"Last three steps, and very easy ones," he announced again, too energetic to sit still now. He was walking among them and smiling at whoever caught his gaze (though he was careful not to pass by Kevin. He didn't want to smile at Kevin.). "Our sixth step is, waiting for ten minutes and adding one snake fang." Very, very easy, right?

Right.

He reached the back wall of the class and leaned on it. Then he waved his wand at the blackboard and it updated itself:

OOC: If you wish, you can post your character speaking to someone in these ten minutes. :3 You don't have to finish this step in one post. Just, as always, don't go overboard with posting and chatter. <3

I'll post again 6 hours later.

Wait for ten minutes? There wasn't really anything for him to do except clean his station, but Culloden probably wouldn't appreciate it if he lifted up the whole thing and dumped it in the washbasin. Which he could DO because he was SUPER STRONG. Grrr.

So it was time for help again.

Mikey wasn't around anymore and Grayson was allll the way over there, and the Gryffindor Prefect would most likely be cross again if he didn't ask her. Plus she was right next to him! Easy peasy. Maybe he'd be hard to teach and she'd just do the cleaning FOR him.

"Hey Lex? Can you show me how to clean my station?" Pause. "Please?"

Pleaaaase?

Text Cut: Notes

There we go, no more of that sensitive stuff. Good. She could live with this and could convince herself the kid wasn't so bad, like she'd done back when he walked into the class and called the man 'Collarbin'. Good times. Lex tried focusing again on the Professor only to hear they'd have to be waiting TEN MINUTES before they could do anything else. Was this his way of trying to get them to clean up? If she could guess the potion was coming to its end and they'd have to be doing that anyway.

Eh. Might as well while she had nothing better to do.

"Scourgify." She cast a couple times to make sure everything on the table got some cleaning. Couldn't leave anything not cleaned, it'd only give Collarbin more ammunition and she felt she'd done good skirting detention so far...maybe.

Just as she organized the last of everything she used into a neat section of her desk she heard Dima ASKING HER. Lookit that, he was a fast learner. Lex approved.

"Sure thing. What you wanna do is make an 'S', like this," She said, drawing one with her wand so he could see. "Don't make it too exaggerated, it has to be just right, then you try the incantation 'Scourgify' while aiming at the things you want clean." That was simple enough, yeah? "Go on, give it a try." While she waited on this ten minutes to be up.

SPOILER!!: Steps 6 (Part 2), 7, 8

"Pick that snake fang up," he said threateningly calmly as he pointed at the fang by Beverly, "and wait for me outside, please. I haven't decided yet, and if you are correct, after all," he snorted - he clearly doubted that, "you will get your chance to finish the potion. I don't want to hear any whining. Now if you don't mind, I'll deal with responsible people." He eyed them all, and walked away to the blackboard.

"CLASS!" His voice was on edge, but he tried to contain his anger, "put the fire out, add the other snake fang and stir once counter clockwise. You should have been able to see all the contents inside your potion up until now, but once you carry out these two steps, it will thicken and turn bright yellow. Then we drink it." He eyed the boy to see if he was out yet. He also waved at the blackboard to add the new and last two steps.

"Now, the potion will last for 12-14 hours. You will feel it's leaving you, so that it gives you a chance to stop doing whatever you are to save your life." He looked into a few eyes, and he looked calmer.

"Drink a cup, and one cup only. To have a longer effect, drink another cup when its effect is gone, instead of drinking more. If you drink more than enough, you will be dizzy. Too dizzy." So dizzy they wouldn't be able to stand. Clear? Clear. Good.

"After drinking, sit down for a few minutes for your body to adjust. Then, once you feel fresh, you can go around being super strong. You will have a perfect sense and control of your strength, so don't worry while handling things."

He smiled again. "There are different types of strength potions, and this one is the strongest. You don't have to add the heart and the Re'em blood, but then the effect will be reduced to one tenth. You have to brew slightly differently then, which will show up on the blackboard soon." He paused and thought if he forgot to mention something...

"Oh. One last thing. Or two." Two, yes. "To conserve it for a week, which you should do for homework, take a cup to drink now and add a cube of ice into the cauldron. After a week, I'm afraid it will lose the effect quickly." Shrug. "And most importantly perhaps, drink in one go, while still hot.

"That's all for now. Go finish your potions and put aside a cup. Don't drink yours, but drink from someone else's cup, and either wrist-wrestle with a friend, or try to break a record in this muggle toy I'll bring in a moment."

He walked inside the small store room again and magically moved a High Striker inside the class. He put it in front of the blackboard, and grinned at them.

"It's really easy! You'll try to ring the bell at the top, here," he touched with his finger to show them, "by hitting the lever here hard enough. You'll get two chances with this toy. The ones that hits the lever will get a treat. Also, those who beat their friends at wrist wrestling." He grinned at them again. "Don't worry. The High Striker's enchanted, so it won't break.

"Are there any questions?"

OOC: To get full credit from this activity, you must post twice. The deadline is Friday 19.00 GMT/14.00 EST.

You don't have to keep track of who drank from who's cup, so as not to drink from that person's potion: That part is purely IC and won't affect your points if no one drinks your cup.

There is one thing that Cosgrach didn't mention, however - that how well the griffin claw was crushed determines the strength that potion will give. So, rate how well your character crushed the claw on a scale of 1-10, but don't say it until someone asks to drink your potion. Then, PM/IM that person for others not to see it to keep it fair.

During the activity, though, the bigger number doesn't automatically win: Please also consider your character's normal body AND mental strength, as those DO come into play as well. During posting for the activity, please add the rating of that potion in the title part so that your friend and I can see how strong that potion is.

So what am I trying to say? I'll grade this part by how realistic and creative you are playing. Now, have fun with super strength!

.......Aaaaand it was rounding up to be about that 10 minutes. Time hadn't dragged quite like she'd thought it would. Maybe it was helping Dima and getting her own station cleaned. It could hardly have been anything else. Lex reached for one of the snake fangs and added it to the solution like the Professor had said. She had been a bit sidetracked though and ended up having to check the board for the rest of the instructions.

After putting the fire out she grabbed the other snake fang and dropped it into the cauldron as well. Don't ask her why turning the fire off made all that much a difference with the second fang, it was probably in a book somewhere she'd never find.

Lex quickly scourgify-ed her wooden spoon then gave the potion one--exactly one--stir in a clockwise motion. There. That should have...been it....Potions Professor say whaaaaat??

They'd have to be trying out each other's potions? She hated saying it but she agreed with Odessa. The only brewing she trusted was her own. Oh dear sweet Merlin. Lex glanced over at Dima. What if he wanted her tasting his potion and she dropped dead?? Yeah.........there was a problem.
