"MERLIN'S MMMMOUTHWASH," Fletcher choked, throwing his arm over his face as his eyes started to water from the STAAAAAANK of the doxy eggs. "That's just... that's just.... no."
DISGUSTING. Whoever came up with this task had to have a sense of humor like a hyena. EVIL. VILE. GROSS.
Fletcher hustled back down the ladder after that fiasco and went in search of the next clue. Oh lucky him, there was another riddle attached to the bottom of the doxy egg box. He yanked off the piece of parchment and studied it intensely.
Quote: Out of the ground,
I grow round and upright,
Sometimes picked,
By the full moon's light. Now which of these other ingredients was harvested under the moon? His initial thought was moonstone, but Fletcher quickly dismissed that idea. It was too obvious an answer and it hardly grew out of the ground.
After a few more moments of pondering and weaving amongst the ingredients, Fletcher had it with a snap of his finger. "Fluxweed! It has to be harvested under the full moon when you use it in polyjuice potion."
So why not now, eh? He was getting good at this potions game. And talking to himself.
Ascending the ladder once more, Fletcher swished and flicked his wand at the fluxweed. "Careful now," he told himself. "Easy does it." The mint-like plant slowly hovered and bobbed over to the cauldron. Fletcher tried to hover it as close to the surface of the bubbling potion as possible before releasing the charm.
Not as much of a splash this time, hurrah.
