Jessica walked into her room she was as nervouse as hell and twice and twitcy she placed her books down and smiled as she saw the ring on her finger "not long" she thought as her ring caught the light as she moved, taking out her wand she pointed it at the board on it apeared the days lesson.

Instructions for today: Make sure you tie up your hair if it is long. Also to wear all protective gear: boots, gloves, smock, etc.

Get out all the needed ingredients & Cauldrons first before starting your potions!

DO NOT RUN, or rush around trying to do everything at once! That is how accidents happen.

REQUIRED POTIONS FOR TODAY: Antidote, wiggenwald, & pepper-up. Vitamix & Herbicide are for your own fun if you are interested in herbology and gardening. Although I doubt anyone will get to making that. If you want to make them and we run out of time, make an appointment and I'll watch you work through it. Making all 3 potions complete= In class 5 points.

Antidote:
The antidote is used for most poisons although there are many variations. This is the most common one. Remember that if you are in a hurry, in most cases forcing a bezoar stone down a poisoned person's throat will most likely save them!

Ingredients needed: Collapsible Cauldron, bezoar stone, aconite, boomslang skin.

*I will hand out the boomslang skin & mandrake roots for you to share out. Depending on the number of those who attend we might get away with using only one boomslang skin for the entire class! Each person will come up and cut off a piece and then weigh until it is the proper weight.*

Uncollapse your cauldron, tap with your wand so it stays that way. (if you've not done so already). Add two cups of water. Allow to simmer for five minutes. Steam should be rising from your cauldron. Meanwhile, measure out 2 oz of aconite. Add 4oz of shredded boomslang skin. Small pieces please! Carefully! Your potion should be a slight green/olive in color and steam should still be rising or wafting. Finally, after stirring clockwise thrice and counterclockwise once, add the bezoar stone (whole). Remember to drop it in VERY CAREFULLY! Do not allow it to splash out of the cauldron! It can burn you! Allow potion to simmer for ten minutes and then label a vial (name, house, year, date and potion name) which is to be handed in for grading. The rest of your potion is to be ladeled out into a glass jar that is resting upon my desk. Everyone take one. Label it like the vial and keep in the back of your cubby for just in case. It expires two months later. So remember to give it to me for disposal when it expires!

Allow cauldron to cool, or ask me to use the cooling charm upon it. Make sure you use the cauldron cleanser on your cauldron and utenstils before starting the wiggenwald! Recommended that you start the Pepper-up potion next if you don't have a second collapsible cauldron.

Wiggenwald Potion:
The Wiggenwald potion is for cuts and scrapes & exhaustion.

Ingredients needed: Collapsible cauldron, Silver unicorn horn, wolfsbane.

Place collapsible cauldron on a low flame, add one cup of water and simmer for ten minutes. Add one cup of chopped wolfsbane (small pieces around the size of a finger nail, that isn't much longer than the finger.). Stir thrice clockwise, & twice counterclockwise. Simmer for five minutes and stir clockwise once and counterclockwise once. Measure out 4 oz of powdered silver unicorn horn. If you don't have the powdered form, you will slice off a small piece from a horn in your kit, and then grind using mortar & pestle until it is a powder. Stir twice clockwise after adding in the powdered silver unicorn horn. Your potion should be a light blue or turquoise and a similar steam in the same color should be wafting from your potion. Make up your vial and jar with your label. Hand in your vial and keep your jar in the back of your cubby in the special portion therein.

Expiration: one month from date of making.

You can make up a vial for yourself to take to your dorms after I've tested your potions! (of all potions taught today.)

Vitamix Potion:
Copper Cauldron, wormwood, asphodel root, & monkshood.

Place copper cauldron on flame and add a cup of water, allow to boil. Take out your infusion of wormwood (2oz vial's worth) and add CAREFULLY to your cauldron. Slice up monkshood into strips as evenly as you can. Add to cauldron. Stir twice counterclockwise and once clockwise. Allow to simmer for five minutes while you chop up your asphodel root. Stir twice clockwise. Your potion should be grey in color. Then add the root to your potion. Stir twice clockwise. Your potion should not be a grey-green in color. A wisp of steam should be rising. Label vial and jar, ladel in potion carefully, and do as you normally do (hand in vial and put away jar, making sure stoppers and lids are tight & secure!).

Expiration date: 12 days from making.

smoking.

Remeasure to make sure you've not lost any. Add to cauldron carefully, scraping out everything from your mortar with your knife. Wipe out mortar. Then slice a four oz piece of bicorn horn and turn it to powder in the same way. Stir thrice both clockwise & counterclockwise. Allow to simmer ten minutes.
