Chapter One- A Cure For Boils
Chapter 1
The potion I am providing you information about today is the Cure for Boils. You will learn about and make this potion in the fourth week of your first year.
Ingredients:
To make this potion, you will need:
- Six snake fangs
- Four horned slugs
- Two porcupine quills
- A clean cauldron filled about 2/3 with water
Making the Potion: Part One
- Put all six snake fangs into your mortar.
- Crush them with your pestle until they are of a fine, smooth consistency.
- Put four measure of the crushed fangs in your cauldron.
- Heat your mixture to 250 degrees for 10 seconds.
- Wave your wand over the potion.
- Leave to brew and return in 33-45 minutes. (Time needed to brew depends on cauldron type.)
Making the Potion: Part Two
- Put four horned slugs in your mixture.
- Be sure to take your cauldron off of the fire before moving to the next step.
- Add both porcupine quills to the potion.
- Stir clockwise five times.
- Wave your wand to complete the potion.
