It has been suggested to me that I teach you a Fright Solution, as some of your marks are exceptionally poor due to an absurd fright of my class. Very well, I will. Ingredients and instructions are on the board. I do hope that you have not forgotten to bring the bottle of Timor Orchid sap that Professor Sprout gave you.

Potions Blackboard
Fright Solution
Ingredients
Timor Orchid sap
Dragon's blood
Flobberworm mucus
Fig juice
3 porcupine quills
Spiders, dead and dried
Essence of Lionfish

Instructions
Bring 1 pint of fig juice to a boil. Add 1 gram dragon's blood and let simmer for 5 minutes. While it simmers, grind an addition gram of dragon's blood with 10 dried spiders in your mortar and pestle. Add this to the fig juice after five minutes. Stir five times clockwise. Simmer for three minutes, then add 1 ounce flobberworm mucus. The potion should immediately turn a brilliant purple. Add five drops Essence of Lionfish. This should cause the potion to return to a dull green. Bring back to a fierce boil and add 3 porcupine quills. The potion should go several shades lighter in color and thicken considerably. Lastly, add 20 drops of Timor Orchid sap. Let it continue to boil fiercely until it has turned to the color and thickness of glue. Remove from heat and bottle.

Your time is up. Bottle your effort and bring it up to me. I will keep it for grading. You may keep the remainder of your Timor Orchid sap as it will lose it's potency tomorrow. Class dismissed.
