Recipe for a Successful School Year Potion

By Castora Grimsby

A Successful School YearIn an aged cauldron mix the following ingredients over a steady flame:

  • 1 packet of enchanted pixie dust
  • 2 pinches of sweat
  • 1/2 of a corner of an ancient textbook (250 years or older)
  • 1 pair of socks from a nutty professor
  • 3 eyelashes from a new prefect
  • 4 detention notes accumulated from the previous year
  • 1 cup of sneezewort from the Greenhouse
  • 5 feathers from the Owlery
  • 9 knuts from Gringotts
  • and a piece of your acceptance letter

Stir counter-clockwise until the paper has been full absorbed. Mutter the following incantation while stirring:

Boil, boil, bubble and bubble
This year I promise to stay out of trouble
Stellar, strong and smart you'll see
Expect only the best from me.

Now that you have gotten rid of all that rubbish riding around in your satchel from last year, you are guaranteed to have the best HOL year yet! Just don't tell your professor you used their socks in your potion!
