Hecate was not one to dilly dally. She opened the door to the potions classroom and placed on each desk some potion ingredients and waited for the students to file in.
1 gallon of Buffalo Milk Cottage Cheese
1/2 cup of bran cereal
2 tbls of Salt
1 chopped asphodel leaf
2 tsp of dragon (Peruvian Vipertooth) marrow
4 tbls unicorn horn powder
A packet of muggle Jell-o gelatin
1 Freshly cut newt (warty newt) tail
2 Crushed sopophorous beans
5 squeezes of Liquid Marshmellow
ooc: This class will stay open for at least 72 hours (probably more.) Also thanks to Antarctica! for taking the picture of the Potions Classroom for me at the WWoHP, and to Ameh for makin it into a pretty graphic!

...
"I think you two mean that it helps with the healing..." She said.
...
What was WRONG with these kids! After looking at Destiny silently, she didn't bother answering.
... She looked at the girls and said, "Uhmmm no."
She sighed. "It aids in the healing process, and has some of the minerals required for bone growth." She said and raised the marrow. "This bone marrow is an important ingredient in a bone regrowth potion. It's a magical creature's and not a human's though. The reason for that, is that a human bone's marrow won't magically adapt itself to the DNA of the patient, while this creature can. Which creature's bone marrow do you think this is?"
Kurumi watched as the dragon lady's face began to get agitated with some of their answers...she didn't even respond to the one! Kurumi went back to her notes to add about the leaves before trying to think of some animal that could have strong bone marrow. Wait...did she go out and kill an animal for their potion's class? This was worse than the phoenix tears from last lesson. Hmm...an animal that is able to adapt easily...the first thing that popped into her mind was a boggart, but wouldn't that be impossible considering that no one knew what a boggart looked like? Kurumi decided to not make a fool of herself and waited to see what animal this was. Unicorn had already been offered as an answer, and while that had also popped into her mind...wasn't that....not good to slay a unicorn?

Potions III - bone regeneration potion
Ingredients:
*Cottage Cheese
water buffalo's milk is best as it is highest in calcium
*Bran cereal
high phosphorus and works together with calcium to build strong bones
*Salt
sodium in sale is an essential part to making bones and the body cannot function without it - despite being unable to produce it itself.
*Asphodel leaf
aids in the healing process, and has some of the minerals required for bone growth
When you're stuck in a moment and your spark has been stolen .................................................. ........... this is our time to own it, so own it..................................... baby we were born withfire and gold in our eyes
She sighed. "It aids in the healing process, and has some of the minerals required for bone growth." She said and raised the marrow.

The reason for that, is that a human bone's marrow won't magically adapt itself to the DNA of the patient, while this creature can. Which creature's bone marrow do you think this is?"
"Is it unicorn" she said. She looked at the professor her anwser to the last question might had set her off what if this one did the same thing oh my gosh what would she do. Just coware under her book.
"It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you are not."

Alice made a note in her notebook what Professor Lafay said about the asphodel leaf.
Alice felt herself shiver. "Professor Lafay, would we be using either a unicorn bone marrow or a phoenixes?" Alice certainly hoped not since it seemed kind of cruel to take a bone marrow from such pure creatures.

Salander looked at the marrow. Eh... it could be from anything. he mused as he listened to the rest of the class. But there was a ticklish thought at the back of his head, something that Fletcher-- or rather his newfound twin Jack, had lampooned him with at the stands "Could that be a marrow from a salamander Professor, since its been known that they can regenerate their lost limbs?"

Finally he raised his hand to answer, one creature coming to mind.
"Is it the bone marrow of a thestral?" he questioned thinking of the only creature that came to mind when thinking of bone or skeleton.
"Nope..." She said.

"No." She called on someone else.

But, back to the question and answers. "Perhaps the bone marrow of a boomslang?" Eh, well the skin of those were used in polyjuice potion and, for some reason, growing bones and turning into someone else, connected in her mind.
"No..." She said shaking her head.

"Good guess, but no." She said to the boy smiling at his comment to Fletcher.
"It's Dragon Marrow, more precisely a Peruvian Vipertooth. It is strong, compact and contains the minerals we need for bone regeneration... Because the Viperfoot is native to Peru, you'd think muggles would know of it's existence. They do not. Some people believe that particular type of dragon has camouflage abilities and that is why the marrow adapts to a human's... I'm not sure how true that is, but it works." She then took the horn powder and raised it. "Unicorn Horn, powdered this also has many minerals and properties to strengthen and re-grow bones." She said and then she pulled out the Jello packet. "Who knows what this is? You each have a different flavor. What is it, and why is it used?" She asked.
Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna
Simon updated his notes as the professor supplied the correct answer before his eyes passed over his own packet of the stuff. He knew what it was...having been exposed to muggle items like it since his childhood and he tried to remember some of the characteristics of it that might be useful to a potion especially a bone-regernation one.
"Its Jello, Professor, a type of gelatin," he supplied after raising his hand. "And if I'm not mistaken gelatin is processed collogen...a protein found in bones among other things," he added as it came to mind hoping it was right for once.

The cottage cheese was already inside his cauldron, not before cleaning the cauldron thoroughly, and then his eyes widened in surprise.
Dragon?
Wha--?! His head was tilted to one side as he thought of...the dragon. Surely Peruvian Vipertooth was the smallest, but a dragon nonetheless.
His hand was raised, "It is gelatin, Professor...or, well, once prepared it is, right now it's only powdered gelatin" if that made any sense, but he had no idea why they were using this Jell-O packages, really, he preferred pudding, "The real gelatin has something to do with collagen, no? And that helps with all sorts of regeneration" he said, not knowing precisely what the real relation was between gelatin and collagen, it was too complicated, "Though, not sure how collagen fits the powdered gelatin we have here" because it was an animal thing.

Aand dragon would have been another guess. Oh well, she probably would have said boggart first and received a scary look from dragon lady. Kurumi chuckled to herself at the thought of them using dragon marrow in potions class as was instructed by the dragon lady. -snicker snicker-
Kurumi then picked up her packet of Jell-O and smelled it. Oh! Raspberry flavor, one of her favorites. "Professor, this packet contains a powder contains powdered gelatin and some artificial sweeteners." She set her packet down on the table. "It dissolves in hot water and will set when cooled. Gelatin is a protein produced from collagen extracted from the boiled bones, connective tissues, and intestines of animals. My family never used this brand of Jell-O...we always used a vegetarian type because my brother had issues with eating horse hooves." Was this potion going to end up like a Jell-O shot? That sounded like a terrible idea...
She went back to her notes to add in the previous details about the bone marrow.

Freya raised her hand "It's a gelatin, Professor. Gelatin is collagen that has been irreversibly hydrolyzed. We used it because without collagen, even though we may be able to digest calcium to the point that it gets into our bloodstream. Without collagen in the bone tissue, there is nothing to hold calcium in our bones when the blood travels through." she said and lowering her hand.
Dianna looked at the packet of Jell-o.
"It's gelatin, Professor. Derived from the collagen inside animals' skin and bones. It is commonly used as a gelling agent in food. Also jell-o varies from different flavors and colors." she said as she lowered her hand.
Mmm.. She haven't had jell-o for a long time..

Alice let out a small sigh of relief. She was glad that she was wrong! Copying down what Professor Lafay said about Peruvian Vipertooth and powdered Unicorn Horn, Alice looked up when she asked what the packet in her hand was.
"That's instant jello, isn't it Professsor? And I suppose given it's spongy consistency and the way it kind of forms into a big blob when you make it, it could be used to hold the ingredients of the potion together?"

"Precicely, yes, collagen protein is very important for the bones." She said and then looked at Hollingberry's parchment. He pointed to the horn powder and repeated, slower. "Unicorn Horn, powdered this also has many minerals and properties to strengthen and re-grow bones. I'm not skipping it, I'm just going over it in a faster manner."
She moved away from the child and continued. She held up the tail, which was still wiggling on it's own. "What is this and why are we using it?" She said.
Oh, how couldn't he notice that? The tail was moving, eek! Poor animal, whatever the animal was. Then again, if it was still moving, then the animal could survive without it, no? And what kind of animal survives without its tail? Probably some sort of gecko, or reptile thing. Snakes didn't, right?
Hand raised. "A tail, Professor...and I guess, whatever animal it had belonged to, the tail has the ability to regenerate itself, not to mention the flexibility it holds, aaand..." he had nothing further to say.
"It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you are not."

Alice raised her eyebrows. Was that tail moving....without a body? The only animal she knew of that could still wiggle after being cut in half was a worm, but worms didn't have tails and that was far too big to be a worm.
"I'm assuming that's a tail to an animal, but as to what animal I'm not entirely sure. Is it the tail from some kind of lizard?"

Dianna blinked twice before realizing that the tail was in fact moving on it's own.
"It is a tail, Professor. Maybe because some tails such as lizards can be grown back..?" Dianna said as she lowered her hand. She wondered whether it was going to be squiggling forever. It is rather weird and annoying to watch.

Good thing Kurumi had not had lunch today...Dragon Lady holding up a wiggling tail was really really gross and disturbing. "Professor, is that the tail of a Skink? They are the most diverse group of lizards that can release their tail at will...and it keeps moving to distract whatever is attacking them..."Kurumi had had an unfortunate encounter with one when she was a child. Thought she had killed the poor little guy and came home crying. "Or...perhaps a salamander's?"

Ewwww, ewwww, ewwwww! Tail wiggling! Wiggling tail-thing! EWWWW!
It was Potions after all though, she might as well get used to it. She took a deep breath. "Perhaps the tail of a gecko, Professor? The nerves in the tail twitch randomly sometimes, and it still flicks to warn off predators." she stated, the wiggling tail wanting to make her scream. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
She moved away from the child and continued. She held up the tail, which was still wiggling on it's own. "What is this and why are we using it?" She said.
"Its a tail, Professor", she spoke up.
Seeing the last answer had been right she had gotten a little more confident.
"And maybe the tail can regenerate itself,whatever animal it belonged to."

Hand raised. "A tail, Professor...and I guess, whatever animal it had belonged to, the tail has the ability to regenerate itself, not to mention the flexibility it holds, aaand..." he had nothing further to say.

"I'm assuming that's a tail to an animal, but as to what animal I'm not entirely sure. Is it the tail from some kind of lizard?"

"It is a tail, Professor. Maybe because some tails such as lizards can be grown back..?" Dianna said as she lowered her hand. She wondered whether it was going to be squiggling forever. It is rather weird and annoying to watch.

Thought she had killed the poor little guy and came home crying. "Or...perhaps a salamander's?"

It was Potions after all though, she might as well get used to it. She took a deep breath. "Perhaps the tail of a gecko, Professor? The nerves in the tail twitch randomly sometimes, and it still flicks to warn off predators." she stated, the wiggling tail wanting to make her scream. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
"It is a type of lizard, yes, it's actually from the Salamander family, and it's used in potions a lot. It's a newt. It's used for its regenerative properties. See, newts have the ability to regenerate many bodyparts... limbs, eyes, spinal cords, intestines, upper and lower jaws... even hearts." She said and turned to allow everyone to see the newt tail. "This is from a warty newt, or crested newt which are native of this area..." She put down the tail and pulled the sopophorous beans. "What are these and why are we using them?" She asked.

A newt? Oh my Gilderoy! Poor newt!
Treyen...knew he had to make the potion, but he didn't feel like throwing a moving tail when the time to start brewing came. Hopefully the tail wouldn't move, and trust him to levitate the poor little tail into the cauldron, yes...unless...did they have to cut it?
He eyed whatever Professor Lafay was holding, ooooh, hand raised, "Those are sopophorous beans, no? And...because they can help a little with the pain that comes with regenerating a bone? Like, calming properties?" haha, he had no idea.

Right.
Evelyn was soooo paying attention and not playing with the newt tail. Or poking it with her wand, or anything of the sort that caused a few giggles to escape her every now and then. Because, Evelyn, did not, giggle. At all! Pffft.
Pfffffffft.
Looking back up to Professor Lafay, she was kinda hoping they would just get to making the potion, and learn what the ingredients are for as they went along, but well, she wasn't about to suggest that. She'd rather stay in class, then be kicked out.
"It's a sopophorous bean." she said, looking at the on that was ones on the table she sat at. "And..." Though why they were used, she had no clue. Beans were a form of calcium right? Or at least, some of them. Maybe. Then again, they were used in that living death potion thing if she remembered correctly. "Maybe they make you relaxed." So, regrowing bones doesn't hurt as bad.

Was she going to turn them all into newts if they brewed the potion incorrectly? It seemed like something Dragon Lady would try and then have a complete new supply of newt tails *cringe* Kurumi returned to her notes to add the newt detail.

Potions III - bone regeneration potion
Ingredients: *Cottage Cheese
water buffalo's milk is best as it is highest in calcium
*Bran cereal
high phosphorus and works together with calcium to build strong bones
*Salt
sodium in sale is an essential part to making bones and the body cannot function without it - despite being unable to produce it itself.
*Asphodel leaf
aids in the healing process, and has some of the minerals required for bone growth
*Marrow
Peruvian Vipertooth marrow - this dragon is believed to have camouflage abilities and that is why the marrow adapts to a human's
*Horn powder
Unicorn Horn, powdered this also has many minerals and properties to strengthen and re-grow bones
*A packet of Muggle J-ello
to taste yummyfor it's gelatin
*A Tail
newt tail for it's regeneration properties
*Sopophorous beans
*liquid marshmellow syrup
Sopophorous beans...Kurumi had no idea outside of them being difficult to cut and being one of the ingredients in Draught of Living Death. What did a sleeping potion and bone regeneration potion have in common? Numbing? "Professor," Kurumi said with her hand raised. "Do the juices of the beans numb the bone regeneration process so it doesn't...hurt?"
