The bright acidic shade of green became apparent in the boys potion and he made quick work of dumping the excess to reveal and preserve the shimmery sparkled pink part. He stuck it into a large jar and scourgified his tools before putting them away and also cleansing the work surface onto which he'd just brewed this most useful of potions. He gave Toby a pat on the back as the boy slipped out and he stayed for discussion.

Text Cut: Mr. Cossy

Cutty liked where this was going. They were going to talk about niches and needs and how people can be trained like puppets to buy what you want them to buy. At least that's how he saw it, until witches and makeup and pressure to be beautiful came into play, his hand, though was still in the air.

As I said before, we don't need to surrender to the society pressure." enthusiastically, she stood and said, raising her voice "We can change it! Let's throw out this potion in front of the Ministry!" She took the jar with her potion and shook it in front of her head, lowered it and then paused briefly to looked around checking the other's reactions. Then the girl added in a calm voice,

"The beauty of a person does not depend on the marks she or he has on her or his face. It's beyond. When I was a little girl I asked my grandma why she had never used a cosmetic to attenuate the appearance of the stretch marks on her belly. She answered me that each stretch mark on her belly reminded her of her children - my father and my aunts and she said it was wonderful as she loved her children and she was proud of them. She told me that all the marks we have on our skin show us that we have a history and I agree with her. Would you have erased the scar from Harry Potter's forehead? I don't think so... We don't need to erase or hide our marks... "

Without knowing what to do, she sighed and sat down. Her message was given.

Annabeth Glasswall. Glasswall. Annabeth. That was her name! Cutty committed that to memory as he digested all that she as saying...and she was MAD! Clearly! Throwing out a potion in front of the Minstry would only make you a target. His hand was still raised from Professor Culloden's remark and he said, "But I think you're missing the point if you take that route. Products which alter the appearance of one need not be marketed exclusively toward the witch population, when men can benefit just as well." His raised hand turned to point towards their Potions Master. "I mean look at how many wrinkles Professor Culloden has!"

Text Cut: Mr. Cossy Quote: Originally Posted by StarShine Looked like people were anxious to begin the discussion, and Cosgrach felt like he had given those who wanted to leave enough time to leave anyway. Moving to his desk, he sat down, not looking what was left on it just yet. Instead, he turned to those waiting for it. He was pleased with the faces he saw. He smiled lightly to himself. "So, some of you have already voiced their ideas," he said with this pleeeeaaaased demeanour. They could tell he enjoyed it. "Bart and this gentleman here (Andrew/Mordred) said girls are unnecessarily tiring themselves to be beautiful. Hufflepuff lady over there (Annabeth/Ivana R) said we don't need this potion, but we have an opposition from Ravenclaw (Adrienne/aaetha) because she thinks the society is forcing girls." He paused. Had he forgotten something? Misunderstood their points? They were welcome to correct him. "What do you think? Do we really need such beautifying products? Why do some people still buy them if you think such products are unnecessary, or why would anyone need them if you think they are necessary?" He was going to wait for them to explain further before explaining his opinion. "Please wait for others to finish talking, raise your hand or stand up and tell us your name before speaking." So that people would see who was speaking, and names were always helpful. Cutty liked where this was going.
