Starting the potion and waking up in America
Harry grabbed a cauldron while Tom grabbed the first three ingredients for the potion. They only had 2 and a half hours in the real world till Harry went fully into the world of dreams. Because of that they needed to start the potion quickly without any distractions.
“We need to get the cauldron up to 300 degrees fahrenheit before we can add any of the ingredients,” Harry stated, remembering what he had written not long before.
Harry placed the cauldron directly over one of the burners before turning it on to the second highest setting. Harry then went and grabbed the scale as well as other measuring equipment. Carefully Harry poured out 2 ounces of unicorn blood, 5 ounces of vampire venom and exactly 3 drops of phoenix tears. He then checked the temperature of the cauldron and when it showed it was exactly 300 degrees he turned the burner almost all the way down before dropping the unicorn blood into it. After a few moments of watching the blood to see if it would boil he then dropped in the venom and quickly started to stir it clockwise 4 times before stirring it counterclockwise once. He then slowly let the phoenix tears drop into the cauldron and waited for the liquid to turn gold.
“It seems to be working so far,” Tom told Harry.
“Should we continue,” Harry asked.
“We have exactly 2 hours left and the potion does not have to sit until after the fae tears are added,” Tom answered, going and grabbing the next ingredients for his grandson.
Tom set all of the ingredients in front of Harry so he could prepare them. Harry carefully weighed out exactly 1 ounce of veela hair, then measured out 9 milliliters of gorgon blood. He grabbed three dragon scales, 4 dragon eyes, 10 basilisk scales and grabbed exactly 5 drops of fae tears. Harry then slowly put each individual veela hair into the cauldron watching as the color changed back to red before pouring in the gorgon blood. He then dropped in the dragon scales and eyes before quickly stirring the mixture once more. He stirred 12 times clockwise, 7 times counterclockwise and 13 times in a figure 8 pattern. He then added in the basilisk scales and the potion once again changed color this time turning an emerald green. Harry then carefully put one drop of fae tears after another into the cauldron as Tom stirred it in a figure 8.
“You did quite well Harry,” Tom told his grandson once he finished stirring the cauldron. “You will do well in potions this year I do believe.”
“I would hope so,” Harry snorted. “I have so far successfully made my own potion.”
“That you have,” Tom said, hugging Harry before turning to the clock. “It seems that you will soon be in dream land, so I must say goodbye till tomorrow.”
At that Harry fell to the creeping darkness. For the first time he did not have any dreams but instead just slept. He slept until he felt a hand on his arm. He awoke almost instantly, looking around wondering who woke him.
“Harry,” Draco said. “Mom told me to wake you. We are landing in the next 20 minutes.”
“Ok,” Harry stated, before getting up.
Harry slipped his boots back on and grabbed his coat from his backpack not wanting to be cold when they landed. Then he and Draco walked back into the main area of the plane with their backpacks on. There they saw Faye and Corbin sitting near the cockpit speaking softly to each other. Their parents were sitting near the door to their own sleeping quarters with Sellen and Onyx speaking about when the two brothers needed to be tested for the school year.
“Ah,” Sellen said in an airy voice. “You are both finally awake. We must figure out when the best time is to test your knowledge before school starts on the 10th of august. The test will determine what year you will be in mystics academy as well as what grade at no-maj school.”
“We have to go to muggle school,” Draco whined.
“It only depends on your level in those subjects,” Onyx stated. “Though this year it will not matter much because of the tournament.”
“The plane will be starting its descent soon. I would recommend buckling up,” Faye stated as she looked at her watch.
Draco quickly took one of the vacant seats and put his bag down in front of him. Harry sat right next to him, placing his own bag on the ground. Only a minute later the plane started to go towards the ground. Outside the sky was filled with clouds which rain was falling from. Then they landed with a slight bounce before it started to head to where they would disembark from the plane.
