As students came up to get their ingredients, and their little drink of elixir, he gave smiled and nods, but Mr. Meriwether had brought a chuckle to the man. Art gave him the taster. From the corner of his eye he saw Miss. Neverwinter slide down the seat a little. Perhaps if she saw just how fun her classmates were having brewing and drinking, perhaps she’d feel like joining in. Otherwise… well, otherwise he was out of ideas.
He walked to the blackboard and wrote the method of the potion on the board for the students to reference.
He turned back to face the class, ready to get started!
“Okay now, everyone has their ingredients and their little cup of the elixir?” he asked, looking around. “Err… those who are drinking the elixir may do so now, and those brewing the antidote can get started now.”
Art himself had set up his own space with the equipment necessary to brew the potion. He added one bezoar to the mortar, and used the pestle to crush that stone into a very fine powder. “Now, you want to make sure that you put your elbow into it. Crush it into a powder as fine as you can. Any chunky bits might affect your potion.” He carefully tilted his mortar so that they could see his own very fine powder of bezoar.
OOC: I’ve modified the method slightly, so it doesn’t exactly match up to the Pottermore method. Removed the wand-use, and waiting 40 minutes. IC this is just Art’s tried and true method.
Drinkers: Drink your elixir and start having fun with those MILD side effects - 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.
Brewers: Start up!
If you still don’t have a partner, that’s okay! Just pretend you do, and you can still RP taking the ‘poison’ elixir, and then brewing (whichever order you want). If you DO have a partner, I think about 5 posts each for the brewer, minimum, and at least 3 for the drinker. Feel free to do more if you feel sprinkled with creativity dust. I’ll resume in about 2 days, and then swap, so that those brewing can try the ‘poison’ elixir, and those having been poisoned can brew the antidote.
You don’t need to wait for your partner to post between your posts.
I’m still here, checking in as much as possible, so if you want Art’s attention, just flag it in the subject box and we will get to it as soon as we can. I’ll brew along with the class, but please don’t wait for me! Keep going at your own pace.
DRINKERS: DO NOT drink the Antidote to Common Poisons until Art tells you to!

... and at least SOMEONE wanted to be his partner. He liked working with his own kind, Gryffindors, though he didn't know much about the first year. Bella. He knew that much, really. Their interactions had been limited until now, and he was sure they would continue to be once the lesson ended. Like. He was a fifth year. BUT.. for now, yes, "Sure, sounds good to me," he even shifted over slightly to make room for her at his table. "I'll grab the ingredients," he offered, giving her time to grab whatever of her own things she might need or wand.
Hands full upon his return he placed them on their table, contemplating how simple yet effective the recipe and methods seemed to be.
But before he could ask what Bella wanted to do this lesson, cause like, ladies choice... they were given more instructions. And it was confirmation, like, simples.
With the go-ahead to start, Zeke turned to his partner. "Did you have a preference? Brewing? Drinking?" Bella was happy when Zeke agreed to be her partner. She listened carefully to the Professor Newton's instructions as she moved all of her things beside Zeke, ready to start the antidotes they would be brewing. So each of them would have a chance to be the guinea pig and be cured of the effects of the elixir. This ought to be fun, she couldn't wait to start mixing. There was something about potions that everyone in her family had a nature born knack for this particular subject.
Since Zeke had gotten the ingredients she decided to be the drinker first. "I don’t mind being the drinker first,” Bella replied, before getting up to get the elixir and once she had her portion she made her way back to their table. When they were given the okay to begin Bella looked down at the contents of the little cup. “Bottoms up.” She hoped that the side effects wouldn’t be too terrible and that Zeke was good at potions.
