Hecate had brought a tray with a few items on them. Flowers, Shellfish, Strawberries, peanuts and other things. Her large cauldron was seated on it's burner, which was not lit, before her.
She was in a good enough mood. Things were going well in her personal life. She just needed to get used to certain things... that would come with time. She opened the classroom, and waited for her students to file in.
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!
Jordan took a second to actually remember the 5 Cs before finishing off his notes. He picked up his quill and quickly jotted down everything necessary to the potion.
SPOILER!!: Jordan's Notes
Antillergen Potion
Use: Stops the reactions of allergies when taken for a year at a time.
He took out his wand, casting a scourgify on the cauldron instantly cleaning it. As he began to hum to himself, actually feeling content... Almost happy. Once he'd finished, he waited for further instructions from the professor.
Then, what is the first step? Raven took her cauldron and make sure it was clean enough. "Scourgify." After that, she pour some water to her cauldron. "Aguamenti." and she waited for the next step.

Sophie was then about to fill her cauldron with water when she heard other students using some kind of spell to clean it up first. She had never used that spell, but she decided to try it out. Looking inside her cauldron, she pointed her wand at it. "Scourgify!" Sophie frowned as she didn't see any big differences in the cauldron. She wasn't sure if the spell hadn't worked or if her cauldron was already clean enough... or perhaps they weren't supposed to see the difference anyway. Oh well. She was still pointing her wand at her cauldron. "Aguamenti!" This spell she had already used a few times, so she was just fine with it. "Finite." There! She smiled and waited for the next instruction.
Zhenya got all her potion supplies ready and wrote down the ingredients which had appeared on the board. Okay plus she needed to remember the 5 C's of potion making. Well she knew her cauldron had to be clean so she said "scourgify," to scrub it clean. when it was all nice and clean, she read the first instruction which was to fill the cauldron up with water. Well she hoped it was the first ingredient. "aguamenti," she said, and her cauldron filled up with water.

She pulled out her wand and though long and hard about what to do first. The 5 C's of potion making. Cleanliness. She gave a flick of her wand and said, "Scourgify". Her next step was to add water. With another flick of her wand she said, "Aguamenti." Okay water is checked off the list...what next?

Jonathan took off his robes and put folded it, then put it onto his bag. The robes will get in the way, it might set on fire if you're to clumsy or you stay to close to fire. Not too good. Jonathan is always excited to brew something for potions class. What you learn theoretically, you produce it by brewing it. Fun stuff.
Of course this is Lafay's class and what Lafay likes is cleanliness and organized in every step of brewing. That's why there's the 5Cs. Jonathan placed his cauldron on the table and took out his wand as well. He pointed the wand onto his cauldron "Scourgify" cleaning it. Before putting the water in, Jonathan decided to copy the ingredients on the board. This could be very helpful in the future.
Okay, now time to fill up the cauldron with water. Again he pointed his wand inside the cauldron "Aguamenti" he uttered and saw water filling up the cauldron this time. Now to wait for Professor's further instructions.

Basil and papaya? Now those were some interesting ingredients. Sky jotted down the ingredients then got to work setting up her cauldron. First, she cast a couple quick "Scourgify!" at it. Then she used the "Aguamenti!" spell to fill it with water. She was feeling pretty good, having actually remembered to clean her cauldron before filling it with water.

As usual, Stella had stayed silent during most of Potions, simply listening to everything and deciding whethe ror not she thought this term was going to be a repeat of last term. At least the fact they weren't brewing a hate potion was a step in the right direction, even though she wasn't entirely certain how she would test an Antillergen potion when she had no allergies that she knew of. And she still didn't trust her potionmaking skills enough to ask Matt later if he had any allergies. Just because she passed her OWL hadn't convinced her that she couldn't still fail.
As they were instructed to begin brewing, however, she shifted into motion. First step, making sure everything was clean. Her cauldron was already in front of her, so she leaned over to examine it closely before taking her wand out of its holster. "Scourgify," she cast, making sure to run her wand deliberately over every inch of the interior of her cauldron, as well as the outside just to be absolutely sure Professor Lafay wouldn't find anything wrong with her cauldron. She remembered last term, when several people's cauldrons had been overturned for not being clean, at least one of which fairly close to her own workstation, and she didn't want to inadvertently cause a repeat. And, once she was certain her cauldron was clean, she pointed her wand inside it once again. "Aguamenti," she cast then, letting the water that flowed from the tip of her wand slowly fill the cauldron, before ending the charm and turning to her notes. She didn't want to forget those.

Antillergen Potion uses: to deaden allergic reactions for a year
Glenn listened intently to the professor then reread a dozen times the ingredients when they appeared on the board. She was NOT going to mess this up.
She scribbled the ingredients list in her journal then set about cleaning her cauldron, "Scourgify." Glenn said clearly, pointing her wand at her cauldron. The layer of dust whipped off it, leaving it sparkling clean. She was surprised how it had gotten so dirty over the summer. Now, to fill it with water, "Aguamenti!" Water jetted out of her wand and filled her cauldron. Now, what next.

"Yes, but which ones?" She asked.
"Which ones." She said rolling her eyes, "I'm asking you all for ingredients, not a type of ingredient."
"We know what it needs to be... we need the ingredient names." She shook her head.
"Yes. Valerian root is used because in combination with the other ingredients, it help render the allergy dormant."
"Salamander Blood, yes, it helps with the healing. The Wiggentree bark would counteract with the Valerian root, and St. John's wort causes more allergic reactions than are necessary." She said shrugging.
SPOILER!!: Bezoar
"But this isn't a poison, and a bezoar is too strong for this potion." She said "What we are making is a potion that will deaden the allergic reactions for a year at a time."
"Yes dock leaves, for precisely that reason. It's a natural antihistamine. But certainly not sneezewort. That causes more allergies." She answered.
"No snakeweed combats venom." She said. "That's more to combat a poison."
"Bananas? No. Bananas have many medicinal properties, but none of them are anti allergies." She said.
"Belladonna is poisonous when ingested... which means it's a type of poison... so... no." She said.
"Yes. Water is the base of the potion." She said and smiled. "Very good."
Hecate blinked. The boy was correct... but it surprised her. He was never the smartest kin in her class. "Uhmm... yes. to all three. Ashwinder Eggs, Fluxweed and murtlap essence are key to this potion."
"Uhmmm, no..." She said with a shrug.
"Yes they would." She said with a nod.
"Uhmmm... I'm not familiar with those." She said and moved to the next student.
"Very good Miss Greingoth," She said with a smirk.
"Raw honey is quite powerful, yes. It's an ingredient." and she nodded. "Very good."
Moving to the board she magically made the ingredients appear on the board:
"Alright now. Start by filling your cauldrons with water! And don't forget the 5 C's of potion making." She said and walked through the class.
Vickers smiled to himself, happy that he got one of the ingredients right. And given the list of other ingredients listed he was starting to form in his head how this potion might actually work. He drew out a fresh parchment and his quill and began to list the ingredients down in his notes.
He looked up again wondering what the 5Cs were. Was that some kind of spell? He hesitated for a moment before proceeded to prepare his potions materials anyway, the way he always did it at Salem. He took out his cauldron and scourgified it to clean it, inspecting it for any cracks just to make sure it wouldnt leak. It was then that he cast the aguamenti spell and filled the cauldron with water.

Potions class lesson 1#Antillergen Potion
Question 1: If you are allergic to anything in this room please come up to the front of the class and identify it! Answer 1: Nothing.. so far! Question 2: What is an allergy? Answer 2: An allergy is an inappropriate response by the body’s immune system to a substance that is not normally harmful Question 3: What might be in the Potion? Answer 3: An anti substance to the allergy!
The five C's of potion making
Five C's: Color, concentration, care, cleanliness, and content
''okay,'' she hummed to herself ''Scourgify,'' she pointed to the cauldron, then looked inside it, all seemed to be at perfection! She smirked a bit... Lafay's class SO changed people! Although she was being a 'nice' teacher today! She liked it
''Aguamenti,'' she waited for the cauldron to fill up, then she looked up to Lafay for further instructions
Selina wanted to throw up. The practical end of potions always made the redhead dizzy and sick in anticipation. Something was bound to go wrong, it always did. However, the redhead could not say for certain what would go wrong exactly. It was always a process with Selina, sometimes she would obviously mess up a part of the potion and it would blow up, while other times she did everything correctly and the potion still made individuals sick.
So when Lafay instructed them to begin she took out all of her supplies with shaky hands and placed them on the station in front of her. Then she drew out her wand and said softly, "Scourgify." And the cauldron was clean and ready. Then she filled the cauldron with water, "Aguamenti."
Like a Domino ♥ Karma Kimalia ♥ ♥ Taco Bell ♥ Sorry for party rocking
Yay, the five C's.. Kimalia casted a quick, "Scourgify" watching the cauldron sud up and down cleaning it before casting "Aguamenti" when the suds vanished to see it now fill with water. Kimalia wasn't sure if they needed to heat it up next before adding the ingredients so she waited.
"Alright now. Start by filling your cauldrons with water! And don't forget the 5 C's of potion making." She said and walked through the class.
Oh? Snakeweed combats venom? Granted that she had given a wrong answer, Beezus yet still copied down the ingredients mentioned by her classmates and added its uses based on Professor Lafay's explanation. She could refer to the list if they'll be asked for ingredients again.
Moving on..as the list of ingredients appeared on the board, she jotted them quickly on her parchment.
After doing so, Beezus walked over to where her cauldron was, scourgified it first since they were to follow the 5 C's and cleanliness was one and then took out her wand, pointed it towards the cauldron, "Aguamenti.." she uttered and a jet of water rushed into the cauldron from the tip of her wand. Estimating the level of water and settling for more than half of the cauldron, she pulled back her wand and waited for Professor Lafay to announce the steps.
Then Nate started to fill his cauldron as he remembered the five c. He pointed his wand at his cauldron and said "Augamenti." Then he said "Scourgify."
"Alright now. Start by filling your cauldrons with water! And don't forget the 5 C's of potion making." She said and walked through the class.
Ella neatly began copying the ingredients down on her parchment, not wanting to miss anything. Then, putting her quill down, she took up her wand and pointed it at her cauldron. She knew that to fill it she would use aguamenti but the other students were using scourgify first...hmm. Taking a note from the older students, Ella pointed her wand at her cauldron and said, "Scourgify." She wasn't really sure what was supposed to be different so she shrugged and began filling the cauldron with water. "Aguamenti." When she thought there was an adequate amount, she pulled her wand back and looked up at the Professor.
As she was getting her cauldron ready and pulling her wand out she thought about the 5 C's and about last years class when students didn't use the C's. Ok the C's are Color, Concentration, Care, Cleanliness, and Content she thought to her self. Then looking at the cauldron she pointed her wand "Scourgify" Once Minerva knew the cauldron was clean she pointed again "Aguamenti" the water began to fill in the cauldron. Minerva noticed she had enough water so she pointed "Finite" and placed her wand back into it's proper place.

Moving to the board she magically made the ingredients appear on the board:
He then took out his want and cleaned his cauldron "Scourgify!" he then filled it with water as that was the first ingredient on the list and also the professor had said to fill their cauldrons with water "Aguamenti!! he filled his cauldron.. he then waited for further instructions but not before crossing off water on his list..
Messer picked up his quill and wrote down the ingredients in his notebook. After he finished writing the ingredients, then he heard the Potion Mistress said about the 5 C's. He had read about that. The 5 C's were Cleanliness, Care, Color, Concentration, Content. Yup. That was it.
Messer took his wand, pointed at his cauldron "Scourgify!" When he was sure that his cauldron was clean enough, he pointed his wand again at his cauldron "Aguamenti!" the water started to flow from the tip of her wand and slowly fill the cauldron, he cast the Finite charm when the water was at the proper level.

Uses: deaden one's allergic reactions for a year at a time
Procedure:
Clean the cauldron
Fill cauldron with water
And then she remembered the 5 Cs as the professor reminded them about that. Cleanliness. That would the most important for her before and after she finished making a potion. She took her wand, pointing at her cauldron,"Scourgify". It was clean enough now. Then she filled it with water, casting the spell,"Aguamenti". That made a good preparation for making the potion. All she had to do now was to wait for the professor for further instructions.

Laura copied down the notes into her notebook before getting her wand out and filling the cauldron up with the Aguamenti spell, she wanted to have some fun and start a water fight but she didn't really think this Professor would like it and she'd probably get into a lot of trouble so she decided against it.
Laura looked around and realised her cauldron was getting full and so she moved her wand onto the floor but forgot to stop the spell for a couple of seconds. "I'm sorry Professor." Laura sighed as the spell stopped, well it was an accident and the floor was just a bit wet but well she didn't know the spell to dry it up or she would have done.
"Alright now. Start by filling your cauldrons with water! And don't forget the 5 C's of potion making." She said and walked through the class.
Water, the base of every potion. After repositioning her cauldron so it won't fall, Janice whispered "Scourgify!" to clean the interior. Then, she put the Aguamenti charm to fill it with water. She took out her Potions notes and wrote down the ingredients of the Antillergent Potion. This particular potion would probably be very useful for her since she has a lot of allergies.
Silvia wrote down the ingredients and then turrned to her cauldron. What were the five C's? she thought. She was just a first year and not particularly interested in potions, but there must have been a mention of it in the first chapter of the textbook if it was so important. She glanced around at the other students and heard a number of them saying scourgify. Ah, a cleaning spell, Silvia thought. Silvia was very familiar with the cleaning spell; she witnessed her mother use it numerous times. Then cleaning must be one of the five Cs. It definitely made sense.
She pointed her wand at the cauldron and said "Scourgify." It was hard to tell if it had made any difference; but then, this was her first ever potion so the cauldron couldn't be that dirty to begin with. Plus she had wiped out all the dust that had been collecting in it last night. Having made sure the cauldron was clean, Silvia said "Aguamenti," and watched as water fell from the tip of her wand and into the cauldron. Once this was done, she waited quietly for further instructions.
Ok so they were making a potion to relieve the effects of an allergic substance...ok I guess that could come in handy later for someone.
August looking inside his cauldren and didn't see any visible contaminents but that was never the way you checked though. Pointing his wand inside it he said, "Scorgify." and then once it was clean he filled it with water. "Aguamenti."

She was pretty sure that she had them all down, but she sometimes had a bad memory unless she checked her notes. Meh. She'd worry about it when the time came. For now, she just worked on emptying her cauldron out. When that was done, she pointed her wand at it and said, "Scourgify." Now it was nice and clean for when she did her potion.
She changed the position of her wand now, to point into the cauldron, saying, "Aguamenti." When she had enough water in the cauldron, she placed her wand down again and waited for Professor Lafay to give the next instructions.
