Picking up her pen, she scratched off the steps her and Torin have already done.
As she waited for the water to boil, Reese sat there and measured out 2 drams of the lovage pollen. By the time she had the exact amount, which took a little bit since she was bad a measuring stuff exactly, the water with the crushed fluxweed in it was boiling. Perfect! She added the lavage pollen to the potion and stirred it until it dissolved - just like the instructions said to do.
Right when the lovage pollen went into the potion, it turned a light golden color. Reese glanced over at the directions and smiled when it said it was suppose to turn that color. "We're on the right track," she said. "Now, we just got to stir it clockwise and counterclockwise until the potion is brought back to a boil, and then we wait and allow it to simmer for 5 minutes." She began to stir the potion like the direction had stated and took a glance back towards the sheet of paper near her. "It says add lovage seeds, but I heard Cela ask the Professor when to add them," she told Torin. "So, maybe we add them later since Professor Kazimeriz hasn't told us when to add them."
She continued to stir the potion clockwise and then counterclockwise, and then the potion was brought back into a boil. "Torin," she spoke up again. "We need to wait 5 minutes, and then you can add the bloodroot. Here..." She moved the directions over, so he could see what to do. SPOILER!!: Directions Love Potion
STEP ONE: Purified water, 4 ounces Fluxweed, two bunches- finely crushed Lovage pollen - 2 drams
3 lovage seeds, whole - ???
Bloodroot, 3 roots- split lengthwise, scrape inner membrane out
Apple cider, 8 ounces
Lionfish heart, minced
Griffin dandruff, 1 dram Warm water until just before boiling. Crush fluxweed with mortar and pestle, add to water. Allow to come to a brisk boil. Add lovage pollen, stir until dissolved. Potion should take on a light golden colour. Stir slowly, alternating clockwise and counterclockwise stirs bring potion back up to a boil and allow to simmer 5 minutes
Add inner membrane ONLY of bloodroots; do NOT include the tough outer membrane of the root!!!
Add apple cider and lionfish heart; potion should take on an iridescent sheen and a light pink to purple cast
Add griffin dandruff and simmer until your potion takes on a deep pink to red sheen.
He watched as she started adding to the potion while talking. Hopefully he would be able to do some stuff for this thing. Or something. But it was okay just sitting here too, it gave him a chance to zone out.
He was daydreaming about Quidditch when she told him something about bloodroots. He immediately snapped out of it. "Wait, what?" He looked at her, confused. And then she handed him a piece of paper.
Looking it over, he saw that he had to add the bloodroot in 5 minutes. Or a little less time than that by now. "Right..."
He immediately set about preparing it like the instructions said to and when he saw that it was the right time he added the inner membranes of the things to the potion.
He crossed that step off of the list then added the apple cider and lionfish heart. He watched as the potion took a pinky purplish colour. It was pretty.
Then he added the griffin dandruff. Now they just had to let it simmer. SPOILER!!: instructions Love Potion
