"Excellent work everyone, 15 points to Hufflepuff and 5 to Gryffindor and Slytherin for your work on the Herbicide potion last session. Which of you can share with the calls what you know about the Sleeping Draught?"
"Good try, Katie, Flobberworm Mucus is a thickening agent and is useful of course, otherwise it would not be an ingredient. It however is not the answer I was looking for. Would you care to guess again? Or would anyone else?"

"Perhaps its Lavender,Professor? from what i know, it has calming fragrance and it helps you to relax."
"5 points to Slytherin and Ravenclaw. Very good ladies. Exceptional addition Lacey. The effect of Narcissus, the lycorine that can be found found in the leaves and bulbs would defeat the purpose of the brew. Prepare you cauldrons and begin brewing this potion." The first set of instructions appeared on each students parchment after she spoke.
Add 6 Snake Fangs to the mortar
Add 4 measures of Standard Ingredient to the mortar
Add 6 Dried Billywig Stings to your cauldron
Heat on a medium temperature for 30 seconds

*Lacey looks over the available fangs, carefully choosing a half-dozen all with good enamel.*

*I go up to the storage cupboard and get the ingredients. I go back to my cauldron. I add my 6 snake fangs to my potion, 4 measures of standard ingredient and 6 billywig wings then heat it for 30 seconds*
"Kian!" Professor Ramley rushes to Kian's cauldron and waves her wand removing the erroneously added ingredients. "Snake fangs and standard ingredient go into the mortar first. Please follow the instructions." She waved her wand again and a second set of instructions appear on each students parchment
Add 4 measures of the crushed ingredients to your cauldron
Stir 3 times, clockwise
Wave your wand

*She pulverises the four measures of Standard Ingredient and the selected half-dozen fangs, then two-thirds fills her cauldron with Potion water, drops in the six Dried Billywig Stings, and heats it for thirty seconds as instructed, over a medium flame. She carefully and precisely scoops out four measures of the mix in the mortar, and adds them to the cauldron, then stirs three times clockwise, and performs the requisite wand wave. Lacey puts down her wand, and awaits further instructions.*
"Very good Eleanor, 5 points to Gryffindor. Anyone else? Does anyone else care to demonstrate their knowledge with the mention of a poison. Or shall we move on and discuss ingredients?"
