Lovage 1/2 cup diced Fairy Ears 1 tbsp finely ground Ginger 1/2 tsp petrified and cracked Toadstools 2 Bay Leaves 2tbsp Goblin Oil 3 Rose Petals 1 1/2 cups juiced Acrobat Beetle Target's Personal Item (hair)

Boil 1 bottle of gnome wax for about 7 1/2 minutes in a silver cauldron until it's reduced by half. Add the ashwinder eggs, fluxweed, and garlic first then stir in lovage, fairy ears, ginger, toadstools, bay leaves, and brew overnight. At least 12 hours. The next day, allow the cauldron to return to room temperature. Keep the toadstools and strain the fluxweed out through fine muslin, reserving the ashwinder eggs, lovage, and gnome wax separately. Heat 2 tablespoons of goblin oil. Add the toadstools back in to the potion with 3 rose petals and brew over low heat for about 12 minutes or until blue sparks are seen on the edges of the cauldron. Transfer the cauldron to a steam bath. Tergeo any excess oil from the top of the potion. Add 1/2 cup of acrobat beetle juice to it and bring to a boil. Boil until reduced and syrupy. Add another cup of acrobat beetle juice, bring it to a boil, scraping away any crust that forms along the edges and reduces the sparking. Cover the cauldron with a wet sheet of parchment paper and then a tight fitting lid. Brew on a medium heat for 4 hours 37 minutes, until the sparks subside and the potion has a pearl-like sheen to its surface. Discard the paper and using Wingardium Leviosa, transfer the target's personal item (hair, bit of clothing, etc.) to the cauldron. It should be noted that the target's personal item should never be touched by anyone but the target. A burst of smoke should appear the moment the target's personal item is completely submerged and continue to slowly rise in a spiral manner. Serve as a draught, or use in baking or other confectionaries; further heat, cooking or addition to items which are altered here out will not disrupt the potion. Best served in wine.

Beautifying Potion

Ingredient

Brewing Instructions

5 Tubeworms, scraped 20 Beetle eyes, desiccated 7 Runespoor eggs, warmed 1 drained Crocodile heart, finely chopped up to 5 drops Re'em blood (controls potency) 1/2 pint Belladonna essence 17 Belladonna leaves 10 diced Valerian roots (harvested during the flowering period.

Add the tubeworms to a pewter cauldron on a very low heat and stir for 1 and 1/2 hours or until liquified. Add the beetle eyes and stir for another 5 minutes. Place the Runespoor Eggs in a different cauldron to warm. Keep stirring the main cauldron for another 2 hours. Add the Crocodile Heart to your main cauldron, and your desired dosage of Re'em blood to the Runspoor Eggs. Let the eggs soak in the blood while stirring your main cauldron for an additional 40 minutes. Then leave it to stew for 3 hours. Transfer the ingredients from the second cauldron into the main cauldron, and stir for 20 minutes. Your potion should become a deep shade of red. Add the Belladonna essence and leaves together with the chopped Valerian Roo and stir for 1 hour. Leave to stew for a full day. Your resulting mixture should be a pastel pink colour.

TEMPORARY CHARACTERS - A big thank you to Bran (Vito Brando ) for this addition to the site. 

We are now permitting members to create temporary characters - this means that they have expiry dates and only meant for short term plots. There is a shorter application process for these characters and they will be sorted into the new member group called "Temp Characters" see Malachi  as an example of a temporary character. For more information please check out the Temporary Character Application and the Temp Character tab in The Rule Handbook.

MARAUDERS ERA AU RP - It has come to our attention that a number of members have an interest in the Marauders Era and struggled to find a decent site they were willing to join to fulfill this desire. After a successful trial in the IC Discord, the admins have agreed to set up a Sub-Board for a Marauders Era RP on Inside New Hogwarts. Please review ALL information in the Marauders Era AU RP Board before creating your Marauders AU character. Marauders Characters will be sorted separately, see @zailey , for the example, and are only permitted to post within the Marauders board. While we're very excited about this addition to the site, we certainly hope it does not take away from the main site plots and activity.

INH is allowing members to create Temporary Characters. A temporary character is a character created with a specific purpose in mind and who comes with an expiry date and must complete their goal within a specific time frame. Once they have reached their expiry date, the character is to be deleted. Credits to Bran for the idea.

Members are only permitted 1 temporary character at a time. Please view all rules on temporary characters in The Rules Handbook under the Temp Characters tab.

Please post and fill out the code in this thread and wait for an admin to accept your temporary character.
