Cosgrach listened to Derry, Beverly and the boy. You know what? He wasn't a justice man, he wasn't going to kill himself to discover the truth. And he wasn't wasting any truth serum for someone like this boy. Nay, he drew his wand, pointed it at Beverly's hair to clean it, and turned to the boy.
"Pick that snake fang up," he said threateningly calmly as he pointed at the fang by Beverly, "and wait for me outside, please. I haven't decided yet, and if you are correct, after all," he snorted - he clearly doubted that, "you will get your chance to finish the potion. I don't want to hear any whining. Now if you don't mind, I'll deal with responsible people." He eyed them all, and walked away to the blackboard.
"CLASS!" His voice was on edge, but he tried to contain his anger, "put the fire out, add the other snake fang and stir once counter clockwise. You should have been able to see all the contents inside your potion up until now, but once you carry out these two steps, it will thicken and turn bright yellow. Then we drink it." He eyed the boy to see if he was out yet. He also waved at the blackboard to add the new and last two steps.

8. Stir counter clockwise once "Now, the potion will last for 12-14 hours. You will feel it's leaving you, so that it gives you a chance to stop doing whatever you are to save your life." He looked into a few eyes, and he looked calmer.
"Drink a cup, and one cup only. To have a longer effect, drink another cup when its effect is gone, instead of drinking more. If you drink more than enough, you will be dizzy. Too dizzy." So dizzy they wouldn't be able to stand. Clear? Clear. Good.
"After drinking, sit down for a few minutes for your body to adjust. Then, once you feel fresh, you can go around being super strong. You will have a perfect sense and control of your strength, so don't worry while handling things."
He smiled again. "There are different types of strength potions, and this one is the strongest. You don't have to add the heart and the Re'em blood, but then the effect will be reduced to one tenth. You have to brew slightly differently then, which will show up on the blackboard soon." He paused and thought if he forgot to mention something...
"Oh. One last thing. Or two." Two, yes. "To conserve it for a week, which you should do for homework, take a cup to drink now and add a cube of ice into the cauldron. After a week, I'm afraid it will lose the effect quickly." Shrug. "And most importantly perhaps, drink in one go, while still hot.
"That's all for now. Go finish your potions and put aside a cup. Don't drink yours, but drink from someone else's cup, and either wrist-wrestle with a friend, or try to break a record in this muggle toy I'll bring in a moment."
He walked inside the small store room again and magically moved a High Striker inside the class. He put it in front of the blackboard, and grinned at them.
"It's really easy! You'll try to ring the bell at the top, here," he touched with his finger to show them, "by hitting the lever here hard enough. You'll get two chances with this toy. The ones that hits the lever will get a treat. Also, those who beat their friends at wrist wrestling." He grinned at them again. "Don't worry. The High Striker's enchanted, so it won't break.
"Are there any questions?" Quote:

- Do not drink more for longer duration, but rather drink another cup after you feel it’s wearing off. If you drink more than a cup, it will make you feel too dizzy to stand straight.
- To conserve for a week after brewing, add a cup of ice from pure water
- The colour is bright yellow
- For the first few minutes after drinking, sit and let your body and muscles adjust to it. Once you feel fresh, go around being super strong, and don't worry: you can control it.
- You can omit the heart part by adding a glass of water, counting to 18 and adding pomegranate. You can also not mix Re’em blood at all and add another pomegranate instead, but this will reduce the effect to one tenth.
OOC: To get full credit from this activity, you must post twice. The deadline is Friday 19.00 GMT/14.00 EST.
You don't have to keep track of who drank from who's cup, so as not to drink from that person's potion: That part is purely IC and won't affect your points if no one drinks your cup.  There is one thing that Cosgrach didn't mention, however - that how well the griffin claw was crushed determines the strength that potion will give. So, rate how well your character crushed the claw on a scale of 1-10, but don't say it until someone asks to drink your potion. Then, PM/IM that person for others not to see it to keep it fair.  During the activity, though, the bigger number doesn't automatically win: Please also consider your character's normal body AND mental strength, as those DO come into play as well. During posting for the activity, please add the rating of that potion in the title part so that your friend and I can see how strong that potion is.
So what am I trying to say? I'll grade this part by how realistic and creative you are playing. Now, have fun with super strength!
