Limply he takes the container of leeches in his gloved hand. Leeches may be generally disgusting, but they have proven to be useful medical aid. And it is a creature, it has as much a right to exist as anybody on the planet.
Its takes him a full minute just hovering that container over the pot, so much so that the steam rising from it has prompted the leeches to start moving out and over his gloved hand. First the Jobberknolls, now the Leeches? "A worthy cause guys, I promise...." he murmured regrettably as he plucked the leeches from his gloves and lay them down into the mixture. He wasnt watching them gorge themselves into self destruction. He just waited and peeked into his cauldron until he can fathom the bubbly edge of the mixture has indeed changed into heartbreaking crimson.
He took his wand and with a swift stabbing motion he cast "Verax!" Now he nears his cauldron...
...... it looked like he's just been boiling water. Quote:

Now, the boy's potion was the dark red as Professor Lafay's. "Verax, Verax,'' he muttered as he took out his wand. He pointed it at the cauldron, "Verax!'' he said and made the jabbing movement. And then suddenly its colour changed and it became clear.
"All done,'' he thought as he wrote down this last bit of instruction in his book. Quote:

The potion turned clear and I guess that was that. She sighed feeling victorious. Quote:

She didn't want to fall asleep in class, or Professor Lafay might use her as a test subject. And, while she felt happy when she found out that the leeches actually were going to be sucking up the potion, and therefore the blood, it wasn't a very long-lived pride. Since instead of drinking blood, they were going to either end up drinking icky dissolved leeches who had drank the blood, or making somebody else drink it. That didn't seem like much of a better alternative, honestly, so she still hoped that somehow they weren't going to be expected to test it. A slim hope, but it was still there.
She'd reached for her container of leeches, though. She wasn't going to back down and show her fear, not when she knew Professor Lafay was likely to pounce on that if she had. Therefore, she didn't even bother putting her gloves on. She'd just not let the leeches latch on, and she picked each of the five needed up carefully and placed them into the potion without too much incident. There had been one moment when she thought a leech was going to twist around and attach to her finger, but she dropped it into the potion before it could. And she ignored them as they started sucking up the liquid and growing larger. Ignoring meant she might be able to pretend they weren't real, as long as eventually they poofed and turned the potion red. Although, she'd forgotten the other connection that could be made to the color, and, as she finally glanced down to check the potion, she remembered that sharply. The potion was basically blood-red. More of a dried-blood red, but it still looked like kind of thin blood. Still not anything she wanted to drink, but she'd reminded herself of the spell they'd been told about after a moment.
Taking her wand out again, she jabbed it at the cauldron's contents practically without looking. "Verax," she said, clearly and focusing on just making the spell work. She'd much rather not have to look at the potion again until it had, after all, and, after a moment, she peeked down at the cauldron. It wasn't quite as red as before, but not clear yet, so she jabbed her wand again. "Verax." She was going to be angry if her accent made her unable to finsih this potion, and that irritation seemed to help. The potion finally turned crystal clear, and she blinked. Why are we only learning about clear potions this term?, she wondered. It seemed awfully sneaky, but she kept the question to herself as she turned to finish off her notes. She'd figure out why eventually.

Directions:
1. Clean the cauldron. Always the first step. ( Scourgify)
2. Fill the cauldron with water. Set the fire burner.
3. Add in the 8 drops of wormwood essence, one at a time.
4. Begin stirring the potion in a counter-clock motion.
5. As the motion is in motion, slowly add the Jobberknoll blood. Must be a low and slow stream into the moving potion. Red making circles in the water.

7. Ready the mortar and pestle. Make sure it is clean ( Scourgify).
8. Put the poppy seeds into the mortar and crush it to dust.
9. Take the Valerian sprigs, break them and put into the mortar while grinding. Crush it together with the poppy dust.
10. Add the crushed dust into the cauldron.
11. Place the leeches inside the potion and it'll start sucking some of the liquid. Once it's full, it'll start disintegrating into the potion, will turn red, a dark deep red. Use gloves if you must to avoid contamination.
12. Cast on the potion in a straight jabbing motion and say ' Verax' loud and clear. It will become clear.
She took the gloves and wore it. She doesn't want to be contaminated and be sucked by the leeches. She grabbed the leeches and put them in the potion. Befelda noticed the liquid in the potion was slowly minimizing. It was already being sucked by the leeches. And little by little, the potion was turning to red, until it was in deep red. Hmm...I think it's time to cast the potion.She then took her wand, cast the potion in a straight jabbing motion and said, "Verax" loud and clear. Suddenly, the potion's becoming clear. Sigh. I hope this is done. Quote:

It looked slimy and gooey and the skin was so slippery.... like... EW! Then the ugly leech started sucking some of her potion. Ek, Kat doesn't wanna drink it anymore. Later on, the leech started disintegrating and the potion turned dark red. Cool. Grabbing her wand, Kat did that awesome jab. " Verax!"

Dropping it rather suddenly into the cauldron with a small splash, she wrinkled her nose as the leech grew in size as it drank up the potion and...okay, that was gross.
Covering her mouth with the other hand, Kurumi quickly dropped in the other four leeches and waited for them to dissolve into the boiling liquid. She didn't realize that she had been holding her breath until the potion turned a deep red and then she readied her wand for the last step. Practicing the wand move and incantation a few time separately, the seventh year took a deep breath and jabbed her wand towards the cauldron, " Verax." She ended up holding her breath again until the potion turned clear and then slouched in her seat. SPOILER!!: Kurumi's parchment Kurumi Hollingberry

He watched as she placed the leech inside her potion, and he waited to see what happens, he saw the leech suck up the potion and then she said that it would disintegrate into the potion. He watched as she cast the spell Verax after it had turned a deep dark red, and it was done according to her so now he decided to have a go himself now
He put on his gloves cause there was no way that he wanted that leech to be attached to him, after he made sure that his gloves were on nice and tight and secure he picked up his leech and put it into the potion. He then watched it carefully as it started to take in the potion and he watched as it grew before suddenly before his own eyes it disinegrated and the potion changed color to a deep dark red, so that meant that he was doing it right.. correct? its seemed so! He then took out his wand and pointed it at the potion.. she said Verax right? yeah thats what she said, loud and clear too. He pointed his wand at the potion "Verax!" he said loud and clear and saw that his potion had now turned to a clear potion. So that meant that he was done now right? it looked like it!

She knew it was a leech and leeches sucked blood, which made her sick thinking about, but it was living. It was a living creature... She couldn't kill spiders let alone anything else and now they had to kill something by letting it poison it's self in the potion. She whispered "You have to be kidding me..."
She watched as the others went about their business like it was no big deal. She really felt like she might throw up now. Not only did she had to smell and see blood, but she was going to have to kill something. This was just not working out.. She wanted to run out of class, but figured she would end up in detention or something. She just sat back breathing hard trying not to get sick over all of it. She wasn't sure she could finish this potion and that did not help her feeling sick... Quote:

Trying not to think further about how would someone drink something that has a leech in it, Cassia put on her gloves. She then reached for the jar that contained the little things and opened it.
She held her breath pulling out five leeches from the jar and tossing them into the cauldron. Closing the jar quickly she sat back waiting for the leeched to do whatever they were supposed to do. Cassia wasn't interested in watching that. She took the opportunity to watch how people around her were doing. Most of them if not all seemed to be not so content about interacting with leeches. No one would blame them. Probably only potion masters are ok with using them.
She almost forgot why was she sitting here swinging her lags back and forth while watching the others. But of course the huge cauldron before her jerked her back to reality. Yeah..right..brewing a potion here. Cassia took her wand and aimed it at the liquid, "Verax." She spoke. Then peering down at her potion she saw that it now turned clear just like water. A simile played on her lips implying that she was happy that she had brewed this potion successfully. Quote:

Dropping it in, it began absorbing the fluid. Olivia took notes and nodded her head at the potion's progress. Recording each step of the potion making onto her parchement. Once it was done, she twiddeled her wand before making the jabbing motin and said "Verax" loud and clear. "Um, professer" she raised her hand "is the potion supposed to be clear in color when it's finished?" Quote:

He listened to the instructions, his face growing more somber as she continued. He had been under the impression that they were using dried leeches, not live ones. Had he really been that tired to not have noticed? Than peered over at the leeches at his table. Apparently he had.
The boy pulled on his gloves after quickly Scourgifying them. Not that he had a problem working with leeches - they weren't all that unlike the worms he used in his personal Herbology work - but he was still really tired and was afraid he would be careless in his exhaustion and inadvertently allow them to latch on to his skin. He dropped the first leech in and sneaked a glance over at Minnie. Oh.. she did not look good at all. Nope, she looked much worse. He glanced into his cauldron, noting that the leech was beginning to disintegrate, and he leaned closer to Minerva. "Minnie," he murmured. "You don't look so good.. are you sure you're alright?" He glanced over at her remaining ingredients, seeing that all her leeches were still present. Hmm, maybe that was the problem..
He dropped one of her leeches into her cauldron. "Here.. I'll do this part for you. Do you think you can cast the spell when it's finished?" Ethan didn't think he should really brew the potion for her.. but maybe just help her with this part and hopefully Lafay wouldn't mind. It would be better than having a student puke all over her floor, right? Ethan alternated dropping leeches into each of their cauldrons, giving them time to disintegrate, until they each had five. He pulled his wand out and jabbed it straight at the cauldron. Verax. SPOILER!!: Potions Journal Lingualaxus Truth Serum Ingredients- Water

Faintly she heard someone say something to her and she slowly turned.. "I..I don't know.. I just can't.." she looked back at the leeches. That's when she saw his hand go in front of her and dropped a leech into her cauldron, she gasped quietly and shut her eyes not wanting to see the thing die. She opened her eyes just slightly and saw him doing all her leeches. That was so sweet of him to come to her rescue she thought. She glanced at Lafay hoping she wouldn't freak out that Ethan was helping her. She owed him big for this one. When he seemed finished she cautiously opened her eyes fully and looked at him, not the potion (that could still have parts of leeches floating). With a weak voice she whispered, "I owe you big.. I..I can do the spell." Pulling out her wand she pointed at the cauldron and took a deep breath. Jabbing her wand at the potion she tried as clearly as she could "Verax" When the potion went clear she breathed easier and smiled weakly towards Ethan, "Your amazing, you know that.."

Sarah put her gloves on and picked up a leech which squirmed in her hand and put it over the potion, which it began to lap up. Once it had its share it began to disintergrate. Sarah then picked up the next leech and did the same, as with the next three leeches, by now the potion had a deep red colour.
Sarah then took replaced her wand in her hand and gave a straight jabbing motion. " Verax" she said and prayed that the potion had worked although she had added the wormwood essence too fast. Quote:

Grabbing her gloves, Ella placed them on and eyed the leeches nervously. The whole blood sucking thing freaked Ella out a bit but at least her skin wasn't exposed, that made her feel a bit better. Following Lafay's directions, the third year placed the leech into her potion and watched as it started to drink. YUCK. It was definitely starting to disintegrate. And it was really really red. So that must mean...
Picking up her wand, the blonde pointed it at the potion and made the straight jabbing motion. "VERAX!"
Watching the potion, the badger sighed with relief when it turned clear. Meep. This was good, yeah? Quote:

She took out her wand and did a straight jabbing motion, "Verax." Tay couldnt muster a smile when the potion turned clear though. Quote:

With a small sigh, Renesmee put on her gloves and eyed the creatures. She took a deep breathe and then as carefully as she could she placed the leech inside her cauldron. She almost wanted to vomit as the leech began drinking away. It even got worse when it began to disintegrate.
Trying not to look, Nessie decided to focus on her spell instead. Almost done she was. "Verax" she said clearly, quickly and loudly with a jab movement. Then like magic the whole potion turned clear.
Much better. Ness beamed and then finished off her notes. Quote:

10. Cast Verax on the potion so that it will become clear.
Okaaay. Leech time.
She turned to the six leeches on her table. "Hmmm...here's the hard part." She said eyeing each of them. "One of you's gonna get to live...but the rest of you...well at least you get to be part of a cool potion!" See? Always a bright side if you looked just right. "Now, let's get this over with." Then quite randomly she grabbed five of them, one at a time of course, and plopped them into the solution. "Congrats Jimmy! You're the lucky leech!" BEAM. Wasn't he going to be so happy. Yuuuup.
Looking over into the cauldron she saw them begin to suck up the liquid then turn red. Now came the fun part. Her favourite motion was one that involved jabbing so she had a feeling this one would come easy. Jab. "Verax." A puff of smoke appeared at the tip of her wand but nothing else happened.
Ahem. JAB. "Verax!"
She grinned widely when the potion turned clear. Oh yeah. Like a boss! Quote:

Then Belle took out her wand and did a straight jabbing motion and said, "Verax!" loud and clear. Then the potion was clear. Phew she did all the steps right! Belle was smiling and a weight was lifted! She was glad she was done with the potion. Quote:

She eyed the little wriggling pile in front of her before shrugging and dumping them unceremoniously into the cauldron. Although still wearing her gloves from the last step, it wasn't strictly necessary considering she just dumped them out of the little container straight into the boiling liquid. As Lafay had said, they seemed to grow fatter before disappearing into the potion, which darkened into a horrifying crimson. Like a vat of blood. There was that gagging again.
It would help if it wasn't that color, Vivi decided, and she pointed her wand at the cauldron and jabbed. "Verax," she spoke clearly, and the potion immediately began to fade from crimson to salmon to pink and then the color was gone and she was left with clear liquid. Strange how all the potions so far had been clear. Quote:

Even with gloves it still had a major ick factor. She placed her gloves on her hands and tried to trick her brain about the whole leech thing.
She picked up the leech and placed it into the potion. Sure enough it started sucking up the liquid and it didn't take long for it to get full because right before her eyes it started to disintergrate. She watched it as it turned a deep dark red. She took out her wand a did a straight jabbing motion. "Verax." she rang out loud and clear. Whew! She was done. Quote:

She was pretty sure she knew how to handle a leech, but she didn't want to make a wild guess either.
She picked up the leech and placed it inside the potion. She watched it as it went to work, sucking some of the liquid. Everything happened just as it should, and soon, Sierra's potion was a deep, dark red. She flicked her wand out her holster, jabbed it toward the potion, and said, "Verax!" A few moments later, the potion was clear. ooc: Sorry guys I realize I didn't specify that you all should repeat the process with the leech for the other leeches, I meant it to...
" Very well... your potions should be clear. Indistinguishable from water. Take a vial and fill it with a portion of it, then pour the rest into a bottle, cork it and bring it to me." She said and then held her stomach. " Homework. Find someone to give your potion to, and ask them a question. They should answer with the truth. Then tell me where it happened. Class Dismissed!" More ooc: Rp somewhere giving someone the potion. You should ask permission to do so. Then PM me with links to where you RPed.
