Taylor dugged into her bag and found the bag of brownies she was going to give to her friend and decided that it might make Lafay happier than her friend... maybe... She went over to the professor and handed her the bag, "I hope you get better soon, Professor. Thank you for the lesson. I admire how hard you work..." Tay turned, grabbed her stuff and headed for the door. Quote:

Removing her gloves, Ella placed them back where she'd gotten them and picked up her wand, cleaning her work space and the tools she'd used to brew the potion. When she was finished she picked up her jar and brought it up to Professor Lafay.
"Here Professor, thank you for the lesson." And she placed her jar carefully down before giving the woman a small smile. Right. Now time for a trip to the library. And off she went. Quote:

Then she pulled out her parchment and wrote down the homework. She couldn't believe classes were ending. All they had were finals left.
Walking to the front of the room she placed the jar on the desk with the others. "Thanks for the lesson Professor." She wanted to say have a great day, but she didn't think with the way the professor looked that she had many good days this term. She just hoped the professor would feel better soon. Quote:

"Thanks for the lesson, Professor,'' the boy said as he placed the jar next to the others. "Hope you'll be better soon.'' Quote:

Once she had finished cleaning and she had written down the homework. She placed the small jar in her bag and picked up the other jar.
While setting her jar next to the others she said,"Thanks for the lesson Professor Lafay." After she had turned in the jar, she slung her bag around her shoulder and went to leave the classroom. But before leaving she quickly added "Hope you get well, Professor. Quote:
Originally Posted by SilverTiger Waiting for her unction to solidify, Kendall's attention had gone back to Professor Lafay as soon as she had heard the woman speak again. So someone, apparently one of her housemates, had actually had the courage to ask the professor if sheneeded help, and, surprisingly, the response hadn't been as biting as it could have been. How it should have been, considering Kendall was pretty well terrified of the woman even when she didn't look like she was halfway to turning into a zombie. She remembered the past few terms, at least, which really was why she was so confused by the mood swings now. Zombies didn't have mood swings, not that she was aware. But Professor Lafay isn't a zombie yet, so maybe whatever's turning her into one is making her act weird, she thought, turning back to her cauldron only to see that the contents had solidified.
Well, that's good, she thought, still internally cringing at how much it looked like blood. Dried blood, at that, because normal blood wouldn't be all thick and solid-ish, and she was supposed to actually use it on something. She couldn't think of a single thing she wanted to subject to having that spread onto. She still had to turn it in, though. She was enough of a Ravenclaw to want the points for having succeeded in creating it, even if it creeped her out. Pulling two jars out of her kit, a larger and a teeny one, she Scourgified both before pulling a spoon out and doing the same. Then, she proceeded in transferring the unction to the jars, starting with the single spoonful for the tiny one, then the rest got scooped into the larger before she switched her attention to writing out labels. Attaching those to the jars, she slid the tiny one back into her bag, then took the larger one up to the professor. "Thank you for the lesson," she said simply, setting her jar down amongst the others. "I hope you feel better soon."
That last part had slipped out before she could stop it, but she did mean it. She'd rather not have a professor turn into a zombie or die or anything. Either way, she had turned back to her workstation, writing down the homework, re-Scourgifying everything, and slipping the smaller things back into her bag before making sure the rest of the area was spotless too, and then she picked her things up and left. Time to figure out what to make bigger. Quote:

She didn't know why the Professor couldn't be the one to have he spoonful while she kept the jar but asking that question right now didn't seem all that smart--gasp, she was having a smart moment; no need to die right after, especially since this was the final class. She survived without getting herself blown up even once. GRIN.
Lex did as she was told and got most of the unction in the jar. "Here you go Professor...hope you feel better." and like not DIE before the start of next term--or until she graduated, but of course she wouldn't be saying that either. Then she left the class with what little unction she had.
What would she even do with it...? Quote:

Belle then copied down the homework and cleaned up her work station. She wanted to do it manually. Then she had to think what she would want to make larger. It had to be three inches. That should not be so hard.
As Belle packed up her bag, Belle then said to the Professor, "Well thanks for the lesson professor. I hope you feel better." Quote:
Originally Posted by Princesspower Sarah put on her gloves and began to but the brew into a jar. She had emptied the brew before remembering about the last spoonful so she took a spoonful out. She can use it for what she wanted. So what was for homework the spoon all the rest. She handed in the jar and looked around for a vial. Finding one, she placed the spoon inside. Great, now there was homeworks.
"Thank you for the lesson!" she said making her way out the door Quote:

She scooped the potion from the cauldron like she had been instructed and put it into a jar. The last spoonful amount, she spooned into a vial to take with her for her homework. Now what do I want to make larger? My bed of course...but then the dormitory would get too crowded, wouldn't it? She'd have to think about it.
She walked to the teacher's desk and handed in her jarred potion and earnestly thanked her for the lesson. "Thank you Professor Lafay for the lessons this year," she said in a sincere tone. And then she added something she thought the professor might appreciate hearing. "You give good instructions." And not that she wanted to be worried after any more, but Eliza just felt like she should say it. "I hope you start feeling better soon." She gave her a sad smile and the little first year left the classroom.
" You are all welcome," and in her usual annoyed tone she says, " I just hope you will remember it all. And thank you, I'm sure I'll feel better soon." Quote:

Okay, the Gryffindor understood that Professor Lafay was not doing well and her emotions were all over the place, but the same was happening to Sierra and sometimes it felt worse to be the one who had to watch it all happen.
Kurumi thought about ignoring the woman and was about to reach for another bat speel when Sierra's eye contact made her hesitate and drop her arm to her side.
Best not make this situation any worse...which is why the seventh year reluctantly returned to her seat and her cauldron.
Carefully lifting the blood, Kurumi dropped each drop in and waited for the appropriate color changes to take place before reaching for her wand. " Incrementum," she whispered, flicking her wand at her burner next to put out the fire before it was returned to her robe's pocket.
Vials out, Kurumi took one spoonful and kept that for herself before putting the rest into a larger one to turn in. After jotting down the homework and cleaning up her station, Kurumi set the vial on Professor Lafay's desk and simply bowed her head before returning to her things and packing up. She really had no idea what she wanted to use this unction on...and it was even harder to think of something when her thoughts were so distracted.
Maybe she should go outside and get some fresh air?
Homework written down, Kurumi was about to walk out of the classroom when she remembered something and scurried her way back to Professor Lafay's desk. " Professor," Kurumi said as she resisted the urge to bit down on her lower lip. " I just...I just wanted to say thank you for seven years of teaching me Potions." Because the woman was the only professor who had been there ALL seven terms of her Hogwarts experience and, while Kurumi had never really grown to like the subject, Treyen was right that she knew her brewing. " I'm sure, wherever your mother is, she is very proud of you Prefect Hollingberry." She said with a nod. " As am I..." she whispered. Quote:
Originally Posted by Macavity By his notes and the only full ingredient container in front of him, the re'em blood was the one thing left to be added. And sure enough, when Lafay spoke up once more she described the process to which it was to be added...drop by single drop. No doubt one needed to be careful to do it slowly and precisely to make it work the best or at all. Not to mention re'em blood wasn't exactly a cheap ingredient. Picking up the dropper, Gideon tentatively added the first drop, moving his hand away from the cauldron as he looked to watch and wait for the color change.
First pink.
Add another drop.
Next blue.
Add a final drop.
And then a deep, dark red.
When the progression of colors was complete, Gideon looked up back towards the front where Lafay still stood. She had drown her wand and it looked as if she wanted to say anything but froze. What was it? He waited with curiousity before the incantation needed was finally revealed. Right...Incrementum...not that he had known that before. Taking out his wand, he took a deep breath before completing the casting.
Point...raise up..."Incrementum."
With that being done, he turned the fire beneath his cauldron off with another movement of his wand , waiting for it to solidify. Gideon then slipped his gloves on and sat waiting for it to be a satisfactory thickness. Spooning it into a jar when it was, he got up and moved to hand it in before returning and cleaning up his belongings. With the final action of writing down the homework and taking the collection of the final remaining spoonful he was done and packed up.
"Good day, Professor and thank you for the lesson.," he said as he walked towards the door. "For all the lessons," he added adding the last as he remembered the significance of the end. And with that he left with a bittersweet feeling within him. " You are welcome Prefect Gert. I hope you will continue will your potioneering, you have great potential." She said to the boy. Quote:

He scooped up the unction and transferred it into a jar he scourgified while waiting for the potion to cool off, tightly securing the top for submitting. The rest of the spoonful he transferred onto a smaller screw top lid, then proceeded to clean up his workstation.
When he was done he took his things and approached the seated woman, forcing his face to remain pleasant even when internally he was cringing and flailing at her current state of health. As he submitted his jar along with the growing stock from other students he murmured "Thank you for... everything Professor Lafay. They've been most valuable." even if he didnt quite approve of her potions methods and sources. Just before he made the motion to leave he turned to face her "I do hope to see you around sometime even after Hogwarts Professor, catch up on things, and I'm bound to want to hear your expertise on certain topics I'm going to come across in my University studies... " he wasnt big on small talk, but it was his subtle way of telling her-- Get well. Please. " Mister Vanderbilt, if you need a recommendation to the Wizarding University, I hope you'll allow me to give you one." She said. Quote:
Originally Posted by PotterHeadforLife Oh, that was it? They were finished. Well, that was fast. Kat immediately wore her gloves and took a spoon. She took a spoonful of the unction and poured it inside a vial. It was only just for homework, not that she needed it to make something larger 10 times its size. The rest of the potion, Kat placed inside a jar.
The blonde approached the Potion Mistress and handed over her jar filled with Growth Unction. Once she placed it on top of her table, Kat looked at her. All her emotions flooding of losing Lafay, Kat's favorite Head of House. " Here, Professor," Kat said. " Thank you... for the wonderful lesson... and for everything."
Ugh. The tears must be fought back. Kat had to leave before Lafay sees the weakness in her. Turning around, Kat picked up a pace and started walking out the room's door. MUST NOT BE WEAK. " Miss Hudson. I do plan on returning next year." She said with a nod. This cure had better work... Quote:
Originally Posted by Magical Soul Louisa had her gloves already out from when they had to deal with the eyes. So she slipped them back on and brought an empty jar closer. With her wand she scourgified it from the outside and the inside before moving to the spoon. Time to scoop the unction! It wasn't very hard, and the potion did start to solidify. She filled the jar and left some for her homework. Taking off the gloves, she made a tag of her name, year and house and attached it to the full jar.
She added a few notes to her parchment ending the page and staring at it for a second, this was going to be her last potion taught in this class ever. Sigh. Louisa started packing her things, again taking a bit too much time, mounted her backpack and took the small bottle of unction in her hand tightly.
Keeping after Vickers again as he started toward the door, Louisa was very nervous to say anything to Lafay. She was very grateful to the woman for helping her out, subconsciously tucking her hair behind her ear. "Uhh.. I thank you, Mistress Lafay." Quickly running out the door behind her boyfriend. " Stay out of Knockturn Alley Prefect Carter... Head Girls, especially Ravenclaw ones, are smarter than that." She said to her retreating form... plus she wouldn't be around to re-grow the girl's hair again... Quote:

She bottled in then slipped the bottle in her pocket, so she could pack the rest of her things. She tuned out the details of the homework. She'd catch it later in the common room. Right now, there were more important things to do.
She slung her bag over her shoulder and made way to the front of the room. She tapped a chair with her wand, causing it to scoot a few feet across the floor and come to a stop next to her mother's chair. She took a seat, yet she didn't drop her bag to the floor. She had a feeling she wouldn't be here for long.
She glanced behind her and made sure nobody was in the general vicinity. "Really, ...what can I do for you?" she asked. The expression on her face was a mixture of trying to be as strong as possible and trying to keep from falling to pieces. "Anything--take care of Mephisto, maybe? Lucille?" The lab? Their house? " Mephisto is a mouser... he can take care of himself. Lucille is in a special place." Which, if Hecate didn't survive this new treatment, was charmed to reveal itself to Sierra with a note to saying The bat was hers until Ariadne needed one, then she could chose to either give it or Scarlett to her sister. " You need to take care of your father and your sister for me while I take care of myself. Now go." She said escorting her out the door and into the corridor and locking the classroom behind them for one more year...
