Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when

Fiona watched Professor Noble very carefully as he went through the next stages of making the Soothing Solution. She had to admit that she was feeling a bit nervous as he progressed but she was determined to persevere nonetheless.

She added the three sprigs of valerian to her cauldron before turning up the heat. As soon as she began to see bubbles forming at the bottom on her cauldron, Fiona carefully added the whole sopophorous bean into her potion before picking up her clean glass stirring rod.

Fiona noticed that her potion had turned turquoise blue in colour so she stirred her potion briskly seven times in a clockwise direction until the potion had become a pale blue-grey.

She turned off her burner and set her timer for three minutes to allow for her potion to cool. When the time was right, Fiona held her wand with her wrist flat and swept it over the top of her cauldron making sure her movement was smooth and calm.

After giving the equipment that needed cleaning a clean, Fiona wrote down her notes.

SOOTHING SOLUTION




Ingredients:

70ml flobberworm mucus
3 lavender flower heads (leave five inches of stalk)
4 chamomile leaves (decent-size)
3 valerian sprigs
One whole sopophorous bean

Method:
Heat flobberworm mucus in a cauldron over low heat.

Using your silver knife, finely chop the chamomile leaves and measure a tightly packed tablespoon's worth of leaves before sprinkling them over the surface of the flobberworm mucus. Simmer for five minutes.

While the potion is simmering, carefully braid the lavender heads together. When the five minutes are up, add the whole braid into the cauldron and stir twice clockwise.

Add three valerian sprigs to the potion then turn up the heat.

As soon as bubbles are seen at the bottom of the cauldron, add the whole sopophorous bean to the potion. Once the potion has turned a turquoise blue stir briskly seven times in a clockwise direction using a glass stirring rod until the potion turns a pale blue-grey.

Turn off the burner and set the timer for three minutes to allow for the potion to cool. Once the three minutes are up, sweep your wand over the top of the cauldron, keeping the motion calm and smooth and your wrist flat.
