Why were there people with different colors of hair than what they were supposed to be? Then the Professor explained that the spoon was supposed to be cleaned off. He lucked out. He then updated his notebook, wrote down the assignment and began cleaning up his workstation.

Marie was still pouting about her dark colored hair, (even though the professor said it would wash out) when she looked up and seen that Carter's hair was finally growing back, and it was blonde. Well at least he was smart enough to clean his spoon off. She smiled at him just a little, "I'm glad to see you got your hair back, and it's the right color." She then glanced back down at her own hair and felt like screaming again when she seen it. She did not want her hair to be this color.
She quickly started cleaning up her work station so she could get out of there and go take a shower. She didn't care if she had to wash her hair ten times, she would do it so she could have her beautiful blonde hair back.

Carter finished washing out his cauldron. After packing up he heard Marie. "Wow, you look different." he said. He kind of liked it. Not as much as he loved her blonde hair. But still, it was nice. "Oh, yeah. Thanks. I kind of cleaned it off on accident." he said with a laugh. After packing up he asked: "Shall we get out of here?" He then turned to the Professor and said, "thanks for the lesson." before exiting the classroom. That was actually the safest potion's lesson he'd ever had. And everyone said this Professor was crazy...

Marie finished putting her things away then wrote down the homework assignment. Great, how was she sippose to know what was on that spoon that turned her hair this hideous color! Boy was that an understatement Carter made. Her hair looked more than different, it looked hideous, or at least that is what she thought. Putting her journal in her bag she said, "Yeah, I'm ready to get out of here." She started to walk out when she was suddenly...
"Crap!"
She had forgotten for a minute that she was still tied to Destiny. "Let's go Destiny, I'm not waiting around all day for you," She drug her friend out into the hall with her not even paying attention to if she had all of her things.

After allowing it to simmer for those 30 minutes, Mina continued on. She could see the end near and soon she would have her hair back. Now that was something to really look forward to.
Alternating between the Saw Palmetto and the zinc, she added those finish ingredients. Setting the spoon down, she reached for her journal and wrote everything down.
The time had come for her to finally see if it worked. Reaching for the spoon again, she cleaned it and dipped her spoon in. Bottoms up. And down the first spoonful went. Then the second and third..........Stopping after she noticed her hair was about the same length, she smiled. Yes, it was back. Her beautiful hair was back. Looking around finally, she noticed all the others with hair, strange colored hair. Blinking slightly, she shrugged it off as she turned her attention back to Professor Lafay.
Okay, now it made sense to her all the odd colours. Laughing inside slightly, she started to clean her workstation and jotted down the homework. All in all, it wasn't all that terrible of a lesson. At least, she didn't have to go to the hospital wing this time.
Double checking her area and the surroundings, she gathered her things and moved to leave. "That was a great lesson, professor. Thank you," she said politely before she turned on her heals and was out the door.

Following Professor’s Lefay directions he add the Gotu Kola, and charmed his stirrer to mix the potion nine times one way, and one the other. As it stirred Patroclus ground up the mandrake leaf and added just as the tenth stroke was completed.
Now came the time to repeat the stirring FIVE times, FIVEEEE TIMES, but he didn’t mind as he wanted his hand back.
Next Patroclus introduced the honey fluxweed leaves, peppermint sprig, and the Re’em blood into the mix, as well the crumpled knotgrass blossoms and the wriggling rats tails.
For 30 minutes day dreamt, about his hair, ‘I need it back’ he thought, ‘there’s a breeze’.
Finally the last step, holding the Saw Palmetto and Zinc over the cauldron and alternated in dropping them in, making sure they were in equal measurements.
AT last it was time to drink the potion! HAIR TIME!
As the potion touched his lips a curious feeling occurred onto of his head, ‘YAY hair!’ he thought to himself. Seeing his reflection he noticed it was bright Green. “ARGH! It’s green! Professor, do we have permission to go straight to the showers!?!”

Willow smiled putting out her cupcakes on her desk for anyone to take if they wanted. She finished the last step of the potion and started drinking it until her hair was at its proper length. She checked it in the mirror and said "Hmmm a shade or 2 lighter than my normal purple color, but I quite like it." After packing and cleaning her station she walked up to the professor and said "Another great lesson filled with unexpected surprises. Can I offer you one of my cupcakes before I leave?"

Finishing up the last step, was to drink the potion. Emma drank her potion and noticed something coming out of her head. It was her hair, but this time it was chocolate brown and wavy. This is a new look, she thought, What would my parents think? Emma smiled and cleaned up her area. "Thank you Professor for the great lesson." she said, walking out of the classroom with all her books.
"Step four." she said "This needs to be times perfectly, so watch me before you do it. You will add the Gotu Kola and set the stirrer to magically stir 9 times clockwise, once counter, but before you do, you will place one of the Mandrake leaves in the mortar and crush it with the pestle in the same motion and at the same time of the 9 stirring, pouring the herb in with the 10th counter stir."
After the lavender, Kate dropped the cup of Gotu Kola. Then, she took out the mortar and placed a mandrake leaf in it. At the same time, she charmed a stirrer to make 9 clockwise turns and one counterclockwise with her wanded hand and took the pestle with the other.
1 clockwise stir in the mortar (1 stir in the potion) ...2 (2)...3 (3)...4 (4)...5 (5)...6 (6) ...7 (7)...8 (8) and 9 (9)...1 counter clockwise stir in cauldron (adding the grinded leaf)... PERFECT!
"Finite encantamem" The stirrer stopped.
She did this 4 more times so every mandrake leaf was added.

Thank God! I was starting to shake...if the potion doesn´t turn well, I will be bald for at least several hours (and I don´t want to...)
What do I need for the next step? The wooden spoon and a dropper. eww the spoon is full of mucus.
She cleaned it and placed it on the table, next to the new dropper she bought.
Kate took the ingredients and start pouring them onto the cauldron:
1,2,3,4,5...6 spoons full of honey (haha I sound like Mary Poppins...) for the potion...and one for my mouth haha mmm....I´ll need to clean this again later.
twelve leaves of Fluxweed..right
The peppermint...(mmm..smells good)
Careful with the re´em blood-----! o___o phew! 1 drop...right then...

Do we have to stir everything before we add the blossoms??! Professor Lafay didn´t say anything...So I won´t do it.
Kate took the blossoms and crush them over the potion, then added the rat tails.
"eeeewwww arghhh"
The potion was fuming severely.

"CUPCAKES!" She said summoning the cupcakes from her office. Three batches. "I have cupcakes... you can have... cupcakes." Right... this being nice thing was not working right... "These here were left at my door, these are from Miss Flores and these... are from Miss Reagan's... she looked at the students and said "I'm sure you don't mind my sharing..." She said. "I don't have a sweet tooth."
Cupcakes cupcakes cupcakes!!! mmm...sugar!!!!!!!! SUGAR!!
I want one!
Kate opened her eyes like an owl and run where the cupcakes where. She extended a hand and took one. "Thank you Professor, this is really kind of you." She smirked and giggled, then returned to her work table.
After thirty minutes, the potion was boiling slowly and the cupcake had disappeared.

She walked around the tables and found that all the kids had pretty good potions. "Take a spoon full and drink from it. Each spoonful will allow you to grow an inch of hair."
Kate finished her potion and took the spoon, full of honey. She cleaned it and served some of the potion. "Cheers!" She said, and drank. She sipped another 11 spoonfuls of potion...
wait...wait ....wait....
She touched her head and...THERE WAS HAIR!! HER HAIR!
yay!!!

Kate cleaned her cauldron and the other things. She wrote down the homework (Thank god I cleaned the spoon!!!!") and grabbed her bag. "Good bye Professor. Nice class. Funny and practical. thanks again for the cupcake" She said, and left.

Once done, she she picked up her bag, and would have left. Except, she remembered staying back to help clean other people's workstations - most people didn't bother to clean them properly, just picked up their own belongings and maybe bottled a few things, before leaving - for Professor Kazimeriz. Which made Gold's steps falter, somewhat.
"Professor?" She asked quietly. "Would it be okay if I stayed back, to clean up the workstations?"
She wasn't even sure if Professor Lafay would let her. But Gold had a firm belief that this was certainly worth a try.
"We have house elves for that." She said and then rolled her eyes. "Ten points for offering though."

She hopes she never sees another cupcake again. Sidney passes on the cupcakes and instead drink her potion. One spoonful followed by another spoonful and then another until her hair is back to its normal length. She takes off her bandana and runs her fingers through her hair. It's nice to have her hair back. Everything's fine until she cleans up her work station and looks in the mirror over the sink. "What in Merlin's Beard!!! My hair is yellow, not blond, but yellow like the Hufflepuff house colors. Then Sidney reads the homework assignment. Professor Lefay has played another trick on them. Sidney is relieved when Lefay says it will wash out. She writes down her homework assignment and gets ready to leave class. "Interesting class Professor. I enjoyed it. Sidney puts her yellow bandana back on. She'd rather wear it than explain her yellow hair.

Standing up, she cleaned up her station, finally able to remember a few of those cleaning charms that would be good for this. She had to keep reminding herself that the color wasn't permanent, however, it didn't keep the frown off her face. How could she mess up and not clean her spoon? That should've been second nature for her to do that!
Writing down the homework, before putting it away, she wrote down in capitals in her notebook to clean her utensils before...consuming anything. After though, Evelyn packed up her bag before taking out a hair tie and putting her hair up into a messy bun.

She called it first!

"Oh well, time to take a shower." hopefully it will return to normal as the Professor had said. She fixed her materials and tidied her workplace.
"Um, bye professor." she quickly said as she turned and headed for the door.

He'd done it! Well, with the help of Professor Lafay and her instructions, but it was his OWN potion. Practically.
He didn't even notice if his hair was any different until he noticed the color of the others in the class. And his eyes widened, until he saw his reflection and....blinked. Soooo...his golden brown hair was not precisely there...it was only a bit more golden...like Gilderoy's! Like the sun! Not too big of a change, compared to the others.
Oh, well, he'll have his normal color soon. And if not, he didn't mind being a bit more golden.
Treyen wrote down the homework, "Thanks for the lesson, Professor!" he said, while gathering his things....and he left. Lockhart out.

When it finally stopped growing it was a bit longer than it had been... but that was fine. No big deal. And, she couldn't complain. Evelyn's hair was blonde, and hers had grown back a perfectly normal shade. Phew.
Kylie stood up, a little light-headed, and cleaned up her area. She knelt down and scribbled the homework down before going off, hopefully to find her friends and have a quick bite to eat. She was starving.

She then glanced back down at her own hair and felt like screaming again when she seen it. She did not want her hair to be this color.
She quickly started cleaning up her work station so she could get out of there and go take a shower. She didn't care if she had to wash her hair ten times, she would do it so she could have her beautiful blonde hair back.

He then turned to the Professor and said, "thanks for the lesson." before exiting the classroom. That was actually the safest potion's lesson he'd ever had. And everyone said this Professor was crazy...

Putting her journal in her bag she said, "Yeah, I'm ready to get out of here." She started to walk out when she was suddenly...
"Crap!"
She had forgotten for a minute that she was still tied to Destiny. "Let's go Destiny, I'm not waiting around all day for you," She drug her friend out into the hall with her not even paying attention to if she had all of her things.

Alternating between the Saw Palmetto and the zinc, she added those finish ingredients. Setting the spoon down, she reached for her journal and wrote everything down.
The time had come for her to finally see if it worked. Reaching for the spoon again, she cleaned it and dipped her spoon in. Bottoms up. And down the first spoonful went. Then the second and third..........Stopping after she noticed her hair was about the same length, she smiled. Yes, it was back. Her beautiful hair was back. Looking around finally, she noticed all the others with hair, strange colored hair. Blinking slightly, she shrugged it off as she turned her attention back to Professor Lafay.
Okay, now it made sense to her all the odd colours. Laughing inside slightly, she started to clean her workstation and jotted down the homework. All in all, it wasn't all that terrible of a lesson. At least, she didn't have to go to the hospital wing this time.
Double checking her area and the surroundings, she gathered her things and moved to leave. "That was a great lesson, professor. Thank you," she said politely before she turned on her heals and was out the door.

1 clockwise stir in the mortar (1 stir in the potion) ...2 (2)...3 (3)...4 (4)...5 (5)...6 (6) ...7 (7)...8 (8) and 9 (9)...1 counter clockwise stir in cauldron (adding the grinded leaf)... PERFECT!
"Finite encantamem" The stirrer stopped.
She did this 4 more times so every mandrake leaf was added.
Thank God! I was starting to shake...if the potion doesn´t turn well, I will be bald for at least several hours (and I don´t want to...)
What do I need for the next step? The wooden spoon and a dropper. eww the spoon is full of mucus.
She cleaned it and placed it on the table, next to the new dropper she bought.
Kate took the ingredients and start pouring them onto the cauldron:
1,2,3,4,5...6 spoons full of honey (haha I sound like Mary Poppins...) for the potion...and one for my mouth haha mmm....I´ll need to clean this again later.
twelve leaves of Fluxweed..right
The peppermint...(mmm..smells good)
Careful with the re´em blood-----! o___o phew! 1 drop...right then...
Do we have to stir everything before we add the blossoms??! Professor Lafay didn´t say anything...So I won´t do it.
Kate took the blossoms and crush them over the potion, then added the rat tails.
"eeeewwww arghhh"
The potion was fuming severely.
Cupcakes cupcakes cupcakes!!! mmm...sugar!!!!!!!! SUGAR!!
I want one!
Kate opened her eyes like an owl and run where the cupcakes where. She extended a hand and took one. "Thank you Professor, this is really kind of you." She smirked and giggled, then returned to her work table.
After thirty minutes, the potion was boiling slowly and the cupcake had disappeared.
Kate finished her potion and took the spoon, full of honey. She cleaned it and served some of the potion. "Cheers!" She said, and drank. She sipped another 11 spoonfuls of potion...
wait...wait ....wait....
She touched her head and...THERE WAS HAIR!! HER HAIR!
yay!!!
Kate cleaned her cauldron and the other things. She wrote down the homework (Thank god I cleaned the spoon!!!!") and grabbed her bag. "Good bye Professor. Nice class. Funny and practical. thanks again for the cupcake" She said, and left.
"Mhmmm..." Hecate said not looking up from her papers.

As the potion touched his lips a curious feeling occurred onto of his head, ‘YAY hair!’ he thought to himself. Seeing his reflection he noticed it was bright Green. “ARGH! It’s green! Professor, do we have permission to go straight to the showers!?!”
"Go..." She said shaking her head... kids.

After packing and cleaning her station she walked up to the professor and said "Another great lesson filled with unexpected surprises. Can I offer you one of my cupcakes before I leave?"
"No thank you, as I said, I'm not one for sweets." She said. When every student had finished and gone, Hecate locked the door and left.
