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!

Feel free to jump in at any time!

Destiny was still smiling when Marilyn came and sat behind them. 'Hi Marilyn!'
She didn't want to leave this classroom, the scents were so nice and making her kinda tired. She sat up straight when Evelyn nudged her, thinking it was the professor. 'Who is it?' She asked before realizing who Evelyn was talking about. Her eyes locked on the two Huffies from DADA and Marie. Giving the three girls a little wave just like Evelyn, she leaned in closer to her friend and whispered, 'What do you have in mind?' Paybacks.

"It all depends on what we are doing today." she whispered back before looking behind her to the Hufflepuff again. Fiddling with the edge of the table, she started drumming her fingers slightly in a random beat, wanting to hear what exactly they were going to be doing today. If they were just going to talk about love potions, than it would be rather boring and a little more tricky to do anything.

Pausing in the drumming, she sat and stared at the table. 'Maybe potions isn't the best place to do anything...Ah who am I kidding. It's the perfect place!' A mischievous smirk grew on her lips before she continued to drum her fingers, waiting for the class to start.

Potions equipment was hard to carry. Especially when you were a girl, balancing on heels and a prada bag too. It was insanely difficult. And then taking it for NEWTS was even harder. It simply sucked alot, of course Tammy had no idea why she had taken it. But she had, and that was that, and there were to be no complaints made. Because she needed to learn some stuff because it was nearly the end of the year.

Quickly she set her workstation up and instantly found a smell of something YUMMEH take her nose by surprise. And completely, she was still working out what it was.

Yusrieee · 11-17-2009, 07:05 PM

Sniff.sniff
With nose high up up in the air and feet off the ground, Blake literally flew all the way over to the dungeons for his first potions lesson. Well actually, it was the second. Heskippedthefirstone. Hushhush.

Was he dreaming? Because potions classroom were the most ickiest place in his former school. However, this particular class was smelling like....sand. The same heavenly aroma of sand which he loved to inhale right after the first few splashes of rain. Teehee.
The more he sniffed, the more enticing it became.

Blake chuckled as he moved towards his workstation dragging a big black bag, observing the students as he walked past them. Errr what was up with everyone? They all seemed to be sniffing...weird. After setting up his station with the crazy potions clutter he had been carrying around in that huge bag, Blake's eyes widened..the smell..it changed. On sniffing again, he recognized the scent as....babies? The gush of fragrance entering his nostrils used to come from his little sister when she was about 2. Although, now she was more like a pile of poo to him, bwahaa. Shrugging off the freakishness of the classroom, Blake decided to go through his potions textbook, just in case....

Before Lyra entered the classroom she had hold her breath, not wanting to smell the ewwie smell that usually lingered in this place. She stepped inside the room and looked around. It was a odd sight seeing students sniffing the air.

Feeling like a Gryffindor dare devil, Lyra took a small sniff and was overwhelmed with the sweet smell. It smelled like ...candy? flowers,
parchment and a smell she couldn't identify but was very certain she had
smelled it alot of times.

Walking further in to the classroom , Lyra noticed Blake looking at his textbook. uuuuuuuh riiiight. Not really paying attention to it, the Slytherin walked up to him and within seconds she stood beside him.
"Hi, Blake uhm can sit here?" se asked and pointed at the chair.

Daemon · 11-17-2009, 07:28 PM

Clank. Clank.

Rachel winced as she made her way down to Potions, her equipment shrunk and shoved in her bag were making the loudest noises possible and in the dark coridorrs of the dungeonsthe any sound became even LOUDER.

CLINK.

Hmphf. Sighing, she strode past the doors into the classroom and was happy to find that at least her spot hadn't been tak- WHAT WAS THAT SMELL?! The sixth year's eyes widened and almost all her bad mood had disappeared. Smiling openly now, she made her way lightly to her table, not even registering her noisy bag as she inhaled more of that lovely scent. She couldn't place the smells... All but one: the most obvious one - the smell of her and Jake's flat back in Hogsmeade... That musky, clean, sort of magical smell that only their place seemed to have...

She needed to go see Jake pronto. She missed him.

Shaking her head and smiling to herself, Rachel plopped her bag down and began taking out her equipment - one by one; taking it out, enlarging it -SNIFFSNIFF- and reaching back into her bag for the next item until she was all down. Melting into her seat, she moved her cauldron to the other side of the table so that she could freely inhale the sweet scents of the classroom without the metallic smell of pewter getting in the way.

INHALE. Sigh.

Isabella once again entered the potions class in the dark dungeons.the class was hustling and bustling already.she walked in and stood in front of the board and was surprised to see
love potion she thought and a small blush crept over her face.she turned and walked to sit on an empty seat.she had noticed the Slytherin girl Lyra already present there.Bella gave her a small wave.
as she set up her workstation she inhaled the sweet smell of the potions.
she could smell the cool fragrance of water on dry mud of her garden back in the house,she could smell vanilla and chocolate...
wow...i have never smelt so many things at a time she thought as she sat down with her book open and flipping her page to chapter on love potion

His intention of reading the textbook was good but he ended up doodling all over it. Boredom kills. Frowning a bit when he couldn't properly draw an elf, Blake squeaked and dropped his heavy textbook on the floor. Awesome. Rotating around to look at the source of commotion, Blake beamed with happiness at the sight of Lyrieee, "Haiii Lyra." He said waving at her.

Why was she asking for his permission? He didn't own this station, hehe.
"No.....just kidding, of course you can." He shifted his belongings a little towards the edge to make room for her stuff. "You need help with that?" He asked pointing the number of potions supplies which were probably heavier than the girl.

Yay she could sit next to him!
Lyra beamed and shoved the chair back and took a seat. Just as she sat down she noticed someone waving in her direction and she tilted her head to the side to look passed the other students and saw Bella, the girl she had meet in Defence Against the Dark Arts class. Lyra waved back with a smile and looked around to Blake when he asked if he could help her.

Awww how sweet, Lyra thought and placed her big heavy bag next to her desk."It's oke, i can hold it" she smiled and opened her bag to grab out her own text book. "It smells nice here, doesn't it?" she asked while flippinv through the pages. She didn't know where they were. Lyra took a quick glimps at Blake's book and saw the chapter Love Potion open. Lyra started to giggle like a girly girl and pointed at Blake's textbook. "We are going to make THAT?!" she asked her voice filled with excitedment. Teehee.

Lissy Longbottom · 11-17-2009, 08:26 PM

Jack did NOT need any more experience with love potions, thank you very much. After that unfortunate experience with Torin and Reese and that baked alaska spiked with love potion for Bunbury--he didn't want to see the stuff ever again. Where was Torin? HE was the one who needed this lesson! Maybe Kazi would teach them how to disguise it properly so that people would NOT give their potions to their friends on accident.

All of Jack's equipment was shoved into his bag, although it didn't look like it since he had used one of those fancy expansion charms on his bag so everything fit in there. It was hurting his shoulder like crazy, though, and dropped the bag on the ground with a loud THUD before unpacking everything and setting up his station. As he put everything together, he noticed how nice the potions room smelled today......hmmm, broom polish, the smell of the locker rooms ~~kind of an EWWW smell BUT it reminded him of great times with the team~~ even Reese's perfume was in there somewhere...

Mrs_Molly_Weasley · 11-17-2009, 08:56 PM

Becca shuffled ackwardly down to the dungeons equipt with potions materials galore. Oi! Another potions lesson! She hoped this one would turn out better than last's where she had nearly killed herself having not been able to completely cure the poison in her system.

As she walked through the door, she noticed an ample amount of students were already there. Becca sat down at an empty workstation and set up, which did not take long, seeing as it had been drilled into her head all those years, or so it seemed, ago. She then sat down and dazed off into space waiting for the lesson to begin.

whscameragal · 11-17-2009, 09:18 PM

Emily tried to skip into potions class with the most grace she could under the weight of all her potions stuff.... unfortunately this didn't happen.... she fell down and all her phials went every where... thank goodnes they were shatter proof! She got up and looked around the class and found an open seat and sat down, she looked at the older students and saw how they set up their work stations so she set to setting hers up exactly as they did.

When she finished she realised that the room smelled like everything she liked all at once: Garlic, Peanut butter, Bananas, butter tarts, and of course hemp.

"wow this is so nice!" she said happily

Daffy.Potter · 11-17-2009, 09:50 PM

Love potions? Reaallleh? Were they really going to go there?

Sighing, Livvy trudged through the hallways, towards the dungeons, and into the Potions classroom with a rather disgruntled look on her face. She was noooot happy. Even the Potions was a pretty okay class for Livvy, it wasn't exactly her most favorite class of all, even though Kazi was the teacher. He was a pretty rad, yet creepy, guy.

Upon entering the classroom, Livvy made her way towards the desks and sat down in a seat next to Jack. "Hey," she said, grimly. She stared down at her bag and then at the table. Yippee. Why Livvy was in such a bad mood, she didn't know herself but she forced herself to take her equipment out from her bag and to start setting up her station. Potions didn't wait for no one.

AmbiguouslyMe · 11-17-2009, 10:03 PM

Tibi reluctantly dragged himself into potions, fully expecting that overwhelming stink to hit him full in the face. He didn't want to be anywhere near crazy Kazi, but he needed to figure out this potions stuff, especially after last lesson's disaster.

So as Tibi took a little half-breath as he entered the room he was almost pleasantly surprised to smell... parchment? no. BOOKS. He smelled BOOKS! And... Tibi scrunched up his face and took a deep sniff of the air as he stood still in the middle of the room. Chocolate. Books and chocolate.

Reading the board, Tibi raised an eyebrow. Love potions? Was the old man trying to make them forget that he'd poisoned them?

Slipping into a seat with a better view than last time, Tibi set up his station, skeptical look still plastered across his face.

But mmmmm. Books and chocolate.

Kylie nodded to her friend, who'd really already seated herself. "Of course you can sit here, Kay." She said. She leaned in closer, "Err.. well, we might wanna watch out. The girls that were plotting against us at 2 o' clock." She said, giggling.

Danae · 11-17-2009, 10:24 PM

Delana trudged into the potions classroom. She couldn't even remember the last time she slept... At least it was potions class and not something boring. Potions always seemed to make her feel better.
She sat down and got everything set up. Finding her notes she wondered what kind of insanity would come up this time. Love potions?... What could possibly go wrong...

Kay looked over to where Kylie was watching and saw the two girls. "Great, not a good class to get into it." Kay said laughing a little. "Do you think they will try something? We can always put a shielding charm up. We'll just have to watch the professor. If he gets to close it will knock him back. Which might be funny." Kay said, her wicked smile forming on her face. "Boy. I just know this class will get me detention." Kay said finishing get her stuff out.

Anna Banana · 11-17-2009, 11:49 PM

LouAnn had picked up on a variety of different scents the second she'd entered the classroom. There were so many of them, though, that she really couldn't tell exactly what she was smelling. She shrugged and began setting up her workstation. As she worked, she thought about the smells in a little more detail. She sort of thought that she smelled...hmm...red roses, blueberry muffins, and...ink? She had to wonder about that last one...ink? Why in Merlin's name was the smell of ink so prominent? Not really having an answer to that, she got comfortable in her seat and waited for the class to get started.

Cassirin · 11-18-2009, 12:12 AM

Copernicus unpacked his bag onto the work station next to Celandine, pointedly ignoring her aside from the odd little grin on his face. It wasn't often that he got to work next to her in an actual classroom, and he was looking forward to seeing her in action.

The smelled interesting to him, with vague smells that seemed to trigger misty memories before being replaced by something else. Chilies and chocolate, apples, something soapy and floral, warm horshflesh...

He leaned over to pull out his text book and dropped his nose right beside Cela's ear. "I smell you, Shiny."

Sneakeh Cat · 11-18-2009, 01:01 AM

Reese peeked inside the Potions classroom, expecting the room the smell HORRIBLE like it normally did, but to her surprise it didn't. Professor Kazimeriz finally made the room smell reasonable for once! Good for him. "Come on, Torin," she called her friend into the room as she walked inside. She headed over to one of the empty stations in the back of the room and sat her large school bag on the floor beside the chair before she took a seat.

She looked up at the board and when she read the words 'love' and 'potion', she looked away from the board and began to unpack her bag and place her stuff on the table in front of her.

Torin entered the room behind Reese and groaned loudly when he saw what the topic of the lesson was. Love Potions? Seriously?

He turned his attention back to the door and wondered if he could leave the room before anyone noticed that he was gone. Or that he was even there.

Lucy was debating sitting next to someone, anyone at all because she hated sitting alone. And that's when she noticed Torin enter the room, behind one of his friends whose name Lucy didn't know. Figuring she could sitting next to them, she went over to Torin.

"Hey Torin," Lucy said with a smile. She glanced over at the girl and gave her a smile as well.

"Do you mind if I sit with you guys? I'm kinda lonely..." Lucy said, but then realized that Torin's eyes were still on the door.

"Hey, are you planning on skipping?" Lucy chuckled.
"C'mon, it'll be fun! Hopefully," She said to him, hoping he would stay. She was afraid of learning about the potions as well because of her history with love potions, but what could she do? She had to go to class.

WhittyBitty · 11-18-2009, 01:30 AM

So much for escaping.

He turned his attention back to the classroom as Lucy approached him. "Er, sure. I'll sit with you. Um, I wasn't planning to skip." His voice cracked slightly and he cast a nervous glance around.

Oh crap! Jack is here.

They would have to sit somewhere far away from Reese's boyfriend.

Kylie smiled at her friend weakly. Kylie wondered idly if Kay really believed they'd try to cast something at them. Obviously they wouldn't, it'd be way too obvious. They'd probably mess with their potion. "Kay.. really, I seriously doubt they're going to do anything." She said, not believing what came out of her mouth. Of course they'd try something. "Well, I mean.. they'll mess with our potion or switch ours with theirs or something if they do anything, even they're not dumb enough to try to cast some sort of awful spell during the middle of a potions class."

Kylie bounced up and down a little bit, she was excited for the class to begin.

Lucy watched his eyes for a moment with a hint of laughter in her eyes. It was fun to watch his brain working through his eyes.

"Uh-huh, sure you weren't!" Lucy said teasingly. She noticed him looking around the room, and his eyes came to a rest at Jack, the Gryffie Quidditch Captain.

"What, do you have something against Jack?" Lucy asked jokingly.
