Hello, welcome to the first lesson of Potions! Today, rather than making anything, I will be teaching you on a few different types of potions that you might be making over the course of the next couple of years. First I would like to start off with the
Boil Curing Potion:
This is a rather simple potion, usually taught to first years sometime over the course of their first month or two. As its title suggests, this potion is one that cures any and all boils that a user might have. However, if you somehow manage to screw up the potion in some way, it will usually have the complete opposite effect that it was intended to have, covering the drinker from head to toe, depending how much of the liquid they either managed to drink of get on themselves, with boils. The ingredients include: Dried nettles, crushed snake fangs, stewed horned slugs, and porquipine quills.
Then, there is always the good old
Confusing Draught:
Again, as the name suggests, such a potion is used to make the drinker of the concoction confused, and unable to think correctly for themselves half the time, mixing up the simplest things. Many believe the Confusing Draught to be the Beffudlement Draught as well, only under a different name. It is known that both share the same ingredients, which are as the following states: Scurvy-grass, Lovage, and Sneezwort.
And, the last potion we will be learning about today is known as the
Shrinking Solution:
The Shrinking Solution is a rather interesting potion, and I'm hoping we might be able to get to making it some time over the course of this year. The potion itself, after completion, takes on a sickly acid green-like appearance. Despite its name, however, this potion has an effect opposite to the one of the Aging potion, causing the person(or sometimes even animal or object) who drinks it to become younger, therefore becoming "smaller" in a sense. The ingredients for this potion include: Caterpillar, Daisy roots, Leech juice, Rat spleen, and Shrivelfig.
Your homework assignment is listed below, and is due May 16th.
