OMG GOLD STAR!

Cam looked up to see another gold star be placed just above his head. WEEEEEE! Now imagine if he got this right, maybe even anoooother gold star! He didn't really care about winning and all that, because really, the gold stars already proved to be waaaaaaay awesome and such. Yup yup. "Thankyouu sir!" And he was off to work. "Okee okee, ingredients first..." He looked back at his plan, carrying his journal off with him to the side of the walls with the ingredients, remembering to put on his dragon hide gloves because he did read something about doing that.

"Ginger roots...5 chicken feathers," he paused, worrying and wondering if they had to kill a chicken to get all of these feathers, "Uhh... okay let's seeee here. Pepper, leaves, lovage, sneezewort, peppermint. And Wartcap Powder?" Hmm. He didn't know what the heck it did that could have made him wear gloves, but eh, he handled the small box carefully and went right back to his workplace area.

He skimmed down through his potions textbook yet again, using his finger as a guide. OKAY! So he was good to go. Grind first I guess. Cam grabbed about, 4 mortars and 2 pestles, placing the lovage and sneezewort in one mortar and the others in their own. He started grinding the black pepper first, grabbing a pestle and grounding it down, doing the process for about, 5-7 minutes or so. He did the same with all the other ingredients in the mortars and started cutting up the ginger roots.

Ugh. 15 slices?! Well THAT was gonna be hard. Cam took the knife. Knife. It only brought him to worry. Here he was grinding and murdering these HERB/PLANTS. It was just SADDDDD. On the 15th slice, he gave a sigh of relief and QUICKLY put the knife away. Hmm cutting up the ginger roots weren't part of the instructions? Eh. He wrote more stuff down in his plan.

Type of Potion you are Making (choose ONE):

* Physically Altering (Simple Transfigurations ONLY: Do not attempt polyjuice, this class will not be open for 21 days!)
* Emotionally Altering
* Behaviorally Altering

Intent (what you think the potion you make should do): Based on the Tickling Tincture, it'll make the user laugh and feel all happy--and hyper, all at the same time!

AKA HAPPY-GO-LUCKY POTION

Ingredients:

~~Same~~ Same&Additional ingredients used in Tickling Tincture:
• water (500 mL)
• ginger roots (cut; ~~10 slices~~ 20 15 slices--JUST TO BOOOST UP THE HAPPINESS)
• Wartcap powder (1/8 teaspoon) DO NOT GET ON SKIN!!
• chicken feathers (5 down feathers)
• black pepper (ground; 1 teaspoons)
• alihotsy leaves (ground; 1 3 teaspoons--will cause slight hysteria, will be used to add in the HYYYPEERNESSS&excitement)
• lovage (ground; 1/2 teaspoon--will cause a bit recklessness, to add in with the hyper)
• sneezewort (ground; 1/2 teaspoon--will cause a bit recklessness, to add in with the hyper)
• sprig of peppermint

Process:
• ~~Start grinding the pepper, alihotsy leaves, and lovage (seperately)~~ Grind pepper, alihotsy leaves, and peppermint seperately. Grind lovage and sneezewort in one bowl. And slice ginger roots in 15 slices. *do not put TOO MUCH strength--(do not waste all of your energy grinding, will just waste time&energy)
Grinding with a pestle&mortar I found to be very helpful and effective though it requires a little bit of strength to grind it ~~perfectly~~ almost perfectly. Also found grinding counter-clockwise with the pestle to be helpful too, as it moves your hand outwards and you don't get all too cluttered up. Each took about 5-7 minutes, in total minutes, about 20-30 min.
• Cut up ginger roots in 15 slices *NEEDS to be cut evenly
Requires time&patience as well.
• Bring water to a boil
• Add ginger and Wartcap powder, stir counterclockwise for 5 minutes
• Add chicken feathers and black pepper, stir clockwise for 2 minutes
• Mix all grinded materials in one bowl and pour in cauldron. Stir clockwise for 10 minutes.
• Remove from fire and stir clockwise for 3 minutes

Cam then proceeded to the next step.
