Potions Lesson Two {NEWTs}

[makenzie]

The potions classroom was a complete wreck but it came as no surprise to Makenzie who had expected such results from her Owl level class that had just concluded. The Owl level students had been given the difficult task of making the draught of peace. It was a very difficult potion to master and many were working with it for their first time. Even with Professor Liason going through it step by step couldn't prevent the many mishaps that happened. She was just glad that there had been no serious injuries today. Professor Liason withdrew her eleven inched wand and began waving it in all types of directions, directing each type of mess to go about their own way. She had a class to get ready for, her Newt level students would be arriving shortly. She was excited to teach this lesson it honestly was one of her favorites.

Within a matter of minutes the class was tidied up with the supplies out for today's lesson. Once again she charmed the chalk to write the following on the board.

Welcome to Potions Class
Today's Lesson: Amortentia
Ingredients Needed:
Frozen Ashwinder Eggs
Belladonna Leaves
Lion Fish Spine
Lovage
Fairy Wings
Pomegranate Juice

((OCC: Your student is late if you post after the second time I post in this thread which will result in your character losing five house points. If your character does not show up then they will be losing ten house points and receive a detention. Have some fun with this thread, Potions is a good way to be creative. Remember your character is not a potions genius so please keep in mind most of you should not be able to create this potion correctly.))

Alaya walked down to the dungeons for potions class. It was not her favorite class but she was determined to complete her N.E.W.T.'s and this class was important. She walked into the classroom and bowed her head slightly towards the professor. She did like the feel of the room though. The smalls from the different ingredients was kind of nice. Alaya then took her usual seat near the wall. She took out her book and a note pad. Looking up at the board she started to write down the lesson and ingredients needed.

She knew that the information was in the book but she always found it easier to remember when she wrote it down. That way she could make her own little side notes on easier ways of making the potion. She put her quill down and waited for the rest of the class to arrive and for the professor to give the next set of instruction. At least the potion for the day was interesting. It was one of those that would be interesting to use at a later date.

[blythe]

One of the few classes Blythe actually enjoyed going to was Potions. Not because she actually liked the class at all, all they did was mix stuff together and see what came of it. No, the part she liked was the chance that someone would screw up was very high, and that was always entertaining. She liked to laugh at other’s misfortunes; it amused her to see people sabotage themselves without her help. With potions, it was just waiting to happen. Coupling stupid people with dangerous things always made for a good laugh for Blythe. Usually she left the class feeling better than when she entered. She only really found one downside to the class, besides the generic ones that applied to all classes like actual class and homework, was that it was habitually done in pairs, and Blythe had never played well with other children that weren’t her kind.

She was very surprised to see that she was one of the first students to arrive, something that never happened to her. She always prolonged her way to class as much as possible, not wanting to actually get to class to attend it. The least amount of time spent in class the better. She shrugged and took an empty seat farthest in back to she could have a good view of everyone in the room. Unhurriedly, she set her things down and gracefully sat down, not speaking one word to the teacher or other student in the class, and merely reached into her bag and took out a bottle of nail polish, and set herself to painting her nails the non-magical way. After all, she seemed to have ample time to kill.

[SCORPIUS HYPERION MALFOY]

Potions, his favourite subject, his best subject and he appealed even more since they got the young attractive professor. He ran to his dorms, threw his morning class books on his bed before searching for his potions book. Where was the damn thing, Albus had better not have taken it without tell him. He stopped and stared at his bed, no Al wouldn’t do such a thing, maybe someone in the dorm hid it. Damn it he cursed as he got on his hand and knees to look under the bed. Oh, he thought to himself. The book was lying underneath it, it must have dropped without him realising it. Grabbing it, he stood. Fixing his clothes and running a hand through his unruly blonde hair, he turned sharply and was out of the dorms and common room before anyone could blink.

He didn’t want to be late, he prayed to Merlin that the professor hadn’t started yet and when he rushed into the room he found it nearly empty. Well at least he wasn’t late. Alaya and Blythe were already there and that was about it. He took a deep breath, trying to regain his breath before he moved into the classroom, not really bothering to stand next to either of the girls, although he did nod to Alaya in acknowledgement.

[RAYCHEL MAE ENTWHISTLE]

She liked potions; it was one of her favourite subjects, along with astronomy. Actually she preferred astronomy over potions, but gazing at stars wasn’t going to get her her dream job. No, mixing potions and casting charms was. Oh how she desperately wanted to become a healer and help those that were like her twin. She hoped that she could find a cure of sorts to prevent people from dying from cancer. But it was her own sister that gave her her love for the stars. Sighing she walked casually towards her class, clutching her books to her chest as she looked around. This was her last year; she was sure going to miss this place.

Heading down to the dungeons where the potions classes were always held, the coolness of the place wasn’t as startling as what she had found it way back in her first year, in fact she found it comforting and soothing as she made her way to the class. There weren’t many people there yet, which was a surprise. She thought potions class was meant to be a popular one. Maybe she was just early; she hadn’t exactly taken note of the time.
"Good morning professor Liason," she greeted the professor before she glanced around at the other students in the room. She was the only Ravenclaw at the moment, how strange, usually Ravenclaw were the first to arrive to any class, oh well she thought, she just hoped that none were late to have to have points docked from their house.

[shailene]

Shailene despised the feeling of running late but today she was experiencing it. She shoved her books in her bag as well as any other material she figured she might need for the lesson in potions today. Quickly she finger combed her hair and off to the Potions classroom she was. Thankfully the Hufflepuff common room was stationed in the dungeons so her class was not far from where she was. She swung her polka dotted bag onto her shoulders and rushed out of the common room muttering apologies to anyone she thought she might of bumped into.

Normally the Hufflepuff was never late but for some reason she had grown so distracted so lost all track of time. She had a few minutes to get to class and she was determined to make it. Rounding the last corner she hurried down the corridor and into to the class. "Whew, I made it. " She said to herself, as she quickly found an open table. She was the only one from her house to arrive and she didn't know much about the other students around her she an empty table was best. "Hello Professor Liason." She said cheerfully. Shailene loved potions class and she was excited to learn about the well known love potion.

[makenzie]

As the bell rang throughout the school notifying professors and students alike that class would be starting Professor Makenzie marked the names that were late to class and would be having five point each deducted from their house. Hopefully they would arrive soon as to not have another five points taken for not showing up. She placed her quill down next to the parchment with all her students' names on it and walked around to the front of her desk.

"Good morning class." She said, smiling at all of her students. "I'm sure you have noticed that today's lesson will be spent on learning to make the very famous Amortentia potion. I'm sure many of you will be quite pleased to learn this potion, especially the females. Makenzie said to her students. "But this potion is not to be trifled with. It is a serious potion that can have dangerous affects and should not just be thought of a silly love potion." Makenzie took on a more stern tone with her students so they would understand the seriousness of Amortentia.

"Now, for a few extra house points who can tell me a little about Amortentia." She asked.

[vasilisa]

The halls were becoming less crowded by the minute as each student seemed to be in such a hurry to get to class. They were rushing in all directions but none of them dared to hit Vasilisa as she strolled through the hall in the dungeons. Vasilisa was headed to Potions class, which she knew she was late for since the bell had just rung but it didn't bother her any. It seemed silly that a Slytherin student would be late to a potion class considering that it was right by their common room but Vasilisa had felt the need to take her time. She would rush for no one and would arrive whenever she felt like it.

Vasilisa strolled into the classroom as Professor Liason was speaking about the love potion. The professor gave her a stern look and Vasilisa just smirked. "Yeah, yeah I know. Five points from Slytherin." Vasilisa said waving her hand as if dismissing the topic. She didn't care that she had lost five house points, it wouldn't really matter they were lucky she showed up to class at all.

Vasilisa picked a seat in the back, setting her materials up as she wondered how many boys would be running around the school in the next week talking about their newly found loves.

[ethan]

Being late seemed to be a trend of Ethan Frost's. For every class, whether he enjoyed it or not, he was always late. Perhaps it was his inner clock that always told him that it wasn't time to arrive. Maybe it was his conscious telling him to always make an entrance somehow. Being a student who was late usually did a get a bit of attention and he now wondered if that was the reason as to why he was consistently tardy. With a simple shrug he continued on down the corridor that lead to the Potions classroom, he trailed in after a very attractive girl, whose name was Vasilisa. But that was not of importance.

Ethan gave a little smirk at her comment toward the professor and knew the same was going to happen to him but he didn't voice it allowed just in case he happened to go unnoticed. But his luck would prove that he hadn't. Ethan claimed a seat in the back with his fellow tardy slytherin. At least it would be quiet around here and he wouldn't have to worry about some girl slipping him the love potion during class.

[riley]

If there was one class that Riley had to pick to be her favorite class, it was a tie between Potions and Transfiguration, but Potions was at the top more. It was one class that she felt she could never be late for and today, was the day, she thought she was late for class. She hurried to get into her school robes, grabbed her backpack and rushed out the Slytherin common room and down the way towards the Potions classroom.

She opened the door and walked in hoping she would not be late but just right on time. She took her usual spot towards the back of the classroom, as she did with all her classes. She always thought the front was reserved for know-it-alls and those who the professor wanted to keep an eye on. Now Riley got decent grades and Potions was one of her top grades, but the secret she had, and that was she tended to procrastinate on her homework but was always able to get it in on time.

As she sat down, she took out her Potions book, paper and her quill and started to write down the igredients for the potion they would be making, Amorentia, the most powerful love potion. She looked over at Ethan and smiled towards him as she sat down and got to work. She had to admit, he was very good looking and sort of a bad boy look to him, and he was in Slytherin. Then there was Vasilisa, whom Riley was sitting next to. She was pretty cool herself in Riley's perspective and she hoped that Vasilisa hoped the same thing abotu Riley.

[rose]

Somehow luck just didn’t seem to be on her side. Although she had started for her next lesson with enough time to spare she had realized she had left her book back up in the dorms and had to go back to the Gryffindor tower to fetch it. Unfortunately for Rose potions was in the dungeons and just as she was leaving the tower she heard the bell ring throughout the castle. Shoving the book into her bag she rushed through the corridors and hallways passing a few students like her who were also late for their next classes. At least the hallways were empty and she didn’t bump into anyone in her rush. That would have held her up even more. And sometimes if you bumped into the wrong person you didn’t make it to class at all, a visit to the hospital wing instead was in order.

Rose knew as she entered the classroom she was very late as the lesson had already started and the professor was already speaking of the love potion they were to attempt to brew. She hesitated a moment trying to decide if she should apologize or simply slide into the nearest empty seat. Not wanted to innterupt Professor Liason she slid into an empty seat in the back and hoped that the professor hadn’t noticed. It wasn’t as if she were afraid of losing house points she just didn’t want to draw attention to herself if she didn’t have to. She’d rather just continue on with the lesson.

[bradley]

It seemed kind of funny to Bradley that even though his common room was in the dungeons and not really all that far from the potions classroom that he was late. As the bell sounded throughout the now empty corridors he couldn’t believe his luck. All he could do was hope that the professor was in a good mood and he didn’t end up with detention again. Losing house points wasn’t that big of a deal but detention? It was terrible, and boring unless you somehow got detention with your friends. And as far as he knew Lyra hadn’t done anything to deserve a detention lately. Although he was late he didn’t rush to get to class as what was the point now? Late was late, it didn’t really matter whether it was by a few minutes or ten. At least, not to him anyways.

Bradley entered the classroom right behind Rose and slid into the empty seat behind her. ”Sorry professor.” he apologized. He was there now so he might as well just get on with the lesson. Pulling out his textbook he waited for the go ahead to start the potion.
