| Arthur looked at the door, waiting for Aqua to show up. He had put on his mask and gloves already. He knew Professor Holmes hadn't wanted them to chose the person they were sitting next to but everyone else he knew had been taken, not that he didn't like the thought of working with Aqua, he just had no idea if she was any good at potions. His notebook was sitting on the desk. He had copied down the instructions for making the potion. It wasn't going to be an easy potion which made him feel uneasy but he pushed that feeling down. He just needed to pay close attention and follow the instructions. I'm good at potions, I can do this.- Spoiler:
1. Slip on gloves and put on face mask. You will not be able to remove your face mask, so make sure to put it firmly on your face. If you inhale any gases you will be sent to a hospital and will be given a Troll.
2. Place the Angel's trumpet on the chopping board. With your scalpel, carefully slide it vertically from the petals to the stem. The petals will be placed in your mortar, and the liquid of the flower will be collected and put aside. The leaves will be thrown away.
3. Open the cacao beans, slowly. Remove the seeds and put them in the syrup that the plant releases. They will be soaking on it for the remainder of the potion until further stated.
4. The root. In the jar at the center of my desk is a jar with all the roots from the Angel's Trumpet tree. Take half of one, share it with a partner. You will shave off the skin and chop the root, place it in a separate bowl.
5. Put the base (water plus one cup of vodka) into the cauldron. Put the low flame. Once it begins to bubble, put in the roots around the cauldron equally. Do NOT let them just be piled in the center.
6. Once that is done, Put the petals of the angel's trumpet into the mortar and begin to create a paste. Add a dash of goat milk, two teaspoons recommended. (If done correctly should have a pale yellow look to it.) Once done,slowly add the soaked petals.
7. Once done, get out Jobberknoll feathers. You will be putting in four feathers along the sides of the cauldron. (You will take them one once the color is removed from it).
8. Once it begins to boil cover it. We do not want the fumes to be released into the air.
9. Meanwhile, you will have to take the soaked cacao beans and begin to crush them. The liquid will remain within them with the mortar in them.
10. Ten minutes after, remove lid from cauldron and put to low flame. With a colander, add the mixture of cocoa and syrup of the flower into the cauldron. Immediately after begin to mix in a counter clockwise direction. The faster you mix it the color will slowly dissipate. Note: If it begins to smell of sweetness, add a cup of vodka to mute the smell.
11. Cover and put to high flame. As for the soaked cacao beans, place them in the jar at the front and cover it. You will wait 35 days for it to end.

| Aqua was bit late for her next potions lesson. This time the lesson was done with just one partner. For het is was Arthur, boy who she met in forest few months ago. They didn't know each others very well.
Anyways she walked into the classroom. "Sorry if I'm bit late," she said there now eith a weak smile. She looked at his book what they will do hete now. She was good in potions but not the best one either, there are people who are better for sure.
She did put on her gloves and mask too. She was now ready to start. |

"Err, its okay," he said. Really he had been worried that she wasn't going to show up and that the professor was either going to fail him or he would have to do the entire potion by himself. He would have preferred the second option. A solo potion was something he could do, regardless of his thoughts about the danger involved.
"Are you any good at potions?" he asked as he put the Angel's Trumpet on the cutting board. He supposed he could help her out if she said no but he hoped he had chosen someone competent in potions to partner up with. The instructions were clear so hopefully they could both figure it out.

| Aqua looked at the instructions then at Arthur. "I'm quite good. In Hogwarts at least I did get E in potions but I'm sure there is people who are better than me," she said there honestly. It wasn't good idea to lie about such thing. She looked what he did now and then at instructions again.
"Okay you need now be careful," she said there. She had to wait until he was ready with slideing there noe. Since basically futher thinfs needed something from Angel's Trumpet. So she had no other choice right now. She hoped it will go well, the potion. |

| Good, she knew what she doing then. He had heard you would have needed good potion marks to be accepted into the academy but some of his classmates were still very bad at potions.
"I'll be careful," he replied. "We'd finish faster if we split the work. You could start on the beans if you don't mind." He wasn't trying to be bossy, he just wanted to make sure they did this properly.
He grabbed a scalpel and started cutting the Angel's trumpet. He carefully sliced the Angel's trumpet vertically from petal to steam. Then put the petals in one bottle and the liquid in another. After making sure he got all the liquid out, he put the leaves in the trash. He glanced over to Aqua, to see how she was doing. |
