Professor Culloden isn't by the door this time, but is sitting on his chair, looking at the door to see who was coming. The soft, calming blue walls welcome you again, as well as the chairs with soft cushions, charmed to take the most comfortable shape and height once a student is seated. 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.
There writes a message in the Professor's own hand-writing on board:
Welcome to the term's second potions lesson. :-)
OOC: If you are going to RP your characer use the washbasin or the bin, you don't have to take Cosgrach's permission. Just assume he has granted it.
The lesson has started, so please don't post your characters arriving late. Just act as if they have been here all along.

-The colour is dark grey and it sits completely still even if you shook it.
-It depends on how strong your will is. The weaker it gets, the longer this potion will last and the more effective it will be.
-It will also reawaken suppressed guilt and especially these will eat you alive.
-Anyone can induce guilt, but the brewer is more powerful.
-If added into a drink (not potion), it will briefly smoke. Once the smoke dissipates, the taste and the colour of the drink is the same.

Text Cut: Kevin's detention after class
Cosgrach wasn't thinking straight, so he didn't even wince when he wasted a few ingredients for that stupid brat's detention. After dinner, he came directly to his beloved classroom and went about trashing it: he broke some vials and scattered the glass everywhere, MULTIPLIED the rubbish the students left behind, yanked the rubbish bin to the ground, turned those three buckets (one: half-done potion and two: purified water) upside down and spread the liquid to every single inch of the floor (the potion was sticky and ewwwww), deliberately placed some slippery and disgusting-but-cheap ingredients around the door for him to STEP ON and SLIIIIIDE, and opened a nasty-smelly vial of potion that would make any unprepared person nauseous. It didn't affect him, though, as this was his LIFE. But if that brat even THOUGHT of vomiting!
Satisfied with his work, he went and spoke to Alexa, and returned to sit on one of the desks near the door with cold-blooded calmness, waiting for his prey.

LAST STEP!
Woohoo! Sophie could feel the comfort of that common room couch already! She grinned to herself as she thought about what a productive lesson this had been. She'd brewed a potion with no mistakes, gained a free potion she didn't even have to brew, and watched a good show put on by the Gryffindors and Ravenclaws.
A productive lesson indeed.
Sophie collected the frog leg and added it in. Motivational quote or an inspirational person's name? Hmm... "Hecate Lafay," she said. Sorry, Culloden. Loyalty wins. Just not in a Hufflepuff type of way.
Her potion turned gray, and she knew she'd succeeded. She wondered if Culloden would give her a few extra points for not being the cause of the headache he surely had by now. Heh.

To be quite honest with herself, Elodie was all for this class to just end now. Her mood was in a place that she didn't want it to be, and that included wanting to tip the contents of her cauldron over certain peoples heads. But that was a waste of a solid effort on her part, and she was going to need proof that she'd done some work this class instead of just threatening to hit kids. She spent a moment pinning her hair up once more as it had started to fall out of its place in a frantic stress that she always got into in these classes, and then she added one drop of doxy venom.
One drop, and that was it. No more, no less. Just one drop.
She knew to expect smoke, but it still made her recoil in shock and pull a face, before waving her wand to get rid of it. Goodbye smoke. See ya later. Once that was done and her area was smoke free, Elodie added the frog leg and made a ribbit sound as best as she could for about thirty seconds or so. Just to pass the time, because she was fed up of being stuck in her own silence. The fact that they were supposed to whisper to their potion struck her strangely and she pulled the funniest of faces in the direction of the professor. Whisper? Really? Was that necessary? What if she couldn't think of something?
Herself.
She was inspirational.
Look at her. Here. Tall. Pretty. Prefect. Awesome. And...kind of lonely. But still. Inspirational. Left behind by two parents, treated ridiculously awfully by two siblings, and without her daily kisses from her boyfriend. Completely inspirational. But she didn't want to seem big headed or anything, and settled against picking herself for this task. Instead, she went with something she overheard her mother telling her sister over and over again. But then she decided against it. She'd just say her mothers name. She was inspirational, and Elodie missed her day in, day out. Sure, she could have gone for something her mother said, like 'love is louder than the pressure to be perfect', but nope.
She leant in closely, and whispered the name of her mother to the potion.
All three names. Jessie. And Eve. And Robertser.
And then she was done. She was done with her potion and everything was good. She felt at ease with things about her family, she felt proud of her mother, proud of herself and she was free to go. After she tidied up after herself, finished up her notes and got the hell out of there.

→ The end result should be a potion that is dark grey, and sits completely still even when being shaken.
→ If the potion is added to a drink (excluding other potions), it will smoke briefly. However, once the smoke is gone, the usual taste and colour of the drink will remain.
→ The strength of the potion coincides with the strength of the victims will. The weaker the will, the longer the potion will last and the more effective it will be.
→ The victim will enjoy (or maybe not) being eaten alive by suppressed guilt that comes back to haunt them and bite them on the behind. Teeth marks on the butt cheeks.
→ Forms of guilt can be induced by anyone, but the brewer has the most power over this. World domination, baby!
After the note taking was finished, Elodie finished gathering her things together, and headed out of the classroom. "Thanks for... everything, 'fessor. Don't let those little nitwits get at you, 'kay? See ya!"

Mo caught Maddie's eye and gave her a broad wink. Not enough to be distracting, but enough to let her know that he SAW HER LOOKING. Focus on the potion, little buddy, and they could all make faces at each other later. He pointed at her cauldron before turning back to his own.
Now then... he needed to add just one drop of the doxy venom, which Mo was certain required those thick dragonhide gloves he was happy to be wearing. He snugged them up and tucked them into the sleeves of his school robes before picking up the doxy venom.
Just... one... drop... and the potion immediately began to smoke. That was a relief, actually, since it indicated that his potion was doing exactly what it was supposed to be doing. It was sort of like popping popcorn, though, in that Mo wasn't exactly sure that the potion had stopped smoking up until the actual moment that there wasn't smoke anymore.
He waved his hand once through the dissipating smoke and then returned again to the instructions on the board. One last ingredient, and Mo gingerly scooped said ingredient up with his gloved hand and deposited it into the cauldron. Lots of creature parts in this one, which made his stomach curdle a bit at the thought. That last potion had been so brutally bad.
Leaning over the potion, Mo took the scent of it full in the face as he wracked his brain for an inspirational quote. Or person. Honestly, Mo knew loads of quotes, and there several people he really admired. His parents, his siblings, some Quidditch players, some of his best friends... but motivating?
He thought of a very brave, sweet, and kind girl that he knew, and Mo whispered, with complete embarrassment, "Caterina Moretti." Awful, probably, but he admired her so much.
Beverly was glad to hear this was the last step. Thank you, Merlin! It wasn't that she didn't want to brew. No. Brewing was like air back home, but she NEEDED food. She'd collapse if she didn't get some. Jotting down the next step quickly, but precise, she daintily picked up the frog leg. She paused.
Inspirational person's name?
Without even so much thinking about it, the name was at the tip of her tongue. Of course it'd be that one. He's overcome so much adversary and was just wonderful all around. With a smirk on her lips, Beverly dipped the frog leg into the potion without splatters, and whispered, "Phabian Wayne."
There. This potion was going to be a good one, she just KNEW it.
Looking over her notes, Beverly underlined some of the points professor Culloden was stressing and added some more. Finishing that up, rolling up the parchment and stuffing it into her bag, she scooped up some potion into phials, then tucked those in carefully into pockets inside her bag.
After cleaning up her station - 'cause every potions' mistress had to be neat - she waved at the professor. "Have a nice day, Professor Culloden." He got a smile. Yes.

Well if Toby said that Sophie knew what she was talking about and Kyroh knew that Toby knew what he was talking about, THAT could only mean that Sophie knew loads. And she thought he was cool. "She must be really cool too if she's your best friend." Kyroh said quietly.
So Sophie AND Toby thought he was cool. Which meant they liked him right? So Zahra was WRONG. Some people liked him! And Dima liked him and Maddie right? Though Candice could have been mad at him...but she still liked him right?
....Thinking about all of the people who probably liked him which made Zahra a MEAN LIAR, didn't make him feel that much better though. He wished it did. But it didn't. He kind of didn't want to be in the classroom anymore. He kind of didn't want to be at Hogwarts anymore either. Kyroh kind of just wanted to go home.
Turning back to his potion Kyroh lifted the bottle of doxy venom and carefully took his dropper and filled it up. Moving as slow as humanly possible really, he let a drop fall into his potion before carefully placing the dropper back in the bottle. The whole thing began to smoke and Kyroh was starting to wonder if he had added too much but soon it stopped and he waved his wand over the cauldron again.
The GOOD thing now was that they were on the last step. Kyroh took a second before dropping his doxy legs in though. He had to think. A motivational quote? He could think of a few but a name would be better. It was just HARD. Peter Parker or Miles Morales? He could NOT JUST SAY SPIDERMAN IT JUST DIDN'T WORK LIKE THAT! He liked Miles better of course but Peter had been Spiderman so much longer. Waving the Doxy leg over the potion Kyroh thought about the person he MOST wanted to talk to right now. Because...they would be inspirational......and give him hugs.
Dropping the leg in Kyroh leaned over and did not hesitate at all. "Althea." The first year mumbled quietly. Kyroh sat still and watched as the potion turned dark grey, before scooping the majority of it into a vial that he had cleaned earlier.
Turning to his notebook he began to scribble the rest of information about the potion down.
SPOILER!!: Kyroh's Notes

Once he was done Kyroh quickly started cleaning everything he hadn't before. It would have been easier if he had done it while waiting but the thought never even occurred to him. After he was finished cleaning the last bowl and packing it away Kyroh glanced over at Toby only to find the boy staring back at him. "Hi. Class is done you know." Did he know? Because Kyroh was happy about that. He wanted to leave now.

Last step, and then they were done? Cool. As much as AJ liked Potions, she was ready for this lesson to be over. She eyed the other students to see if there would be any more drama, and besides a few mumbles all seemed to be well.
For the last time in this lesson she focused her attention once more on her potion. Adding the frog leg she stared at it to make sure that it looked like it should. It seemed okay to her and now she had to think of a motivation line or person. Hmmm... a person didn't come to mind. Instead she decided to go with a quote. What difference would it make really? "What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger." Was that motivational enough?
The first year made sure to get an extra vial for homework, and cleaned her station. "Bye professor. Thanks for the interesting lesson." It's been real. Just like that, she walked out of class.
He smiled at the class - they were probably confused about this sudden change, but it was perfectly in order! He'd taught that Kevin well. So clapped his hands once and said "Last step: Add the frog leg and whisper a motivational quote or an inspirational person's name. The potion will turn dark grey and it should sit completely still even if you shook it. That's it." Class ended!? Yesssss.
"Final notes on how it works: Like I've already said, it completely depends on how strong your will is, just like the Imperius Curse. The weaker your will, the longer this will last and the more effective it will be. It'll also reawaken suppressed guilt, wake up that conscience and eat you alive. So I wasn't joking when I told you to come with a clean conscience. You may do some rash stuff - whether it will be apologising from your ex, I don't know." He smirked. These teenagers were prone to do that, weren't they?
Oh, the fun.
"It will smoke briefly when added into a drink - any drink, unless it's another potion - but once the smoke dissipates, the drink will just and taste just the same.
"So how it works is as follows: I brewed the potion, and gave it to, say, Donald. Donald is a weak willed person, but he's also a good fella, so he helps his friend at class. But I'm mean so I go tell him: 'What did you help him for, Donald?' Donald starts to worry what he did was wrong, and he feels guilty. Yes, a weak willed person can and probably will feel guilty even if they did the best thing on Earth. So, anyone can make Donald feel guilty, but my words will be more effective on him, because I brewed the potion."
He looked at them all (except Kevin and Zahra). His previous happiness was almost restored.
"There isn't any class activity for today, so you are dismissed if you are done with brewing. Those that have a question may ask me now, I'll be here for a while. Homework will be announced soon - save a vial for it. Thank you for your contribution."
OOC: I will leave the thread open for another 24 hours for you to catch up/finish brewing etc. You may RP your characters out if you are done. Thanks for participating!
...Professor say what?
Sophie, despite her mission to restore a sense of balance between the Ravenclaws and the house of Jeremy Gryffindor, raised a curious hand in the midst of her efforts as Culloden went onto explain things. "Sir? What's the significance of... whispering something to it? And... are we allowed to say more than one name? Does that change anything?" Because she knew who she wanted to say, but after that first name came to mind, she thought of plenty more inspirational people. Did she have to pick just one?
The first year cleaned up her dropper with the Scouring Charm. She collected one drop of the doxy venom and added to her cauldron. It started smoking. WOAH! After it stopped smoking, Candice waved her wand again.
Then she heard the Professor explained to them the last step. Finally. Too much drama for today lesson and she just couldn't take anymore drama. Nope, she just gonna go to her dorm after this and sleep. But first she needed to finish her potion.
Whisper a motivational quote or an inspirational person's name? One person? Hmm..
The first year added the frog leg into her cauldron. "Edvard William Messer Junior" There done. And she saw her potion turned into dark grey. COOL! Candice made sure to save a vial for homework like Professor Culloden said. Once she was sure that her work station was cleaned, the first year was ready to leave the classroom but then she remembered that she had a question for the Professor. Hand up. "Professor, you said earlier that the substitute potion is a bit less effective. How less effective is my potion now?" She knew that she should have asked that question earlier but she forgot thanks to all the dramas.

It was time for them to complete the potion, and that started to make Lux feel sad because this was her second favourite class. There had to be more lessons this term, it wasn't even half over. But maybe she could spend some time in the lab and do some potions brewing by herself. That was it would ALMOST be the same. Almost.
Pouting, she wrote down the last step:

11. Add the frog leg and whisper a motivational quote or an inspirational person’s name.
An inspirational quote or inspirational person? That made no sense to her when the potion was of a cruel nature in her mind. About to ask the Professor about it, Cris beat her to the punch so she kept her hand down and waited for an explanation. In the meantime she needed to think of what she wanted to say. A nice quote would work, because if she did the name thing she would end up using more than one.
Plopping the frog leg into her potion, she whispered, "Every moment is a fresh beginning." Finished, she crossed the last part off from her notes as she listened to Professor Culloden speak.

Now it was clean up time, and Lux made sure that she did an amazing job tidying everything up since she didn't want to annoy the Professor and come across as if she didn't respect him and his classroom. Grabbing her bag, she made her way to the doorway, stopping when she reached Professor Culloden. "Thank you for the lesson, Professor. Have a good day." And with a wave, she was gone.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

So he shrugged to himself casually and turned away. On the inside, though, he was SMUG and ARROGANT and COCKY - exactly triple the amount he normally was.

Holding up his very important sign, the Gryffindor continued to wave it around and then the Professor looked at it he even pointed his finger at the writing. Seeeee! He needed some venom now go fetch it for him! The surprisingly calm nod made him a bit nervous though. Where was the threatening with detention for being rude? But the boy shrugged that off a second later and stood up to walk towards the storeroom when...

"Here, y'can use a drop of mine, if y'want," she offered lazily. Sure, the kid was a disrespectful little brat, but clearly he'd learned his lesson, yeah? It was a peace offering of sorts and a gesture to demonstrate to everyone that Gryffindors and Ravenclaws could totally get along. But... why wasn't he talking?[/color]
The Gryffindor blinked as a Ravenclaw student had walked over to his station and offered her doxy venom to him. What...was going on?! First the Professor was calm with his super creepy mood change and now someone was HELPING HIM?! He did not take the dropper from her just yet but simple blinked at her like she was the first person he had seen in a long time.
First Zahra and now Sophie....hehehe he was quite the ladies man wasn't he?
With a grin, Kevin took the dropper and added it to the cauldron. "Banks" he whispered which was supposed to be a thanks but because of his lang-lock jinxed mouth he couldn't really say that.
The next step was a bit pointless for the Gryffindor since he had to say a motivational word but he COULDN'T SPEAK correctly. So he simply dumped the frog leg in the potion and sat back down in his seat and snapped his head to the direction of his Prefect who he just KNEW she was talking about him.

She was leaving him like this?! Nuuuuuh! Kevin LOVED his voice, he needed it! He stood up from his working space and while the others were leaving the class and some asking extra questions , the second year had put his back to his cauldron and FLAILED his arms up and down. "UNHJINGS E!" Which had meant, 'unjinx me"
Angel beamed as she realised that this was the end of the lesson, she wanted out of here before she did something to Kevin for losing all the house points, she still owed him one for the bugs in her hair incident.
Angel listened to the Professor, was he nuts she didn't know many motivational quotes and she couldn't think of a person, she was about to tell the Professor she couldn't do it when a quote came to her.
She quickly added the frog leg and looked at her potion to make sure it was right, when she was sure it was she decided to whisper the quote. "You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else." Angel hoped that she had done everything right.
She grabbed her things and looked at the Professor. "Thanks for a lovely lesson Professor." Angel beamed and then with a quick wave she left.
With his nine and a halfer still nearby, Cutty fished out a pair of tweezers, cleansed them with a bubbly scouring charm and used them to add the fwooper vocal chords. Plop-ploppity-plop! They landed into the potion. His wand, having never left his hand was then waved above the potion before Cutty reached for the doxy venom.
He made sure his gloves were firmly in place on his hands, then taking the dropper let one drop of the substance fall into his cauldron. It made a steamy airy sound, not too unlike hissing, as it steamed forming a cloud of smoke above it.
Eventually, the smoke cleared and Cutty again waved his wand above the potion. Looked like there was only one ingredient left and it sounded delicious
The frog's leg was added and with it, Cutty whispered into the potion, "Barty Crouch, Senior." He looked into his cauldron then watched the colour turn once more. He gave it a minute until the colour no longer seemed to be altering itself. Packing up his things, he listened to the example given by Cosgrach Culloden about clean-slate Donald. His expression remained neutral, but he was picking up the useful way in which the potion could work. In fact, it seemed to Cutty that the potions effects would be even more potent on someone who always did the right thing. For why did they always do the right thing in the first place if they had no conscience to bother them? He shut off the fire and placed the lid on his cauldron, leaving behind some of the potion for the professor to inspect and grade.

Leah swallowed as the professor vanished potions but luckily he had prepared potions for those poor students. She was on the right track. The second year paid attention to the next steps. She picked up the bowl with the thoroughly grated unicorn horn and dumped its contents into her cauldron. Placing the bowl down with a soft thump, Leah pulled out her wand, and drew an arrow pointing to the right as instructed.
Completely ignoring the drama going on among other students, Leah watched her potion turning bright white before picking up her glumbumble(?) parts and adding them into her cauldron. Then she needed to use her stirrer again. "Scourgify" she said, pointing her wand at the wooden stirrer. Yep, everything needed to be perfect. Then she put her clean stirrer into the cauldron and stirred five times clockwise as she counted under her breath.
Just as she finished the step, another step appeared on the board. Taking the fwooper voice chords, she added them into the cauldron. Taking up her wand again, Leah gave it a wave, feeling slightly stupid without the normal incantations. When was this going to end, eh?
And a cauldron melted. Feeling a little sympathy for the girl who once saved her from a garden gnome during CoMC lesson, the second year looked around for the doxy venom. Finding it behind her wand, she dropped a drop into her potion. Boom! Smoke. Cough cough. A few seconds later, she waved her wand around and waited for the next instructions.
Now Professor Culloden was all smiling again. Just like the smiley face on the board. Leah picked up the frog leg and frowning, threw it into the cauldron. Gross. And to say something... to the potion? Looking around, the second year leaned forward and whispered, "Don't follow your dreams chase them." Her motto. Very motivative.
The potion turned into dark grayish color. Smiling, the girl pulled out a vial and filled it with her potion. For her homework, or better stuff. She also scribbled 'Cabeza de Turco' on a piece of parchment and stuck it onto the vial so that she would not forget. She then started packing up her things and cleaned up her workstation, or tried to anyway. "Goodbye, Professor Culloden. It was a good lesson." With that, the girl walked out of the classroom and into the corridor.

Merlin. The drama that was going on is just too much for Ethan. He rolled his eyes—which was rare, by the way and continued with his potion. Seriously. Why does the drama have to happen in Potions all the time? Why? This is supposed to be a serious subject…well it was back in his old school, but Merlin. This class is just…hmm. Too distracting. Filtering out the noise, Ethan commanded his brain to only hear and absorb the potions master’s instructions. He will leave the classroom in a while with new information, and nothing else.
So. Back to his potion. Bright white? The Slytherin squinted at the sight of his mixture and added the glumbumble parts, then stirred his concoction five times clockwise. Done? Done.
Then he got half of the Fwooper voice chords, added it to his potion and waved his wand elegantly. Nose up in the air and all, mimicking his cousin.
The Slytherin however, scrunched up his nose as he got a waft of something burning. A cauldron, perhaps? Ethan didn’t mind and continued with his potion. He got his Doxy Venom and added a drop to his mixture. He watched as it produced a smoke, and while he was waiting for it to dissipate, he cleaned all of his tools and took down notes. He too, cannot wait for this class to be over. Drama and Potions don’t mix well. At all, actually. As soon as the vapour vanished, he waved his wand again.
At this point, Ethan wasn’t as enthusiastic compared to earlier. Potions is his favourite subject, and some people just got the natural talent to ruin things. Ruin this class for him. Last step. Finally. The Slytherin dropped the frog leg into his potion and opened his mouth to say a motivational quote or inspirational person to his concoction. He closed it again and eyed his cauldron sadly. Ruined potions class, and remembering two of the people he hold most dear. He sighed and leaned closer to his cauldron and whispered: “Aldred Ames Mordaunt.” His dad. Ethan didn’t even bother looking into his cauldron to check if it had a gray color and got his quill and notebook instead to write down additional notes from Professor Cosgrach.
As soon as he was done writing everything down, he placed all of his things inside his satchel and cleaned his workstation. Satisfied, he got up from his seat and gave a tired and probably sad wave to the potions master. “Thanks, Professor.” And off he went to his next class.

Final step...adding a frog leg. And whispering a motivational quote or name?! To the POTION?! That seemed an odd step. As Benny picked up the leg, he tried to think of what he could whisper. Nothing seemed to be coming to mind. Finally he added the frog leg before leaning in to whisper. "Shoot for the moon."
He then looked between the notes on the board and his cauldron to compare what should be an what was. The liquid with the appropriate gray so that was all that mattered. The third year finished copying down his notes before filling two vials full of the potion before packing everything up and leaving a sample for the professor to look over.
"Thank you for class," he said before heading out. Inwardly dreading the thought of homework involving the potion.

West's potion had turned bright white at this point and he was doing an awesome job of ignoring all the shouting and whatever. Wasn't his problem so why should he get up in arms about it? He added the glumbumble parts and then used his wooden stirrer to stir it all five times clockwise. The half of a fwooper voice chords went in next and West obligingly gave his wand a wave over it as instructed.
He noticed Culloden was kinda... getting less interested in things but made no comment, just followed the next lot of instructions. He very carefully added a single drop of doxy venom and then leaned back a bit to avoid the smoke. Once it had stopped smoking he waved his wand once more then looked up at Culloden. Pretty close to done yeah? They were down to the last ingredient...
And Culloden was smiling again.
Weirdo.
Right. Last ingredient. a Motivational Quote or an Inspirational Name? West capitalized the options in his head for some reason.... and his ears caught something that sounded like a certain name that essentially threaded through his heart and head all the time. But no. Surely nobody had said the name of the former Gryffindor Captain. He was imagining it.
He added the frog leg. Hmmm. What to choose. A name felt better to him than a quote. Only one inspirational name though, even if like Ravenclaw!Sophie he did wonder about more than one...
...
.... He was torn. His dad? Jimi Hendrix? Colin Mackenzie? Then he thought of one. He whispered it. "Abraham Botros."
It turned a dark grey and West eyed it. Not very appealing looking huh? All the same he decanted it into a couple vials and then cleaned his cauldron out. All his equipment went away and he mulled over uses for the stuff. Done, West packed up and quietly left, with just a polite nod, not wanting to bother Culloden further than he already had been by pretty much everyone else.

Marigold, using her left hand as her wand was still in her right, added the doxy venom. She waved her wand, also. She was almost done, right? That was good. And Culloden was all happy again. What even.
She added the frog leg, then began thinking of someone she admired. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. She could whisper it, so she wouldn't be embarrassed. Therefore, she leaaaaaned reallllllll close to her cauldron, then whispered almost inaudibly. "Elodie." She straightened up, done with class now, because her potion seemed to be the right color. "Thanks!" she said to Culloden. She liked this class.
Cosgrach nodded at the students bidding him goodbye. He remembered Kevin would come help him clean this place, so he felt even better. Should he deliberately spoil some ingredients for the boy, since everyone cleaned after themselves? Hmm...

He wished he could acknowledge her offer of help - he liked the idea, but that Kevin boy'd made him feel guilty about it (how very convenient mweh), so... haha. He would. He would catch this girl somewhere soon, because she promised to be a quality company.

He fished out a vial of Developing Solution from his robe's pocket. He smiled at the boy excitedly.
"I would like you thank you for the effort you're putting in your potions," he said, "and for being a good student. This is a small gift from me as a way of appreciating your conduct." He handled him the vial. "Sophie told me you enjoy photography, so I brewed a Developing Solution. You probably have it already, but - I hope you still enjoy it." He looked at the boy almost shyly - as if he was afraid he wouldn't like it. "I played with it a little, so that the pictures should look even better and be harder to tear."
Well? Did he like it?

Two PERFECT Gryffindors - the type that didn't cost the house 5 points, y'know? Cosgrach smiled at the girls.
"Thank you for doing your best, Lucy," he told the girl (perks of that homework - he'd learnt a few names there) and turned to... to... "Candice!" Yes! Heh.
"Well, yours probably won't be effective on people with no or little conscience," he said, "but with people who are good in daily life anyway, it should work just fine."

"I mean it would make sense if the potion was used to make someone feel better or do something good. But if for some really bad reason, someone uses it to manipulate another for the wrong reasons, wouldn't it serve to have a depressing quote or mention the name of someone really bad?"
Ah, of course they would want to know. Cosgrach smiled at both of them - still feeling amazing as he'd pretty much defeated Kevin - and said "It is to make the brewer feel better, stronger and more in control. This positive feeling will also make the potion more powerful, especially considering this is manipulative potion. The brewer must feel strong and well to manipulate." Did they understand the sense? "And, Sophie? It doesn't matter how many names you whisper, as long as you aren't distracted with trying to remember everyone." Then the potion wouldn't work. "So speak at a normal pace, don't stutter and stuff, and you can name a hundred names as well."
And... he totally wasn't... caaaaasually approaching Sophie to hear her whisper.
Oh but he was. Even though she might utter a hundred names and it wouldn't include him and it would break his heart.

Know something? She didn't remember asking for Kevin's input on this so even though he'd jumped up blabbering things no one understands she graciously ignored him and kept her gaze on the now...confused looking Professor. Was something wrong? Had he NOT noticed her good deed of shutting Kevin up so he wouldn't infuriate the man further? Talk about a waste.
Aaaaand now he was just plain ignoring them?
Er....had she missed something? Did this mean it was perfectly fine to leave the kid like that because Merlin she would, or maybe she'd do another silent casting while she was at it but by now she couldn't think of anything civil enough so....she'd just keep her wand to himself while she waited on an answer she assumed would be coming.
Just as she'd thought, she'd have to unjinx him. No point in pretending to be disappointed. It could only last so long anyway. Lex took aim at him again just in time to hear the last bit about.......detention? Really? For finally being the one to shut him up so people could get back to the lesson? This was what helpfulness got her? Brilliant. She'd keep that in mind next time. For now, the Gryffindor kept a perfectly even expression. In truth, it was only detention. "Finite." THERE he was free to annoy the population once more but she wouldn't be sticking around to suffer through it.
"I'll see you later Professor." And a solemn nod before the Gryffindor exited the Potions Classroom. This was officially whatever.

Oh? ooooooh?! what was this?
Kevin , still with his mouth jinxed with the langlock curse was grinning from ear to ear as he watched the Professor ACTUALLY giving her a detention. Not him, HER! He snickered behind his hand and when she casted the finite spell on him he opened his mouth to say something.
But before he could say a word, the Prefect had already AGREED to the detention. Kevin's delighted expression fell and he frowned. Where was all the yelling and calling the Professor unfair because even he knew it kind of was. Not that he cared of course. But come on! Just a simple reaction to THIS?!
He watched her walk out of the room and turned to the Professor with a raised eyebrow. "Well, now you've done it, she's maaad at you" Not that he actually knew that she was or not but he wanted to make the Professor feel guilty. "And i KNEW you had my back!" oh this was awesome.
The Gryffindor blinked as a Ravenclaw student had walked over to his station and offered her doxy venom to him. What...was going on?! First the Professor was calm with his super creepy mood change and now someone was HELPING HIM?! He did not take the dropper from her just yet but simple blinked at her like she was the first person he had seen in a long time.
First Zahra and now Sophie....hehehe he was quite the ladies man wasn't he?
With a grin, Kevin took the dropper and added it to the cauldron. "Banks" he whispered which was supposed to be a thanks but because of his lang-lock jinxed mouth he couldn't really say that.
The next step was a bit pointless for the Gryffindor since he had to say a motivational word but he COULDN'T SPEAK correctly. So he simply dumped the frog leg in the potion and sat back down in his seat and snapped his head to the direction of his Prefect who he just KNEW she was talking about him.

As Kevin accepted her doxy venom, Sophie actually smiled at him. Not so harmless, eh? Did ZAHRA see that? That peace had been restored between the two houses? No? Of course not. "No prob." She took the dropper bottle back from him and made her way back to her seat, and along the way, she grinned upon seeing Culloden giving Mo a potion. HEHEHEHE. SHE HEARD HER NAME, TOO. She was way too smitten with herself, but she didn't go over there because she still needed to finish up.
She took the precaution of cleaning her gloves again - someone else just had touched the bottle she was carrying, so it only made sense - before dropping the frog leg into her potion. Culloden's answer to her question was satisfactory enough, but she noticed him caaaaasually creeping toward her as she leaned toward the cauldron...
...
She leaned back and shoved at him, grinning big. "Get outta here." She didn't really expect him to, though, and was certain he didn't as she leaned toward the cauldron again and rattled off the names, "Caterina Moretti. Marcus Branxton." Was she making him sweat? "...Cosgrach Culloden." She pulled back, then, beaming first at her potion as it changed to a dark grey color, then up at him. "Best for last, yeah?"
"I'll see you later Professor." And a solemn nod before the Gryffindor exited the Potions Classroom. This was officially whatever.

But promise was promise, and he didn't want to be 'that' type of people who adjusted their promises according to their interest...
He nodded at her - and he remembered he was also angry at her. Because this also meant Kevin had been silent only because he couldn't be LOUD. Way to ruin a good day, Kevin.
...did he... even?
Cosgrach felt it. The anger wave. Coming - coming - hitting him -
"Tonight - promptly at 7.30 PM -" His voice was shaking in anger, and those were the only words he could utter. He wanted to K I L L the boy. Then reawaken him, only to K I L L again!
"GET OUT!" he yelled afterwards - because if he didn't, there would be MURDER.

That only made Cosgrach settle down further with a cheeky grin. Though his heart was RACING and - what if she really meant it? WHat if she really thought - because she would NOT mention his name -
Maybe he really should get out of there. But he was paralysed, with only an ugly shadow of his earlier well-pretended cheeky grin. Caterina... Mo...
His name - OH! He couldn't even pretend: He was visibly relieved and touched. "Yeah," he croaked and cleared his throat, "I s'ppose." Was it unprofessional to be this attached to a student? Care this much? Probably. Definitely.
"It looks perfect," he breathed out quickly and walked away to busy himself with anything. He was being stupid. Completely stupid, soon to be heartbroken.

Sophie tried not to notice his anger, but it was hard not to - still, she played along and tried to be her normal, joking self with him. Until... he almost looked... pained? Did he not like her teasing him like that? Did he really, for a second, even think she wasn't going to say him? Or was it too much that she DID say his name?
...Slipping out of her chair, she stood by her workstation to clean up and pack things away properly, but she addressed him as he wandered off to do whatever. "'Course it's perfect. I take after you, don't I?" She stopped to watch him - what was he even doing? - and continued along lightly, "If it makes you feel better, yours was the first name that came to mind. Obviously." If he had any doubts. It just happened that she had been working next to Cat the whole lesson, and she had just seen his exchange with Mo, and... she needed to add those names, too.
But, as far as inspirational people went, he was first in her book.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

Oh! he had almost forgotten about his potion. That's how funny the situation of the Gryffindor Prefect getting a detention was to him. He turned around to face his own potion and since he had already put in the frog leg earlier he just had to say something motivational. Or a inspirational person. Mweh was it lame to say his own name? yeah it pretty much was.
Thinking for a moment, the Gryffindor began to whisper to his cauldron. "Yuki Hirase" Who was his mother. He didn't want to say his father because he looked more up to his mother if he had to be honest. Aaaand. "Phineas Bourne" The man had written Moste Potente Potions and although Kevin had never seen it before, it was one of his goals in life to brew one of those potions that the man had invented.
When he was done with his work, Kevin turned around to griiiiin at the Professor but he stopped. For the first time, the boy looked scared. He jumped at the GET OUT! Shout directed towards him and quickly grabbed his bag from under the working station. "O-ok..." he muttered in nervousness and quickly ran from the room. Glad that he didn't have to be in the same room with him NOW.
