Hogwarts RPG Name: Birdy Sixth | While pulling out her ingredients, Birdy read and re-read the instructions on the board. After all her supplies were out, she selected her daisy roots and began cutting them into as equal, thin pieces as she could.

| After adding the daisy roots, shrivelfig and caterpillar and stirring for two minutes, she adds a little leech juice and the rat spleen. "I hope that was a dash," she says, looking down into her cauldron. She allows her potion to stew for half an hour, checking it every few minutes and stirring now and then. After the potion cools, she fills two vials, labels them and deposits them at professor Airlia's desk.

| Jenn gathered up her ingredients and quietly brewed her potion. This time she made absolute sure she had all the ingredients correctly place at the right time. Finally after half an hour of brewing the last ingredients into the potion Jenn noticed a nice green colour. Smiling she looked at Terry before reaching in her pocket and making sure no one saw her add an extra little ingredient. She watched the potion turn a darker, stronger green and grinned at her triumphant plan. |

"How did the muggle saying went? Ah, yes, 'Me and my big mouth'," Nadia said joking. She put the water in the cualdron and started the fire with Incendio when --
Ah! She watched the scene with a pained look. My dear Ganymede, why do you find yourself in troubles this easy! Nadia sighed, shaking her head and smiling both. Who could tell they both were 4th years? Enough distractions, back to the potion.
Nadia chopped the daisy roots in record time, and yet evenly, while leaving the water to heat. Luckily practices does make better and she had a good eye to make them be even enough to her view. She was nonetheless careful, mind. Quickly skinned the shrivelfig as well, but this took her some more time (she had a especial potatoe knight that she tried using and worked quite well, but again, skinning wasn't her best skill). A smile creeped to her face remembering those famous dialogues in HoM books ("Potter, you can skin Malfoy's shivelfig" - *snickers*). The caterpillar was easy to slice... though nonetheless somewhat revolting. Having a knife over a whole insect or animal, even if dead, wasn't as easy as having the part of a being or a plant. She prefered plants as ingredient, period. She could hardly see the rat spleen slin directly not contain a shudder at the idea of having to squeesh (=P) the blood juice out leech... she was happy to read Professor Airlia was giving the leech juice already preppared. Finishing with the caterpillar, which got to be lots of thin cords made of the body of the insect, she had now all the ingredients -- ah, no, wait! She had to take the rat spleen and leech blood still. Ah, she felt so lazy, she might Levitate the ingredients to her... but she restrained. Lately she wasn't trusting her pulse too much, ever since the Quidditch match. Instead, thuogh tired, she walked to the desk and grabbed one of each. "Ah, food for the vampire," she said at the leech juice. "And my homework." Looking at the second flask.
She sat back down and started. Let's see... "add daisy roots, shrivelfig, and caterpillar slices to 500 mL boiling water." All at ones it seems, she thought. She used a magical messure-object to be sure how much potion she should add or take out, and only needed half a tea cup more. Well, she was extra clumsy lately! First Herbology now this. Must be tiredness.
Once set, she added the ingredients all at onces, but maybe in order with seconds of differences: daisy roots, shivelfig and caterpillar. She then stirred randomly for 2 minutes, quite surprised the direction didn't matter to tell the truth. Better, she told herself; less chances you will mess up if you are this distracted.
"Add one rat spleen and a dash of leech juice." Well, that should be easy. she had it by her side. She waited until the 2 minutes were up and then added the rat sleen... and the dash. Well, indeed this not too strict as other potions. Nadia wondered... why did it looked like the professor were stressed and had not that much time anymore for class? "Allow the solution to stew" OK then. She indeed stirred occassionally. Paused, and stared again. When the half-an-hour was coming to an end, Nadia pondered about the homework and what did rats mean.
'Rat means death. Maybe illnesses. What did it had to do with shrinking? The shrinking of old age? Just great, she thought, my head is out of order again. Exactly now you are failing me brain - why!'
She rolled her eyes at her own thoughts.
'Man, I need to stop my melodramatism...'

Ivy realises that the water starts to boil and started to add in the already prepared ingredients.. She kindda feels guilty for her classmate to have detention.. But proceding on with her assignment, she stirred the mixture in a clockwise direction and started timing her watch for 2 mintues..
After 2 minutes, she slowly added in a rat spleen and a dash of shrivelfig into the mixture and lastly stir the mixture slowly and timed for one and half hour..
After waiting for so long, she poured some of the potion into 2 vails as instructed, labeled it and placed it on the professor's table..

Unfortunately in her haste to get to class after her visit to Professor McAiken's office, she had forgotten hers, but she had not forgotten the final ingredient for their fireworks display to celebrate Slytherin's victory at Quidditch. She hoped it would be a memorable potions class.

Nadia finished pouring the brewing on the two vials (*cough*plus her spare one*cough*). She labelled the first "Potions, Nadia Chantalona-Rey, 4th year, Slytherin." Once done she went to the professor's desk and placed one of the vials, the labelled one, there. Then starting retrateing to her seat... the hairs on the back of her heads were standing on end, she felt suddenly cold and that lump in her throat and pounding was back.... Now again, she thought, holding on one of the passing desks... She was clunching her experimentation vial in the same hand she was holding her chest.

Megan makes the potion reading the instructions over and over so she got it right.
Once she finished she put some in a vial and put a label on it saying:
megan dixon
1st year
Ravenclaw.
Then she put it on the teacher desk and returned to her seat and started to clean up all her ingrediants. thinking*I need to get another shrivelfig*.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Maximus O. Vindictus III First Year | No Touchy! ♥ demented_teacher Kay prepared her potion ingredients carefully and reviewed the brewing instructions five times before she started brewing the potion. She added the daisy roots, shrivelfig, and caterpillar slices to the boiling water in her cauldron, and stirred the ingredients for two minutes. Next, Kay added the rat spleen and a dash of leech juice to the mixture. She watched the mixture as it stewed and remembered to stir it occasionally. A half hour later, Kay finished brewing the potion and noticed that it had turned a striking dark green. Pleased with her results, Kay ladeled enough of the potion into two vials, each marked with a label that read "Kay Draconia, Ravenclaw, 4th Year." She walked up and placed one of the vials on Professor Airlia's desk. Kay returned to her desk and cleaned up her workspace and cauldron.

Serena had taken great care in preparing her ingredients and in brewing her potion which now appeared to be a rich color of green. She prepared her vials with labels and then filled them with the potion. Smiling to herself, she carried one of them to the Professor's desk and placed it with the others.

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "Very good class. Now that I believe everyone has finished brewing their potion, handed in one vial, and kept the other, it is time to move on with the experimentation part of class. Before we start, however, I'd like to go over a few more things. First, how does this potion work? Does it need to be ingested or does it work on contact?"

| Technically technical all the time Bookaholic "Yes, you are absolutely correct, Shannon. One point to Ravenclaw. So, we can assume, then, that the Shrinking Solution only works on living beings. What else do we know about how this potion works? I know we went over this a bit in the begining of class, but I'd like you to come up with your own theories. We will be testing our potion on the mice from last class. What do you think will happen to them?"

"I remember a story about Professor Snape using this on Neville Longbottom's frog, and he just placed a drop of the solution on it, and it turned into a tadpole! Or was that the deflating draft?!" said Serena raising her hand.
"I assume the mice will turn into little baby mice, or at least smaller in size."

"I think they'll reduce to a lower age which will depend on how much potion they are given."

Nadia sat down, leant on the wall by her side and continued to listen to the class. Quote:

We will be testing our potion on the mice from last class. What do you think will happen to them?" I don't think they will become babies but a smaller version of themselves. Say, if they are 6 inches long and 4 wide, depending on the quantity of course, it will change, for example, to 3 inches long and 2 wide... or 1,50 inches long & 1 wide... and so on.
I must confess I thought the potion would work in object too, pouring the brewing on them. Like the "shrinking keys" wizards buy to bother and mock muggles, I thought it was related... but I'm guessing it is the shrinking spell, this particular case. That makes the two, the potion and the spell, being different. But you are right, Professor Snape -" *here she stole a look at Airlia's tranparent face* "did feed a frog with it and it became a "younger"... but I dare say that was the interpretation made by Harry Potter and not the real effect. The potion, by the definition of it, shouldn't make you younger."

Gary is rather jittery, as he's not sure he mixed the shrinking solution correctly...it seemed all right when he compared his to other potions around him, but still, you never know...
Figuring that he'll never remember any of this stuff,as potions aren't exactly his strong point, he takes as many notes as possible. He'll definitely have to pay more attention in this class.

Mrs. Weasley walks up to the front of the class carrying her two vials of potion. She then has a head on collision with Nadia spilling both vial on her. Mrs. Weasley watches in horror as the girl transforms from a 15 year old student to a crying new born. "Professor Airlia, I believe serenasnape is correct. The potion does shrink a living being by reducing it in age," Mrs. Weasley says with an embarassed look on her face. About that time Hubert comes over and picks the infant Nadia off the floor. "You do have the antidote brewed; don't you, Professor?"

Jaren's eyes widen at this unusual (well, not really, considering this is potions class) turn of events, but his expression snaps back to normal in a second. He turned back to the Professor, wondering what she would do next. His only hope is that he does not have to try his potion on himself.

ooc: Uh... Mrs Weasley... the potion must be ingested, not trown over the, err, victim. If you want to play a prank on me make it believeable at least
In those seconds before the potions soaqued her, Nadia's eyes popped up at the sight of Mrs Weasley, and her expression changed from that of surprise to blank, even saddened and tired, eyes. Her face lacked of emotions if not looked looked closely enough. Some of the potion had gotten on her face and -maybe sniffed?- she slowly felt herself shrink. She thought she was going to cry, in those seconds where the transformation was taking place, but in the contrary, by the time she was a baby (ooc: am I?), everything had gone black. She had passed out.

ooc: Don't worry about it, Nadia, nice improvisation there to make it fit. Professor Airlia "jumped" up and Hubert immediately raced to the infant Nadia. After placing her on the desk, Hubert administered the antidote and the Nadia was back to normal. Professor Airlia sighed in relief. "Are you okay, dear? Perhaps you should go see the nurse, just in case," she said to Nadia before addressing Mrs. Weasley. "I must say I'm quite surprised; you are usually one of the most careful students in my class. Please do try to exercise a bit more caution when carrying your potions."

Nadia found herself sitting on the professor's desk moment later. Some way, between the shaking, she had woken. She heard the professor said something about the nurse and Nadia did gesture to say 'no' with her face still blank. When she heard the name of Mrs Weasley, however, she turned sharply around and glared at Terry,
"I don't think it was an accident at all," she said fiercely, jumping to the floor at once. "Aren't you curious, professor, that it could get this powerful? Fireseed, I pressume. Pity, I thought you were my friend, Weasley. But I see you are no different from the others. 'Should have known - Excuse me professor -"
Without saying anything else, she started towards doors, trying to hide teary eyes and out to the girls toilet. (ooc: I'm being such a dramma queen lately... will make sense eventually =P)
