Part 1:
Memory Potion

Ingredients:
- 1 dragon scale
- 3 strands of mermaid hair
- half cup of pure water
- something you want to remember

Materials:
- somewhere secluded
- a gold cauldron 3ft by 3ft
- a silver knife
- bronze knife
- a branch from an apple tree

If brewed correctly over the correct amount of time, the memory potion is a useful potion before an exam or to remember a good event that you do not want to forget.

The whole process of making the potion take over the time period of 11 months and 9 days - which is a reason why not a lot of people use it for remembering evernts (they mostly likely will use a pensieve) and more remember facts for exams (since this potion is on a hard level that may be too much for a student). But if brewed correctly, it is very useful.

During the time of the first 2 months you have to locate all the ingredients and materials needed. (see lists above) After locating a quiet room and setting up the caludron to a low fire (about skin temperature) pour the pure water aka holy water into it. Remember, holy water does not boil so you don't need to worry about putting any charms on it.

During the 3 month, you have to cut up the 3 strands mermaid hair into 3 parts, each, making 9 short strands. Sprinkle them around the water and make sure all of them sink to the bottom on the third week of the month. (remember to use the bronze knife to cut it, not the silver one)

During the 4, 5, and 6th month, get the dragon scale and polish it until it shines so bright it is like a lumos spell. Take the branch from an apple tree and on the scale draw the rune symbol for 'man' and the letter M. (the branch sould make a slight imprint on the scale since you polished it so much it'll just make a line of dirt/dust) Use the silver knife and chip the edge of the scale - but remember to save the charded remains of the chipped off parts. On the 6th month, you'll have too put the remains and the scale in the cauldron. The scale goes in the very center (watch it sink) and the remains go around (like the mermaid hair)

During the 7 - 11th month you are just to wait and tend the fire. On the 11th month, the potion should turn a slight shade of red (kind of like pink). Just before you pour it in a bottle, you need to write the stuff you need to remember on pieces of parchments and throw it in (watch it sink) and dissolve) if you would like to remember something, take out your memory (like how one will do with a pensieve) and put it in. If you want to put the things after you pour it into a different container, it is okay too, but it may be harder to stuff parchement paper in a bottle.

Drink the potion after all the long, hard, and correct brewing, you will remember the stuff you put in, crystal clear. Remember you could put multiple things in the potion to remember more stuff - don't waste all your hard work and only put a few things!

Part 3:

Dragon grinned to herself as she tiptoed across the room. Reaching the bed where Skittle was sleeping she gently put the bottle of pink liquid on the table next to the bed. Tomorrow is the big exam day and she knew that Skittle was scared of forgetting her facts so she had brewed the potion just for her.

Just before she left to go back to her own warm bed, she slipped a parchment of facts on the table next to the paper for the instructions. Backing out of the room, she almost bumped into the door and smacked her head on the wall.
