Rooney had FOUR notebooks with him. Because he was planning on narrating his experience on paper to use as research for a script he wanted to try write. Try, anyway. His plan was to write a whole musical with Liv, but for now he would settle with writing his ideas in any way felt good to him. Right now...it was script writing. Maybe he would be good at that. Because he clearly wasn't good at spells affecting gravity. Between his clipboard form and the notebooks, he would be writing in this meeting on par with his usual daily people note taking and watching. He was actually in the middle of writing a pros and cons list for both potions when he decided on a whim which it was he was going to test.

When else would he get to willingly be subject to a love potion?

Stepping up to the front of the lab, Roo took a serving into a cup before moving back to his space at his desk. He left it to sit on the desk for a few minutes, whilst he wrote out how he felt right now into his notebook. As he looked over the analysis form, filling in the pre-ingestion portion, Roo glanced carefully around the room to see which potions his peers had. A...split selection, hm. A lot of the things on the form, he didn't care much for answering because it would take soooooo much time AND HE WANTED TO GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD. Without time to consider, the Ravenclaw brought the cup to his lips and downed the contents.

He hadn't had time to smell it, which...he would later regret, but oooooooooh it tasted like...like...well, it tasted like a nice kiss from Miss Charlotte Hannah Kettleburn. Something of which he couldn't have right now but waaaanted. Ooooh yum..

Hm.

....


Ah.. At least he had the time to check what he looked like in his pocket mirror. Pale as anything, yikes.. "Profe--" Nevermind. His tummy was warming, his heart was warming and he wanted to wiggle his fingers at everyone possible. Instead, he carried on looking at his reflection and considered just once if a person could fall in love with themselves. AND THEN HE SAW... Oh. Oh.

................................ Ehehehe.

Oh, wasn't Hadley Denaker bEAUTIFUL?!?????!?!!!!!!!!!

What a babe.

Wow.

He was just going to sit here, resting his chin in his hands and watching her. Watching, waiting.. She sat places very perfectly. What a giiiiiiiift. Wow.

Hadley smiled at her Name Twin. "I'm gonna try the aging potion again. Properly, this time." Because that was the only thing, in her mind, the emerald green one could be. "But only a little bit." She was aiming for 20, not 120.

Hads shrugged and returned Brooklyn's nod. The girl certainly wasn't that warm or chatty, but oh well. It was time to begin anyway. With another shrug, Hads made her way to the vat of emerald green liquid and grabbed two cups. She scooped up a bunch in one cup then spent the next 5 minutes eyeballing just the right amount in the second cup.

Once satisfied, Hadley carried her potion over to a workstation and got to work. Density? How where they supposed to find that? It hadn't moved like syrup when she was pouring it, so Hadley based her answer off that. Next she held it up to the light, and some of the light and room could be seen through it, so yes, it was transparent-ish. Contents? Looked clean.

How were they supposed to test the pH? In science at muggle schools they had those little paper strips, but she didn't see those there, so Hadley eyeballed it. It wasn't melting through the cup, so that meant it wasn't acidic. Next to pH she put a big, fat zero, because obviously zero pH meant not acidic right?

Boiling point. Right. Hadley poured the potion into a beaker and set it on a burner. Then she put in a thermometer. "Incendio!" The burner was lit, so now she just had to wait for it to boil. It started to bubble when the temperature reached 112. So she wrote that down.

Freezing point? Hadley extinguished the burner, and looked around. How were they supposed to test that? Ummmmm... "Glacius!" And suddenly the potion was engulfed in a solid block of ice. Oops.

She'd barely finished writing down her answers when the tingly spread throughout her. In the very next moment, Hadley shot up a full inch, and then stopped. Her robes were starting to get a bit tighter in some areas, but not by much. Certainly no where near as much as Melon had described with herself.

Pulling out a mirror in a hurry, Hadley examined herself. HEY! Look, she grew into her nose finally! Er...she will grow into her nose. When does that happen?

SPOILER!!: Adult Hadley

WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO HADLEY?! WHAT WAS... OH no. OH NO. No, no, no, no, no. She was.... ooooooooh, ehehehe. He tilted his head and gave her a finger wiggle. Her potion hadn't changed her too much - he kneeeew she'd had the green one and thought she would have looked AMAZING with a beard. Maybe some old lady tufts of hair above her lip... Anything would look perfect. Perfect.

SHE WAS LOOKING AT HIM !!!!!!!

HADLEY DENAKER KNEW THAT HE EXISTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rooney Alexander Denaker. Yes, he was going to take her name when they got married and then they would finally be able to kiss and kiss and live happily ever after. Eheheheh. This was a complete fairytale, and he was Prince Charming and she... his love, was Cinderella.

"Ooooooohh Haddddiiieieeeeeeee! Haddddieeee!" LOOKIN' AT CHU THROUGH ROSE TINTED EYES. He waved over to her, also trying to get her to come over here as he was working on folding a piece of paper up to make her a ring. So romantic. Oh, this really felt amazing. LOVE. LOVE. LOOOOOOOOOVE.

Oh how he wanted to nuzzle up into her hair and see what that smelt like. Perfection, probably. Did perfection have a smell? Of course it did! It was Hadleeeeeey smelling. Princess Hadley... Perfect Princess Hadley.

More waving. C'meeeeere, Princess.

Hadley was very much trying to ignore the Rooster's staring. It was awkward and weird and whoa...her hand. It was her hand still, the same one she'd just had, but also...different. It was kinda...kinda...he was still staring at her!!

WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!? She hadn't done anything all week! This wasn't still about the opening feast was it, because that boy needed to grow up. Like she had just done. Okay, this was ridiculous. Hadley repositioned herself so her back was turned to Rooster and continued to work on her analysis.

Ugh. She could still feel his eyes boring into her. And now he was calling to her...singsong? This was getting ridiculous. She was what? 4 or 6, maybe even 8 years older than him now. He had even less power over her than he did before. She was going stop this right now!

And he was waving at her. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? The wave, beckoning her. The goofy, dopey expression. Calling to her all singsong and...........NO!

Nononononononono!!!!!


EW!

Please, Merlin no!

But once she realized it, there was no denying it. Rooster was crushing on her, hard. Ew. She had to stop this...but how? She'd never rejected a guy before. She'd never even had a guy like her like that before. Why did it have to be him!? Okay, she can do this.

Getting up, Hadley made her way over to the adolescent lover-boy, and glared. Arms folded over her chest. "No. No. Whatever this is, Rooster, not happening!" Was that forceful enough? Did he get it?

SHE WAS COMING OVER TO TALK TO HIM. Was his hair okay? Where had he put his mirror? Oh, she was so pretty........ Had she seen that? If he could find his mirror, he'd have shown her, but she was busy being in front of him and she needed his undying attention. She had his undying love. "You're pretty." That was an understatement, but he couldn't quite get his words from his brain to his mouth without just staring and maybe drooling a bit.

Reaching out tentatively, Roo stole one of Hadley's hands and clutched it between both of his as he clambered onto the table to see her better. To be eye level with the looooooove of his teenage life. "You're perfect, and I'm a prefect. Our letters match..." They were made for each other. This was why she was in Ravenclaw: to be with him.

Because she loved him too. And that was why he kissed her hand.

Given the choice between aging potion and love potion it should be obvious which one Esme was going to choose. Even though it so happened to be pink - her favourite colour - there was no way that she was going to ingest something that turned her into a complete fool. She could be Rooney for crying out loud. Though his mooning over Haddie was pretty funny; obviously Esme felt bad for her but yeah. She could deal with a boy's attentions.

Hopping from her seat, she scooped up some of the green potion. Bottoms up.

This was a nightmare right? It had to be. She just needed to pinch herself and wake up.......and he was holding her hand.

Ew.

On top of all that he hadn't heard a thing she'd said. What was going on? And why was he moving her hand closer to his face!? EWEWEWEWEW!!!!! Hadley wrenched her hand free wiping off the Rooster contamination on her robes. She glared so hard at the boy, and nothing. Not even a sign of acknowledgement of the hateful glare she was giving him.

It was like he was under some kinda spell. Exactly like he was under a spell. Merlin, she was dense sometimes. Hadley cast a glance over at the other potion. The pink one she hadn't taken. A love potion? This was bad.

Or maybe not. A devious smirk grew on her face. She could have fun with this, and at the very least it'll keep him from slobbering on her again. "Wait here, Rooster." Hadley spun, and made her way back to her bag, pulling out her camera she always keeps in it.

She was grinning like an idiot when she returned. "I don't think you love me enough. You'll have to prove it. By...dancing as crazy as you can! And I'll take pictures so I'll always be able to remember how you proved yoru love to me!" Or for blackmail. Whichever.

SPOILER!!: Hady! <3

Looking down at the parchment she silently began to read over everything. It appeared easy enough to work it out on her own but she wouldn't mind working with someone either. Sooo she might as well take up Professor Stewart on her offer. "I am," she replied softly turning her head to the side just enough to be able to see the women.

Some of the students had already gotten into the entire drinking scenario. Rooney and Haddie had managed to grab Kay's attention and this was why she was struggling with keeping her laughter under control. It would be very unprofessional if she burst out into fits of laughter though she did allow herself to grin. Rooney was quite the gentleman while Haddie was being Haddie with that suggestion of him dancing.


Hearing the soft voice of Hady, Kay looked towards her. "Excellent, Ms Lynch!'' She took the seat next to her student, concerned about her. Hady didn't look much better off than she had during the last Muggle Studies lesson. "Ms Lynch, if you ever need to talk about anything, I'm here.'' Kay hated to see her students struggle with anything. "Are you ready for an older Professor?'' She raised the container with her potion and drank.

Growth potion he'd tried already, but... he wasn't sure if he wanted to try the other. Experimenting with love potions? He'd been pretty sure this summer that he wouldn't want to do it. When the Muggle Studies professor called out about the aging one though... he looked at the Gryffindor prefect. "I like to test stuff! I did the aging one already though. I think I should try the... other... one."

Hopefully with... you know. Not disastrous results. He wanted to ask the professor how exactly it was meant to work, but... well. That was what the experiment was for. Right? Right.

He nodded lightly at the prefect again when he asked about getting it. That worked... he would just stay here, examine the form, and see how much of it he could fill out before the potion took effect. Hopefully he could still fill some of it in after, too...

Jaemin. Frankie blinked at the boy a few times, letting the name and face sink into his mind. He wondered if the young Slytherin would be okay with him calling him Jay or Jayme. Those were simpler, a bit easier to remember than Jaemin. The blond was still having a hard enough time keeping the Gryffindor first years apart.

He was about to test the waters with the nickname, though the boy quickly announced that he liked testing things. At this declaration, the prefect raised an eyebrow and gave a look of approval. A very daring Slytherin this one was. Excellent.

"Love potion?" he said slowly, taking a dramatic pause to show that he was determining whether or not the kid had been placed in the right House. He was a Slytherin, right? Love potions were pretty risky things, especially when one... A small smile snuck on his lips. "You got it!"

Without wasting another moment, the sixth year rose from his seat, avoiding eye contact with a certain Slytherin, and grabbed two potion samples: the green one for him, the pink for Jaemin. By the time he returned and gave the Slytherin his potion, a form was waiting for him. Ugh. Did he HAVE to fill it out? The Gryffindor was quite positive he signed up to only test potions, which meant not having to write anything down. He could verbally go through the list though, right? Would the kid be his personal scribe? After all, he did just fetch the love potion for the boy.

"Right. Ageing potion. Green. A bit transparent. Doesn't seem dense. Pretty clean. As for the rest of this stuff..." Frankie glanced at the form, then at the potion in his hand, and then at Jaemin. Sorry, not happening. He raised his cup up to his lips. "Bottoms up!"

Moments later, tall Frankie shrunk about half a foot, his hairline decreased and it greyed in colour, deep wrinkles appeared on his face, and a very long beard sprouted from his chin. "Wicked!" he exclaimed, raising a fist for Jaemin to bump. However, a painful shout soon left his mouth. His newly old arm bones cracked. "Oh, Merlin!" he groaned, reaching the arm with his other hand. His back then cracked. Being old officially sucked.

Rooster. They had pet names for each other! He just needed the perfect one for her, because she was perfect. (And he was a prefect.) (Had she not paid attention to him making that point??) Sweetpea? Poppet? Gumdrop? Lovebug? -- That last one was a definite no no, because his parents called each other that and it definitely wasn't the effect of the potion...but he was feeling rather nauseous about that. "SNOOKUMS!" Snookums. Yes. Perfect!

"Wait, come back! Snookums? Hadley? Snooooookums? Come baaaaaaaaaaaaack!" Because he wasn't moving from his desk. Instead, he was swinging his legs and blinking his biiiiig eyes full of love until his actual love came back to him. She was only gone mere seconds, but it was just too many seconds too long and Rooney's heart was on the cusp of breaking. Oh, snookums. What kind of world did they live in that the love of his life was so content with walking away from him?! WOE WAS THIS RELATIONSHIP! THEY TRULY WERE ROMEO AND JULIET. OH, OH. He needed to find Minnie later. To tell her that he had recast his Juliet....and...this was real. It was love. And he wouldn't be able to kiss her again.

Not even if she asked him nicely.

Because he was a taken man.

He was IN LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE.

He swooooooooooooooned as she spoke, reached for her camera and grinned. "You know I don't dance." Because she knew everything about him. Because they were in love and he was puckering up and wanting to kiss her, kissssy kissssy kisssssssssssy.

Art always loved to see students working together, especially when those students had a gap in age. Seeing the mixtures of Kay and Miss Lynch, Mr Paton and Mr Song, it was going to be a nice mix. Young students, older students, and even Professors.

He smiled at each of the testers who came up to get a tester of their preferred potion. There was a mix of people wanting to try either potion which was nice to see. And the brave ones who weren't too worried about the effects of the love potion.

"Oh hello Mis-Miss Fairfield," Art greeted the young Slytherin. He shook his head, "Not too late at all. Just grab a seat, h-have a flip through of the-the uhh the... form and pick a potion. We have aging and love potions." He gestured to each of them.

"Going for the aging potion today Miss Darcy?" Art asked the young Hufflepuff.

Art had noticed Mr Bronwyn and all of his notebooks, and was very impressed. He could only assume that was for detailing his experience. He looked up a few moments later, but the young Prefect didn't manage to finish what he was saying. Art couldn't be sure if he WAS going to say Professor or not. He let out a chuckle as he watched the Potion taking effect.

He glanced over at Miss Denaker, watching as she went about testing the various aspects of the Potion, and by the time he glanced around the class once more, he noticed the potion work. It was an OLDER Miss Denaker. Art clapped a little. "How does it feel to be aging this way on the clock?" he asked her with a chuckle. Or was the laughing too soon? No, it wasn't, because not long after... it appeared the older second year had quite the admirer. Art would have made a comment about young love and all but this was the potion effect.

Art's gaze fell upon Mr Paton, and he didn't just chuckle, HE LAUGHED. Great SCOTT he had turned into an old man. "Welcome to the silver club Mr Paton," Art said, wiping the tears from his eyes.

Pulling her attention from the green liquid in the cup in front of her Hady slowly looked around. What in th-

Oh my gosh! Hahaha!

The little blonde name twin wasn't so little anymore she aged several years earning a smile from this Slytherin but it wasn't that that was making her want to laugh so hard. It was the boy. Rooney. Proclaiming his love to one miss Haddie Denaker! It was hilarious. Surely this was something to laugh about and remember but her eyes were soon moving on to the others in the room.

It seemed as if another Prefect had ingested a potion as well. The same one currently on her table in front of her. The fact that he had shrunk in size and now had a long gray beard and gray hair certainly made him easier to look at. Could he possibly remain that way for awhile? At least now she didn't feel so much like crying or running from the room each time he looked her way.

Sighing softly the sixth year slowly turned her attention back to the potion. A small smile formed on her lips as Kay joined her at her table. "I'm alright Professor...," she whispered softly her eyes once more straying towards where Frankie was silently informing the professor that her behavior may have something to do with the boy. Thank you but no thank you she really didn't need to talk to anyone else about it. She was fine with things just how they were even if it meant avoiding him for the next year and a half.

More importantly was the potion. Watching Kay drink hers Hady picked up the small cup and was much more careful about how much she drank. There was noway she wanted to be incredibly old with sore bones. Swallowing a small mouthful of the green contents she set the cup back down. Now she didn't grow in height but nor did she shrink at all either. What did happen was her eyes shone a much brighter hazel and her hair certainly grew several more inches in length, some of the brunette changing to a much lighter shade of brown suggesting either highlights or a lot of sun. It was clear she most certainly wasn't sixteen anymore but more along the lines of her early thirties or so.

"Snookums?" The older woman raised an eyebrow at the boy. Really? That was the best he could do. It'll be worth it when she had hilarious blackmail photos, she told herself. Hadley pulled the camera away and batted the boys hand. Oh no, he was not stealing her camera. Potion or no potion, if he tried again, he was gonna get a black eye. Now, be a good lad and dance for her Monkey.

Dance Monkey, dance.

But the Monkey refused-OUTRIGHT REFUSED!!!-to dance for her. "Rooster..." She made her voice sickeningly sweet. "That's what makes it a perfect show of...your...love." Those words were hard to say. "If you dance as crazy and hilarious as you can for me, I'd know your...love...was real." Capiche? Was the child getting it already?

Her attention was pulled away by Professor Newton and she couldn't help but laugh lightly at his question. "Wonderful. Especially since I still remember who and where I am." Because that was a big part of it. "Although, discovering Hogwarts again for the first time as a kid was...magical." Pun deliberate.

And when she turned back, the monkey still wasn't dancing. Even worse. He was puckering up to kiss her. Hadley suppressed a gag and stepped out of range of the kiss. Because ew! "No...kiss," she had to suppress a gag again, "until you prove your love by dancing..."

Oh yay! So it wasn't too late to join in, then. That was good, otherwise it would've been weird. Vivian didn't want to just sit there and watch the others test the potions and have fun without her. You know? Because she was the one who added the fun... or so she believed. That's what her daddy liked to convince her anyway.

Edmund Fairfield, you horrible liar.

Beaming at the Professor, Vivian went to peek inside the two cauldrons. The other one was green - an Aging Potion, she heard from the Professor earlier and could see the effects on the other students - and the one she had her eyes one was light pink. So pretty. She noticed the effects on the older boy, the Ravenclaw prefect. Was that... a love potion? LOL. That was interesting. Vivi looked back from the aging potion to the love potion. Which one to try?

For the lulz, Vivian settled for the love potion. Just wanted to know what it felt like to be in "love". Not that she cared. She was too young for lovey dovey stuff. Her Uncle Chris would knock out pretty much any guy Vivi started to like anyway. Scooping herself a tester, Vivi then looked at the analysis form thing that Professor Newton had mentioned. Err... okay, was this a survey thing? She'd have to answer this first. The Slytherin went to take a seat with her love potion tester and filled out the pre-ingestion part of the form.

SPOILER!!: Hades! <3

It was clear she most certainly wasn't sixteen anymore but more along the lines of her early thirties or so.

While taking the potion, Kay’s eyes were still travelling around the classroom. It seemed most of the students had opted for the Aging Potion. He eyes fixed on her student partner, not missing the way Hady was looking at Franky. Kay had heard the couple had been having some issues and she felt so sorry for them both.

But she focused more on Hady, watching the changes began as she herself set down her cup. Kay was transfixed at the happenings; so transfixed that it was a while before she realised that her own changes were taking place. Her hair was changing colour slowly but surely to silver, her face and exposed skin became less elastic and more wrinkly and her vision went somewhat bad.

She was certainly older than Hady. Perhaps as old as Art or maybe more. Certainly about seventy something.

“Why, hello, Ms Lynch! You look just as pretty as you were as a teen.’’ Kay turned to Art. “Hello, Art. Do you recognise me?’’ Her voice was frail and soft. Back to Hady! “You know, if he sees just how pretty you are now, he’ll regret breaking up with you.’’ But she knew that Franky must like Hady for more than just her face. Hady was a lovely young lady.

Kay tried to ease herself out of her chair but she was too weak to do so. “Ms Lynch, please help an old lady out of her seat.’’

Hady knew that Kay had seen her glance the blondes or well not so blonde anymore way. She was also rather grateful that she also wasn't pushing the subject either. Very thankful actually. Everyone had been asking her what had happened and she just didn't want to talk about it anymore, not with anyone, not for any reason.

As she took in her own appearance she couldn't help but grin a bit. A mirror would really do right now but she didn't believe she had one. Maybe Professor Newton had one? "Professor, do you happen to have a mirror around?" Honestly she was really curious how much she changed even if she hadn't drank much of that potion.

Her eyes moved back onto her older partner a small blush creeping up into her cheeks at the womens words. "Thank you Professor, you look really good for-for however old you're supposed to be," Hady couldn't help the small laugh that escaped her lips. Good gosh how much had she drank! Haha! Now she was even more glad she only had taken a sip of her potion! The soft words spoken next pulled the girls attention back and she blinked a couple of times. It was really very sweet and she appreciated but it still stung a bit her eyes moving towards the Gryffindor across the room. "Maybe..." Only she didn't think that was the case. If only it were that simple though.

"Of course ma'am," she answered rising to her own feet first and holding out her hand to help Kay onto her feet slowly.

Brian was late, but he was really just not planning to come, so it really was better late then never. Right? But what had he missed? People seemed to only now be taking the potions to test, so he went up to the front, scooped himself a cupful of the emerald green potion and took a form to fill. "Good day, professors. Sorry I'm late - food called." And he was quite weak when that temptation arose.

So back to his seat it was, and filling in the pre-ingestion bit of the form. Hum dum de doo dum.

Eh, that should be it. Vivian looked over at her form and double checked the information she had placed down. It all looked good to her. She nodded to herself as a sign of approval. Well done, Fairfield.

And now it was time for the moment of truth. Vivi took one last look at the pinkish liquid. Here's to hoping it actually tasted as good as it looked. She then bolted into a chorus. "I wanna know what love issssssss! I want you to shoooooow meeee!" Despite missing that last note and creating a high-pitched choke instead, Vivian then drank the potion and then looked down on her knees. For a while, she felt like she was floating in the air. Like gravity did not seem to exist. Was this what love felt like? Kinda like that song... "Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?" She felt like the plastic bag.

The Slytherin looked up and the first person she noticed was that Hufflepuff student she didn't know.

AND OH MERLIN DID HE LOOK STUNNING.

Vivian literally jumped out of her seat and stood RIGHT IN FRONT of the older student. He was gorgeous, she thought. He was the epitome of extraordinarily magical beauty! The blonde had literal HEART EYES at him.

"I don't know about you... but YOUR EYES SEND THE STARS TO SHAME." And she snuggled comfortably in the fourth year's arms. AHHHHHH SHE WAS HOME, IN THE ARMS OF THE LOVE OF HER LIFE.

This deserved a song too. "CAAAAN YOU FEEEEL THE LOOOOOVE TOOOOONIIIIIGHT?" Giggly goo. <3

SPOILER!!: Hady! <3

As she took in her own appearance she couldn't help but grin a bit. A mirror would really do right now but she didn't believe she had one. Maybe Professor Newton had one? "Professor, do you happen to have a mirror around?" Honestly she was really curious how much she changed even if she hadn't drank much of that potion.

Her eyes moved back onto her older partner a small blush creeping up into her cheeks at the womens words. "Thank you Professor, you look really good for-for however old you're supposed to be," Hady couldn't help the small laugh that escaped her lips. Good gosh how much had she drank! Haha! Now she was even more glad she only had taken a sip of her potion! The soft words spoken next pulled the girls attention back and she blinked a couple of times. It was really very sweet and she appreciated but it still stung a bit her eyes moving towards the Gryffindor across the room. "Maybe..." Only she didn't think that was the case. If only it were that simple though.

"Of course ma'am," she answered rising to her own feet first and holding out her hand to help Kay onto her feet slowly.

A mirror! That was a fantastic idea. Kay wanted to see for herself too how she looked as an old lady. It would help her gain some insight as to what to expect. This made her think of a question for Art. "Art? Are these potion accurate? What I mean is, do they show exactly what you would look like at a particular age?'' Help an old lady out! She was quite forgetful!

It was Kay's turn to laugh, a frail one escaping her. "Thank you, dear!'' She tucked a strand of her wispy hair behind her hair with a wrinkly hand. Her reflexes were rather slow but that was to be expected. She didn't pursue the subject about Hady and Franky anymore for Hady didn't seem to want to talk much more about that particular topic. Kay patted her student's hand understandingly.

The professor took Hady's hand to heave herself to her feet but she was so weak that she sat down rather suddenly again. She peered sheepishly up at Hady. "I'm sorry about that. Perhaps both of your hands, Ms Lynch?''

Rula didn't really want to fill out the form, but she supposed it was meant to be a useful way to help them remember details about the potion they tested, so she did as best she could. A few of them she had no idea what to answer with though.

Oh well.

Okay, now that the boring part was out of the way - time to take the potion!!!

She swallowed it in one quick gulp then set the cup down and waited for the potion to...

Suddenly she was seeing the potions lab through whole new ideas. It wasn't at all dark or creepy or unappealing - it was suddenly beautiful in its own unique way. Everything was beautiful, really. You just had to open your eyes to see it!

Sorry I'm late - food called." And he was quite weak when that temptation arose.

So back to his seat it was, and filling in the pre-ingestion bit of the form. Hum dum de doo dum.

...Speaking of beautiful.

Actually, beautiful wasn't a strong enough of a word. That guy.....was stunning. Amazing. Dreamy. She was surely the luckiest girl in the ENTIRE world because she got to set eyes on him.

She siiiiighed dreamily, staring lovingly at him, though she wasn't entirely seeing him, her mind at work planning their wedding. They would have the biggest, best wedding ever, fit for a prince - no, a king - like him...

And now it was time for the moment of truth. Vivi took one last look at the pinkish liquid. Here's to hoping it actually tasted as good as it looked. She then bolted into a chorus. "I wanna know what love issssssss! I want you to shoooooow meeee!" Despite missing that last note and creating a high-pitched choke instead, Vivian then drank the potion and then looked down on her knees. For a while, she felt like she was floating in the air. Like gravity did not seem to exist. Was this what love felt like? Kinda like that song... "Do you ever feel like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?" She felt like the plastic bag.

The Slytherin looked up and the first person she noticed was that Hufflepuff student she didn't know.

AND OH MERLIN DID HE LOOK STUNNING.

Vivian literally jumped out of her seat and stood RIGHT IN FRONT of the older student. He was gorgeous, she thought. He was the epitome of extraordinarily magical beauty! The blonde had literal HEART EYES at him.

"I don't know about you... but YOUR EYES SEND THE STARS TO SHAME." And she snuggled comfortably in the fourth year's arms. AHHHHHH SHE WAS HOME, IN THE ARMS OF THE LOVE OF HER LIFE.

This deserved a song too. "CAAAAN YOU FEEEEL THE LOOOOOVE TOOOOONIIIIIGHT?" Giggly goo. <3

WAIT.

WAIT.

Who was that girl?!?! Was she trying to steal her future husband?!?!

NO.

"Hey! Stop that, little girl!" she said, marching over to the two of them. Rula didn't know what the child's name was, and she didn't care. NO ONE was allowed to steal Future-Husband-.... What was his name?

Oh well! Their love could transcend names, okay? "Leave my boyfriend alone!"

The option to choose between the two potions had been quickly disregarded by Brooklyn. Even in a controlled circumstance, which she imagined this qualified as even in the loosest way, there was no way she was taking a love potion. Honestly, she didn’t particularly care to be testing either potion, but definitely not the love potion. As it was, she was dealing with a fear that someone was going to slip her one of those one of these days, given the obvious focus certain housemates of hers had regarding the relationship between herself and a certain prefect. Not the one who was obviously still thinking he could use her to avoid Hady.

She had gone up to retrieve a cup of the ageing potion, and returned to her position near Hady before she glanced at the analysis form they’d been given. She’d glanced up as Professor Stewart mentioned working in a group, though. “So am I,” she said, turning her gaze to Hady when she’d mentioned testing the ageing potion too. That wasn’t really a surprise, given the circumstances. Plus, she knew she worked well with the other girl. It just remained to be seen if they would be allowed to work together.

Hadley was still trying to convince Rooster to dance, embarrassingly, while trying to avoid his slimy lips when the tingling hit again. She shrunk an inch, though barely noticed to be honest. Her clothes fit like they had before. It was over. Hadley Denaker was 13 again.

That lasted way too short. Why couldn't have lasted the amount of time it had when she was seven. Although that would have been permanent if not for Professor Newton. Wait...would she have been a seven year old Peter Pan never growing up? Or just started aging again from seven? Get a new letter to Hogwarts in 4 years?

If she ever wanted to redo Hogwarts all she'd have to do is take her version of the aging potion again and in four years she'd be a first year again.

Anyway, Hadley had a form to fill out. "I'm borrowing your quill." She snatched it away from Rooster without waiting for a reply and started jotting down her notes.

And she was done. Now for...Hadley hesitated with a glance at Rooster. She told herself going in she was gonna try both if she had time, and clearly she had time. But did she really want to end up like that!?

As long as it wasn't Rooster...she was willing to give it a try.

Please don't let it be Rooster.

Hadley tossed the quill unceremoniously at Rooster and wandered off to get a sample of the love potion.

Rooney wanted to dance for Miss Hadley Denaker, but was struggling to decide if his dance moves were better than his singing voice. But...what the woman of his dreams wanted...the woman of his dreams got! So as he stood on the desk, Roo gave a bit of a wiggle and tapped his feet along with the beat of his heart. Ba dum, ba dum... Ba... "SNOOKUMS!!" What was happening to her?!!?!?!!!?!?!?!?!?!

Oh. She looked like she had before. But even better... There was a little glow to her... She sparkled... Hadley Denaker...was perfect. More than perfect. The Ravenclaw was exquisite and everything that this Ravenclaw could ever want. Everything he lived for was for this girl right now, and sure...he was only fifteen, but it was okay. People did meet their soulmates this young. It WAS a thing. He just knew it.

If her physical change wasn't enough.. Rooney now had to deal with her turning her back on him and walking away. "NO!" He yelped, sprung from the table and landed on her back. And he was not going to let go ever. Not even if she loved someone else - which she wouldn't. Why would she? He was sOOOOOO devoted to her. sOOOOOOOOOOO DEVOTED.

LOVE HEARTS WOULD BE IN HIS EYES IF POSSIBLE.

"Your hair smells perfect.."

Back at her table, Esme nodded at Rat Man. "Of course. No way I'm taking love potion." Look at Rooney over there... HAHA it was actually funny. She wondered what he would think if he was aware of how he was acting. Would he remember once the effects had worn off? Interesting question, but she had other things to worry about like taking her aging potion.

Before swallowing it Esme figured that it would be a good idea to start with that form... Yes, that seemed to be the most logical way to do things as she was like to forget once feeling the effects. Studying the sample she had extracted, she began taking notes:

SPOILER!!: form

Potions Analysis Form

Colour: Emerald green
Transparency: Yes
Density: Doesn't appear to be very dense
Contents (eg. clean or floating matter..) Clean
Other defining characteristics: Smells like wine and prune juice
pH: I... don't know
Boiling point: No idea
Freezing point: No idea about this either

Was Esme missing something here? Because she had no idea how to figure out the answer for the last three things. Did she need to ask Professor Newton for help? SHE HAD NO IDEA. Meeeh. She raised her hand. "Professor, how am I supposed to know the pH, boiling point, and freezing point?" Because she was LOST.

Art was still chuckling at the partnership between Miss Denaker and Mr Bronwyn when she answered his question. "Ahh that would have been spectacular," he said. "Like re-reading your favourite book with no knowledge of the plot." He'd love to be able to do that with all of his favourite books.

Art smiled happily back to Miss Fairfield and was happy to see she was choosing the love potion. He didn't want the pink potion to feel neglected over the aging potion, after all.

Art laughed at the transformation on Professor Stewart. In a good way, of course. "Well Kay, w-welcome to the silver side of life," he said with another chuckle. "Well your eyes are the same. How are you feeling?" he asked, himself having gotten used to the aches and pains and creaks of being into the second half of a century.

"Oh hello Mr Woods, welcome!" Art said with a smile. He chuckled "I understand." He pointed to the two potions available and explained to him what they were and that he could take one to try and analyse if he wanted to. Although Art wasn't the only one to notice Mr Woods' presence into the class. He chuckled at Miss Fairfield's reaction. But she wasn't the only one. Miss Botros had also recognised the young Hufflepuff. Art was never one for drama, but THIS he was interested to watch.

Art was pulled to Miss Darcy as she asked about the analysis. "Ahh, easy one," he said, walking over to her. But he hadn't really explained the pH part very well. He got some pH sticks from the front and took them over. "Th-these are pH indicator sticks. you just stick it into the potion and wait a few seconds, th-then compare the colours to the key here," he explained. "And the other ones, you put your th-thermometer into your cauldron with some of the potion. You can get more if you want. And you heat it until it starts to b-boil and write down the t-temperature, and with the f-freezing, you just cast the Glacius spell and note the temperature when the potion freezes." He was very impressed that she was interested in the analysis side of things, and asking the questions for clarification. Was she going to be another Potioneer in the future?

OOC: hey everyone, as I said before this is a very informal thing, here for your RP experiences. I've decided to keep this thread open for the rest of the term, so you can post at your own pace and I hope you can discover some more things about your character.

For anyone else wanting to join, PLEASE DO. You can pretend you've been here, or you can post them coming late, Art won't mind.
