Of course, of course, one of the first people to enter was Lux.

The man smiled at her. "Hello, Lux!" He would ask how she was, but another guy entered, so he turned his eyes at him.

A new face, this was. Cosgrach watched the boy examining the classroom curiously. Yes, he tried his best to make here feel less like a dungeon. Maybe he ought to ask Annie about a relocation again...

Wait, charming student from Charms School?

...okayyyyy... "Err, nice to meet you, charmer," he said and skipped his own introduction since he would do that once the class started, and decided that... this boy was weird. Why was he uneasy, even? He didn't even know Cosgrach (who might look scary, okay). The man eyed him, and wanted to ask what made him uneasy, but the moment passed and... the boy sat at the back row.

Typical.

Another transfer, and from the other side of the world too! Wow, Cosgrach had so much respect for the adventurous type (he bet Jackson didn't want to leave Seoul and his friends, that it was his family's decision, really but shhh) and he tried to mimick the bow (because Asians liked to be bowed too, right? Right).

"Yes, I'm Professor Culloden," he said, relieved to see that THIS transfer wasn't so uneasy like the previous one. "Welcome to Hogwarts and potions class." He even smiled at the boy.

He wasn't so scary, after all.

Cosgrach always felt great when his favourite old students showed up, and Zeke was no exception. He smiled widely at the boy, kind of returning his grin back, and said "Welcome, Zeke." Never mind it that potions class was mandatory for him, the man still felt good about it because Zeke was more accomplished than his peers.

Another good student. Yay.

Cosgrach smiled at Brooklyn back. "Good morning," he said and noted how people usually sat at where they began in their very first lesson. Made his job easy too, both with names and who was good at this lesson.

Another familiar face... should he be proud with the turnout? Did that mean people liked his class?

"Good morning," he greeted her and smiled.

His silent question was answered by Ethan promptly - that it was nice to be back in his class. This made the man smile at Ethan - who he indeed was glad to see again.

"And it's nice to see you continue," he said, noting the swagger too. Hehehe. The joy of being young and invincible.

Cosgrach was glad to see Janelle back, as well even though she had to take this class. She was bright just like Jasmine, so this meant they were a genetically talented family (because 'ability to brew good potions' was certainly a gene, yep).

"Good morning," he greeted cheerfully back and checked his watch...

Was it him, or were there more Slytherins this term? Good. He smiled after only a moment later at her, and said "Hello, Cilla." Of course Lux was friends with her... as she was with everybody.

This... was a face he didn't recognise, so excuse his weird and more examining than necessary looks. He said "Good morning Miss," though, in the end, and watched her sit by... Yo-something boy, confirming that she was a new student.

Why were they all sitting together? Did the Hogwarts students rejected these three among them? They... wouldn't do that, would they? Maybe... he should talk to Airey about it, since two of them were Gryffindor and also because talking to Airey was far easier than talking to Cece.

It was to block out the horrendous odor.
Cosgrach's mind was busy with trying to decide IF he should talk to Airey, so he didn't see the mask, but he DID see that someone sneaked in.

Well, wasn't she rude for not even looking at him?

He didn't call her out, because that was plain rude, but he wished she'd at least greeted him.

She stooped quickly to pick it up and instead of straightening up just crawled to the nearest empty seat.
Ahhhhhh, Norah. After another set of completely unfamiliar faces, it was good to find an old student entering again, and he smiled at her back.

"Good morning, Norah!" he said, waited for her to say something if she wanted to, and when she turned, he almost turned his head away too. But the motion caught his attention, and he couldn't help but LAUGH - silently at first, but it turned LOUD quickly as she CRAWLED.

This girl! She was either a lunatic or a genius. Either case, he would tolerate her mistakes more than a boring student's.

Cosgrach missed that Zhenya was washing her hands (see: Norah's funny crawling), but he did hear her and turned her while the aftermath of a good laugh was still on his face.

"Yes, it was great!" he exclaimed at her, looking possibly too cheerful, but Zhenya would be like him had she seen Norah just a few seconds ago.

Echo, another Slytherin. Good. They hopefully could get that Cup this term.

"Hello," he said back, "yes, thank you." And hopefully, the day WOULD go well with their contribution.

Cosgrach smiled at him. A face to watch closely, for sure.

"Good morning," he said back, but couldn't look at him any longer as another person walked in...

Oh, one of the twins came. This one was easy, because she was in a different house.

"Hi Abby," he said and - why had she just produced water - oh, okay. There was a tap, but okay. He would take cleanliness in any form it came.

HEHEHE.

"Hello." Cosgrach still couldn't decide how good he was at potions, so the man just hoped he would do all right today.

Ahhhhh, no class without Adi, of course!

"Hey!" he greeted back with a smile, and then a million questions happened. The man laughed briefly.

"This potion is a hard one, yes," he said, "and I might have another good one." Actually... they still needed to discuss that one. Ah.

"As for my summer, it was wonderful!" He guessed Lux didn't gush over Helena with her other friends, but it was okay. He didn't want to yell that he had a daughter to the whole class, though, so he didn't say why it was wonderful. And before he could ask Adi how HIS summer had been, another person entered... so end of conversation, for now.

Well, Cosgrach could understand it when little people didn't greet him verbally, so he smiled back at the girl in a friendly way. It was okay, he didn't bite people if they made a mistake (although... they sometimes wished he bit them).

"Good morning." Y'know, trying to be caring.

"Hello!" he said back and smiled, because then you got the skipping type of people which meant they were happy, which meant she was HAPPY in POTIONS class. She even sat in the front row.

:')

Now that AJ was here, Cosgrach couldn't help but wonder where Benny and Angel were. They were a couple too, if he remembered right, and... did this mean... they were skipping the class... together?

They'd better not.

He wouldn't embarrass AJ by asking that, though, so instead he smiled at her after a moment and said "Good morning." Who were the - ah, Zander and Puck... who were also missing.

Well.

Cosgrach was too busy trying to tell himself that Benny wasn't that sort of boy to notice this boy's sulking, so he smiled back at him. "Good morning," he greeted back, and looked at who was entering next.

If 'no one' was the Professor, right: he was still too busy greeting the people to notice anything else...

Cosgrach smiled and waved at him, and was pleased to see him wash his hands. Not only that, but the boy was also surprised by the chairs and looked pretty content. HEHEHE. They were Cosgrach's greatest achievements, really. Everyone liked them so far.

Cosgrach smiled at Emmylou back. He still remembered those delicious brownies she had brought him, and hoped she would bake again AND bring him some.

HFŞAKŞDS HIS BABYYYY the man BEAMED back then. "Thank you!" he exclaimed, "isn't she beautiful?" Ewww, actually, no. She was still too young to even resemble a human, but to him, she was the world's prettiest baby. So, of course to everyone else she was, too.

Ugh, when had he become so disgusting?

To be honest, Cosgrach was relieved to see Angel. Benny was still missing, but at least he wasn't missing with his girlfriend. So he smiled at Angel possibly too widely. Benny was probably sick or something, and he was certainly the innocent, hardworking boy this man knew.

"Good morning Angel," he said, "it was very pleasant, thank you." He had a baby. It couldn't be any better.

Since when did older students ignored him, hmm?

Cosgrach shook his head a little to himself, but didn't say anything. If she didn't want to greet him, he wouldn't greet her either.

Ah, Cinna was here -

'Cossy'... his smile vanished.

"I'm fine," he said dryly, and looked at the next person. No, he was 'Professor Culloden' at school, thank you very much.

And here, Kace acknowledged him only after kissing his girlfriend.

Cosgrach shrugged it off. He was probably being too sensitive. Instead, he said "Yes, thank you." And Kace had to be VERY well, judging by how she kissed his girlfriend (yes, professors read Aparecium too), so he didn't return the question.

Cosgrach smiled at Gabe in that mutual respectful way. The boy was a prodigy for sure, and possibly going to be a 'genius'.

"Hey, Gabe," he greeted him back. Responsible people also took some pressure off his shoulders, especially when they stepped in a tough situation (like a potion gone wrong). Did Gabe know how much he was appreciated? Cosgrach hoped so.

And another responsible boy who made life very easy for Cosgrach.

He allowed himself to grin at Grayson, mainly because Grayson probably liked grinning. "Good to see ya," he said and was pleased to see he sat somewhere close to the front. Meant he wanted no distractions. Good.

Another new face... an eager one, although Cosgrach was awful at reading faces.

"Nice to meet you, Benzi," he said, smiled back politely and didn't bother to introduce himself - he ought to know anyway, and he was going to do that when the class started.

Cosgrach smiled at waved back at this firstie. Hello. Hopefully she'd like his class.

Cosgrach smiled at the young man whose name he couldn't remember, but it was okay. Hopefully he wouldn't need to call him.

"Good morning," he greeted him.

If Cosgrach was asked to show a person as the definition of 'polite', it would be Toby; so when the boy didn't greet him, Cosgrach wasn't really offended unlike how he had been with other students. It simply meant Toby was too distracted with something else, and Cosgrach could respect that.

Cosgrach vaguely remembered her face, so he smiled at her. "Good morning," he said, and didn't examine her further. If only he could remember her name...

Yes, Cosgrach did notice her absence, but since she still had time, didn't really worried about it. Although... now that she entered and looked at the classroom, her seat was obviously taken and his face fell a litt - wait, WHERE was she going? To the BACK?

And she was smiling about it? Didn't she know that the BEST students sat in the FRONT? That back was for... not very good students? WHAT was she planning?

Cosgrach was relieved to see Beverly, to be honest. It was almost time to start, and he would be very sad if she'd dropped potions. She was among the TOP students, after all. So he smiled at her widely. "Good morning, Beverly." He hoped she was well?

Cosgrach smiled back at Cordelia.

"It was really lovely, thank you," he said, and would have asked about HER summer, but they had to start and he bet she wasn't really expecting him to ask anyway, so...


...he got up and closed the door to indicate they were starting.

"Good morning again," he said and smiled as he stood in the middle of the front of the classroom, "for those who don't know me, my name is Cosgrach Culloden. New students can write their names on their desks for me to know them.

"Today, we're going to learn a rather interesting type of potions,"
he said as he started to slowly walk in the aisles and tried to make eye contact with some of them, "This type of potions have a base that can be stored for a long time, and changes its effect according to what you add after creating that base." Wasn't that EXCITING? It meant that the potion could do ANYTHING. Well, in its limits, of course. "What we are going to learn from that type," a short pause here and a geniune show of modesty, "is my own invention. It's a half-dark potion and you should use it responsibly. I'm going to teach how to get someone out of its effect," he said, then paused to build the suspenssssssse, "it changes emotions. It can make you completely sad even though you were crying tears of joy only a moment ago." This was why it was dangerous. "But only that - changing your emotions. With this in mind, can anyone guess why it's considered 'half-dark'?

"And, another question before we begin: Can you give an example of someting that can be consumed that induces an emotion? For example, tea of Melissa is used to calm people down."


OOC: The class has begun, so please do not post your characters late!

Only ONE example per person, please!

We'll continue 18-19 hours later.
