Text Cut: A few people

Everyone was doing well, or so it seemed, and Cosgrach walked up to the blackboard once again. Time to move on!

"Add the hippogriff feathers one by one," he said, "and get ready for a hard step - I hope you are listening carefully and DO it carefully - because if you mess this step up, you might as well vanish the potion and start over again." It was one of those IRREVERSIBLE steps, see? They had to pay attention.

"Okay. Count to ten and stir the potion counter clockwise once. Count to twenty and stir it clockwise once. Count to thirty and stir counter clockwise once again. Is it clear? Use a wooden stirrer, and don't forget to clean it before using - but you don't have to clean it every time. Once, thoroughly, at the beginning is enough and necessary." Got it?

Good.

He leaned on his desk to have a better view of everyone and to vanish any potions that went wrong after updating the blackboard.

OOC: I will post again approximately 20 hours later, so you can catch up if you must. It can be in one big post or in several posts.

"And like you never made a mistake, Sir" He said the sir in a mocking way. Finding the right horn, the second year grabbed it. "I need to concentrate" in other words, get away. See Bentley? He COULD use nice words. Cosgrach couldn't have been happier. No, actually, he could - if he'd vanished a cauldron of Kevin's potion, but still - the kid almost made a mistake, and HE caught him. So he watched every movement and expression closely, and then smirked even more dirtily. *"I've never said I was perfect,"* he said, "and your mistake has nothing to do with me. Do that. Concentrate. Or else, it'll be a whole cauldron vanishing." HA!

Is there a counter…potion for this?” he asked as he pointed at his cauldron. “I mean, it is prohibited in courts and such, but for good measure…is there a potion that can be given to an individual to make sure that such potion won’t work prior to testifying?” Think…sneaky people slipping in a drop of two of this evil genius when people aren't looking. Surely, they must cover all the bases, you know. Oh, Ethan. Another brilliant student, and a great question. *"This one doesn't - I mean, it does* have a counter, but it isn't normal procedure to give it before trials, as the symptoms of this potion are obvious." So, it was given only if the subject showed such symptoms. Quote: Originally Posted by PhoenixStar "Pssst, Angel."

"You remember how to clean your equipment from last time right?" Not waiting for a response she went ahead and walked her through it. "Use scourgify and concentrate." She wouldn't be able to accomplish anything if she was freaking out. "Go on." Cosgrach didn't say anything to the girl, but he subtly nodded - a twin, helping her twin. How touching. Quote: Originally Posted by littledhampir She raised her hand tentatively. "Professor, do you have any matches?" You know, to light a fire without magic. "Or could you tell me the incantation and wand movement to do it by magic?" And this time she would write it down for sure. But not practice it, because that would probably be dangerous. Hayden looked around at the other people using the spell, maybe one of them could even help her. Cosgrach nodded at the girl pleasantly - she looked like the sweet type that could follow basic suggestions. ... But of course, she didn't know how to light a fire as well. Normally, everyone would have helped her, as he suspected they did it for extra credit, and he didn't understand why no one heard her this time. In any case, he was next to her again and drew his wand to show her. "The incantation is 'Incendio'," he said and repeated it slowly for her to fully understand it. "And wand movement is, you draw a flame with your wand." He showed with his wand slowly again, but didn't say the word not to produce fire himself. That was her job, after all. "Go on, try it." He was there to help if it went wrong. Quote: Originally Posted by Anna Banana Sophie was still focused on her cauldron as she began heating it at medium heat. Uhh...purified water? She'd need to go collect that. She could produce water, but...how did she purify it? Her hand shot into the air, and a split second later, she glanced up to see the professor standing right next to her. Whoa. "You're really quick today, aren't you?"** she asked, lowering her hand. Gave her the potion... "Gave?" she asked. "I thought you were just teasing me." She looked down at the vial. It was really hers? To keep and use as she saw fit? This was AMAZING! However... She eyed the professor as he explained his reasons. Seriously? Somebody was just giving her power just like THAT? "Thank you...," she said, her voice sort of trailing off as she tried to process everything. "I'll be sure to use it wisely," she added, with a smile. Her mind was already racing with possibilities, but she had to pass this class first. "Professor? How do we purify water we conjure?" she asked. "I know how to produce it, but purify it?" She'd collect the water afterwards. Cosgrach didn't understand the quick part, but it didn't matter, as she was confused about the potion he'd given her. Hehe. "Why would I tease you?" he asked seriously - she was a good student, and he didn't mess with that type. "I'm sure you will." That was why he wa giving it to HER and not someone like Kevin, see? Yeah. "Oh, the same spell, different intent: you think of purified water coming outta your wand." Because 'water' generally meant drinking water, so that was the intent, hence the result, see? Everyone was doing well, or so it seemed, and Cosgrach walked up to the blackboard once again. Time to move on!
