That was the most serious question. Because, Ellie wasn't about to finish a potion that was going to be used against her. She didn't think she'd fancy being 3... "No" she said. "The counter potion is for accidents." She said coldly. Quote:

HOOOOOYA!
Willie was getting more entertained by the second. He had forgotten about being suffocated by the robes, and immersed himself into punching and kicking the chair that was attacking him. Ah, it felt like he was back in juvie again.
Especially when water was doused on him.
"PLAAAH." He heaved, his hands on the desk, eyes wide and staring ahead. "Whaaa' was tha' fuuur?!" Willie asked the professor, who clearly did not look pleased at him. He was SUFFOCATING! That's the LONGEST word he knew, and he knew how to use it properly!
Being soaked in water had its pluses. One second he was still, the next he was standing up shaking his body like a tango dancer in action. He shook his body, his hips, his head to the... Well, to no rhythm. If there was only a rhythm.
Once he stopped, he wiggled his arms. "Prefessah, can I eliten ya wit' sumthin?" before she answered, he continued, "I ain't ya mastah. Bein' called a mastah is fer them elves... I mean, ye may look like one, no offense prefessah really. I mean, me meself, I look like a... I ain't 'ave a clue. But ter make me point, I'd rathah be called Mistah Crockah, or... Crockah. Jus' not mastah, alright prefessah?" "Look, Crocker," thankfully you needed a translator to fully understand the boy, and she did not catch that he's called her a house elf. "Let ME enlighten YOU. The correct form of addressing a young boy is 'Master.' You know what... Nevermind. Get back to your potion." She said shaking her head. Quote:

Kurumi decided to give squeezing the leeches a try - maybe it would appease the potions mistress that there was student who was taking a vested interest? For everyone's sake, Kurumi hoped so. Not being nearly as brave as Professor Lafay, Kurumi took one of the leeches with her hands still wearing dragon hide gloves. She copied the scary professor's movements and placed the leech on a cloth and rolled over it with a small rolling pin. There was a loud pop and then a squish as all the juices came out of the icky creature. "S-s-s-sorry," she whispered to the now flat leech. She wondered if it had been alive before she had rolled over it...
She then rung out her towel into a beaker and put the leech juices into the caludron before adding the pomegranate juice. Immediately, fluffy and swirly steam began coming out of her cauldron. Could she hear a child's laughter coming from her cauldron? Now that was really creepy... "Don't be sorry, you are doing fine." She said. Quote:

Sidney looks around at her fellow students. Obviously, some of these students have a death wish. By this point Sidney would let her potion blow up before she said another word. She looks over at her potion to make sure it was still in the cauldron.
Sidney is now so lost; she has no idea what to do next. She consults her notes. It's a good thing I take such complete notes, or I'd be up a creek without a battle right now. Let see... What do I do next. I've cut the knotgrass, so I need to put it to one side. Sidney moves her cutting board with the knotgrass on it to one side. She finds her dragonhide gloves and puts them on. Next step is to put the Shrivelfigs in. I've got to put ten of them in. Good thing they're small. I should be able to squeeze about three at a time. Sidney picks up about three figs and starts squeezing them. Those suckers are hard and take considerable muscle to squeeze. Then she sees what Professor Lafay meant by them sticking to her gloves. Sidney grabs the knotgrass and scraps the excess figs into her cauldron. She continues with the figs until all of them are now in the cauldron. Sidney goes to the the sinks in the back of the classroom and cleans her gloves. She removes them at her desk and gets back to her potion. Next step is to add the leech juice. After fighting with those figs, I think I'll pass on squeezing the leech juice. Sidney gets a bottle of juice trying very hard not to disturb Professor Lafay. She adds a drop of leech juice followed by five drops of Pomegranate Juice. Sidney smiles when she sees the purple steam rise from her cauldron. All is well for the moment at least. Was she serious? Had she not been in this class? Nevermind. Continue with this class... she thought to herself. Quote:

The woman needed to drink some tea - maybe have a relaxing facial... or something. She glared at the girl. She took 100 points from Slytherin for disrespect, she wasn't above taking the same from gryffindor. Quote:

.....Good Grief! Its StuffingPuff!
Salander couldnt help but look at the lad trying to wrestle with his own robes. Eh, so long as thats where his hands will be kept busy instead of anywhere in his pants. he mused as he continued to follow the Potions Mistress instructions. The door was wide open, but unfortunately he'd have to walk by the StuffingPuff to get out. So yeah, Salander is staying right where he was. He'd rather bear the fire-breathing Professor than risk TOUCHING the Puff. Because Myrtle knows where he's been!
He took a shrivelfig and started to squeeze one into the mixture, squirting a bit here and there. He continued with the rest of the nine shrivelfigs as well.... SQUUUEEEEZZZEE
Heh, he enjoyed that.
And now for the leech juice....
It would be sooo easy to just grab a dropper and pick up some ready made leech juice, but Salander thought squeezing a raw one out would be more fun. He strode over to the jar behind the Professor and fished out a leech, and wrapped it in a scourgified cheesecloth. He returned to their table, and given that he didnt have a rolling pin, started to pound it the cheesecloth with his fist. WHAM! *peek* WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!
There, freshly made leech juice! with all its vitamins and minerals intact!
He squeezed the cheesecloth into a scourgified beaker to collect the leech juice, then added a drop into his mixture.
He started to look for some Pomengranite fruit and realized that there was only the ready made juice. Awww, no more fun squeezing. He added the 5 drops into his cauldron and watched the purple steam rise. Heh, pretty. Like Mia. She smiled at the boy as he smashed the leech. Typical boy. Quote:

Alice was still curious on when they were going to add the knotgrass or if she missed them adding it. Deciding that since her potion looked alright, she picked up her pen and wrote down the next two steps in her notebook. SPOILER!!: Where you were supposed to add the Knotgrass Quote:
Originally Posted by Droo The students seemed even more distracted. Their potions would suffer. She took a breath to try to be less irritated, summoned the shrivelfigs and said. "Lay the knotgrass to the side, so the juices from the cutting come to the surface. We aren't adding them yet. The next ingredient. Shrivelfigs are messy, so dawn your gloves," she said putting her gloves on. "Squish them in your hands and try and get as much into the cauldron and off your gloves as you can." She said as she demonstrated. "After you are done with the figs, take the knotgrass and run it gently over your gloves. This will, one, help get the excess fig off and two, coat the knotgrass so it won't wilt too quickly in the potion." She then took off her gloves and cleaned them. ooc: Sorry, my fault, I guess I assumed you'd all READ MY MIND and knew that after running the knotgrass on your gloves you were supposed to drop it in the potion, cause it wasn't going to wilt too quickly. Sorry.
The color wasn't right. "You forgot the knotgrass, Miss Page." She said, "Thank you, now I can show how to fix this." and she took some more goat's milk. "Soak the knotgrass in the cold goat's milk for 2 minutes and then you can add it before the next step." She said and then addressed the class. "There aren't many potions or many ingredients that you can fix after the time to add them... this is one of the few. The knotgrass is coated, we aren't that far into the potion, and the cold goat's milk will help re-process everything." She turned to the girl and said "Do that and then the next step."
She summoned the next ingredient and placed it in her clean mortar. "Crush the bicorn horn, withdraw a tbs and add place it in a spoon. Come to me with the spoon and I will drop a phoenix tear on it, then go back to your cauldron and stir them in 15 times clockwise." She said and demonstrated.
