Potions

~Option Two~

Memory Potion

​

In today’s lesson, we will be taking a look at the Memory Potion! The Memory Potion, like the name implies, is a potion that helps a person improve their memory. It can be very useful in a lot of situations, including helping a victim of an attack remember details that can help catch their attacker, or to help a person suffering from memory loss or a disease that affects the memory to remember important things to them, like names of loved ones and places that hold the best memories for them. Unfortunately, we do not know how to brew this potion. We do, however, know some of the ingredients used in this potion. Those ingredients are: Jobberknoll Feathers, Stewed Mandrake, Powdered Sage, Galanthus Nivalis, ​Alihotsy, Peppermint, and Eel Eyes.​ Galanthus Nivalis is a plant that may be better known as Common Snowdrop. Muggles use it in medicines to treat Alzheimer’s, which suggests that this plant may be the central ingredient of the potion. Isn’t it fascinating how muggles and wizards alike can end up using the same plants for the same purposes without working together to reach their conclusions? Now, enough of my speculations, it’s time for you to get to work on your assignment!
