3 - Poisons (A Theoretical Class)
 

Hecate sat on the desk in the room, tired and worn out. It had been a long night... though... a fun night. Her stroll on the grounds was quiet and pleasant, and she enjoyed hiding behind the broomshed...

Now it was time to work. And she was going to excel at it.

Bring on the children.

Selina walked into potions ever fretful. She had been taking Potions for over six months now and she still did not get basic brewing. It was too abstract of a thinking pattern for her. Selina was a wand's witch, she preferred spells and to be in the action. Perhaps that was part of the reason she was in Gryffindor. None-the-less Selina walked up to the desk and said, "Good morning, Professor Lafay."

She then took her seat and saved a few at her table for her friends.

Potions. GRIN.

A very happy Lockhart, which seemed like a very odd sight these days, managed to get to the Dungeons again....after....well, yeah, that meeting. The boy actually wondered if Sierra was coming today, something told him she was.

So, anyway, the boy stood by the door before letting out a, "Good day, Professor Lafay!" followed by a small nod, and then he proceeded to take his usual seat near the front. Near, okay? NOT right there at the front. Just to be clear.

Well now, wasn't this one of her favorite times of the week. Potioons. Hmmm. Even if she did practically live next to the classroom, the Slytherin still thought she should leave just a few minutes earlier then she normally would.

With her bag over her shoulder, a small grin on her face, and totally not thinking of anything in particular...Evelyn made her way into the classroom. Huh, how come Lafay got to sit on her desk, yet they didn't get to sit on theirs? Then again, did anyone even dare to try? "Good day, Professor Lafay." she made SURE to greet the woman before moving over to a desk near the front but to the side.

Notebook, check! Quill, check! Cleaned counter top...not check. What in the world? Pfft.

Ah, it was time for the class that made her day. Potions. She never really knew why it was her fovorite subject, but she just caught onto it so quickly that it seemed like nothing to her. As Elektra walked into the classroom she looked over at Professor Lafay and looked at her. "Hello Professor." She said before seeing her dumb-witted, red headed, friend and sat down by Selina Skylar. "Hey hey hey fire head."

Charley walked happily to the dungeon classroom, a little out of breath from a speedy trip down the staircases.
"Hello, Professor Lafay!!" she said with a small wave and a big smile. She sat down at a seat in the middle of the classroom on the left, took out her materials, began writing a to-do list, and waited for her friends and other classmates to arrive.

Selina was already taking out her notes and quill and such for the lesson when she heard the Princess of Potions herself, Elektra. Looking up from all of her preparation Selina said, "Hey there, do you think I need anything else? Am I forgetting something? Like a book or quill or something?" Selina gestured to the huge compilation of supplies on her desk. She wanted to do well in Potions.

Violet walked into Potions with her happy-go-lucky smile as usual. She saw the Professor and gave her a gentle wave before she said lightly,"Hello Professor Lafay, I hope you're day is going well!" Violet smiled at her brightly and then saw her two best friend quickly taking the seats next Elektra and Selina. "Oh my two best friends, ahh how wonderful! How are you two today? Excited to learn some new potions? I know I am.." Violet giggled and then took out her swan quill feather and her parchment and placed them neatly in front of her.

Emily walked into the Potions classroom, eager to see what Professor Lafay had in store for them today. Emily could ahrdly contain her excitement, potions was by far her most favourite subject and she couldn't get enough. This class was exactly what she needed right now, something to distract from recent events.

"Hello Professor", she said cheerfully as she took her usual seat at the front of the class.
Emily took out a reem of parchment and smoothed it out onto her desk. She pulled out her ink-well and her bright blue quill and set them on her desk beside the parchement, all ready for note-taking.

Oh Merlin, did Elektra just want to laugh. She loved how Selina would freak out every single time she was in potions class. Elektra looked at everything that Selina had and Elektra decided to mess with her. "Selina...you forgot so much! Quill and and parchment isn't the only thing you should have today. Didn't you check the notice board for the class?"

Lexi reluctantly made her way into Potions class. SIGHS. Lafay was a creeper, she didn't care what anyone else thought. Mhm. Not that she would SAY that. EVER. Hitching her bag higher on her shoulder she looked at the Potions Mistress as she entered, gave her a BIG smile, and said, "Good day Madame Lafay." Before casting a glance around for her boyfriend...

Hmmm... she didn't see him so she toook a seat near the back and plopped down BY HERSELF. SIGHS.

"Yes I did! Oh no, I must have missed it. Merlin, this is why I check it everyday, to avoid any problems like this. Now I did it anyway. What kind of student am I if I forget what I need to do for class?" Selina was so upset until she heard the voice of Violet walk into the room.

As she sat down Selina put her head in her hands, "No! Because I'm unprepared!" Selina said gesturing to her plethora of supplies.

Kurumi entered the potions classroom still feel like an emotional wreck even after the talk she had had with Selina the night before. Spotting Lexi, Kurumi avoiding all eye contact and made her way towards the front of the room where she put her book down on the table and took her seat.

"Good day, Professor Lafay," Kurumi said trying to sound cheerful, but sounding more meloncholy than she had intended.

She looked over at Selina who was chatting perhaps a bit too much with her friends, but didn't have the energy nor the desire to say anything.

Elektra nodded her head and then sighs. "Oi, woman. You really don't pay attention do you?" She said disappointed at Selina and then couldn't help but laugh and look at Violet then at Selina. "Oh, Merlin you are too easy Selina!"

*wants to hide behind the broomshed too*
 

Destiny was in a rather good mood as she skipped her way to the Potion's classroom. Her happy mood might have been because she had just found an awesome new hiding spot for her chocolates OR because she knew that Lafay, deep down, considered her, her favorite student EVER. Whichever the reason, though, it wasn't important.

"Hullo, Professor!" she greeted, finding nothing strange about the woman sitting on a desk and definitely not noticing how tired and worn out she looked. But even if she did find the sitting on a desk strange and even if she did notice the tiredness, Destiny wouldn't have questioned it.

Everyone knows not to question that woman!

Taking a seat at the table behind Evelyn, just in case a certain someone wanted to sit next to her and so she could annoy Evelyn with pssst noises and throw little pieces of paper at her head, Destiny placed her bag under the table and started rooting through it.

Best chocolate hiding spot ever!

Violet looked at Selina put her head down in her hands. She looked a little confused and was giving a confused look. Violet looked at Selina's head and then looked at Elektra before she whispered,"Wa-was it something I said?"

Luin walked into the potions classroom, noticing the teacher was sitting on a desk. She shrugged and moved towards a place to sit. As she did so, she looked over and, this time, remembered to acknowledge the professor as she walked in, "Hello, Professor Lafay." she then sat down and brought out her quill and parchment.

Maybe it wasn't her brightest idea, taking a nap before potions class, but she had been DEAD tired, so a nap was necessary. That, and her waking later than she'd plan had her pulling her hair into a messy ponytail as she rushed into the classroom. Only to realize that she wasn't late.

Oh.

Well she supposed that was a good thing, though she wish she'd known so she could have stopped for a snack. A polite smile was sent to Lafay as she weaved through the desks, making her way to the one Sabel occupied. "Hey Professor."

Swinging her bag off her shoulder, she placed in on the floor beside her as she took a seat, sending a softer smile to Sabel. What they were doing today, she didn't know. All she did know was that they had to wear entirely too much for class.

Elektra couldn't stop laughing. She put a hand to her chest and sighs. "Oh, oh, my goodness! No, Vi, it's not you. I just--" Elektra couldn't stop laughing. "Oh you should have seen the look on your face Selina."

Lexi spotted Kurumi walk in and TRIED to give the ickle baby Lion a smile... but she was not having it. Kurumi that is. SIGHS. Unrequited crushes...

Kind of stunk that Lexi was getting the cold shoulder when really she adored her little lioness pal. Oh well. Nothing new really... someone being upset about something that she DIDN'T really DO to wrong someone.

Clearing her throat, Lexi looked away and focused on her book instead. Hopefully Kurumi would let the ANGST go for Potions... or Lafay might eat her or somefink.

It seemed to Mia that she was forever down in the Potions classroom and it was by far her least favourite class. Not because of the Professor or the content of the class. Because she had to really concentrate in this class and that wasn't exactly her fortay.

But oh well.

She was here yet again.

Stepping into the classroom, Mia gave the Professor a faint smile. "Good day Professor Lafay." She was almost tempted to ask the woman what was wrong because she was looking particularly haggard. But yeah. Mia wasn't that stupid.

Instead she walked further into the room and took the seat behind Destiny, who was sitting behind Evelyn. All they needed now, was for Marie to sit behind her.

Hehe.

Violet was little puzzled at what was so funny. She gave a nervous smile at first and wasn't exactly sure what to do. But what Violet did have to admit was that Elektra's laugh was a tad bit scary.. She just gave a light giggle along with it...a nervous giggle...an unsure giggle. But it didn't last long before her "giggle" had stopped.

Elektra slowly stopped laughing and fanned herself and ran her fingers through her hair. "Ooh, I needed that. Only you Selina...only you." She smiles and looks at Violet. The look on her face made Elektra wonder and she said. "Violet you seem...like you have to go to the bathroom...you alright?"

Lucy entered the class potions was not really her favorite. But it happened that she liked Professor Hecate, she was lovely according to Lucy.
She saw for a seat and went and sat there and said "Hey, Professor! how's the day?" she said and smiled waiting for an unusual reply..
