SPOILER!!: Professor, made her day.

Ilia was very happy that her train of thought, was indeed correct. She always felt very pleased with herself when she got something right, but potions was one of those classes in which she was even a little bit happier about it. She smiled softly and nodded back at the professor, silently thanking him. She listened to him intently as she noted every detail that he covered.

Her happy note taking came to a pause however when she heard her name spring forward from his lips. Not just her first name, the first one down on paper that pretty much every teacher / adult used. He didn't call her Freya......he ACTUALLY called her by the name that she identified with. He called her Ilia. She felt a soft pink shade flow to her cheeks as she shyly smiled and immediately looked back down at her parchment quickly and happily noting what he said. She had a feeling that she would really enjoy this class.

SPOILER!!: Instructions

If Ilia wasn't such a quiet person.....she probably would be making some sort of happy girly sounds, elated to get to work on making this potion. She double checked all of her ingredients and made sure that they were where she wanted them, ready to use. She double checked everything that she had written down and nodded to herself.

SPOILER!!: Notes

She could practically start humming as she, "Scourgify." cleaned her already clean cauldron and every utensil before touching any of her ingredients. Once she was satisfied that it was all squeaky clean and sterile.

Step one."Aguamenti." She carefully filled her cauldron, perfectly halfway. Alright, now was the part she was less confident with..... she whispered the spell to herself a few times "Ap....toh.....press...soo...rah.......Apto pressure." and it was time to give it a go.

Step two. Holding her wand ready, she gracefully made the vertical motion while confidently incanting, "Apto Pressure." Hopefully it would all go well. Now, on to the next step.

Step three."Incendio." She lit a flame underneath her cauldron and held a temperature gauge at the ready. She watched as the temperature rose and slowly dimmed her fire just a little. Going....rising....and 100. She kept her eye on the temperature in case she needed to adjust her flame as she worked. Considering it had not started to boil, she was fairly certain that she had succeeded in using the spell.

Step four & five. Now it was time for lovage! She placed both of her sprigs upon her small cutting board and meticulously chopped them up. She gently added them to her cauldron and immediately "Scourgify." cleansed everything she had just used while counting down EXACTELY five seconds. 5.....4....3...2...1...

Step six. She added the mistletoe berries with a pleased smile, watching her potion brew.

He'd repeat it again for everyone to hear it, because this was important. ---------------- "Another reason it is not fully dark is the intent, as Ilia," hopefully that was her name, "put it. You can make someone sad, but you can also make them happy." It was completely up to the intent. Yes, there were other potions for that, there was THIS one too, and the ingredients were rather common. "So, to sum up: it's only half dark, because it only changes the emotions and doesn't give the brewer any control of the actions. It also depends on intent and which emotion you create."** Ilia was very happy that her train of thought, was indeed correct.

The name is pretty straight-forward:"[/B] He wasn't creative when it came to names, okay?, "Emotional Change Potion." He tapped his wand on the blackboard, and the ingredients with the first few steps appeared. *"There's a spell as you can see. It's Apto pressure - Ap-toh* press-soo-rah -" did they get how to pronounce it?, "to apply pressure on the water so that it doesn't boil at 100 degree celcius." He paused to let them copy it, and continued: "Please go with the usual order: practice the spell - Ap-toh press-soo-rah - without your wands first, then practise the wand movement," he drew a straight, imaginary, vertical line with his wand, "and then combine the two only if you're sure you got it right."** Well, this wasn't a lethal spell that could go terribly wrong. If anything, it'd be obvious that it didn't work if the water boiled at 100 degree celcius. Still, he didn't want any complacency. He sat down on his chair to watch them. -------------- Cosgrach saw no problems that needed his attention, so he didn't get up from his chair and tapped his wand on the blackboard to reveal more steps. "I hope you've all cleaned your cauldrons and thermometers before adding water," he said, "and will continue to clean all the utensils before and after using." Did they even need a reminder at this point? He thought not, but he didn't want disasters. "Now, chop the lovage well and add it, wait for 5 seconds and add the berries immediately." It sounded easy, right? If Ilia wasn't such a quiet person.....she probably would be making some sort of happy girly sounds, elated to get to work on making this potion.
