I was on the WTM message boards and came across a short post about doing a Hogwarts Owl Post summer correspondence course, which looked like something Dodo would flip over, so I ripped off the idea and tried it out.
On Friday night a mysterious knocking sound was heard from outside her bedroom window, upon further investigation a scroll bearing the Hogwarts crest was revealed. She opened it and learned she had been chosen to participate in a Summer Owl Post Program for underage witches and wizards who were living in the muggle world. She was very excited. A list of courses was included, and she selected Muggle Potions 101, and the next morning another scroll arrived with her first assignment, "EFFERVESSENCE". She had to look up the word and write the definition in her journal and then make her first potion as outlined, copying her steps and supplies into her journal. (Butterbeer (soda)+ Salinius Muggalugus (muggle salt), say the magic word perfectly= "effervessence") She wrote almost a whole page outlining her results, and drew and labelled before and after diagrams. She was very careful, and the usual problems I have with sloppy handwriting and rushed spelling dissapeared because she was worried Professor McGonnagal (temporarily filling in until a new potions master is found) would fail her. (Should be Snape, you say? Ah but then you must not have read...)
Just an idea,
EH
