The Tales of the Dark and the Light: Two Souls

Chapter Sixteen: Preparations

Onai, what are you doing? Asked Arthur, sitting on his bed.

I'm trying... to improve our potions, replied Adrian, carefully messing with the cauldron atop the green flames in their dorm.

You know you might end up ruining it.

Well, then I'll have something to throw at someone.

That's true, but hey, if you can make a super strength potion, that would be helpful.

Well, we'll have to see, but for now.. Says Adrian, picking up a strange claw.

What's that?

It's a griffin claw. You know, since they're strong, it might make the potion stronger. And with a bit of this crushed unicorn horn, and mixing with some stirring and leveling of temperature... He said, adding the two into the cauldron with the strength potion.

Where did you get those?

Professor Slughorn was a bit distracted with the girls' Antidote to Common Poisons, soooo I took the liberty to go around his desk and saw a key that allowed me to open the advanced cabinet of ingredients, and I might have stolen this, said Adrian with a smirk.

Hopefully, the professor won't notice because I bet he'll realize advanced ingredients are missing.

We'll just have to wait and see. Look, it just turned into a dark orange color. I think it's ready, says Adrian as he picks up the potion from the cauldron.

So, you turned our two Wigennweld potions into a single one that we don't even know what it does?

Well, yeah, but hopefully it helps.

If it turns you into a griffin, I will punch you Arthur said chuckling.

~In the Hufflepuff common room~

Ohhhh by MERLIN, WHERE IS IT!? Said Maya already grabbing her hair)

What are we looking for in your sisters dorm? Enquired Lilibet confused.

My sister as a special book... She says rummaging through the drawers. That book as a lot of spells written in it and how to cast them..

That is interesting, have you searched under her bed? Asked Lilibet.

No, not yet, let me check.. I feel two books here let me pull them... Says Maya as she pulls two books from under the bed to the floor between her and Lilibet.

Here see, Hufflepuff Book of Wizardry, announced Maya.

The Hufflepuff Book of Wizardry is a comprehensive guide to various spells and their casting techniques. Anastasya's idea for this enchanting book is to become a treasure trove of knowledge, offering Hufflepuff students and aspiring witches and wizards a wide array of spells to explore and master. Within it's pages, the book contains detailed instructions on spellcasting, accompanied by intricate illustrations and handwritten notes. Anastasya's personal touch can be felt throughout the book, with her unique insights and perspectives on magic. The Hufflepuff Book of Wizardry covers a broad range of spells, including charms, transfiguration, potions, and more. However, it is worth noting that Anastasya's book is known for its enigmatic nature. While many spells are listed, only a select few have descriptions explaining their effects and some are still needing of a description. As Anastasya moves on her years at Hogwarts she pretends to complete the book with the essentials she has learned.

We will take this book and hopefully we can use some of it's spells on our adventure, said Maya with a smile.

You sure she won't notice it's missing?
