Potions Club: Activity 5: Riddles - Part 2

[silveredaccents.livejournal.com]

Riddles Part Two!

Below the cut are 11 riddles. The answer to each riddle is a potion. If there is more than one acceptable answer (true for at least one of the riddles), you only need to figure out one. You get 2 points for each successful answer, up to a total of 10 points. You do not get points for answering your own riddle. Beyond that, you get bragging rights. ;-)

Oh yeah *^^*;; Activity ends Monday March 30 at 9pm MDT.



1)
At times we all feel down and dreary
Sometimes our muscles ache, we're weary
So brew a mite of this and see
That now you'll have great energy.
But best to keep it when you're done
Do not pass it to anyone
As rumor claims The Chosen One
Had all his hardest work undone
When his teacher dropped it.



2)
My first and second are found in AROMA, which you will smell for sure
My third is in LOVE and not simply in LIKE
You will never find my fourth in HATE but you shall in ADORE
My whole has been used in chocolate to spike
and make a person keen
strongly recognisable by a mother-of-pearl sheen


3)
If you drink me, you should know
That you'll be a canary
Though I was properly yellow
There is a trick however
Include in me the flavor of holiday cane
To tame me down and prevent
Red noses and irritable fellows.


4)
I thrive on use of special blood, and pass its strength to you. But I need lots of time to stew, so wait a day or two. What potion am I?


5)
I am clear, of that you can be sure.
I like to prove my worth; you'll discover all you want, and more.
No pain or suffering to I bring to skin,
it is in the mind that I will win.


6)
you'll find me when you are looking
but unable to see
you'll reach for me
and your hand will freeze
you'll be unable to move
but that's what I'm for
to reanimate the fossils
that could move before

I'm made of children who scream and bite
but I am an antidote for the silent
or anything really that is cursed and
isn't right
I'm the number one for originality
and in me you'll find the cure
to turn you back into
what you were before.


7)
Someone made this in sixth year,
for "something amusing",
his pass was mere,
but without this you won't stop ________ing.



8)
Making Swelling Solution?
Then keep this nearby.
You will need this potion
If things go awry.


9)
When looking for ingredients to put to use,
try salamander blood, and some pomegranate juice.
Just mix some things up and in days you'll agree,
that you'll be much buffer than you used to be!


10)
To retrieve what you lost, there is no cost.
The one which is silent, blue, and speckled is key,
So remember to find one before it gives its history.
However uncertain it seems, feathers are what one needs.


11)
Blackcurrant and lilac and blue-colored gas,
Yet the final affair is transparent as glass.
The central ingredients can be found in these clues;
Can you guess the name of this curious brew?

The first was once known to fill Hades' plains,
A token of death, often planted by graves.
The next's a bitter bringer of waking dreams,
Found in moon gardens of a huntress supreme.

The third one brings rest to those in need,
And is known to intoxicate the feline breed.
The last needs finesse to prepare the right way,
A final soporific for this drowsy display.

Ow, my eyes. Pretty please for the smaller fonting? Or just regular fonting?

[silveredaccents.livejournal.com]

*hangs head in shame* thank you!!! This is what I get for the one time I don't preview the post LOL

Also, comments are screened now, so double thanks!

[dependonyou.livejournal.com]

No problem. We all make mistakes. I know I've screwed up formatting on more than one occassion with my posts. No need to hang your head. ^_~

Hah, I hadn't even noticed that. Guess it's a good thing I came along after all. XD I was just about to delete/edit my comment to say thanks for resizing, and to apologize for respondong so quickly when you were probably working on fixing it as I typed, when I saw your response. ^^; Glad I could help.

[silveredaccents.livejournal.com]

OH yeah. I just feel bad LOL

Yes! Very good thing! Always good when you have comments screened before answers are given LOL

On an unrelated note, how have you been?

[dependonyou.livejournal.com]

::laughs:: Well don't.

I've had my fair share of ups and downs since we last spoke, but who hasn't? Right now I'd say I'm doing rather well, all things considered. How have you guys been?

And... maybe this sounds odd, but would you mind terribly if we made a fresh attempt at things, and attempted to settle our differences/get to know one another again? Perhaps take another stab at the whole friendship thing? ^_^

[silveredaccents.livejournal.com]

*nods* I'd like that. I've changed so much since we knew each other, a fresh start won't be too hard. (obviously as when we knew each other I was vehemently denying the Slytherin LOL)

Anyways, yes, that would be fine. More than fine. ;-)
