[[OOC: Not meant to be responded too… just the back story on Felix’s silver blood that I’ll bring up in a thread or two. Might be slightly boring, sorry!]]
BIC:
A vampire cannot touch silver. It’s like sulfuric acid. If it touches them, it burns, so naturally if it was driven through their heart, it would do a little more then burn. Felix wasn’t interested in burning vampires though, he was interesting in making himself uneatable. It was quite simple really, infuse his blood with silver. Now, infusing your blood with something is actually quite easy with magic… a few spells here and there… but Felix didn’t want to just have silver in his blood, he wanted silver all over. He was going to make silver water, which would provide his beverage for the next week or two.
It seems something quite out of the ordinary, silver water, but silver infused water is a common holistic muggle remedy, used for fighting colds and virus’, they simply run current through silver wire in water giving it microscopic particles of silver. It’s a very crude inefficient method, and it only takes silver particles, and not turning the silver into water. Which is why Felix was standing in an abandoned dungeon room with a cauldron about four feet in diameter with a collection of ingredients.
The whole potion was a mixture between a couple potions, Felix was going to write it down but doing from his head was easier. He filled the cauldron with water and started a fire to start the water boiling. Then, he sliced up and added some random ingredients that made no sense what so ever but were apparently necessary. Crushed bloodstone? Powdered coral? Rosemary? Carrots? Burdock Root? And of course a ridiculous amount of stirring in every direction invented.
Soon the mixture was the correct blue color, that Felix dropped in two large pure silver coins from his pocket. Then taking out a miniature glass vial, small enough only to hold one or two drops, Felix uncapped it and let a single drop of the shining liquid fall from the lip of the vial. As soon as the white drop hit the surface of the potion, it immediately covered the cauldron with a think sheet of crystal.
The liquid was essence of crystal. Very expensive and very powerful. Felix had gotten a ton of scholarships for writing in wizarding scientific magazines so he had access to even the rarest of school supplies. Putting a metal barrier around the fire, Felix threw in a single chunk of dragons dung into the flames before sealing it off with only a small gap for air. The dung could turn any regular fire into some capable of melting anything, in this case pure silver coins. The water inside the crystal ‘cave’ quickly all became vapor, trapped inside, and soon it seemed to disappear altogether. Looking in through the transparent cover, Felix saw the two shining coins melting as they were suspected by the steam in mid air. The silver themselves seemed to become vapor until Felix looked like he was looking into a blank cauldron.
Satisfied, Felix dozed the dragon dung ashes and removed the barrier, shooting some water on the fire and waited for the steam to turn back into water with a glacio spell. As soon as that was accomplished, Felix tapped his wand upon the tranquil surface and shrunk the crystal plate down to the size of his palm. With medal tongs the Prefect removed it from the crystal clear water and dropped it in his robe pocket. The contents of the cauldron looked simply just like water. Putting a clear drop of tasteless essence to preserve the potion, Felix decanted it into a liter flask he had with him, then banished the rest of the ‘silver water’ into nothingness to recall later when his flask ran out. Carefully testing the flask… it tasted simply like pure water. Testing it with his wand, it was streaming with silver with blood related properties. He had done it! Taking a few more swigs of it, Felix added some carbon bubbles and some flavoring to his flask, might as well make the water taste good… what better way to make your blood streaming with silver then free soda?
Returning the cauldron and all his supplies, Felix left the dark basement exactly as he found it. A week of drinking that stuff and a vampire wouldn’t touch him with a ten-foot stick. Felix could only hope the vampires didn’t have eleven-foot sticks.
