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!

Nothing else existed in the room when he decided to pull her close. Just being near him was unlike anything else in the world. "Carter, Im so happy..." She bit her lip delicately, should she tell him how much she absolutely adored him? "I think...I think I love you, too"

Carter's heart soared. She just said that she loved her!! "When we first meet. I knew you were the girl for me. It was like love at first sight." he said spinning her around. "Would you like to dance?"

He smiled encouragingly as she did most of the job. She could as well finish it, though it could cost some points. He decided to mince the lionfish heart. He could at least do that. He nodded when she asked if he wanted to do the rest. He added his minced heart, and weee-it took the colour it should! He grinned. ~~Marie~~ They were good at this! He added one dram of griffin dandruff and simmered. Wow, his arm was already tired. How could she simmer at most of the time? It would still be his potion too, right, that he had added some ingredients too? He hoped so.

He looked up when the professor gave the further instroductions. He quickly ran to get swan blood. He turned back and added a drop of it, then continued stirring. He examined the potion. It looked finished. He leaned back comfortably, but then froze as he heard the rest. So they were 'lucky' to add swan blood... and they would test it if the potions was well-brewed. So his suspicions were true. The professor would make them fall in love, and then watch the fights with pleasure.

Still worried and nervous, Evan glanced at Marie to get her approval too before he took his sample. He then saw Kay work alone, and he felt guilty. But what could he do, it was a Slytherin to a Hufflepuff who had been bad to him. He called her over. "Er... Huffie... Kyle--Kay!" That was her name, right? "You could work with us--but oh you're finished." Stupid, of course she's finished by now! "Er... still... do you need any help?"

Kay turn to see who was talking to her. 'oh, Even.' Kay thought has she started to put her potion into the phial. She filled two so that she would have one to use and one to turn into the profressor. Kay turn back to Evan when he said she could work with them. "Thanks, I didn't think you want to work with me." Kay stated as she walked over to look at their work. "Hi, Marie how is everything going." Kay smiled at Evan and wonder if he would be alright drink her potion. "So, who goes first?" Kay asked looking at them.

Marilyn's smile was dazzling by this point. "Id love to dance with you, Carter." She moved with him easily, having had a strong dance background. Her laughter could be heard throughout the room. Wow, she was so lucky. He was all hers! As they danced, Marilyn snuggled her face into the crook of his neck. "I can't believe how much I love you."

Carter danced around with her. At first he hummed just a tune as they danced. Then he began to sing. "Oh Marilyn...Your hair is golden... You have a smile that makes my heart soar... Your every word makes my heart melt..." Then he stopped singing as she snuggled closer to him. How was he supposed to sing in this condition? He wanted nothing more than to remember this moment forever.

Oh dear Merlin's pants IN FLAMES!

Miranda put a hand to her face and sighed, seeing the chaos around her, students singing and doing, just...WEIRD things. Really, was this LOVE? It couldn't be. If it was, she didn't want any part of it. And this was hard, looking to her right, there was a firstie...NO WAY. And to her left...Another firstie?? How were you supposed to know?! Scrunching up her lips, she stood and looked around. Right, she was NOT going to fail this class just because of a stupid potion. Now, with more determination, she took a step forwards. With a sneer that looked like a grimace at the Professor, she took a deep breath and almost bellowed.

"Right, I need a boy to drink this and become stupid infatuated...SO NO FUNNY BUSINESS!" she raised a finger in the air as her eyes stayed narrowed.

Oh yeah, someone would definitely want to drink her potion now.
Gosh...She needed chocolate.

Or maybe they didn't need to actually drink the stuff? Maybe she would be partnerless and before she knew it, the lesson would be over!

Marilyn had never been this happy before. She heard him sing and giggled. "You have a lovely voice...I could listen to you for hours." They'd continued dancing for some time, Marilyn feeling completely adored in Carters arms. Her heart felt close to brusting from the love and affection washing over her in waves. Moving her head back some, she kissed and nuzzled his cheek lightly. Her attention was quickly diverted by how soft and perfect his skin was, once again. "Your skin is so soft. I could touch it forever."

This has got to be the worst potions class in all of history. Her mind was still reeling from thoughts that the Professor might make them drink the potion. It would have been fine, even great, but now there was a new member in their group, and Evelyn wouldn't be able to handle it if he..."Alright. Go."

Time to get on the action! Without saying a word, because he thought it might cause them to lose time so oil, he extracted the oil with a little spoon and, careful not to spill it around, added it into their annoying coloured potion. ''Done...'' than he jumped forward and stir the cauldron quickly. As he did so the professor had started to speak again and Josh knew what he had been guessing was about to be officially announced. According to his words now they had not much work to be done just bringing it back to simmer and swan blood ... unicorn blood. He blinked at the professor then the girls ''Swan blood. Did not it sound a little bit psycho to you as well? I mean killing a swan for a stupid love potion.'' he was now totally sure. 'Love Potions are Dark Magic. Products of evil minds'

He stopped stirring and looked up with narrowed eyes as Professor Kazimeriz finally spoke the part he had been expecting out and though he had been thinking that he was safe, the crazy professor managed to spoil this thought when he said therre were less boys and it was not obligatory to give the potion to the lab partner which made him an open target for the great amount of girls within the classroom. Nightmare! Looking around nervously the Gryffindor boy took a step back from their station then sat back silently as if he was trying to vanish among the crowd, to be lost in it. ''Wha-!'' 'Silence! They'll know you are there' But what the -! What his housemate Carter was doing, was saying and was everything and the girl before him.... The scene was more that horrible so much that he could not find enough words to describe it. ''This is disgusting'' he murmured slowly and looked down at his feet.

Swan blood. Swan blood?!?! This was just plain cruel!!! Keeley felt like crying, I mean who would kill such a beautiful bird for some potion?! She was just plain horrified. Then, she saw the other students. This was plain pathetic. I mean, dancing-really?! She plain refused to take that potion. It was technically a drug, seeing as it changes your thinking patterns, and she refused to take drugs. She didn't care if she'd get a detention, she refused. Leaning towards Rose, she whispered, "Do you really think we have to take this stuff?"

Because he did not want to drink this potion.

It smelled of fresh flowers, and wet mud, and things he loved too much for words and, much as he wanted to empty the contents of the entire cauldron, Fyo knew he could not -- and then Lucy asked THE question, and he almost bit his lip. It would be highly ungentlemanly to tell her to drink the potion but he knew, too, that he did not want to test it himself.

"I... don't know," he said finally, looking up at her. "I ... I guess I will." Oh my... had he really said that? But he couldn't ask her... he really couldn't! Fyo had... never been the type. Girls were... GIRLS.

There was the "respect" factor, right?

Lucy was watching Fyo as the wheels turned in his head. She could tell that he REALLY didn't want to take the potion, and she felt really bad putting him on the spot.

Glancing over at Carter and Marilyn, though, Lucy got an idea.

"Hey--why don't we both take the potion? Like them!" She said, pointing to Carter and Marilyn.

"I mean, we both have to test it out, right? And, it'll be fair if we both take it--then no one will be blamed for being a coward," Lucy said with a giggle.

She hoped she didn't act as crazy as Carter--he was putting on quite a show!

Killing a swan? "I don't think you necessarily have to kill the swan to get a little blood from it. Probably just make a tiny cut and then heal it right after...right?" She didn't care if the swan died or not really, but she was just trying to think of other ways they could get the blood.

Finally done with all the seeds, she turned to Keeley when she spoke, making her frown. "I think we do." she said quietly, though she suddenly noticed the smell coming from the potion. Woah... Taking a few steps towards it, she peered inside to take a look at the syrup-y potion. "Do you guys smell that?" she said breathlessly and shaking herself out of whatever trance thing she was in. Turning the flame under the potion down slightly so the potion could simmer, she quickly went over to the potions cabinet and got a drop of the swan blood and made her way back over to their station.

Mixing the drop in the potion, she took the spoon out and stared at it, unsure as to what to do. "Umm...who want's to be brave enough to go first?" she spoke to both Keeley and Josh, not taking her eyes away from the potion. She definitely wasn't confident about it now.

Fresh parchment and ink, a warm spring day, sweet chesnut chocolate, and a thousand other things that shouldn't have gone well together, but did. Keeley definately didn't want to go first. Not at all. What if she did something crazy, or if she did something to hurt Josh or Rose?! But, she knew that there was no way that the other two would volunteer, she gulped her last breath as a free person, and took a sip of the sweet potion...

As Evan finished stirring the potion Marie noticed he looked just as nervous about this as she was. Crazy thoughts started going through her head then. 'Oh no, maybe he doesn't want to do this now, maybe he has changed his mind about this.'
Before she had too much time to worry about what Evan was thinking he had called Kay over to work with them. 'This could get interesting.'

"Hi Kay, things are going good here. I think we are ready to test our potion now." Not really sure who should go first Marie just looked back and forth between Evan and Kay as she got out a phial of the potion that she was going to give to Evan to drink. Holding out her hand she said "Ummm, Evan will you please try some of this?" She gave him one of her cute flirtatious smiles while thinking 'Oh please let him drink this' as she waited nervousely for his reply realizing that maybe he didn't want to go first either.

"Umm...soooo...how do you feel?" she asked cautiously and slightly nervous. Taking a slight step in front of Josh, not really aware that she did that, she stared at the girl, waiting for the reaction.

Keeley sipped the potion cautiously, ready for an agonising taste. But, it was surprisingly sweet. A dreamy smile started to play on her lips, although a small voice had rooted itself in the back of her head, screaming not to do anything stupid. But she ignored the voice, and started to notice Josh. Josh, his hair was so silky and his eyes were soo pretty. Too bad that little voice was yelling at her. She didn't care what it said though, as long as she was there with Josh.

"So er.. do you think he's really going to make us drink this stuff?"

You should all take pride in your work, for this is a very difficult potion to get just right, and yet it seems that most of you are finding success. I recall one year that this potion was taught, and not one student in the class was able to brew it successfully... in fact, one unfortunate fourth year student managed to explode his cauldron. The potion splattered all over the lad, the professor and his nearby classmates, coating them with a tarlike substance that stuck to the skin and burned for weeks... and left them all smelling vaguely of spoiled unicorn milk and sweaty socks." He smirked, recalling this experience. "It was only out of sheer pity that Mrs. Kazimeriz still attended the Yule Ball with me that year; the smell was intolerable."

Snapping back out of his momentary trip down memory lane, he smiled at the students. "But I digress. As you finish your potion, you have one more very simple step to complete your potion. Please bring your cauldron back down to a simmer, and then retrieve a single drop of swan blood from the potions cabinet. Add the single drop of swan blood to your potion and stir until it is well blended into the potion. Your potion will then be complete. Please note that we are using swan blood for this lab. Typically this potion would call for a drop of unicorn blood, but that would produce a pure, passionate, devoted love that is much too intense for you to experience at your tender ages. Swan blood produces a love that is much more superficial, and therefore wears off in time."

"Bottle a draft of your potion, and then you are to select a classmate of the opposite gender... It does NOT have to be your lab partner, however." Kazimeriz grinned at the students.

"I know that you have all guessed by now what the final step in class is... You will each sample one of your classmate's creation... and tell them quite honestly how you feel about their work." And if you have succeeded, I am certain we will have a room filled with sonnets and students bursting into song... and perhaps fighting and the odd love triangle or two. Good times, good times.

"I realize there are fewer boys in the room than girls. As such, it is entirely acceptable for a boy to consume potions from multiple young ladies. In fact, it may even add to the educational value of this portion of our little lab."

Kazimeriz leaned against the lectern, looking highly amused. "Go on, now... Finish your work, bottle it, mingle and drink up! Let the good times roll!"

Reese shrugged her should as in reply to Torin. "I don't know," she replied. Soon enough after she said that, Professor Kazimeriz spoke up and Torin's question was answered...

"Great," she mumbled as she looked over at the potion. "I guess somebody as to drink it." And, that somebody is going to be you. Do you really think she's going to go give this stuff to a complete stranger? No. She would rather have Torin drink the stuff, then have some boy she didn't know drink it. Taking a closer look at the potion, she nodded her head. "It's shifting colors, so I'm going to go get the swan blood. It should be done when I get back," she notified Torin before standing up and heading over to the potions cabinet.

Few minutes later, Reese walked back to the work station with the swan blood. "Got it," she said with a smile. "And, the potion is ready." Oh, yes. Look at the pretty maple syrup color stuff in the cauldron. Without hesitating, she poured one drop of the the swan blood into the potion and then stirred it until it was blended into the potion. After stirring it, she picked up one of the bottles on the table and poured the potion inside before handing it out towards Torin.

"Drink up," she told him with a grin.

Carter melted as she kissed his cheek. He had a desire to kiss her straight on. But he vaguely realized he was still in class. Kissing would just have to wait. "And I want you to touch me forever." he said in a dream-like voice. As he held her he knew he never ever wanted to let go of her.

DH Vixen · 11-23-2009, 11:38 PM

This was definitely going to turn out to be a disaster. Mina still had her potion in her hand as she looked up and noticed Carter and Marilyn. Looking at the phial in her hand, she shook her head. No, I refuse to have to act like that. I'm make a fool of myself in the state I'm in as is. Why add a potion to the mix.

She had the sinking feeling that if she took anyone's potions, it would end up in very hurt feelings and crushed and broken hearts and self-esteems. This was ridiculous, she was already a pent-up bundle of emotions and the thought of rejection was enough to make her breakdown and cry on the spot.

Just get this OVER with!

'FINE' she scolded the ever present annoying inner voice and looked around as she walked around the workstations. "Could someone please try my potion and have me try theirs so I can just get making a complete FOOL of myself over with." she yelled.

Yes, we need to add moody on to the list of what this 'claw was. A moody, bundle of pent-up emotions and anger.

Mixing the drop in the potion, she took the spoon out and stared at it, unsure as to what to do. "Umm...who want's to be brave enough to go first?" she spoke to both Keeley and Josh, not taking her eyes away from the potion. She definitely wasn't confident about it now.

Fresh parchment and ink, a warm spring day, sweet chesnut chocolate, and a thousand other things that shouldn't have gone well together, but did. Keeley definately didn't want to go first. Not at all. What if she did something crazy, or if she did something to hurt Josh or Rose?! But, she knew that there was no way that the other two would volunteer, she gulped her last breath as a free person, and took a sip of the sweet potion...

"Umm...soooo...how do you feel?" she asked cautiously and slightly nervous. Taking a slight step in front of Josh, not really aware that she did that, she stared at the girl, waiting for the reaction.

A dreamy smile started to play on her lips, although a small voice had rooted itself in the back of her head, screaming not to do anything stupid. But she ignored the voice, and started to notice Josh. Josh, his hair was so silky and his eyes were soo pretty. Too bad that little voice was yelling at her. She didn't care what it said though, as long as she was there with Josh.

Josh was determined to protect himself even from its smell. Rose smelled it and obviously the odor was adorable since she rarely used words of pleasure like that. So he backed away more and more but could not help to peek in curiously to see what happened as Rose added the Swan Blood. This was when the smell struct him. I smelled of chocolate, strawberry, something burnt, the fresh grassy smell in a soccer or Quidditch pitch and more he could not identify at that moment. The smell was attractive and it nearly made his uneasiness vanish with a little smile he turned to Rose when she asked who'd try it. ''You said brave right! Well this is me. I wear the Gryffindor uniform'' then he started to laugh

But as he wasted time with laughing he stopped it when his eyes met Keeley who was already acted faster than him to drink it. ''Hey, hey i am the -'' he did not complete the sentence just staring at her curiously. ''Erm Keeley are you okay?'' What was going to happen now? He could feel Rose approach her as Keeley stared him with an odd expression on her face. Without moving his eyes from Ravenclaw girl, to not to miss what would happen next, he spoke to Rose ''Should i drink some of it as well?''. *Blink, blink*

"Chocolate. And books. Old musty books." Another deep breath. "Maybe... strawberries? And.. and.. the smell that comes with the very beginning of fall." Tibi smiled. It smelled.. like a perfect day? Like... happiness? Like... love?

Opening his eyes, Tibi leaned back and watched as the potion continued to thicken and, ever so subtly, began to chance color.

Listening to Tibi talk made it easier to stay awake. She nodded, giggling when he mentioned fall, "Me too....I smell..fall leaves..too," Wesley didn't like autumn; it meant everything was dying. And she thought it was awful for the trees to just abandon their leaves and move onto a new set in the Spring. But she loved the crispy scent of them, lying on the ground and blowing all around. They reminded her of Rhea, and last year's flooding, "And also...Charles- my...duck." Yes, there was a definitely distinct duck oder mixing in among the cupcakes and hot chocolate.

Wesley arms where starting to ache, but she was encouraged by the potion which was almost a totally different color.

You should all take pride in your work, for this is a very difficult potion to get just right, and yet it seems that most of you are finding success. I recall one year that this potion was taught, and not one student in the class was able to brew it successfully... in fact, one unfortunate fourth year student managed to explode his cauldron. The potion splattered all over the lad, the professor and his nearby classmates, coating them with a tarlike substance that stuck to the skin and burned for weeks... and left them all smelling vaguely of spoiled unicorn milk and sweaty socks." He smirked, recalling this experience. "It was only out of sheer pity that Mrs. Kazimeriz still attended the Yule Ball with me that year; the smell was intolerable."

Snapping back out of his momentary trip down memory lane, he smiled at the students. "But I digress. As you finish your potion, you have one more very simple step to complete your potion. Please bring your cauldron back down to a simmer, and then retrieve a single drop of swan blood from the potions cabinet. Add the single drop of swan blood to your potion and stir until it is well blended into the potion. Your potion will then be complete. Please note that we are using swan blood for this lab. Typically this potion would call for a drop of unicorn blood, but that would produce a pure, passionate, devoted love that is much too intense for you to experience at your tender ages. Swan blood produces a love that is much more superficial, and therefore wears off in time."

"Bottle a draft of your potion, and then you are to select a classmate of the opposite gender... It does NOT have to be your lab partner, however." Kazimeriz grinned at the students.

"I know that you have all guessed by now what the final step in class is... You will each sample one of your classmate's creation... and tell them quite honestly how you feel about their work." And if you have succeeded, I am certain we will have a room filled with sonnets and students bursting into song... and perhaps fighting and the odd love triangle or two. Good times, good times.

"I realize there are fewer boys in the room than girls. As such, it is entirely acceptable for a boy to consume potions from multiple young ladies. In fact, it may even add to the educational value of this portion of our little lab."

Kazimeriz leaned against the lectern, looking highly amused. "Go on, now... Finish your work, bottle it, mingle and drink up! Let the good times roll!"

Not stopping her stirring, Wesley turned her attention to Professer Kazimirez. No amount of pretty smells could distract her from what he was saying, and her eyes grew wide as saucers when he mentioned swan blood. And then- unicorn blood! Quickly, she began to jump to conclusions before finally realizing that maybe, they didn't kill the creatures, they just borrowed some blood. Like if a swan was injured, and someone helped it, but there was still some blood lying around from earlier. So they just...reused it. Yes, that had to be it. Swans where so pretty- and so where unicorns. Nobody was cruel enough to murder them; Wesley was positive.

Still trying to wrap her mind around the first concept, she hadn't even moved onto the whole experimenting part before she noticed their love potion was beginning to bubble. The new color had completely set in.

It was very enchanting. She stared at it, almost lovingly. The potion would soon be finished.

Reese shrugged her should as in reply to Torin. "I don't know," she replied. Soon enough after she said that, Professor Kazimeriz spoke up and Torin's question was answered...

"Great," she mumbled as she looked over at the potion. "I guess somebody as to drink it." And, that somebody is going to be you. Do you really think she's going to go give this stuff to a complete stranger? No. She would rather have Torin drink the stuff, then have some boy she didn't know drink it. Taking a closer look at the potion, she nodded her head. "It's shifting colors, so I'm going to go get the swan blood. It should be done when I get back," she notified Torin before standing up and heading over to the potions cabinet.

Few minutes later, Reese walked back to the work station with the swan blood. "Got it," she said with a smile. "And, the potion is ready." Oh, yes. Look at the pretty maple syrup color stuff in the cauldron. Without hesitating, she poured one drop of the the swan blood into the potion and then stirred it until it was blended into the potion. After stirring it, she picked up one of the bottles on the table and poured the potion inside before handing it out towards Torin.

"Drink up," she told him with a grin.

He watched her as she poured the potion in the bottle and handed it towards him.

He started to back away from her. "No way. There is no way I'm drinking that!" He started trying to ward her off like she was a Vampire or something.

He was not drinking that stuff.

Marilyn stopped dancing all together and threw her arms around Carter's neck. "I feel like a crazy person for not realizing I loved you sooner. How much time have we wasted not being together? I never want to leave you. I wouldn't be able to stand it." She buried her nose in his neck again, inhaling his scent fully. His smell was...heavenly. The urge to groan was ever present and she was unable to stop the sound escaping her lips. "You smell delicious!"

She had the sinking feeling that if she took anyone's potions, it would end up in very hurt feelings and crushed and broken hearts and self-esteems. This was ridiculous, she was already a pent-up bundle of emotions and the thought of rejection was enough to make her breakdown and cry on the spot.

Just get this OVER with!

'FINE' she scolded the ever present annoying inner voice and looked around as she walked around the workstations. "Could someone please try my potion and have me try theirs so I can just get making a complete FOOL of myself over with." she yelled.

Yes, we need to add moody on to the list of what this 'claw was. A moody, bundle of pent-up emotions and anger.

Carter blushed. Big time. Why hadn't they gotten together earlier? He breathed out a contended sigh. Life was perfect. And then it was interrupted by someone saying something about a potion. He haphazardly poured some and held it up in the air. "I've got some." he said never taking his eyes off of Marilyn. Yup. He forgot what the potion was.

"Do you really want me to drink it?" Reese asked with a raised eyebrow. That seemed like it's the way it was going to have to go if Torin didn't want to drink it. "I will make you regret you're decision if I drink the stuff," she added. Regret it BIG TIME, buddy! Torin knew how she was on love potion - did he really want to witness that AGAIN?

She placed the bottle on the table and scooted it over to Torin's side. "Please don't make this hard," she said. "Can't you just drink it, so we can give it over with?" Cue puppy dog eyes.

WhittyBitty · 11-24-2009, 12:36 AM

He listened to her speak and kept shaking his head while clamping his mouth shut. He cast nervous glances at the stuff.

He wasn't going to drink it. Then he would have to be in love with Reese. He couldn't do that!
