| | |  Potions class: Introduction to potions
The sharp smell of hot metal cauldrons filled with malodorous contents mingle with the cool, musty smell of dungeon air, marrying to create that peculiar scent that veteran Hogwarts students immediately recognize as Eau de Potions Classroom. Buried deep within the castle's underbelly, the potions classroom is dim and dank, lit only by the flicker of candle-laden chandeliers and the dim blue flames that sit beneath the cauldrons at the front of the class. If you were to touch the bare stone walls, and it is not recommended that you do, your hand would come back to you lightly coated with an unpleasant cold slime-- the accumulation of years of potion vapors, combined with dust and mildew and condensation and things you'd probably rather not think about (much less actually have on your skin).
The room houses several large obsidian workstations, each set with two wooden stools to encourage the students to work in pairs. Each workstation has ample room for the students to set up their cauldrons and other equipment, and the walls are lined with jars and bottles containing all sorts of potions supplies, from friendly-looking dried flowers to jars of bulging eyeballs and entrails. One contains something that vaguely looks like a pickled hand, and it pulses as it floats, as though waving at the students.
Each container is labeled 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 there is a lectern and a desk with the professor's chair. Behind it, a large charmed chalkboard stands. On it are written these simple instructions: Quote: INTRO TO 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. Do not set up your workstation even if you are confident that you are capable of doing so.
This potions class will last two periods. The first period of class is Introduction to Potions. First years, those in need of remedial training, and those who have taken Forgetfulness Potions are encouraged to be here. The second period will provide a more in-depth instruction; All students should join us at this time, but all are welcome to audit the first period if they choose.
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 SUMMARY:
1- The Professor is uncharacteristically late to class. In his absence, the poltergeist Peeves has snuck into the class, making a grand entrance and proclaiming himself the new potions master. Chaos rules as the students are made to answer riddles while ducking flying objects, potions and a LOT Of water. Post 152- The students manage to banish Peeves with threats of the Bloody Baron... only moments too soon, as Professor Kazimeriz enters the room to find wet students and a huge mess. Loooocy, you got some 'splainin to do! Post 332 The class has begun making a Camraderie Concoction. The instructions are on the chalkboard in THIS post, so feel free to jump in! Post 384 Most of the students are getting along nicely... But oh dear! Miss Marlowe seems to have gone wrong, and her cauldron is about to explode! Everybody DUCK!
ooc: Like the old man has written-- First we will go over Intro to Potions, and then begin the first class for all students. Feel free to RP coming into the class, getting situated, picking someone to sit with, and talking amongst yourselves and even have your own little class related stuff going on with one another (as long as you don't turn this into your personal chat thread, or I will be forced to delete your posts without warning, and man, I HATE doin' that to y'all!)
I will update this first post throughout the class to detail what is going on as we go, so if you come late please feel free to jump into the RP and as long as you pretend you were there the whole time, *I* will pretend you were there. If you announce yourself as entering late, however, points MAY be deducted. Kazimeriz is not nearly as easygoing as I am, so don't tell the old man!  If you have questions please feel free to PM XanaSnape, because y0, that's me. 
The first period of this class will begin tomorrow, 05 Feb 2010, mid-morning EST, so please be in your seats by then if you can (or pretend you were and jump in!)... Class period one shall run about a day or two (depending on participation! PLAY!) and then class period two shall begin and also run a day or two to allow all time zones ample time to play.
Oh... and one last thing: BE CREATIVE AND HAVE FUN! Xana~ | |

Thomas walked into the dark classroom. He took his seat in the middle of the class, he never actually payed a lot of attention in the class but maybe it's more interesting then what is written in the books. He but his bag under the wooden table waiting for the class to begin.

Vida's first potion class in Horwarts. She walked inside and looked around the kinda dark and oddly smelling surroundings for few seconds. Potions. Fun..eh? Whether it is exploding the cauldron or fogging the classroom, whatever it is. Hehe..
She slipped to the seat next to her fellow badger boy. Giving him a small smile, she put the bag down on the floor, examining her work station.

Lenalee took a seat at an empty workstation near the front and to the right. She did not know anyone very well and decided it would be entirely too awkward to try. Besides, bad things always happened to people she cared about. Best not have it actually be her fault this time. 'Who knows how bad I'll be at this... Mum didn't even have a cauldron. She hated 'dirty' magic and judging by the smell Mum would definitely consider this one of the dirtier ones.'
She checked to make sure she had the required items for this class and smiled a bit when she did. 'There goes hurdle one, being prepared.'
Much like she did in preparatory school, she waited patiently and quietly in her seat while counting multiples of whatever number struck her fancy.
Two, four, eight, sixteen, thirty two, sixty four... | |

Lucy entered with a good feeling inside hoping for the best to happen and do not turn out to be the worse class, she took a seat and laid her heavy bag with all the stuff inside on the table and waited patiently for the professor to come and take the class.

Potions in Dungeons. -ons, -ons, -ons. How sweet!
That was sarcasm, of course. Who thought the otherwise? Maybe a few freaks.
Josh's mind was full of thoughts again, as typical of him when he had to lead somewhere he did not favour to be. And the case of Potions, it was the Dungeons that where he did not want to be no that he did not like mixing up things. He quite liked mixing up things but why not mixing things maybe up in the towers?
Whatever. There was nothing to do since there was no way he could carry the whole class along with Kazimeriz up to the Gryffindor tower, so he, merely and rather more slowly than he usually did, walked into the Potions class and made his way to a working station at the back row in a lonely corner for he did not want anyone to see him in a mood other than his usual cheerful state.

Daniel had no better thing to do this day so he decided to crash to the potions classroom earlier. He then sat near a wall and laid all his things, especially the ones requested by the professor.
He sat and looked around. A lot of the ones in here are newbies and there are scant of those are of the higher year.
He decided to open the text and read through it.

Oh yeah he was ready. Potions. He had packed his rubber gloves, and his wand. He had a notebook and self-inking quill as well. Everything he needed for a first potions lesson. He sat down in a seat. He wasn't sure whether anyone wanted to sit by him, but he wasn't fussed.

At the top of her head she began to check off the list the materials that had been listed outside the door...
Standard Size 2 Cauldron
Glass Phials
Brass Scales
Standard Potions Kit
Magical Drafts and Potions text, A. Jigger
Introduction to Potions text, H. Slughorn
Dragon Hide Gloves
Standard grimoire or lab workbook
and to read the first chapter by Slughorn. She had it all, after all her satchel didn't weigh so much for nothing. Feeling slightly confident Allison walked into the classroom and took a seat. Not knowing whether or not to feel uncomfortable by not taking out her supplies of feeling relieved that she was following instructions, Allison began to pull on her robes. Arya slowly walked in lugging all her supplies. The spell hit her hard, it wasn't one she was used to. She scrunched up her nose as she walked into the classroom, taking in the semidepressing feel it gave off with the walls and dim lights. As she looked around she saw many familiar faces; waving to her friends, she took a seat beside Allison.
Putting down all her things she gave Allison a small nudge, comparing all there things to make sure she had everything. Satisfied she did the girl relaxed, she had heard about the professor and this was one class she didn't want to be unprepared for. "Hey Allie."She didn't speak to loud in case the professor decided to come in and start the lesson.

The first thing she read was the motto "Tujours Pur". Recalling her language lessons she snorted slightly as she realised it meant "always pure". Well if it was refering to blood purity-which, considering everything else she had read about the Blacks, she assumed it was-she hardly fit. Returning her thoughts to the parchment in her hand she quickly found that cousin, Sirius, and then noiced a small line leading to the name Harry Potter indicating a godfather/son relationship. Well this brought up some interesting questions, but she pushed them to the back of her mind, resolving to find the answers after classes ended. She traced back from Sirius to Marius Black, the squib, her great great great to however many degrees grandfather and sighed quietly as she noted the different ink colour in which the names of his wife and their decendants were written, indicating they were non-magical, then stopped at a name on the sheet between Rebecca and Rachel. Emily. She was on this? And in green ink too, indicating magical blood. Very interesting... Lily entered the Potions room and looked around for students from Ravenclaw, she didnt fancy mixing really today. She spotted a girl at the back of the lab sitting at a station by herself and made her way towards her, "You don't mind if I join you do you?" Lily said with a smile. "I don't really know anyone here, I'm Lily by the way." | |

Soooooooooo, Jake stepped into the classroom, all normal-like, and moved riiiiiiiiiiiight up to the front (or as close to the front as he could get). He found a workstation of his own and dumped his school bag into his other seat; this was like, the only lesson he hated working with someone else in. If he was making a potion HE was going to try, he'd only trust himself.
As his bag made an ominous clanging sound on one stool, Jake sat himself down in the other. His robes were tucked into his bag; with these new ones he kept tripping over. They were a safety hazard.
Aaaaaaaaaaand he waited. Looking all muggle in his shirt and school tie... he waited.
Alooooone. Melanie slipped into the classroom, peering around at the paired seats with a somewhat disappointed look on her face. She didn't mind working in partners or anything. It was just... Melanie sort of sucked at potions. It was a proven fact of life... Her life.
So, naturally she'd showed up for the ' Introduction' part of the lesson, regardless of the fact she was a fourth year and should probably be familiar with the topics that would be covered anyway. Maybe if she was lucky, she'd have some sort of epiphany on potions. Mayyyyybe.
She stood there, next to the doorway, craning her neck, and looking around the classroom for anyone she knew. The class was generally filled with younger students and scattered with a few older ones, not of ton of which she knew. Her arms were starting to ache from carrying all of her potions supplies...
When she spotted Jake sitting alone, she made a beeline for his table, placing her cauldron (With her supplies inside of it... She couldn't carry it all separately, now could she?) carefully on top of the table next to his bag. "Hi Jake. Long time, No talk. " Melanie greeted him cheerfully, waving at her fellow fourth year. "Hope your good at potions." He was smart right? RIIIIGHT?
Right. Duh. | |

Right. Duh. Hearing another voice, and seeing a bag on the table next to his, Jake couldn't help but think... ohno. But... they were meant to work in pairs. If he was lucky, Melanie would be good and precise with potions.
Anddddd she had blatantly asked him that question to see if he could keep up.
Awesome. "I'm puhh-pretty good at it," he shrugged. "Nuhh-not sure what Kaz'd sssay. He duhh-don't like mmme so..."
...
Yeeeaahhhh... "Whuhh-what are you doing hhhere for the intro?"
Oh dear... hopefully for the same reason he was there...

She would love to tell him that of COURSE Kazi liked him, but Melanie had seen enough in her short life at Hogwarts to know that that probably wasn't true.
Speaking of truthfulness... "I'm here because... I may have forgotten something over the summer." Melanie replied simply, tapping her foot against the ground fidgeting the way she did when she wasn't being absolutely honest.
It wasn't a total lie. Granted, it wasn't the complete truth, but at least she hadn't said something completely off the wall. Hopefully Jake wouldn't notice. Melanie busied herself getting out a quill and some parchment for when they started taking notes, just so she'd have something to do.

Lugging the heavy cauldron behind her, the short Hufflepuff entered the classroom, thoroughly exhausted. It may have only been one flight of stairs from her Dormitory, but that was all it took for her to feel as though she had broken her legs several times over from the cauldron banging into her calves with each step. Plus, even with impressive biceps such as hers, her arms hurt.
But now, squinting to read the board in the darkened dungeon room, Wesley attempted to compose herself. This class was undoubtedly going to be filled with first years, and, being a third year, Wesley had to set a good example.
Which meant knowing how to do things, not throwing up, and being mature. Quote:

I'm really looking forward to getting started." Sidney finds an empty place at a work table. She take particular notice of the warning about setting out her potion equipment, so Sidney places her bag on the floor near her. She looks around the room taking everything in. Right. Setting her chin and biting her tongue instead of her lip, Wesey walked with purpose, carefully holding the cauldron away from her legs, over to where a girl shorter than she (aka a first year) was sitting. "Hello," she started, using the greeting word as a test for her "mature" voice. Deciding she was too high, the brunette lowered her tone before continuing, "My," Oops! Too low. "name is Wesley Reagan. Do you suppose I could sit with you?" Giving a small, "grown-up" smile, Wesley set her cauldron down so she could rest her arms.

Nina walked in confidently. If there was any class she should be good at, it was potions. She knew that in potions, it was kind of like baking, right? All you have to do is put in the right amount of the right ingredient at the right time. How could that be hard? At least you don't have to rely on magical skill that you didn't know you had until recently to pass the class.

Benjamin entered the potions class alone, scanning the place nervously. He carried all his things with him and found himself an empty spot to sit down. There were a couple people talking, but others were sitting alone. Well, he didn't exactly feel like getting aquainted with anyone today, he just wanted to get this over with. He wasn't that great at potions, and he wanted to leave as soon as possible. He'd rather by relaxing in his common room, or hanging around the grounds. But no, he had to be here. In CLASS. Urgh, what an annoyance.

Sighing, standing outside the door to the classroom, Evelyn took a deep breathe before coughing a little. It always smelled strange around the potions room, and she had yet to get used to it. But eventually! Eventually she would... Standing up straight, she walked in and took a seat next to Destiny before suddenly dropping her bag to the floor with a loud 'THUD' and laying her head down on the table. The coldness of it felt good on her forehead. Maybe she could sleep for the first half of the class? Nah...Kazi wasn't that nice. Quote:

Why she was even coming to this part of the class she did not know. Okay, she did know, she was hoping to see Evan, she hadn't seen him in a couple of days and she was really starting to miss him. Last term was not the greatest for her and potions. First Kazi poisoned them, made them clean cauldrons, took points away just because she didn't want to clean the older students cauldrons, made them fall in love with someone they didn't even know. Okay, so maybe that one worked out pretty good, after all her and Evan were very close friends now. Then there was that dreaded 'Pop Quiz'. Yeah she was just lucky enough to have three of those nasty balloons pop on her. Boils, bruises and colored hair, what an experience that was.
Wiping all thoughts of last term from her mind, except the class where she fell in love with met Evan she walked into the classroom hoping to find Evan there. She didn't see him but she did see Evelyn and Destiny. She went over and sat across from them plopping her bag on the table hoping she didn't forget anything. Looking through her bag quickly she is relieved when she fihds that she has two pair of gloves in there. Better to be safe than sorry in this class, you never know what you will be touching. Satisfired she had everything she closed her bag back up. "Hey Evelyn, Destiny, so what kind of surprises do you think are in store for us this term?" she asked as she was looking around the room to make sure Evan wasn't there. She wanted him to come sit with her, not some other girl who might try to steal him away from her. Quote:

Irritably, she lifted her head off the table and glared at whoever it was-oh. It was just Marie. Well, she was another exception. Sighing again, holding back a yawn, Evelyn stretch her back and slumped a little, feeling really crappy.
What kind of surprises? "Hopefully none." She didn't know if she would be able to take it anymore if she had some other weird thing pop up on her skin, or if she floated to the ceiling, or burned herself again! That last one seemed to have stopped, but...ugh. She probably just jinxed herself. Destiny knew healing charms right?! "One. Just one, class where nothing but learning about and mixing potions would be nice. Just one! No boils, feathers, levitating, balloons, scales, random love, poisons or anything. Just a simple...normal...class." And with that, she let her head drop back down to the table, her arms dangling at her sides. Yea, she was tired. Good, Evelyn decided to show up, as well as Marie. At least Destiny was going to be the oldest student there..not that she was old or anything. She jumped when Evelyn dropped her bag on the floor, of course the sound would echo, and echo, and echo. 'Your ink will break.' Unless she use a charm or something so that wouldn't happen..Destiny didn't think of that! All those broken jars in her bag could have been prevented.
Destiny laughed when Marie mentioned surprises. 'A surprise? With KaziMan, no way.' HA! He was the master of surprises. 'You know what would be a surprise?' At this point she was so glad the man wasn't in the room right now, 'It would be a surprise if he was still around by the time we graduate.' Destiny will take all the boils in the world to find out how old he is. She did know the boil removing potion, so there would be no harm done. 'I don't think there will ever be a 'normal' class.' Not in any class. Even History of Magic was strange.

Nicoletta sat down in an empty chair, eager for the lesson to start. She was doing better but still had trouble. Surprisingly enough, it was her favorite class.

Becca walked into the classroom with a subtle entrance and looked for someone familiar to sit with. No one was really here yet and people were chatting casually, so she sat down at an empty seat and took out a peice of parchment to draw on.

Ivory could barely contain herself. Potions. She let out a contented sigh. Stepping forward into the classroom she was a little surprised with the dim lighting and slimy walls but she didn't let it put her off.
With the careful movements of someone who knew this was no place to be clumsy, she watched her feet for the telltale stones in the dungeons that were slightly higher than the rest. She did not want a repeat of the last time she had seen the Professor. No, no that would not do to happen again. Even though technically she hadn't fallen. She caught herself in time, and that made all the difference, didn't it? Hopefully that's not the way Professor Kazimeriz would remember her. The clumsy first year. A small shudder ran through her spine at the horrible thought. Hopefully, he didn't remember her as 'the stirrer' either.
Making her way to one of the workstations near the front that was empty but close to some of her friends, she sat down and looked around in awe. She had to admit that the Potions lab looked less intimidating than the classroom. Thinking of the Professor, she was probably right in thinking that this was not something of coincidence. Thinking to how she'd written to her grandmother about him being the perfect gentleman, she actually found herself smiling and looking forward to seeing the old man again.
Her eyes as open as they possibly could be, she tried to take in everything the room had to offer, although in her mind she used the term loosely. From the back wall full of books she was just itching to get a hold of, to the shelves of intriguing jars, she had to admit one could not confuse this room for any other.
Her glance was caught by the the writing on the board. After reading the shaky old man's script, she removed her wand from its holster, hunching her shoulders so the small blue flame that erupted on the tip of it did not attract any attention.
Quickly she tapped the side patch on her mokeskin belt, and watched it expand and billow out to become the size of a small book bag. Reaching her hand in to depths that were enchanted to hold more than it seemed, she removed her glass phials in their special case, her potion making kit in its small wooden chest and her Standard Size 2 Cauldron safely packaged in its dragon hide satchel. Then came her dagger and knife in their proper sheaths and her mortar and pestle in their small protective pouch. Her brass scales in their flat case was placed on the table next followed by her elbow length Graphorn and Manticore hide gloves that had been a gift from her grandmother who thought safety was the number one concern in potions, hence all the safety precautions on all her equipment.
Reaching her arm further in until she was shoulder deep, she fished around until she withdrew some parchment, her quill and ink, and the books of course. The bibles of the art which included Magical Drafts and Potions text, A. Jigger, Introduction to Potions text, H. Slughorn, The Art of Potion Making by S. Snape, The Potion Scholar's Encyclopedia of Ingredients, and Potions: An Encyclopedia...and of course Standard grimoire or lab workbook that would be an essential for this class. Arranging everything in a small pile in front of her, she holstered her wand. Everything was still in it's protective casings but she longed to take it all out and set up her workstation...but no she would follow the written instructions. Nodding in affirmation to herself, she set down to rereading Introduction to Potions: Chapter One- Laboratory Basics until the professor arrived.

Chris had woken up and in a rush got dressed and rushed down to the Dungeons from the Gryffindor Common room. He had completely forgotten that there was a Potions Lesson with Professor Kazimeriz this morning.
He walked into the dusty old dungeon happy that he wasn't late and took a seat hoping that someone he knew would join him soon. The Prefect pulled out his things as he waited.
