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~
"Could I get some help cleaning this up?" he asked, releasing his shield charm and begining to clean up with the always handy "Scourgify!". He got his area all cleaned up and began putting all his supplies back in order. He liked to work at an organized space.

The closed door banged open as Professor Kazimeriz entered the classroom.
"I am sorry to be late; I was unav--"
He stopped short, between the student desks, looking at the wreck that used to be his potions class. Everything was drenched; half an inch of water puddled on the stone floors. Tacks, bits of potions and gobs of bogey-strewn gum were everywhere. The message on the chalkboard was nothing but a wet, soppy smear.
"What in Merlin's hot pink hot tub have you all done to this classroom?!" he demanded, clearly infuriated. "Upstead, were you responsible for this travesty? Or you, Pryce? I leave you alone for fifteen minutes and... SOMEONE will please explain this at once or each one of you will lose 20 points!"

Reason: ooc: For reals, sorry I was late; 'twas unavoidable. I hope Peeves kept y'all busy in my absence.
Raiden stood from his seat and stepped to stand next to it.
"Professor Kazimeriz, sir. Peeves decided to pay a visit... he conjured a hose and tacks, among other things, and went after students." He swallowed. "We tried to keep everyone calm and told them to not answer him, but a few did, and he cause a bit of havoc."
...he should have left. Ooooh he should have left.
Great. The hose was out. Raiden immediately cast a silent shield for himself, watching for the hose to turn his direction... but apparently Peeves was distracted by the students threatening to get the Bloody Baron after him.
And then it happened.
That kid, the Hufflepuff, shot something up Peeves' nose, and... it exploded. All. Over. The. Place.
At least he still had his shield charm up. But this could not be allowed to go on. There were tacks and gum and poltergeist snot everywhere, and water running over the floor searching for a drain as it dripped off students who hadn't been fast enough to get shield charms up... Raiden looked at the other prefects in the class. What were they meant to do? Send a student for Professor Kazimeriz? They didn't even know where the man was.
And that... Oh he knew her. Allison, right? Raiden stared as she berated the Hufflepuff for the gum thing, unsure... should he stop her?
"Everyone CALM DOWN NOW!" he finally, wearily, called. Allison... was doing something Raiden himself should do but wouldn't, so he didn't bother stepping in. "Sit down... anyone who got wet and needs help drying off, ask an older student. Ignore Peeves. Ignore him."

At least I tried and didn't just sit there like a flobberworm!!!! and do I know you?" he asked. He had never seen her before but he had the feeling that she had some sort of grudge against him.
WHERE THE HELL WAS THIS PROFESSOR! IF HE DIDN'T HURRY WE ALL MIGHT DIE!!!!
She wanted to jump the boy. A prefect of all people had asked them to do something. To NOT do anything. Had the Hufflepuff done what he was told? No. He had gone out of his way to do something that was obvious wouldn't work, like throw gum at a bloody poltergeist. Closing her eyes to regain composure Allison spoke between gritted teeth, "Perhaps you should go back to your reading sir...and use your common sense as well. Do you find Peeves ignorant?" Ew her etiquette began to show, "For your information, Peeves thinks and has a brain. Did you really think it would work on him twice? And from what I recall, Peeves didn't do anything else because he was out of hand and he knew it. It had been a professor after all who had used the gum. Not an "Ickle little first year" like Peeves call us. Next time it would be to all of our benefits if you stay put."
Reopening her eyes Allison took a cleansing breath and turned to Raiden, "Could you please dry me up or something. Spells are the last thing coming coming to my mind at the moment." What was coming to her mind were the billion and one ways she wanted to jinx that boy. After all ever since his stubborn rude streak in History of Magic, Allison didn't really have a nice opinion on him.
While she received help from Ivory Allison watched Professor Kazimeriz walk in and she groaned. Just what she needed, her first look at their Potions Professor and she was reeking. Drying herself up she frowned and spoke out loud, "It was Peeves sir, he thought it would be fun to tease us and cause chaos."

Becca was so relieved that Kazi was here she couldn't help but smile even if she was soaking wet, "It was Peeves, Professor. He decided to pay us a visit. As you can see, it didn't end very well." She never thought she'd be happy to see Kazi, but today, Becca was grateful. Quickly dryin gher clothes with a spell, looked around. It was chaos!
"It was Peeves sir, he came and did all this. It was a disater, a travesty, a conumdrum!" he said, just slightly over dramatic.
He then looked at the Ravenclaw and remembered. OH........ History of Magic. He went over in all the confusion and said, "Now I remember you. From History. That was a good class." He wanted to keep arguing, but thought better. "I'm sorry about the snot. I really did think it would work. Its all I could think to do in the confusion. and I'm sorry for yelling. I just really don't like it when people yell at me for using magic, its an old habit that goes back to my parents not wanting me to be wizard." he said, both hoping that she'd take it nicely and that she wouls understand. He reached out his hand. "Hope we can be freinds!" he said nicely.

Reason: ??/!)
Jake looked up in releif as Kazimeriz finally got there. 20 points from each? that was obsurd. Jake rolled his eye, he was about to explain the entire situation, but all he realy needed to say one word. "Peeves" he said hopeing it would explain it.
caffeine princess ♬ lunchbox adventurer ❀ little rose
Nicoletta sat quietly with her eyes wide and didn't say anything. Most everyone else had said it already. "Peeves." she said in barely more than a whisper.
"Professor it was Peeves." Kay said putting her hand up before she talked. She knew that the Professor would be mad. They were so going to get it. Class wasn't going to be a happy one.
Ivory sat up alert now that the professor had entered the room. Not able to resist, her arm lifted slightly and she gave him a small wave and hesitant smile. Surely young ladies could wave right?...well maybe she should change hers to a feminine caress of the air rather than the giddy flutter that was her hand now. Oh well too late now, a wave could only go on for so long after all. Maybe this wasn't the right time...
Hopefully, he remembered her, if not well maybe she could make a better impression this time around. Although thinking about it this was not the ideal circumstances. At least she'd been attempting to clean with the small bottle of Mrs. Scower's Magical Mess Remover that her mother had given her when he walked in and not doing anything inappropriate like throwing ingredients at Peeves. Which she was pretty sure had been a not so far away prospect, considering he'd thrown things at everyone. Merlin's toes, it was a good thing she'd been practicing her shield charm so that it had held up against everything he'd thrown or else she'd be soaked in nose and gum goop like many others.
Nodding along with everyone else, she added her own voice to the masses. "Sir it was in fact Peeves, although it'd be a blatant lie if you weren't aware of the fact that some would say he was provoked by us towards the end causing most of what you see. Some of us...well we shouldn't have answered some of his questions. We should've known no good would've come from it."
Her eyes downcast, she realized that although she hadn't been one to instigate she was probably going to be blamed along with everyone else. Such was usually the way of things because Ivory did not want to point fingers, but she was using the term 'us' as loosely as possible.

He raised an eyebrow and gave them a glare that clearly stated, This better be good, your house points may be in jeopardy.

The brunette nodded for emphasis, stacking her ink and quill next to the pile of parchment. This little girl was sweet. Wesley'd watch out for her. She'd protect her. The 3rd year's chest puffed with importance and pride.
Wide-eyed, Wesley gaped at the younger girl, shaking her head, but it was too late. Sidney had spoken.
Oh dear Merlin, no. As tacks fell on the first year, Wesley let out a yelp, before hopping off her chair and rushing to the girl's side."Are you okay? Oh please be okay. Please please please please please be okay!"
The Hufflepuff began brushing tacks off the desk, too short to pick them off the tiny child's hair and robes.
Why did this happen to the first year she'd chosen to watch over?
In fact, as she now attempted to remove gum and...something else that was nasty and foreign, Wesley was wondering why this had to happen at all.
Sidney whispers to Wesley, "I'm okay. I think. What was that thing? He wasn't a ghost was he?" Poor Sidney has never seen a creaturs such as Peeves.
caffeine princess ♬ lunchbox adventurer ❀ little rose
Nicoletta sat with her eyes wide again. Oh dang! Pleeeeease Raiden! she thought. She squirmed in her seat while they answered the Professor's question with her eyes squeezed tightly.
...yeah, definitely was a good idea to not be here. And yet... he was.
"Sir. I attempted to get the students under control, and I told them several times to not acknowledge his presence..." He looked at the Hufflepuff who'd shot gum up Peeves' nose, then a few others who had continued on. "Several refused to listen to me, it seems, and one actually attacked Peeves."
Had he done anything to get a professor?
"I didn't really have a chance to get a professor sir."
Please, please do not kill me. I did more than others did.
Quietly, he pointed his wand at Allison, casting a few charms to remove the water from her clothes without moving from his spot, and giving Ivory a little smile for her help with the gum.
Making signs for Ivory not to speak, Allison knocked her head twice on her wet desk as Ivory practically blamed them for everything that had happened there. Sure some students had done the incorrect things, and some had not listened to their superiors--we all know who Allison was thinking about, however the last thing she wanted was to take blame for anything.
The only thing she could do was thank Merlin none of the Ravenclaw prefects were there. And secretly thank Raiden in her head for removing all the ewness from her robes.
Jake hung his head down to keep away from Kazimeriz Gaze. Something was going to go horribly wrong, he just knew it would, he just knew it. This was not a good day, he shouldn't have come...why, why was he here.
chris look up scared to death. "Well Professor, like Raiden said, we weren't really alotted time to get a Professor. It all happened pretty fast. Then we did tell them to ignore him that way no one would give him the pleasure of making people upset."
He then looked at the room. He wished he could have done more.
Super Slytherin Buddy - ⅓ She-Snake Trio || EVIL Healer
Holy Merlin, Kazi was back and he was mad. Marie sat there just looking at Destiny and Evelyn hoping Kazi would not attack them. Taking out her wand she put a shield around herself just in case anything else went flying around the room. Now she was wishing she would have just waited until the second part of the class started before she came in. Yep, she didn't want scary Kazi mad at her this term.
Super Slytherin Buddy || ⅓ She-Snake Trio || 'I taste like chocolate and potatoes'
Angry Kazi was definitely scary.
He was more scary now then when he was huge, sausage fingers Kazi like last term. She wished that Kazi was here now. At least he couldn't yell when he was swollen.
Lowering her shield, the very very wet Destiny sat in her stool not saying anything. She did not need to tell him she had no part in the Peeve's catastrophe. He probably already knew who was to blame, she was sure of it. Kazi had eyes everywhere. Like those eyes in that jar on that shelf. They were probably his spy eyes.
Oh that KaziMan. Such a madman.
__________________
____________ooh, ooh, she's the rough and the rowdiest kid________ ooh, ooh, and there's more where she lives_____
Ivory having just noticed Allison not so covert movements felt the guilt well up. In all her attempt to not single out the Hufflepuff for blame, she'd forgotten about how she'd phrased her words. Immediately, she felt like slapping herself.
In her mind she mimed her voice in an overexaggerated falsetto, Sir it was in fact Peeves, although it'd be a blatant lie if you weren't aware of the fact that some would say he was provoked by us towards the end causing most of what you see. Some of us...well we shouldn't have answered some of his questions. We should've known no good would've come from it. Gosh what had she been thinking...
Seeing Raiden smile her way, she passed the small bottle of Mrs. Scower's Magical Mess Remover with some cloths to Allison so she could deal with any other boogies and gum on her person.
Biting her lip, she decided to try to fix her meaning, she continued.
"That is to say sir that when I say 'we' I do not mean everyone, actually," she grimced wearily, "it was just some... a few." She had half a mind to shout 'And it wasn't even me or Allison or Raiden' but she doubted the professor, in the state of mind he was in, would take to kindly to excuses. And besides from what she knew of this man he had ways of knowing exactly who'd done what and where and even with what. Sort of like an expert Clue player. She tried not to let the smile that this thought evoked show on her face...Kazi would probably think she was laughing at the situation...which she was so not doing.
"I see. And where were our noble Prefects during Peeve's reign of terror? Kururugi? Laksh? Potter? Did you do nothing to protect your classmates or obtain the help of a professor?" He raised an eyebrow and gave them a glare that clearly stated, This better be good, your house points may be in jeopardy.
She was in trouble.
"I didn't speak up because Raiden had already said pretty much everything I wanted to say, sir," Gold said, all slowly. GOD! She was so in trouble. "... and someone shot a wad of gum up Peeves's nose, before I could do anything. Peeves blew that all over the place and ... then you came."
She should SO have gotten a professor. But really, Peeves would probably have blocked the doorway, or something. But she couldn't tell Kazimeriz that. Really.

"Two points to each of you for attempting to control the situation. However, for the next incident-- and knowing Peeves, it is a question of when, not if, it will happen -- one of you should have tried to assist the students while another got a professor's help. Good prefects work as a team." he shook his head at them; clearly, they had failed.

"There is no need for that, Salazar. Lower your shield charm; your energy will be needed for this class." he glared at her.
"Now, then. The primary purpose of this first period is to teach the very basics of potions. The CARDINAL rule of potions--"squish, squish, squish, he made his way up the slippery wet floor to the lectern, "is to work cleanly. Your cauldron; your equipment, your workstation and your lab must be free from contaminants. It is evident, therefore, what you all must do before we are able to begin the lesson in earnest."
He looked around the filthy, ruined room. "This classroom needs to be cleaned so we can work properly. You will find cleaning equipment -- mops, brooms, rags, buckets and the like -- along with a fair amount of Mrs. Scowers' Magical Mess Remover -- in the supply closet at the back of the room. Work in teams, each pair of students is responsible for making their workstation AND THE AREA AROUND IT including the floor immaculate. Please do not use charms unless you are competent with them; we do not need new messes in this classroom. You have half an hour, so we can get the lesson in properly."
With that, he went to his desk and opened a drawer, taking out a journal and a quill. He began to take attendance quietly.
ooc: Time to whistle while you work! Please start to RP cleaning up the lab, working together; feel free to talk amongst yourselves as you work -- again, no chat threads please, keep your focus on the fact that you're in a class and act accordingly. The real, actual lesson will pick up in the mid-morning EST and should be fun, so I hope to see you there! Again, sorry for the delay. ~Xana~
not throwing away my shot | Slytherpuff | roll for initiative | woof you ❤
Emily looked up from where she was sitting when the professor entered. She looked at him, trying to keep her expression calm.
Then when he told them to clean, she jumped out of her seat. Then she realized sge didn't know whta to do. Emily looked around the room, seeing how other people would react.
After a moment she slowly walked over to the supply babinet and took out a mop. She went back into the room and began mopping up the water. She wished she knew spell to make it fastre.

Sure... throw the Hufflepuff under the bus. great!
"That was me. I used the 'Waddawasi' spell. Thats all I could think to do when I was being pelted with chalk and a potion that I'm pretty sure had some ill effects." he said. "It was a mess and there was chaos everywhere. No one could do anything. I think a few kids tired, or at least threatened to get the baron.' he said, trying to be totally honest and present the effect of being in the tumult.
