“Hmm...this is more like it. Finally, an essence with magical ingredients,” Snape mumbled, reading the instructions for the Essence of Kris. He walked to his storage cabinet and pulled out the jar that contained a hellebore plant’s roots. Brushing off the excess dirt from one of the longer roots, he dropped it into the cauldron he was carrying.
Severus next reached for the runespoor eggs that were normally on his top shelf, but he only came up with air.
“Odd. Seems I’ll have to use my secret stash. Lucky for me I have a contact in Knockturn Alley,” he whispered as he opened a trick drawer beneath the bottom shelf. Snape drew out a small blue-green egg, a rare color that increased mental ability tenfold.
“And last is peppermint. That’s simple enough.” Snape pulled out a sprig of peppermint from a bottle, tossed it into the cauldron, and placed it on the fire he already had going. After hours of stirring, Snape was finally satisfied with the goopey appearance the ingredients had taken on. Before he could wash the spoon he’d been using, an attractive gentleman appeared and began admiring his blue-green shirt.
“Nice choice of egg, Professor,” Kris commented. |
