"Have they all been behaving Madame Curie?" he asked his baby. She gave a few sniffs of her nose as she looked up at him, before returning her interest to the students. Interpreting that as a yes, he started to remove the ingredients from the tray and organise them on his desk.
"N-" he started to say, but his gaze paused at Miss. Watson. There was some uh... stuff on her face. He hoped her friends had said something? If not, he would try and say something discreetly to her later. He knew how the young women were about their faces, and having attention on them. "Now, I hope you uhh, I hope you all had a good holiday?" he asked, looking around.
"Today I'd like you all to break into pairs. Whoever you want to work with is fine with me." He gave them a few minutes to break into their pairs and re-shuffle between their desks if need be.
...and there was the professor!
Ariadne fidgeted in her seat just watching him walk in with all those ingredients! This is what she had watched her whole life, and now she was getting a chance to do some of it herself! She watched him interact with is pet, who of course hadn't responded to Ariadne's greeting she'd given.
At the mention of the word 'pairs', Ariadne instantly began to scan the room for someone she wanted to work with. "Does anybody still need a partner?" she asked. Text Cut: Professor again! Quote:

He went to the basin, washed and dried his hands, and returned to his spot. “Well, uhh, t-today we are going to be working in pairs because one of you will be taking a sample of this potion,” he said, holding up a small vial of a very diluted elixir he had made just that morning, “And the other one will be brewing an antidote.” He smiled. Wasn’t this going to be fun?
“The elixir is one I made. It is not harmful in any way. Well… not actually harmful. It was designed to mimic the effect of a common poison. BUT it is a very diluted mixture. So, you won’t… you won’t uhh… die.” He cleared his throat again. He didn’t mean to say that. “One of you will ingest a few drops of this, and the other will brew an antidote to common poisons!” He had thought it was a good way to ease the students back into the rhythm of classes. A nice simple potion.
“You don’t need to worry about ingredients, I’ve got them all here.” He had a selection of Bezoars, standard ingredient, unicorn horns, and mistletoe berries. “When you’re ready, decide amongst yourselves which of you will be going first at brewing the potion, then when each of you have done that, we will swap!” He went to the blackboard behind him and wrote, with chalk;
He looked around and, just in case other students hadn't managed to find a pair, he added "If you're still looking for a partner, just uhhh.. r-raise your hand and I can pair you up." Though history reminded him that people didn't like it when the Professor paired people up.
OOC: Okay, so again, this isn’t a poison. It will just give you some mild side effects such as dizziness (please no fainting), drowsiness, slight headache, stomach ache, nausea/vomiting, coughing, sore joints, thirstiness, blurred vision, slight behavioural changes (crankiness, restlessness, irritability, or even euphoria and giggles… + any other mild behavioural changes you would like to RP), and any other MILD general side effects you would like to RP. You can have as few or as little side effects as you want to RP – I just hope you have fun with it! But nothing serious! No fainting, no dying etc.
Drinkers – RP your charactes coming up and getting a sample of the elixir from Professor Newton. It will only be a teaspoon in size, and he will give it to you in a little cup. Please don’t drink it until I post again.
Brewers – RP your characters coming up and getting the ingredients.
My next post will be the first few steps, where we will all get started. I’ll be posting again in 24ish hours. In the mean time, you can chat amongst yourselves, deciding who will go first, expressing your concerns, or excitement etc.
Only ONE person got to brew? SHE WANTED TO BREW! She just needed to find a partner who didn't mind that. It was also a POISON, so of COURSE she didn't want to be the one to do the sampling, even IF the professor had said it was diluted and was all okay. Ahem.
Well, there really wasn't anything else she could do unless she had a partner, so... "I still need a partner!" she said again, hoping there was SOMEBODY out there who still did, too. She raised her hand just like the professor asked her to. Maybe HE could be her partner! She was, after all, used to brewing with adults.
