Oh man. OH MAN. Love potions. Was Professor Culloden for real? She knew for a FACT that he knew all about puberty, uh huh. Wasn't it obvious then that unleashing all that love stuff on a bunch of students would end in some kind of disaster? Norah was willing to put her money on the classroom exploding or something before the end of the lesson. It was too bad, too, 'cause he hadn't even eaten any of the oatmeal cookies she'd bakes for him. Well, y'know. Tried to bake for him. They'd come out all lumpy, but it was the thought counted, right? There was no possible way they could ever taste as horrid as they had last time, which had to count as an accomplishment.
She dipped her quill in ink and began to record all the lovey dovey stuff Culloden had written on the board, looking up to read the next line and catching a glimpse of Yoongi from the corner of her eye just as her hand gave a completely involuntary spasm and knocked her ink well all over her desk. UHHHHH. Had Culloden done something to the AIR in here? It sure was feeling very strange. He was probably trying to teach some grand lesson on how dangerous love was; that sounded like something he'd do. She pulled out her wand and cast a quiet "Scourgify" on the ink-covered surfaces 'till they were all good as new, then looked up at Professor Culloden with a polite smile. Nothing had happened. Nothing at all. Just at him. Not at anybody else. Yoongi was her FRIEND there was no reason why she should feel the need to look at him during a lesson. Unless his hair was on fire or something, but that was a different story and probably much more dangerous than love potions. Plus, it was very nice hair.
Right. Potion brewing. That was going to happen. Norah skimmed her notes to make sure they matched what was written on the board (for someone who said concentrating was so important, Professor Culloden had sure slipped up in assigning the most distracting potion in the history of ever), then cast "Scourgify" on her cauldron AND gloves AND knife AND mortar AND pestle, just to be safe. She wasn't going to give Culloden the satisfaction of knowing she'd forgotten something important because of this love stuff which wasn't even relevant to her at all because she was already entirely convinced that it was going to be centuries before love became a real live thing that made her do lots of stupid things that got people on the covers of silly magazines. Nuh uh. No way. So she began by using her gloved hands to separate the sneezewort petals from all eight flower heads, only pausing for a moment to shoot a sideways grin at Yoongi (the hilariousness of the word 'sneezewort' was 786% warranting of a grin, okay?), before picking up her freshly cleaned knife to chop up her alihotsy leaves. Next came a crushing of the moonstone, which was easy peasy and especially fun because smashing things made her feel like a giant, then her gloves were shed in favor of her wand. "Aguamenti!" Aaaaaand a full cauldron. She shot one last look at Yoongi to make sure he was still alive--a noble cause, obviously--before adding all the sneezewort (HA!) petals.
