You select the choice that says “Wormwood”. The magical barrier flickers out of existence and you can see a plant with leaves between two and eight inches and that you know has wood-like roots. Your wormwood is on the small side with a height of one metre, but you expect that with proper care it will grow to reach its max height of two metres.
You remember that wormwood, as well as being an ingredient of the Draught of Living Death, is also used in potions to help with digestive disorders and treat fevers, gall bladder and lover disease. The properties of this plant include the ability to induce sweating, stimulate the imagination, increase hunger, settle the stomach and act as a counter-irritant. Furthermore, the wormwood leaves and flowers can be placed on the skin for dulling the pain of wounds such as insect bites.
You then follow your exploration and stop in front of the next magical barrier. The riddle reads:
“A muggle plant we are, yet both muggles and wizards use us for anti-depressant purposes.”
If you answer “Lily Plants”, go to Chapter 139.
If you answer “St. John’s wort”, go to Chapter 138.
