Making someone fall in love with you... making someone hate you and even a draught of living dead." Angel wanted to learn that one day but she wasn't going to ask today plus she doubted they'd be allowed to learn it. "Only emotions?" he asked, tilting his head to one side, "there are many more things potions are used for." But it was good try. Quote:

But they all DID things. "I meant in the literal sense. Are you sure they are only liquids to be drunk?" Cosgrach smiled pleasantly at the boy. Quote:

Originally Posted by SpiritWolfe Malfoy "Normally a potion would be a liquid that is used to either help or harm someone depending on the intent of the maker." That was right wasn't it? Quote:
Originally Posted by kayquilz Potions. Right. This was...an odd angle, eh? She raised her hand slowly and sighed. "Potions are liquid things that are magical and..they can do something." Yep. That was Eden's great answer. Quote:

Originally Posted by Squishy The first question was easy, and Lux immediately raised her hand to answer. "A potion is a magical liquid that is brewed usually in a cauldron and used to create a certain effect on the drinker." That was the most basic way to describe it that she could think of. Quote:
Originally Posted by Govoni "A potion is a.....uh, liquid with healing, magical, or erm, poisonous properties......verbatim." Dictionary definition. There. That wasn't........so hard. BREATHE. BREATHE OUT THE STRESS. Cosgrach looked and smiled all of them pleasantly. "It is not always a liquid," he said once everyone was done, "there are pastes too." But they were correct, so he nodded in the end. Quote:
Originally Posted by DuckyLinJi "A potion is....magical..liquid...stuff...yeah" ......... Cosgrach raised his eyebrows at the boy expectantly... he couldn't even define the thing he wanted to do in the future? Cosgrach didn't know what to make of that, except feeling disappointment.
He'd better pay attention. Quote:

To influence things or cause reactions or fix them.” Quote:

Originally Posted by Edward Penguin [spoiler=Cosgrach]When it was his turn, Ian answered, It's a combination of ingredients with different properties that produce a reaction, hopefully the desired reaction. It's very similar to work in chemistry amongst muggles, sir. Quote:
Originally Posted by Felixir "A potion is something with magical effects that you brew, by adding things to a cauldron and heating it or cooling it and stirring it in very very specific ways." Quote:
Originally Posted by Eriin " Professor, a potion is a collection of ingredients brewed according to specific order and direction. The finished product could have either a positive or negative effect on the drinker depending on the nature of the ingredients and their effect." BAM. He sounded like such a smarty pants in his own mind. Hehe. Cosgrach nodded at everyone of them, and waved his wand while they spoke to update the board. A piece from every answer was added. These were the best answers so far. Quote:
Originally Posted by aramshacklebolt As to the professors question, raising his hand Cyprien said "A potion is a mixture that is usually brewed in a cauldron and can have any number of effects on the person drinking the potion." "That's true, but I wish you hadn't read it right out loud from the book." He hoped the boy would try to offer his own opinion, next time.
He got up and walked to the front of the class to look at the blackboard.

-A mixture
-Brewed with different ingredients "Most of you said it's liquid, while some opted to leave that vague. It's not only in liquid form. They can also be a paste." He paused. "Now, these are the properties some of you mentioned." He gestured at the blackboard. "To make it a sentence..." He waved his wand again, and there appeared a phrase underneath:

"That's the most thorough definition, I'd say." Did they want to copy it down? He paused briefly again before asking the next question.
"What are the types of potions?"
