Do you need a spare lab to practice some Potion making in?
Do you need to store your Potion between classes?
Do you want to observe the Newton in his Potion Making?
Or is it that you cannot find your Potionmaster anywhere else?
Well, likely story is that he will be HERE. Set up at his own lab bench up the front of the class, working on a Potion, or even writing in his notes.
The Student Lab is a medium sized room. Smaller than the classroom, of course. There are tables set up in an orderly fashion, with high stools underneath, in case you wish to sit down. There is a central gas source on all tables, with enough nozzles for six bunsen burners to be attached at the same time. The cupboard in the front of the class holds a large stock of cauldrons, scales, glass phials, mixing spoons, and more, textbooks, and other recipe books, as well as other essential and non-essential oddments.
Feel free to come in and tinker around. Just remember to put on your lab coat, and if you wish to come and speak to Professor Newton, just... try not to sneak up on him.

So this was the Potions-lab?
I was extremely cool looking. Mason wondered if it had looked so new when her father had been at school. He had always been exceptional at making potions. That was probably why she had always been so fascinated by the subject.
But she was here on a mission. A very important message, that required some ingredients. Ones she doubted she could find outside. And she wasn't in any mood to rob the storeroom.

Art was bent over behind the table up the front, fiddling with the gas settings, when he heard a voice.
He popped his head up and looked over the surface of the table, then stood up, feeling the cracks of his joints as he straightened up.
"Hello Miss. Stevens," he said with a smile. "Is... is there uhh.. anything I can h-help you with today?" he asked.

Mason fidgeted, it was always awkward asking adults for stuff. Especially after you had devised a plan that involved some trouble, not serious trouble, but still.
Mason looked at the Professor and cleared her throat, "Yeah. I mean yes," she said, "I was wondering if maybe I could get some ingredients for a potion, sir."
She really hoped that the older man didn't suspect anything, that was literally the last thing that she and Kitty needed.
"Only a few things, professor," she said with a smile, "I just need a Bat Tongue, Tortoise Shell and Hairy Fungus. And sir, which way would be the best to turn Tortoise Shell into a powder?"

Totally not suspicious at all, Mason.
Art looked at Miss Stevens for a moment, after she had said she would like some ingredients for a potion. He smiled and nodded, listening to the ingredents she needed. He put his finger up to his chin and tapped on it, having a think. "Y-you wish to... to brew an ageing potion?" he asked. "For uhh... for which purpose, Miss Stevens?" Not only was the potion an advanced one, but he was quite curious as to her purpose of attempting to brew the potion.
For now, he ignored her last question, but if her answer seemed valid enough, he would of course explain to her that a simple mortar and pestle, and some elbow grease would powder that tortoise shell. Or, easier yet, the already powdered tortoise shell was in stock.

Well obviously Mason had been stupid to assume that the Potions Master wouldn't know what the ingredients were for.
But Mason had been prepared for the question. She had obviously thought of an excuse as to why an 11 year old needed an Ageing Potions. Master plans need clever-preparations after all.
So Mason did her best at blushing and looked shyly down at the floor, "Well, um, Professor. It's kind of embarrassing, but um, there's this boy that I have. . . erm, feelings for. But he only goes for girls his age or older. and I oh so desperately want him to notice me. I don't know what else to do, this is all that I could think of!"
Insert a few fake tears and gross-sounding sniffles here for effect.
"I know it's silly, but Professor, I really want this so very much!" she looked up at him and wiped at her sodden eyes. "Can't you remember what it was like to be young and in love, Professor?"
Oh Merlin, please. Just let him sympathise, please.

Art gulped audibly as he watched Miss Stevens blush. Great Scott, he wasn't used to this. He shuffled awkwardly and looked up at the ceiling, noticing a spot of something up there. Old potion from an explosion, perhaps? Oh no, boy troubles. He glanced around again, noticing that Miss Stevens was between himself and the door. There was no quick escape for the man. Girl feelings, he just didn't understand. He cleared his throat as he listened to her, but then tried not to chuckle. "M-Miss Stevens, this... err... this boy, do uhh... do you think he would be um... y-you know, at-attracted to you if you had... had um... grey hair, wrinkles and liver spots?" Because he would surely notice her that way.
Wait, was she CRYING? He took a box of tissues from under his desk and slid them over to her. "Th-there there," he said, standing at a distance from her. "You know, one day when-when uhh... when you've finished school, and you're uhhh... older. Not grey older, but... a bit older, you will... will find the man you're supp-supposed to settle down with and uhh... and you will be ready. Until then... hmm... you-you should focus on your studies. P-put your-your energy into studying and the world is your oyster." Was he doing a good job of comforting the young lady?
Er... "N-no, I studied, and got good grades, and I..." he scratched the back of his head. "I loved study."

Melbourne Johanson was excited for this. Potions work time? Yeah that sounded like loads of fun, but potions time with a best friend was going to be extra awesome right? Of course it was.
Walking into the student lab the Gryffindor girl just looked around and trudged over to a free table before setting up her cauldron above one of the burners. Yep, first things first. She was going to clean everything…even the table because pfft lets be real that was important now wasn’t it?
Sitting on one of the workbenches she sat there and waited. Now…she needed to know what potion they were going to work on. Whatever it was, was gonna be fun right?

A mop of curly hair peeked through the doorway. Huh so this is that personal kitchen the Potions Master had in the dungeons. Well that’s how it was to Tenacius. Potions is just cooking see? Its just that not everything that comes from a stove can be edible. Just ask his grandmother.
But there was his childhood bestie and he bounded to the table where she was at "Soooo what are we coookin?" Poke tweak twist all the things. Oh look mini ickle gas pipes "Who needs to learn Incendio when we get summa these?" he chuckled.

SPOILER!!: the options
Babbling Beverage
Ingredients:
water (500 mL)
Alihosty leaves (fresh, 5g)
billywig stings (dried, 2)
erumpant tongue (powdered, a pinch)
armadillo bile (5 mL)
leechjuice (2 drops)
Instructions:
Stew Alihosty leaves in simmering water for 20 minutes.
Remove all traces of the leaves and return water to a boil.
Add dried billywig stings and erumpant stings and allow to boil for 10 minutes, continuously stirring counterclockwise.
Allow potion to cool to room temperature, then add armadillo bile and stir 5 times, counterclockwise.
Add leechjuice and stir 20 times, counterclockwise.
Potion should be light brown in color. Pour into vials for indefinite storage.
Magical Fireworks
Use/Effect:
Magical fireworks do not require flames to be ignited, and are really little explosions of magic. Once created, they are much safer to use than their muggle equivalents
Ingredients:
Water
Big handful of dried flakes of Salamander skin
One jalapeno pepper
a dash of sheep bile
three grains of salt
A tab or wick
Tissue paper (whatever colors you please)
Instructions:
Fill Cauldron with water
Bring it to a boil
Add dried flakes of Salamander skin
Dice and add one jalapeno pepper to your potion
Stir 13 times anti clockwise
Add a dash of sheep bile. This will make your potion turn gray and become the consistency of liquid concrete, so it will be harder to stir.
add three grains of salt
stir 4 times clockwise until malleable
Mold into a form (any you'd like)
Put the tab or wick into the firework
Wrap it in the coloured paper
Emotional Change Potion
Effect: A half-dark potion that makes the drinker feel one of these emotions: Happiness, sadness, excitement, fear, tenderness, anger.

Two sprigs of lovage
4 mistletoe berries
4 measures of fluxweed
2 measures of boomslang skin
Ten newt larvae
Happiness: 3 Alihotsy leaves
Sadness: A teaspoon of glumbumble treacle
Excitement: Half a handful of ferret fur
Fear: A scoop of black flies
Tenderness: 2 teaspoons of dog saliva
Anger: 7 hippogrif feathers
Instructions
Fill halfway with pure water
Slowly lower your wand as if you're drawing a straight, vertical line with your wand and say Apto pressura (wand movement: straight, vertical line onto the cauldron)
Heat to 100 degree celcius and keep the heat at 100 and ONLY 100 AT ALL TIMES
Chop the lovage well and add it
Wait for 5 seconds
Add the berries right after 5 seconds
Cut the fluxweed leaves in three pieces and add
With a wooden stick, stir once clockwise, once counter clockwise and alternate like that for 7 times: so the total number of stirs is 14
CHECKPOINT: It should be muddy, but not smelly.
Add boomslang skin and wait for 5 minutes
Add the larvae
CHECKPOINT: It should be completely clear like clean water
Happiness: Add 3 Alihotsy leaves and laugh as loudly as you can at a happy memory
Sadness: Think of the saddest moment in your life while adding a teaspoon of glumbumble treacle
Excitement: Sprinkle half a handful of ferret fur and stir it as quickly as you can in the clockwise direction until the fur completely dissipates (usually takes 30-45 seconds)
Fear: Squish a scoop of flies well in the mortar and add it
Tenderness: Gently add 2 teaspoons of dog saliva without any splashes
Anger: Throw 7 hippogrif feathers in as if you're angry at something and they are your relief
Mel glanced up at her curly haired friend and grinned. Of course it was her choice to find something to make…oh please don’t laugh at this she thought for a moment before indicating to the notebook next to her. “take a look I found a few in my sisters books that could be interesting?” She shrugged and pushed the books closer to Tenacius.
“I actually want to invent a potion one day…” she admitted with a grin, “a mix between the babbling potion and the truth potion? One were it makes people just say the truth and babble about it” she shrugged “could be fun…or dangerous but most likely would be fun” she shrugged and turned to look at the gas pipes.
“Yeah…but do they have an ignition thingy?” She asked looking closer at the piping “maybe incendio is like the wizarding equivalent of a match?...which if it is I feel really sorry for Muggles, they are missing out.” She nodded and tipped her head at Ace for a moment before turning to her potions supplies and cleaning them again it wasn’t like she was meticulous, not really, she just needed to remember to do certain things and well, didn’t want to ask about things…despite if she knew people would want to know.

Actually this was news to him "You actually go through your sisters' books? Mellynerrrrrrrd." he cackled. Wouldn’t catch him going through his father's old books, if they were still around and if the pages actually had answers written in them. How his dad got to be one of the top Slytherin student will remain a mystery to him.
But yeah he did take a look at this book. But oh wait what is Mel saying? "Babbling truth potion? That sounds like something the Ministry probably have bottles and bottles of." he chuckled "Or maybe something being sold at Knockturn Alley? Hey!-- Why not make that and then sell it down there huh? Its not like they're gonna check for paperwork or anything." How does he know this? How does his father know this? He just does.
Incendio as an ignition switch? "I don’t think so, I mean I use it to get a campfire started." he twirls his wand into his hand before making a quick flame like stroke with it "Incendio." And there it was, like a lighter flame, small and bright.
But back to that book. Yup theres that Babbling Beverage Mel was talking about. But the next recipe took his attention. How could it not? "That!" he poked the book eagerly "Magical Fireworks! No flame needed." beam beam beam "Its like its meant to be used indoors."
He had a quick look at the next potion on the list before doing the double take "Whoooah, this looks wicked, like seriously wicked." he tapped at the Emotional Change Potion "Imagine giving that and you can drive the other guy insane."

Melbourne crinkled her nose at Tenacius and sighed. “Nooooo I just took them and used my money for…other things” she nodded and shoved a book closer to him. “India’s notes were pretty good she even wrote down some questions and things and tips…like always clean supplies otherwise things can be explosive” Mel laughed more at the thought of exploding cauldrons than at anything else.
“I know…it’d probably end up in that mystery department never to be seen again” she pouted until she heard his answer. “Yes. That. Lets do that. We could be gallionaires!” She grinned at the idea “but if we get the paperwork we could liscence them and then sell them for more money” she grinned at the idea.
“Yeah…I don’t know maybe its for when wands aren’t accessible? Or maybe the Professor wanted it to look like a muggle thing?” She offered shrugging her shoulder.
“ooooooooooooooooh that sounds brilliant.” She grinned. “maybe it’ll be a good end of term prank?” She asked and then tipped her head to the side at the last option. “Lets do it. We could fill food with it and leave it in the kitchens and watch peoples moods go all wacky” she grinned.
