Carter blinked a few times. His head was killing him. What was going on? He was in a state where all he wanted to do was stare at these two girls and at the same time he just wanted to close his eyes and figure out why he couldn't remember anything. "Love potions?" he asked. Why did that sound familiar...

Oh, right...yeah, the potion. Not wanting Cope to get upset with her for not being on task, LouAnn nodded then turned back to their little creation. "Yes, yes...the potion. We wouldn't want to let anything happen to the potion, now would we?" she replied, her voice shaking just a little. It was a result of that whole "nervous schoolgirl crush" attitude LouAnn now had. She did help bottle phials of the love potion, but at the same time, she kept sneaking little glances at Cope. "...beautiful," she mumbled.

Still holding her head in her hands, she made it back to her own workstation. Reaching into her bag for a handkerchief to clean off the blood on her face. She managed to wet it enough without much effort, before placing it on the source of the bleeding. She was just happy the cut asn't on her face. How would she explain that to her family. Oh, I took a love potion and fought over a boy with a Slytherin. Oh and then I went all crazy Dubois/Rochester. Yeah, she should just hear that conversation.

Closing her eyes, she just wanted to forget all the things that were slowly coming back to her. She didn't want to remember all the things she had said. She didn't want to deal with the backlash of her secrets. She didn't want to deal with being labeled a boyfriend stealer. She wasn't like her sister.

Breathing deeply, she tried again to gather herself. Why couldn't this lesson just be over? She just want to crawl into a hole and die. The pounding in her head was lessening, but her body was still tingling and her blood was still boiling. Her stomach was slowly coming out of the knots but her heart still felt like it was tightly bound and being stabbed. I really do hate love potions!

Awww, she was tapping her feet, in harmony with the music. How ADORABLE was that? Fyo grinned at her, then grinned a bit more when she told him his voice was amazing. "Thank you," he said cheerfully. "I feel really good, today. You bring out my best side."

Dance? Dance with HERRR? Ooooh, good day, good day! Fyo heaved an internal sigh of happiness, and placed a hand round her waist. Then he looked into her eyes - and stepped away. Why did something feel... wrong? It didn't feel natural, or maybe --- maybe --- the moment of uncertainty passed as quickly as it had arrived, and he was oh-so-happy again! He grinned at Lucy, and spun her round. "Your eyes are beautiful, too," he told her brightly.

Then she kissed him.

On the cheek, yes; very lightly, yes. But it still felt like HEAVEN! Fyo grinned down at her, then spun her round again. "This is the best day in my life," he said, his eyes shining with joy. "I adore you, Lucy!"

"you are too! an you're mine... all mine... and if you ever look at another girl except to tell me how superior i am to her i willl break her face and her arms and her legs and turn her so far into a vegetable not even miss avalon can fix her" emily said still smiling at him but she squeezed his hand really hard to tell hims he meant buisinis.

OOC1: i am going to school now will be back in like 8 hours.
OOC2: wow my spelling is terrible

"Ow. Emily, you're hurting me." Tibi frowned looking down at his hand and then up at her confused. He loved her... why was she hurting him?

As for the turning girls into vegetables, Tibi couldn't help but chuckle. She couldn't mean it... because that was mean, and Tibi didn't like mean people, and so if Tibi liked Emily, it must mean she wasn't mean. "You're so silly," he giggled, thinking it a joke. "I like that."

Eye twitch.

Miranda's breathing had calmed down now, tho with the jutting of her lower lip. Sweet sweet Kaika, yes she had said Miranda had been good at Keeping, but it still didn't help to keep those panicky feelings inside her. She sniffed. Oh, hmmm...what is that?

Anyways... "Good..." she mumbled, still with her arms across her chest. No, the sniffing was not because tears had threatened to flood out, it was because there were funky smells in this room now. Ew. Though...WHAT IS THAT SCENT!? "Yeah..." Miranda nodded, still a little grumpy at the Keeper thing. She relaxed her face and continued. "I slapped Torin on the face...It had to be done." Her expression was totally serious, and she was. Miranda thought it was like helping out a fellow teammate from making complete fool of themselves. Shrugging like it was no biggie, she quickly changed conversation topic...sort of.

"Allrighty..." Miranda waited for Dominic to be ready with the peeling already, and began to humm a tune about the chocolate frog who found it's mother in a cave. "Ready? Okay." And with the outmost elegance, hah not really, Miranda sort of missed the spot where she had to pierece the seed and scraped the site of it almost poking Dominic's hand with it. "Oohhh sorryyy!" she grimaced. "Wait hold on, I got this..." scrunching up her brow and with her tounge between the side of her lips, she had to momentarily hold the Head Boy's hand with her other to keep it steady. Not that his hand needed that, it was Miranda who was a bit shaky from the fit of 'rage'. "There!" she grinned, "All done!"

As everyone around them was starting to glug down the finished love potions, Livvy and Samson had barely gotten out of step two. Meh. Clumsy.

"Sorryyy," Samson whined, watching as Livvy picked up the pin. He held the seed firmly in his hand, closed his eyes and waited until Livvy was able to poke the hilum. When she exclaimed, she took him by surprise, but maintained composure. Instead of dropping the seed into another cauldron by accident, he let the extract of the seed fall into their own cauldron. "Phew!" One down. He smirked, then took a seed in each hand. "Okay, so peel and poke 'em simultaneously so we can get a move on," he said, the words tumbling out of his mouth so quickly that it was almost incoherent.

They. Were. Lame.

Everyone else was already drinking their potions and being all crazy and here they were.... still trying to get a few drops of the lovage seed. They were slllooooowww.

Livvy watched Samson with wide eyes as he caught the extract of the seed and dropped into their own cauldron this time. She breathed out a sigh of relief and shook her head. It was about TIME that they finished that part. She listened to Samson as he presented his idea and Livvy nodded her head. "Good idea," she said and reached over once more to peel the coat of the seed, gently but quickly this time. She then quickly picked up the pin and poked the hilium. "Alright..."

Evan looked really skeptically at the potions that were offered. He glanced at Jake and some Gryffindor guy who were shouting love words to girls they probably barely knew. He didn't want to be like them, he didn't want to fool himself. He didn't want to betray Fallon... But then Marie and Kay looked really harmless, and professor very dangerous. He didn't have to be a genious -not that he wasn't a genious- to choose to drink the potions with one glance towards the professor.

He heard the rest of Kay's comments. Of course he would go with Marie first. She was a blond, had green eyes, and well, a Slytherin. He grabbed the potion and drank. For a second, he didn't feel anything. His heart sank and skipped a few beats at the same time. a) He wouldn't fall in love with a stranger. b) They had failed. But then--

"I LOVE YOU SO!" He grabbed Marie's hand delicately -he would never ever hurt her!- and beamed. How beautiful she was, the curl of her BLOND hair, her deep green eyes! Her cute smile, which warmed Evan. Her eager look, her existance! How lucky Evan was to have her, because he was like a half without her! He danced around her, her hand in his, and sang.

"If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug"

Wait, there were some other boys she could look to! He narrowed his eyes, looking at Jake. He looked like a ladies man. Not for EVAN'S girl! He quickly grabbed a phial of the love potion, and handed it to Marie. She should be HIS!

Then, he saw Kay, and the aim of the class flashed through his brain. He drank her potion too. It was a whole new feeling, wanting to hold her hand either. He quickly grabbed hers, and beamed at her too. Yay, he was with his sweethearts! What else could he want?

Kay's love. He had to be sure that Kay would love him too, otherwise it'd be such torture to duel and win against her love, and then watch her suffer because of him. He dropped Marie's hand -Kay should get the same attention, after all, they were both so pretty!- and used his empty hand to give Kay her example. Now, if they drank his, they would love him back, and he'd be the happiest boy in the world. It was just a matter of time for Kay and Marie to drink it.

Love potions...Wasn't today's lesson about love potions? Marilyn felt like her brain was submerged in water, with different thoughts and memories floating around. She couldn't grasped any of them, though. What was she forgetting?...Looking around the classroom, they had obviously been brewing something. Her mind was clearing slowly. The harder she tried to remember, the more that was coming back. They did study love potions today...and they'd brewed a mild one. Carter and I joked about becoming mindless idiots... Oh no...They'd taken the potion.

Marilyn looked between Carter and Mina, who was dabbing at a large cut across the room...Did I do that to her...over Carter?...She pulled out her compact to check her face. Boy, did she looked a hot mess. Marilyn wiped at her eyes furiously, shocked that she'd obviously cried in front of everyone. Running a shaky hand through her hair, the blonde laughed nervously. Well, this is embarrassing...

Kazimeriz continued to watch the insanity that was being borne of the potion, a small smug smirk upon his face. "Come now, let us wrap this up - if you have not given your potion away, please do so now. Boys, please be extra accomodating and take the potion of any girl who offers it."

ooc note: i'll be out most of the day for Thanksgiving (my family always celebrates it on the day BEFORE thanksgiving). So please behave yourselves, at least according to the site rules; feel free to get nutty IC on the potion but please don't blow each other up or anything. The other mods/admins will be watching to make sure no one gets TOO crazy of course... tomorrow I intend to wrap this portion of class so please make sure you've RPed taking the potion (or not) to your heart's content by then. Thanks! Peace, Love and Potions- Xana

Destiny slowly turned to Josh, who seemed to be just a tad bit close to her. 'Did he call me lovely?' 'Umm, no I don't need help. I'm not drinking it.' Well she sure didn't want to drink it now.

Keeley looked scarey. Oh no! She was going to kill Destiny. Sliding slowly away from Josh, Destiny saw Evelyn at least trying to get Josh away from her. But her eyes are glued to Keeley, and her red hair. 'This can't be good.'

So far, nobody had taken Jack up on his offer to try his potion. He didn't know whether to be relieved or insulted....and as yet, nobody had offered him a potion...again, relief or insult?

Josh laughed like crazy when he saw Keeley's hair change into curly fiery red and he put an arm around Destiny's shoulders pointing at Keeley ''Look honey! It blossoms like a flower. A beautiful red flower but...'' he stopped and stared at her ''Not as beautiful as you are, sweet.''. Then he felt some force on his arm somebody was pulling it hard screaming his name. Who could have been that rude daring to interrupt the flirty conversation with his sweetheart? Was it, was it Evelyn? He turned and shot a glare at the Slytherin girl who disturbed him, with narrowed eyes. ''Josh! Josh! Josh! What?! Don't you see i'm busy?!'' he tried to free his arm from her grip but unable to do as as she hugged him snuggling closer. At that point he was about to yell at her but in a sudden a weird feeling occured inside him as he looked down at the dark haired Slytherin. 'She looks familiar, she smells familiar. Could it be... No, no Destiny is here!'

Lucy was in heaven as Fyo told her he adored her. She smiled serenely at him and sighed. She twirled as he spun her around, giggling with glee.

Her eyes twinkled as she said, "Oh, Fyo I adore you, too! You're the best thing that happened to me! I'll never let you go!" And she wished this feeling would never go away. She felt so light-hearted, like everything was so perfect because Fyo liked her just as much as she liked him. Ahh, this was paradise.

She hugged him tight and reached for his hands.

"Let's hold hands, Fyo--and hug me forever!" Lucy said, her voice a bit muffled because her face was crammed on his shoulder. She distinctly heard the professor say somethning, but it register in her mind. All that mattered was that Fyo was here with her, and she was hugging him like there was no tomorrow.

She could feel him try to shrug her off, but she only held on tighter. Out of all the people he could have fallen in love with, it had to be Destiny. 'Potion class just keeps getting better and better doesn't it.' she sighed in her mind, trying to keep her hurt from showing on her face. The way he spoke didn't help much either.

Taking a peak around Josh to look at Destiny, seeing her reaction helped her somewhat. At least her friend wasn't like...enjoying this or anything. That would have just set Evelyn off, but then again, Keeley seemed to be more upset and angry then she was at the moment. Evelyn finally noticed that the Ravenclaw's fingers were twitching towards her wand as well. 'This can't be good...' Frowning, she scowled at Keeley and flicked her own wand out of her sleeve. "Don't even think about it Ravie." she warned the girl before turning back to Josh.

He still seemed to be interested in Destiny, of course!, and just that little fact that this stupid love potion hadn't warn off yet made her frustrated. "Oh c'mon ON!" Grabbing onto Josh's shoulders, she pushed him slightly into the desk and made sure his gaze was on her instead. "Josh, you don't love Destiny. It's the potion thinking for you. Or is it speaking for you..." Well that definitely stumped her. Maybe it was both thinking and speaking for him?

Carter was finally feeling a little more normal. He was starting to have control over at least some of his thoughts. He looked around. Everyone was staring deep into each other's eyes and singing and rhyming. "Do you remember anything?" he asked Marilyn. He wondered what exactly he did under the influence of the potion.

Marilyn offered a small smile, feeling incredibly stupid for some reason. "I remember...loving you and getting angry. I also remember throwing scales at that Ravenclaw girl for looking at you the wrong way." She wished the floor would open up and swallow her whole. She glanced around the room and groaned. Had they been acting this way. Gross!

*Gasp* Mina! He remembered her bleeding and she was complaining about love potions. He went over to her. She was now in the desk she started in. "You alright?" he asked. Apparently Marilyn gets angry and throws things when she's jealous. Note to self.

'Yes, he took mine first, now he will fall in love with me and not Kay. Wait, nothing is happening, oh no, it didn't work, now he will never lo......' Before Marie could even finish her thought Evan blurted out that he LOVED her. Her heart started to beat faster as he grabbed her hand and started singing to her. She knew he was only acting this way because of the potion but still it made her feel good.
Just when Marie thought she couldn't feel any better Evan handed her a phial to drink. She quickly drank it down not knwing what was going to happen to her. 'Whoa, what in the name of Merlin' all of a sudden she had this warm, fuzzy feeling in her stomach and she couldn't take her eyes off of Evan. 'He is so handsome, I love his eyes, I love his hair, I love the way he sings to me, I love.......HIM!' "Evan, I love you too, I am so happy we found each other. You make me feel complete."

Wait, what was happening now? He was drinking the potion Kay had made. 'NO, he can't fall in love with her, he is MINE, ALL MINE!' Marie couldn't stop him, he had Kay's poison swallowed before she could do anything about it. 'Please don't let him fall in love with her, please don't let him fall in love with her' she said over and over in her head. 'NOOOOOOOOOOO, he's giving her some of his potion, he wants her to fall in love with him.' Marie grabbed Evan and tried to pull him closer to her. "You don't need her to fall in love with you, I love you, isn't that enough for you?" Marie had been so happy a few seconds ago and now she felt like her world was crashing down around her. Her one and only true love was now falling in love with someone else. She didn't want to share him with anyone else, they were meant to be together, just the two of them. She hugged him even closer to her hoping to keep him to herself.

Bella shook her head.she was finding it difficult to go and approach any person because all seemed to have already taken 2 or 3 swigs of love potions.all seemed to be confused.she looked at the students and then at the professor then somehow cursed inside
honestly why couldnt there be more guys.would have made life much easier she thought

Kay watched as Evan drank Marie's potion and waitted to see what happened. Evan started singing to her and holding her hand. Kay was about to look for someone to drink her potion when Evan grab it an drank it down. Even was smiling at her and took her hand. Kays eyes widen and she couldn't believe that He loved her? Kay smiled when he hold out his potion for her to drink. Kay watched Marie drink hers and started telling Evan how much she loved him. Kay looked at the potion and wondered if she should. Would she act stupid like some of the other were. She put the phail to her lips and drank it down. It was for class right? Kay closed her eyes and felt it in the middle of her body. It was working it way through her. A fuzzy feeling came over her and she opened her eyes. She saw Evan in Marie arms and was mad about it. "What are you doing with him?" Kay said walking over to them. Evan is in love with me not you." Kay said pulling Evan into a huge hug. "I love you so."

Something about Carter talking to Mina was triggering a memory...Carter talking to Mina?...No, Carter talking about Mina...What did he say about Mina? She frowned, trying her hardest to recollect..."Oh!" She gasped, suddenly remembering that he'd said Mina was pretty and smart..and Marilyn had flipped out. Well, that's interesting...Marilyn, you are going to be a psycho girlfriend. She rubbed her face and groaned. I hate physical confrontation, subconscious. So, just hush!

Destiny removed Josh's arm from her shoulder and scooted further away from him. 'Look Josh! Evelyn wants you!' She grabbed his head and twisted it so he was now facing Evelyn.

Seeing Evelyn grab her own wand, Destiny thought for a second she was going to use it on her. But no, thank merlin, she was using it for Keeley, who was still freaking her out. Destiny pulled out her own wand juuuust in case she needed to throw up a certain shiel charm. She saw how Marilyn was acting and how crazy she got with the Ravenclaw girl.
