Lesson Three

Swelling Solution

It is highly recommended that the Deflating Draft be mixed before the Swelling Solution in case of accident. See Volume II for Deflating Draft recipe.

Ingredients:

• Pufferfish Eyes a witch's dozen*
• Alice Mushroom one chunk from the correct side
• Eilonweed six tufts
• Diluted Ocean Water 2.5 litres

Start by squeezing the pufferfish eyes, one at a time, into the water. Students, do not flick these eyes at your classmates, despite the fact they are just the right size and gooey enough to stick to the target. Once all of the eyes have been added to the water, bring it to a boil. While the water is boiling, dice your mushroom and Eilonweed as finely as possible. Boil for three minutes, then add mushroom and Eilonweed. Simmer uncovered until smoky. Do not spill or toss fireworks into solution.

*A Witch's Dozen is equivalent to the Muggle term A Baker's Dozen
