Homework # 2 -

Anthony was excited for his first real assignment in Potions. A self-proclaimed over-achiever, he was certain that he would do well with the first assignment and create a nearly perfect potion. Ok, maybe he wasn't that confident, Anthony wasn't really confident about anything. Still, he sat down at his desk and carefully wrote down all of the instructions before beginning to make the Boil Cure potion. The last thing Anthony wanted was boils, so he made sure to pay special attention to Professor Harker's last word of advice before he began.

First he carefully placed his cauldron over the fire and then grabbed the first ingredient. Anthony liked to take his time doing his work, so he added the Dried Nettles in slowly, stirring the potion as he did so. The cauldron bubbled a little, but Anthony was not startled or worried, he figured that this was what was to be expected. A quiet student, as he worked he didn't ask too many questions. The potion seemed fairly simple and the process of making it was explained very thoroughly.

When he was finished adding in the Dried Nettles, he added in the Crushed Snake Fangs. Unsure of how many to add, he ended up adding a few too many and was concerned with how this would effect the overall outcome of his potion. Still, he decided to continue and carefully added in the Stewed Horned Slugs. When he dropped them in, the potion bubbled again and emitted an odor that Anthony considered quite foul. He wafted the potion away from him and removed it from the heat. He wondered if anyone else's potion smelled like his did and his eyes darted around the room before he added in the Porcupine Quills. Satisfied that his potion was finished, even if it was probably a bit off because of the snake fangs, he bottled it, corked it and turned it into Professor Harker. He grinned sheepishly as he gave it to her because Anthony knew that he should have asked her about the snake fangs before continuing and he hoped that he wouldn't get too much of a reduction on his grade.

Lesson 3:

“Today we will be learning about Animal Derived Ingredients that we use in potions. Please take a couple minutes to write down a few that you can think of at the top of your notes and then we will move on.”

Anthony quickly scribbled down all of the things he could think of. The first was snake fangs, since last lesson he had used too many in his potion. The list continued from there:
ashwinder eggs, black beetle parts, frog parts, flobber worms. He didn't get very far before the lesson started and he had to take notes on more specific things. His notes appeared as follows:

Acromantula venom: venom dries out not long after Acromantula's death, 100 galleons a pint
Armadillo bile: Wit-Sharpening potion
Ashwinder Eggs: ingredients in love potions or may be eaten whole as a cure for ague, highly flammable, must be kept frozen

They were moving so fast Anthony could hardly keep up, but he tried anyway and continued with his notes.

Bezores: kidney-like stone from a goat, protects from poisons, hairball
Bicorn Parts: powdered horn, polyjuice
Billywig parts: dried stings
Black beetle
boomslang parts: shredded skin, polyjuice

Anthony skipped over Bundimun secretion since she said it wasn't so important.

Caterpillers, crockroaches, crocodile parts, Doxy eyes, Dragon eggs: all non-tradable, come in illegally

Erumpent parts: horns and tails, exploding fluid
Flobberworm mucus: thickens potions
Frog parts
Glumbumble fluids: antidote for eating Alihotsy leaves
Graphorn: powdered horn
Horned slugs
Horned toads
Jobberknoll feathers: memory potions, truth serums
Lacewing flies
Leeches: shrinking potions
Lionfish spines
Murtlap essence: pickled murlap tentacles, yellow, heals and soothes cuts and other wounds
Newts, porcupine quills, puffer fish eyes & rat spleens: swelling solutions
Re'em blood
Roonspore eggs: enhance mental ability, black market
Scalamander blood
Crushed Scarabs
Snake Fangs
Snake venom
Spiders
Tube worms
Unicorn: blood, horn and tail hair

Anthony practically threw his quill down and massaged his hand when he was finished.
