And once again, you enter the dank, dark cave that is the Hogwarts potions classroom... but something has changed. Unlike the environment of the previous class, which was characterized by a clash of noxious odors, this time the classroom is filled with...
THE BEST. SMELLS. EVER.
Though the room is still cast in the typical gloom from the flickering candle wall sconces, unlike during the last class this time the air smells sweet, with notes of chocolate, vanilla, fresh coffee, light florals and fresh breezes, newly cut grass... A thousand lovely scents all harmoniously combining to create a symphony of sweet smells. Small flames are burning under a series of cauldrons simmering at the back of the room, and there are the typical 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 CLASS: LOVE POTIONS
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. I expect my younger students are now able to set up their workstations as well; if you need help, please ask an older student.
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 class began with a discussion on Love Potions- the theory behind them and their classification.
Then, the students discussed probable ingredients in love potions based on their knowledge of potion ingredients; this lead to the lab assignment, in which the students were to partner with a person of the opposite gender and brew a basic Class XX love potion.
The students received instruction on how to remove infused oils from their pre-treated lovage seeds, and were instructed to work in pairs to complete this task.
Next, the students were instructed to add a single drop of swan blood to the potion, bottled a draught, and sample each other's work. Ah... Love!

Torin had been zoning out, figuring that he didn't want to be here and that if he didn't pay attention, it would almost sorta be like he wasn't.
And then Reese was saying something.. and he had no idea what it was. But he was smart enough to know that there was only one thing he could say in reply to her that would be right...

Smiling a little as he deposited himself in the seat beside Cela, Jake glanced up to eye his now blond hair. "Yeah... I kinda..." Woke up while walking along? "I didn't nuhhh-notice when it happened," the boy shrugged, as though this didn't bother him. Scrunching his nose up and adjusting his glasses, Jake glanced at the ingredient things. Wait...
"What were we meant to be doing?" he whispered to the girl, blinking as hehe tried to remember. Silly attention span.
"I like it." Celandine, cheered up by the thought of Jake's formerly pink hair, reached out and fluffed the now blond hair up, then went back to what they were supposed to be doing.
She transcribed the notes from the board on to a sheet of parchment which she put in front of them.
"We can mark it off as we go." She suggested, eyeing his glasses too. Glasses were strange. Why not use magic and repair your eyesight? If it was a fashion statement, she guessed it was okay.

"Erm, sure, if thats what you want, I'm Fred by the way." He secretly wondered if this young girl was crazy or she really did have the strength to crush the fluxweed but that was neither here no there cause if she couldn't he would when he was doune with the water. Fred poured 4 ounces of water into his couldron and did a quick spell to safely light a small fire beneath it so the water could warm to a boil.
Emily took the two bunches of fluxweed and started to crush it, not as easy as it looked, she difficultly crushed it, she was sure she let out a few grunts. SOOOOOOO UNCOOL! oh well she wasn't here to be cool "whats next fred?"
He remembered, very unfondly, the very weird eyelash batting.. thing... that they did in Diagon Alley and.. ew.
Gross.
Girls.
Tibi looked around the room for someone relatively non-threatening... but frankly, he was worried.
Bright pink and awfully embarrassed, Wesley's stomach twisted at the idea of love potions. Loving meant kissing and kissing=GROSE.
She didn't want to make a love potion, but...she had to. About to ask Reese or Evelyn or some other person of the same gender to avoid any awkward confrontations with...males, Wesley was dismayed by the revelation she had to find someone who was a BOY.
What was the professor trying to do here? Although not the brightest, Wesley definitely wasn't stupid. Her stomach clenched up even further, and the small girl gripped her shirt tightly, hands white and shaking. Why hadn't she just skipped class?
Wait! What?! Shaking her head furiously, Wesley scolded herself. She couldn't skip class. That was bad. Very bad.
Looking about the classroom as people partnered up, the second year swung her feat anxiously. She needed a partner. A boy partner. Hopefully a not-scary boy partner.
Oh! There was that one boy- the boy with the hats she had been looking at at the last Quidditch match, so she wouldn't have to look at the field and could just focus on the commentary. Maybe- well, he wasn't very scary. And, and he didn't have a partner yet.
She climbed off her stool, and began to make her way over to him but then stopped. What if she asked him, and he thought she LIKED HIM? Practically gagging, the Hufflepuff quickly turned around. No. No. No. No. No. She would wait for someone to ask her, and if nobody asked her, then, then maybe the professor would pick out a partner for her.
Nervously eyeing Professor Kazimirez, Wesley wondered whether that was such a good idea.
Emily took the two bunches of fluxweed and started to crush it, not as easy as it looked, she difficultly crushed it, she was sure she let out a few grunts. SOOOOOOO UNCOOL! oh well she wasn't here to be cool "whats next fred?"
Wow, she was stronger then she looked though she did struggle which he would not have but that was her choice not his. He chuckled and said, "You could of had me crush the fluxweed and you put the water in the couldron, anyway next you put the crushed fluxweed into the couldron and then we wait for it to come to a boil."

Finding a partner to work on a love potion. LOVE POTION! That was what Josh feared. He was supposed to blend it with a girl and since the professor told them to be matched as boy-girl surealy enough the girls were going to try them on the boys. He was going to be an experiment for a dangerous potion. No, he did not mind other dangerous potions even poisons but love potion was a serious thing regarding his personality. He knew his weaknesses and it was not going to be fun if somebody tried to play on them.
For the first time he stood silent and wanted to be invisible in a class with a team work. Girls, girls everywhere he spotted as he looked around and...Rose! There was Rose! But he really liked and say loved Rose so it was not allowed for him to partner up with her. And this meant she was going to be partnered up with another boy which was as annoying as being under the effect of a love potion. 'No known couples'. But they were not a couple...yet and who knew he liked her? Yes who? Maybe there were some people that had seen them together but they could not be telltales. So trying not to take on anyone's attention he slowly approached to her and tapped on her shoulder ''Rose...Rose'' he whispered looking troubled.

"Yes."
"Good," Reese reacted, not even thinking for a moment that Torin hadn't been paying attention to the Professor. She looked down at the sheet of paper sitting on the work station in front of her that she had scribbled down the instructions on, so that they didn't have to keep looking up at the board every moment and also they would be able to scratch off what they already did, so they wouldn't do two steps twice. That wouldn't be good if they did that!

"So..." She said as she scanned over the first few steps. "Do we have all the ingredients on the table before we start?" Looking up at the table in front of her, she noticed that they did have everything they needed, but the ingredients weren't in the right portions for the potion. "You want to cut the fluxweed and I will get the purified water ready?" She asked before looking back at Torin.

Emily scooped the fluxweed off the table and into the cauldron "okay so lovage pollen is ready here, and so are the lovage seeds, and i have the blood roots... but i think we should wait to cut those until the potion is ready." she said she wondered if she sounded like a demanding child.... she really hoped not she just watched her mom make potions all the time.

"Uh..."
He looked at her lost for a moment before he realized what was going on. They were going to make the potion now. Right.
"Yes, ma'am," he replied as he grabbed some fluxweed and started cutting it.

Oh no. Feeling the tap on her shoulder and hearing the familiar voice, Evelyn had to hold back her wince. For one, she just had to turn around because it was Josh, and she really couldn't say no to him, but two, she didn't want to get into trouble for partnering with him since she liked him. Maybe she could deny everything if people ask. She was good at acting anyways...
Turning around to face him, she was about to give him her usual small and sweet smile when she noticed he didn't look too good. "Are you okay?" she asked, concern written all over her face.
"I like it." Celandine, cheered up by the thought of Jake's formerly pink hair, reached out and fluffed the now blond hair up, then went back to what they were supposed to be doing.

Grinning in response to the hair ruffling, Jake watched as Cela wrote down the notes they had to use and made a funny face. He always forgot that potions meant reading directions, but... he'd do his best.
After staring at the ingredients for a moment, Jake made a face. "Tha' looks ddddisgusting," he complained, setting the list thing down and turning to Cela... to... listen.
"Warming water... right..." Jake nodded. It didn't sound tooooo hard.
Thankfully, there was a fire already lit, presumably by Cela, which meant Jake didn't have to use his wand. And purified water meant not maaaagic. This was goooood.
Moving the purified water into the cauldron, Jake set it over the flame and looked over at Cela as though petrified he was doing something wrong. Because Jake was the kind of fool that would mess up the boiling of water.

"And then we alternate stirring one way then the other. Do you want to stir or add stuff?"

"Yes, ma'am," he replied as he grabbed some fluxweed and started cutting it.
"Well, um," Reese glanced back down at the directions. "Actually, it says your suppose to 'crush fluxweed with mortar and pestle'. So, yeah, I think you are suppose to crush it instead of cut....Torin!" She grabbed his arm, so that he would stop cutting the fluxweed. You would think Torin would notice she read it wrong? "Crush the rest," she quickly added. "How much do we need?" Her eyes shifted back over to the paper and nodded. "Two bunches," she read. "We have enough left. Just crush the rest, okay?"
Shaking her head, she started to do her own thing now. She took her own kettle and placed it on the hot flame. Then, she got 4 ounces of purified water and poured it into the kettle. It wouldn't take long before the water got warm and they would be able to place the fluxweed in there, then they would just have to wait until it was boiling before they went onto the next step.

Marilyn wasn't a fan of working with others. She liked doing things at her own pace and not having to deal with the usual partner problems...And on top of that, it was suggested that the groups be boy/girl. Simply fantastic...
She glanced around the room, unsure about who she should ask. She'd spotted Rafe Lycaon...but quickly decided against it. That can of worms would stay unopened for the time being. Then she seen a guy right beside him that she sort of knew. They'd done their Trans homework together but Marilyn wasn't sure if Carter would be willing to work with her again.

Josh shoke his head as a response when Rose asked if he was okay. His mind was racing with thoughts which nearly disable his ability to talk. So much of thoughts, lots of. Would she think he did not like her if he offered to be partners since the professor told them not to choose a person like that? Could he tell her that he liked her making sure she'd not think the otherwise then offer to be partners? Would anyone understand he liked her and was cheating in the class and tell this to the professor? Did the professor have his own way to catch the possible couples? It should have been hard and risky to outsmart a professor. And this was a huge risk. He did know what would happen to him if someone should tell the professor. On the other assuming he did not partner with her and choose some other girl instead. He was scared of the possible effects of love on him. Then he could die of jealousy if Rose partnered with someone else. 'What to do? What to do?' The girl was looking at him he had to say something. So finally he decided to ask her to partner up without warning her that he really liked her. There was a possiblity that someone could overhear that, was not there? ''I....mmmm...i....'' he stuttered, stopped, opened his mouth, closed it than oepend it again ''Rose...i...i dont want to be partnered up with someone else'' he spilled out

What the blooming heck? He does what she tells him to and then she gets annoyed.
"If you wanted me to crush them, you should have said so," he pointed out to her before switching over to crushing.
He would pay attention to the instructions from now on and not a silly girl like Reese.
Bright pink and awfully embarrassed, Wesley's stomach twisted at the idea of love potions. Loving meant kissing and kissing=GROSE.
She didn't want to make a love potion, but...she had to. About to ask Reese or Evelyn or some other person of the same gender to avoid any awkward confrontations with...males, Wesley was dismayed by the revelation she had to find someone who was a BOY.
What was the professor trying to do here? Although not the brightest, Wesley definitely wasn't stupid. Her stomach clenched up even further, and the small girl gripped her shirt tightly, hands white and shaking. Why hadn't she just skipped class?

Oh! There was that one boy- the boy with the hats she had been looking at at the last Quidditch match, so she wouldn't have to look at the field and could just focus on the commentary. Maybe- well, he wasn't very scary. And, and he didn't have a partner yet.

No. No. No. No. No. She would wait for someone to ask her, and if nobody asked her, then, then maybe the professor would pick out a partner for her.
Nervously eyeing Professor Kazimirez, Wesley wondered whether that was such a good idea.
Tibi continued to scan the room, looking for someone that he could maybe manage being fake in love with and not have it be totally gross.
Soon enough, his eyes landed on a girl that looked just about as thrilled as he did. Approaching her cautiously, he narrowed his eyes.
"Hi. You don't look too happy about this either." Tibi considered her carefully. "I need a partner. You need a partner."
It was like some sort of odd child business transaction.
"I have... conditions, though."

Cela crushed the two bunches of fluxweed, not as evenly as she could have, but meh. She added the crushed fluxweed to the water and turned the heat up with a flick of her wand.
"Ooookayyy." She marked off the parchment and looked at it. "Soooo as soon as it boils we add two drams of lovage pollen...." Cela knew she was allergic to calendula pollen and didn't want to risk a repeat of last time, so she tugged her gloves on nervously.
"And then we alternate stirring one way then the other. Do you want to stir or add stuff?"
Jake couldn't help but twitch at the less than perfect crushing of the fluxweed, and he tapped his fingers nervoously on the desk. He may have been inept but he was veeeeeeery picky about precision.
Meh, he was too lazy to be bothered.
Thinking hard, Jake wondered what would be the least likely to mess up, and since it was pretty straight forward stirring, that sounded best.
"I'll... ssstir," he said firmly, pulling his seat closer and kneeling up on it so he could see into the cauldron. Chyeah. He was PREPARED, yo.

Turning around slowly, she found herself face to face with the buttin-pin-3-hats-boy.
Had he seen her staring? Face turning a deeper shade of red, the small brunette just nodded, eyes wide, completely forgetting to greet him back.
Oh! Not only was he smart (she knoticed the blue in his robes, signaling Ravenclaw), he was a leader-type! Excellent, Wesley needed all the help she could get. Face beginning to cool, she said hurriedly, "Th-that's f-fine."

It should have been hard and risky to outsmart a professor. And this was a huge risk. He did know what would happen to him if someone should tell the professor. On the other assuming he did not partner with her and choose some other girl instead. He was scared of the possible effects of love on him. Then he could die of jealousy if Rose partnered with someone else. 'What to do? What to do?' The girl was looking at him he had to say something. So finally he decided to ask her to partner up without warning her that he really liked her. There was a possiblity that someone could overhear that, was not there? ''I....mmmm...i....'' he stuttered, stopped, opened his mouth, closed it than oepend it again ''Rose...i...i dont want to be partnered up with someone else'' he spilled out
Evelyn's frown deepened when he did not answer right away. He looked almost, scared? Was that it? 'Scared of love potions. Well I've never heard of that before.' she thought humorously, a smile threatening to burst forward, but it was quickly squashed when he spoke again. Was that a good thing or bad thing that he wanted to be her partner? Maybe he was just nervous since it was love potions.
She was confusing herself too much with the 'does he like me? or he doesn't' thing and just shaking her head, she stood up and stole a chair that wasn't being used, dragging it over to her station so he could sit. "Grab your stuff." she mumbled, glancing up at the board and then to him, patting the seat next to her. If they acted like good buddies, than no one would know anything...right? Right. Well if she acted like he was a good buddy, since she had no clue if Josh liked her or not. Again with confusing herself.
Emily saw that the potion was ready so she added the lovage pollen and began stirring, the lovage pollen was beginnning to dissolve when emily noticed something
Emily raised her hand "proffesor, the instructions say you need 3 lovage seeds, but they don't say that you should add them."

Meh, he was too lazy to be bothered.
Thinking hard, Jake wondered what would be the least likely to mess up, and since it was pretty straight forward stirring, that sounded best.
"I'll... ssstir," he said firmly, pulling his seat closer and kneeling up on it so he could see into the cauldron. Chyeah. He was PREPARED, yo.

STANDARD CLASS XX POTION BASE
STEP ONE: Purified water, 4 ounces
Fluxweed, two bunches- finely crushed
Lovage pollen - 2 drams
3 lovage seeds, whole
Bloodroot, 3 roots- split lengthwise, scrape inner membrane out
Apple cider, 8 ounces
Lionfish heart, minced
Griffin dandruff, 1 dram
Warm water until just before boiling.
Crush fluxweed with mortar and pestle, add to water. Allow to come to a brisk boil.
Add lovage pollen, stir until dissolved.
Potion should take on a light golden colour.
Stir slowly, alternating clockwise and counterclockwise stirs
bring potion back up to a boil and allow to simmer 5 minutes
Add inner membrane ONLY of bloodroots; do NOT include the tough outer membrane of the root!!!
Add apple cider and lionfish heart; potion should take on an iridescent sheen and a light pink to purple cast
Add griffin dandruff and simmer until your potion takes on a deep pink to red sheen.
DO NOT GO FORWARD, wait for further instructions.
Cela added the pollen, measuring it carefully. She stirred it in then nodded at Jake, relinquishing the stirring job to him as it turned sort of light gold. Sort of. Sort of... darker gold. But mostly light gold. Or something.
"I'll do the bloodroot I guess." Cela offered to Jake doubtfully.
Cela stared at the instructions and since there was a while before adding things... she put her hand up.
"Professor, the lovage seeds, is that for later or is there a step missing in the instructions?"

Emily scooped the fluxweed off the table and into the cauldron "okay so lovage pollen is ready here, and so are the lovage seeds, and i have the blood roots... but i think we should wait to cut those until the potion is ready." she said she wondered if she sounded like a demanding child.... she really hoped not she just watched her mom make potions all the time.
"Yeah, I think we should focus on the lovage pollen first", Fred said and added the two grams of the lovage pollen to the mixture. "Now would you mix all this till dissolved?".
"OH!" Wesley jumped, suddenly sweating at the sound of a voice that was very...male.
Turning around slowly, she found herself face to face with the buttin-pin-3-hats-boy.
Had he seen her staring? Face turning a deeper shade of red, the small brunette just nodded, eyes wide, completely forgetting to greet him back.
Oh! Not only was he smart (she knoticed the blue in his robes, signaling Ravenclaw), he was a leader-type! Excellent, Wesley needed all the help she could get. Face beginning to cool, she said hurriedly, "Th-that's f-fine."
Tibi's face relaxed a bit. This girl was certainly a little jumpy.
"I'm Tiberius," he said gently. "And I dun wanna be in love with anyone." He nodded seriously, sandy hair falling in his eyes.
"So, if we're going to be partners, I want us to have... an understanding. One," Tibi stuck up a finger, "I dun like you... like that. And I won't after. I'd like it if you felt the same."
Tibi stuck up a second finger. "Two. We won't talk about this ever again. Anything silly we do or say, we won't mention. Like it didn't happen. And three," another finger, "If you can help it... I dunno what the potion will do... please don't kiss me." Tibi made a face at that last bit.
"So, do we have a deal?" Tibi stuck out his hand for a shake. A nice, platonic shake.
