Potions Instructions

Here, in this thread, you will find the instructions to each potion we make, so that I won't have to write them up every single time there's a new class learning the same potion. Yeah! So, this is where you need to go to find the instructions and ingredients, so you won't have to look it up on pottermore or the harry potter wiki

Except for some rare occasions…
