Walked into the Potions Classroom and took a seat. She is excited to be in another Potions Lesson, and it was actually her second to favorite, after History of Magic.
"Good Morning, Professor!" Janice greeted her.

Freya walked into the Potion classroom and saw Lafay already sat in her seat with a few potion ingredients on her desk. She wondered what will they do today. She hoped something new and fun. Fun?! Nah. She doubt that. "Hello. Professor Lafay." she greeted the potion mistress and went off to find herself a seat.

"Okay, then" Raven answered, smiling, "better idea Nika" he add.
Raven gave a glimpse toward the professor desk, before walking with Nika toward vacant seat.

Raven thinking of that powder dragon horn, what is possible with it.

Donning her green wig, the diva sighed as if she was the most important girl in the room because well... she was. Hadn't it been so blatantly obvious? There was that Sierra Greingoth again, acting as if SHE had been better than Velma--Velma Warfield! That little disgusting Slytherin girl was a disgusting sight to see and in attempt to act as the superior one in this classroom, she haughtily walked towards the professor in the most drastic "I'M COOLER THAN YOU" walk she'd ever done and then smirked Lafay a greeting before going to her seat.

She walked as if she'd noticed no one obviously because that was the simple rule in being better than everybody, wasn't it?

Then she spotted that little nosy Treyen rat (WHO STOPPED HER FROM HEROICALLY BURNING A FIVE YEAR OLD) and she only rolled her eyes, not even glancing at that--that PRUDEY UNJUSTIFIED PREFECT!

Now who else...

Wait. No. She was not wasting her time all Potions classroom on these types of people. The girl only stared at the table, curious and continuing that haughty smirky smirk of hers until the lesson started.

Wiliam quietly waits fir the assignment to start,

Ah~ Her all time favourite subject after Charms, Potions. Aiden looks like she is in a good mood today... So far... She walks into the class.

"Professor," greets Aiden politely as she lowers her head at the Potions Mistress before taking a seat at the first row of the classroom. She is eager to know what they will be learning today.

Alfie made her way into the classroom quietly, attempting to find some sort of familiar face. She began walking down the rows only to find that many of the seats were already taken, one of the only free ones left being next to a girl in the second row. Cautiously, the blonde set her bookbag down on the seat, giving the girl a hesitant smile, "Would you mind if I sat here?' she asked softly. "Most of everything else has been taken."

Walking into Potions, Ryden walked right to the back of the class and sat down at one of the few empty tables left. The brunette dropped her bag onto the floor and gazed around at the students, looking for familiar faces. Well, particular familiar faces. She also knew of a few faces she would NOT want to see.

Eyeing the professor after she'd determined that the familiar faces she wanted to see weren't there, Ryden had to admit that she looked ok. Certainly fit the "Slytherin Head" description, which was the only reason Ryden had bothered showing up for. Not because she wanted to learn Potions. Nope nope. She could just as well look up the homework after class and learn from that instead.

Hearing the small russtle as a book bag was sat down on the seat next to her Sophie looked up smiling brightly at the girl. "Hi! No, feel free to sit down." Pushing her backpack under her seat to give the younger girl more room the lioness prefect nodded "Well, that happens. In some classes like Potions which are popular you have to be early if you want a good seat." It was something the lioness prefect had learned through her years at the school.

'Good day Professor', Gwen greeted as she walked in. She looked around and noticed Ari sitting alone. The girl went straight to her.

'Hi! Can I sit here?', she asked her friend.

Ari was happy to see Gwen, and nodded merrily when her friend offered to sit by her. 'Sure, but shhh, I don't want points to be taken. We can talk after class.' So what if she was cautious? Caution only did good. Ariadne didn't want to risk Gryffindor loosing its leadership position in housepoints. No way.

Penny seen her room-mate entering the dungeon and waved over to her, indicating a free seat beside her....
She hadn't had much opportunity to talk to Niss for a while now

Gwen took a seat near Ari and listened to the girl talk. Class hasn't even started yet..., Gwen wanted to tell her, but decided that she should shut up. Instead, she only rolled her eyes, out of reflex.

Finding her way into the potions classroom, Mina walked up to the front and looked for a seat. Well, maybe not the front front. It was more like the second row, she wanted to get a good spot and hear everything. Yes, she was at times a bit nervous that she might be fit ablaze, but she would risk it.

"Good day, Professor," she smiled as she settled in her seat and pulled out her needed supplies.

Alfie gave a warm smile as the older girl immediately allowed her to sit there, removing her own book bag so she could have more room. The blonde took her seat, gently moving her own bag underneath her feet so as to clear room on her writing space, "Thanks." It was then that the older girl began to explain that with some classes like Potions, you have to be early to grab a good seat. Alfie's blue eyes focused in on the girl's wisdom with a soft smile, giving a brief nod and a small chuckle. "Yeah, I seem to be learning that the hard way," she admitted with a shake of her head, still finding her own schedule and best routes to each class.

Carr removed her hat and placed it on her backpack on the floor beneath her seat and pulled a hair tie from her pocket, fastening her long hair up and out of the way. She folded up the sleeves of her robes to get prepared and waited. Can't screw this up. Can't screw this up. Can't screw this up.

"Master Taylor," she said nodding.

"Hello Miss Kieren," She said.

She returned the smile in greeting.

"Good day Captain Bennett" She said.

"Miss Samson..." She said.

"Hello Miss Eden." She said.

"Hello Miss Marchbanks." She said.

"Miss Flores." She said.

"Good day, Prefect Connolly," She said.

"Hello, Miss Hopkins." she said to the next student.

"Ahhh Master Uronen." She said motioning to the seat in front of her table. "Please. Sit here."

"Master Gunter." She said nodding.

"It is I'm sure, Master Montcenaggio." She said.

"Master De Simpson," she said glaring at the boy.

"Good morning, Miss Swan," she said.

"Good day, Miss Stewart-Quinn" she said.

"Hello Miss Adler." She told the girl.

"Hello Miss Laughgood," She said.

"Hello Miss Deluise..." she said.

"Good day Miss Fanster," She told the child.

She returned the boy's nod.

"Hello Master De Lacerda," She said.

"Miss Greingoth." she said with a nod.

"Miss Lewis." She said with a raised eyebrow.

"Hello Master Hutchinson." She said.

"Hello Master Keaton." She said.

"Hello Master Black." he said.

"Miss Basthowe, I suggest you read the rules of the school. Although you are allowed muggle clothing during your time at Hogwarts, you are not allowed to show up in classes, especially MY classes, out of uniform!" She said angry. "Two points."

"Miss Adler." She said. "Yes. Powdered."

"Miss Erised." She said.

"Good Day, Miss Dupont" She told her.

"Hello Miss Scott," She said to the girl.

"Good Morning Miss Perevell." She said.

She bowed her head in return and said "Good Day to you, Miss Hollingberry."

"Hello Miss Sinclair," She said.

"Hello Miss Spinks," She greeted the girl.

"Morning Master Kim. Please, come sit by me." She said motioning to the other seat before her.

"Hello Miss Evans," she said.

"Hello Miss Lovegoods," She greeted.

"Good Morning Master Salander, and no. Nothing survived the fire." She said to the boy.

"Miss Husainn," She said watching the girl sit.

"Prefect Lockhart, Congratulations on a well played game." She said.

"Good Morning Miss Elizabeth." She said.

"Hello Miss Salvatore." she said with a nod.

Hecate raised an eyebrow at the girl's odd greeting... a smirk? Really?

"Miss Heartnett," she greeted.

"Miss Di Marco," Staring is rude.

"Good Day Miss Greene." She said.

"Good day Miss Bennett," She told the child.

"Miss Jones, Miss Black, Miss Moretts, Miss Port, Miss Jones... I require that my students, especially my Slytherin ones, greet me upon entering my classroom." She told the girls. Rude Much?

"What you see on my desk, are a few ingredients two of you have given to me, knowing the potion stores were destroyed. You can thank Master Kim and Master Uronen. So today we are going to find more ingredients to replenish my stores. Let's start by you all telling me where you could find a potion ingredient on the grounds and which potion would you use it in." She was serious, and waited for their answers.

Conan raised his hand, "Valerian roots. And you can use it in the Draught of the living death. They are by the Groundskeeper hut." If he remembered rightly.

Noooo no no no no.

She didn't expect them to look for disgusting icky yucky ingredients, did she? Well, apparently yes.

"Maybe we can find leeches around the lake," Helena suggested, with her hand raised. But thinking twice about it, she regretted the fact that she said that. What if professor Lafay was going to make HER look for leeches?! Anyway, she had to go on. "I remember that we used leech juice for the Shrivelling potion."

"We could also find some simple ingredients around the grounds, like caterpillars" or other bugs "or daisy roots, also used for the Shrivelling potion."

Fallon raised her hand. "There can be a bunch of different ingredients in the greenhouses. Perhaps there is some sneezewort there...which can be used in Confusing and Befuddlement Draughts." And that was the extent of Fallon's potions AND herbology knowledge. She didn't even know if they had that plant...

Ex-cuuuuuuse me?

Greet her? She did greet her. Since when was a smirk not a greeting? Well--it was the best greeting that Velma Warfield could muster for the time the professor mentioned all of those names, she merely stared at the professor, giving her an inquisitive look, and shaking her head to herself. And the audacity to mention "MISS JONES" and not "MISS WARFIELD" WAS JUST NOT RIGHT.

So, in attempts to be nice (or slightly less smirky in her head) she gave a lethargic wave, not giving any eye contact and sighed as she stared at the ground.

Oh there was a question.

She raised her hand. "I suppose you could go to the Magical Creature Nursery and obtain several ingredients from those little--ratty--things," she scoffed and shuddered, rolling her eyes, "they serve no use in the world than to just sit in that nursery all day like a--" *COUGH* she stopped herself (BUT IT WAS ALL TRUE) and continued answering the question, "there could be some Jobberknolls in there for us to PLUCK that are used in Memory Potions or Truth Serums... or even Ashwinder eggs for the Love Potions."

Simon thought for a moment on what ingrediants could possibly find on Hogwarts' grounds, especially in the middle of winter. The seventh year finally raised his hand to supply an answer. "Perhaps peppermint could be found in the greenhouses or the kitchens for the Elixir to enduce Euphoria," he said lowering his hand.

Well, this was a surprise. Treyen, however, didn't let the surprise show and smiled politely at Lafay, "Thank you, Professor," he said, and nodded once.

He'd had a very worthy opponent...who would've caught that Snitch if Sierra hadn't thrown her bat at Treyen, hitting Lola instead.



Come on! Seriously? She was still mad at him? He'd done nothing wrong! Nothing. She was the one that didn't aim well.

But then, AT LEAST, she greeted him, and he relaxed even more when he saw a smile make a way to her face. He smiled again, and took out his Potions journal and quill as he waited for Lafay to start the class.

Treyen raised his hand at once, but his mind had gone blank, soooo, he went with the first thing he thought, "Wouldn't the Student Gardens or the Greenhouses have some sneezewort, or lovage, or scurvy-grass? We could make a Confusing & Befuddlement Draught," he said, before raising his hand again, "Or Mandrakes, if Professor Bentley has some in the Greenhouses, to make a Mandrake Draught." Was the name Professor Bentley?

O_o

He forgot.

Finding a table near the side of the room, Evelyn settled her stuff down just as Lafay started speaking. Oh for the love of Merlin...they weren't going on another scavenger hunt today, were they? She had enough of that last term. "Could probably find a few creature...things...on the grounds like leeches. I know there should be some by the lake." Hmm, found them there last term. "The leeches are used in shrinking solutions...." And polyjuice potion. She doubted they'd be talking the polyjuice potion though. Darn.

Presley was mortified. Master Black? She was a GIRL! She looked like a girl, right? She sank into her seat in embarrasment. She was too humiliated to even hear the question that had been asked. Presley put her hands to her face. Why her? Why? She remembered that she was determined to have a good day. This stupid thing about the professor's confusion about her gender was not going to change that conviction. She sat up straight and tucked her bangs behind her ear, listening to the responses and hoping to figure out the question.
