Brewing a Potion

A week before September 1, You can find two boys in the Potter Manor brewing something.

"So James, remind me again why are we brewing a de-aging potion?" Albus asked his brother.

"For the 16th times Al, we are going to prank someone."

James said rather irritated.

"Who are we going to prank?" Albus asked.

"No idea," James said absentmindedly.

"What! You are going to prank someone but you had no idea who?" Albus asked incredulously.

"Keep your voice down Al and yeah that's the plan," James said as he stirred the potion counter clockwise

"So why do you want to use this kind of potion to someone?" Albus asked curiously.

"Oh, I want to see someone like mom or dad became a kid," James said.

"Won't they be mad at us if we do that?" Albus asked.

"Umm…yeah but they'll not remember everything, it would be part of their memory at that age and they'll have no memory of the years onward their age." James said

"How did you now all of this?" Albus asked

"Because it says so in the book," James said

"What do you mean by no memory of the years onward their age?" Albus asked

"Oh that, umm…for example someone drank this potion, they became 12 years old. They'll not remember what happened in their lives from thirteen years old onwards," James said.

"So where did you find this kind of potion?" Albus asked

"In the restricted section," James said as he added powdered moonstone.

"May I ask, why are you in the restricted section?" Albus asked grinning.

"Umm…hungry, went to the kitchen. Filch saw me but only my back…umm…forgot invisibility cloak. Knock down the whole suits of armor while running, umm…"James said before Albus interrupted, "You're the one who knocked down the armor in second floor?"

"Yeah." James said proudly

"You're the one who woke up the whole castle. No one knew who did it," Albus said admiringly.

"And that's not all," James said completely forgetting about the potion he's making as he went on telling about his adventures that night, "I ran into Peeves who shouted that a student is out off bed and he began throwing paint not only in my direction but in the whole corridor. Then Filch came along with Mrs. Norris, They were splattered by paint and they completely forgotten about me. He started shouting at Peeves then McGonagall came and she told him off, 'you're waking the whole castle so stop if you must and that goes for you too Peeves'

I ran and ran until I reached the Library and hid into the restricted section. I got bored waiting for the shouting to subside. I found an old book and opened it then found the de-aging potion."

"So you nicked it?" Albus asked

"Hell Yeah!" James said grinning.

"And Madam Pince did not noticed it gone?" Albus asked in awe.

"Umm… maybe, I dunno. I returned it after I copied the potion the next day but after that she kept looking at me suspiciously." James said.

"Wow!" Albus exclaimed then noticed the potion started flowing out of the cauldron said hurriedly, "James! The potion."

"Wha-" James said before stirring, putting some ingredients swiftly.

After 5 minutes the potion stabilized.

"I think that's it. The potion's done. It's ready!" James said excitedly

"So who' will you try it?" Albus asked.

" I already told you, I don't know who and besides it would be a surprise to us wouldn't it?" James said as he put the potion into a vial and throw the remainder into the sink."

They both fix everything in silence to make it looked like before they made the potion.

"It's time to plan our prank." James said as he brought out a parchment, quill and ink.
