Chapter Five; The Potion

Peter followed Stacey inside and down into the basement along with Sarah and Jeannie. "Wow, I didn't know that you had so many cats." Peter said as he was suddenly surrounded by a dozen different meowing felines. "Yeah, I'm sorry I hope that you like cats. As long as you don't hurt or bother them they won't bother you though. They're actually really rather friendly." She told him while she started walking over to her cauldron as Peter squatted down and stroked a black one on the back.

"Eh, they're not my favorite. I prefer dogs, but they're okay." He told her.

"I really like cats." Jeannie began. "I wouldn't mind having one around but I'm not sure what Spot and Cassie would think of them." She said while Stacey started removing a tiny vile out of her pocket and untwisted the lid before she poured it inside of the cauldron. It was the vile that contained the unicorn milk. Then she added the toad's warts and afterwards she added the dragonflies.

"Uh oh, I forgot about one very important ingredient." Stacey began. "The blood of the enemy." She finished

"Well, even though we are still friends technically I am a genie. You could always use my blood since we're supposed to be enemies." Jeannie suggested.

"Oh no Jeannie I couldn't do that to you." Stacey told her.

"That's alright, I understand. The potion will not work if I don't help you out and then Peter will never be able to get his assignment done." She said. "Now since I can't use my power, I need you to give me a needle." She told her before Stacey took a deep breath and sighed heavily.

"Are you sure that you want to do this?" she asked her as Jeannie nodded.

"Yes because I know that you would do the same for me." She told her.

"Very well then." Stacey began before she waved her hand a needle appeared inside of it. "Here you go Jeannie." She told her before she handed it over to her along with another empty vile. Jeannie opened the bottle before pricking her finger with the needle and allowing her blood to run inside of it. Then she twisted the lid back up and handed it back to Stacey.

"There are band aids in the bathroom cupboard. Make sure to wash your finger really well with soap and water to clean up the wound before you wrap it up in the bandage." She told her before she turned around and walked away. Meanwhile Stacey unscrewed the lid of the vile and gently poured Jeannie's blood into the cauldron before she started stirring it up with a wooden spoon.

"Dragonflies and warts of toad, mix in well bubble loads. Unicorn's milk and enemy's blood, let thy potion and magic spell be done." She said as the cauldron turned into a steamy green bubbling slimy substance.

"What a mess." Peter began. "What is that stuff anyway?" he asked her.

"It is a very powerful forgetfulness potion." She replied. "Do not, I repeat, do not take more than one drop of it at a time." She told him before she carefully screwed the lid back on and then handed it over to him.

"Thanks Stacey!" Peter exclaimed as Jeannie walked back out of the bathroom. "I never thought that I would say this but I can't wait for Monday to come. I'm probably going to be the best in my class. A guaranteed A for sure!" he cried before he tucked it carefully inside his pocket and then hurried back upstairs.
