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.
Activity
Wrist-wrestling with a friend or getting two chances at High Striker. You should post twice until Friday 19.00 GMT/14.00 EST. Please see the OOC note of my post that explains the activity.
He put his hand up. "Why can't we drink our own, professor? I'd much rather do that given I trust how I brewed it and someone else might've done something wrong and turned it into poison."
It was a good point, right? Meanwhile though, he did take a cup out and then add ice to conserve the remainder.

She nodded at the professor, grinning at him. He would back her up, right? "He can vouch for me. I definitely know what I'm doing." Didn't matter that she was just a third year. Potions was easily her best class, and the smug sort of expression she gave West when she lifted her cup toward him accentuated that point, encouraging him.
C'mon, West. Dare ya.
Cosgrach turned his brown eyes at him and listened to what he said. His eyes turned to Sophie then, and he grinned at her. He was glad she was there, not because he was afraid of West, but because how she amused him by being all proud about this 'mentor/protege' thing. If only...
"For school bonding, Mr. Odessa!" he exclaimed dramatically, "for building trust bridges among each other. And Sophie's right: If I had to name a person whose potion you can completely trust, I'd name her. She really is great. But of course, I can't force you. If you want to sit out, be my guest." Although he was being dramatic, he also meant what he was saying: he thought that this Slytherin suspicion, while proving vital at most cases, was also a man's worst enemy.
C'mon, West. Don't sulk, even if you're granted the permission to do so.

But - what about loving each other? What about showing the professor he could love him, and Cosgrach's not having any prejudice? What about trusting the PROFESSOR?
Cosgrach dramatically sighed and looked HURT, because he took that as Kyroh didn't trust his potion skills. He was hurt, and he didn't try to deny it, but he also didn't say anything about it.
"I mean, you don't have to," he said in this hurt voice, "no, you don't." That man could act. Or live the emotions extremely. Or both. "And this won't affect our relationship. I mean, what can I do if you admit you're a sissy, right?"
Right. And he even could have got a chance to arm wrestle with the PROFESSOR.
"Just know that you're missing your chance to boast like, 'Hey, I beat Professor COSGRACH!' Because I'd have played with you. But now..."
After a dramatic sigh, he turned away.
OOC: Those that will do the High striker don't need a partner. I'm sorry that part wasn't clear enough. And while you can RP both the arm-wrestling and High Striker, you will only get credit from one of them (the one of your choice).
I'm also sorry if you needed the professor but I've missed you. I'll be around for a few hours, so I can get back to you if you poke me. :3

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."
What was he DOING? Maddie's brown eyes widened as she was lifted up a bit and she resisted the urge to swat at him in case HER super strength knocked him through a WALL or something. Instead she very patiently waited to be put down and tried not to look too shocked about that he'd done. "S'cool. Bet I could lift YOU too." But she wasn't gonna try just yet cause, y'know, they had stuff to do. YEAH.
Maddie settled into her seat and smiled a little, bringing her hand to his and adjusting her grasp slightly before nodding her head. She felt good about this stance. She had her body close to the table, her arm close to her body, and she felt READY TO WIN!
"Ready, set, GO!" And just like that, the first year started working on pinning down the dude's arm.
He Didnt Do Anything so Nothing shouldn't be blamed on him. nothing at all, No! Putting his fire out he sighed and added in his last snake fang before picking up his stirrer which he cleaned before and stirred the potion once in the right direction. He quickly leaned over and into his potion.. YELLOW?! YELLOW!? YELLOW!!!! SUCCESS!!! He DID IT!!! He glanced over as Beverly offered to switch potions which was a no brainer.. "yeah." he wouldn't want anyone else's really.
After adding the ice cube into her cauldron, Beverly wrinkled her nose. The smell was awful and the color didn't seem all that appetizing either. It was a good thing she wasn't squeamish like some people she knew. She could totally take this like a witch, she would.
The Slytherin scooped up some of the potion into a cup, and handed it to the Gryffindor with a small grin tugging at the corner of her lips. "Here then." She glanced around. "D'you want to arm wrestle or do that muggle thing." Personally, she wanted to try that muggle machine despite her bias thoughts. It looked pretty cool. Then again, arm wrestling Jeremiah didn't seem like such a bad idea.
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!
The third year snake was looking rather non-plussed when another of his year approached.
Then he realized it was Kevin Hirase.
Yes. Yes. Come to me, my jungle friend!
That was almost a mistake. Almost. Paying for something before getting yours. If this was Hirase's modus operandi, Cutty could see where the boy's trouble could've sprung from. Impulsive nature. Cutty was on a potion for that this year which was brought on by the potioning of hapless but gifted Astronomy genius, Airey Flamsteed...also, shaving his own mother's puffskein down. But, at least he was not so impulsive and prone to bad decision that Cutty had hear any serious bangs coming from the boy's cauldron that would've caused him to flat out refuse in the elitist manner prone to his house.
Cutty took Kevin's cup with his right hand and pushed the cup of his own potion toward the Gryffindor boy. Bottoms up!

"Cheers,'' the Puffer said, raising the cup. He drank deeply and immediately gagged. Ugh! That metal taste! It was super horrible. With a look of disgust on his face, Adi slowly consumed the remainder of the potion. "All done, AJ. Your turn.'' And with that, he plopped down on the seat of AJ's workstation. He'd stand when he felt fresh, as the Professor said.
She hoped that she had brewed hers right as well. "I'm pretty confident." It was her very first potion ever so she may have messed something up, but the process was pretty easy all things considered. "Haha... you're good. Can you same the same thing for me?" Did she have to worry about being poisoned?
AJ watched as he drank her cup without any problems. "Look at you all alive and stuff." AJ still had a clean poisoning people slate, woot! "Bottoms up." She took Adi's cup and drained it in practically one gulp. "UGH! That was gross!" And yet so cool all at the same time. "When's the stuff supposed to kick in anyways?" She was ready for an arm wrestling match!

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.
"You're pretty confident in my potion making abilities," Caleb noted with a grin as he took her cup and gulped it down. Yeah, now they had to sit, just like she said. He plopped down next to her and waited...when were they supposed to start? He had missed the bit when he said how long it would take to kick in. Maybe he'd FEEL it...
"So, feel like you're ready to go?" he asked with a smile. He didn't feel very different - he felt sort of the same. Maybe Sophie's potion wasn't working...he DID feel like he was wide awake though. That was good right?

Lucy looked around and she saw that no partner was free to do arm wrestling .. so she noticed that the room had been arranged with some tools to measure the power of the arm and she walked to the high striker .. She remembered that her dad when she was a child won for her a soft pink bear .. So she tried the first shot .. Really she was never good in power sports .. the first attempt was not bad but she said to herself: "you can do better, try again!"

Sophie moved her tongue around in her mouth as she let the taste of the potion set in. "Tastes like...metal," she observed. She was started to feel more and more refreshed, so when Caleb asked if she was ready to go, she stood up with a firm and confident nod. "Ready to win, little brother," she said.
She turned her seat toward him and placed her right arm, elbow down, on the table. She nodded for him to follow along. "Just waiting on you," she added. It was only then that she started to think that Caleb REALLY might be able to beat her. She guessed it all depended on the potion, though. After all, Professor Culloden could lift a CAR after taking a dose of his potion!

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.
Her potion was yellow too? Good. He wasn't going to take her word for it until he looked at the potion and tried it out for himself but he could pretend to do so. Uh huh. "Looks like you're not a bad potions brewer. Good to know." He gave her a single nod.
When she handed him the cup, Grayson gladly took it and peered into the contents. Yellow. Brilliant! "Good to meet you, Lux," Short, that name was. Short and easy to remember. "How about we take the potions on a count of three and maybe we can try the High Striker or a spot of arm wrestling." He looked over at her and smirked. Either way, he was going to win. It was a matter of ego and reputation. And if she won at arm-wrestling, it was obviously down to the fact that his potion was brewed oh-so-well.
................ No. No no NO.
He stared incredulously at the girl, maybe even squinting his eyes a little in the process. "You're dating Prankster?!" Wait, the boy had a name. A proper name. "I mean, you're dating BAY?!" Man, this was a small world. And now the boy seemed like some sort of hot shot because HE had managed to prank Grayson. MAN.

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.
The arm wrestling contest had been very taxing for Jasmine, even with her super strength. Of course she would never admit it, but it had taken quite a bit out of her. She was only joking about a rematch, but since Cris had taken her seriously, she felt compelled to comply.
Jasmine assumed the battle position and when Cris positioned himself, somehow their faces managed to be verrrry close. He was so close that it nearly took Jasmine's breath away. She was frozen for a moment, staring at his face and unable to tear her eyes away. Jasmine recovered first, remembering that they were in classroom full of people and were supposed to be arm wrestling. "Let's start on three", she said a wee bit shakily. "One, two, three" Apparantly Cris was not ready because Jasmine was able to move his arm back with relative ease. She was aware of the moment that he engaged because their arms started to move toward the vertical position. Jasmine tried to hide a smile because clearly it was unfair for her to start when Cris was........distracted. Nevertheless, she continued to push back with whatever strength she had left in her.

Did they HAVE to drink it?
"Boyfriend." Hi. Hello. Her potion looked perfect? Well! Well, your face looks perfect." WINK. Oh, that was smooth. Cat grinned and offered her cup of potion to him and took his for her own. It really did not sound like something that she wanted to be drinking, but she couldn't scrape by on her last year at Hogwarts. She was just going to have to.... drink it very quickly and hope for the best and not think about the ingredients. "Cheers!" She gave the yellow potion another look before downing it as well as she could in one go.
Cat sat back in her very comfortable seat and made all the faces at Mo. "Your turn."

And Adi DID feel alive! He felt loads more energetic than he usually did! He was loving this potion! He watched AJ down his potion. "Well, I suspect it's the blood that made it get that taste.'' Bleh. Anyway...
"Here, AJ. Sit down until you feel aliiiive.'' Hehe. "You'll know when it kicks in.'' The Puffer stood next to AJ's workstation, waiting patiently until she was ready.

His face? They weren't being graded on faces today, Caterina, but the sentiment was absolutely reciprocated. Mo winked back before confidently slugging back her entire cup of potion. He had to drink it that fast because it was hot and thick and smelled like metal and made him remember the entire time that he was basically drinking raw blood.
How... unsettling, really.
Mo gagged slightly as the room spun around him, and he seated himself hard on his stool to keep from falling over. It didn't work, though, since he missed his stool and hit the floor instead. Hello, floor. Best friend ever. Don't ever ever leave, floor.

"I guess you're feeling it already?" He seemed different, and she couldn't wait to feel the same. AJ sat down as he requested in case this came on strong or something. Not very much time had passed at all before she knew what Adi was talking about. "WOW!!! I am ready!" Let's do this!

Mo.... what was he doing? Cat blinked and watched him. "Hey. Come back up here now." Okay? Also. "Are you broken?" Did super strength keep one safe from broken bones? Cat didn't think so, no. But now that she was thinking on it, she did sort of feel... different. How did the professor put it? Fresh? Hmm. Maybe that was it. Yeah. Okay.
"Mo." She wiggled her fingers at him and moved his chair out of the way (which was way easy to do with just one arm and that was coooooool!) "Want to wrestle me?" Huh? Huh? "Bet I'll win." HUH? C'MON.

"You bet I am!'' Adi said, grinning broadly. This potion was awesome! Could he use it everyday? Hehe. And soon enough, it seemed Angel was feeling it too! "Let's go then!'' Adi set his left hand out on the workstation. Angel was right handed, right? If she was, it would work perfectly because he was more dominant in his left hand.

"Ready, set, GO!" And just like that, the first year started working on pinning down the dude's arm.
LOL look at her puny hand in his! So adorable! He chuckled to himself as he too settled into a position. He'll go easy on her. Wouldn't want to break her arm or anything O_O. Now that he thought of it...this was quite dangerous. He could accidentally overpower her.
Before he could protest, the little girl was already halfway to pinning his arm. WHOA!! Dec's eyes grew wide as he added back more pressure. Did he just literally hand the girl the key to his defeat?! "NOT. TO. DAY." Merlin, this was going to be harder than he thought.

"Ready when you are, AJ. Get ready to loose!''
Man, oh man this potion was pumping through her veins and she was feeling good. "I think I could lift a car." Like the professor over there. She wondered for a moment if he was on some kind of strength potion at the time. Oh well. "You're on." Her competitive nature was coming out in full force. It was like she was playing a baseball game and the bases were loaded.
She eyed his arm propped up on the table and she placed her right arm down a little harder then she meant to. "Whoops. Gotta remember the whole strength thing." Placing her right hand in his left, she looked him dead in the eye. "PFFFT! You better be prepared for that."
"I'm ready." And she automatically started because he DID say that he would be ready when she was. This was insane. It was like normal arm wrestling only ten times better. "Is that all you got?" she said teasing him, but really he was putting up a good fight. She was going have to wrok hard if she expected to win.

"Yeah, let's wrestle. I might even pretend like I'm not letting you win," Mo took a seat opposite her and held out his hand. "I'm not trying to brag or anything, but I'm pretty strong without potion. Basically, I'm awesome." And he grinned broadly to let her know he was mostly joking. "1, 2, 3... go."

"Did you drink too much?" Cat didn't see how he could have had too much though, she'd taken out a cupful, just like she'd been told to do, but that was the only reason the professor gave for dizziness. She was just glad that he was okay now and being slightly obnoxious about his strength and still very cute with that grin. Alright. Branxton had won the cute contest this time around, but they were supposed to be STRONG right now.
She wiggled her fingers and grasped his hand. On three, Cat pushed against Mo's arm with all her might. "Don't you dare let me win." Cause she could totally beat him on her own.

When she handed him the cup, Grayson gladly took it and peered into the contents. Yellow. Brilliant! "Good to meet you, Lux," Short, that name was. Short and easy to remember. "How about we take the potions on a count of three and maybe we can try the High Striker or a spot of arm wrestling." He looked over at her and smirked. Either way, he was going to win. It was a matter of ego and reputation. And if she won at arm-wrestling, it was obviously down to the fact that his potion was brewed oh-so-well.
................ No. No no NO.
He stared incredulously at the girl, maybe even squinting his eyes a little in the process. "You're dating Prankster?!" Wait, the boy had a name. A proper name. "I mean, you're dating BAY?!" Man, this was a small world. And now the boy seemed like some sort of hot shot because HE had managed to prank Grayson. MAN.
And now he was complimenting her potion brewing skills? Why had she never talked to this sweet boy before? It never ceased to amaze her how friendly everyone was to her. "You don't seem to be bad at it either," she returned the compliment as she gazed at the potion he had brewed. Yep, it looked exactly like hers.
The idea of drinking at the count of three was a good one, so that got him a nod from her. "I want to try arm wrestling with you." Why not? It was all in good fun, and she could be rather competitive when she wanted to be. Maybe she wasn't big or muscular like a lot of the guys were, but she could still hold her own. "Yes, I am dating Bay. Isn't he funny?" Surely Grayson had a good laugh over everything since it was all done in good fun and not to be mean.
Feeling that it was time to get this over with - since surely it would taste bad with all that heart and blood in it - Lux decided to start the count now. "Okay, one... two... three." Bringing the cup to her lips, she downed the whole thing. It was TERRIBLE, and made her want to gag. "So gross." What was with that lingering after taste?

It was like she was playing a baseball game and the bases were loaded.
She eyed his arm propped up on the table and she placed her right arm down a little harder then she meant to. "Whoops. Gotta remember the whole strength thing." Placing her right hand in his left, she looked him dead in the eye. "PFFFT! You better be prepared for that."
"I'm ready." And she automatically started because he DID say that he would be ready when she was. This was insane. It was like normal arm wrestling only ten times better. "Is that all you got?" she said teasing him, but really he was putting up a good fight. She was going have to wrok hard if she expected to win.
Feeling all this strength coursing through him, Adi was sure he was going to beat AJ. He was glad to see that even she thought she was going to win. The more competitive, the better and more fun it would be.
"You okay?'' Adi asked when his friend accidentally banged her arm. She seemed so for she was already applying pressure to his hand. And he applied pressure right back, trying to push her hand down. "Nope!'' Adi grinned broadly and applied even more pressure. And he was winning! AJ's hand was slipping down towards the workstation's surface.

She turned her seat toward him and placed her right arm, elbow down, on the table. She nodded for him to follow along. "Just waiting on you," she added. It was only then that she started to think that Caleb REALLY might be able to beat her. She guessed it all depended on the potion, though. After all, Professor Culloden could lift a CAR after taking a dose of his potion!
Caleb flexed his fingers and then sat up in his seat. "Ok, I feel stronger. I think," he said with a smile. It was still hard to tell, but he WAS starting to feel like he'd just taken five espresso shots which he figured was a good thing. Pssh, Sophie was NOT gonna win. Caleb would not allow that!
He knelt forward and propped his elbow up on the table, holding his hand out and taking her hand in his. "Alright, on the count of three...one, two...THREE!" he exclaimed, and with that, he pushed on her hand with all his might.
But now who would win?

"I'm fine." It was just a little bump. As long as it didn't interfere with the match then she was good. "Whoa." escaped her lips before she could stop it. Her friend Adi here was good. He was putting up and excellent fight and before she knew it he had managed to take the lead. He was so close to pushing her arm all the way down. Nooo... she couldn't go down like this.
She summoned strength from deep within and with great difficulty she managed to get her and Adi's arm back to the position they started in. "You thought you had me didn't you?" She was sure that he thought he had it in the bag, but you couldn't underestimate AJ. Beads of sweat were starting to form on her upper lip. She was SO into this. Several minutes later she was actually pushing his arm down close to the table. Could she win? Could she beat Adi?
