Student Potion Labs

Looking around her while entering the practice room she noticed that the professor wasn’t there, what wasn’t surprising her, she had left the common room earlier so that she could have some time before she would actually start practicing making potions. Taking Vlam out of her pocked she placed the smaller animal on her shoulder and walked through the room to prepare everything so that she was ready to start when the professor would arrive. The second year old normally wasn’t that interested into doing some extra schoolwork but this year she had decided to make a few exceptions because… She absolutely DIDN’T wanted to leave Hogwarts after graduating and ending up with a muggle job anyway! No way! She wanted to become really GOOD in something and she had decided that she wanted become a potion master after some thinking. And… To be honest, some of the potions she wanted to make were really difficult to make so… A little more practice wasn’t a bad thing! Taking a paper out of her other pocked she looked down at the potions she had found and, wanted to make some time! • Babbling Beverage • Baruffio's Brain Elixir • Befuddlement Draught • Exploding Potion • Felix Felicis “Felix Felicis” muttered Leesha softly to herself and she even smiled while thinking about all the things she could do with such a potion! Shaking her head she dropped the paper down on the table next her cauldron and opened her textbook to search for the potions she liked to practice sometime. She wasn’t sure if the professor had prepared a potion for today to practice so she herself had decided to look for a few cool potions to make too! |
Art headed out of his office, after writing some letters home, towards the Potion Lab reserved for students. He had with him a manilla folder labelled "Leesha Griffel" which was his little archive of things they had done, or would be doing together, regarding Potions. He'd absolutely hate to waste time in backtracking, figuring out what they had done etc. when he could put it in one place to begin with. "Ahh, you're here early Miss Griffel," he said. "Wonderful! Er... how has your day been?" Madame Curie was in his pocket and HAD been sleeping, but the movement indicated that she was awake. Perhaps she could sense her old friend, Vlam. He pulled Madame Curie out of his pocket and put her on one of the desks, along with a little square of cheese that had been in the pocket too. "Do you want to put Vlam there with Madame Curie? I'm sure she misses her friend." The cheese was there for her to share with Vlam, of course. "Now... what potion would you like to get-uhh s-started on?" He was there to help, so whichever potion she suggested (as long as it wasn't an off limits one) would be good to go. |
Looking up from the textbook when she heard somebody walking she nodded respectfully toward professor Newton. "Hello professor!" She smiled while she looked up at the adult. But when he asked her how her day had been her eyes darkened, "well... My day has been good beside the Divination lesson, I really can't believe that such a fake lesson is allowed at a school like this one, even Muggles know that it's fake", sighed Leesha, thinking back at the horrible lesson she had needed to endure today. "But how are you doing professor?" She asked in return, wondering what a adult could do in a school like this beside looking at the student's homework what, if you were asking it her, was really boring and she found it hard to believe that the teachers were doing so much work all the time... "Oh, hello Madame Curie! Smiling down at the rat she removed Vlam from her shoulder and placed the small animal on the table next the other animal. Seeing how her rat walked over toward his friend she smiled again, happy that her rat still remembered his friend after the holiday. "Ehm... I was interested in this potion;" she said and showed the professor the page in the textbook before her, crossing her fingers under the table so that the professor wouldn't ask questions about why she wanted such a potion. "It's the Hair-changing Potion: mild formulation" she told the professor brightly. |
Ahh, Art hadn't known Miss Griffel wasn't very keen on Divination. He hadn't been either. He smiled, trying not to laugh, because Laurel was a colleague and he thought of her as a talented Seer. "Now... what happened in Divination?" he asked, putting the folder down on the desk. "I'm doing well. Very well, thank you. I've been outside, and I've done some paperwork and uhh... well, that's taken up my day so far." Art smiled down at the little rat friends, and was actually quite happy she had brought Vlam with her. Madame Curie was obviously happy about it too. Art leaned down to read the page and nodded. "Oh yes... yes we can give that a go if you like." Art had all of the ingredients in the store room, as well. |
Making a face at the professor she shook her head, “what happened? Well.. Being forced to follow a lesson what isn’t even worth following, that is what is wrong about it” she said annoyed and again she shook her head. “I can’t even believe that wizards are believing in those things because it’s obvious that it cannot be true!” Folding her arms now she felt irritated again, just like she had been during the lesson. “And besides, nothing really happened so now I wonder what can be the use of following such a lesson…” Falling silent because she remembered to who she was talking. “Paperwork?” Making a face at that she wondered again why anyone wanted to become a teacher and to spend hours and hours by looking at the homework from all the students. It was certainly not something SHE wanted to do! “Well… It is better than Divination” she eventually said. “Oh, so I can make it?” She asked brightly, also feeling REALLY relieved that the professor had not asked why she had chosen this potion because there wasn’t going to be a good answer to that question, not one she could answer honestly at last… “Alright, so I can start with it and now and… Let’s hope that it isn’t going to turn into brown or pink while it isn’t supposed to have that color” she muttered while thinking back at the fiasco’s she had made during her first year. |
bff <3 The first thing Olly noticed upon entering the potions lab was that he had arrived before Noelle. Actually that was not all that surprising, considering he lived in the dungeons and did not have to walk very far to get there. But he was sure she would be there soon because she was responsible and seldom late to things, especially plans to hang out with him. He still considered this to be hanging out even if it was in the potions lab and it was for educational purposes. But practicing potions was much better than just studying the theory of them. Olly pulled out his book as he waited and studied a list of potions. The options were endless. They'd probably wanted to make something fairly advanced but not too hard. Something at OWL level. Maybe he should have thought more about it before he arrived. Maybe Noelle had some good ideas. And if not he was sure they would think of something. |
Olly bug!! Going from the Gryffindor tower to the dungeons was tiring. Going from the Gryffindor tower to the dungeons twice was even more tiring. Noelle had left her potions book in her dorm and only realized it once she had been almost to the dungeons. She booked it back up the 7 flight of stairs and back down again. So, when Noelle entered the dungeons, she was a little out of breath. She put her book on the counter and huffed. "Those stairs..... are..... no joke." Seriously. Breathe After her breath was caught, she wasted no time in hugging Olly hello. Their usual greeting. "How long have you been here?" |
Quote:
"Hogwarts should invest in some elevators," he agreed. "Or escalators even. Why should muggles have better means of transport when we wizards are stuck with stairs?" Did he mention that he hated the stairs? They were in this together. He would complain about them until the day he died. And then he would come back as a ghost just to complain about the stairs some more. Except ghosts didn't need to use stairs so that would be pretty cool. Right. Potions. "I haven't been here long." At least...he didn't think so. He'd kind of lost track of exactly how long he had been sitting there but he didn't think it had been very long. "I was just looking at this list and thinking about what we should make. Any ideas? Any specific potion you want to work on?" |

He chuckled at the look on her face. "Yes, lots of paperwork. I'm always doing paperwork, but I'm very used to it by now." Being a long-time student, a muggle, and now wizarding teacher, and a potioneer all required paperwork. "You absolutely can," he agreed with a smile. "Well I can help if you like. I'll tell you the little details that make the potion what it is. First step, of course, is clean!" If things weren't clean, then the brewer would be bound to make a ruined potion. |
SPOILER!!: the bff! Why was it that the Ministry had an elevator but Hogwarts didnt?? Noelle seriously needed to write a letter to somoene. .... Or convince someone to build an elevator. It was a wonder how students didnt get hurt on those moving staircases. Noelle had been almost hurt once or twice.... but luckily, had looked up just in time. She was glad that Olly knew her pain. "Im going to talk to someone about them" BUt ahem.... potions. Noelle had become more confident in potion making thanks to Professor Newton aka Newt, Noah, and Olly himself. Noah had a natural ability to do potions. Olly and NOelle just practised it alot. Noelle needed to do well in Potions to do the Animagus trainging. There was an advanced potion that was to be made. Noelle couldnt wait to learn more about it. "I actually have a few that Ive been wanting to try.. and practice more." Noelle said while passing over the parchment of the potions to Olly. She'd come prepared. SPOILER!!: Parchment of Spells "Most are just ones that Ive seen and wanted to try. The aging and de-aging ones seem cool." It would be funny for them to make it and then walk into the Great Hall for dinner older. Would they be recognizable? |
SPOILER!!: Noelle! Olly trusted Noelle. She could get stuff done. Especially now that she was a prefect she should have the jurisdiction to give Hogwarts elevators. Or maybe that's not what prefects did. If it was they probably would have done it before. She would at least be able to talk to someone if she wanted to, though. Noelle would definitely be a better choice than Olly. Except they weren't here to complain about stairs, they were here to do potions. Olly peered at the list that Noelle passed to him. He'd definitely heard of the last two. Hadn't they made the deaging one in class once? Or was it the aging one? He couldn't really remember. The glowing one sounded funny but not very useless? When would that ever really be used? Olly didn't really have a preference but it sounded like Noelle wanted to do the aging one. "We can do the aging one. That sounds pretty cool." |
Olly Olly didnt seem as thrilled to d the potion as Noelle was. This had to change. If they were going to do a potion, they were going to DO A POTION. They were going to make that potion, be proud of it, and happy that they did it. They were going to be excited that they did do it. "kay, scratch the aging potion. I have a few more." Noelle said pulling out another parchment and handing it over to him. " I think you might like these a tad bit more." She said with a grin. Again, she wanted him to be as excited as her. SPOILER!!: parchment "I think these you'll like even more. The last one especially." Especially since DADA class, they both needed help with concentration to do spells. |
Art had to get another batch of Standard Ingredient ready, and he carried the stock down to the Student Labs where he most enjoyed working when he wasn't holding a lesson. The room was already occupied when he walked in, though, and he put his ingredients on the desk next to Miss Summers and Mr Thomas-Borzekowski. The jars were in a cupboard, and he went about collecting a few of them. "Hello," he said to the two young students. Senior students, but very young compared to him, of course. "What are you two brewing down here?" he asked, out of curiosity. Seeing students using the student labs always made him happy. |

Noelle's green eyes shot up and she smiled at Professor Newt, as she liked to call him, as he entered the room. "We are trying to decide. We have a few potions to choose from. Which one would you recommend?" Noelle asked as she moved the two pieces of parchment in front of her around to the end of the table so that when Newt was done looking grabbing jars, he could take a look at what they had planned. OOC: The last two replies that Noelle did have the potions on there if you want to take a look ^-^ |

"Night vision?!" That sounded awesome. And reading your pets mind? He pointed at that one. "This would be a cool one to have at home when I'm with Henry." Not super useful when he was at school though. He got to the last one on the list just as Noelle mentioned it. "Not as exciting as the others but I agree, it is very useful." Merlin knew Olly needed all the help he could get when it came to concentration. "Your pick." Olly was glancing back up at Noelle as Professor Steward entered the lab and came over to them. Olly smiled at the professor as Noelle did the talking. "Just curious professor, what's the school's stance on a concentration potion before an exam?" It wouldn't help with being any better at the subject so he didn't think it would be considered cheating. It just helped concentrate so he wouldn't get so distracted. Olly figured it would be good to ask and the answer might be useful in the future. |
Art headed towards the desk to see what potions they were thinking of brewing. He recognised three of them as ones he had taught in previous years, but the first one was one he hadn't taught. "Oh, that one... night vision. Hmm..." he read through the list of ingredients and knew that all except one of them was in his store room. "Well.. we don't keep carrots down here, but I can get you some from the kitchen." Perhaps it was something he should look into adding to the supplies? Mr Thomas-Borzekowski's question about the concentration concoction was a very smart one, and every time he was asked the question he felt very glad that the students were questioning things like this. "It's fine, you see... b-because it doesn't actually help anything except concentration. You need to have the knowledge to apply it, but it takes away a lot of those examnerves." |
Sorry i'm late, i was REAAALY busy >_< Quote:
Making a face at what the professor said next she shook her head, “one thing I know for sure, I’m not going to be a teacher myself, too much work if you’re asking it me” she said without thinking and she shrugged. And besides, she wasn’t patient enough to work with irritating students and to… Just teach… Nodding, happy that she could start with working now she pulled out her wand and pointed it at the cauldron she had prepared and pointed her want at the object; “Scourgify” she said while making a S shaped movement with her wand, something she already had learned during her first year. “Done!” She said satisfied and she glanced down at her book to see if really could start right now! |

Also, that question that Olly had about using the concentration potion before exams was smart. She was a proud best friend at the moment.. Even more happy when they could use it. Exams were nerve wracking so anything that kept her concentration in order was something that she wanted to use. "We might have to make sure we can do this concentration potion perfect by the time exams come around." Noelle told Olly. Okay so maybe not might but definitely. "But... to be honest, I kinda wanna do the night vision one first?" A break from the mundane. To do something fun. |
It was a useful answer about the concentration potion, and the one Olly had hoped to received. His lack of ability to concentrate was one of his biggest flaws, and this potion was definitely something that would be useful come exam time, especially high-stakes exams like OWLs. He was about to say something, but Noelle practically took the words out of his mouth. He grinned at her. "That's exactly what I was thinking." It would be good potion making practice and have useful applications. "That sounds cool. Night vision it is." That would certainly have some interesting applications as well, and Olly wondered if Noelle had any particular plans for that. He decided not to ask in front of the professor but made a mental note to discuss it with her later. In the meantime, it was time to gather the necessary ingredients. It looked fairly simple. Water, carrots, knotgrass, bats blood, and elder tree sap. He remembered what Professor Stewart had said about the carrots. "You don't have to do that, professor. I can go get them." He turned to Noelle. "Want to grab the rest of the ingredients while I run up and get carrots?" |
Olly and the Professor ^_^ Olly and her would have to do the concentration potion to help them with the OWLs this year...... Shudder It was OWL year.... Noelle was not looking forward to it. Noelle put the other parchment paper with some potions that she wanted to try back in her book while they made the decision to do the night vision potion. This was perfect. Noelle did in deed have some plans for it. This would be a test batch and if it worked properly, She would be making it more for another... side project. "Yeah. Of course. Grab me an apple while you're there?" An apple a day keeps the healers away! "Please!" She added with a bright smile as she went to the potion cabinet to grab knotgrass, bats blood, and elder tree sap. She'd use the water from her wand. |
Candy Grams for Leesha and Oliver! Quote:

Art watched Miss Griffel perform the scouring charm, which she did well. "Excellent," he said, once she was finished. "Now, what's next on the list to do?" he asked. Quote:
