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!
Emily grabbed tibi b the front of his shirt and brought him close to her "and you better not forget it honey" she said looking her man in the eyes
Ooof. That was.. unexpected. Tibi smiled at the girl that now held his attention.
(ew).
He might be in love with her, but he was still super shy Tibi. "Hold on there, Emily. Just come sit by me." He smiled at her. He liked her. She was pretty.
And he wanted to hold her hand.

Emily was confused.... if she liked him and he liked her what was wrong with this "fine..." she said through gritted teeth and sat next to him and grabbed his hand forcefully.
OOC: have to go to sleep soon sooooo tired (and sorry i thought my character would be very forceful)

Tibi smiled goofily as Emily sat down. That was a mighty forceful grip she had. He smiled even more. While normally it would have been something that upset him, because it was her... well.. it was endearing.
He looked her in the eyes and gave her hand a little squeeze. "I like your eyyyyess," he said dreamily.

Love potions. Pfft; what was love anyway? Just something that you thought you understood but when all was said and done, you could just turn around and spit it in the face and never speak to it again? No. There had to be something more to love; even if you thought you did everything in the name of love ... if every waking thought was breathless and left you irking for more ... is that love? Who knew?
Only thing Dominic did know was that as overrated as the subject was, he ought to as a seventh year be able to brew a simple love potion. Surely it should be easy stuff for someone of his intelligence; sighing, the head boy didn't even bother noticing that everyone else was nearly done, as he waited for his water to boil in his pewter cauldron. While waiting for the water to boil, Dominic took the fluxweed and finely crushed the fluxweed, as directed, though perhaps even TOO crushed (as he was getting into perceiving fluxweed AS love and thereby, what he thought of the subject).
Adding the lovage pollen, the seventeen year old couldn't help but notice the color of the potion began to take on a very Golden Hufflepuff feeling to it, as he stirred slowly, alternating direction in his stirs and bringing the potion back to a low boil.
Inner membrane of bloodroot? That sounded disgusting; and even as he read the instructions over, it took every ounce of strength for Dominic to NOT wince, as he scrapped the roots and added the inner membrane, putting the tough outer membrane off to the side.
Reading the next line on his instructions, the head boy pulled up his seat and sat on the stool as he carefully measured out the apple cider (really trying hard to NOT drink it because Apple Cider was like AMAZING!!), as he added the liquid to the cauldron. Followed quickly by the lionfish heart, which was another material he had to try hard to NOT wince as he dropped into the cauldron, noting the color change. One more ingredient, he reminded himself as he measured the griffin dandruff and then added that to the cauldron, inhaling deeply as he propped his hands under his chin.
All done. Just to simmer now until his potion changed pink or red or something... hopefully the latter, cause PINK was just a girly, disgusting color. Oh wait, and then he needed assistance in removing the oil from the lovage seeds? What?
Looking around the room, he frowned when it appeared as if everyone was partnered. At least anyone he'd want to be partnered with... so then, NOW WHAT?!

How charming, Reese though with a grin. Nobody has EVER offered to get her a unicorn. "That is such a wonderful offer," she replied. "But, I'm sorry, Mr. Greek Boy. I can't take you up on that offer, because...well...I just don't like you like that." Yes, she was probably breaking Love Potion Torin's heart, but she was NOT going to make him start believing that she did love him when she honestly didn't. When she noticed him moving slowly towards her, she didn't hesitate to stand up and move a few feet away from him.
She took her eyes off Torin and looked towards Miranda, who had just barked 'snap out of it' to Torin. "It's okay," she replied when the girl apologized for interrupting their love potion testing time. "Actually, no, I don't mind. I don't want you to fail either, because failing a class so isn't cool. So, you may give him your potion." She gave the girl as smile before looking back towards Torin, and then the thought hit her. If Torin was under Miranda's love potion, would he still be effected by hers?
Miranda smiled and was thankful that Reese didn't mind sharing...eh, his partner. What the... She took another look at Torin who was looking like a bafoon now. REallly? Did Miranda actually want to make him drink more? That would be too cruel, for sure. "Thankyou," she said to the SLytherin and wondered what would happen to Torin if he actually got MORE potion in him. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell...

She scurried over to her teammate, who was probably one of the last guys in there not completely going gaga with the potion. "Heya Dominic! Oh thank Merlin you are here!" she exclaimed. "People are going INSANE!" Taking a look into his cauldron. "How's it going?" Huh, it was kind of calm in this litte spot. No silly people doing silly stuff. "Need help?" Miranda grinned, pretty thankful to be able to postpone the madness Kazi has set them upon.
NO I like YOUR eyes!" emily said looking into his "your soooooo handsome, and dare I say sexy!"
Tibi felt his face flush. "Nahhhh." He giggled. No one had ever called him handsome before, except for his mum. And no one had ever ever called him... sexy?
He was certainly giggling a lot. "You're the prettiest girl I've ever seen."

Attracted by how it smell ''No, i don't'' but it was chocolate ''Yes, i do. No, i... Don't look at me i'm not learning English'' But Rose was not paying attention, she was staring at the potion as well. Finally he was able to take himself away from the substance when Professor Kazimeriz spoke out and on his words Josh could not decide whether they were good or bad news ''Heard that?'' he told the girls ''Everyone has to drink it...'' This was enough of an excuse yes and trying not to look too eager, he took the spoon and sipped some of the potion.
'Hmmm-mmm-mmm. Tasty!' He closed his eyes to fully taste its sweetness and turned around for a reason whşch was unknown to him hitting Rose in the process. ''Ah, ah sorry'' he said and opened his eyes to see whom he did hit. And there was....Destiny sitting a little bit away from them with a cauldron before her. His grin widened the more he watched her. What a perfect girl she was! Probably could make a good Quiddtich player. Totally ignoring both Rose and Keeley he quickly ran to the other Slytherin girl and sat beside her. ''Heyy lovely!'' he told her with the coolest attitude he could own ''Want some help with your stuff?''
"No JOSH DON-" She tried to lung for him, but it was already too late. He drank it. 'Stupid stupid STUPID!' Evelyn frowned in disapproval, about to lay whatever she thought at the moment onto Josh when he suddenly turned and knocked into her. She definitely wasn't expecting that and lost her balance, falling into the desk behind her. 'Ow, my back.' Gasping, she stood up straight and held onto her lower back where she hit the desk.
When she looked up though, she was less than pleased. "Josh?" Her call lower than a whisper. Evelyn saw him standing by Destiny, talking to her with a goofy grin on his face. No no no no, and her best friend too? Why her?! She couldn't hit her best friend! "JOSH! Hey." Grabbing his arm, she tried to pull him away from the Slytherin, repeating to herself that this was just the effects of the love potion. He didn't really mean it. But like the class before, the voice in the back of her head whispering that he didn't want her was overpowering her own.
One look at Keeley and she could practically see the red in her eyes. Destiny needed to watch out and like...SOON. Ugh...why why why. Maybe she could get Keeley's attention off of Destiny? Now there was a plan. It was no effort for Evelyn to pretend she was in love with Josh without drinking the potion. Well, she wasn't in love with him at the moment, but she sure liked him enough. Suddenly hugging the arm she was trying to pull him away with, she gave a look to Keeley saying 'BACK-OFF! He's mine!' and smirked, snuggling closer to Josh.

Miranda grinned, pretty thankful to be able to postpone the madness Kazi has set them upon.
... and is if someone was listening to his thoughts, his need for a partner (because he wouldn't admit so outloud), the partner came to him. Flashing a brief smile to his PIC, he replied - completely calm weirdly enough - "Hi Miranda. Of course I'm here... You know potions is one of the core subjects needed for almost any career." It was true; if he wanted to keep his options open (which really he did), then he needed to score high in as many subjects as possible.
"It's going... Except, I uh... Kind of still need to like do something with this seeds," Dominic frowned as he eyed the lone material that was on his workspace. Help? Sighing, he tried to recall what Kazimeriz had said about the seeds... They didn't need a partner, didn't they? "Kind of need help, uh yes... have you gotten the lovage seed oil into your potion yet? Cause well, if I peel back the outer shell, then I'll need you to take one of those pins - just careful don't like pierce ME or anything - and like pierce a seed and then like quickly add to the potion or something, yes?" Hopefully. At least that's what he picked up from the instructions, the seventh year sighed as he carefully began to peel back the layer to allow for Miranda to puncture the hilum and obtain the first drop of oil.

Miranda watched Dominic with a raised eyebrow. Career? Oh right, he was leaving... Yes well ofcourse he'd need to have a career after he graduated.
Seeds?
OH! Right, that stuff, that Miranda had somehow gotten into her potion. Yeah. "Oh allright..." she nodded, understanding that he needed help. At his question, she flashed him a bored smile, raised her hand and shook her bottled sample. "Yeah, I have...Though I'm starting to wish I hadn't." she said and grimaced at the weirdness of the boy next to them. Blinking a few times and shaking her head, she turned to Dominic again and smiled. "Yes, that I can do. And I'll TRY not to pinch you." she winked.
As Dominic began to draw back the layer thingy, Miranda noticed how concentrated he looked. He used to furrow his brow a little when he was completely into something. Right! The piercing and the...uh... Looking around the table, she saw the pin and held it up, ready to stab- pin the seed. "Ready when you are." she said, her tounge slightly poking out between her teeth.
And in with the pin! And then the little oil droplet came. "Oh, would you look at that." she giggled.

Her breathing was still choppy and unsteady. Marilyn's anger was still evident in her tear-soaked face. Not saying anything, she stormed back to her own workstation. With every step, her anger was melting into nothing but sadness and despair.
Marilyn pressed her forehead against the hard black surface trying to reign in the tears that were, once again, slipping down her cheeks. Her heart hurt so much she just wanted to die.

Listening to Kazi try to convince the others to take the potions, made her laugh. "Yes, it's SO MUCH FUN!" she laughed as her words dripped with sarcasm. She just wanted this lesson to be over and she wanted to just move on from everything. "Professor, can't I just take an antidote already? I don't want to end up the first eleven year old to die of heart failure due to some idiotic love potion!" Her anger and annoyance was lashing out at everyone now. She hated who she had just become and she knew deep inside that was who she was, but she solely blamed the stupid potion and in return Carter for brewing it!
Carter couldn't believe what just happened. They were fighting right before his eyes! Thank goodness the Professor put a stop to them. He looked between Marilyn and Mina. He still couldn't make up his mind of who to talk to first. He went to Mina and took her hand and then over to Marilyn and took hers with his other hand. "We can work this out." he said confidently.

Fyo looked at Lucy again, and a broad, very warm smile lit up his face. He could not help it - she was truly beautiful! He had never been this completely in love, before - never felt this happy, either. It was like being on some very lovely, seventh heaven. Even better. Before he knew it, he had opened his mouth, and began to sing a song he adored.
"I'd like to make myself believe,
That planet Earth turns, slowly;
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep -
-- Cause everything is never as it seems.
Cause I'd get a thousand hugs,
From ten thousand lightning bugs;
Cause I'd get a thousand hugs,
From ten thousand lightning bugs."
It was not a song many people in love might sing. But Fyo had heard it on Shum's CD player, a good while before, and the lyrics had stuck in his head. They came to his mind now, because he was happy, and this was one of the few songs he associated, for some reason, with joy. His tones were not loud, but Lucy would certainly be able to hear them. He really hoped she would join in. Oh, he was so happy!
"Cause I'd get a thousand hugs,
From ten thousand lightning bugs;
Cause I'd get a thousand hugs,
From ten thousand lightning bugs."
Merry day, merry day!
Lucy was so happy that Fyo felt the same way about her--she just wanted to pounce on him and attach herself to him forever...Mmmmmmm
Lucy listened to his song, tapping her foot on the ground to the beat. Once he finished, she clapped VERY loudly, and gave a SQUEAL.
"OOOh, Fyo that was absolutely AH-MAZING!! You have such a nice voice...Let's dance!" Lucy proclaimed, as she took his hands and started to dance to some random beat. She danced this was and that, leading them around the room. She couldn't stop looking at his beautiful eyes--oh, they were sooo dreamy!
"Fyo, you have the dreamiest eyes..." And then she kissed him lightly on the cheek. Her face turned slightly red and she giggled, but she kept dancing with him. And then she rested her head on his chest.

Oblivious to the way Miranda had been watching him when he spoke of potions as a useful subject for any career, he continued peeling away at the lovage seed. Even though yes, love was tricky business and he didn't particularly care too much about it, he still wanted to pass Potions.
Dominic was also oblivious to the way in which Miranda had said she wished she hadn't gotten her potion finished yet. He only just barely registered on the fact that she was done (which also meant she was in need of a test subject; another thing that hadn't properly registered yet). "Pierce," Dom reiterated when she said pinch, sighing and wondering if this was smart having a fourteen year old help him.
No... It was fine... Miranda was his teammate... she wouldn't hurt him... Not so close to the Championship Game anyway.
And then... Before he could thing anything else, she was DONE!!... "Amazing." He said simply, taking the oil and letting it drop into his potion. "Two more to go..." Dominic murmured, not wasting time as he picked up another one and peeled it back. "Have you peeled back your own or did someone else do that part for you?" He asked, wondering if he should let Miranda try the last one.

"I guess what I'm saying is...I'm offering to be the Gryffindor to your Ravenclaw." She grabbed both his hands and pulled herself closer to him, wrapping him in a tight hug once she got close enough.
"Oh... that is... oh," Copernicus stuttered nervously. He KNEW it was just a potion, but she was making him all nervous with the touching and the stuff. And there was Cela being loved on.
THIS WAS TORTURE.
"Can I think about it, LouAnn? Just... let's take some time to just sit here and enjoy each other's company and maybe... not hold hands in class. Don't want to lose points." HANDS TO YOURSELF.

"Ready?" she didn't wait for an answer.

Carter felt like something was off. He felt like he was coming out of a daze. Why was he holding Marliyn's and Mina's hands? And why was Mina bleeding? "Mina? Are you alright?" he asked.

She did peel her own seeds; well that was just meant that HE needed to to peel all three; no excuse to have her practice other areas of the lovage seed peeling and oil gathering process, when she'd already done that and the pin. Except, he'd never pierced it with a pin before, but whatever. "I wouldn't exactly say like peeling a banana. Maybe ... uh... An apple or orange," Dom nodded, since the latter two were much tougher skins than a banana.
Wait ... what?! His arm needed the exercise?! Was she trying to insinuate something? Frowning slightly as he inserted the second drop of oil into the cauldron, he waited, turning the third lovage seed between his fingers as though deliberating on something. Or maybe just on how to word this. "I... Miranda... My arms ... I can still play quidditch." Sure he had only been to like one or two practices this year, but that didn't mean his arms were out of shape. "Besides, if you're needed to keep again ... well, yea, your arms need to be strong. So you'll help with the vigorous stirring?" He asked, casually, flashing her a quick wink.

Jake was... beginning to see the drawbacks to this potion thing.
He loved them both, and he wanted to show them all the attention they deserved both at the same time... but he couldn't. Each time he looked at one, he forgot about the other, except for this naggling feeling he kept getting.
Just as Jake was trying to persuade himself to finish the hugging, he felt a nuzzle on his arm and looked around at Cela. He managed to look over right as she looked back at Cope.
Again.
Jake stood up and kissed the top of Cela's head, breathing in the scent of her hair and giggling again, before he took half a step towards where Cope was working, as if to say Quit. It. Now.
But... the girls...
They were... right THERE.
Bella had seen Jake having the love potions from two girls and saw the consequences.he was just confused,so confused that Bella felt pity for him.

He really hoped that he'd done a good job, but didn't want to deal with the consequences...
Bella looked at Jack wide eyed. Bold decision brother Bella said with a small smile. she didnt know what to do.

There he goes with the words again. Miranda nodded, letting him think he was correcting her.
She watched as the second drop went into the cauldron, thinking of how delicious it would be to chew on a chocolate frog right now... But her head snapped up as Dominic started talking about his arm. Pursing her lips, she listened. And then her jaw dropped.
"What?" she snapped, incredulously. Panic rose in her and she began to breathe rapidly. Oh, was she having a panic attack? "No. No no no. NO Dominic, you cannot do this to me!" Miranda said loudly. She couldn't even think about Keeping again. The last time she had burst into tears and she DID NOT do that! And wouldn't do that again. Miranda had already stirred, and her CHASER arm handled it very well, thankyou very much. So... "No. I Chase, you stirr your own stupid Love Potion!" she huffed and crossed her arms agains ther chest.

"Lips to yourself, Upstead!"
"We have all the time in the world, Cope. Forever if you want," she said, speaking of growing up and getting married someday. She released Cope's hand, figuring he just wanted to hold hands later on...maybe at Madame Puddifoot's or something like that... "Of course, Cope, but...will you take me to Madame Puddifoot's this weekend? We can hold hands there." She reached her hand towards his hair and ran her fingers through it. "You have really pretty hair, you know..."
Cope startled her a little when he called out to Jake Upstead. Placing her palm on the side of his face, she said, "Maybe he's just in loooove, Cope. Don't you think Cela and Jake would make the sweetest couple?"

Rubbing her face, she froze. Why was her face wet? Had she been...crying? In public?! When she heard Carter speak, she rolled her eyes. Looking over at the Ravenclaw, she gasped! "What happened? What's going on?"

The moment, Carter grabbed Mina's hand, she felt the tingle again running from her hand through her body. Quickly she pulled her hand away. "Some things aren't EVEN worth working out." she glared. Was he kidding her? She didn't want anything to do with the two of them at the moment or ever.
Looking away from the couple, she blinked quickly to try to gather herself. Her head was pounding and the blood was drying on her face and in her hair. Great, that's going to be a pain getting out of my hair. Serves you right for being foolish. Great her logical self was back to annoy her.
Shaking her head, she touched her head again and closed her eyes. Hearing Carter ask her something, she looked at him. But something wasn't right, her vision was a little blurry around the edges. She blinked again as the pounding in her head increased. I do believe you are experiencing the fading of the potion. Stupid inner voices were know-it-all as well, just her luck.
Patting her hair a little, she still felt the wetness of her own blood. Pulling her hand to see it, she gasped as she slowly remembered bits of what had happen. She looked at Carter and then at Marilyn and then back and forth. She was slowly piecing the pieces together.
She shook her head and tried to answer their questions, but nothing was coming out. Her throat felt dry and when she did try to say a word, it came out like a very low scratch. "Stupid love potions

Gah! Boys...
Miranda was so easy to be around; unlike Willow, she just seemed to go along with whatever he was saying. No questions asked. It was really hard to not smile when he was around her and for some reason, it also simultaneously made Dominic uncomfortable. He didn't like this feeling.
And suddenly the feeling left as quickly as it came, as Miranda seemed to be hyperventilating over his suggestion for her to build up her arms to improve her Keeping skills. "Huh? Do what? But... Kaika said... Dominic frowned; Kaika had said she played an awesome substitute Keeper, hadn't she? "Fine... Fine... I'll stir... and yes, you're right, LOVE is stupid," the seventeen year mused, noticing her feisty attitude, as he sneaked a glance towards where LouAnn was totally ALL OVER Copernicus. And that was prime reason number one why LOVE WAS STUPID.
"One more oil drop though," he nodded, as he peeled back the final lovage seed, and waited for Miranda to pierce it with the pin so he could add the final drop.

"Huh?" She was way up in his space, and Cope DIDNOTWANT. He scooted back and swatted gently at her hands. "You know... um... I think we should get back to the potion. I'm going to bottle some more phials in case we turn it in. And... I need... hands. Kthanks."
