Default Potions 1

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.


Class progress
Individual greetings and first step
Mo, AJ and second step
A few people and third step
People and fourth step
People and fifth step
Trent, Marisol and sixth step
The commotion, last steps and activity
West&Sophie, Kyroh and a small clarification

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.

Lucy turned at the other classmates..She began to follow step by step what were doing the older students near her..
Lucy got out her wand and said "Scorgify", moving her wand like a boy was showing beside her and she saw her cauldron cleaned.
Lucy looked at her instructions.. Her mates now were filling there cauldron with water from there wand..She copied them and said "Aguamenti" and she was excited that water was starting to fill her cauldron..
Now her cauldron was full up to two liters.
At last Lucy added the unicorn tail hair one after the other and then she waited the following instructions.

Adi watched as Angel gave the spell a go. He noted she still looked nervous. That was easily understood. It was one of her first classes after all. He didn't actually remember it but he was sure he had been nervous quite a bit in his first year too.

"Excellent, Angel!'' Adi flashed her a thumbs up. "Just remember to use the spell on all of your equipment before you use them otherwise, Professor Culloden will make you start over again.'' That could be very time consuming. "If you need help with anything else, let me know.'' Or would she rather Benny help her? Hehe.

After he copied what the board said into his notes and sat his quill down Ezra realized he'd forgotten the Unicorn hairs.

Ummm no he didn't...

He looked around sneakily and found the grouping of silvery thin hairs and slowly added them one by one before the Professor could notice he'd forgotten.

STEP ONE = FINSHED

Was she sat on her own? Yes. Did she care? No. She had a comfy seat and class things to be doing so it mattered not that she had no one to talk to or make faces at over her cauldron. And it meant she'd be able to concentrate a little more, but also think of the things she probably shouldn't have been thinking of. Like her boyfriend. Like the distance between Scotland and South Africa. On second thoughts...maybe that wasn't the best thing to be thinking of. She'd just put everything into concentrating and getting this right.

Blood, blood and more blood. Well okay. This was fine. Blood didn't make her dizzy anymore and if she was going to do what she thought she was in the future, then it was a good job.

She like pomegranates though. Waaaste of good stuff right THERE. She opened up her notebook for this class and turned to the page after the end of last school year. Goodbye sixth year. Hello seventh. Oh. That was kind of sad.

Text Cut: Notes
STRENGTH POTION
- Useful to hold cars above your head (?)
- Used to carry heavy stuff in building work
- Helpful with anaemia if you're lazy and don't want the usual potion
- Blood, blood and heart (a butchers delight?)
- Poor pomegranate

Ingredients
2 kilograms of dragon heart (a little ↑ or ↓ is ok)
1 pomegranate
A cup of re’em blood
One mature salamander’s blood
2 unicorn tail hairs
Powdered griffin claw
2 snake fangs

Instructions
: Clean. Everything.

1. Add 2 litres of water and the unicorn tail hairs one by one


It was common sense, or at least..she thought it was, to make sure you cleaned everything before starting and that was what she started with. A scourgify here, a scourgify there, a few more, maybe a little twirl or maybe not, and a tergeo to make sure it was definitely clean because she had used her cauldron for storage over the summer. That wasn't her fault. She'd ran out of boxes. All clean. BadamdUSH. She won. A rosette for the seventh year. Please hold your applause.

AND NOW FOR WATER. THE SOLE EXPLANATION FOR HER LIVING UNTIL SEVENTEEN. (Or maybe that was something to do with the fact she hadn't died yet? Nah. It was all water.)

"Aguamenti!" There it was. There it WAS. Hold your applause. Hold it. She measured out two litres of water to make sure she'd gotten it right, purely because measurements were important and she couldn't just wing it without having inner turmoil and making ugly faces. So. Yeah. With that done, Els added just a tiny tick besides the word water in her instructions and read the rest of the step.

One unicorn hair. Two unicorn hair. Added. Scoooore. NEXT STEP PLEASE.

Ignore the little celebratory dance and the ticking next to the end of her instructions. Ignore it all.

APPLAUSE.

Dragon. Heart.

Dragon heart?

Well... how had this dragon died, exactly? Cat felt that this knowledge was very necessary. If the dragon had died of natural causes, then sure, okay, but had the dragon died so students at Hogwarts could learn to lift cars over their heads?! No. Surely no. That was silly. Nodding to herself, Caterina carried on cleaning out her cauldron and filling it up with water. Two litres of water. No thinking about dead dragons.

Oh! Baby dragons though! Baby dragons were so CUUUUUTTTEEE. With their itty bitty tails. She wondered if baby dragon tails flopped around when they were happy like Sharky's tail did.

Wait. Thoughts back on track, please, Moretti. She hadn't even started with the water yet. Focusing on the task at hand and not on baby dragons (and what she would name one if she had a pet baby dragon), Cat filled the two litres of water and then added in the unicorn tail hair, watched it float a little, then the other. Then her eyes went toward the store room where the DRAGON HEART was.

Ohhhhhhhh. Strength and stuff. Marigold had had an inkling of that as what was in store for the class, but she didn't expect it to be RIGHT. But it was, so she quickly copied the ingredients and first step into her notes.

She took her cauldron and placed it in the center of her desk before rolling up the sleeves of her robes. Two liters of water. She took her wand out and muttered a quick "Aguamenti." She measured it out before pouring it into her cauldron, of course. She was a fourth year, she didn't want any explosions happening. That was reserved for the firsties. And maybe Z or Mikey or whatever his name was.

And then unicorn hairs. She took the first one and carefully added it, then the second one. She stretched her arms behind her then sat up straight, ready for the next instruction.

Right.

With that, he quickly opened the door of store room and entered to get them.
Oh. Merlin. Mo watched the list of ingredients go up on the board with an ever increasing sense of dread. A whole dragon heart? And all that blood? Was a little magical strength worth the life force of so many creatures? His face went chalky and Mo felt a clammy sweat creep down his back.

No. Branxton. Focus. He'd done a lot of thinking and reading on this over the summer, and Mo was trying not to overreact this term. He needed top NEWT scores, after all, if he wanted to get into university. He had steps prepared in case this issue came up this term. Mo's hand shot up. "Professor? Can you... are you willing to share how these ingredients were harvested? The heart and... and the blood?"

In the meantime, Mo Scourgified his cauldron and implements and filled his cauldron with a flick of his wand. "Aguamenti." Now... who needed help? Cat was ok? Yup, she was great. Mo dropped one of his unicorn hairs into the water, watched it float around, and then added the other. That was a harmless start, at least.

Default Step one: Water and Unicorn hairs

Austin listened carefully, and gulped as he heard that they were going to use a Dragon Heart. Dragons were innocent creatures, and he tried not to think of the people who would poach Dragons for their hearts. He was a little disappointed, though, because he thought there would be a lot of health potions they would learn. But it was only their first class, and he couldn't expect the professor to teach them all the health potions in their first year. But this did seem like a handy potion to keep on hand until he learned a proper health potion.

After opening his muggle notebook (he found them easier to take notes on), and copied what was on the board, Austin pulled his cauldron over. Two liters. He thought. That shouldn't be hard. He placed his wand over a measuring glass, and spoke the words 'Aguamenti'. He made sure to measure out two liters before pouring it into the cauldron. Once it was all in there, he pulled over the unicorn hairs. He carefully separated the hairs, and placed the first one in. Once it had settled into the water, he placed the second one in. Done! He thought proudly. This was a lot easier than he thought!

He closed the door once Vesper'd entered and turned to the class. He was stading at the right side of the picture not to block their sight, and grinned at them.

"Welcome to the first class of this term," he said, "I'm Cosgrach Culloden, for those who don't know me, and this is my second term teaching." So, NO 'Collarbin, Dima and Lucy, see? C-U-L-L-O-D-E-N. His eyes were on Alexa, though, and his teeth were clenched momentarily before he relaxed himself. Today was a beautiful day, and it would be even better when he and she had a chat at his office.

"Today, we'll brew a strength potion that will enable you to," he took a deep breath not to laugh, "lift a car like I'm doing in this picture. Not just for entertainment, though. It was used to carry all kinds of material in the past, beginning from ancient times, for building and stuff," yeah yeah, he didn't know why else people moved stuff and they shouldn't question that, that wasn't the point, "so we see some of those historical buildings thanks to it." He grinned proudly. They could tell it was one of his favourite potions. "It is very easy to brew, and it is good for anaemia, lack of red blood cells in the blood. It makes you dizzy and causes lack of strength, so if you don't want to bother with a proper health potion," or lack the ability to do it, "I suggest you brew this. It's also good for lack of iron, so let's start brewing!"

He didn't want to fold his amazing picture, but the kids should also learn this potion, so he tapped his wand at it and it folded itself to open the blackboard.

"As dragon heart is actually expensive, and rare," he eyed them all for it to sink, "you have to use it carefully. One heart should be enough for all the class, and uh," he glanced at his empty table, "I'll bring it and the scale while you do the first step." No one sight problems, he hoped? He didn't need to read it out himself, right?

Right.

With that, he quickly opened the door of store room and entered to get them.


OOC: The class has started, so please do not post your characters arriving late. Just act as if they have been there all along.

The class will continue about 11 hours later.


Would it be uncalled for for him to openly Flail about the room cause he was SO RIGHT!!!!!!! SUPER HUMAN STRENGTH! it was every Comic readers dream, really and he was so so so pumped for this!! Wiggling in his chair slightly he turned and grinned at Beverly, could she tell he was excited cause he was totally excited! Looking down into his cauldron he made a face before pulling his wand out and giving it a nice clean, "Scourgify" look at how shiny! His eyes twinkled down at it, he was kinda excited. glancing over at the person next to him he had to fight hard to hold a chuckle as she whispered and grinned at him, heh Hi.

Looking up at the board he jotted down the steps thus far onto his parchment before preparing his wand and casting Aguamenti over his cauldron until he had what he assumed was two liters of water into his cauldron, yes good perfect even. His next step was to add two unicorn hairs one at a time which he already along with the rest of his ingredients at his station.one... he leaned over and watched as it fell into the water, two good, yes see he was good at this! so far anyway

Default Now that we are all clean... step 1 :) Question for the professor as well.
<--- Random | Funfetti | Lima Bean | Slytherpuff | PURPLE | Hoarder of pens | ALWAYS Severus

Her cauldron was clean and now she needed water. Errr... surely there was a spell for that. She glanced in the direction of Lex and noticed that she seemed to be submersed into her own cauldron. AJ was sure about the spell because she forgot to pay attention to those around her, and well here she was about to get passed up on the first step.

Looking around her to see if anybody had any bottles of water laying around she spotted a sink. Aha! The first year was just going to use that so she could back on track. She would hunt down an older student later and ask about the water spell. AJ walked over and carefully measured the water and brought it back, and emptied it in her cauldron. Unicorn hair time. She was in shock that she was actually holding real life unicorn hair. This was so awesome. "Professor, can I get a unicorn for a pet?" Like, was that possible at all? Next to a house elf that was something else that she wanted. Carefully she added the unicorn hairs one by one so she could hold on to them longer. Done. She looked over at Angel and noticed that she was getting help from Adi and Abby seemed to be doing okay as well.

OOOOOOH HEHEHE, Cosgrach shook his head at her playfully as he laughed. It was a sign that she finally accepted him, though, and he felt accomplished.

"It's great to see you on this bright day, Sophie." Hiz gaze followed her, and HAHA, her look at the picture.

He knew he'd done the right thing to wake them up for the class.




"Morning, Mr. Branxton. It was busy and great, thank you. How was yours?"

Wasn't he going to look at the picture, though? No?

Shame.




"Miss Beverly!" Cosgrach exclaimed - another GREAT student, just a bit shy but with excellent potions understanding. It was great to see her again. His eyes followed her too, and he giggled like a small boy when her eyes were glued on the picture.

Wonder what she might do during class?




Oooooh, a new face! They were potential cauldron-exploders in Cosgrach's mind, but this one had the decency to introduce herself, so he was going to be easy on her. And anyway, he was far too excited to feel negatively, so he slightly bowed at the girl.

"Welcome, Miss Cruz," he said, "Professor Cosgrach Culloden here."

She sat at the back? Okay. He could live with that. And it would affect less people if she did explode a cauldron, so he liked this arrangement.




Caelennnn! Cosgrach grinned at the girl. She sure had some brains there. He liked that.

"It was pleasant, thank you," he said, "how was yours?"

And the way she laughed. HEHE. Cosgrach was laughing too.




"Another Strand, then?" Cosgrach smiled, and then it turned into a HUGE grin.

He was one of the best. HA! Sander KNEW how to make this man happy, and that the way to his heart was very well through compliments, and that -

He chuckled softly as his chest puffed out with PRIDE. "Please tell him my 'thanks'? You're very welcome at this class." Ehehehe, HEHE. What a GREAT way to start a class!




And another new face. "Morning, welcome," Cosgrach said, and kindly let the boy fumble with his notebook. He was in high spirits, see? He could tolerate those. And anyway, the boy looked to be a decent person, so Cosgrach liked him already.

Unless, he exploded a cauldron, of course, but no one would do that these days, would they?

"And your -" he started to say, but the boy was already walking inside, so Cosgrach let it go this time. He'd learn his name later.




"Lux, welcome!" he exclaimed and smiled at another one of his good students. "I did, yes, and yours?"

And that snort? Hehehe. Yeah, you could say he enjoyed that sort of things.




"Miss Moretti," he greeted her, "nice to see you as well." He bowed formally and watched her too. Then he tilted his head as if he was copying her movements.

Mhmm. He wondered what she would do after class too.




"Marigold, girl," he smiled at the HAPPY person, "it was fine. How about yours?" She probably didn't hear that though, because she'd started laughing, and it infected him as well. He laughed alongside and shook his head to himself.

He liked this term better already.




"Morning, son," Cosgrach greeted the boy and - teehee, he could TELL he was EXCITED. HEY! So was Cosgrach. And he was sure the potion they would brew would keep him awake.




"Morning, Dylan," Cosgrach greeted, and was surprised with himself. He remembered people's names! HEY! Could they believe that? Because he couldn't! He marvelled at his brain and forgot to watch this boy.

Well. He'd better NOT sleep or else, there would be consequences.




Was she looking for someone? Did she remember THAT BLASTED DAY as vividly as Cosgrach did? Because Cosgrach was still VERY wary of her, could she tell? He hoped she could, with the suspicious look he gave her as she peeked her head BEFORE greeting him.

"It was uneventful, thank you," he said through narrowed eyes. Had she just said 'trust'? Funny, really funny. If this was some sort of word-games, not that she looked like she was capable of those, mind you -

Well. Thankfully, before his suspicions escalated, the next student distracted him. Thankfully.




............

............................

Why was the world in slow motion? The way he followed silly boy's gaze and found Alexa, or the way he breathed with difficulty, or even the way his mind worked. All so slow. Even his anger was slow to reach his face, so when he spoke, his voice was threateningly calm.

"Welcome to Hogwarts, Dima," he addressed the little boy, "d'you mind telling Alexa to meet me at my office after class, please?"

There was going to be blood.




No greetings? Okay. Cosgrach could live with that. He shrugged to himself, was actually annoyed with this one's reaction, and turned to the next student.

This one would need to show extra effort for the Professor to like him.




"Hello, mister," he greeted him, but didn't insist, since the boy didn't want to speak. He couldn't do anything about those type, y'know? And anyway, it was sometimes better that they didn't speak.

Heh.


"And I'm Cosgrach Culloden, pleased to see you, Cinnamon," he told her and watched her to see her reaction.

...ehehehe, nice one. One of the best reactions so far: jaw dropping open. Hehehe.




Well, FINALLY.

"Finally, you've decided to show up." He tried to sound as if he was heartbroken, but HAHA who was he kidding? He enthusiastically high-fived her back and laughed. "I think you'll like it." Though, it may also not be her type of thing. Hmm. It was hard to tell. In any case, he was EXCITED and so she should be!

His eyes followed her as well, of course, and he giggled like a little boy.

"I try," he said, and nodded to himself. She sat in her usual seat. Good.




Ehehehe, he chuckled along. "It is, yeah." YEAH. He'd lifted a muggle car once, how cool was that? "Morning. It was very nice, and I hope yours was, too." Oh, he liked such cute students. And look, she was even going to wash her hands! How very... potionistic.




"Morning, Miss Wisteria." His greeting was just as cheery, though it wasn't odd for him. He liked to torture students at that early hour, and he'd certainly taken a potion to make his mind clearer whereas poor kiddos didn't.

Ha.




"Hello, Miss..." Sleepy. She was a new, SLEEPY face. Cosgrach didn't like those. His eyes were going to be on her.




"Morning, Adrienne." He smiled at her formally back. Some Ravenclaws, missing the fun in life with their high aristocracy behaviour.


...what even!?

You know what? "HELLO, Melek! It's SO good to see you!" Take that! Hmpf.

Did she know HE was the professor? Did she?

Good gracious. Students these days.




"Welcome, Benny!" Hope he didn't mind being called 'Benny'? Naaaah, even if he did, he probably was too sweet to decline a professor as cool as Cosgrach.

Hehehe.




And Cutty showed up.

And Cutty didn't greet him.

And Cosgrach couldn't even say anything about it, but just watched him pass and take a seat next to Sophie. Well, at least Sophie would be able to watch him.

Hopefully.



West Odessa. Cosgrach frowned a little, but then smiled. "Morning, Mr. Odessa."



Cosgrach smiled at the cute lil boy.

"Hello, boy," he greeted him cheerfully and was excited to see him snigger. This was going to be good.




And this girl (Berry?) greeted him too. He felt better. Much better.

"Hello, err, Miss." Whatever her name. Sorry, he couldn't remember it.




Oh, Kevi -

BAHAHAHA, Cosgrach actually LAUGHED. His forehead - WHAT was that even?

"Hello!" he greeted, and didn't even hiss, because laughing was even better than hissing.

Haha, ha! He had to congratulate whoever did that.



Was there a Ravenclaw boom this year? "Morning, Lady," he greeted her back, and eyed her being aaaaall aristocracy again.

Huh. He still couldn't understand how Sophie ended up in that house.




And another Ravenclaw. Cosgrach nodded at her, and was pleased to see she washed her hands. Good girl.




Collarbin... Collarbin... Collarbin...

Oooooh, Alexa, you are DEAD!

"Hello, hello," he greeted her through gritted teeth, and didn't watch where she sat, because thinking of how he should kill Alexa was better.




And another one passed without a greeting, but Cosgrach was used to it by now, so he shrugged to himself. He hoped they could be good students, at least.


He closed the door once Vesper'd entered and turned to the class. He was stading at the right side of the picture not to block their sight, and grinned at them.

"Welcome to the first class of this term," he said, "I'm Cosgrach Culloden, for those who don't know me, and this is my second term teaching." So, NO 'Collarbin, Dima and Lucy, see? C-U-L-L-O-D-E-N. His eyes were on Alexa, though, and his teeth were clenched momentarily before he relaxed himself. Today was a beautiful day, and it would be even better when he and she had a chat at his office.

"Today, we'll brew a strength potion that will enable you to," he took a deep breath not to laugh, "lift a car like I'm doing in this picture. Not just for entertainment, though. It was used to carry all kinds of material in the past, beginning from ancient times, for building and stuff," yeah yeah, he didn't know why else people moved stuff and they shouldn't question that, that wasn't the point, "so we see some of those historical buildings thanks to it." He grinned proudly. They could tell it was one of his favourite potions. "It is very easy to brew, and it is good for anaemia, lack of red blood cells in the blood. It makes you dizzy and causes lack of strength, so if you don't want to bother with a proper health potion," or lack the ability to do it, "I suggest you brew this. It's also good for lack of iron, so let's start brewing!"

He didn't want to fold his amazing picture, but the kids should also learn this potion, so he tapped his wand at it and it folded itself to open the blackboard.



"As dragon heart is actually expensive, and rare," he eyed them all for it to sink, "you have to use it carefully. One heart should be enough for all the class, and uh," he glanced at his empty table, "I'll bring it and the scale while you do the first step." No one sight problems, he hoped? He didn't need to read it out himself, right?

Right.


With that, he quickly opened the door of store room and entered to get them.


OOC: The class has started, so please do not post your characters arriving late. Just act as if they have been there all along.

The class will continue about 11 hours later.

Vinnie sat on her spot and listened to the professor carefully. A dragon heart? How did he get a dragonheart and all that blood? Or....maybe the brunette didnt want to know.... No she really didnt.

At least the potion seemed to help with a lot and the historical aspects were not to forget. Especially since The Slytherin was into history....a lot. So lets focus on the good aspects o the potions for history. Yes, good.

Eyeing the cauldron in front of her, Vinnie didnt really like potions but she didnt really have anything against it either. It was just there. She had no idea why she even took it for OWLs....well you didnt really get far with DADA and history only. Why did the world have to be so complicated. Sigh.

So the fifth year went to get the two liters of water for her cauldron and poured them into it. Okay what was next? She looked up to read the blackboard again.

Oh yeah unicorn tail hair. Two, one by one. The girl put one in first and then the other. Okay, first step done. What was next?

No. Branxton. Focus. He'd done a lot of thinking and reading on this over the summer, and Mo was trying not to overreact this term. He needed top NEWT scores, after all, if he wanted to get into university. He had steps prepared in case this issue came up this term. Mo's hand shot up. "Professor? Can you... are you willing to share how these ingredients were harvested? The heart and... and the blood?"

In the meantime, Mo Scourgified his cauldron and implements and filled his cauldron with a flick of his wand. "Aguamenti." Now... who needed help? Cat was ok? Yup, she was great. Mo dropped one of his unicorn hairs into the water, watched it float around, and then added the other. That was a harmless start, at least.

AJ was sure about the spell because she forgot to pay attention to those around her, and well here she was about to get passed up on the first step.

Looking around her to see if anybody had any bottles of water laying around she spotted a sink. Aha! The first year was just going to use that so she could back on track. She would hunt down an older student later and ask about the water spell. AJ walked over and carefully measured the water and brought it back, and emptied it in her cauldron. Unicorn hair time. She was in shock that she was actually holding real life unicorn hair. This was so awesome. "Professor, can I get a unicorn for a pet?" Like, was that possible at all? Next to a house elf that was something else that she wanted. Carefully she added the unicorn hairs one by one so she could hold on to them longer. Done. She looked over at Angel and noticed that she was getting help from Adi and Abby seemed to be doing okay as well.
Cosgrach was carrying a scale with one hand, and the other held his wand which made the sterile box that had the MASSIVE heart of a dragon fly in front of him. He looked funny, being so concentrated and all not to drop the box, and when he set both of them on his table, he sighed in relief.

He turned to the class to see how they were doing and two students asked him questions. Deciding to answer the little girl first, he said "You can't, they're too fast to catch and too shy to play with." So they would make a boring pet, really.

And now, Mr. Branxton's question.

"The dragon heart comes from a dragon that died in a dragon reserve. I have a friend there and he sold it to the school without adding his own profit. The salamander blood, the school probably bought from the market." He shrugged. He didn't know, those animals were one of his least favourite, so he didn't really take an interest in them.

"And re'em blood you will use today is very, very diluted." Mo was asking because they were sold at astronomical prices, right? "So they didn't really cost that much, and I didn't buy them from the black market or anything." So his professor was still perfectly legal.

Did that answer to his question?


He also saw those that were helping people, and although he didn't call out their names, he took mental note before he tapped his wand on the blackboard to show the next step.

"I hope you've all cleaned your cauldrons," he said as he EYED them, "because dragons don't like dirt." Clear? Clear.

"Alright, light a fire and turn it to high. Then, measure the dragon heart," he moved to open the box while he talked, because it was sealed with magic, "and add it."

Once the box was opened, he moved behind his desk and sat down to oversee how they measured it.

First she cleaned her cauldron just as she always did each time she brewed a potion, and then got up and washed her hands in the basin and moved back to her seat before filling her cauldron with 2 litres of water and adding the unicorn hairs one by one. Right, the boys were going to be showing off after this class she was sure with being able to see who can lift the heaviest object. She did well in potions, though she didn't much like the class. It wasn't so much about the potions, it was more the fact of having to touch things...like beetle eyes and well...dragon hearts.

Ew....speaking of touching it. She turned the heat to high under her cauldron and went to get a bit of the heart.

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.


She wouldn't write measure the heart here, cause that was written up there. But... she should do that. ...She wasn't sure how this would go, she might have to do it in a few parts. She got a large dish and cleaned it carefully before taking it to the dragon heart with her set of scales - also freshly cleaned. She'd measure it out here, yeah?

...

A kilogram at a time.

...

Okay, that was that. That was good, right? .... She took the dish of dragon heart and her scales back to her desk.

"I cleaned mine Professor Cull--" what was it? "oden!" he totally remembered. He pointed at his cauldron to show him. Right now there was just clear water with two hairs floating in it but still.

Now they needed to get the heart. HE WAS GOING TO TOUCH IT!

Maybe not touch it because he probably wasn't supposed to with his hands. Oh but first the fire. He looked all over the place for what the fire spell was. He decided that maybe his textbook would have something to say about the subject. The first year opened it to the first page and then flipped to something labeled the basics. 'Fire....fiiiiire.' Where was it?

"There it is." Incendio.

Ezra looked around the bottom of the cauldron and took a guess where to light it. He poked his wand underneath. "Incendio." Nothing. "C'monnnn. Incendiooo." Nothing again. "Indendio." He said slowly pronouncing each syllable. A flame flickered underneath and he concentrated on intensifying it since it said 'turned all the way'. He didn't notice that the bit of some random herb in his supplies had caught fire.

After peering contently at his cauldron as the water began to heat up, he finally smelled the smoke. "Uhh..." he momentarily flailed his arms as he looked to the older students nearby before taking a flip-flop and smacking the embers until they were gone.

O___o

"Sorry." he said in the direction of the Potions man. Nothing was ruined it was okay.

Yeah, it figured she'd find it easier if Lex did it for her but she'd see, in the long run, she'd have been happier cleaning her own cauldrons. Being coddled didn't seem like something First Years would like, she figured they'd be all for trying to gain some magical independence now that they could so she gave a firm nod indicating her stance. Not casting, just offering advice.

Her attention had only shifted briefly before it was brought back by the tugging at her robes. "Hey, you did! See? Nothing to it once you concentrate and have the right intent." Key things when spell casting. She would let her get back to her work though. If she needed her she'd tug again, and Lex was now keeping an eye on her anyway so all was good.

Turning to her own cauldron again, she gave a tap beneath it. "Incendio." She turned the fire as high as it would go--what? He did say 'high' then got to measuring her chunk of the dragon heart. It wasn't exactly 2 kg but it was close enough and the instructions said it didn't matter. Dare she trust Culloden with estimations? She probably shouldn't ...but it was awfully close and she didn't want to go cutting more so fine. Believing him just this once.

There. Dragon heart added.

....And Ezra was setting things on fire. Sure. Why not? Glancing at him he saw he was fine enough though, all good.

The blonde looked up at the towards the professor as he began to speak. Emmylou wasn't sure what class was going to be her favorite but she was going to try her best at keeping up with all the lessons and homework. Was this professors name Cosgrach Culloden? That was such a cool name. He had a unique name like her. Emmylou hadn't met to many people with the same name as hers so it was nice to see a professor with a super cool name! Emmylou took out a piece of paper and a pencil, she had a feeling that it would be weird for people to see her with a notebook and a pencil, it was very muggle-like but she needed to keep everything in order and this stuff was the best.

SPOILER!!: Emmylou's notes

Strength Potion
Helps with ana blood stuff, turns you into Popeye. Good for lack of iron.

• 2 kilograms of dragon heart poor dragon
• 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


Aww, it's sad that the dragon had to die because of this potion. Yay, strength potion? Emmylou didn't know if she should be happy or sad, with all the strength you could be a superhero and those things were pretty cool, yeah? The third year added two liters of water and carefully added the unicorn tail hairs one by one. She was honestly very focused on it, she didn't want to mess anything up.

Emmylou looked back up at the board again and noticed that the second step was already up. Emmy quickly wrote it down in her notebook and did exactly what it said.

SPOILER!!: More Notes


2. Turn the heat to high and add the dragon heart


Emmylou turned the heat on the high setting and carefully added the dragons heart and whispered "Sorry." to it. She felt pretty back about having to do that to the poor dragons heart. She would get over it at some point today.

The class will continue about 11 hours later.


THEY WERE GOING TO BECOME LIKE SUPERMAN!

Or...you know. Something like that.

That was all Kyroh really got from the 'super strength' introduction.

Turning to his cauldron he peered inside. Uhhhh. It had to be cleaned right? Kyroh drew his wand. He had yet to use it of course. His mum had taught him the proper way to hold it and how to flick his wrist just right for most spells but he hadn't USED it before. How was he just suppose to know? Glancing around the classroom the first year shifted uncomfortably.

Scourgify? That's what most students were- OHOH The cleaning spell? Yeah? Maybe? Pointing his wand at the cauldron, Kyroh took a deep breath. "Scoooogurgify." He whispered, slightly stumbling over the foreign word.

....Nothing. "Scourgify?" Hm. "ScoURgify?" Scratching his head he looked around once more. He could do this! He just needed to concentrate. Concentrate and go do MAGIC. "Scourgify!" He said a bit more forcefully.

Sure the cauldron looked cleaner. It was. Right? Not just his imagination. Though there was a spot of dirt still on the edge......looking around to make sure that no one was watching Kyroh reached in and flicked the dirt off. THERE! Gone!

Performing the same spell on the other potion kit stuff wasn't that bad, it took less time then the cauldron, he clearly he was getting better already!

Next step! Water!

He knew the spell for water. That one was a bit easier. "Aguamenti?" Kyroh said hesitantly, pointing his wand in the cauldron once more. Once again nothing happened. Kyroh tightened his grip on his wand. He COULD do this. He just had to keep calm not get frustrated and do MAGIC. "Aguamenti!" A stream of water began to flow from his wand and Kyroh grinned as he filled the beaker up to two litres . THERE SPELL YOU WERE NOW MASTERED!

Pouring the beaker full of water into the cauldron Kyroh grabbed the unicorn tail hairs and dropped them in. First one, then the other.

He paused as he started to write his notes.

SPOILER!!: Kyroh's notes

Potion: Strength potion.
Reason for potion: I have no clue but it makes you strong and you can lift stuff and old people in the ancient days used to use this because maybe their magic wasn't as strong or something. Also it helps you if you are anemic which means have blood problems.

Ingredients:
• 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

Steps:
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

Uh wait. Dragons heart? Add it now The boy frowned as he looked over his writing and then back at the Professor. "Sir!" Hand extending upward Kyroh shifted around so he was on his knees. LOOK at him LOOK! "Professor Cupboardbin?!" That was his name right? Something like that. He hadn't been listening again. It was HARD to pay attention knowing that everything they were doing had to do with MAGIC stuff. "That's a lot of dragons heart for all the students. How many dragons did you have to kill then?" That wasn't cool. "What if I like dragons and don't want to use their hearts?"

Killing dragons for super strength?

No he'd rather have a pet dragon.

Also, he wasn't even suppose to play with fire so lighting the cauldron? Uh. No.

Marigold was ready for fire. Nope, not nervous at all. Except at the possibility that she might catch something else on fire, like that kid somewhat behind her. She carefully and gradually turned the heat up to high. Nothing caught fire. Good. Except now she had to get dragon HEART. DRAGON heart. DRAGON HEART! She liked potions all right, but she had forgotten how GROSS some of the ingredients were.

DRAGON HEART.

She made her way to the front of the room with her scales. Wrinkling her nose and making a disgusted face, she carefully measured out the heart. She ran back to her seat and poured it in to get THAT over with.

Cris immediately sprang to attention when Professor Cullodeen gave his next set of instructions. Picking up his quill, he quickly jotted down the instructions in his journal.

Text Cut: Cris' Potions Journal

Ingredients for Strength Potion
1. 2 kilograms of dragon heart (a few grams more/less doesn’t matter)
2. 1 pomegranate
3. A cup of re’em blood
4. One mature salamander’s blood
5. 2 unicorn tail hairs
6. Powdered griffin claw
7. 2 snake fangs

Steps to make Strength Potion
1. Clean cauldron and measuring cup
2. Add 2 litres of water and the unicorn tail hairs
3. Light burner and turn heat to high
4. Measure out Dragon heart and add to cauldron.


Once he was done, he pulled out his wand and pointed it at the burner. "Incendio" Cris chanted the incantation concentrating on the intensity of the flame that was emanating from his wand. When the burner was lit, Cris ended the spell before holstering his wand. He then turned the knob on the burner and raised the heat to high.

Now for the dragon heart. Cris sighed sadly wondering whether a brave dragon had been killed in order to harvest its heart. He hoped not for he loved dragons. Holding the dragon heart in the palm of his hand, Cris placed it on the scales. It was a little over 2.5 kilograms, so Cris picked up his knife which he had magically cleaned and removed a small chunk from the heart. Carrying the remaining larger chunk over to the cauldron, he slowly and delicately lowered in to the heated water.

Dragon Heart in cauldron. Check. Cris waited for further instructions.

Wait was he smelling smoke? Cris turned to see a young boy putting out some burning embers. Thankfully he had everything under control. Cris smiled encouragingly at the boy before turning back to watch over his cauldron.

"Great," Toby smiled at the first year, glad she seemed to have everything under control. He quickly got out of her way again and returned to his own workstation upon seeing that Culloden was about to go on with the next step.

Oh. Oh no. Oh that box was HUGE. Toby grimaced slightly at the thought of a HEART being in there, and repeated his usual potions mantra of how it probably died from natural causes. And Culloden was saying something like that so... yeah. Yes. It was all fine.

"Incendio." The fire beneath Toby's cauldron was lit with ease, and he twiddled his wand to turn it up to high. That done, the fifteen year old moved swiftly to the front of class, dodging around stray stools and bags as he went.

Upon reaching the front of the classroom, Toby peered inside the box, wrinkling his nose slightly. It smelled weird, okay?

The boy reached in with one hand and grabbed a handful of the dragon's heart, and pointed his wand at it too, careful not to aim at his fingers.

"Diffindo," Toby cast, carefully severing the handful of heart away from the main... thing. He had to repeat the spell a couple of times, but soon it was completely free. The Hufflepuff dumped it on the scales and waited for them to steady to see if he had enough... but no. still about 300 grams short.

Severing off a little more of the heart was easier than the first try, and after small amounts of fine-tuning Toby finally had 2kg. After stowing his wand away he scooped up the dragons heart and returned to his workstation. Once there, he added the heart to the potion.

Declan raised another eyebrow. Oh, of course it was all due to a potion. Dec wouldn't deny the fact that he actually believed for a second the professor could naturally lift a muggle car and it intimidated him a bit, but NOT ANYMORE. Why?? Because now he knows that he can do the same and that the professor isn't so much of a macho like the picture portrays.

Used for the building of historical buildings eh? That explains a lot. Now, he'll get to laugh in the faces of his Muggle friends when they try to explain how "aliens" built the wonders of the world.

He scribbled down the content on the blackboard before getting started:

1. Add 2 litres of water and the unicorn tail hairs one by one
After using the cleaning charm on his cauldron, he did the same to his beaker before filling it with two liters of water and then tossing it into the cauldron. Add two unicorn hairs...TA-DA. Step one done.

Step two.
He lit the flame under her cauldron, setting it to maximum, and then heading over to the box holding the dragon heart.

Gross. He carefully measure one kilogram and then carefully did another kilogram. Two kilograms, right?? Check notes...YES. Add to cauldron. PLOP. Step two...check!

He turned to the class to see how they were doing and two students asked him questions. Deciding to answer the little girl first, he said "You can't, they're too fast to catch and too shy to play with." So they would make a boring pet, really.

And now, Mr. Branxton's question.

"The dragon heart comes from a dragon that died in a dragon reserve. I have a friend there and he sold it to the school without adding his own profit. The salamander blood, the school probably bought from the market." He shrugged. He didn't know, those animals were one of his least favourite, so he didn't really take an interest in them.

"And re'em blood you will use today is very, very diluted." Mo was asking because they were sold at astronomical prices, right? "So they didn't really cost that much, and I didn't buy them from the black market or anything." So his professor was still perfectly legal.

Did that answer to his question?


He also saw those that were helping people, and although he didn't call out their names, he took mental note before he tapped his wand on the blackboard to show the next step.

"I hope you've all cleaned your cauldrons," he said as he EYED them, "because dragons don't like dirt." Clear? Clear.

"Alright, light a fire and turn it to high. Then, measure the dragon heart," he moved to open the box while he talked, because it was sealed with magic, "and add it."

Once the box was opened, he moved behind his desk and sat down to oversee how they measured it.

Austin wasn't sure if he cleaned his cauldron beforehand, although he made a note in his notes to do so in the future... Just in case. After writing down the second step, he got out a dish and his scales. Using the 'Scourgify' Charm, he cleaned them both, taking extra care not to get any other form of dirt on them.

"Incendio." He said, tapping under his cauldron. He focused on the size of the flame, making sure it wasn't going to engulf the rest of the class in flames. Once this size was big enough to equal a 'high' temperature, Austin walked up to the front of the class with his scales and dish. He waited until a few others had taken their turn, and set his scales down next to the heart. It was bigger than he imagined, although he wasn't sure why he would think it was small. Dragons were generally huge in size, so it would make sense that their hearts would be big too.

Austin decided it was best to measure it out in small doses. He first measured a bit, and it equaled 1 kilogram. Taking a deep breath, he then took an equal chunk and measured the two together. It measured to be slightly over 2 kilograms, but the board did say it didn't matter if it was over or under 2, so he put the bit of heart on his dish and took both the dish and his scales back to his cauldron, and added it to the potion.

SPOILER!!: Notes


OOC: I hope adding the pictures of the notes I took were okay, if not I can take them down.

Light a fire? Grayson paused and glanced around at other people near him. Someone was bound to cast the spell anytime now, which would give him the opportunity to see whether they used the same spells here as they had back in Beauxbatons. And, more importantly, something was bound to go wrong. Fire. It just spelt trouble and Grayson liked that.

LOL had that kid set something on fire? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

The fourteen year old tried his very hardest not to snort and, instead, looked over at Prefect Lex. Incendio? Good. He knew that one. Turning his attention back to his cauldron, the boy pulled out his wand and pointed it at a spot underneath the cauldron. "Incendio!" A smirk spread across his face as the flames licked the bottom of the cauldron. And then it was turned up high.

Dragon heart was next.

Grabbing his scales, Grayson made his way towards the front of the classroom. He set them down and cleaned them using magic before starting with the all important measuring. This was happening carefully and a little slowly. The Slytherin was excited, sure, but he tried to hide it because a) the Professor was right there, b) something could go wrong and c) he had the reputation of being cool to maintain. He was cool, mkay?

Once he had measured out the right amount of dragon heart as accurately as he could, Grayson nodded at the Professor before turning around and making his way back to his cauldron. It was much harder to hide his excitement since he was HOLDING SCALES THAT HAD TWO KILOGRAMS OF DRAGON HEART ON THEM.

Some poor dragon had to die for this.

This is why we can't have good things in the world.

Whatever. He was back by his cauldron and had added the dragon heart in now.

okay, now that he had finished the next step the other one came just as fast, he had to turn on his heat and put it on high. Taking out his wand he pointed it to the bottom of his cauldron. "Incendio" he said as he saw the flame start underneath it. "Finite" he said as he turned the knob to control its temperature and set it to high.

Okay, now was the gross part. Bay hadn't really liked to have these types of things in his hands as he went up to go grab his dragon heart he needed to do this in front of the Professor, GU.U.L.P

"you can do this" nothing wrong with giving one self a little pep talk. Picking it up he placed it on the scales. it was only a little bit more than he actually needed so he picked up his clean knife that he had cleaned earlier and he just sliced a little bit off. Letting the scales adjust to the new weight he saw that it was just on spot. "awesome" he said under his breath as he went back to his desk with his dragon heart in tow.

Placing it carefully into his cauldron he looked down at his notes and checked things off.
