Professor Culloden is welcoming you by the door again with an eager smile. Only after greeting him can you enter the classroom. The soft, calming blue walls welcome you for this term's earliest lesson. I hope you are well awake, because the chairs with soft cushions, charmed to take the most comfortable shape and height once a student is seated won't help you stay awake. By the door of the potions store room stands one big, grey rubbish bin and a white, porcelain washbasin with a tap for those who wants to wash their hands before/after the class and who can't perform 'Aguamenti' charm.
When you turn your eyes to the blackboard, you see an ENORMOUS magical picture that depicts a grinning Professor Culloden. That's not the peculiar thing about it, though, but that he's lifting a hatcback muggle car over his head as he's doing step aerobics.
What a show-off.
OOC: If you are going to RP your characer use the washbasin or the washbasin, you don't have to take Cosgrach's permission. Just assume he has granted it.
The lesson is in progress, so don't post your characters arriving late! Just act as if they have been there all along.
Potion progress
• 2 kilograms of dragon heart (a few grams more/less doesn’t matter)
• 1 pomegranate
• A cup of re’em blood
• One mature salamander’s blood
• 2 unicorn tail hairs
• Powdered griffin claw
• 2 snake fangs
1. Add 2 litres of water and the unicorn tail hairs one by one
2. Turn the heat to high and add the dragon heart
3. Wait until it boils and add pomegranate
4. Turn the heater to medium and wait for five minutes. In the meantime, mix re’em and salamander blood in a bowl and stir them five times clockwise and five times counter clockwise and crush griffin claw (doesn't have to be a perfect powder - just crush as well as you can withOUT magic).
5. Add the blood mixture slowly and THEN, the powdered griffin claw IMMEDIATELY.
6. Wait for ten minutes and add one snake fang
7. Put the fire out and add the other snake fang
8. Stir counter clockwise once
9. Drink a cup of the potion in one go, while still hot
Notes
- Tastes like metal
- Good for anaemia or lack of iron
- Do not drink more for longer duration, but rather drink another cup after you feel it’s wearing off. If you drink more than a cup, it will make you feel too dizzy to stand straight.
- To conserve for a week after brewing, add a cup of ice from pure water
- The colour is bright yellow
- For the first few minutes after drinking, sit and let your body and muscles adjust to it. Once you feel fresh, go around being super strong, and don't worry: you can control it.
- You can omit the heart part by adding a glass of water, counting to 18 and adding pomegranate. You can also not mix Re’em blood at all and add another pomegranate instead, but this will reduce the effect to one tenth.

So ten minutes later, one snake fang was present inside the second year's potion. Ignoring the commotion that happened over the time, she turned her attention back to Professor Culloden.
Extinguishing the fire, Leah added the second snake fang in and scourgified the stirrer. Stir once anti-clockwise. Eeep, the potion was now yellow! Not as bright as others', but at least it was not a dull color either. Now tired of scourgifying, Leah muttered a scourgify at a cup and scooped her potion in it. That was when a much older girl looking for a partner. "Hi, I'd love to try your potion. Would you... like to test mine pretty please?" she asked nervously, approaching the girl with her cup in hand.
Lily hadn’t had to wait long for someone to hear her. Of course, that could have actually been a bad thing, seeing as she still didn’t particularly want to drink the potion at all, whether it was her own or someone else’s. She didn’t really care if she wasn’t able to lift a car or anything else completely ridiculous, but it was the assignment. It was for points, and she also didn’t exactly want to lose any. She had given the little Hufflepuff who had approached her a smile. It wasn’t her fault she wasn’t anxious to drink anything that had blood and everything else they’d put in it. Besides, the girl seemed like she was just as nervous. Unless it was from approaching her, but that would be easy to fix. “Hi,” she replied, sliding her own cup of potion back and forth slightly. “Sure, why not?” That seemed confident. A lot more confident than she actually was when it came to drinking the potion.
“I’m Lily,” she continued, trying to get the girl to feel maybe a bit more comfortable. “Did you want to try the arm wrestling or the hammer after we’ve drank the potions?” She’d let her choose. She didn’t want to accidentally break anybody, and seeing as she was the older student, she figured it was her responsibility to make sure that didn’t happen. Even if she didn’t know if either of their potions would really work. She wasn’t going to scare a younger student by accident.

Dec did the same, occasionally looking up to see if she was making any faces at his masterpiece. "Er...it's yellow alright." There's his conclusion.
HOORAY! He passed the girl's test. Smug smirk. Declan raised his cup as she did, "To us!" He toasted, clinking his cup against her's.
One...two...THREE!
He drank the potion in one swig, hoping he wouldn't be able to taste it. Unfortunately, he did. HUNGMPH. His hand flew to his mouth, this rusting metal taste filling it. Dec tried to send eye signals to the younger girl to see if she was having the same reaction to it.
Braving it, he took a seat, pushing another seat to her, so she could sit down as well, and waited for the potion to settle in. Boy, was he queasy. Blegh.
This DID NOT taste good.
Maddie didn't catch any of the looks the older boy was throwing but she WAS making quite the face. Her nose was wrinkled TOO and she squirmed uncomfortably for only a moment before her expression relaxed. She really shouldn't have been surprised since the stuff had BLOOD and HEART pieces in it.
Noting the older boy had pulled out a chair for her, the small brunette nodded and sat down beside him. "That was different." And they just had to wait now, right? Until they felt...powerful? Or refreshed or SOMETHING. Tick tock, potion. We don't have ALL day.
...
After what seemed like FOREVER but was probably only 5 minutes, Maddie sat up straighter. She felt GOOD. Good enough to win an arm wrestling match against THIS guy, that was for sure. And so she turned her body towards him and propped her little arm on the table. "Alright, let's do this." GRIN GRIN GRIN! Did she mention she was feeling GOOD. Powerful good. She was SO going to WIN!
Was that a smile? Why yes it was. Cutty found the bit of magic done to expose the blackboard and the ingredients for the potion they'd be brewing interesting. What other things could fold and unfold like that? People? Objects? No, only objects.
He needed to get himself a pet, but in the meanwhile he took out his quill and carefully wrote down the ingredients they'd be needing.
Quote:
• 2 kilograms of dragon heart (a few grams more/less doesn’t matter)
• 1 pomegranate
• A cup of re’em blood
• One mature salamander’s blood
• 2 unicorn tail hairs
• Powdered griffin claw
• 2 snake fangs
Quill down he resumed the usual task of recleansing his instruments of brewing; the cauldron and no less than five stirring sticks, because he was tired of having to put down his preparations in favour of having to pick up his wand and have to cleanse his stirring stick yet again. He had started the habit of pre-cleaning his things before class, but he considered that it might've looked better if the patient actually saw him wash his hands with his own eyes. In other words, being an eyewitness was worth ten-thousand testimonies.
"Aguamenti." He fired the water spell into his now cleansed measuring cup until he had two litres. He poured the contents into his cauldron and added the exotically textured unicorn tail hairs.
Text Cut: Step 2: Heat & Dragon heart
"Incendio." He moved his wand to cast the flame beneath his cauldron, then gradually grew it until it was big enough that he'd consider it a high heat. This probably meant that it would boil sooner rather than later. Best act fast.
Cutty took a small, approximately two kilo chunk of dragon heart for the potion and took it back to his work station. It was slimey, wet and bloody. He was, for a moment captivated by it and so he held it close, CLOSE to his eye for inspection. He was tempted to lick it, but instead he only smelled it before placing it into the cauldron. Freakshow.
Text Cut: Step 3: Boiling & Pomegranate
He was watching over his cauldron, looking for that first sign of a little bubbling. It came with tiny bubletts at the bottom which spiraled up toward the surface of the potion. Larger bubbles came after and in more rapid successfion until no doubt about it, that water was definitely bubbling. Rather unceremoniously, Cutty added the pomegranate to that motley crew.
Cutty took up his wand and lowered the heat beneath his cauldron. He had 5 whole minutes to get that Griffin claw crushed and the bloods mixed.
H'mm, no magical processes in the prepping of the griffin claw? Cutty had been wondering about that. Not constantly, but it was something he'd considered before here and there. Even though Cutty didn't find that most people were all too smart, it still seemed like more people would prep more of their potions ingredients quickly and cleanly with magic. There you had it! It must've had an effect sometimes with some, maybe even most or all potions.
Wand out he pointed at his mortar and pestle. "Scourgify!" Then at the mixing bowl and spoon. "Scourgify!" He put his wand away and fetched the re'ems blood. He'd heard this was powerful stuff. Like the sort he'd drink before every game if he were a Pro-Quidditch player. He wondered if there was a way to test for that in the clubs. Once returned with it, he poured the re'ems blood into the bowl and added the salamander's after it. Five stirs clockwise, then another five anti-clockwise. He set it aside spoon still inside of the bowl. He tossed the griffin claw into his mortar and used the pestle to chop it into smaller bits that'd be easier to pound against the bowl of the mortar. He ground the chunks up rather crudely and began to swirl the gritty substance ever more until it had a flour-like texture, even if a bit uneven at first.
Text Cut: Step 5: Add the prepped ingredients
Time was up. And he was meant to add the blood mixture to the cauldron slowly. He wouldn't mind knowing just how slowly Culloden meant, but taking a que from everyone else, Cutty was able to get the idea. He lifted the bowl of blood and tilted it so that a thin trickle about the size of a stick of incense flowed out into the cauldron. It took a while before the entirely of blood was added into the cauldron but the moment it was Cutty grabbed the mortar and almost tossed the pestle into the cauldron with the talc-like crushed griffin claw. Inshallah! That was fast enough.
Text Cut: Step 6: Snake Fangs & Stirring
He had to wait for another ten minutes. He wasn't really patient, Cutty wasn't, but he always found ways to pass the time and waste not what he was given. He grabbed the mortar and pestle, "Scourgify." And the bowl, "Scourgify." Before moving on to the stirring instruments he'd used thus far. He began to pack away all the things he'd used but left out a phial for storing and dispensing the potion as well as another stirrer because one never could tell with potions. He went through his textbook and flagged some of the information on blood it covered. He watched the clock carefully and not a minute after it struck at the ten minute mark Cutty was tossing in one of the thin syringe-like snake fangs.
"Finite!" He spoke the words to put out his fire and added the other snake fang and with the remaining stirrer, he gave it one anti-clockwise stir. Almost immediately the texture and colour of the potion began to change and for a while there, Cutty was unsure if he'd done it all correctly. He looked around to compare it with others and saw that it looked usable. He dug out the measuring cup from his potions tools and cleansed it before scooping up a bit of the potion.
"Any takers?" He said offering anyone who still hadn't tried the potion of another.

Reluctantly dragging his eyes away from Jasmine's legs, he looked up at her and grinned. "Have you always been that feisty? Or is that my potion talking?" he asked her teasingly. "Actually I believe, that big things come in small packages," he winked at her as he flexed his biceps in front of her again, his eyes brimming over with laughter.
"Wrist wrestle...arm wrestle. Okay let's do it, and if your hand isn't hurting too much we'll move on to the hammer," Cris nodded, as he placed one arm on the table and waited for Jasmine to lock wrists with him.
Responding to Cris' question, Jasmine said, "Both". "I've always been feisty and competitive, but your potion has taken it to another level. So give yourself a hand. Your potion making skills are excellent and now I'm going to take you down."
For just a moment, Jasmine allowed her focus to shift. She couldn't help but observe Cris' bicep now because it was on display right in front of her, "Man this boy is buff", Jasmine thought to herself. Shaking off those thoughts, Jasmine reminded herself that mental toughness was going to be the key to her victory. Sure, Cris was stronger than she was, but could he out-focus her? Concentrating hard on the task at hand, Jasmine put her arm on the table and grabbed, Cris' hand.
"OK we start on three. One, Two, Three." Jasmine pushed with all of her strength and all of the potion's strength. The fact that Cris didn't immediately slam her arm on the table in victory was somewhat encouraging. She hoped that he was giving his best effort because she did not want a pity win.

Why did he even bother asking if anyone wanted to work with him? It wasn't like he was liked by other students... But he still needed to drink the potion because super strength was like super awesome! Kevin looked around and found a Slytherin searching for someone as well. With a sigh, the Gryffindor got up from his seat , making sure to take the cup of potion with him and placed it on his table. "Here, drink" he said. "Give me your cup" he REALLY wanted to try the muggle toy thing, he was sure he could break the thing!

This activity was going to be a peice of cake. Thank goodness Bay could brew a good potion!
While Zander was counting down Bay was adjusting his grip on his new friends hand. "go" yelling he started to put his weight behind it.. "dude.." he said in amazement, Zander was so strong Bay felt like he couldn't go anywhere GULP!!!
Trying to push that hand over Bay started to work up a sweat. Thats when he looked up "mate.. are you even trying?" shocked… he was just plainly shocked…

He handed her the potion he'd brewed and took hers. "After you, sis," he said with a chuckle. This was gonna be funnnnn!
Sophie glanced down at her two cups of potion. She'd added that ice cube in, right? ... Right. She'd done that before she left her work station. Okay, good. Some of the homework taken care of right there. She looked back up at her brother. "I don't need you to be easy on me. Just give me your absolute best, and I'll still beat you," she said with a grin.
She looked over at whatever that Muggle toy was and shrugged. "Okay, sounds cool," she said. He was handing her his potion, so she passed over hers, as well. She looked down at her brother's potion. It was bright yellow, so she trusted it worked. With another shrug, she tilted the cup toward her mouth and drank it all in one go. "He said we should sit down for a bit," she said.
So with that, she turned around and took the nearest seat.
Strength Potion
(Pyramids? Who knows... also anaemia etc.)
• 2 kilograms of dragon heart (a few grams more/less doesn’t matter)
• 1 pomegranate
• A cup of re’em blood
• One mature salamander’s blood
• 2 unicorn tail hairs
• Powdered griffin claw
• 2 snake fangs
1. Add 2 litres of water and the unicorn tail hairs one by one
2. Light a fire, highest heat. Add dragon heart.
3. Once mixture is boiled, add the pomegranate.
4. Turn the heater to medium and wait five minutes.Mix re’em and salamander blood in a bowl and stir them five times clockwise and five times counter clockwise and crush griffin claw whilst waiting.
5. Add the blood mixture slowly and THEN, the powdered griffin claw IMMEDIATELY.
Wait for ten minutes and add one snake fang
Put the fire out and add the other snake fang
Stir counter clockwise once.
Potion should thicken and turn a bright yellow colour.
Drink one cup at a time, whilst till hot - any more and it will make you dizzy.
Tastes like metal
After drinking it rest and let yourself adjust for a few minutes
Lasts 12-14 hours (jeez, really?)
Can omit the heart by adding a glass of water, counting to 18 and adding pomegranate.
Can also omit Re’em blood add another pomegranate instead, but this will reduce the effect to one tenth.
Okay... twelve to fourteen hours was a bit excessive, but there you go. Derry put out the fire, dropped in the final snake fang and stirred her potion once, anti clockwise.
...
Oh. Ew. Thick and yellow... like that gross banana flavoured throat medicine thing she’d had once. Eugh... she really didn’t want to drink it. It looked like everyone else’s, and she knew she’d brewed it right, but she didn’t want it. Eeeew.
Plus she wasn’t sure she wanted to be super strong for that long. Maybe if it’d only last for like an hour or so she’d be more excited about it but... eh. Anyway... she needed an O in this, right? Probably. So she should get this over with.
She carefully decanted a cup of potion and put it aside, then with a couple of charms, made an ice cube and dropped it into the potion. Okay... who wanted to drink this?
"Anyone want to swap potions?" Preferably someone who'd brewed theirs properly... because Derry's was done properly, and that was just a fair swap.
"ALRIGHT, TIME'S UP!" Cosgrach yelled to get all of their attention, "all the blood mixture sloooowly, and the claw AFTER the bloods immediately!"
Clear? EASY?
Time's up? Finally. It felt like forever.
This stepped seem easy enough. Candice added the blood mixture slowly liked the Professor said. After the entire blood mixture already gone, she quickly added the griffinpowder. There done.
SPOILER!!: Step 6

"Last three steps, and very easy ones," he announced again, too energetic to sit still now. He was walking among them and smiling at whoever caught his gaze (though he was careful not to pass by Kevin. He didn't want to smile at Kevin.). "Our sixth step is, waiting for ten minutes and adding one snake fang." Very, very easy, right?
Right.
He reached the back wall of the class and leaned on it. Then he waved his wand at the blackboard and it updated itself:
Ten minutes? She need to wait another ten minute? She tried to keep herself busy with cleaning all her stuffs so when she was done with the potion, she didn't need to clean things.
Candice looked at her watch and its already ten minutes. Now she can add the snake fang.
Bye. Bye, Snake Fang.
Plop!
SPOILER!!: Last one
[QUOTE=StarShine;11609442]"CLASS!" His voice was on edge, but he tried to contain his anger, "put the fire out, add the other snake fang and stir once counter clockwise. You should have been able to see all the contents inside your potion up until now, but once you carry out these two steps, it will thicken and turn bright yellow. Then we drink it." He eyed the boy to see if he was out yet. He also waved at the blackboard to add the new and last two steps.
After Candice successfully putted out the fire, she added the second snake fang into her cauldron. Then she stirred it once counter clockwise. Her potion now looked different, it turned yellow, liked the Professor said. That's a good thing, right? That's mean she did it right. Hah! Her first potion. Now she wanted to put it in a frame but the Professor said they need to drink it. Oh well. At least she got super strength after drinking it.
Huh? What? They need to drink from someone else potion? Umm..Okay. Now she need partner. "Anyone still need a partner?"

They weren't allowed to drink their own potions?! Well that was absolutely ridiculous since Theo didn't trust anyone else. Ehhh, who was here? West?? Where was he?
Before Theo could find his friend, another caught his eye and he thought she would suffice. He grabbed a cup of his potion and dashed over to Derry, automatically assuming that she would accept his offer. "Hey... I'll swap with you." Theo placed his cup on her desk and managed to peek a look at her potion.
Huh... looked drinkable. He supposed.

"Feisty and competitive huh?" Cris repeated Jasmine's words with a grin. "You're definitely my kind of woman," Cris admitted before belatedly realizing how sexist that sounded. "Wait....that came out wrong. I meant to say that I like a woman who has lots of self-confidence. It's a great attribute...and before I put my foot in my mouth, let's do this...one...two....three," and on the count of three, Cris put all his focus on the task at hand....or in this case his arm, which was really hard to do because the moment wrist locked with Jasmine, the feel of her soft skin distracted him.
However, when he realized that he was having a tough time pushing down Jasmine's hand, he shook his to refocus and funnelled all his strength and energy up to his arm. He sucked in his tummy muscles and planted his feet firmly on the ground, making every effort not to push up on his legs.
Cris grinned at Jasmine through gritted teeth. The look of immense concentration on her face showed her determination to win. Now Cris was a gentleman and he would have gladly let her win hands down...or in this case, wrists down, but after she had voiced her opinion that she didn't want a headstart, he decided to respect her wishes.
....and so he presssed on, pushing down as hard as he could. Had their arms still upright or was one of them losing ground and lowering to the table's surface?
Finishing up her potion according to the directions, Gwen was admittedly nervous about drinking someone else's potion. Not that she didn't trust everyone else, it was just, there were certain people she was sure couldn't make a potion to save their lives, and she didn't want to accidentally get poisoned.
Then Adrienne asked if Gwen wanted to trade potions with her. Adrienne was a fourth year. Her potion was probably the best offer Gwen was going to get. She glanced at her own thick yellow potion and nodded. "Yeah, okay. But if it's bad or something, I'm really sorry." It looked right, but that could just be a fluke. Just so that Adrienne understood that if something went wrong, it wasn't Gwen trying to poison her.
The second year cleaned a cup and scooped some of the steaming hot potion into it, offering it to Adrienne.
Oh, fantastic, she wasn't going to have to seek out someone else she trusted enough not to "accidentally" have put poison in their potion. "Here, take mine," Adrienne said, handing the cup she'd just filled with gross yellow liquid to Gwen. She still didn't understand how it had managed to turn yellow, since most of the ingredients had been red and whiteish, but hey, she supposed that was what magic did, right?
Taking the cup from Gwen's hand, she made a disgusted face at the whole thing, and then squeezed her eyes shut and downed it all in one go.
And yes, it was just as bad tasting as it had looked. Maybe more. However, Adrienne was distracted from that by the way she felt a sudden wave of dizziness, causing her to sit down abruptly. It passed as quickly as it had come, thankfully, and within moments she was beginning to feel stronger. She stayed sitting just in case, but it was as if her body had grown lighter. She sat up straight effortlessly, when usually it was a hassle for her to stop slouching, and a few minor aches and pains, like a stubbed pinkie toe and the bruise on her left arm, seemed to fade away into almost nothing. "This is fantastic!" Adrienne laughed.
They weren't allowed to drink their own potions?! Well that was absolutely ridiculous since Theo didn't trust anyone else. Ehhh, who was here? West?? Where was he?
Before Theo could find his friend, another caught his eye and he thought she would suffice. He grabbed a cup of his potion and dashed over to Derry, automatically assuming that she would accept his offer. "Hey... I'll swap with you." Theo placed his cup on her desk and managed to peek a look at her potion.
Huh... looked drinkable. He supposed.
Bleargh. It still looked gross. Derry'd been eyeing the goopy yellow stuff in her cup when someone was suddenly next to her. "Oh, okay... sure." She trusted Theo more than any of the new kids, that was for sure. Besides, he was headboy, y'know?
Not that that meant his potions would be any better, but given the choice between a seventh year and a first year, between a friend and a stranger, who would you trust? That's right. Theo Kinsley. King of the school or whatever. "Alright, deal." she said, handing the cup over to him.
When the ten minutes of waiting aka torture was over and he had added the snake fang, the second year Gryffindor put out the fire under the cauldron with a wave of his wand and immediately after he added the second fang. What now? He listened to the Professor, making sure not to look at him. If the man was going to play the ignore game then he could play as well. He scourgified the stirrer and made one counter-clockwise turn before cleaning it again and placing it down on his working space.
After he had turned the liquid it suddenly thickened and turned an ugly yellowish color. Kevin made a disgusting face and looked around. Were they really going to drink this? ewww. He still wanted to have super strenght though so he began to search for someone who didn't have a partner yet. But first he poured the potion in the cup. Okay, partner.... ugh he hated working with people. "PARTNER? ANYONE?" Anyone?
Lucy grabbed her wand and she put out the fire under her cauldron..Then she dropped the second fang! With the stirrer clean she stirred it once counter clockwise. Her potion turned yellow!"It's a good job"..Lucy said to herself..
She turned to the boy next her and she said:" If you want to test my potion..I think it should work because I have followed all the steps"..

... "On three, yeah?" Cause... ew.
Good.
Theo was glad that Derry seemed to trust him. It was a surprise actually, since he was pretty lame at anything magic-like and he wasn't quiet about that either. Potions was a bit more his forte than wandwork, though. "Okay, on three." Theo CRINGED and took a closer look at Derry's potion. It looked disgusting, but he picked it up anyway. "Three... two... one...." AND GULP...
......

Theo was glad that Derry seemed to trust him. It was a surprise actually, since he was pretty lame at anything magic-like and he wasn't quiet about that either. Potions was a bit more his forte than wandwork, though. "Okay, on three." Theo CRINGED and took a closer look at Derry's potion. It looked disgusting, but he picked it up anyway. "Three... two... one...." AND GULP...
......
BLEUGH.
Gross but he downed alllllllll of it then slammed his cup onto the desk like a champion.
Ugghhhhhh not looking forward to this. Ew. No. Look at it. ... UUUGH.
Oh he was counting down... okay...
Aaaaaaaand DRINK. Derry gulped it as quickly as possible and put down the cup next to Theo's. ....... EW. "Tasted like metal." she said, nose wrinkled. That was how it was supposed to taste though, so it was kind of a compliment to his brewing skills, yeah? "Sit down..." she said, gesturing to the seat on the bench next to her. He told them to sit down before trying anything, right..?
...........
Oh... something was happening. Derry looked down at her hands, and flexed her fingers. Huh... this felt... different. "You think it's kicked in yet?" She wanted to get this over with. ... Soon, please.

Nope. He wasn't doing it.
But after how Culloden had yelled at Kyroh, he wasn't eager to challenge his directions. Dima instead glanced at Lex again. They would be partners, right? He hoped she wasn't exceptionally good at potions or anything, because then his lack of exemplary strength would DEFINITELY be noticed.
... but he wasn't gonna drink that. Nuh-uh. Sorry, professor man.
Could they make potions with flowers next time?
....And Dima was looking at her....
She still wasn't all that sure about it but...she'd been sitting next to him...watching him sorta and he hadn't done anything wrong...yeah? Otherwise the Professor would have called him out on it already. In theory, she was safe from accidental poisoning but Merlin it was hard putting your faith in a kid who'd never brewed a thing before in his life.
Okay, had to get this over with. Lex scourgify-ed the cup she'd had the blood in earlier then scooped some of Dima's potion in it. Reaching for his cup, she scourgify-ed that one too and placed some of hers then slid it across to him.
"There you go." Trying to seem unaffected here but she wasn't sold on this idea, not one bit. Lex rather liked living. It was a lovely experience. The Prefect took a deep breath then drank Dima's mixture in as little gulps as she could manage. "Might want to get on with it before the Professor notices." And a face was made. This thing was awful.

Metal? That meant he had done it right, wooh! "Yours does, too." And it was disgusting so he wasn't too appreciative about it. Oh yeah, sitting down. Theo took a seat next to Derry and let the potion do its thang. He felt pretty rejuvenated, pretty awesome, pretty powerful. Which resulted in a BIG grin because physical strength was something particularly important to him. "I think so! I'mma stand up." He stated, but then hesitated...
Okay, getting up for real now.
Theo stood tall and felt awesome. "It definitely worked. We should have a go on that bell dinger-thing!!" Theo pointed in the direction of the muggle toy. To be honest, he knew he'd be able to ding the bell without this potion. It was a shame that it was enchanted, too, because Theo kinda wanted to break it. Before dashing off, he waited to see if his potion had done the trick for Derry, and whilst he waited he checked out his muscles. Flexed them and stuff.
Aaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeah.

Trying to push that hand over Bay started to work up a sweat. Thats when he looked up "mate.. are you even trying?" shocked… he was just plainly shocked…
Zander was barely even putting any effort into the game and he was still winning. Oops. His potion must've not been too powerful. Sorry, Bay! The poor older Gryffindor looked like he was really struggling. And with a THUD! Zander pushed Bay's hand to the desk. "Uh.... Woah." This was so strange. "Now what do we do?" He looked around the classroom to see how far everyone else seemed to be with the activity. Most of all, he was trying to avoid talking about the game he just won. He could tell that his potion must not have been as powerful as Bay's was.

"Wait....that came out wrong. I meant to say that I like a woman who has lots of self-confidence. It's a great attribute...and before I put my foot in my mouth, let's do this...one...two....three," and on the count of three, Cris put all his focus on the task at hand....or in this case his arm, which was really hard to do because the moment wrist locked with Jasmine, the feel of her soft skin distracted him.
However, when he realized that he was having a tough time pushing down Jasmine's hand, he shook his to refocus and funnelled all his strength and energy up to his arm. He sucked in his tummy muscles and planted his feet firmly on the ground, making every effort not to push up on his legs.
Cris grinned at Jasmine through gritted teeth. The look of immense concentration on her face showed her determination to win. Now Cris was a gentleman and he would have gladly let her win hands down...or in this case, wrists down, but after she had voiced her opinion that she didn't want a headstart, he decided to respect her wishes.
....and so he presssed on, pushing down as hard as he could. Had their arms still upright or was one of them losing ground and lowering to the table's surface?
Jasmine was giving this battle everything she had and she was able to hold things steady for a while. Then she felt their arms dip slightly in her direction. It was becoming harder and harder to maintain the status quo. She had gone from an offensive position to a defensive one in a matter of seconds. Well, she refused to quit and if she was going down, Cris would have to work for his victory.
Digging down deep, Jasmine continued to push as hard as she could. She was giving it her all, but she could feel herself steadily losing ground. She was able to prolong the inevitable just a little bit longer, but her arm dropped further and further until it finally touched the table. Looking up at Cris, Jasmine jokingly said, "Best two out of three?"

Oh, fantastic, she wasn't going to have to seek out someone else she trusted enough not to "accidentally" have put poison in their potion. "Here, take mine," Adrienne said, handing the cup she'd just filled with gross yellow liquid to Gwen. She still didn't understand how it had managed to turn yellow, since most of the ingredients had been red and whiteish, but hey, she supposed that was what magic did, right?
Taking the cup from Gwen's hand, she made a disgusted face at the whole thing, and then squeezed her eyes shut and downed it all in one go.
And yes, it was just as bad tasting as it had looked. Maybe more. However, Adrienne was distracted from that by the way she felt a sudden wave of dizziness, causing her to sit down abruptly. It passed as quickly as it had come, thankfully, and within moments she was beginning to feel stronger. She stayed sitting just in case, but it was as if her body had grown lighter. She sat up straight effortlessly, when usually it was a hassle for her to stop slouching, and a few minor aches and pains, like a stubbed pinkie toe and the bruise on her left arm, seemed to fade away into almost nothing. "This is fantastic!" Adrienne laughed.
Gwen took the cup Adrienne offered her, but watched the older girl drink the potion first. Gwen wanted to know what to expect. From the looks of it, it tasted terrible. She screwed up her courage and tipped the potion back like taking a shot.
Ugh, it was gross. Gwen made a face. "That was gross," she shuddered. That was okay to say, right? Even though Adrienne had made it? It wasn't as if she was deliberately trying to make it taste good.
Just as it was supposed to, the potion coursed through the second year, increasing all of her muscle strength and making her feel a little invincible. Okay, now for wrist wrestling. Was that the same as arm wrestling? Gwen couldn't imagine how somebody would wrestle with just their wrist, so she sat down across from Adrienne and dropped her elbow to the table.
Her blue eyes looked mischievous. She was sure she was going to win with all of this extra strength. Gwen took a breath and reminded herself that Adrienne also had taken a strength potion. "Want to wrist wrestle?" she asked, offering her hand to the older girl. Adrienne would correct her if it was supposed to be different from arm-wrestling.

What? No queue to be his partner? Lame.
But someone WAS saying that they'll partner up with him. Someone, who, as he turned his head to look at, didn't seem to be that far away from his age. Good. The enthusiasm, though? Jeez, he knew he was important but was that necessary? And how was it that he always attracted the enthusiastic bunch? The ones that didn't need to take an Elixir to Induce Euphoria or a Babbling Beverage to show just how happy and bubbly they were. Jeez, they were tiring.
Reminding himself that the girl was willingly going to try his, a stranger's, potion, the boy decided to smile at her. "Thanks for partnering up with me! The potion's bright yellow so you have nothing to worry about," he said, holding out the cup towards her and giving her a small wink. What? It was true. Look at how well he had made the potion.
And he wasn't going to try hers until he was certain that it was brewed perfectly. Pity he hadn't been paying attention to her during the class. "The name's Grayson, by the way." And she was going to be the Bubbly Redhead unless she said what her name was.

Looking up at Cris, Jasmine jokingly said, "Best two out of three?"
Cris was surprised how hard it was to not have his arm slammed back onto the table's top. Not only was Jasmine feisty, she was also amazingly strong, which made him wonder whether it was because she was just that and not as a result of the potion she had drunk. As it was he was resisting the urge to massage his slightly sore arm.
He did however stand up, shaking his arm to restore the circulation into it before sitting down. "Not bad, Jasmine. I have to admit you put up a great challenge. Alright. Dos Mas. Best two out of three," he nodded in agreement and raised his arm to lock with hers.
As he leaned forward to brace his arm, Cris realized that his face was merely inches from her face. Gazing up into her eyes, he found himself lost in the liquid pools of hazel eyes. He was so enchanted that by the time he realized the bout had started, she had his arm almost touching the surface!!
Realizing his mistake, he began pushing back. Would it be enough to push her arm back to the other side? He wasn't going to give up without a fight.

Awww, this boy seemed really friendly. It made Lux smile even more than she had already been before. "Awesome, mine is yellow too... So you don't need to worry about that either." He was going to try hers too, right? He wouldn't be scared to? Honestly it wouldn't have offended her if he refused, since when giving someone else a potion you just made for the first time, there was the potential for it to be poison.
As she took his cup from him, she offered hers out. Maybe they could trade and both drink up at the same time unless he wanted her to go first. "Nice to meet you, Grayson. I'm Lux." And maybe they could become good friends, because friends were awesome.
Wait a second...
"Grayson? Are you the guy my boyfriend played pranks on?" That had been so funny.

Noting the older boy had pulled out a chair for her, the small brunette nodded and sat down beside him. "That was different." And they just had to wait now, right? Until they felt...powerful? Or refreshed or SOMETHING. Tick tock, potion. We don't have ALL day.
After what seemed like FOREVER but was probably only 5 minutes, Maddie sat up straighter. She felt GOOD. Good enough to win an arm wrestling match against THIS guy, that was for sure. And so she turned her body towards him and propped her little arm on the table. "Alright, let's do this." GRIN GRIN GRIN! Did she mention she was feeling GOOD. Powerful good. She was SO going to WIN!
Dec nodded, grimacing at the horrid taste still lingering in his mouth. He reached back for an ice cube to put in his potion and then faced back to the girl.
Silence...
Should they talk a bit while waiting to not make it so awkward? "So, are you a first ye-arghh!" He pressed his lips closed. Nope, nope. No talking. Not while the image of what they just mixed is still in his head. Small talk some other time. Yep. He closed his eyes and tried to relax himself.
His eyes flew open at the sound of the sassy sweetheart..umm...taunting?...him. The seventeen year-old stared at the little girl challenging him, a smug smile forming on his lips. He could feel it now. This POWER flowing through him! But how much power WAS in him? Declan glanced at her little arm and reached over with one hand, plucking her up a few feet. He flashed a grin, flexing his other arm. "Probably could do this anyways, but with two arms, usually." He didn't feel like he lift a car though...this was good enough!
The boy set her down again and placed his arm on the table, giving her a competitive stare, "Let's do this."
