It felt good to be back at school, life at home was just not what it used to be since mother passed. He had planned to remain at the school for the holidays but decided to return home at the last minute. He didn't want to be completely away from family over the holidays and there was the hope maybe his father would be around this time instead of hiding at his office or wherever he went instead of being home taking care of his children.

With a new term started and the OWL exams all the more closer, Henry was glad to focus his entire attention on getting the best grades he could. Though he wasn't sure exactly what he wanted as a career he definitely wanted to have the grades to ensure he had as many options as possible.

Henry had read a bit about the Everlasting Elixir in his text book and knew it wasn't an easy potion to make. Then again nearly all the potions they took so far this year were complicated. He didn't mind the challenge, in fact he looked forward to it.

At the order to begin, Henry took a moment to scan over the ingredient list before heading to the supply cupboard to get what he needed. As usual there was a fair amount of odd ingredients which had to be cut, smashed, ground or otherwise broken up into pieces before adding them to the potion. He took his time preparing the ingredients so they were as prefect as he could get them before he added them into his cauldron. He waves his wand over it once as per the instructions then gave it a stir before waiting the required time before moving onto the next step.
