The death eaters are coming...
Harry Potter must be protected at all costs...
How? Well, we all have to take a dose of polyjuice potion - disguise ourselves. They'll never know who the real one is.
But be warned, the task will be dangerous. Only the most competent potion brewers will be succesful.
1. You must complete the series of tasks to succesfully brew your polyjuice potion. 2. The top 10 highest scoring potions that are completed will receive a prize! 3. If 10 potions are not completed, any remaining prizes will be raffled off amongst all the participants. 4. You earn a ticket for each step you complete, so the further you go the better your chances of winning! 5. These count as your event freebies! You may only win (1) prize in this game. 6. You may proxy for one person, in addition to playing for yourself. In each post, state if it is counting for yourself or your proxy. 7. Do not delete your posts! This will lead to an instant disqualification. If you make a mistake, just void and repost/re-roll <3

Part 1
1. Add 3 measures of fluxweed to the cauldron (must have been picked on a full moon).
Randomise a number from 1-3.
If you roll a 1:
You take your time, making sure to do it just right... You succesfully add 1 measure of fluxweed. +5 points
If you roll a 2:
Must get to it! Some speed, but also some caution. Some of the pieces aren't so perfect, but that's okay... You succesfully add 2 measures of fluxweed. +5 points
If you roll a 3:
Alright! Chop chop! Lots to do. You roughly throw all the fluxweed in at once. You succesfully add 3 measures of fluxweed. +3 points
If you have not yet added all 3 measures of fluxweed, roll again from 1 to the number of measures you have left. Repeat until you have added all 3 measures. The points are cumulative (+15 if you add them one at a time every time, but only +3 if you throw them all in from the get-go!).
2. Add 2 bundles of knotgrass to the cauldron.
Randomise a number from 1-3.
If you roll a 1:
Your bundles are a little on the lighter side! +5 points
If you roll a 2:
Your bundles are perfect! +10 points
If you roll a 3:
Your bundles are a bit heavy, they somewhat overwhelm the potion. +4 points
3. Stir 4 times, clockwise.
You can either make four posts, 'stirring' once per post, or make one post in which you stir four times at once! +3 points per post.
You do not need to do anything else in your post other than state that you are stirring your potion.
4. Wave your wand then let potion brew for 80 minutes.
We have to find some way to pass the time! Find me a picture of the time passing. +5 points

2. Add 2 scoops of lacewing flies to the mortar, crush to a fine paste, then add 2 measures of the crushed lacewings to the cauldron.
Randomise a number from 1-100.
If you roll:
1-10: Wow, you barely got any lacewing flies at all. +0 points 11-20: I mean.. there's flies... did you bother to measure it right? +2 points 21-30: Your paste is a bit thin... +4 points 31-40: Still a bit light... but getting there. +6 points 41-60: Perfect! Two exact measures. +20 points 61-70: Your hand slips, adding in a few too many. Whoops. +10 points 71-80: Did you do heaped scoops? They weren't meant to be heaped! +5 points 81-90: That's... a lot of lacewing flies. Do you know how to use the scoop? +0 points 91-100: WHAT? You added ALL the lacewing flies? Those things are expensive you know! -15 points

If you roll a 3:
Alright! Chop chop! Lots to do. You roughly throw all the boomslang skin in at once. You succesfully add 3 measures of boomslang skin. +3 points
If you have not yet added all 3 measures of boomslang skin, roll again from 1 to the number of measures you have left. Repeat until you have added all 3 measures. The points are cumulative (+15 if you add them one at a time every time, but only +3 if you throw them all in from the get-go!).

Not 5! +1 point 21-30: I'm not sure that's bicorn horn... maybe tricorn? -10 points 31-40: Your power is a bit rough but... acceptable. +6 points 41-50: You spilled most of it on the floor. Oops. +3 points 51-60: Your bicorn horn has gone off... awkward. -4 points 61-70: You really enjoy crushing, eh? Good job. Nice and smooth. +10 points 71-80: Bicorn.. so two! Two scoops!
