It so warm and cozy in the Potions dungeon. There was no need for heavy sweaters/cloaks. All she need was rain gear and a hat. She loved the heating charms put in place by Professor Canterbury. It made her feel more at home/should she say relaxed. Vivienne sat down and started taking notes. Notes were important in her eyes.
[TEXTCUT=Board]Please take a seat And don’t look under the sheet. The class will be shortly.[/TEXCUT]
She sat and waited for her friends to arrive. She got told by Canterbury not to look under the sheet so she didn't. She thought what it might be though...
With the door open the students started rolling it, the first of them was Vivi, Ciara looked up as the Ravenclaw girl went to take her seat. Without a word she started taking note? Maybe. Who knew. Ciara went back to add one more thing to her parchment.
SPOILER!!: Jessa Quote:

Jessa hesitated a moment at the door, peering in to see whether the Professor had brewed some sunshine in a bottle or something because THIS was not the typical look of the dungeon, not at all. The Ravenclaw blinked a few times, having walked through the dungeons in the dim light as she had, the sudden brightness was a little jarring to say the least and she wasn't sure how she felt about it just yet.
Dungeons weren't bright. That sorta defeated half the purpose of them.
"Hello Professor." She greeted, moving to her usual workstation. Were it not for the sign on the board, she'd have immediately checked whatever might have been under the white sheet. Such a lucky thing she'd caught a glimpse of it just as her fingers tugged at the corners of the sheet. Curiosity was a hell of a thing to possess when you were told you would have to ignore it for now.
Her hand rose. "Since we aren't meant to look under the sheet, can you tell me what it is?"
Yes she assumed it was meant to be a surprise for some big reveal later (which never made sense to the young girl, this was a lesson not a game show) but she just REALLY wanted to know now. The longer she remained in suspense was the more she fidgeted with the sheet she wasn't meant to look under.
Was there a spell that helped you see through fabric without being detected? Would Derf know?
Was whatever was under there light sensitive? That would explain both the bright lights (for demonstration) and the sheet (to protect it til the demonstration). Huh. Now she wanted to know even more. Perhaps she would have to stop thinking about it altogether.
So far this lesson was a Ravenclaw invasion though she was never surprised to see Ravenclaws be the ones first through the classroom doors. As the year progressed Ciara had gotten a bit more comfortable with names, and remembering them. ”Hello, Miss Cambridge.”
Ciara got needing something from off of her shelf. When Miss Cambridge ask her about what was under the sheet. Walking past a empty workstation she lifted the sheet just enough for herself to see. ” I’m pretty sure if I told you right now. It would giveaway the whole point of the lesson.” She put the sheet back over.
SPOILER!!: Zoryn Quote:

"What's up, Professor C!?!" The extra heat and brighter room made it a lot easier to sort of want to be in class today. Though potions wasn't really something that'd help her much in the real world.... So she didn't exactly feel keen on this particular lesson.
WHAT WAS UNDER THE SHEET? HOW COME THEY COULDN'T LOOK?
The board said they couldn't look under it... But it said absolutely nothing about poking it and feeling it. The first year took this as a 'go ahead' to sit at her workstation and poke at the hidden object. Hmmmmm.... Maybe she could get the general shape of it??? How come all the Professors kept everything a secret?
She went over to the shelf and got a vial from it and headed back to her seat. One the way back to her desk she gave Miss Spinnet a smile. ”Good morning, Miss Spinnet.” Both heading back to the their desk and workstations.
SPOILER!!: Henry Quote:
Originally Posted by emjay Was it just him or was it even brighter than usual in here? Not that Henry minded so much, but the classroom seemed to get gradually brighter as the year wore on. And he couldn't exactly put his finger on it, but it somehow made the atmosphere in here different.
"Hi, Professor," he greeted her cheerfully as he walked past, adding a smile for good measure, and looking to find a seat. He chose to sit at Jessa Cambridge's table. Even though she was a few years younger than him, he knew she at least seemed very bright and Potions was not exactly his best subject. He could definitely do with sitting next to Potions-smart people and hopefully nothing would distract him too terribly today.
"Hi, Jessa," he smiled at the Ravenclaw, his attention soon turning to the sheet clearly covering something at the table. "Oh.. what is that?" he asked no one in particular. Sure, he saw the directions on the board not to look, but one could not help to be curious when such a thing was basically thrust in his face.
Now that she was back into her seat. She smiled back at Mister Whittebrook. ”Hello Mister Whittebrook.”
SPOILER!!: Kirk Quote:

He was a feeling a bit groggy, but not badly enough to not look presentable. "Hello Professor." He spoke as he entered before taking a workstation to stay at.
There was something under the sheet. Kirk looked up at the board to read it before his face went blank. He wasn't that interested in the sheet until he was told not to look under it. Instructions like that seemed to peak his curiosity, enough to listen as Jessa questioned it. Could he duplicate the sheet to make a cozy blanket if they couldn't at least peek inside it? He waited with the others until then.
Hmmm someone seemed to be a bit tired looking. ”Hello Mister Forsfelle.” Greeting the Ravenclaw boy with a smile.
SPOILER!!: Stasy Quote:
Originally Posted by SilverTiger Potions still wasn’t one of Stasya’s favorite subjects, just due to potion ingredients and having to use creature parts.

Maybe it was just optimism, that one day they wouldn’t have to use creature parts for the assigned potion and she wouldn’t want to protest. Plus, she definitely didn’t dislike Professor Canterbury. It wasn’t her fault the subject she taught was evil.
She had to blink several times as she had walked into the classroom, though. Since when had it been so bright in here? She couldn’t remember it being so bright before, and she had turned to look back out at the corridor to make sure she was still in the dungeons. Still dim and dreary out there in the corridor, which only made the lightness in the room that much weirder. She realized her eyes had adjusted though, so after that moment she’d walked further into the classroom, giving the professor a smile. “Hi Professor Canterbury,” she added, even as she saw where she wanted to sit.
Henry and Jessa were at the same table. It just meant she had to go over there. Even if she didn’t like Potions, she could sit with some of her favorite people. Slipping into one of the remaining chairs at the table, she gave them a grin. “Hi!,” she said brightly, eyeing the sheet covered whatever at the workstations in front of them. “What do you think’s under there?”
”Hello Miss Dalgaard-Volkova.” Maybe she should have had a warning about the better lighting in the room, compared to the corridor. It was quite a shock to the eyes, she supposed.
SPOILER!!: Derf Quote:

He was sure he hadn't done that much cleaning in lessons before aaaaaaaaand he still wasn't so good with Cleaning Charms so he was likely not able to do it even if they were asked.
OOOOOOOOOH CLOTH?! What was under it?!
Offering the professor a chipper wave as he sped through the door and towards an empty seat, he was PLEASED to see who he had JUST SO HAPPENED to sit next to.
"Profes-sor promis-sed that there wouldn't ever be anything dangerous-s," he informed his friend as he got his textbook out and set it on his station. "How about...you tug down on one s-side and me the other s-so we can get the cloth all tight and maybe s-see the s-shape better?" Because they just couldn't look UNDER the cloth but they could touch it and stuff...which seemed to be what Zoryn was thinking TOO. Great minds.
She watched Derf walked into the classroom, she returned the wave and added a smile for him.
SPOILER!!: Shay Quote:

"Hello Professor", Shay said, trying not to squint. Thank Merlin the room was nice and warm. Given the precedent set by her other professors, she was afraid they'd be brewing some potion out by the lake. Mercifully, that was not the case. Shay went over to her workstation and sat down. Then she began to set up her equipment for the lesson.
She watched to see what Zoryn and Derf would do with the suggestion Derf had made. This should be pretty interesting. ”Good morning, Miss Morris.” Giving the Gryffindor a big smile.
SPOILER!!: Nicholas Quote:
Originally Posted by lemon This class was the WORST. Nicky didn't have a knack for cooking (which was what he considered making potions to be), and he didn't like that a single mistake could cost him his life. But by this point in his schooling, with his low level of expertise, that was the case with most subjects.
"Good morning, Professor Canterbury," the Hufflepuff greeted as he entered the blinding classroom. Merlin, what had she done with the place? Little beads of sweat were already forming on the back of Nicholas' neck due to the added heat, and he was squinting like crazy. He probably seemed ill.
Disgruntled, as usual, he made his way to a seat.
”Good morning, Mister Tate.” She said with a smile. May it was getting quite toasty in here now but she was sitting behind the fireplace, she could of course keep the door open to keep from getting too hot.
SPOILER!!: Oliver Quote:
Originally Posted by littledhampir You couldn't just make Olly sit down in front of a sheet and tell him he wasn't allowed to look under it. That was just mean. It was practically torture. Sure, he wouldn't look under it because that's what the rules said and he didn't want to get in trouble. But he wanted to really bad. And he was dying. He leaned real close and rest his head on his hands. His eyes were fixed on the sheet and he wasn't likely to stop staring anytime soon. Not until the mysterious contents were revealed.
Ciara seen the Slytherin perfect slide in with any acknowledgement Mmmm maybe wasn’t feeling well today, or wanted to get the lesson started and over with matter what it was she seen him come and she at least knew he was here.
SPOILER!!: Vivian Quote:
Originally Posted by Kimothy And the next class was pretty much just a waltz from her common room. Vivian particularly liked Potions for this main reason. Even when she decided to leave her dorm five minutes before class began, she didn't have a single doubt that she'd be late. However, she wasn't going to risk so here she was, just a few seconds away from the Slytherin common room, where she came from.
"Good morning, Professor," Vivian greeted and made her way to her normal seat. HMMMM... that sheet was odd and it caught her eye immediately. Also, it sparked her curiosity, but the note specifically said not to look under it. But... ugh. She really wanted to know. The Slytherin sort of had a staring contest with the sheet until looking at the Professor again. "What's under it, Professor? Pardon my curiosity, but it's bothering me." She'd rather know from the woman herself if attempting to remove the sheet would cause any funny business. Best stay on the safe zone.
”Good morning Miss Fairfield.” She said with a smile. ”Soon you can lift sheet and you will know. All in good time.” Though Ciara had to admit that she liked watching the reactions of the students not being able to look under the sheet. It was good that she knew they could control themselves enough not to look over but come up with alternate ways to figure it.
SPOILER!!: Liv Quote:

Ahem, Olivia had arrived. In better spirits than she'd been in weeks, the blonde confidently sashayed into the bright classroom; her school bag resting high on her shoulder. An important decision had been made, you see. SO IMPORTANT...and it'd left her feeling lighter than she had in months. It was actually terribly simple, and when the answer had come to her, Liv had felt quite stupid for not thinking of it sooner.
What would be would be.
That was it. Something so small and uncomplicated in it's design, but powerful.
"Shove over, Tate." Being the girl she was, Olivia spotted her Potions!challenged friend and made an approach. Today, Nicky would be working with her and he'd get the best potions grade he'd ever received..... to, you know, make up for the incinerated ice sculpture. Nah, he wasn't mad at her for it, but...Well, she'd still felt terrible. As Olivias will do.
"Professor Canterbury! I'm loving the extra lighting." Yep, new day, new Liv.
It was nearly time to begin the lesson. She would give a few more minutes for more to arrive then she would start, after the next student came in. ”Hello Miss Phillips. Thank you. I think it makes it easier to do see what you are doing.” After your eyes got adjusted to them. And seeing what you were doing was also important in brewing potions.
Okay that was it time to start.
She decided that it was time to start and she would leave the door open for the lesson. She rose up from behind her desk. ”Good morning everyone! Welcome to today’s potions lessons. I am sure you are all curious about what is under the sheet. You will find out very soon. But first I want to hear what you all know about Healing potions. Anything you know about them would be great contribution to the lesson.” She walked around to the front of her desk. OOC: Thanks for coming! Class has officially started so please keep the chatter to a minimum. And if you haven't posted your charrie in here and want to, please feel free to jump right in and pretend as though they've been here the entire time. You're more than welcome to have your charrie make things up/guess as well I will be moving the class along again in roughly 24 hours. |
