| | Study Hall  In close proximity to the library lies the study hall. Whether you are a first year or a seventh year, a Gryffindor or a Slytherin, a boy or a girl, this room is the best place to go for your studying and homework completion needs. If you ever find yourself stuck on something or have no clue what you're doing, you can always ask those who you are studying with for help or the professor that is overseeing the study session.
Scattered around the room are groups of desks that make it perfect for you and your friends to collaboratively work together. Average-sized oil lamps have been strategically placed on the desks to create a calm, comfortable environment. In a neat pile in the centre of the desks are extra quills, bottles of ink, and spare parchment should you need it -- just remember to leave the quills and ink at the table and only use what you need for parchment. Under the windows a long bookshelf containing a copy of textbooks for each class can be found, which you are welcome to use during your time in this room.  |

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Jude visibly winced. Two much of THAT potion can wreck one’s liver. Got it. That was one bit for sure that would stick with him forever. Not that he planned on using the potion but one never knew what was in store for the future. Pushing away the vivid images he had of splattered human liver, Jude smiled in appreciation at Hernandez’s comment about the question being good.
The Deflating Draught… this was an easy one. Since he hadn’t exactly answered the first question but had rather asked one of his own, the Hufflepuff raised his hand. “The Swelling Solution, I believe. Professor, can the Deflating Draught accidentally shrink an object past its usual size?” |

| Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent Karleigh often attended regular study sessions with her cousins who consisted of seventh and fifth years, so they all had really important big exams coming up. But she didn't think it would hurt to attend this study session too, especially if they might be getting extra help in potions which wasn't exactly her best subject.
Maybe they wouldn't get any practical practice today since they were in the library, but theory was even tougher for her, especially in potions, so this was probably a good idea, even if she'd rather be doing something else. She had already taken her seat and pulled out her notes and book when the professor asked about the Girding Potion.
She was familiar with that one of course, but she really didn't have anything else to add after her classmates. And she didn't want to be redundant. So instead, she tried to list the ingredients and steps in her notebook by memory. That was likely something she'd have to memorize anyway, so... One pair of fairy wings, heat until it turns purple.
Oh, had they moved onto another potion? Karleigh looked up as the professor asked about antidotes. Maybe this was more of a rapid fire study session, which... could be beneficial too. But that was not her preferred method, especially as she was already focusing on one thing. Well... maybe she could do both. But Jude had answered that question and she did not feel the need to elaborate, so... One spoonful of doxy eggs, heat until it turns pink.
Maybe she'd get the next one while she continued to try to recall this potion from memory.

Since he hadn’t exactly answered the first question but had rather asked one of his own, the Hufflepuff raised his hand. “The Swelling Solution, I believe. Professor, can the Deflating Draught accidentally shrink an object past its usual size?” "If there is extra volume to be absorbed, yes," Javier nodded in response to Jude's question. "For example, if you used it on an orange, it would shrivel up a bit and absorb the water. If you tried it on a rock, however, there really isn't anything to DEFLATE, does that make sense?" he explained with smile. "Alright everyone, I've done a few of the basics - now what questions do you have for ME? Is there something you just can't seem to wrap your head around no matter how many times you read it over?" he asked. His eyes scanned all the students gathered around, especially the ones who had been rather quiet...

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Jude hoped Hernandes didn’t mind his questions. The responses would come in handy both for himself and Reagan. He thought of the man’s words, tilting his head to the left as he did so. Slowly, Jude nodded. “I think I got it, professor. Thanks.” Then notes were scribbled into his sister’s book.
Er… should he ask more questions? The Hufflepuff glanced guilty around at the fifth years. They didn’t think of him as hogging the spotlight of this study session, right? Because he was sure he was going to find another question to ask. Jude ducked his head back in the book, flipping through Reagan’s previous notes which were made in her neat handwriting. There was a bit on Everlasting Elixirs and he noted that Reagan had jotted a question but there seemed to be no answer next to it. Jude stuck his right hand up and waited to be called on. “Everlasting Elixirs… do they really last forever or only as long as the brewer is alive?” Quite a few witches and wizards live longer than natural so in that case, it would seem as though they were living ‘forever’. In his head this seemed to be the case, anyway. |

Evan hadn't had much to offer on everyone's answer to Professor Hernandez's questions, so he stayed quiet while he scanned over his notes for each mentioned potion to make sure he had all the information noted, including notes from Jude's helpful clarifying questions. And then the floor was being opened for them to ask questions, and while Evan knew there was a plethora throughout his study book he found himself coming back to his curiosity on Gregory the Smarmy's potion. Would the Unctuous Unction appear on the OWLs? "Professor, for the Unctuous Unction, is there a specific smell for each recipient similar to the amortentia?"

"Everlasting truly means everlasting - so no, the affect doesn't wear off even if the brewer passes away," Javier replied in response to Jude's question. "It'll remain effective until it's consumed or until the potion itself is altered - for example, you could dilute an everlasting elixir to the point of it being no good, but time itself will not cause it to go bad."

"Good question Mister Nam," Javier said with a smile. "No, the potion does not have a specific smell, it just works based off who made it and who is receiving it," he explained. Everyone had come with a lot of good questions, and now he had to report back for another class, which meant this study session was about to wrap up. "Ok everyone! I think that's all the time we have for now. Remember, you can come ask me any questions at any time during my office hours, and I'll hold more of these sessions as we get closer to the end of term," he added.
With that he started to pack up, waiting until everyone else was grabbing their things and heading out before he followed suit.

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Okay, that made sense. The Hufflepuff nodded then quickly jotted down the notes next to Reagan’s question. Now his sister had the answer to her question and she could thank him by letting them have a bit of dance practice as soon as she was up for it. After writing all he needed to, he began flipping through the other pages to see if there were any other unanswered questions.
However, Jude’s face jerked in Evan’s direction upon hearing his friend’s question. The Hufflepuff had COMPLETELY forgotten about that one in particular! Of course he hadn’t forgotten his and Evan’s conversation on that particular topic. He shot the other guy a grin of appreciation for asking the question then turned to Hernandez for the response.
So THAT’S how the Unction worked. Now he and Evan had their answer. Since they were being dismissed, he began gathering up his belongings. “Thanks for taking the time to answer our questions today, Professor.” BOOK CLUB POST: Okay.
So there were a few Halls in Hogwarts and Aria hadn't exactly been sure which Hall the clue referred to. She eliminated the Great Hall because obviously water is supposed to be there. A quick hunt of the Entrance Hall also had her eliminating the place. Her next stop then? The Study Hall. Would she find a book floating around there? Because it was definitely NOT a place where water should be.
Ms. McLeod stepped eagerly through the door, pausing with her fists on her hips to stare around. Alright, book! Whereee were you? It didn’t take her long to find it, actually. Come on… a floating book? That would be kind of hard to miss. “Got you!’’ Happily, the Slytherin bounded over to the book. “Say ‘cheese’, yeah?” Naturally, she was joking. Putting the camera in selfie position, she clicked the photo. It was printed shortly and showed her jabbing a thumb over her shoulder at the book behind her. On her pretty face was that thousand-sun smile.
Three clues of three! How THRILLING!

The Love Potion was the book in the study hall, but when the flash went off a yellow envelope appeared.

Aria had immediately known that she needed to head back to the study hall. She skipped back up to the right floor, down the corridor until she reached the hall. Only now did she hone in her energy for she needed to be quiet lest she disturbed anyone.
Holding the camera against her chest, the Slytherin stalked through the hall, her eyes peeled for that book. It could be anywhere, not just near or on the bookshelf.
But WHERE exactly? |

The book seemed to be floating with excitement or maybe it was just charmed to float as the student came back into find it again. The Love Potion could be found in the corner seeming to dance around just waiting for it's picture.

| ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes. Uh huh.
Aria spotted the book. Again, she should say. This time, the correct clue was bound to be revealed for she was sure that this time she wasn't in the wrong spot. "Okay, book! Show me some Love there, will you? Brace yourself for an epic picture!" Ms. McLeod positioned herself before the book in the air, made a peace sign with her free hand then pressed the button on the camera.
Pretty soon, there was another picture to join her collection.
This was one of the best scavenger hunts ever! |

Violet walked without a sound through the study hall--she'd learned years ago to pass unnoticed in a room when she wanted to--and looked for what she hoped was the last book (this hunt was all very well, but she'd rather be sitting and reading books, not wandering all over the castle taking pictures of them. Ah, there it was, in the clutches of her fellow House member, who annoyingly seemed to always be just a step ahead of Violet in this hunt. Oh well, it wasn't a race, after all.
Violet waited till the book was free again and grabbed the book for her own picture, but was arrested for a few minutes by the title--Love Potions, eh? She flipped through it with interest, glad to see that it focused on the making of them and not silly romantic stuff. Violet would like to try her hand at one of these some time, but she didn't really know anyone she particularly wanted to fall in love with her. She'd have to test it on someone else. She was just pondering whether it would be better to do this with or without that someone' permission when she remembered she was supposed to be taking a "selfie" (she winced inwardly at the silly name) and so proceeded to do so.
