Thank you Stefan

As you walk into the Potions classroom for your lesson, you won't see your Professor.

Where is he?

In his place is his rat-baby, Madame Curie. You can say hello to her, but you can't touch her. Art takes no responsibility for her using self-defense.

Welcome to your first OOC Lesson! IC this is half way through the year, so the students would have all met Art by now.

Please familiarise yourself with the guidelines.

Art's lessons usually begin with students walking into the lab, retrieving their white lab coats from hooks along the side of the wall (which you all wrote your name on during the first lesson of the term), and setting up their work space for the lesson. You can chat amongst yourselves, but nothing too full on.

I will post in about 12 hours.

Was it hot in here? It felt way too hot in the dungeon classroom. Weren't dungeons supposed to be drafty, and it was winter...

Two measures of Standard Ingredients. Right. Things were getting progressively worse. Not only was the room still spinning, but now she was spinning too, counter to the direction the room was spinning. At least that's how it felt. Even her euphoric brain had stopped trying to convince her that this was fun. Now it was all: I want off this ride! You and Haddie both brain. You and Haddie both.

Okay, two measures of bezoar. Haddie shakily added another haphazard measure of bezoar. Wait... no. She did the bezoar already... Two measures of standard ingredients. If Haddie didn't sit down right now she was going to faint. She knew this, her brain knew this. Her stubbornness demanded she keep going. One measure of standard ingredients was tossed into the cauldron, before she could add the second everything shifted, pitching suddenly under her feet.

Haddie wasn't sure if it was her perception or if she was really falling, but the moment her hand hit the table, bracing her and steadying her, the world steadied with her. It was only for a moment though. Her hand, clammy from the effects of the poison and her efforts to keep going, slipped off the desk's edge and everything pitched under her again. For some reason, Haddie's euphoric brain though this was hilarious. The delirious Californian girl giggled as she sway a little too far and started going down.

“Scourgify” she cast cleaning anything that could have been on the cauldron off of it.

Wait was she sweating now?

Who cared if she looked like a drowned sewer rat.

Not her.

At the desk she proceeded to clean her stirrers, knives, and every single item that could possibly touch the cauldron….then she had an idea. Maybe a brilliant one. “Accio medical mask” she muttered to herself and yeah sure she was technically sneaking it from the hospital wing but it was better than coughing things on her cauldron right? Attaching it to her face she left the second pair she had snagged on the worktable for Madge? It was Madge right? With her mortar and pestle freshly cleaned she began to crush her Bezoar stone into a fine powder.

Crushchruuuuushcrushchruuushing and there. It was Powdery. Adding four pinches of the bezoar powder into her cauldron before adding the two measures of what had been called “standard ingredient” to the cauldron…what exactly was standard ingredient?

"I need to breathe" she muttered as she pointed her wand at her cauldron and very weakly spoke "aquamenti" the water didnt pour out it trickled. Like a broken faucet. "no more water wand mooooore water" she hissed at it and waited until it was filled with the proper two cups.

Turning her burner to medium to waited...one...two...three...four...five there. Now she just had to wait for five minutes before moving on...and she was back to staring at the bunny-person.

Madge sat down on a stool near the table at which Mel was now brewing the potion, and seemingly unchanged from her own brew. At first she felt fine... then not so fine.

Her vision blurred in and out, and her head started to pound. At least she wasn't hallucinating, that she knew of anyway.

"uuuuurgh..." she let out as her stomach began to burble. "Oh please don't puke... come on Madge-i-o please don't pukeeee!"

The professor wouldn't let anything happen to us but you can't leave"

Elliot made sure Jay was propped against the chair and the table (to keep him from flopping onto the floor like grindylow out of water ok!) before heading up to the professor's desk to take his own small sample of not-poison. "Well bottom's up!" Elliot downed the small bit of poison and made a face. Did no one else taste this?

Ohhhhhhh it was gross IT WAS GROSS!

The small Slytherin kicked his legs rather weakly when Elliot poured the antidote potion into his mouth, whining and swallowing as he wrinkled his nose. It did not taste good and it did nothing to make him less aware that something was very wrong in the whole entire world. Everything around him still looked strange, and everyone around him was starting to look like they were funhouse mirror reflections.

Was he gonna die?! Nobody was gonna let him really die, right?!

He clung onto Elliot when the other boy pulled him up, still blinking rather rapidly; his stomach gave an angry twist, and he curled up on his seat when the tall boy pushed him back onto it. This was the worst, and he still had to go.

He barely noticed when Elliot left. He was too focused on how hot the work station felt against his forehead, which was now pressed against it as he whined to himself. Nothing was happening... why wasn't the stuff making him better? Did Elliot mess it up?! Surely he hadn't... he had seemed so confident about it! Jaemin squeezed his eyes shut and held onto the wobbling, shaking, absolutely moving way too much please stop that tabletop. He just had to wait a little more, right? And then it would work?

Because there was no way he was gonna be able to brew a potion like this.

Mel was feeling shaky, her hand was shaking as she stood there and looked nervously over to Madge. “Iwontlet—any-any—anyfing…thing happen to you” she stammered over the words as her tongue felt a drying sponge. Grabbing a measuring cup she pointed her wand in it “scourgify” she cast before casting a water spell again and drinking the water down. When it was empty she cleaned it again and filled it before pushing the cup toward Madge.

“water?” she simply pointed as she reached into her potion kit and dropped what may have been a pinch of unicorn hairs into the mixture. “Scourgify” she muttered cleaning her stirrer before lowering it into the concoction and beginning to stir the solution clockwise.

“One…” she muttered, “two” she felt a bit feeble as she stirred and looked up at the board for more directions. “we can do this guys” she whispered to the people around her. They were going to get past this poisoning debacle.

Madge was very greatful for Mel handing her the water, she grabbed the cup from her, raised it to her lips and took a sip. Then...

"Blurrrrgahhhhsrghhhh" Madge grabbed her half empty Cauldron and puked into the remainder of the potion she had brewed for Mel. She had forgotten to pottle the rest.

"Pr-Professor? I forgot to bottle my antidote... and I...BLURGAHHSHHERGH...." She vomited again into her cauldron.

THAT SMELLED SO GROSS! Mel made a face and paled as she stood there and looked at Madge. “Ew…the smell” Mel gulped before looking down at the notes she had taken in the library….”evanesce” Mel cast on the contents in Madge’s potion. “You can have mine when I finish” she muttered…”or make more with me now?” She was trying to help.

But at least the smell was gone. “Scourgify” she cast on the speck of vomit that had gotten onto the table and then she went around again cleaning off all of her tools. Everything had to be clean. Even her hands were clean.

No she was not a germfreak…okay maybe she was but it wasn’t that big of a deal now was it? It was vomit no one wanted to drink vomit potions now did they?...well unless they were eating a skiving snackbox for reasons. Obviously.

“Okay…I can do this” she muttered as she carefully pulled two of her mistletoe berries from her jar and added them into the cauldron before capping the jar once more.

Add 1 pinch of Unicorn Horns to your cauldron
Stir 2 times, clockwise
Add 2 Mistletoe Berries to your cauldron

Leave to sit for at least 2 minutes before using

ZZZZZzzzzzZzzzz

How long had it been, were the 2 minutes gone? Elsa checked the clock on the wall and nearly 20 minutes had passed. She felt panic jolt up her spine. MERLIN MERLIN MERLIN WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!! Her brain shouted at her.

She quickly added a pinch of Unicorn Horns, stirred it 2 times counter clockwise - or was it clockwise? - added Mistletoe Berries and stirred it again.

Sweat kept pouring from her pores like rainfalls and she could hardly see what was happening at that moment. Was it supposed to boil that much? Uh-oh...

"Jace, are you ok??" She waved her fingers in what she hopped was his direction but at that moment she couldn't see him.

Elliot wrinkled his nose flopping back down into his seat. Why was he starting to sweat? Had the professor heated up the classroom somehow. He gently pulled his collar, swaying in his seat a bit as he stared at Jay. The smaller boy needed to start brewing or...or he'd be stuck like this. He tried to say something but his speech was slurred. What exactly had he ingested!?!?

"Thanks..." Madge mumbled to Mel when her Cauldron was cleaned for her. A tear ran down her face and she pulled herself down so she was sitting on the floor hugging her knees. She was NOT happy. She was in a strange school, with a bunch of witches and wizards, which apparently she was one of them, and she's been poisoned. She wanted her mother.

AND on top of that the antidote she had given Mel hadn't worked. She seriously hoped the one Mel was brewing would work...

Text Cut: Hey Ju

MERLIN, she needed to hurry up! The professor was instructing them to brew, and she still had a few steps to go! "I'm almost done!" she reassured Matt. "Getting those last few steps done now..." She kind of worried he was going to go mentally insane on her if she didn't get this brewed and administered to him NOW. At least he was having a blast. Maybe. Maybe he was so insane that he didn't even realize he was insane. O_O.

She was coming to the RESCUE!

A nap? "Maybe that's a good idea," she said, thinking he might tear down the classroom if he was up and moving. "I'll wake you up when I'm done." She stirred the nearly-finished brew twice in a clockwise direction as she promised this to him. When she was done, she added the two mistletoe berries to the cauldron. "A few more seconds!" she said.

Expecto-Penguin · 02-13-2016, 02:02 AM

Colt really hoped that Ava would brew the potion correctly. His symptoms were getting annoying. He couldn't really even see if Ava was in front of him. He had the urge to throw up again. He even felt his joints getting sore. He tried to keep his composure. He didn't want to seem weak. Yup yup okay the throw up sensation was coming up. He grabbed the bucket and threw up yet again. He got the water and drank it so he wouldn't be dehydrated. He saw the Professor move on, so it was time for the potion for him to drink. Thank god.

He grabbed the potion quickly as he could from Ava and drank it. He didn't even care at this point. He swallowed it whole and he didn't feel any better at all. Well that sucks. He had brew the potion under the effects. Well he hoped he wouldn't have to throw up in the cauldron. He shrugged at Ava and would try his best. This was going to be challenge.

Anna Banana · 02-13-2016, 02:15 AM

Ariadne side-eyed Matt to make sure he was still alive and kicking. HE WAS. "I've almost got you out of this mess!" she said. "Just two more little steps, and I'll have you some to drink! Then you'll be all healed and feeling better than ever." HOPEFULLY. She kind of heard some sounds around the room, and it really didn't sound like everyone was healed yet. NEVER FEAR, MATT! She hoped. How did she even know that she'd brewed this correctly? Hmm... It hadn't exploded yet, and she guessed if he returned to his normal self, it'd be a success. She didn't even know Matt's normal self, though.

Time to meet him!

By this time, Ariadne had stirred two times in an anti-clockwise direction. "Okay, all that's left is to let it sit for two minutes," she said, and then she began timing. What seemed like the longest two minutes of her entire life started ticking by, and when there were finally done, she carefully scooped up a sample for Matt to drink. "DRINK UP!" she said. Time to be healed! She was super confident in her work!

It wasn't much, not enough to do any serious harm or kill her. She wasn't thrilled about intentionally poisoning herself, but it would only cause mild side effects, and Dima would brew the antidote ~~and save her life if this turned out to be something that could kill her~~.

Time to poison herself. Under any other circumstances she would not drink poison intentionally, but it was for a lesson. Not that it would kill her, but poison was generally not good for anyone's health. Lifting the cup to her mouth, she swallowed the contents of the cup. She looked over at Dima. No obvious side effects yet... "The room is spinning."

Spinning? Good thing he was done now. When Newton gave the work, Dima spooned some of the antidote into a cup and passed it to Penelope. "You can drink now? Be feeling better in no time, I think." He let her get her bearings and handle that while he vialed up the rest of his potion.

Now... it was his turn to poison himself? Great. Dima wasn't an idiot and not at all keen on incapacitating himself, so he was considering pouring it down the washbasin or something rather than drinking it. He could act, right? And pretend he'd ingested the stuff?

He mulled over his options while he headed up and went to fetch himself a sample.

When the black spots faded away a moment later, Haddie was sitting in her chair. She wasn't sure how. Either she climbed back into the chair after falling, or Tenacius caught her and helped her there. Personally she was hoping for the latter.

Wow... it was getting so hard to focus on any single thought. As if nearly passing out put in a fog so thick it was worthy of a 1990s horror game. Did she add the standard ingredients yet? Her gut was saying both yes and no, so... better safe than sorry right? Without getting up, because she didn't think she'd be able to stand without falling again just yet, Haddie scooped out one clump of standard ingredients than another. What the hell was a measure of something anyway? They went into the cauldron.

Haddie grabbed the water bottle and a cup and poured the water unsteadily into the cup over her cauldron. Which turned out to be smart, because the shakiness of her hands coupled with the clamminess, and the water bottle slipped out, landing with a thud in the cauldron, and spilling more than 2 cups full of water into the pot.

"So... time for heat then?" She pulled the water bottle out and turned on the burner. In the haziness it was nearly impossible to count, let alone time it out to 5 seconds exactly. After what might have been 5 seconds or might have been 30, Haddie lowered the burner and set her head down on the desk while the concoction brewed.

littledhampir · 02-13-2016, 02:57 AM

Okay, Sam had taken the antidote and she should be better any minute, right? Right. Hopefully. But now it was Olly's turn to drink the potion. Sam had trusted him to successfully make the antidote for her, so he would trust her. He went up to the front of the room to grab the potion and downed it before he could think more about it. No hesitating, and no pausing to smell or even really taste it.

He managed to get back to his seat before the side effects really started kicking in. Which was good, because the first thing he really felt was dizziness. He grabbed on to the table and managed to pull himself into his chair. Olly glanced around the room but it seemed to be spinning and that made him nauseous. Okay, no more of that. He rested his head on the table. As soon as Sam made the antidote he'd be fine, yeah?

lemon · 02-13-2016, 03:03 AM

This Ravenclaw was a perceptive one and could easily tell that the antidotes were 1. not well-brewed (perhaps the class was full of bad brewers, and the recipe could have been ineffective?), or 2. working extremely slowly. He trusted Penelope, but there was no way he was falling for this and drinking that stuff up, even if a professor said to do so. Cynicism was a thing here.

So when nobody was looking, Dima slipped off his shoe and poured the cup of poison into the heel of it. Totally drank that. Yeah.

Was he supposed to pretend the potion was taking its toll now? Err....

“Your welcome,” Mel muttered over to her…”I get it I keep thinking there’s a bunny in here” she muttered to Madge and shrugged her shoulder. “We’ll get through this, and if it doesn’t work I’m sure Professor….poison-man will help us” she muttered and began daydreaming of water with lots and lots and lots and lots of ice in it.

Stirring the potion contents two times anti-clockwise she quickly set an egg timer for two minutes and sat down on the ground next to Madge. “We’ll be fine” she muttered and waited finally sighing as the potion dinged.

“C-can we drink it now Professor?” she asked as she bottled the potion to be safe. If it didn’t work she wanted to find out why that was the case. "if it doesnt work i'd say lets just suck on those gross looking Bezoar stones they are supposed to have antidote capabilities themselves" she muttered as she moved to sit next to Madge again.

Steelsheen · 02-13-2016, 03:59 AM

"Bezoar" the Gryffindor murmured as the Ravenclaw struggled to name this most basic of potion ingredients. He laughed a bit when she called it a Beelzebob though. "Close enough."

If she falls? "Yeah sure I will." nod nod. Question is will he be able to carry her weight? He's an ickle just as she is.

His ears hears one thing from her, but his eyes sees another, she really isnt doing that great at all nope. Just as he was about to offer pounding that bezoar down she said that oddest thing. "Scrougify Rachel's face? What.... right now?" He glanced at the other Ravenclaw also busy with her thing AND doesn’t look to be just as well as Haddie.

Bothered Gryffindor was bothered.

But he went near the other table to try to help out the girl with the ~~dragon~~ tattoo and what he saw next made him stop dead in his tracks.

Sick Hufflepuff. All over the cauldron.

"Ewwwww...." he murmured as he stepped back. "Professor she puked!" point point point at the Hufflepuff.... Or he thought was a Hufflepuff. Pretty sure she was because yellow robes-- but where did she go?? She like hufflepoofed.

Scourgifying someone's face as a favor is ok with him. Scourgifying someone's puke? Yeahhhh NO.

So back he went to his table with Haddie-- just as she was going down for the count!! ASDFASDFASDFA!!!

Zoomed the curly top did just before the glittery blonde hit her head on their entire apparatus. He sat her on the chair. Did she pass out? Hobbling Hinkypunks he's pretty convinced his potion isnt working. He had to find an antidote that worked!! Haddie is dying!!!!

"Professoorrrrr.....!" and off the Gryffindor boy runs to the ~~Posion~~ Potions Master.

Daydreamer11 · 02-13-2016, 04:05 AM

Finally, Professor Newton gave the ok for the antidote to be administered. "Alright Hugo, one antidote coming up." Janelle wasn't sure that her partner would be able to keep the liquid down, given the way he was looking. She hoped for the best, as she cleaned her cup and vial.

When everything was clean, Janelle filled her cup with potion and handed it to Hugo. "Bottoms up. You should feel better soon." She put the remaining potion in her clean vial and stoppered it. Now it was her turn and Janelle was not excited about it. Reluctantly, she went to the front of the class to get her elixir.

Going back to her work area, Janelle checked on her partner. "Are you feeling any better yet?" As she kept her eye on Hugo, Janelle took a deep breath and raised the cup to her lips. "Cheers", she said. As she tasted the liquid, Janelle gave a shudder. It was definitely nasty. Now she just had to wait for the bad stuff to kick in.

Madge looked to Mel who sat beside her. "Is it warm in here to you?" she asked, her face feeling warmer and warmer. She turned away from mell, hugged her cauldron, and vomitted into it again.

"nnnnn-" she whined, wiping her mouth off with the sleeve of her lab coat. Then turned back to Mel, "You feeling any better?" she asked, Lordy, she hoped Mel was, because that would mean hope for herself.

He was maybe a little too impatient now... like, he wanted to know what it was like to have his vision distorted. He'd experienced something like it once or twice before... but this would be different, it was fake, right? Like... it was induced. Okay, they were ALL kind of induced, BUT THIS WAS STILL DIFFERENT.

Too eager now, Zeke rose to go and collect his own serving of elixir, and he drained the contents on his way back to their table. "Seriously, I'm expecting something funny now, it better not disappoint," he mused to Bella as he parked himself on his stool.

So.... any second now, it was welcome to kick in.

Already, he could feel his head becoming a little lighter, but that was the extent of it so far.

Stefan · 02-13-2016, 08:05 AM

Jace swatted the air in front of him, thinking that the room was badly fogged. The vision was kept blurred, white smoke seemed to emanate from every corner of the potions classroom. The Ravenclaw could feel his heart race. It was like he has been running a marathon five minutes ago. He too was sweating so bad that he took his lab coat and Ravenclaw robes off. He immediately took his tie off, and unbuttoned the first two holes of his shirt.

With his tie hanging around his neck, he slowly looked at Elsa and fell off his chair as soon as he saw her. “You have two heads!!! My antidote didn’t work!!!” he said pointing at her, totally forgetting his manners and tone of voice at that point. “That means, no Elsa. I am not okay.” He failed. AGAIN.

Jace could hear someone call his name...and he was sure it was Azura. The Ravenclaw tried to get up from the floor, but he just couldn’t. His legs and arms were like...made of jelly that he can’t push himself up. “I still like your eyes!!!” he exclaimed trying his best to get the cloudiness off of his system. Merlin, his limbs just won’t cooperate!

And...did someone say RAT? Thank Merlin, Jace could still register the voice. The Ravenclaw looked at where Rachel stood, saw her face...and just...stared. “Troll?” Seriously, this poison is just crazy, okay? And it would prove to be more dangerous should a muggle take it. Jace however looked around, and saw the Professor’s Rat.

A huge...FAT RAT on the table up front was looking down at them all. It sat there like a god. Jace couldn’t speak. The vision was enough for the child to pass out on the floor.

Goodnight, everyone.

SilverTiger · 02-13-2016, 08:06 AM

It hadn’t skipped Brooklyn’s notice that Hady had been watching her once she’d taken the antidote. Even with how horrible she felt, not to mention the weird fog that was still obscuring her sight mostly, she still knew when there were eyes on her. The only thing keeping her going right now was determination, and a desire to prove she still had her potions skills. She was still thankful that there wasn’t any knife work involved today. While she refused to believe she’d accidentally cut herself, the way she was feeling now tested that belief. It was easier to just depend on her determination o get her through this, especially since she couldn’t exactly brew in the curled up position she’d been in before.

No, she’d have to be strong, and ignore the smells that were getting stronger now that they weren’t muffled by her knees. At least she didn’t have to drink the poison again. Plus, Hady had reacted to it much like she had, however hazy her view of her partner was. The facial expression still came through well enough. “I’ll get this done soon,” she said softly, having to glance around a few seconds longer than normal before she found her mortar and pestle. She still felt like the world was spinning, too, but somehow she got water into her cauldron after a quick Scourgify, and she dropped the bezoar into the mortar after another Scourgify. Clean equipment was good. Now she’d just have to crush the stone, which proved harder than she’d expected with her head spinning. Determination, she reminded herself silently, slowly. She’d take as long as it took to crush the bezoar.

So much was going on around her Hady wasn't sure whether she was coming or going anymore. What she did know was all the voices and smells from others having gotten sick was causing her head to pound. And trying to figure out who was even speaking to her only made matters all that much more worse. Really it was like trying to hear when you had cotton stuffed in your ears and trying to see what was happening was like trying to see through a white bed sheet when you're a little kid and pretended to be a ghost. This wasn't easy.

Pushing her chair as close to the table as she could with herself still sitting on it she folded her arms on the cool surface before setting her head down on top of her arms. Or well it was more like burying her fact in her arms and shutting her eyes, this proved to help if not only a little bit.

Hady vaguely heard what Brooklyn had said and response to her simply gave a nod of her head. Why the girl needed a broom she really didn't know and honestly she didn't care much just then.

Wait. What?

A-a broom? No, no that couldn't be right?

Turning her head to the side on her arms so she was facing in her partners general direction she mumbled something along the lines of, "What do you need a broom for, did ya knock something over?" Cause you know if she had a simple cleaning charm would help with that much faster then a broom would.

Art was looking around the class, and scratched his face. He could feel Madam Curie's eyes on him, and he avoided her glance. He gulped and scratched his head again. Why... why were they still... well, under the effects of the poison elixir?

There was Miss. Denaker, who was saying she didn't think the antidote had worked. Mr. Reed accusing him of wearing a nappy! Art's eyes widened in shock and he quickly looked down. No, he wasn't wearing a nappy. He breathed a sigh of relief. But... hallucinations? Dear. Oh dear. "Uhhh Mr. Reed, I'm... I'm not w-wearing a n-n-nappy." He said quietly to the first year. Although Mr. Reed seemed to think it was quite funny. Mr. Song had fallen and appeared to be... well, stuck. Miss. Pinkerton-Oliveira also called out to say she still didn't feel better. And then... Art squinted at her through his glasses. Was... was she asleep? Miss. Darcy and Miss. Watson seemed to be having trouble with their mess. Art walked over towards them, pointed his wand at the vomit and banished it. "Great SCOTT Miss. Valentine, are you quite alright?" he asked the young Ravenclaw, who had just bellowed for her partner to hold her. After doing a few more glances around the classroom, his hands now pulling at his hair, he noticed some of the students weren't exactly following the guidelines. He rushed over to Miss. O'Donnelly who was vomiting into her antidote, with Mr. Salander calling for his attention. "Err.. it-it's okay. It was-was o-only going to uhh to be-be a p-potion for you t-t-to keep. For... for y-yourselves," he said, awkwardly giving her a pat on her head. "Evanesco," he said, pointing his wand at the cauldron to vanish the vomit.

Great Scott. They were not in the right state of mind.

What had he done? He had told his students that the antidote would only take a few minutes to kick in. Why hadn't it? It was supposed to! He himself had administered that very potion, the one he had just brewed with his students, countless times to actual poisoned patients. And it had worked! After only a few minutes! He marched to the front of the room, to his desk, and grabbed his container, holding it up to the light. Yes, it was definitely a dark teal. Darker than he was used to, but he thought it was just the quality of the Standard Ingredient. He took a few random vials from the student's desks and compared them with his own. They all looked the same. So... what went wrong? He scratched his head. He KNEW that this elixir would work with the antidote, even though it wasn't actually a poison. He knew this because of the experiements they had done at St. Olaf's Hospital, only a few years prior. He was shaking his head, he felt sweat bead on his forehead.

What went wrong?

"Y-yes, if the p-potion has been brewed y-you may d-drink it," he stuttered in response to Miss. Johanson's question.. His nerves were on end. He was going to get fired! He was going to go to Azkaban! He didn't want to go to Azkaban! And he had to save these children!

And... and... What was Mr. Reed doing? Was... was he SLEEPING? "MR. REED," he said loudly, bending over the boy, giving him a trapezius squeeze in hopes of waking him up. If that failed he'd pour water over the boy's face. Surely sleeping on this elixir wasn't good. "Come on young man, up to the chair," he was saying, trying to pull him up.
