Warning: unbeta'd
Severus gathered an armful of ilex aquifolium and added it to his collection bag. Holly might be a classic symbol of the season, but it was also a very useful ingredient in several potions. He smirked to himself, it was also quite effective as a poison, of course. Not necessarily a deadly one, though it could be, but it was certainly useful when you wanted to make someone rather miserable for awhile.
Not that making anyone miserable was his aim at the moment, rather the reverse actually. In small doses, Holly berries were excellent for stimulating the nervous system. By mixing them with other soothing and fortifying ingredients, he was able to create the perfect potion to help Remus recover from the effects of his transformation.
Feeling pleased that he’d been able to gather what he needed so quickly, he turned and headed back to his lab. Full moon was in two days, and he needed to start brewing.
