"Good morning, class!" Professor Bontecou greeted them, merrily. "I'm Headmaster Bontecou, though you can still call me professor. I'm not picky and Headmaster sounds a bit pompous anyway, don't you think?" he laughed and pushed off from his desk, banishing the butterflies with a wave of his wand.

"Alright, let's get down to business so we'll have time to have a bit of fun later on. Today I want to talk to you about potion safety," he said, and held up a hand to ward off the inevitable groaning that usually ensued an announcement about a boring potions class. "But, before you start throwing eggs at me, a muggle custom reserved for bad performances, give me a chance. I tried a little game last year which seemed to go over well so, we'll try it again. I want to go around the room and list the hazards of potion brewing, but you need to start your hazard with the next letter of the alphabet. So, for example, I'll start with something beginning with Q and the next person will have to say something that starts with R.

"So... Q... Quills. Not only don't want to poke anyone's eye out with a quill, but you have ot be careful when adding porqupine quills to potions."


ooc: Don't sweat it if you post at the same time as someone else and you give the same letter, but do try to go in the right order.
