Hogwarts RPG Name: Casper Scouten Fourth Year | Emma was first into the classroom. She took a seat in the middle of the class and arranged her books and things in a neat pile. Since Emma was so early, Emma took out a piece of parchment and began writing a letter to her parents. |

| At the loony bin ❣ Ubiquitous ❣ Brain!nvader ❣ !Wake The Dead¡ Julie walked into potions class, it was soo early in the morning that she was yawning as she walked in. She passed by professor branxton and mumbelled a "good morning sir" as she setteled in a seat all the way in the corner. Hoping she would able to take a nap with her eyes open so the professer wouldn't notice before romey and sabrina arrived. At the same time hiding her face so the professor wouldn't remember her as the one that almost hit him with the bowling balls.

Lala came to the classroom on time. She managed to sit at the far corner of the front and hopes that some of her known friends would come in time too.

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic The class seemed emptier than usual but, with the number of people affected by the love potion and in the hospital wing, he shouldn't have been quite so surprised. "It seems we're going to have a small class today," he announced as he stood up. "Today we're going to discuss and brew the Hair-Raising potion. Any ideas as to what this potion might be used for?"

Jo slipped into the classroom quickly and quietly not wanting to be late. she sat with the other gryffindors and saved seats for Meghan and Sabrina, who she knew would be along soon.

Jo raised her hand, "possibly 'hair-raising' is a figurative term, it might be used to prmote hair growth, or something of the like."

Lumus being the stand up student he was wondered why people were answering a question. He buried himself in his potion book, hoping to go unnoticed by the professor.

| At the loony bin ❣ Ubiquitous ❣ Brain!nvader ❣ !Wake The Dead¡ Julie was soo dozed off when professor branxton spoke, what the class is too small I will easily get in trouble this time. Noticing that she knew the answer to one of the ingredients of the potion she raised her hand and answered as she supressed a yawn "Sir rat tails are one of the ingredients of this potion, and it raises your hair to stand up straight just like a banshee".

Adrienne simply sat and looked at the Professor. She still had a chip on her shoulder from how cold he was in detention. Doing his job or not, she still had a grudge. Adrienne heaved a sigh and started to take notes.
Then a thought popped into her head. She raised her hand. "Professor, why would anyone even need a hair-raising potion?" She couldn't help letting a little sarcasm slip ionto her voice. She hoped he wouldn't pick up on it.
'Way to go, Addy. Get the Professor ticked off at you. Wonderful.' She thought. 'But he was so cold in detention. ' a voice argued. 'Doing. His. Job. He's not your friend and he doesn't owe you anything. You were IN TROUBLE.' she retaliated. 'But I did nothing to HIM.' Her voice of reason was not going to win this. Adrienne sighed again and waited for the Professor to respond.

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "A point for simple_spells and pavartifan for your effort, all others with correct answers will take 2 points. The hair raising potion, however, is a potion which can be used to increase the amount of hair one has. It can be used on any body part or on inanimate objects. One of the ingredients is, in fact, rats tails. Any other ideas for what might be in this concoction?"

Lumus looked in his book, but had no idea how to find the correct potion and didn't think a wild guess would be useful. He just waited to see what his fellow students might say.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Casper Scouten Fourth Year | "Something probably with lots of nutrients, which promote growth." Emma said, hand up. This was the best answer she could think of. |

| Double Agent Stamps! Gaby raises her hand. "Professor, could you use lovage. It is generally used in Confusing and Befuddlement potions because of its ability to stimulate the brain. Couldn't it be used to stimulate hair folicules and encourge increased growth? Pomegranate juice is used in Strengthing Solutions. Wouldn't it also be good in a hair growing potion, and then there is Salamander blood and puffer-fish eyes." |

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "Those are all excellent suggestions, Gaby. I particularly like your reasoning, however none of those are in this particular potion. I will say that peanut butter is an ingredient in this solution. While we're brainstorming other ingredients, we can also discuss the significance of the peanut butter."

Hogwarts RPG Name: Casper Scouten Fourth Year | "Sir, I mentioned before that there could be something with protien, because protien is the stimulant of growth. Peanut has a large amount protien, therefore allowing stronger and quicker growth of hair.
Also, a sure sign of healthy hair is having oily roots after a few days without showering. Oil is in peanut butter, and oil is good for hair. It could help hair grow and develop with stength and power." Emma answered hopefully.
OOC: I checked my peanut butter jar for the protien information. |

"How about some sort of ingredient to add an electrical charge? Or an application of an energy source to initiate a charge?" Lumus adds hopefully.

Kaitlin, since she was usually pretty quiet, was writing down some notes. She didn't want to give out any wrong answers. But Kaitlin raised her hand and said, "Other people already said this, of course, that since peanut butter does have oil and it can stimulate growth, but there are also many other things that include oil and sometimes others are stronger. Can you give me some more examples of these oilish ingredients, Professor?" Kaitlin laid back with her quill at the ready, prepared for more notes.

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic Professor Branxton was enjoying watching the thought processes of the students. They were quite clever at times. "The peanut butter is what holds the solution together. It is the key ingredient in this potion. Once must be very careful, however, as the addition of too much peanut butter can have a disastrous effect. Anyone care to guess what this effect might be? We can continue brainstorming other ingredients such as dirt, as well."

| Kaitlin, once again, raised her hand. "The dangerous side effect that peanut butter could cause the drinker is that is a certain abount too muck is taken, the drinkers hair may grow too much in a dangerous way. Also, if I may state what I think could happen, is that maybe because of that abnormal growth of hair, the brain could be fractured and be unable to think the same again." Kaitlin sat down, once again, pleased with herself.
