Taking her Shrivelfig half in her gloved hand Melbourne started to get to work. Her fingers pressed into the of the purple Shrivelfig pushing the halved fruit until the juice of the fruit was now in her cauldron instead of sitting unused in the possibly useless fruit…really – were they edible? That would have made far more sense as to why they were used in SO many potions now? Considering they were used in many a potion.

Why an invisibility potion? She wondered for a moment until an idea popped into her head ultra violet the shrivelfig might have given the potion the ability to be harder to see?...not have color or well have colors humans couldn’t see? Still thinking about how the potion could turn something, someone, or anyone invisible Melbourne set about stirring her potions ten times counter clockwise – by the fifth stir she was glad that she had opted for her much lighter crystal stirrer…maybe it would lend to having her potion be cleaner and more effective? That would ne nice. Five more stirs counter clockwise and she was finished with the first set of stirs…then, immediately she moved on to stirring her potion again – five times clockwise all the while the color of the potion was deepening until on the final stir the color was dark purple.

Right. That looked like a nice color for a skirt – a deep intense purple would go swimmingly with some of the things India had given her before the start of term…still, now wasn’t a time to consider clothing ideas it was a time for dedicated potion brewing and with that Melbourne picked up the little ramekin dish she had placed her cherries in before placing them into her potion – one…two…three…four…five…six – good. That was it and adding in the silver sparkles she just grinned awww this potion looked like a cool edgy lipstick shade. NO now was not a time to think how cool and edgy that would look.

Super cool, and super edgy….”finite” Mel muttered as she shut the flame below her cauldron off with a flick of her wand. ”I’m sorry for your loss Moths…but thank you for the cause,” she muttered to the wings as she tucked away the empty ramekin that used to be the home of six delicious cherries…now, with the wings in her hand she took the vial of Demiguise tincture in one hand and unstopped the lid. Picking up one of the four Moth Wings and dipping not one but two of them into the Demigusise tincture and added the entire solution into the cauldron. Stopping the now spent tincture vial she placed it in the bowl full of used utensils that she had set about to clean after she reached a stopping point in the potion. Taking the vial of pearl dust she dropped the contents into the potion and watched the chemicals react…the sizzling burning reaction was interesting to watch and almost calming. It didn’t take long for the reaction to burn out. When it had fully burnt out she added in the third moths wing and proceeded to begin stirring her cauldron with a new freshly cleaned stirrer. Five stirs counter clockwise then five times clockwise – the color of the potion lightened and seemed to gleam more as the colors changed to a shimmering silvery-white. It was beautiful, still, almost reaching the end of the potion she plugged on. The final remaining moth wing into the potion and taking her cheese cloth she placed it over the top of her cauldron and set to work cleaning her work station.

“Scourgify” she muttered as her and made the familiar shape and she watched the vial in her hand glint clean, “Scourgify” again, she cast this this time on her stirrer and then she cleaned the desk with a cloth she had doused in a cleaning potion she had picked up – one, that of course, didn’t have many chemicals in it and wouldn’t react to whatever was on the desk. The mess and pile of spent materials was dealt with in a matter of moments…now, she still had to wait for the five minutes. Five minutes that seemed would take a petasecond to be finished…merlin this waiting thing was taking eons. Waiting…absolutely the worst part of potion making.
