After Chris had finished writing out his Potion Plan, the Prefect walked to the areas the Professor pointed out were where the potion ingrediants were found. He caried his notebook with him checking to make sure he was right as he grabbed the necessary essence of violet, essence of rose thorn, two raven feathers, twenty skinkroots that were as thin as he could get, and three rat eyes.

He then walked back to his cauldren station with all of his needed ingrediants, he could make his own water from the Aguamenti Spell, he set them out ready for use. He looked at the notes and read the first step.

'Bring 500mL of water to a boil.' He pointed his wand into a 500mL flask and filled it to the line. He then poured the correct amount into the cauldren, after lighting the fire underneath it.

After waiting a few minutes for the water to boil, Chris looked at the next instruction 'add 5 drops essence of violet and stir 5 times, clockwise.' Seems easy enough. He grabbed the little phial in which the ingrediant was in and dropped 5, little drops into the boiling water. Potions was starting to go well for him this term. He then stirred the required 5 times clockwise.

Next he preformed the 'add 7 drops essence of rose thorn and stir 7 times, counter-clockwise' instruction from his notes stirring the correct seven times counter-clockwise.
