Laurasia looked over the notes for the potion. Then quickly began. She cut her ingredients into the necessary forms & then stuck her wnd into the water-filled cauldron & used the "Relashio" spell to make it reach boiling quickly. She added the earth-based ingredients & consistently swirled the mixture counter-clockwise for 2 minutes.
She then let the brew sit for the needed 40 seconds & followed by quickly adding the water & air-based ingredients. She again swirled the brew counter-clockwise until the mixture became a nice Slytherin green. She then added the fire-based ingredient & let the brew sit. She took down some notes while waiting for the brew to change colors.
For a few minutes she feared that she had not done it right, as it didn't seem to be changing. Then she noticed that the Slytherin green hue was slowly beginning to fade to a lighter color. She watched intently as the brew shifted into the transparent-bluish hue that was mentioned. She poured a small amount of the potion into a tube & labeled it with her name & house.
Knowing that she needed to drink the potion in order to test it she gathered another vial. Feeling confident in her brewing abilities, Laurasia promptly drank the vial down. A tingling feeling came over her, but nothing more. She smiled proudly, of course it had worked.
Laurasia wrote down the final part of her final & took the materials up to Professor Virohsa's desk.
