Magical Drafts and Potions
By Arsenius Jigger


As there is little wand movement in potion brewing, it is a more complicated magic for most wizards and witches. In this book, you will find and learn ways to conjor up sleeping draughts, cures for boils, and more useful brews for medicines and protection.
THE DRAUGHT OF LIVING DEATH
There is a sleeping potion that you are about to learn to make that is so powerful, it is known as the 'Draught of Living Death.' Take a half-pound of asphodel and leave it in 3 degree (F) water. To prevent this water from freezing, do the preserving spell: "Presser Hydrus". Stir quickly for an hour then add 5 ounces of wormwood. Stir gently for 10 minutes only.
BEZOAR
A bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat and can cure you from most posions. It is about 70 ounces and an emerald green. Drop it in boiling water for half an hour (thirty minutes). Stir gently for that time.
CURE FOR BOILS
Take a cauldron full of water and boil it for 5 minutes. Add 30 horned slugs and leave it for 30 seconds. Take off of fire. Stir in 10 pounds of porcupine quills. Mix for 15 minutes then ready.
HYDRUS IMPACT
Hydrus potions, or potions who's main ingrediant is water, is the most common of all brews. In the next lesson you will learn how to make them.
The HYDRUS CORPS effects the drinker's body. It causes all body parts to stop functioning for a certain amount of time depending on how you made the brew. The more water, the longer and more occasionally it stops. The most queer thing baout this potion, however, is that after a certain amount of minutes the person's body starts back up.
1.) Start by boiling 3 liters of salt water (no more than 3 liters, or else the potion will not work) or less, depending on how you want the result to be. Stir continuesly and quickly for 40 minutes.
2.) Add in 4 sootecks, one every 5 minutes. Remember to never stop stiring.
3.) When all eagals are in, it should turn a redish colour. When a very dark shade of scarlet, add in quarter a pound of diced Sooteck roots, or boldashes.
4.) The last step is to slowly stir the liquid until it starts to steam. The slower you stir, the more it will steam.
UHYDRUS ILLIMINETAON
Hydrus Illiminetaon causes a person to go invisible.
1.) Mix 18 porcupine quills into one gallon of cold water. Let sit for 7 minutes.
2.) Stir for 12 minutes - add in 3 cups of frog spawn ever 4 mintues.
3.) Boil at a high temperature for one hour until porcupine quills have dissintegrated.
FENETRE BREW
This potion is not as effective as Hydrus Illiminetaon, yet it can cause someone to turn invisble as well for 5 minutes. It is much simpler to make, but not as great as an effect.
1.) Take one liter of dragons blood and boil it for 2 minutes.
2.) Stir in 3 vapire teeth and five unicorn hairs.
3.) After 15 minutes of stiring, add in the final ingrediant - 9 spider legs. A blue puff of smoke should come out of the brew. That means it is ready to be drunk.
CAUTION: DO NOT DRINK MORE THAN 3/4 OF A CUP

Today you'll learn A simple potion called Momlouade, the "good-luck" potion that some witches and wizards doubt works, although once Dumbledore drank one and the next minute an owl appeared giving him his order of Merlin first class.
