Ingredients had to be added in the exact order and amounts specified, and the potion needed to be stirred seven times, both clockwise and counter-clockwise.
The directions for making the potion were very detailed. Adding too much of the ingredients, for instance, would put the drinker of the potion into a deep - and possibly irreversible - sleep. It was ironically a difficult potion to make, requiring that the brewer followed the directions carefully, because making a mistake could have drastic consequences. Poppy Pomfrey later administered this potion to several fifth-year students suffering from anxiety and panic over the Ordinary Wizarding Levels. However, Professor Snape singled out Harry Potter, giving him alone a zero grade for the day's work by emptying out his cauldron for simply missing out the syrup of hellebore due to misreading the instructions. A lot of students did poorly, including Seamus Finnigan, Gregory Goyle, Neville Longbottom, and Ron Weasley. This was the first potion that Severus Snape assigned to fifth year students in 1995. Penny Haywood brewed this potion in the 1988–1989 school year with Jacob's sibling.
