Fancy started gathering her ingredients together and laying them to the side. She set her pewter cauldron in front of her, determined to get the brew right. Glancing up at the blackboard, Fancy scanned the ingredients and instructions.

She poured the water and the oil in her cauldron and lit a fire so she could bring it to a boil. While waiting for the water and oil to boil, she began to ground her pepper and sneezewort, making sure that they were perfect. When Fancy noticed that bubbles were appearing in her cauldron and steam was rising above the rim, she added the freshly-ground pepper and sneezewort leaves.

"21...22...23...24...25." Fancy counted to herself as she stirred the brewing solution in her cauldron counterclockwise. She then glanced at her watch and began timing for five minutes for the potion to boil. While she was waiting for the five minutes to be up, Fancy counted out 5 sneezewort blossoms and 5 down chicken feathers.

Once the 5 mintues were up, Fancy added the 5 blossoms and stirred 10 times counterclockwise, then the 5 feathers and stirred the potion 25 times counterclockwise.

"There sure is a lot of stirring to this potion." Fancy thought to herself. She glanced at her watch periodically for the next 5 minutes, repeating the "5 times counterclockwise, 1 time clockwise" stirring pattern. She then had to wait another 5 minutes for the potion to boil, so she decided to take advantage of the waiting and decided to raise her hand and ask Professor Branxton a few questions about the Sneezing Suffusion.

"Professor, exactly how is this supposed to used if we're not supposed to ingest it or get it on our skin? And what color and texture should the completed suffusion have?"

As Fancy completed her question, she glanced into her steaming, boiling cauldron and examined the potion. Some of the fumes made their way into her nostrils and Fancy could feel a sneeze coming on.

Achoo! Fancy covered her mouth with her sleeve and sneezed as quietly as possible. "Well, at least the potion seems to be right." She thought to herself.
