She did, however have her school robes on as she wasn’t eager to receive another detention for that.

“Morning Professor. What’s on the cards today? Can we brew some Polyjuice potion this year?”

Why Polyjuice potion, you may ask? Well, that was a story for a different day.

With her emerald green cloak folded neatly, her gloves tucked in the pockets and her hat on the cloak, Sloane set out to get ready for the lesson. As she did so however, she couldn't help but day dream slightly about her winter break, the ski slopes in Europe and how much fun she'd actually had with her mothers, something that surprised her deeply. Much like everything in her life however, this also left the second year Slytherin feeling a mixture of emotions. To those around her however, the same scowling face could be seen, dimly lit by gentle flame underneath her cauldron.

Professor Adara was grateful for the school robes. She wasn't particularly fond of handing out detentions for something as trivial as uniforms. The suggested potion though gave the redhead pause for concern. While she of course knew the stories of Harry Potter and his friends brewing polyjuice in their second years, it wasn't particularly common and it's uses tended to have nefarious ones.

"Morning Sloane. Cards? That would be more divination," she mused at the pun, deciding to ignore the question of polyjuice instead.

Ary could not quite understand why the time was rushing by. But since it waited for no one, he now found himself stepping into the dungeon classroom where Potions lessons were held. This hadn’t been a long trek for him from his dorms.

Spotting Adara, he gave her a finger wiggle wave before beelining for the station right beside Sloane. Ary gave his friend a [/i]wide[/i] smirk. “Why the frown, friend?” Also. he was so going to keep an eye on her should she want to cause any trouble during this lesson. Yes, this was the sort of friendship these two Slytherins had.

Not to worry young lad. The older one got, the faster time seemed to go. It was a concept that Amelia was still trying to understand and she wasn't sure she ever would. On one hand she still felt like she was back a Quidditch Captain at Belle's School for Witches, but she also wouldn't trade her husband and children and grandson and all her employment accomplishments for the world. She gave the young boy a wave and smile back.

She was working on it though with exams coming up the following year it would be important for her to at least try.

Bright and early as always, a soft smile on her perky face as she sauntered her way into the classroom and plopped herself down in a random seat in the middle somewhere. It was a long trek from the Ravenclaw common room to the dungeons but Aurora appreciated that Adara kept the environment bright and cheery and didn’t bring any of the doom and gloom that a typical dungeon did. She, of course, gave the Professor a greeting in the way of a big beam and a quick ‘hello’ before setting up her things at her station.

The fun thing about potions is that while it seemed at glance to require patience it was a different type of patience. It could also be learned. She greeted Aurora back with a hello of her own.

Needless to say, it was a class that she needed to be watched in a lot of the time.

How it was the nearing the end of January, this little blonde didn't know. But what she did know was, her holiday break had been beyond EPIC! She was another year old and the owner of the bestest Griff ever! And the excitement of it all still hadn't settled down for her. Life was great!

Entering the Potions classroom, Bry first gave the Professor a warm smile. "Good morning, Professor." Cue the customary wiggle fingers as she looked for a station closest to Ary as per usual. Sliding into an empty seat she gave both him and Sloane bright smiles and wiggled her fingers at them before beginning to take out her things for the lesson.

"Good morning, Bryony," she greeted of the creatures professor youngest. She wasn't surprised in the least to find her seated to near Ary as she'd come used to the pair. It would be interesting of course to see where life took them, but as friendly as they were together she wasn't sure she could see them in a relationship. Although as a Professor it wasn't her place to say as much ...

He had to acknowledge he had been a little too protective, and he only helped when Mona needed him to... or so he tried to stay out of her business. The other big revelation she had was that although Logan Paton was cute, he was going to be graduating very soon and Mona didn't want to waste her time on someone who would be leaving her. She wasn't all about long-distance relationships and looking forward to the Hogsmeade trips, no sir. Therefore, she now had her eyes on... Reuben Albert Darcy-Stemp, fourth year from Hufflepuff. Although she wasn't into long-distance, she also was not going to date someone her age! 12-year old boys were too immature and gross, and Mona-Dee had standards. Therefore, although potions wasn't her favourite class... she still looked forward to it in case she might see Reuben and have a chance to talk to him.

"Hello professor!" she chirped, and looked around. Reuben wasn't here yet... she was visibly disappointed, and sat somewhere with lots of empty seats around so that he might - maybe - choose to sit around.

Speaking of relationships, the starry-eyed first year was a sight for eyes and Professor Adara was amused by watching her. Even if she didn't know exactly who she was after, she recognized the look in her eyes. "Morning Mona," she greeted the young gryffindor.

Seeing as this was quite literally the lowest floor of the castle one could get to combined with the natural fact that hot air rises, without the charm that was currently in place on the hallway...it would be, extremely frigid otherwise. But, Archer didn't need to worry about that and was very thankful for the fact that the place was nice and toasty.

Getting into the classroom, it would be the same. As such, the mood of the O'Brien snake would be reflected in a similar manner. Smiling and waving while making his way to one of the desks towards the middle of the room, he'd greet the Professor "Good morning Professor Adara!" Several other waves to his housemates, Sloane, Ary, and Bry as well. That wasn't to discredit anyone else in the room either, those were just the first few people he'd offer the non-verbal hello to; also giving a like-minded enthusiastic wave to the others (Aurora and Mona). Before class would begin, he'd go about setting up his gear.

This was the reason for the heating charms and the bright, colourful dungeon corridor and classroom. It really did have it's way of putting students in a better mood. And when the mood was better, people would have enhanced productivity. Potions required focus as is, so at least the temperature was one less thing for them to worry about. Especially for morning lessons that were likely already a struggle.

"Good morning, Archie."

Now she still had half a term’s worth of classes, and she needed an O on her Potions NEWT to get into a decent university healer program.

She entered the classroom, perking up immediately at the warmer temperatures and bright decor. “Good morning, Professor Adara,” she greeted, giving the professor a polite smile and wave. More smiles and waves followed for the other students as she claimed an empty workstation. “Hi, everyone!”

Desiree neatly set out her cauldron and other brewing equipment, looking to the front of the room as she finished. Hmm, not many clues to what they’d be brewing today, but she supposed she’d find out soon enough!

Professor Adara didn't want to think about the fact that in just a few short months another round of students would be graduating. While she hadn't the chance to get to know them too much in her 18 months back at Hogwarts, there were students such as Desiree who she would definitely miss. She also hoped Desiree knew she was here for anything in terms of her future endeavors as a healer. Even if it was just a listening ear, as she knew how grueling the program could be.

"Good morning Desiree."

After a few more moments, it seemed as though everyone had made it to potions class on time this morning, so it was time to get started. "Good morning everyone, so lovely to see you all bright eyed today. I know we all are probably looking forward to the weekend, but before we can get there, time for another Potions class." She smiled broadly, having not given away any clues as to today's potion. But they would learn soon enough, as just like many of them she too didn't like to wait.

"Today’s potion is one that is a rather advanced level and pun completely intended, but it’s no laughing matter." Professor Adara began, looking around at the lot. "I have full confidence that with enough focus, you all have the mental discipline to brew an adequate potion. Before we begin, let’s lighten the mood in here with some jokes because you’ll need to be prepared to snigger several times for todays potion. And often some jokes will have a lingering effect of making you smile."

"So in an effort to keep the mood uplifted, let's start with telling your best joke or sharing a funny anecdote."

ooc: Yes the question is as simple as that, not quite potions related .... although the jokes can be. Obviously they must be kept SS-appropriate, but share a joke / something funny !! Oh and we'll continue in about 22-24 hours <3
