The teeth thing was weird though.
"Potions can't.... uhm.... hehe... I dunno, Professor C. You got me STUMPED. Maybe they can't be conjured.....?" she .... guessed?
They couldn't be conjured? What? "Now you got me stumped, Zahra," the man answered, "we can't conjure them, yes... but what can't they do?" Quote:

Originally Posted by feeheeheeny "Using a potion can't make ya rich." Well? It was true. "Not directly, at least. But if you created the potion, s'pose y'could make money that way." Like THEY WOULD DO SOME DAY. And she supposed a potion that enhanced one's self-confidence could indirectly result in becoming rich, too, perhaps, but... she left it at that, grinning away. Cosgrach grinned right back as if it was a secret joke between them while what she said appeared on the blackboard. "You're right, money is our world's limit as a whole." Quote:

Originally Posted by Eriin "Well a potion can't ACTUALLY make someone fall in love. It only makes one think they are, until the affects wear off." "Exactly." Cosgrach smiled at the future potioneer. He got this! Quote:
Originally Posted by TakemetotheBurrow "M'not sure a potion can make you love, Professor. I mean ACTUALLY love. S'more of a infatuation when you take a love potion, right? Like an obsession. Maybe you become a stalker but s'probably not REAL love." And no, she wasn't sure SHE even bought into such things. "M'PRETTY sure my brother had a crazy girlfriend once who said she LOVED him but she was a big creeper. Maybe SHE took a love potion." She'd considered that, truly. "Sorry to hear about your brother. Girls tend to be so, I know." Oh, he knew. As for her answer... "but you've observed her well. You're right about love." Quote:
Originally Posted by FearlessLeader19 "They can't make us act mature, Professor,'' the Puffer said pushing up his hand. Cosgrach frowned, thinking. "No, well, it depends on your definition of 'mature', but I'm sure with a healthy combination, this can be achieved." Good try, though? Quote:
Originally Posted by PhoenixStar "They can't make you smell nice." C'monnnn, didn't she know any perfume? "But they can! That was one of the things that set us apart from muggles in the Middle Age." How they didn't bathe and smelt but wizards smelt all well? Yeah? Quote:
Originally Posted by Govoni "They can't bring someone back from the dead." Leave it to the Ravenclaws to get the correct answers! "Precisely." He smiled at the boy with much approval. This one had enough wits to be great, he did. Quote:
Originally Posted by Holmesian Feline "Potions can't create anything." "Right, Ben." The count stood at 4 Ravenclaws, 1 Gryffindor that gave the answers he'd wanted. He smiled at the boy. Hopefully he felt better? Quote:
Originally Posted by Felixir "They can't, like... be your friend." ............... Heh. "But they might be able to help you make friends." Liiiiiike if you bonded over potions, or there was some sort of Confidence Draught, or whatever. "But yeah, they're not sentient... at least not in the same way humans are. I mean, I think. Who knows, really. But yeah... they can't be your friend." Not for want of trying, of course. Cosgrach chuckled. "They can't, right." These Huffies and their friendly nature. Made his day... usually.

Originally Posted by Cassirin "Apparently potions can't be soup. Sir." She raised first one eyebrow and then the other at the wolf-man. ...soup? WHat was up with soups and Dot today? Did she just... BARED her teeth? Uhhh... "That's... right. Yes. They can't be soup." Okayyyy.
So.
"Five of you were right on target," he said while the blackboard updated itself fully, "and we covered everything. These are potions' limits."

"Let's move onto safety and such, then. What are the safety guidelines we should follow? Please list only one thing, thank you."
Now, this would be interesting.
