OOOOOOH HEHEHE, Cosgrach shook his head at her playfully as he laughed. It was a sign that she finally accepted him, though, and he felt accomplished.

"It's great to see you on this bright day, Sophie." Hiz gaze followed her, and HAHA, her look at the picture.

He knew he'd done the right thing to wake them up for the class.




"Morning, Mr. Branxton. It was busy and great, thank you. How was yours?"

Wasn't he going to look at the picture, though? No?

Shame.




"Miss Beverly!" Cosgrach exclaimed - another GREAT student, just a bit shy but with excellent potions understanding. It was great to see her again. His eyes followed her too, and he giggled like a small boy when her eyes were glued on the picture.

Wonder what she might do during class?




Oooooh, a new face! They were potential cauldron-exploders in Cosgrach's mind, but this one had the decency to introduce herself, so he was going to be easy on her. And anyway, he was far too excited to feel negatively, so he slightly bowed at the girl.

"Welcome, Miss Cruz," he said, "Professor Cosgrach Culloden here."

She sat at the back? Okay. He could live with that. And it would affect less people if she did explode a cauldron, so he liked this arrangement.




Caelennnn! Cosgrach grinned at the girl. She sure had some brains there. He liked that.

"It was pleasant, thank you," he said, "how was yours?"

And the way she laughed. HEHE. Cosgrach was laughing too.




"Another Strand, then?" Cosgrach smiled, and then it turned into a HUGE grin.

He was one of the best. HA! Sander KNEW how to make this man happy, and that the way to his heart was very well through compliments, and that -

He chuckled softly as his chest puffed out with PRIDE. "Please tell him my 'thanks'? You're very welcome at this class." Ehehehe, HEHE. What a GREAT way to start a class!




And another new face. "Morning, welcome," Cosgrach said, and kindly let the boy fumble with his notebook. He was in high spirits, see? He could tolerate those. And anyway, the boy looked to be a decent person, so Cosgrach liked him already.

Unless, he exploded a cauldron, of course, but no one would do that these days, would they?

"And your -" he started to say, but the boy was already walking inside, so Cosgrach let it go this time. He'd learn his name later.




"Lux, welcome!" he exclaimed and smiled at another one of his good students. "I did, yes, and yours?"

And that snort? Hehehe. Yeah, you could say he enjoyed that sort of things.




"Miss Moretti," he greeted her, "nice to see you as well." He bowed formally and watched her too. Then he tilted his head as if he was copying her movements.

Mhmm. He wondered what she would do after class too.




"Marigold, girl," he smiled at the HAPPY person, "it was fine. How about yours?" She probably didn't hear that though, because she'd started laughing, and it infected him as well. He laughed alongside and shook his head to himself.

He liked this term better already.




"Morning, son," Cosgrach greeted the boy and - teehee, he could TELL he was EXCITED. HEY! So was Cosgrach. And he was sure the potion they would brew would keep him awake.




"Morning, Dylan," Cosgrach greeted, and was surprised with himself. He remembered people's names! HEY! Could they believe that? Because he couldn't! He marvelled at his brain and forgot to watch this boy.

Well. He'd better NOT sleep or else, there would be consequences.




Was she looking for someone? Did she remember THAT BLASTED DAY as vividly as Cosgrach did? Because Cosgrach was still VERY wary of her, could she tell? He hoped she could, with the suspicious look he gave her as she peeked her head BEFORE greeting him.

"It was uneventful, thank you," he said through narrowed eyes. Had she just said 'trust'? Funny, really funny. If this was some sort of word-games, not that she looked like she was capable of those, mind you -

Well. Thankfully, before his suspicions escalated, the next student distracted him. Thankfully.




............

............................

Why was the world in slow motion? The way he followed silly boy's gaze and found Alexa, or the way he breathed with difficulty, or even the way his mind worked. All so slow. Even his anger was slow to reach his face, so when he spoke, his voice was threateningly calm.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, Dima," he addressed the little boy, "d'you mind telling Alexa to meet me at my office after class, please?"

There was going to be blood.




No greetings? Okay. Cosgrach could live with that. He shrugged to himself, was actually annoyed with this one's reaction, and turned to the next student.

This one would need to show extra effort for the Professor to like him.




"Hello, mister," he greeted him, but didn't insist, since the boy didn't want to speak. He couldn't do anything about those type, y'know? And anyway, it was sometimes better that they didn't speak.

Heh.


"And I'm Cosgrach Culloden, pleased to see you, Cinnamon," he told her and watched her to see her reaction.

...ehehehe, nice one. One of the best reactions so far: jaw dropping open. Hehehe.




Well, FINALLY.

"Finally, you've decided to show up." He tried to sound as if he was heartbroken, but HAHA who was he kidding? He enthusiastically high-fived her back and laughed. "I think you'll like it." Though, it may also not be her type of thing. Hmm. It was hard to tell. In any case, he was EXCITED and so she should be!

His eyes followed her as well, of course, and he giggled like a little boy.

"I try," he said, and nodded to himself. She sat in her usual seat. Good.




Ehehehe, he chuckled along. "It is, yeah." YEAH. He'd lifted a muggle car once, how cool was that? "Morning. It was very nice, and I hope yours was, too." Oh, he liked such cute students. And look, she was even going to wash her hands! How very... potionistic.




"Morning, Miss Wisteria." His greeting was just as cheery, though it wasn't odd for him. He liked to torture students at that early hour, and he'd certainly taken a potion to make his mind clearer whereas poor kiddos didn't.

Ha.




"Hello, Miss..." Sleepy. She was a new, SLEEPY face. Cosgrach didn't like those. His eyes were going to be on her.




"Morning, Adrienne." He smiled at her formally back. Some Ravenclaws, missing the fun in life with their high aristocracy behaviour.


...what even!?

You know what? "HELLO, Melek! It's SO good to see you!" Take that! Hmpf.

Did she know HE was the professor? Did she?

Good gracious. Students these days.




"Welcome, Benny!" Hope he didn't mind being called 'Benny'? Naaaah, even if he did, he probably was too sweet to decline a professor as cool as Cosgrach.

Hehehe.




And Cutty showed up.

And Cutty didn't greet him.

And Cosgrach couldn't even say anything about it, but just watched him pass and take a seat next to Sophie. Well, at least Sophie would be able to watch him.

Hopefully.



West Odessa. Cosgrach frowned a little, but then smiled. "Morning, Mr. Odessa."



Cosgrach smiled at the cute lil boy.

"Hello, boy," he greeted him cheerfully and was excited to see him snigger. This was going to be good.




And this girl (Berry?) greeted him too. He felt better. Much better.

"Hello, err, Miss." Whatever her name. Sorry, he couldn't remember it.




Oh, Kevi -

BAHAHAHA, Cosgrach actually LAUGHED. His forehead - WHAT was that even?

"Hello!" he greeted, and didn't even hiss, because laughing was even better than hissing.

Haha, ha! He had to congratulate whoever did that.



Was there a Ravenclaw boom this year? "Morning, Lady," he greeted her back, and eyed her being aaaaall aristocracy again.

Huh. He still couldn't understand how Sophie ended up in that house.




And another Ravenclaw. Cosgrach nodded at her, and was pleased to see she washed her hands. Good girl.




Collarbin... Collarbin... Collarbin...

Oooooh, Alexa, you are DEAD!

"Hello, hello," he greeted her through gritted teeth, and didn't watch where she sat, because thinking of how he should kill Alexa was better.




And another one passed without a greeting, but Cosgrach was used to it by now, so he shrugged to himself. He hoped they could be good students, at least.


He closed the door once Vesper'd entered and turned to the class. He was stading at the right side of the picture not to block their sight, and grinned at them.

"Welcome to the first class of this term," he said, "I'm Cosgrach Culloden, for those who don't know me, and this is my second term teaching." So, NO 'Collarbin, Dima and Lucy, see? C-U-L-L-O-D-E-N. His eyes were on Alexa, though, and his teeth were clenched momentarily before he relaxed himself. Today was a beautiful day, and it would be even better when he and she had a chat at his office.

"Today, we'll brew a strength potion that will enable you to," he took a deep breath not to laugh, "lift a car like I'm doing in this picture. Not just for entertainment, though. It was used to carry all kinds of material in the past, beginning from ancient times, for building and stuff," yeah yeah, he didn't know why else people moved stuff and they shouldn't question that, that wasn't the point, "so we see some of those historical buildings thanks to it." He grinned proudly. They could tell it was one of his favourite potions. "It is very easy to brew, and it is good for anaemia, lack of red blood cells in the blood. It makes you dizzy and causes lack of strength, so if you don't want to bother with a proper health potion," or lack the ability to do it, "I suggest you brew this. It's also good for lack of iron, so let's start brewing!"

He didn't want to fold his amazing picture, but the kids should also learn this potion, so he tapped his wand at it and it folded itself to open the blackboard.



"As dragon heart is actually expensive, and rare," he eyed them all for it to sink, "you have to use it carefully. One heart should be enough for all the class, and uh," he glanced at his empty table, "I'll bring it and the scale while you do the first step." No one sight problems, he hoped? He didn't need to read it out himself, right?

Right.

With that, he quickly opened the door of store room and entered to get them.


OOC: The class has started, so please do not post your characters arriving late. Just act as if they have been there all along.

The class will continue about 11 hours later.


“Hmm?” Ethan kept his eyes on the board, and didn’t exactly catch what Professor Culloden said…or asked. The drawing was too distracting. He snapped out of it though when the door behind them closed and the Potions Master introduced himself to the class. Ethan underlined Culloden’s name on his notebook, noting that it was clever of him to take down all of the professor’s names before he got to their respective classes; all thanks to their Head Girl for posting the important information in their Common Room.

Ethan watched as the potions master explained the “Strength Potion” that they will be doing, and took down notes.

Scribble-dee-doo.

Two kilograms of Dragon Heart. “Whoa.” Ethan whispered to himself and bit his knuckles. “Mordred will be mortified.” He thought and continued to write down the rest of the ingredients and the first instruction. Powdered Griffin Claw…Unicorn Tail Hairs. Well, it was a good thing Dragon Boy was no longer in Hogwarts. He’d probably protest and walk out of this class if he was still there.

The third year Snake got his cauldron, and was about to fill it with water, but paused when another boy called out if anybody needed help in performing the Cleaning Charm. “Of course!” Didn’t his Uncle Max told him to always, always clean his stuff before and after using them? Ethan nodded and casted the cleaning spell on his cauldron…and practically all of his stuff just to make sure that he won’t screw up his first potion.

Once he was done cleaning, he filled his cauldron with two litres of water, then added the Unicorn tail hair one by one.

One…and two.
