Slytherin Lake Windowsss


From afar, one might think that the windows in the Slytherin Common Room just haven't been washed in twenty years. But when you get closer or look harder, you might see a fish flash before your eyes. Or maybe a kelpie. Or perhaps a tentacle of the Giant Squid.

The Slytherin Common Room resides in the Dungeons of Hogwarts, meaning they are underground. What else is underground, you may ask? Why, the Lake, of course. These windows give you a marvelous view of the Black Lake. Most creatures in the lake tend to like their privacy, so you won't see them all the time, but you can usually see quite a few mindless fish and other things swimming around. In fact, you could spend hours out here watching the creatures of the lake swim by and probably still miss a creature or two that lives in this vast underwater world! Just don't go tapping on the glass. You never know what might pop up to tap back.

Sage did not usually enjoy studying or completing assignment in the common room. She could appreciate the underwater aesthetic but being literally under water felt claustrophobic and it more often than not suffocated her mind. Fresh air, treetops, battlements, rafters...anything that had a certain height and continuous flow of air was where she most thrived and came up with the majority of her more brilliant ideas. Today, however, the confinement of the common room was welcoming and almost nurturing her academic process. Which she supposed made sense considering her task today was narrowing down her ingredients list and finalizing at least half of the quantities. Well, as final as she could do before heading to the Potions Lab and giving things a brewing test.

Plopping herself down on a pile of pillows that had seemingly migrated from the sofas to one of the corner windows, Sage lines her ingredient filled phials out in a row before her and set a small stack of parchments containing notes and calculations from the research phases beside those. "Now, let's begin with the basics," she hummed to herself while pulling out a fresh piece of parchment and set her quill to it. "Water...250 ml..." A neutral base to allow for the rest of the ingredients to dissolve and shine best. She had tried with some other bases, mostly fruit juices and stock, just to see how things may pan out...but the balance had been all off and even neutralize some of the ingredients. Milk had been out of the question as well seeing as it curdled when the temperature reached a certain height and animals spleens especially needed high temperature. "Next...two honeysuckle ovaries, three dried petals, and two whole nasturtium buds..."

Text Cut: Sage's parchment
  • 250 ml water
    neutral base to best allow for other ingredients to dissolve and reach best potency
  • 2 honeysuckle ovaries
    reduce inflammation (nasal, smaller air passages) and relax in particular the Levator labii superioris alaeque nasalis (LLSAN) muscle
  • 3 dried honeysuckle petals
    to add sweetness to neutralize bitter and sour notes of other ingredients; making the potion more palatable
  • 2 nasturtium buds
    strengthen respiratory system; neutralize unattractive potion coloring

Yeahhh, Mr White! Yeah science!

Rowan's grades had been suffering since her return to Hogwarts in September. She had been a high flier, achieving the scores she wanted at OWL level, but things had taken a turn for the worse since her muggle grandma's health had started to decline. The recent stint in hospital had been sudden and shocking, and Rowan took the decision to leave Hogwarts to spend time with her nan.

Since then, the redhead had been returning home frequently for a few days here and there, since her grandma had been discharged, but she was falling behind. It didn't help that she was the sort of girl to keep to herself, her emotions kept fully in check on the surface, and left to bubble below. She was loath to ask for help and was beginning to get stressed.

To her dismay, she had missed opening session for the long term potions assignment --her favourite subject-- and necessary for her future plans when she graduated. She made her way from the dorms into the main common room, debating whether to pay Professor Adara a visit to get caught up to speed, when her gaze fell upon Sage who just so happened to be working on the assignment she was thinking about. How fortunate..

She perched herself on the sofa, leaning forward to take a look at the vials and ingredients surrounding the other girl. “What are you working on?” She asked, sounding nonchalant, trying to glean what the assignment might be.

Sage couldn't help but wonder if she should have more than 250 ml at the start of her potion seeing as some of these ingredients were really going to absorbed the liquid and turn things more into a paste rather than a syrup like she had been intending. Though...she did suppose that she would have to get to her brewing station to know for certain. At least adding more water was a minor tweak to potentially be had compared to other complications that COULD be. The snakette continued to fine tune her final ingredients list, adding some adding preparations notes to a few while finishing up the list, Sage was feeling a bit too please with herself and the possibility of a undisturbed dining experience in the future.
Text Cut: Sage's parchment
  • 250 ml water
    neutral base to best allow for other ingredients to dissolve and reach best potency
  • 2 honeysuckle ovaries (crush with side of silver knife to enhance potency?)
    reduce inflammation (nasal, smaller air passages) and relax in particular the Levator labii superioris alaeque nasalis (LLSAN) muscle
  • 3 dried honeysuckle petals (sliced lengthwise into strips)
    to add sweetness to neutralize bitter and sour notes of other ingredients; making the potion more palatable
  • 2 nasturtium buds
    strengthen respiratory system; neutralize unattractive potion coloring
  • spleen of a bat/toad/newt (harvested while Silencing Charm is placed upon the creature)
    small animals spleens are a common thread in potions associated with growth. Theoretically any of these three should prove effective enough but further trials need to be conducted to know for certain
  • 10 shelled pistachios (grind both shell and pistachio separately into a powder using mortar and pestle)
    packed with proteins that stimulate saliva production
  • 4 dried puffer fish mouths (ground into a fine powder using mortar and pestle)
    will focus the potions effects on the mouth area


Tickling her lips with her quill while she attempted to sort out the final pièce de résistance to her brew (attempted being the key word seeing as the attention she was giving herself was unnecessarily distracting now that she was mandrake leaf free), the sixth year looked up when she heard her dormmate's voice. First response was to be upset that she hadn't been more aware of her surroundings to sense Rowan's arrival but it was quickly cast aside in favor of a gentle elation. "Potions," she responded while diligently moving her things aside so her fellow sixth year to join her. "and you're back!"
