"Two handfuls of dried newt tails." Lily's voice drifted through the dark.
There was a scattering sound.
"Twelve small pinches of ground unicorn hair.
Silence.
"James! Did you put it in???"
"Yes, yes, relax! And don't suddenly snap like that!" James gabbled.
"Ah...is little Jamesie fwightened of the dark???"
"Shut up. Let's get on with it. My fingers are frozen!"
"It was your idea on the first place! This Power-up Potion or whatever you called it."
"Well, I didn't read the ingredients list properly, and so I didn't realise that I would be spending three months worth of savings buying the stuff we need!"
"Seven and a half purple mahogany woodlice."
James sighed as he picked up the woodlice. He hadn't expected Lily to actually take his proposal to make the potion seriously.
After about an hour of adding ingredients, checking, weighing and rechecking, James was getting irritable.
"Are we done yet?"
"Nearly. Just one more ingredient to go. Fifteen sixteenths of a forty two centimetre bar of Honeydukes original milk chocolate."
A plop.
"Now, get out your wand. Hold my hand."
James grinned at the prospect of holding Lily's hand.
As if reading his mind, Lily said "And don't you go thinking that just because I have started going out with you, that I am madly in love with you. Or that I actually WANT to hold your hand."
"Aww, come on Lily. You know you like me." said James.
"Yes, well, you're likeable enough." Lily said blushing. "Lucky it's dark," Thought Lily, "If he saw me blushing, he'd know that I really do like him."
"Anyway", said Lily, regaining her composure, "Tap the side of the cauldron three times. Then, Tap my wand three times. If we've done it right, we should hear a gentle bumping sound, a soft breeze, and the ground should tremble slightly. Then, silver light will shine all around us, and it will be done." Lily laughed. "Just don't you go being all disappointed if it doesn't work."
Tap, tap, tap. Tap, tap, tap.
"Good," Lily whispered, "Now we wait."
Nothing could be heard, except Lily and James's shallow breathing.
All of a sudden, there was an enormous boom, like a series of cannons going off. A wild wind whipped up, causing bottles flying around the room, and nearly knocking Lily and James off their feet. The ground began to shake so violently the Lily was thrown of her feet, only to be caught smartly by James. But then floods of bright, rainbow light dazzled their eyes, and James promptly dropped her. After the cannon booms had died, the winds ceased, the ground stopped shaking and the light died, darkness enveloped the stunned pair again.After a long silence, James's voice came floating through the air."Shit."

Well, did you like it? If not, I will delete it. If you do like it, I'll continue. But if you don't send me a review, I'll never know!
