But the wheels in his mind were turning. What was this love potion nonsense? Love was supposed to be earned by showing your true feelings for the one you fancy. Not by some dumb potion. “Professor, what is the point of using a love potion? If there is a point?” He couldn’t help it. It really was an honest question.

"Professor, pardon my interruption, if the vial in your hand is Veritaserum, the use of it on a student requires Ministry Approval first!" he would know his brother was MLE, "And besides, I can personally vouch for Evelyn, she didn't drug Mr Carter, this is very much his own personal will talking."

The boy was prepared for the blast that he would recieve from Lafay, however noone else seemd to be standing in Evelyn defense, and in a round about way Josh was his reponsiblity, as the Gryffindor Prefect. The Prefect that would be having a chat with the certain lion later on!

After hearing another student question if it was illegal she looked back at the professor and nodded as if insinuating a point.

"Professor, just what are you planning on doing with this potion? ...Unless it is, in fact, water..." she said mumbling. She choked on the last word slightly frightened gripping her quill.

He raised his hand after the Slytherin asked if the Professor was serious and he spoke scared out of his mind.

"Professor isn't this a theoretical lesson?"

and he sunk in his chair as soon as the words left his mouth. He closed his eyes waiting for the cruciatus or the bottle on the desk for that matter to hit him square in the face.

But, they were talking about poisons, right? Was Veritaserum a poison? Kurumi supposed if it wasn't brewed properly it could be.

Raising her hand, Kurumi decided to offer another answer that her classmates hadn't already suggested. "Professor, botulin is also orderless and tasteless."

He could feel Lexi rest against him and quickly swung his arm and rested them on her shoulders. Yes drama, drama, drama... oh a question! He looked at the vial the Professor showed the class then replied "Uhm... if we're still in the discussion of poisons-- Arsenic is also known to be colorless and odorless... tasteless too I think? Anyway there were plenty of cases that was said to be done by Arsenic poisoning because of how readily available it is. "

And then he looked at the vial. Then smiled and half raised his hand. "It could be Veritaserum."

THEN he looked back at his parchment. "But seeing as that's illegal to use on students... it could just as well..."

He made another note.

"... be water."

Oh for the love of Merlin!

Sierra glanced at the Gryffindor boy out of the corner of her eyes and then promptly rolled her eyes at him. "I agree," she mumbled, "I have absolutely no problem with him getting punished..." After all, it'd do wonders for the points board. Knowing this, Sierra lounged back in her seat and watched with a smirk as the nonsense continued. Maybe if she somehow provoked him, he'd keep up the show and dig the Lions' grave deeper and deeper.

Heh.

...and somehow, throughout all this, Hollingberry of course managed to provide one of her textbook-perfect answers, earning her a narrowing of the eyes from Sierra.

Gryffindors...

I'll bet you 5 galleons it's the latter of the two." Benjamin was still in the dark corner relaxed. He looked from the girl to the professor, an smirked. Lafays teaching methods may be a little eccentric, but her effectiveness worked perfectly.

Lafay that close! It meant danger! A fatal one. Perhaps, she had come to strangle him to death or poison him with another cookie or something much more evil and painful that the boy could not even imagine.

Meh...

She could do whatever she wanted, he was done after all. He had done what he wanted to do and the rest did not bother him. If Lafay wanted to use him as a guinea pig for the poisons class, so be it. If he somehow managed to prove Evelyn that he really loved her, everything did worth it. He could even spend rest of his school years in the detention place after being used as a Potions Class Material for a year or more.

Huh? There it was happening. She was giving him something to eat. Staring first at the stone in her hand then at the professor suspiciously, the boy picked up the bezoar and examined it some. ''Why?'' Yes, he asked the question though the Potions Mistress' tone sounded like 'don't do it and you cannot even imagine the result' to him ''It does not look delicious''. Hah. He was not going to bring it near his mouth until she explained what it was.

However when he had seen the look or, to be more exact, glare that the woman shot at Evelyn and heard with what she accused the Slytherin girl, Josh's eyed widened, a deeply worried expression appearing on his face. ''Professor!'' so he exclaimed quickly putting the stone in his mouth and swallowing it down. ''I did what you wanted me to do. I did it. I ate the stone.'' but nothing seemed to happen anyway ''There's no love potion professor. She doesn't need magic to make me love her. She does not need anything for that at all. She did nothing!''

Stopping again the Gryffindor thought Lafay might pay attention to his words yet when she seemed to pick up a potion thing (or was it POISON?!) and placed it on the girl's desk, Josh quickly figured that no good thing was going to happen to her. And it was because of him! Because of HIM! No way! There was no way he could let this happen. Lafay or whomever else. No one could hurt his love while he was alive.

''NO!'' so he rushed towards Evelyn and Lafay but tripped on the way and fell down. ''Ow!'' his nose did hurt A LOT. Holding the nose and ignoring the pain, the lion boy quickly jumped on his feet again and placed himself as a shield between Evelyn and the evil Mistress. ''Don't do it. I did what you want me to do. She has not done anything. She is innocent. Do not do it. Punish me instead! PUNISH ME!''

Pffft sometimes he hated that robes. It was making him sweat under it.

No.

Nuhnuhnuhnuhnoooooo.

"When I was younger, third year or so," Jake said, keeping his temper as he set his quill down, and looking up at Evelyn. "Professor Kazimeriz thought I was lying about something. He let me think I was slipped a truth serum, as a kind of placebo. I was already telling the truth, but his method, I'm familiar with. It works."

And then he went back to his drawing after a glance at Lafay... but then... REALLY JOSH?!

STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE.

Gripping her seat as Lafay came nearer, Evelyn stared at the vial on her desk for a moment, still confused as all get out, before looking up to the Professor as she started speaking. Colorless, odorless, and...tasteless...

Her face was starting to become colorless as well after each word was spoken before it burned red in embarrassment; and tad bit of anger. She knew what potion it was, but it only made it worse once a MILLION PEOPLE told what it was. Lafay hadn't believed her. For once, she sooooo wished with all her heart that Jake was right, and that it was water. "Professor." she said wide eyed, gaze flickering back to the vial. "You...you can't be serious. I'm telling the truth!"

Didn't someone say it was illegal to use on students?!
