Did the professor also want them to start collecting the ingredients? Probably not... right? They still had to set up their cauldrons and go through the five C's... again. Selena cleaned out her cauldron as the professor instructed with a scourgify before using Aguamenti to fill the cauldron with water. Quote:

Pulling his cauldron closer to himself he peeked inside before casting Scourgify on it and then filling it with water via the Aguamenti charm. Quote:

First C of potion making, Cleanliness.
Wand in hand, Elise pointed it at the cauldron and circled it around the whole thing. "Scourgify," she muttered before peering in again. It looked clean, but she could never be too sure that Professor Lafay wouldn't turn the cauldron over. Performing the spell again, she repeated the process twice more until she was satisfied.
Okay. Now for water. "Aguamenti," she smiled, visualizing the cauldron brimming with water. A healthy stream erupted from her wand and just the right amount poured itself into the cauldron.
Not collecting ingredients yet, right? So Elise just listed the ingredients into her book. Quote:

After he was done, he took his wand from its holster and pointed it at his cauldron. " Scourgify," he said. This time he had cleaned it out first. He remembered the first potions lesson ever where Professor Lafay had made him restart because he hadn't cleaned it.
Then it was time to fill it up. " Aguamenti," he said, filling the cauldron with water. He looked up when she mentioned the five C's. There was no way he had forgotten of the five C's. He wrote them on his notes, right above the ones he had previously written. Quote:

She made sure she was careful in her movement so as not to blast things.
"Scourgify," she stated to clean it. She peered again and now was sure it is okay to start. "Now to fill it with water," she pointed her wand again. "Aguamenti," and water filled the cauldron. Quote:

Kurumi counted to five slowly in her head as she waited for her cauldron to fill with water. When it was at the proper level, she cast Finite and set her wand down to wait for the next set of instructions. Quote:

She had been late, instead she decided to follow the new set of tasks and set about preparing her cauldron. Cleaning it out and filling it with water. "Scourgify," she pointed the cauldron glistened. "Aguamenti" and the water began to fill rapidly. There her cauldron was nice and ready for the next step. Quote:

Raising her hand she waited a few seconds before speaking, "Professor the five C's of Potions making are Color, concentration, care, cleanliness, and content." She smiled feeling proud of her obviously correct answer. Quote:

Alyssa took out her wand and pointing it inside her cauldron, she said the incantation, " Scourgify" to clean it. She then put down her wand and checked the insides of her cauldron to make sure it was properly cleaned.
Once Alyssa was sure that her cauldron was clean, she checked it for cracks. Her cauldron had to be free from cracks to prevent any possible leakage later. She definitely did not need that to happen in this class. Once she was sure that her cauldron was in perfect condition, Alyssa picked up her wand again and pointing it inside her cauldron, she said the incantation, " Aguamenti" to fill her cauldron with water. Water poured out from her wand and once there was sufficient water in the cauldron, she stopped the water from flowing by saying " Finite" to end the spell before holstering her wand and waited for further instructions.

Then as instructed, Ira took her cauldron and first cleaned it, " Scourgify!" There, her cauldron was as clean it could be. And then filled it up with water. " Aguamenti" Water did not gush out from her wand but came as a slow stream. Fine, Ira was thankful that it at least came on first try. She filled the cauldron as required and then cast the finite spell to stop the flow. Then waited for further instructions. Quote:

Once done she placed her quill down and looked at the cauldron in from of her. She had to go threw the five C's. The five C's were Cleanliness, Care, Color, Concentration, Content. Taking out her wand she pointed it at her cauldron and said, "Scourgify." Once the cauldron was clean she checked it over to see if it was all good. As it should be her cauldron was fine. Taking her wand again Angelina pointed inside the pot and said, "Aguamenti," like it should do, the cauldron fulles up with water. Now that her cauldron was full of water she was ready for the next step, so she say and waited. Quote:

He took out his wand, casting a scourgify on the cauldron instantly cleaning it. As he began to hum to himself, actually feeling content... Almost happy. Once he'd finished, he waited for further instructions from the professor. Quote:

Sophie was then about to fill her cauldron with water when she heard other students using some kind of spell to clean it up first. She had never used that spell, but she decided to try it out. Looking inside her cauldron, she pointed her wand at it. "Scourgify!" Sophie frowned as she didn't see any big differences in the cauldron. She wasn't sure if the spell hadn't worked or if her cauldron was already clean enough... or perhaps they weren't supposed to see the difference anyway. Oh well. She was still pointing her wand at her cauldron. "Aguamenti!" This spell she had already used a few times, so she was just fine with it. "Finite." There! She smiled and waited for the next instruction. Quote:

Well she hoped it was the first ingredient. "aguamenti," she said, and her cauldron filled up with water. Quote:

She pulled out her wand and though long and hard about what to do first. The 5 C's of potion making. Cleanliness. She gave a flick of her wand and said, "Scourgify". Her next step was to add water. With another flick of her wand she said, "Aguamenti." Okay water is checked off the list...what next? Quote:
Originally Posted by hjhm Jonathan took off his robes and put folded it, then put it onto his bag.

What you learn theoretically, you produce it by brewing it. Fun stuff.
Of course this is Lafay's class and what Lafay likes is cleanliness and organized in every step of brewing. That's why there's the 5Cs. Jonathan placed his cauldron on the table and took out his wand as well. He pointed the wand onto his cauldron "Scourgify" cleaning it. Before putting the water in, Jonathan decided to copy the ingredients on the board. This could be very helpful in the future.
Okay, now time to fill up the cauldron with water. Again he pointed his wand inside the cauldron "Aguamenti" he uttered and saw water filling up the cauldron this time. Now to wait for Professor's further instructions. Quote:

And she still didn't trust her potionmaking skills enough to ask Matt later if he had any allergies. Just because she passed her OWL hadn't convinced her that she couldn't still fail.
As they were instructed to begin brewing, however, she shifted into motion. First step, making sure everything was clean. Her cauldron was already in front of her, so she leaned over to examine it closely before taking her wand out of its holster. "Scourgify," she cast, making sure to run her wand deliberately over every inch of the interior of her cauldron, as well as the outside just to be absolutely sure Professor Lafay wouldn't find anything wrong with her cauldron. She remembered last term, when several people's cauldrons had been overturned for not being clean, at least one of which fairly close to her own workstation, and she didn't want to inadvertently cause a repeat. And, once she was certain her cauldron was clean, she pointed her wand inside it once again. "Aguamenti," she cast then, letting the water that flowed from the tip of her wand slowly fill the cauldron, before ending the charm and turning to her notes. She didn't want to forget those.

She scribbled the ingredients list in her journal then set about cleaning her cauldron, "Scourgify." Glenn said clearly, pointing her wand at her cauldron. The layer of dust whipped off it, leaving it sparkling clean. She was surprised how it had gotten so dirty over the summer. Now, to fill it with water, "Aguamenti!" Water jetted out of her wand and filled her cauldron. Now, what next. Quote:

He looked up again wondering what the 5Cs were. Was that some kind of spell? He hesitated for a moment before proceeded to prepare his potions materials anyway, the way he always did it at Salem. He took out his cauldron and scourgified it to clean it, inspecting it for any cracks just to make sure it wouldnt leak. It was then that he cast the aguamenti spell and filled the cauldron with water. Quote:

She opened up her new Potion journel and went to the first page ''okay,'' she hummed to herself ''Scourgify,'' she pointed to the cauldron, then looked inside it, all seemed to be at perfection! She smirked a bit... Lafay's class SO changed people! Although she was being a 'nice' teacher today! She liked it  ''Aguamenti,'' she waited for the cauldron to fill up, then she looked up to Lafay for further instructions Quote:

So when Lafay instructed them to begin she took out all of her supplies with shaky hands and placed them on the station in front of her. Then she drew out her wand and said softly, "Scourgify." And the cauldron was clean and ready. Then she filled the cauldron with water, "Aguamenti." Quote:

Moving on..as the list of ingredients appeared on the board, she jotted them quickly on her parchment.
After doing so, Beezus walked over to where her cauldron was, scourgified it first since they were to follow the 5 C's and cleanliness was one and then took out her wand, pointed it towards the cauldron, "Aguamenti.." she uttered and a jet of water rushed into the cauldron from the tip of her wand. Estimating the level of water and settling for more than half of the cauldron, she pulled back her wand and waited for Professor Lafay to announce the steps. Quote:

Ella neatly began copying the ingredients down on her parchment, not wanting to miss anything. Then, putting her quill down, she took up her wand and pointed it at her cauldron. She knew that to fill it she would use aguamenti but the other students were using scourgify first...hmm. Taking a note from the older students, Ella pointed her wand at her cauldron and said, "Scourgify." She wasn't really sure what was supposed to be different so she shrugged and began filling the cauldron with water. "Aguamenti." When she thought there was an adequate amount, she pulled her wand back and looked up at the Professor. Quote:

Parchment:
As she was getting her cauldron ready and pulling her wand out she thought about the 5 C's and about last years class when students didn't use the C's. Ok the C's are Color, Concentration, Care, Cleanliness, and Content she thought to her self. Then looking at the cauldron she pointed her wand "Scourgify" Once Minerva knew the cauldron was clean she pointed again "Aguamenti" the water began to fill in the cauldron. Minerva noticed she had enough water so she pointed "Finite" and placed her wand back into it's proper place. Quote:

Messer took his wand, pointed at his cauldron "Scourgify!" When he was sure that his cauldron was clean enough, he pointed his wand again at his cauldron "Aguamenti!" the water started to flow from the tip of her wand and slowly fill the cauldron, he cast the Finite charm when the water was at the proper level.

She took her wand, pointing at her cauldron,"Scourgify". It was clean enough now. Then she filled it with water, casting the spell,"Aguamenti". That made a good preparation for making the potion. All she had to do now was to wait for the professor for further instructions. Quote:

Laura looked around and realised her cauldron was getting full and so she moved her wand onto the floor but forgot to stop the spell for a couple of seconds. "I'm sorry Professor." Laura sighed as the spell stopped, well it was an accident and the floor was just a bit wet but well she didn't know the spell to dry it up or she would have done. Quote:

She glanced around at the other students and heard a number of them saying scourgify. Ah, a cleaning spell, Silvia thought. Silvia was very familiar with the cleaning spell; she witnessed her mother use it numerous times. Then cleaning must be one of the five Cs. It definitely made sense.
She pointed her wand at the cauldron and said "Scourgify." It was hard to tell if it had made any difference; but then, this was her first ever potion so the cauldron couldn't be that dirty to begin with. Plus she had wiped out all the dust that had been collecting in it last night. Having made sure the cauldron was clean, Silvia said "Aguamenti," and watched as water fell from the tip of her wand and into the cauldron. Once this was done, she waited quietly for further instructions. Quote:

August looking inside his cauldren and didn't see any visible contaminents but that was never the way you checked though. Pointing his wand inside it he said, "Scorgify." and then once it was clean he filled it with water. "Aguamenti." Quote:

For now, she just worked on emptying her cauldron out. When that was done, she pointed her wand at it and said, "Scourgify." Now it was nice and clean for when she did her potion.
She changed the position of her wand now, to point into the cauldron, saying, "Aguamenti." When she had enough water in the cauldron, she placed her wand down again and waited for Professor Lafay to give the next instructions. Quote:

The Five C's. Right. Those were pretty much drilled into her mind by this point. Cleanliness was what she needed now, though, so she peered into her cauldron. Although she didn't immediately see anything out of the ordinary, she very well knew that dust and left behind ingredients had a tricky way of hiding out until something went wrong.
She pointed her wand deep into the cauldron. "Scourgify!" she said. She waited a minute for the spell to take effect then pointed her wand into the cauldron one again. "Aguamenti!" she said, and filled the cauldron with water. When the water reached the point it should be, she ended the water charm with a quick "Finite," then waited for the next set of instructions.

However, the fifth year started scribbling down the ingredients of the potion: - Water
- 10 drops Valerian root
- 10 drops Salamander Blood
- 2 dock leaves
- 1 Ashwinder Egg
- 4 sprigs Fluxweed
- 10 drops Murtlap Essence
- 2 sprigs Parsley
- 3 spoons Raw honey
- 5 Basil leaves
- 1 whole Papaya
- 1 Ginger Root
- 17 Reishi (mushroom of immortality)
With her wand, she flicked it, " Scourgify," at the cauldron sitting before her. She peered inside and touched the top of the pot with one finger to make sure the spell worked. Satisfied, she flicked it again and this time, " Aguamenti," the thin stream of water burst out of her wand and into the cauldron. The girl sighed inwardly, feeling slightly humiliated that the Aguamenti charm, of all, remained lame even as she aged and her other spells developed. She made a mental note to check the problem out. " Finite," murmuring just for the fun of it because the water had already stopped. Heh. Quote:

He ran a finger on the inside of his cauldron and was pleased to see that there wasn't a bunch of gross junk still sitting on the inside, but one could never be too sure. "Scourgify!" he said, waving his wand and cleaning the cauldron with ease. Now it was DEFINITELY ready to go!
"Aguamenti," he said, starting to fill his cauldron with water until it reached the level he had desired. Quote:

The theoretical part of the class was soon over, and they were starting the potion now. By filling their cauldrons with water, simple as that. So far so good. 'Aguamenti.' Ariadne spoke firmly, pointing her wand to the inside of her cauldron and watching it fill with water, until she gauged it had reached the right level, when she stopped the charm. Like the rest of the class, Ari was now waiting for instructions, still feeling shivers down her spine when Lafay walked by her, though not as much as when she had been a firstie. Quote:

Now for some water, with a flock of her wand "Aguamenti." and the cauldron started to fill up with water. When she got the water to the desired level she said "Finite" with a flick of her wand. She looked up towards the professor and waited for further instruction. Quote:

He absently nodded at the professor's instructions, quite familiar with the begining tasks at hand. Gideon set his cauldron carefully on the burner before switching quill for wand. "Scourgify," he cast to double check the cleansfulness of the inside. "Aquamenti..." he added fulling the cauldron with fresh water until he was satisfied with the level and then cancelled the spell and awaited the next step. Quote:

Unsure of what the professor meant about the five C's of potion making, Lily raised her hand to ask a question. " Um, Professor.... Can you possibly explain the five C's of potion making to me." Lily didn't know whether the professor would appreciate her not knowing of the things to follow, but this was Lily's first potions class, and she was muggleborn so she knew not of magical techniques or tips to follow.

"Augumenti." Vlim said, pointing her wand at the empty cauldron. As water started to fill the cauldron, Vlimia watched intently, waiting for the best moment to cast Finite. After a few seconds, the cauldron was almost full. "Finite." Vlimia said, and the water level stopped rising. Vlim awaited her next instructions eagerly. Quote:
