''Every potion is arranged by the family they're coming from. But, you have to be careful with it.'' I nodded and he then started reading as the recipe went:
Bulb of garlic
3 large iron nails
9 pieces of white thread, 9 inches long each
6 pieces each of black and red thread, 9 inches long each
White egg
Water
Wine
Black candle
Small bowl
''Luckily, I've got everything I need here'' he smiled as he then took the bottles with items he needs as he started making the potion
''First, braid three white, two red and two black threads. Light the candle and when a little wax has formed around the top of it, use the braid in wax so that it forms a wick. Do this twice more with the remaining threads, so that you have three braided wicks.'' I watched as he did what he said
''Pull some skin from the bulb of garlic and wrap it around one of the iron nails. Wind a braid around the nail. Do this twice more with the remaining wicks and nails. In the bowl, make a triangle shape of the three iron nails. Place the egg in the centre of the triangle. Sprinkle it with wine and water three times, and wait 4 hours. After 4 hours, throw the egg out and drive the nails deep into the yard. And that's it.''
''So, that should... protect the house?''
''Yes.'' he nodded
''Zayn?'' my parents entered the room
''Yeah'' I looked at them
''Did you show him the teleportation spell?'' my dad turned towards my uncle, Robert
''I just did the protection spell.''
''Ok, good.''
''I'll show it to him now.''
''Zayn...'' my mom kneeled down in front of me and grabbed my hands ''It's gonna be ok, yeah?''
''Yeah, I know'' I nodded as she pulled me in for a hug
''Your uncle will show you the teleportation spell. This could make you get to the sword. Just... look at this photo carefully.'' she gave me a photo of the sword:

''You see how the left side of the sword is black, and the right side is white? And how under the black side, there's a white hand and under the white side there's a black hand?''
