Hogwarts RPG Name: Athena Evans (A twin) Third | Athena quickly wrote down the directions from the board, and then double and triple checked them to make sure she had written them accurately. Underneath the directions she added her own line: Quote: Ingredients: Water (200mL)- potion base Salt (6 g)- emits light Billywig stings, dried, powdered (2)- excitation Essence of firefly (3 drops)- aids in the production of light Instructions: *Set water to boil and add salt, stirring clockwise until dissolved *Powder billywig stings and add to boiling salt water, stir counter-clockwise 12 times, then clockwise twice and repeat six times *Carefully add essence of firefly, one drop at a time, stirring 6 times counter-clockwise then clockwise twice in between each addition *Reduce flame and simmer for 20 min before allowing potion to cool *Carefully ladle potion into appropriately sized vessels *fill vial to the brim to keep sloshing that might activate the solution to a minimum.* She was about to go and get her two vials when she looked up and realized that Mich had gotten them for her, “Thanks!” She whispered to her friend Athena went to the cupboard to get the ingredients that she would need and got an extra set for Mich while she was writing down the instruction, and then went back to her desk. Re-reading the directions one more time, she began. She set the fire under her cauldron after making sure that her cauldron was clean. She added 200mL of water and as it got hot added 6 grams of salt, and stirred continually clockwise until she was sure that the salt was completely dissolved. She added the two powdered billywig stings to the now boiling salt water and began stirring counter clockwise 12 times, then clockwise 2. She did this 6 times. Next she added the essence of firefly making sure to add one drop at a time and stirring 6 times counter clockwise and 2 clockwise in between each drop, Satisfied that she had followed the directions to a T, she turned down the fire and began letting the potion simmer for 20 minutes. Glancing at the clock, she marked the time and waited. After 20 minutes of simmering she turned off the flame completely to allow it to cool before bottling it. When her solution was finally cool, she very careful not to overly aggravate the potion, she ladled it into the two vials that she had gotten from the front desk, careful to fill it as high as she could without spilling any. Hoping that her solution was precise she took it up to the professor to turn in. She returned to her desk and cleaned up her mess. |
