Pfft. Of course they were important...to a point. Lafay must have been beaten by someone who looked better than her if she thought that way but of course Josh was not going to voice that idea because first he did not want any detention and secondly and most importantly he liked Lafay enough to not to argue with her. Hehehe. So be it then. He only grinned and nodded at the woman before listening to what she was saying next.

De-aging potion? Listening to others to learn what this potion did the Gryffindor boy smirked as a great idea occured to him. What if Lafay tried some of that potion? Bahahahahaha!

Leaning in he looked at Simon and Viky and with a mischievous smile appearing on his face he whispered. ''Guys! Think hard and quick. We need to find a way to make her drink it once its done!''

As Viky sunk further into her chair, looking at him almost bewildered, Simon tried his best to give her a reassuring smile before turning to his best friend as he heard his whisper.

"Are you trying to get her bad attention? " he whispered back trying to look innoscent. There was no way he was going to trick Lafay in her own classroom.

Well... she supposed they could put in something? Like, her morning pumpkin juice? 'We could slip it in her drink, at breakfast?' she whispered back, sliding even further down in her seat. She did SOOO not want Lafay to hear this. Nu-uh. She liked her face how it was, thanks. No burns.

Hmmm. Any other ways to do this? She racked her brains, thinking long and hard about possible methods. More cake? No. she would find that suspicious. Into the cauldron at the front? But there was no reason for her to drink from that, and it was probably de-ageing solution anyway. Pfft.
"Quit whispering or I'll take points!" She said to the Lions... Cake or no, there was no talking in class. "If you have something to say on this subject, say it out loud. If not, Shut it."

SPOILER!!: replies

Alice found the whole concept to be incredible, if this were in fact what the potion did. But perhaps it was something simpler like a really good anti-aging cream that muggles always wanted to buy.

"A-a d-d-deaging p-p-potion m-m-makes th-the drink-drinker a-a-appear y-y-young-younger p-p-physic-physically." He stuttered out, wondering if the professor would pick on him for his stutter as he lowered his hand quickly and began to scribble out notes in his notebook.

And then paled slightly when she told them what they'd be making.

Somehow, Raiden had never thought he'd be getting de-aged twice while at Hogwarts. Once had been quite enough; the incident in his fifth year, with Neptune, had been rather horrific, to say the least.

"It... you shrink." Well, you did. "Your body goes backwards and you revert to a previous age... depending on certain factors, it may or may not mess with your mental capacity, too."

He'd had a few five-year-old tendencies when it had happened, but had mostly retained his 16 year old thought processes. Except when it came to pain, and Lina's cat ears.

Yeah. Raiden didn't want to be five again. For the third time. The prefect's wall of stoicism broke, and he scrunched his nose. The only good thing was that this time, he'd see the de-aging coming...

She couldn't help her stutter, she was just too nervous.

De-aging... his eyes wide in horror, he didn't even want to think about the effects of that.

But no.

Evelyn had decided to stare at her and not the Professor! Jeeez. Talk about making someone uncomfortable.

Ignore. Destiny ignored the staring, but she did shift uncomfortably in her seat.

And it was a good thing she did ignore Evelyn. If Destiny had turned her head, Lafay would have missed her staring..but that could have been a good thing. Eeeep! "Sorry, Professor. It can wait until after class." Personal stuff and all that jazz.

Unless, of course, Lafay didn't mind the whole class hearing?

Oh no! They weren't going to..make a de-aging potion were they? If they did, all the students were going to have to drink it, right? This lesson was going to be lovely. "It makes you..de-age."

Obviously.

Evelyn could totally tell that Destiny was becoming uncomfortable. If it wasn't the shifting in her seat, then it would have been the fact that her friend was obviously ignoring her. And Evelyn KNEW she hadn't done anything in the past few days to have caused her friend to give her the cold shoulder.

At least...she didn't think she did.

Did she?

...

Hearing her last name being said, her previous last name, Evelyn blinked a few times and wiped the smirk off of her face before getting out her notebook and quill to start taking notes.

She was starting to really hate mornings..

Completely missing the fact that pretty much everyone already answered, Evelyn wrote down what the potion was at the top of her page before answering herself as well. "It de-ages your body. Makes you younger, though you pretty much keep your mind at the age you really are...sorta..."

Funny little potion.

...OMG! They weren't going to be de-aging themselves were they!? Ugh, she didn't want to DE-AGED! She wanted to AGE so she could be seventeen already. Pfffft.

That was embarrassing, but Jack looked at her in horror anyway, and shook his head vigorously. Really, really NOT aimed towards her.

Anyway, back to the class. "An de-ageing potion is what stops a person from getting any older..." No, that wasn't right. So, Jack stuck his hand up again. "... makes a person get younger." Whoopsie.

Oh hellll to the no.

Biting her lip, Sarah looked across at Raiden, images of him as a five year old filling her head. He had been so cute up in the Hospital Wing two years previously, but no way did she want to turn back time. She did answer the question, though. After much gulping. Hand in the air.

"It physically reduces the age of a person. But not the mentality, I don't think..." Unless that was a bad batch Raiden accidently had his from.

"Why hello, Professor Lafay. I hope your lesson goes well today." He smirked and then continued with an answer to her question. "In my humble opinion, a de-aging potion should reverse the physical 'wear and tear' so to speak that comes along with the drinker's aging. It might remove the wrinkles and bags and sags on a woman's face, for example."

He raised an eyebrow ever so slightly at that last bit. Hadn't he and Sadie discussed this very topic and Lafay's need for such a potion or a cream not so long ago? Heh.

"Professor, the potion would revert the physical state of the drinker, back into the shape of a predetermined age. The potion would have to rewind the growth and death of the body's cells that are the aged building blocks of life."

Patroclus had an inkly that Lafay would not like him using sciency type words, but hey it was would have to happen.

They were going to brew something then, weren't they? He let out a silent sigh. Suddenly, he wanted to leave the class. He didn't want any other potion fall, after all. But he was also very well aware that he'd already set foot in the class, now he couldn't just leave. Yay. Maybe he should have a sudden stomach ache... yeah, that sounded nice.

Finally deciding to answer it, although everyone else had done, he raised his hand to say "It makes someone look younger." Eh, obvious from the name.. much?

OOC: I'm sorry to hear about your computer

She could always hope. The group work was still questionable to her, though, as before now she was used to brewing potions on her own. And she didn't like messing up. But apparently she was going to have to deal with whatever would happen. And her excitement level raised a bit more as they were told what they'd be working on. Listening to everyone's responses, she raised her own hand. "Well, it seems the potion is going to just make us look younger. But it could just as easily make us act younger. I mean, we know there's potions out there that influence how we act." Like the Scintillation Solution from last lesson. Or Elixir to Induce Euphoria, which she was still working to try and perfect on her own. It was possible even the Babbling Beverage she'd used last term could count in her argument. But everyone else seemed like they believed it wasn't possible. So she just wanted to make the point, even if it was way off. Either way, she thought this lesson was going to be awesome.


"I see you either all have studied, or you know the meaning of de-ageing." She said and rolled her eyes. "This particular formula is one that will take you down in age phisically, but as I hate having to care for toddlers, it does not have the ingredients to regress your age mentally, and make you act like a toddler."

She tapped her desk and a second, smaller cauldron appeared. "I'm going to tell you the base of this potion, as it isn't water. It's goat's milk. It's the closest animal milk to mother's milk. Can anyone tell me what the other ingredients may be and why?" She said and stood in front of her desk.

ooc: One ingredient per answer please.
