As you enter the dank, dark cave of a potions classroom, the first thing you might notice is the smell. A thousand different scents, good and bad, mingle together in the moist, rich air of the musty dungeon room. The room is gloomy: the lighting is dim, mostly from wall sconces where candles flicker but also from small flames under a series of cauldrons which are simmering at the back of the room. There are rows of workstations with two stools at each station.

A thousand and three jars, canisters, and containers of potions ingredients line the shelves along the walls, gleaming dully in the low light. Each is labelled in the Professor's shaky old man's script, and at the back of the room are shelves groaning under the weight of huge potions encyclopedias and texts.

At the front of the classroom, a large charmed chalkboard stands. On it are written these simple instructions:

Quote:

POTIONS 101

Please be seated. The professor will be here momentarily. Be certain that you have all your potions equipment with you; failure to do so may cost your House points. If you are an older student who is familiar with Potions you may set up your workstation. First years, please ask an older student for assistance.

You may talk quietly amongst yourselves, but please keep the conversation to a reasonable level out of respect for your classmates. Thank you.

--Professor Kazimeriz

Class Synopsis:

The professor has entered the room. A brief discussion about the Cardinal Rule of Potions (Know thy Ingredients) has taken place.

A Worksheet has been distributed; students have been instructed to write equal and opposite ingredient pairs on this worksheet to familiarize themselves with complementary ingredients to understand the concept of negators, or neutralizing ingredients.

A brief discussion about Golpalott's FIRST law was introduced: for every ingredient, there is at least one equal and opposite ingredient that can be used as an antidote to the first ingredient.

This led to a discussion on Golpalott's Third Rule: the antidote for a blended poison will be equal to more than the sum of the antidotes for each of the separate components.

The class was informed that they have all been poisoned by means of a potion that absorbs through skin contact. Their goal? To identify their symptoms and brew the antidote to their poison by the end of class. Instructions can be found here.

Feel free to jump in at any point!

Josh nodded at the professor holding his breath not to insult him with his fury. So, cursing under breath, he held his parchment and took out his wand poking the poisoned piece. ''Specialik Revelio!''. Nothing happened. He fought the urge to tear the parchment into little pieces hard ''Specialo Revelio, Special Revilo no no no darn!'' 'Control yourself, control yourself. Take a huuge breath'. Of course if it was not possible to inhale fresh air in a stinky dungeon but he thought it could help. 'Now' ''Specialisss Reveliooo!''. Finally something appeared on his parchment.

'Moonstone'

Good, good. He could remember adding the stupid moonstone in his potion right after those fluxweed. It did a weird 'thud' in the bottom of his cauldron. But still for some reason he was hesitating to drink it. Somethnig from deep inside him was ordering not to do it.

Kazimeriz glanced at the young girl, raising an eyebrow. "Move along, now, time to check your parchment. Use the sperevelio charm." he encouraged.

Delana nodded and grabbed her wand
"Sperevelio" She watched as the words formed on the parchment, there was only one she had doubt with, moonstone or glumbumble? She had decided on the latter despite the fact that most of the other students were using moonstone, she was being effected differently anyway. She was confident in her potion though, and if not for this being a lesson, would have taken it without a second thought... If she was right, this was a very simple potion.
"Hmm... yes, that's right . . ." She went down the page, reaching the last steps..
"... then glumbumble.. aannddd... mandrake." Seeing that she was right, Delana calmly measured it out and drank the mysterious looking goop. "Well, I guess that's it.." she thought to herself, finishing up her notes. She now knew for sure what her poison was and with this knowledge she jotted down the ingredients and what counteracted them.
Quickly, she cleaned up, put away the supplies, and sat down to watch the people around her, one at a time, drinking their potions and returning to normal.

Kazimeriz nodded with approval at the young girl as she brewed. "Nice technique..." he commented, watching her efficiently dice the innards.

"Good thinking... try pre-soaking the shrivelfig in a tincture of water and undiluted stinksap before you add it to your potion; it will make it more effective." he recommended with an encouraging nod.

Mina smiled to erself hearing the praise she was given for her technique. Maybe being a bookworm does pay off. Hearing Kazimeriz's suggestion about the shrivelfigs, she stopped before adding them to pre-soak them. It was worth a try after all. Passing Carter all three of his ingredients, she smiled at him. "Thanks for the support. I do like the color blue and all, but I don't want to be that color." she laughed as she added the pre-soaked shrivelfigs and waited for it to come to a boil again. They were almost done, just the final boil and simmer before they would know if all was right.

She eyed her parchment in hopes that she was right about her ingredients and her suggestions for Carter's. She glanced over at him as he worked and smiled at the fact he wasn't yelling like before or hiding beneath the table.

Carter thanked Mina and slowly added his ingredients as the instructions said. He then turned his cauldron on hot again waiting for it to boil. He smiled at Mina. Weird... he didn't feel like things were after him anymore, instead he had the sudden urge to dance. No sooner had he realized this he started to side step behind his desk.

Not wanting to chance losing any more of her memory Marie dipped out some of the potion and started drinking it. "Yuck, this stuff tastes horrible." Almost instantly Marie started to remember what was going on. She knew where she was and she even knew who Kay was. She then remembered that the professor had poisoned them through the parchment he handed out. "Hey, what was that crazy professor thinkng by poisoning us like that? What if we wouldn't have gotten the antidote right? I'm so wearing gloves to this class from now on. I'm not touching anything he hands me with my bare hands anymore." Marie looked over at Kay who was still waiting to see how her parchment turned out. "Kay, you better hurry up before you start to cry again." Marie was so glad her memory was coming back she just sat there a minute remembering all the things she had forgotten.

Kay looked at the professor and then to Marie. It seemed that she was right about Marie's poison. Kay looked down to her parchmant and watch it until the words started to show on it. The word moonstone started to come out. "Well that's good. At least I don't have to look for something else." Kay said standing up to take some of her potion out. She poured it into a cup and started to drink. Kay only hope she had used the right measurment. Kay made a face was she drank. "Eek. Is stuff is awful." She said looking at Marie. Kay could tell that it was starting to work. She didn't feel like crying any more and everything else seemed ok. "Marie I think we did it. I am starting to feel fine." It was great that she didn't need the Professors help and she turned to look at him. "Profeesor I don't think I need your help now. Thanks though." Kay said smiling happy that she hadn't paniced.

Kazimeriz smiled at the fair haired Ravenclaw. "You will try your antidote, but first you must cross check to see if you identified the ingredients in your potion effectively, using SpeRevelio. I know you know how to perform that spell, Miss Toussaint."

She diid? She kneeew it? She did! Cela was AWESOME at wandwork. She gave Professor Kazimeriz a trusting look and then closed her eyes. Concentrating. Intent and stuff. Inteeeeeeeent.

SpeRevelio! She pointed her wand and forgot to say it out loud, but that didn't matter, her instincts knew she could do it and in actuality with the whole feeling stupid thing, non-verbally was easier than tripping her tongue around the words.

Celandine peered at her parchment and then BEAMED.

"Chris! Chris! Lookie! Its right! Its right! Do yours!"

"Chris! Chris! Lookie! Its right! Its right! Do yours!"

Chris looked down in excitement as Cela was celebrating for getting her paper correct. "Good job Cela!!!" he said happily turning toward his.

He was going to have to try hard, he wasn't as good with nonverbal spells yet. The Prefect concentrated the hardest he could and then said the spell without messing up, "SpeRevelio!" he pointed the wand at the parchment and watched it as it showed him he was....right! "We did it, Cela!"

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Potionpotionantidotething! They could take it now and get rid of the dumb right? Or, well, the average. Cela tossed her hair. She wasn't enjoying the average smarts stuffs.

"High five!" She announced and held up her hand.

Chris high fived her back and then smilde brightly. "Cela aren't you excited to get our smarts back?" he grinned dumbly. He was really missing them.

"Ok so know we can drink the potion right?" he asked. He took the ladel near by and pulled two phials towards the pot-cualdren thingy. He drained two phials full of the potion into each one and handed one to his smart, Ravenclaw friend.

Yes she LIKED her brains, thank you!

Cela took the offered phial and held it carefully. Drinkies now? She eyed professor Kazimeriz.

TSnitch · 11-10-2009, 03:43 AM

Tori took out her wand after getting the go ahead from her professor and waved it saying, "SpeRevelio.". Soon she saw her answer reveal itself, "MOONSTONE."
"Yes!"she exclaimed despite her urge to burst into tears. Without hesitation Tori measured out what she thought was enough. All she wanted was to feel normal again. Tori drank it ignoring whatever taste may come. And she waited....

Mina leaned over her cauldron and noticed it was boiling. Smiling at how well it was thickening, she turned the heat down and let it simmered. Looking up at Carter she smiled, noticing how Carter was now a lot more calmer and kind of moving behind the table. "How are you feeling?" she asked as she occasionally checked her cauldron.

She was deep in thought over some way to trick this poison...Although, there wasn't anything that could be done. The potion had already went through its second boiling stage and was finished. Merlin, help us...

Destiny looked at her potion and then the parchment and then back to the potion. Maybe something else would pop on the paper, nope, nothing.
'So, I'm guessing we just drink it now. Do you want to go first?' Marilyn looked worried, so she should drink it first. 'On second thought, we can drink it together.' so if anything goes wrong, it'll happen to Destiny too.
Something else to add to her growing list of injuries.

Reading through it quickly...well a little too quickly. The only words that popped out to her were Runespoor eggs and Moonstone. "DESTINY!" she yelled excitedly, waving her parchment around, but then turned down to a whisper like she had been doing lately. "I think I got it right." *Insert reaaally long laugh and giggling*

Paper near fire? Oh boy. Destiny was going to move the paper away from the fire when she almost got hit right in the face with Evelyn's wand. If she was just a tad bit slower she would have definitely lost an eye. Well her other eye.
Destiny was trying to lean over to see Evelyn's parchment but she couldn't see it because now Evelyn was waving it around like a banner. Destiny tried to follow it with her eyes but it was hard.
'Really!? It was right?' she asked still trying to read the parchment. 'Well what are you waiting for, huh? Drink it!' 'About time.'

Distractions are dangerous for Potion classes.

Grinning inwardly, she took the ingredients one by one. Dried nettles, crushed snake fangs, stewed horned slugs, porcupine quills in suggested measures. Carefully, she removed the Cauldron from the fire before added the ingredients into it and started stirring. Great. Avoided a major blow.

The ingredients came to a boil, and the contents of his cauldron began to gain a rather sticky consistency, a kind that was very alike - in texture - to that golden syrup his mum sent to him, to "battle" any bout of common cold. Fyo glanced at the charmed chalkboard again, and followed its instructions, glad that his potion looked the way it was supposed to.

"How's your potion coming?" He asked Lissy, peeking into her cauldron. His own antidote was pretty much ready now and, with a small smile - the first he had been managed to muster, since the time he had absorbed the 'poison' - the fourth year tapped his parchment with his wand.

"SpeRevelio!"

The answer appeared, in what seemed like a little flash of imaginary fire. Moonstone and Hellebore. SUCCCESSS! Fyo grinned like a loony, and then he felt sad again, rather HORRIBLY sad, and he blinked and looked at Lissy. Hopefully, her ingredients had been correct, too.

"Reckon I should drink this?" he asked her, glancing at his antidote. It had turned out quite alright, hadn't it?

Green eyes were darting between the cauldron and Destiny at a very quick pace. If she didn't relax, she was going to lose it. Taking a deep breath, Marilyn nodded. "Okay, lets just get this over with..." She placed two separate vails on the table and carefully filled them both up. When she caught sight of Destiny's wings again, she frowned. "Do you want me to help you drink this? It might be hard for you to grasp the vail..."

"I don't know." Evelyn smiled, staring at the parchment. "But it says Moonstone and Runespoor egg on it, so it has to be right! Right?" Her happy moment disappearing for a second, she turned to Destiny when she spoke of actually drinking the potion.

"That's disgusting. I'm not drinking that." she pointed to the cauldron. "Look at it!" It probably didn't look nearly as bad as some of the others that were in the room, but it didn't look like you average everyday pumpkin juice either. 'Definitely not drinking that. Wait...than why did I make it?' For once, she didn't laugh or find anything funny.

Destiny wanted to get this over with. She would have drank the whole cauldron herself. She watched as Marilyn filled the vials up. Hearing Marilyn ask if she needed help, Destiny looked down at her hands. 'Oh, I'll probably drop it if I.. wait I know!' She hopped off the stool and bent over her bag. 'I know its in her somewhere.' and now she was throwing her stuff all on the floor, just not as violently as Evelyn. 'Aha! I found it!' She sat back on the stool with a few straws in her hand, and she plopped one right into the vial.

Destiny started to drink the potion out of the straw. It tasted just like it smelled, disgusting. After she finished drinking she stuck out her tongue in disgust. 'That was the grossest thing in the world!' she tried to brush the taste off her tongue with her hands, but now she had a bad taste and feathers in her mouth. The feathers were falling off! Forgetting about the bad taste in her mouth, Destiny jumped up and started to ~~awkwardly~~ dance. 'I have no more feathers, no more feathers!' The dancing helped all the feathers fall off quicker, so that would be her excuse.

When Destiny finally stopped her ~~awkward~~ dancing, she decided to check on Evelyn. 'What do you mean you don't know? Of course its right! The paper wouldn't lie!' the professor might though..' Evelyn wasn't happy. Did that mean she had a different symptom now? No more happy Evelyn and she didn't drink the potion.. yet.

'Its not nearly as disgusting as ours.' Destiny was now unfeathery, so Evelyn's should work. . 'Would you drink it out of a cool straw?' she waved one in Evelyn's face and showing off her now normal hands. 'And if you don't drink it, you will levitate to the ceiling and I won't be able to get you down, because I'm not getting on a ladder because I'm afraid of heights!' Destiny wouldn't force Evelyn to drink it but know someone who would enjoy it. 'I heard if someone doesn't drink their potion, Kazi will come over and make you drink it. I just didn't hear how he will do it.' She eyed the professor and put on a fake shudder. Hopefully he is scary enough so Evelyn will drink that potion.

"I mean...well, I don't know what I mean!" Evelyn frowned staring at her parchment before throwing her hands up in defeat and turning back Destiny. Now she really cracked up. 'What is she doing?' she thought, staring at the dance Destiny was doing. 'And why wasn't I invited to this dance party?!'

With a few giggles and laughs escaping again, Evelyn narrowed her eyes at her Slytherin friend. 'Kazi will come over and force me to drink it?' Slowly moving her gave over to the Potions Professor, she sat and debated what to do. 'Maybe if I RUN AWAY really fast, he won't be able to get me. Wait no, that means I'll levitate to the ceiling and disappear! New plan! I'll pretend to drink it and say that I did!' Snickering, she looked back over when Destiny mentioned a cool straw, then actually noticing Destiny. Not chicken Destiny. Regular Destiny!

"YOU'RE BACK TO NORMAL!" she exclaimed, throwing her parchment in the air excitedly. With the continuous giggles and laughs, and holding onto the table as much as she could, Evelyn jumped up and hugged the normal Destiny again. Pulling back, she sat back on her stool, staring at her potion before putting some in a little vial, trying her hardest not to grimace. "I don't get why I need it. I mean, I'm perfectly fine!" she said dramatically, bringing the vial up to eye level. "Except for levitating and everything. But...pfft...that's barely noticeable!"

Marilyn glared at the vail before swiftly bringing it to her lips. She shot it down quickly...not giving herself the time to taste...Although, It was so gross the taste lingered...The blonde was proud of herself for not gagging.

Like Destiny, her feathers were falling to the ground. Her hands were busy helping them along, plucking any she could her small hands on. The boils were bursting and healing themselves. It hurt but not as bad as one would expect. It was obvious she'd forgotten the poison for the time being, feeling massive elation about losing feathers and boils. When the feathers were finished falling, Marilyn could've sobbed from happiness.

Not able to contain her grin, Marilyn looked over at Evelyn and gave her a thumbs up for apparently brewing hers correctly...She sincerely hoped that the professor wouldn't let them die.

'Hurray! I'm back to normal!' Destiny said as she actually got to hug her back this time. 'I wouldn't think being so happy is fine.. well for some people maybe.. definitely not Kazi though, or Bunbury for that matter..' Destiny trailed of when she thought Evelyn was going to drink it, but no she was just examining it. 'Levitating? Barely noticeably? I think it would be VERY noticeable when you start to fly away! You wouldn't even be able to go outside! You would be an Evelyn kite!' Hmm, that would be rather fun though, but it was still cold out so it wouldn't be too much fun. Putting on her most serious face, which was realllly hard to do because she was still thinking about an Evelyn kite, Destiny turned to Evelyn 'Now drink it!' Oops, she had smiled.

Like Destiny, her feathers were falling to the ground. Her hands were busy helping them along, plucking any she could her small hands on. The boils were bursting and healing themselves. It hurt but not as bad as one would expect. It was obvious she'd forgotten the poison for the time being, feeling massive elation about losing feathers and boils. When the feathers were finished falling, Marilyn could've sobbed from happiness.

Not able to contain her grin, Marilyn looked over at Evelyn and gave her a thumbs up for apparently brewing hers correctly...She sincerely hoped that the professor wouldn't let them die.

Destiny watched as Marilyn basically downed the whole vial. The taste didn't even seem to bother her. Destiny felt good. The feathers were gone, the wings disappeared and the boils vanished! She still had the black eye *snarl at Evelyn* but that was nothing. She would just go to the nurse after class. 'So how do you feel now?' she asked Marilyn who seemed to be just as happy as herself. Destiny didn't even care that they had added two extra ingredients to their potion. Nothing seemed to be happening so she just brushed it off.

Destiny trailed of when she thought Evelyn was going to drink it, but no she was just examining it. 'Levitating? Barely noticeably? I think it would be VERY noticeable when you start to fly away! You wouldn't even be able to go outside! You would be an Evelyn kite!' Hmm, that would be rather fun though, but it was still cold out so it wouldn't be too much fun. Putting on her most serious face, which was realllly hard to do because she was still thinking about an Evelyn kite, Destiny turned to Evelyn 'Now drink it!' Oops, she had smiled.

Evelyn snorted at the mention of Bunbury, not even registering that she remembered her name, again. That professor could definitely use a happy potion! Or at least Evelyn thought so. Or maybe the professor didn't. She DID seem happy enough when students were volunteering to be strangled by a devilish plant. 'Nah, she doesn't need one.'

Chuckling, she moved the vial to her mouth when Destiny said to drink it, but hesitated. The smell was awful and surely the taste would be just the same...right? Closing her eyes, she swallowed the potion in one gulp, making a face at the taste and after taste. "Uggghh, it's horrible." she groaned, trying to swallow it all down so it wouldn't linger on her tongue or anything.

For a moment, she just giggled after the last remnants of the potion was gone, but as the seconds ticked on, she became more quiet, a frown forming on her face in realization. Finally she was just sat completely silent and still, staring at the desk with her hands in her lap. The only thoughts that were running through her head was that she had given Destiny the black eye and...Josh. His words echoing through her mind.

I feel amazingly...calm and happy....Prehaps she added too much murtlap essence...That was neither here nor there, now. Marilyn felt lighter than she had in weeks, all her cares seemed to have vanished. It was very pleasant. Definitely added too much murtlap essence.

I guess we got away with adding the snake venom. Thank the gods. Class was coming to a close soon. Hopefully they wouldn't get back to the common room and start foaming at the mouth.

'That's good! We didn't kill ourselves!' she smiled at Marilyn. This had felt like the longest day for Destiny. With the itching and the feathers. Potions was the class she had been looking forward to the most, now she just couldn't wait to get out of here. 'Well maybe the snake venom helped a tiny bit. I don't know what it could do but so far so good.' It was just a good thing that Destiny was headed up to the nurse's office after class, just in case anything else happens.

Destiny turned to Evelyn when she started to move the vial and then drink it. She laughed when she said it was horrible. 'You should've tasted ours, now that was horrible!' At first it didn't seem to work because she was still laughing but then she became quiet and still. 'Oh no! It didn't work! It made you sad!' But it had to work. The paper revealed the answers. Was it because they didn't crush or chop or do whatever to the moonstone? 'Evelyn, are you okay? We can make another potion real fast if this one didn't work.' They could even stay after class if they needed to.

Evelyn turned to look at Destiny, slowly understanding what the girl had said. Shaking her head, she forced a small smile and even laughed a little. No use in worrying everyone. "No, no the potion worked fine. I just...'Want to run away right now'...your eye." She gestured slightly to Destiny's black eye. "I'm so so sorry. I can't believe I did that to you. I can't believe I set the desk on fire too."

Looking around her cauldron, she could see the burnt spot. 'Why is it that I always end up burning either myself, or something around me in classes?' This was the second time she had done this, and hopefully be the last. Definitely didn't want to end up burning the school down. 'Is that even possible?' she thought curiously, back to frowning again.

Destiny was starting to worry that Evelyn's potion had did the opposite of what it was supposed to do. Instead of making her normal it had made her sad. But then Evelyn had started to talk and Destiny paid attention. 'She was upset because of my black eye and the desk?' Well that was just silly. Destiny started to laugh a little. 'My eye? Really? This is nothing! It doesn't even hurt see,' she said poking at the bruise around her eye wincing just a little 'Just think of it as my battle wound.' As for the desk, 'Burning the desk on fire was kinda funny and scary, but only because of my feathers!' I wouldn't have liked to be a burnt chincken..' 'And your hand is better, so that's good! But the sad thing is your book,' she glanced at Evelyn's burnt book and wiped away a fake tear. 'poor little book never had a chance.' she said shaking her head and trying to cover up a smile.
