Love Potion #9

5 points each have been awarded to Brunette and Snapes_girl for their suggestion!

We saw the effects of overly powerful love potions in HPHBP, where Ron became dangerously smitten with Romilda Vane. I want you to create your own love potion where you control the intensity of affection that the potion inspires, as well as controlling who is taking the potion.


Part One

List the ingredients that you believe would be used in a love potion, describe the colour/odor and time it takes to brew, the name of your particular potion. There must be at least 9 ingredients to the potion.

40 points.

Part Two

Next write a short story describing someone who uses the potion and what effects this has. I want the story placed in the Harry Potter world, you can either write yourself into Hogwarts, or write about existing characters (for example you can either slip the potion to someone you fancy in the HP world, or you can write about a time when Goyle spiked Crabbe's pumpkin juice or something along those lines) Please keep it clean!

50 points.

Total points possible: 90

Do not copy another student's work and remember to cite any sources you use!

Good luck!

Part One:

Unicorn hair
12 rose petals
3 drops of your own blood
a length of your own hair
1/2 gallon of ocean water bathed in a red moon
1/2 gallon of Fresh water bathed in Blue moon
7 liquid drops of gold
6 liquid drops of silver
1 full bottle of honey

The end potion should be a dark purple, after it's been stirred counterclockwise for a nonstop 2 hours. It should smell of Jasmyn flowers after a rain storm.

Part two:
Ronald Weasley laughed as he made a final counter clockwise turnfor his potion, he'd been working hard on this one but finally after 3 hours it was done. He took a vial out of his robe pocket and filled it to the brim. He pocketed it once again and shoved the cauldren under a toliet in Moaning Murtal's bathroom. He had a triumphant smile on his face and he exited quickly hurrying down to breakfast thoughts of Hermionie on his mind.

He turned and entered the Great Hall and sat down at the trio's usual seats. He uncorked the vial and dropped 3 drops into the pumpkin juice. Hermionie bounced happily into the room a few minutes later.

"Morning Ron" She said Cheerily sitting down across from him. "What made you get up so early?"

Ron grinned, "Oh I had some homework I had to finish,"

"Good for you Ron, you've finally got your priorities straight." Hermionie picked up her pumpkin juice but before it reached her lips Draco Malfoy aproched and took her glass from her hands and took a swig.

"This has got to be the worst stuff I've ever tasted," He sneered. "But of course it must be perfect for you mudblood."

"Good Morning to you too Malfoy, now go away." hermionie glared at him

"Yeah, get out of here you dirty little-" Ron said standing up.

"But Ron," Malfoy Began.

Suddenly Malfoy was inches from Ron's face, "Ronniepoo"

"Oh-mi-god Malfoy get away!" Ron stumbled backwards

"But Ron I love you"

Part 1

10 crushed adult black beetles
The juice of three daisy stems
A strand of your hair
3 grams of lacewing flies
A cup of pomegranate
An ounce of salamander blood
Acromite leaves
Cinnamon sticks

First you must boil the salamander blood and daisy stem juices for 10 minutes. The color should change from a dark red to pale pink. Then you slowly add the crushed black beetles, one beetle at a time. Between beetles, you must stir clockwise once and counterclockwise twice. Allow it to simmer until a clear liquid is achieved. As the smell is quite pungent, you may want to wear a face mask. Then add the lacewing flies and acromite leave. This should rid the potion of it’s spoiled smell and smell like freshly mowed grass. When the potion starts to bubble you must immediately lower the flame and add a strand of your hair. Keep an eye on the temperature as constant bubbling may ruin the potion. Different people may cause the potion to be different colors. However, you will know when it’s ready if the surface of the potion is a clear translucent color. The instensity of the potion will depend on how long you allow the potion to simmer in this state. Every 5 mins simmering equals to 1 hour of love affliction. Then you can add cinnamon sticks to counter the effects of singing and turning a peakish color. Potion should be finished within 1-3 hours depending on the time allowed to simmer and the intensity.

Part 2 (I may have went overboard a bit hehe and the characters and events are a bit different from the book)

“Finally finished!” Jenn exclaimed with a satisfied smile as she corked a sample of her glimmering lavender love potion. Picking up her wand, she muttered a spell to seal the cork. Glancing out of the corner of her eyes as she picked up her bag, she carefully picked up the tiny bottle. “Do you want me to wait for you?” She asked Elana as the tall brunette Ravenclaw continued stirring her own potion.

“No, you go ahead, I’m almost done anyway.” Elana said with a wave of her hand. As she watched Jenn walk toward Snape’s desk, her dark brown eyes settled on her remaining pot still simmering in her cauldron. An idea formed in her mind as she watched the potion glimmer in the candlelight. With a quick look at Jenn’s retreating back, she spooned the rest of the potion into a large jar and hid it in her bag. Swiftly she picked up her own sample of love potion and cleared the table.

Outside, Elana hitched her blue bag onto her shoulders and started down the stairs. Jenn caught up with her within a few seconds. “Shall we head down to lunch?” She asked as she tied her damp strands of hair back. “Thanks for cleaning my cauldron by the way.”

Elana shrugged nonchalantly, “It was no problem. I actually have to do something right quick, but I’ll catch up with you later?” She asked as she backed away from her friend. As Jenn nodded, she turned the corner and headed toward the fruit bowl portrait. As she entered, several house elves came straight to her side.

“Mistress Richardson! Can we help you with something?” They asked as their nose touched the floor in the long bow.

Waving a hand, she shook her head and motioned them back to their places. Torn between serving the young student and making the last minute preparations for the lunch meal, they shrugged their tiny shoulders and left her to wander along the kitchens by herself.

Glancing around, Elana slowly came toward the giant pot of pumpkin juice and glanced around. Swiftly, she withdrew the jar she bottled in Potions and slipped it into the juice. For a moment, the cauldron glimmered lavender before slowly changing back to it’s original shade of orange. With a mischievous smile, Elana backed up a few steps and headed back downstairs.

“So, what do you think we should do during our Hogsmeade trip?” Jenn asked as she sheared a slice of roasted ham on her plate. Hearing no response, she turned around and noticed Elana glancing around the Great Hall nervously. “Hello? Elana?”

Startled, Elana looked up and smiled at Jenn. “I don’t know. Why don’t we just wing it?” Her smile brightened as Ron Weasley entered the Hall with Harry and sat down across from them. Yet her smile faded a bit as Ron reached for the pitcher of pumpkin juice. She quickly grabbed his wrist and smiled. “Ron, I don’t think you should drink the pumpkin juice! I heard it..hmm slows down your reflexes. You wouldn’t want to be hindered during the quidditch match tomorrow.”

Puzzled, Ron glanced at Elana for a moment and shrugged. ‘I suppose not.” He slowly reached for a pitcher of water as he gazed at her with a raised eyebrow. “Water is okay right?”

“Of course.” Elana said as she slightly blushed for a moment.

Jenn continued looking at Elana strangely. “Elana, are you sure you’re okay? You’ve been acting weird ever since we left Poti-”

“Hey Jenn.”

Looking up, Jenn saw Cedric Diggory smiling down at her. “Well, hello Cedric.”

Surprisingly, Cedric dropped his bag and sat down next to her. “So how are you? I have to say I think you look great today.”

Flushing slightly, Jenn glanced down at her wrinkled robes and tangled hair. “Well, gee thanks Cedric I-”

“Hey Jenn.”

“Hello Oliver,” Jenn absentmindedly said as she continued to look at Cedric in confusion. Her gaze suddenly zipped back up to Oliver Wood’s handsome face. “Oliver!”

Slipping down between Cedric and Jenn, Oliver grinned widely and tucked a strand of hair behind Jenn’s ear. “You know I’ve been meaning to talk to you all day.”

“You…you have?” Jenn asked breathlessly as she leaned on her elbow.

“Of course, I’ve been in the library all day researching quidditch maneuvers but when I saw you down the table, I couldn’t help but want to talk to you instead.”

“Really? Go on…” Jenn said as her face slightly flushed.

“Hey, Jenn.”

“I’m in the middle of talking to Oli-Blaise!” She said with shock written on her face as the tall Slytherin casually draped his arm around her shoulders.

“What do you say we go somewhere and talk so we could have more privacy?” Blaise asked with a slight wink as he leaned in closer to her face.

“Well, I would love to but…” She glanced to her left and noticed Oliver and Cedric glaring daggers at each other. “Wait, I don’t understand how…and why… ” Suddenly she heard a giggle to her right side. As she lifted Blaise’s arm, Jenn stared straight at Elana as she tapped her fingers on the table. “What did you do?”

Shrugging innocently, Elana smiled. “I didn’t do anything…I certainly didn’t drop your love potion into their drinks so they could fall madly in love with you and have them fight over you.”

“Elana! How could you…” Jenn stopped short and glanced again at the three boys gazing at her in admiration. “Or maybe there are benefits to this…as long as it was only them who drank it. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad.” She slowly said as she held Blaise’s hand, leaned on Oliver’s shoulder, and winked at Cedric.

Elana didn’t say a word and slowly got up from the table.

“After all, they are the only ones that drank it right Elana?” Hearing silence, Jenn looked up and saw that every male, and some females were gazing at her in lovestruck silence. “Elana……”

Elana grabbed Ron’s hand and dragged him out of the Great Hall. “Quick before the fighting over Jenn starts!” Just as they reached the double doors, Elana heard Jenn bellow her name as the first punch struck.

Part 1:

7 crushed petals from a thornless red rose, for Love at first sight
5 crushed petals from a red-tipped yellow rose, for Falling in love
6 crushed petals from a coral rose, for Desire
2 teaspoons of essence of peppermint, for Strength
1 bar of Honeydukes chocolate, for Sweetness
4 crushed wings of a blue butterfly, for Beauty
3 pinches of nutmeg, for Excitement
1 vial of phoenix tears, for Healing and Compassion
1 ounce of froth from an ocean wave, for Peace
2 ounces of crushed bark from an oak tree, for Long lasting
1 dash of honey, for Seduction

After the potion is finished, it should appear transparent with a very faint pink tinge to it. It should be odorless, except for a very faint smell of roses. The potion takes an hour and a half for it to brew and it has a very high intensity level and, when brewed correctly, lasts for 10 days. This is the Amote potion, combining the latin words "Amo Te", meaning "I love you".

Part 2:

Finally, after so much work, the Amote potion was done. Lavender Brown wiped the sweat from her forehead and carefully poured the potion into a glass vial. It was almost clear, except for a faint tinge of pink, and it was practically odorless, save for a faint smell of roses. 'Perfect,' she thought, 'He'll never suspect!' The 6th year Gryffindor bottled up the potion and hid it in her bag. Suddenly, the sounds of celebrating and cheering reached her ears. "What's that?" she murmured. Running down the steps of the Gryffindor Girls dorm, the 6th year girl's heart thudded in her chest. For there, with his smile stretching from ear to ear, was the soon-to-be recipient of her love potion. "What happened?" Lavender asked, right before she remembered the Quidditch match that she had missed while brewing the potion. "Did we win?" When she was greeted with nods, Lavender cheered with the other Gryffindors, but for a slightly different reason. 'Here's my chance!' she thought.

Lavender hurried up to her bag and retrieved her potion. With it in hand, she ran back down and grabbed a butterbeer. She poured a bit of it into the fire and surreptitiously poured the Amote potion into the glass. Looking around her, Lavender replaced the cap and swished the drink around, mixing it up. Then, she walked up to Ronald Weasley, the star of the game, and handed it to him. Blushing, Lavender said, "Here Ron, you deserve a drink."

"Thanks Lavender," he said, surprised by the sudden gesture of friendship.

Opening the bottle, Ron drank half of the butterbeer in one gulp and Lavender walked off to sit in one of the armchairs and waited while her potion took affect. After glancing at her watch every few seconds for five minutes, Lavender sighed and closed her eyes. What if she hadn't brewed it right like she thought? Suddenly, Lavender was surprised by Ron's voice. Looking up, she reflexively blushed.

"Hey Lavender," Ron said.

"Hi Ron."

"Umm..." Ron seemed to be at a loss for words.

Confused but excited, Lavender said, "Yes Ron?"

Finally, the words came out like water released form a dam. "Lavender," he said, "I-I really like you and I think you're beautiful. Will you go out with me?"

Ecstatic, Lavender tried to hide her obvious bliss, but it was harder than she thought it would be. "Yes Ron!" she cried.

Then, before she knew it, Ronald Weasley, the guy of her dreams, sat down next to her and began snogging her like there was no tomorrow. 'Mmmm...' Lavender thought. 'I think I'm in love...'

5 Bat wings
7 snail shells
12 cornish pixies
1 eye lash from potion creater
1 hair with cuticle attached from victim/intended person
3 tea leaves
3 coffee granules
22 house elves
4 Slytherins
handful of fairy dust


First place your couldron onto the fire, then very slowly smash the snails shells, dropping them delictely into the couldron, add the cornish pixies, stir counter clockwise 19 times add one clockwise stir, add the coffee granules. By now the potion should be turning blood red. Add the tea leaves, drop in the 22 house elves, waving each one off, drop in the 4 Slytherins, kissing each one twice on both cheeks and grinning evily as they cry. Your potion will now have turned a sweet lavender colour, add your eye lash and the hair, take hold of the fairy dust in both hands, close your eyes and think of the person you wish to make love you, drop it all into the couldron and clap twenty three times before shouting long live snape. Allow to brew for one hour striring 19 times clockwise and six times counter clockwise. Once brewed your potion will be baby pink in colour and smell of Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue. Only three drops of the potion is needed. Anything more will result in actions unknown.

Part Two.

Gazing sweetly at Professor Snape, ElfieDumbledore, daughter of Albus Dumbledore, walked slowly to the front of the class and placed down her homework assignment. As Snape's eyes flicked across her homework, she rather swiftly slipped half a bottle of Fountain of Love Potion into his goblet of pumpkin juice. Smiling gleefully, she watced as Snape raised his goblet to his lips and drained the whole thing.

"Amy," he said dreamily gazing at the girl standing behind Elfie. "Marry me!"

"EEEKKKKKK!" screamed Amy running to hide behind her friends, as everyone watched Snape fall over his desk in an attempt to reach her.

"AMY!" cried Elfie in confusion, hot tears slid down her cheeks as she watched her true love (she has two XD ) clamber after her friend. "What went wrong? WHAT DID YOU DO AMY?!"

"Nothing!" shrieked Amy, rubbing her irrated eye, a cluster of eyelashes fell onto her cheek. "Do something!"

"Amy my love, my darling, the only who believes i am good," drooled Snape, dropping to his knees and crawling across the classroom towards, his arms outstretched in a gesture of pure love. "Please my darling..."

"STUPIFY!" screamed Elfie, her spell hitting Snape in the back of the head, whilst her class mates scrambled for the door Elfie calmly began to remake her potion, keeping Snape stunned all the while.

Finally her potion was ready, she opened Snape's mouth forcfully and poured the whole thing down his throat, holding his head to her chest, she awoke him.

"Elfie..." he sighed as if he were in heaven.

"I am here my love..." swooned Elfie.

"Where is Dumbledore?" asked Snape with a note of sadness to his voice.

"In his office."

"Oh no ... ALBUS MY LOVE MY DARLING!" screamed Snape, jumping to his feet and springting out of the dungeon in the hope of reaching Dumbledore.

"Drat you potion!" bawled Elfie, slamming her fists down onto the floor, jumping up she ran after Snape and Stunned him once more.

Dragging him by the hair, she concocted yet ANOTHER potion, again, forcing it down his throat. This time when he awoke...

"Elfie my love my darling, my world," cooed Snape dreamily.

"Thats more like it," grinned Elfie as she kissed Snape happily.

Part One:

1 cup rainwater
3 hairs from your own head
2 toenail clippings from your left big toe
10 red fire ants
5 blades of soft green grass
a spoonful of sugar
a dragon scale
one unicorn tail hair
a white flower


Boil the first five ingredients until they have formed a watery paste. It should be a murky blue. Then stir clockwise as you add the sugar, dragon scale and unicorn hair. A huge billow of black smoke should erupt out of your cauldron, and the potion will turn electric green. You can take a moment to air out the room, and then add the petals of the flower, one by one as you stir counterclockwise.

Every flower will make the spell slightly different. This is why it is called 'Ever-changing.' A chrysanthemum will invoke desire, while a daisy will cause the closest possible thing to true love...check Lurdley's Little Love Lessons for exact descriptions on each white flower. When you have added every single petal (DO NOT INCLUDE THE STEM OR LEAVES) let simmer on a low flame for forty minutes. By the end of this time the potion should be the palest blue, and of a syrupy texture.

Leave it outside for one cloudless night, so that it can soak up the starlight, and then you're done brewing.

Part Two:

A huge plume of smoke drifted out of an upstairs window. There was a loud crash, and a yell. In all the mayhem, Fred picked up a cupcake and filled it with blue syrup. He inspected from all sides, and then closed up the little hole where he had inserted the syrup. "Excellent! Can't see a thing."

"Oy! What have you been doing?" George said happily, plopping himself onto the bed. "Potion all done?"

"Yes, in fact I just--"

"Ah, cupcakes! Excellent idea! I'll just--"

"No, George! WAIT!"

"--have one before you begin filling them. Shame to waste mum's good cupcakes on experimentation." With that George took a big bite out of the side of a cupcake. The one, unfortunately, that Fred had just filled. "Wait a minute..." said George, looking down at the cupcake in his hand. Blue syrup oozed out of it. "YOU FILLED THIS ONE!"

"That was kind of what I was trying to tell you earlier," Fred muttered. He brightened up suddenly. "Ah well! We DO always test our products on ourselves, do we not? There we go, then! You first!" He grinned wickedly at George.

"Oh no you don't," George said, panicking. He could feel the potion beginning to take effect...he could feel an unquenchable love for--

"NO!" he shouted. Grabbing his wand, he pointed it at himself and shouted "Stupefy!"

Fred looked down at George, sprawled on the bed. "Better you than me, George. I'll wake you up in a while." He made his way out the door, whistling merrily, and blew George a kiss.

Aetmodi Amoris (Aaterni Modi Amoris, Eternal Melody of Love)

~*~Part 1~*~

This potion is not only complicated to brew, but also highly effective in the smallest dose already and may thus be dangerous through incorrect use. Before you start to brew, think about it hard. The illusion of love created is strong and very long-lasting, and if you are not sure about your feelings for the 'victim', if you do not love them with all your heart, you should better find another potion quickly, for this one is eternal in some way.

If you decided wisely for this drink of deep emotion, you will need:

9 teaspoons of rose water
6 rose petals (white, yellow, pink, red, deep red, black)
9 drops of your blood
6 tail hairs of one unicorn
9 Ashwinder eggs, frozen
6 ginger roots, each cut in 6 equal pieces
9 sprigs of peppermint
6 jasmine flowers
9 violets
6 twigs of myrtle
9 apple seeds
6 feathers of a white dove
9 drops of wax of a pink candle
6 cinnamon sticks
9 bars of Honeyduke's chocolate
6 tears from your eyes

To ensure the correct work of the potion, firstly wash out the cauldron neatly and make sure that your fire is hot enough to start with. For efficient work, lay all ingredients out in front of you in the correct order.

Give the measured rose water into the cauldron and as long as it does not boil, give in the rose petals one by one. First is the white one, utilised to create a base of innocence and purity. The following yellow one adds to this a good amount of friendship along with an illusion of freedom, whilst the pink petal simulates a strong joy inside the drinker. The red petal will bring upon him or her a feeling alike that of love along with respect for the creator and the courage to live out the simulated feelings. For the attraction, the deep red one will bring upon the love interest a passion towards you as much as a strong desire for your beauty. Finally, the black petal will help them feel ready so say their farewell to their own former love interest, should they have had one. Your potion should now have turned a very deep red color, almost crimson.
In itself, this already is a great combination, but it is far from enough to free the greatest extent of magic possible. Furthermore, this potion would not ensure you to be the intended person's new interest. Thus, next you should sacrifice a part of yourself: Into the tip of one ring finger of yours, carve a cut in the shape of a heart and let nine drops of your blood fall out of it and directly into your cauldron. Now heal the cut and quickly plait the unicorn hairs into two rings, wound into each other like symbolic wedding bands. When done with this, place them on the surface of the liquid in your cauldron. Now begin to stir clockwise until it boils clearly.
At this point, insert the frozen Ashwinder eggs and let them dissolve in the hot water. This procedure may take ten to fifteen minutes, giving you enough time to cut the ginger roots up carefully. They are to be put in as soon as your potion has turned an intense orange-red color. After putting them in, let the potion simmer for exactly twenty-four hours. This allows for the concentration of the it to intensify.
When the simmering time is up, your potion should be of a light yellow color and thick consistence. If this is the case, make a bouquet out of the peppermint sprigs, jasmine flowers, violets and myrtle twigs and let it sink to the bottom of the cauldron. As soon as the bouquet has ressolved itself fully, stir counter clockwise accurately six times, then stir nine times clockwise. The potion should now have turned a pastel shade of green and stirring it should be easy even though it looks like a very thick substance. In this step, you included euphoria and a attracting scent as well as innocence and secret love bundled with perfection, all of which should together stand for a very good base for a long relationship.
Before adding the next ingredients it is now time for the most important step in making this potion and creating its unique effects. Put your face close to the cauldron, feel the warmth of the liquid, concentrate on your one and only love and begin to sing whatever words come to your mind to whichever melody your heart creates. Do not worry about being off-key or having a thin voice - all that counts is to put all your emotion into your voice and sing your innermost thoughts and feelings into the cauldron. If you feel like all is said, stop with a smile and slowly stand straight again. Your potion is now a love-filled one, light pink with white smoke rising up in the form of small violin clefs.
At this point, take the apple seeds and scatter them into the potion to stir them in tenderly. If done the right way, your potion will resemble the hot pink color of the sky during a romantic sunrise. To add more love and a touch of peace, kiss each of the dove's feathers once and let them float onto your potion. It should now smell of roses and a warm summer breeze, dazzling your mind just enough to dream of your love while you light the pink candle and let nine drops of its wax pour into your cauldron to ensure that your love's interest will not cool down anytime soon.
After having added all striking powers, you should now try to spice things up a little and give it a taste of your love by adding the cinnamon sticks and chocolate bars and bring your potion to a last short boil. Do not wonder when you start crying as soon as it boils, but give the dramatic touch of six tears to the liquid and watch it turn crystal clear and fluid like the purest spring water.

When giving the potion to your love interest, be thrifty in dosing and carefully in chosing the time. If your skills are well enough and you brewed masterly, your chosen one will soon see the world in shades of pink and hear a wonderful melody in his heart that leads him straight to you - the person he desires day and night, awake and in his dreams. Effects will last at least a few months with a single drop only, and the melody of your heart will never truely leave that of your secret love, so beware! On the other hand, there will not be any rough mistake about them, because you sang to them and only them, and everyone else you might accidentally slip the potion will only feel the 'plain' mix of attraction, lust, love et cetera which by itself will last for approximately two months.

~*~Part 2~*~

It had worked. Somehow he had managed to brew his very own love potion, a strong dose of Aetmodi Amoris, with which he would be sure to finally captivate the heart of that very person. When he walked into the Great Hall for breakfast the next morning, everyone close enough noticed the triumphant feeling that had taken over his heart, his soul and obviously also his face. Today would be the day. His day.

He knew that nobody would ever suspect him to have done anything, after all who would not put it past him to do such a thing? He felt a sudden urge to laugh out loud about their stupidity, to shove the bottle in their pathetic faces and show them that he wasn't as stupid. This could have been the day. His day. But he had something more important to do. Nothing would be of any importance any more as soon as he had slipped the crystal clear liquid into hat one drink.

Noone noticed him slipping the potion into the specific glass of pumpkin juice. Then again, noone ever seemed to notice him doing anything. Today, this would change. Finally, he would be noticed, even if it was by one person only. He watched those slender, sweet hands pick up the glass, saw the juice run over those soft pink lips, noticed the decent gulp at that fragile throat swallowing the tasty liquid. And then saw them run off to wherever it was this time. He smiled, knowing he'd only have to wait until the evening.

When the sun began to set, he draped himself onto a chair in front of the fire, waiting for the portrait hole to open, and only a few minutes later, it did. His heart began to increase its beat and his face broke into a smile by itself as his living dream slowly walked up to him. He couldn't help but greet them. "Hey, you been practicing all day again?"
"Oh, Neville, I did, it was really hard. But you know, I thought of this song all the time and, well, it wanted me make to see you."
"Well, Harry, that's really nice. Why don't you come a little closer?" And soon enough, Harry Potter was sitting on Neville Longbottom's lap, going through an interesting mix of emotionally talking and even more emotionally making out. And for a long, long time, the whole school along with the Daily Prophet and practically the whole wizarding world had a new favorite topic: the long-lasting relationship of Neville and Harry, full of lust and love, as it seemed, but most of all full of mysteries.
But if only anyone had known how much more there was still to come...

~*~

Somehow, I suddenly heart the idea of making this a fic

Part One

hope you don’t mind but my potion creation thing in the other thread of mine was a love potion so I added it here

Often confused with a love potion, L'elisir d'amore (The Elixir of Love) does not make one infatuated or obsessed with the target, nor manufacture or imitate love. The Elixir of Love attracts the drinker to the one they love, if they do not love anyone at the time then the elixir has no effects. People who do not know who they truly love, like when they are torn between two people or are unsure of their feelings often use it.

The elixir has a pinkish color when done right. The potion rarely has side effects, but occasionally since the potion let’s you know who you love you may end up getting yourself in trouble with your partner (boyfriend, girlfriend, fiancé, ect.) if they are not the one you truly love. Also, if the potion is made wrong you might end up trying to snog everything that walks.

Ingredients
9 oz. sweet red wine
9 basil leaves
9 red rose petals
9 cloves
9 apple seeds
9 drops vanilla extract
9 drops strawberry juice
1 ginseng root, cut into 9 equal pieces

Put these nine ingredients into a cauldron on the ninth hour of the ninth day of the ninth month of the year. Stir the potion nine times with a wooden spoon. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat and let it simmer for nine minutes. Remove the cauldron from the heat and allow the potion to cool off. Blow nine times upon the potion, and then you are done. A word of warning: This potion is extremely potent and should be used with caution. Its results can be very intense, long-lasting, and often difficult to control or reverse.

Part Two

Cat sat at her potions table bored out of her mind. She had finished Professor’s Snape’s potion early and now had nothing to do. After about five minutes of boredom she decided she might as well do something. She got her cauldron again and grabbed a bunch of random ingredients. She didn’t know what she was going to make and could care less if it ended up causing an explosion, it wasn’t like Snape was going to take much points off her house if she did, after all she was a Slytherin.

She looked at what she had and debated on what to do with it all. After a while of looking what she had she realized what she could make out of it. She checked her muggle watch that she obtained from some lost first year Gryffies as a payment for telling them where the Great Hall was. It was 9 a.m. ‘Perfect’, she thought and grinned. It was the ninth hour of the ninth day of the ninth month of the year. Nine was a good number in her mind and perfect for the potion she wanted to make.

She put nine ounces of sweet red wine, nine basil leaves, nine red rose petals, nine cloves, nine apple seeds, nine drops of vanilla extract, nine drops of strawberry juice, and nine pieces of a cut up ginseng root into her cauldron. She stirred the potion nine times with a wooden spoon. Then, she brought the mixture to a boil and then reduced the heat and let it simmer for nine minutes. After that she removed the cauldron from the heat and allowed the potion to cool off. After it cooled off she blew nine times upon the potion, and then she was done. The potion was a perfect pink color, just like it was supposed to be.

She placed her elixir into various bottles and then labeled them. When she was all done with that she placed them in a box and set them on Professor Snape’s desk.

“Sir,” Cat began. “I was hoping I could get some extra credit.”

Snape opened the box and examined the vials containing the pink potion and then looked back to Cat. “Making extra potions in class without permission? You could have done something terribly wrong and caused who knows what.”

“I am sorry sir,” She apologized. “I was bored.”

“Well given that the potion in these vials seem to be perfectly made I guess I can excuse your idiocy,” He spoke. “Oh and 10 points to Slytherin!”

Cat walked back to her seat with a smirk on her face, ignoring the glares she got from the non-slytherin students.

Ingredents
1 pinch of rosemary
2 teaspoons of black tea
3 pinches thyme
3 pinches nutmeg
3 fresh mint leaves

Sugar
Honey




I sat there as I began to write my essay for my potions homework about dangerous potions. I had decided to do mine on Love Potion.
Next to me I saw a group of girls pouring over a textbook similar to mine. They were talking about creating a potion. I suddenly became intrested what potion were they trying to create.
Fee lets make a love potion
one of them said my heart skipped a beat "You do know love potions are incredibly dangeros and to perform one on another student I'm sure it is something that could get you expelled." I said giving them a stern look.
"O well If little miss prefect says so we must." she was mocking me I could tell. Gathering up my books I said "If I get so much as a wiff of a love potion I will be reporting you to the headmisstress."
A few months later and I had not got a wiff of love potion so I came to the conclusion that they had given up on the idea. When I saw a slytherin boy running down the corridor screaming fee someone get me fee the beutiful fee. Anger came over me.
"I know where Fee is" I called. The boy wizzed round and began pulling at the hem of my robe.
"Please take me to her please." he looked desperate. Grabbing his arm I took him to the room of requirment where I thought of a room full of felicity pictures I pushed him in there closing the door behind. I then ran all the way to the heads office to tell her what had happened. She felt most sorry for the boy but thanked me for my quick thinking. The boy in question was a slytherin chaser of the name of Jiles Melcy. He to had thanked me for making sure that he had not done anything and told me of how she had liked him for a very long time but he had a girlfriend. To my disapointment though Felicity only got a letter home and a loud of detentions.

Love Potion #9

We saw the effects of overly powerful love potions in HPHBP, where Ron became dangerously smitten with Romilda Vane. I want you to create your own love potion where you control the intensity of affection that the potion inspires, as well as controlling who is taking the potion.


Part One

List the ingredients that you believe would be used in a love potion, describe the colour/odor and time it takes to brew, the name of your particular potion. There must be at least 9 ingredients to the potion.

40 points.

Ingredients:
1. 4 ounces lettuce extract
2. 5 ounces of crushed Ginseng
3. 3 cups of Coconut milk
4. 6 ounces of Dark Chocolate
5. 2 pads from a dogs foot
6. One tablespoon phenonix marrow puried
7. A lock of hair from both intended to be effected boiled in the mixture
8. 8 inch slices of banana
9. 1 ounce of menstrual blood from a happily married woman

First gather the items, then extract juice from the lettuce, crush the ginseng
Purey the phenonix marrow, The ingredients must be boiled. No deaths are required, however you may have some moral concerns obtaining a few of these items, let alone using a love potion in the first place.

The potions consistency is that of a thick creamy soup. It's flavor is bitter-sweet.
The odor is coppery and sweet.
You should boil the brew for eight minutes.

"The fire of love potion."

Both of those to be effected should drink of it and have physical touch within three hours of imbibing the concoction.
It should produce virility, loyalty and passionate love in the drinkers.
It is best served in soup form and it only takes a soup spoonful to take effect.
Side effects: if only one party drinks of it and/or cannot gain physical contact within the time frame they may sponatenously combust.
If done correctly the bonding will cause a warm sensation.
Duration should be until one of them dies. There is a cure it is called"hearts fire bane."
Part Two

Next write a short story describing someone who uses the potion and what effects this has. I want the story placed in the Harry Potter world, you can either write yourself into Hogwarts, or write about existing characters (for example you can either slip the potion to someone you fancy in the HP world, or you can write about a time when Goyle spiked Crabbe's pumpkin juice or something along those lines) Please keep it clean!

50 points.

Total points possible: 90

Do not copy another student's work and remember to cite any sources you use!

Good luck!

Case study:
A certain wizard developted feelings for a younger witch. He learned of this potion.
He managed with some qualms but fierce determination to make the potion and deliver it as a soup which she ate some of. Many lose their nerve when faced with the ingridients. He had already eaten some himself. He pretended to stumble and touched her bare shoulder.
They immidiatly formed feelings for one another, felt a warm sensation and bonded.
This is an example of the potion working as planned. They lived relatively happily ever after.

'' okay...when?''
'' tonight'' said aaliyah

Tonight in the great hall:

George already put the love potion in his cup and switched it with ginny's.

'' Hey sis come sit here.'' said george winking at aaliyah who was sitting next to neville.

ginny sat where george put the cup and drank her unknown spiked juice.

'' hey umm.....dean, do you want to go out with me??'' asked ginny to dean thomas

'' uhhh....sure you, me, tommorrow, three broomsticks''? asked dean trying to be cool

george winked twice at aaliyah to show that it worked because ginny had no intrest in dean before.

THE END!!!!1

You seem to be missing the full nine ingredients, name of the potion and required descriptions so you recieve 10 points for the first section. The story could have been longer and included more details about the after effects, how long it lasted, ect. so you recieve 10 points.
