And that was why they were here, to learn, so why couldn't they just be TOLD everything and take notes? Hmm? That was what she would have really liked to know, not stuff about some weird-scented potion.

But, really, that was the best guess she could take.

Hecate looked at the girl and glared.

"Thank you, Captain Obvious." She said sarcastically, "Can someone who actually wants to learn answer my question?"

Moving on from that. THIRD OF ALL, she was Head Girl Skylar. Fourth of all, she was NOT flirting with Dylan. Psh. That NEVER happened.

Of course, Lafay was really REALLY scary so she was not going to say any of those things. Instead, she settled for a quiet, "Yes, ma'am." There was no need to get into it with the woman. She was scary.

Okay, so there were two problems with Lafay's question. One was that she was not sure what exactly noxious meant and she had NO idea what type of potion that was to be honest. So she kept her hand down and stayed very silent. She was SO lost it was not even funny. They were talking about potions. The only thing she knew for sure about potions was that when she made them they blew up.

Well... she was no fun. She should have stuck to Shacklebolt...

SPOILER!!: Fumes

And when they moved on, she finally raised her hand to supply an educated guess to the latest question.

"I'm not familiar with the potion, Professor," she admitted seeing as she wasn't really familiar with many potions. "But perhaps its supposed to make one sick or believe that whatever the person smells is noxious-smelling." Sounded like a good as guess as any.

Raising her hand she waited to be called on.

"Um Professor the Noxious Potion is a green potion that releases green puffs of smoke" Mika asked the look of wonder playing over her eyes.

She really wanted to know more about the potion but she guessed she'd give some more students the time to answer about it.

Raising her hand, the blonde waited to be called on. "Professor, I've only heard the word noxious in relation to gases or fumes so perhaps the potion gives off noxious fumes?" In which case, would they be wearing masks or anything while brewing it?

Also, because Professor Lafay felt better, it was more so likely that someone was getting hexed today. Seemed legit to him. Who would it be was the better question...and if no one felt inclined, perhaps he could...instigate...

The Slytherin Captain was good at bringing out feelings and emotions in others that they themselves were unaware of...

Dylan just needed a victim...

Hmph. Another question.

After some hand-raising, he spoke. "Professor, noxious can mean a smell that is simply unpleasant. So, perhaps this potion is one that makes someone smell revolting." Maybe it could...Maybe it couldn't. "Like if you were someone trying to deter someone's affections, perhaps you could take this and make them lose interest."...because nothing was more unattractive than a stinky female.

Ew.

Then Professor Lafay posed her next question. 'Hmmm.....what is the Noxious Potion?' Alyssa rubbed her chin as she thought out the answer. She had never seen one before but decided to hazard a guess. Raising her hand, Alyssa answered.

"Professor, I believe that the potion makes the person who is smelling it unconscious. It being something not good, its color would be most likely be green....I mean....it being something that is used for the benefit of the user, which is a good thing...it would most likely be green in color." Alyssa quickly amended her answer, belatedly remembering that Professor Lafay was the Head of House of Slytherin, whose house colors were green and black. 'Emphasis more on the black than green.' Alyssa nodded to herself.

She raised her hand. "My guess it's a potion that can harm someone or make them ill." Since Lafay had mentioned that not all noxious things kill.

Kat raised her hand. "As you said, Professor, not every noxious thing would kill you. So if the potion wouldn't really mean to kill," Kat paused. Let it sink in. But... why would something not poisonous NOT kill you? It kind of required some more thinking. Think like a Ravenclaw, act like a Slytherin. Ok, whatever. "It could injure you." Injuring would be the nearest thing to death that a Potion could manage.

Oichi raised her hand, "A noxious potion is a potion that may be poisonous in some way and emits green clouds of smoke when brewed correctly.".

At least her voice wasn't in such an odious tone as her mood. "When completed, it releases green puffs of smoke that, although it hasn't been proven yet, can be considered poisonous, therefore, it might bring harm and injury to the drinker or the one that would be able to inhale the smoke."

Wasn't that just appropriate for her current mood?

Very.

Not really knowing the potion Minerva thought about what it could mean. Putting up her hand, "Professor, could it be a potion that would make a person pass out for a bit or even fall into a sleep." she wasn't sure if that was right, but it sounded fun to do.

"Professor, it releases green clouds of smoke when it's done."

Nigel was not sure what else it does. But it sounds like an awesome potion. If not use on himself.

Sarah had remember reading about it, yet she could not recallif it mentioned what it did or if it said so, she forgot.
Yet she did remember one thing or two, "when released it gives off green clouds of smoke. Precisely what It does I am unsure, yet it is some kind of poison. Perhaps it makes a person collapse from all the harmful eh noxious fumes" She said upon raising her hand.

Though it's been said more than once, Cassia still raised her hand and spoke. "The potion has not very pleasant effects in fact harmful and dangerous ones." That about summed it up. Why speak a lot. "I think it comes in handy if you want to get rid of someone or just teach them a lesson." That wasn't part of the question. She just felt like wording out her bitter, Slytherin-ish thoughts. That was allowed right.

He knew better to say anything now, especially since she was no longer knocking on death's door, so he settled for a nod in Nell's direction.. though she was already sitting now and it was probably a moot point.

He turned his green eyes back to the front of the room and thought about the first question. Noxious sounded an awful lot like obnoxious.. though he knew the meanings were a bit different. The other students quite sufficiently provided the answer and he didn't really have anything to add to the definition that wasn't just an echo.

Noxious potion and its effects.. The sixth year had never brewed that one and wasn't entirely familiar with it, though he had heard of it before. He thought over its description as well as some of the other answer and raised his hand. "I'm fairly sure that one gives off green fumes. So maybe instead of drinking that potion, one just opens the vial to release noxious fumes.. and maybe that renders the recipient unconscious?" Yes, it was a guess.. but it was a guess inferred from what he knew.

It made sense to him. The other thing he had in mind was comparing it to chloroform, but he may save that for later.

About Noxious Potion.. Ira had actually studied a bit, more like glanced over it. She raised her hand up and answered, "Well, since it is called naxious potion, its intent is to harm the victim." Like, it was obvious, "But since I've not heard the potion killing anyone, I think that it just harms the drinker badly, with the main intention not real damage, but causing pain."

"Yes, you are all right... in a way..." She said "and it can, indirectly injure the victims."

"Yes Master Odessa, no one would or could drink the potion." She said to the boy.

SPOILER!!: injesting

Penelope wasn't at all familiar with the potion or anything about it, but she supposed she could guess at some things. So her hand went up. "I guess it could make the person who drinks it sick? Or it could be put into something, like food, and then it would make the food make the person who eats it sick?" Maybe it was worse if taken directly though? Eh, she didn't know. Just throwing out guesses here.

"Professor the fact that it's called noxious could explain what it does. It probably renders the drinker great harm or discomfort."

The noxious potion? "It releases a green smoke that is foul smelling, and the potion itself would harm the drinker if taken..." Was that right? Or was she mixing it up with something else? Maybe? Oh she didn't know...

The Hufflepuff decided to just sit there, listening to the others as they answered.

WAIT! She remembered quite well that one time she gave no answer and professor Lafay actually spoke directly to her demanding that she replied. But... she didn't know! Was she supposed to just make up a random answer just for the sake of replying to the Slytherin Head of House??

... Probably. Sigh. Alright then, she needed a good enough answer. Or any answer, really. "Noxious Potion is... one that..." That WHAT?? "That um... that's poisonous." There. It was an answer. Not the best one, but oh well.

Poker face.

"This is not a potion that is to be injested. Nor could one... even by accident." She said, she'd explain better when everyone had answered.

"Professor i know that noxious potions release a green fume or gas and it can make the victim violently ill. The maker of the noxious potion can also intend to injure or kill the person." That was all she knew so far.

"No. This potion does not kill. It would be banned by the ministry if that was it." She said to the girl.

Noxious was just... so broad a term. Too broad. Maybe all poisons fell under that category name, only the professor hadn't said it like that. Mo propped his chin on his fist and stared at the professor with unwavering green eyes as he thought.

Okay, maybe... he raised his hand. "Professor, it doesn't sound like it would be a poison based on the naming conventions we see for poisons. So either it's a non-poisonous potion that maybe smells really bad or is otherwise really offensive to the senses, or maybe it's a potion that can be used to identify poisonous things?" Like an indicator of sorts. That would be useful, right?

Hecate blinked. She looked at her roster. The boy was only a third year, and yet... Like father like son I guess... "Very good. It isn't a poison... though to my knowledge it can't be used as an identifier. People have tried though..."

Quote:

After hearing all those guesses and the Professor's response, she thought she'd take a guess at the potion they'd be brewing. Could be poisonous, harmful, gross...

"Is it something used to knock people out?...like when someone's trying to get in the way of something you'd slip them some then move on with life like in those muggle movies?" They wouldn't be dead but they wouldn't be meddling either...

Was she right?

"In the right quantities, it can knock someone out. But you couldn't 'slip' them some." She told her.

She lowered her hand and gave it a little more thought. "I think a person would use it when they want to make a quick get-a-way or when they want to distract their opponent in a duel. Things like that. It releases green, odorous fumes, I think, and...most people get away really quickly when they see things like that."

"Yes it certainly can be used in a duel as a distraction" Very good. They were getting it.

"Well, Professor. I think the skiving snackbox also contains noxious potions? Because they could make someone sick or pass out." he spoke as he raised his hand. Luckily he'd never had them before but he used to prank people with Skiving snackbox when he was a child.

"Not really, you wouldn't be able to ingest them. The smell would be way too strong." She said. "And I certainly hope you do not have any of those... snackboxes on your person Master Head Boy."

SPOILER!!: mind altering

"Yes. That is correct." She said.

SQUASH.

With his book, not his hands of course. Of COURSE.

"The noxious potion emits a green smoke that corrupts the mind into thinking it's poisonous and noxious. The smell can be so strong that it can make you pass out, or feel ill and throw up. It is so strong in fact, that your mind will NOT allow you to ingest it. If it is forcibly consumed, nothing will happen to the victim expect... well... throwing it up. As that is what it trains the mind to do. It can injure the victim indirectly by making them pass out and fall, hurting themselves." She smirked. "They can be used as a distraction, by tossing the vial, or bottle on the ground and allowing the gas to do it's thing."

She was about to put up the list of ingredients when she opted to ask about them instead. "Who can tell me what ingredients are in this potion?"

Ira had actually studied a bit, more like glanced over it. She raised her hand up and answered, "Well, since it is called naxious potion, its intent is to harm the victim." Like, it was obvious, "But since I've not heard the potion killing anyone, I think that it just harms the drinker badly, with the main intention not real damage, but causing pain." "Yes, you are all right... in a way..." She said "*and it can, indirectly* injure the victims." Quote: Originally Posted by Tegz "Does it smell so bad that it can make people unconscious?" West wondered out loud, hand up. "If its super noxious and stinky or whatever, and visibly noxious too, I can't imagine anyone would actually drink it, so it must be the vapours and gas and whatnot that do the job." "Yes Master Odessa, no one would or could drink the potion." She said to the boy. SPOILER!!*: injesting* Quote: Originally Posted by AlwaysSnapesGirl There was a Noxious Potion? That sounded...interesting. And probably a bit dangerous, at least considering some of the definitions people were giving for that word. Hmm. Penelope wasn't at all familiar with the potion or anything about it, but she supposed she could guess at some things. So her hand went up. "I guess it could make the person who drinks it sick? Or it could be put into something, like food, and then it would make the food make the person who eats it sick?" Maybe it was worse if taken directly though? Eh, she didn't know. Just throwing out guesses here. Quote: Originally Posted by FearlessLeader19 Jory scrawled a definition down in his book as the Professor responded to the students. After some thought, he raised his hand to answer the second question. "I'm not familiar with the potion, Professor,'' the boy began. "But I think it will make the person who consumes it fall ill.'' Quote: Originally Posted by Riverlynn Well at least she had been pretty close to the mark. The mention of the noxious potion brought a few memories up but they were too insubstantial to even try to remember. It didn't take a genius though to take a good stab at what it was. From what she did remember though it was a relatively hard one to make. "Professor the fact that it's called noxious could explain what it does. It probably renders the drinker great harm or discomfort." Quote: Originally Posted by JustAlice Was she feeling alright? ...No. But she couldn't think of anything worse than going to the nurse right now. "I'm okay, thank you, Professor..." She wasn't going to pass out, probably, so she'd rather stay in lesson and try and learn... The noxious potion? "It releases a green smoke that is foul smelling, and the potion itself would harm the drinker if taken..." Was that right? Or was she mixing it up with something else? Maybe? Oh she didn't know... Quote: Originally Posted by jujune29th So... Sophie didn't really know anything about today's lesson, apparently. Or maybe she was just in one of her quiet days? Nah, those didn't really exist; the first option was probably the most accurate one. The Hufflepuff decided to just sit there, listening to the others as they answered. WAIT! She remembered quite well that one time she gave no answer and professor Lafay actually spoke directly to her demanding that she replied. But... she didn't know! Was she supposed to just make up a random answer just for the sake of replying to the Slytherin Head of House?? ... Probably. Sigh. Alright then, she needed a good enough answer. Or any answer, really. "Noxious Potion is... one that..." That WHAT?? "That um... that's poisonous." There. It was an answer. Not the best one, but oh well. Poker face. "This is not a potion that is to be injested. Nor could one... even by accident." She said, she'd explain better when everyone had answered. Quote: Originally Posted by hpfan18 When the professor asked if she was familiar with the noxious potion, Belle only heard about it reading a book. She was in the library one day and was researching potions. She wanted to learn more. She then remembered the paragraph she read... "Professor i know that noxious potions release a green fume or gas and it can make the victim violently ill. The maker of the noxious potion can also intend to injure or kill the person." That was all she knew so far. "No. This potion does not kill. It would be banned by the ministry if that was it." She said to the girl. Quote: Originally Posted by Cassirin Hmm. Mo had heard of Noxious Potion, although only in passing. It seemed impossible to believe it was a poison, considering that poisons all had names of their own. Noxious was just... so broad a term. Too broad. Maybe all poisons fell under that category name, only the professor hadn't said it like that. Mo propped his chin on his fist and stared at the professor with unwavering green eyes as he thought. Okay, maybe... he raised his hand. "Professor, it doesn't sound like it would be a poison based on the naming conventions we see for poisons. So either it's a non-poisonous potion that maybe smells really bad or is otherwise really offensive to the senses, or maybe it's a potion that can be used to identify poisonous things?" Like an indicator of sorts. That would be useful, right? Hecate blinked. She looked at her roster. The boy was only a third year, and yet... Like father like son I guess... "Very good. It isn't a poison... though to my knowledge it can't be used as an identifier. People have tried though..." Quote: Originally Posted by DaniDiNardo So it could be a poison...but just not necessarily. This just meant it could have been interesting...but not necessarily. Hmmmm... After hearing all those guesses and the Professor's response, she thought she'd take a guess at the potion they'd be brewing. Could be poisonous, harmful, gross... "Is it something used to knock people out?...like when someone's trying to get in the way of something you'd slip them some then move on with life like in those muggle movies?" They wouldn't be dead but they wouldn't be meddling either... Was she right? "In the right quantities, it can knock someone out. But you couldn't 'slip' them some." She told her. Quote: Originally Posted by Anna Banana "I think it's just a distraction," Sierra said, raising her hand. "Like you said, being noxious doesn't mean it'll kill you. It just means it can injure you or really set you back somehow." She lowered her hand and gave it a little more thought. "I think a person would use it when they want to make a quick get-a-way or when they want to distract their opponent in a duel. Things like that. It releases green, odorous fumes, I think, and...most people get away really quickly when they see things like that." "Yes it certainly can be used in a duel as a distraction" Very good. They were getting it. Quote: Originally Posted by RandomRaven Noxious.. Dangerous. Wait, so today we're gonna make poisonous potions? Well, maybe it wouldn't the one that could kill someone after consume it. Perhaps just like a prank that could make someone pass out or sick? Yup, just like the famous Skiving Snackbox from Weasley Wizard Wheezers. "Well, Professor. I think the skiving snackbox also contains noxious potions? Because they could make someone sick or pass out." he spoke as he raised his hand. Luckily he'd never had them before but he used to prank people with Skiving snackbox when he was a child. "Not really, you wouldn't be able to ingest them. The smell would be way too strong." She said. "And I certainly hope you do not have any of those... snackboxes on your person Master Head Boy." SPOILER!!: mind altering Quote: Originally Posted by noodles Thomas gaped at the Slytherin kid with the black hair.. West - he liked the name but what was he talking about? Latin and roots and words.. Tom felt incredibly stupid as he sat there and listened.. while not really listening at the same time. It went straight over his head. Back to Lafay his attention went, though he caught Addy Kennedy smiling at him and he sent one back her way. She seemed dead nice. Noxious.. yeah. Like noxious gases. The Gryffindor boy's dorms had it's own fair share of those.. Tom raised his hand once again. "Does it make poisonous gases? One whiff an' you're on the floor. Like puts you to sleep or makes you fall unconscious. Or maybe it jus' makes a bad smell." He added as an afterthought. "Like a stinkbomb in a bottle." Hmm.. What else? “Could it do stuff to your mind? Me mate back 'ome had gas at the dental 'ospital once cos he was phobic an' it made him giggle like a girl." Quote: Originally Posted by Mordred Noxious Potion? Well, he wasn't entirely familiar with the said potion, but he may have an idea on what it can do. He raised his hand as soon as West finished reciting. "Professor, I suppose the Noxious Potion can corrupt the mind? Meaning, it can manipulate one's thinking to do harmful things." He wasn't sure about this, but he guessed it was worth a shot. "Yes. That is correct." She said. Quote: Originally Posted by Emzily "Nope, never heard of it." Theo said with a nod. So, really, he shouldn't of said anything at all. Oh well, just so Lafay knew that he was listening and stuff. Because he very rarely did during the listening parts of potions class. Ooh, there was a spider on his desk. SQUASH. With his book, not his hands of course. Of COURSE. "The noxious potion emits a green smoke that corrupts the mind into thinking it's poisonous and noxious. The smell can be so strong that it can make you pass out, or feel ill and throw up. It is so strong in fact, that your mind will NOT allow you to ingest it. If it is forcibly consumed, nothing will happen to the victim expect... well... throwing it up. As that is what it trains the mind to do. It can injure the victim indirectly by making them pass out and fall, hurting themselves." She smirked. "They can be used as a distraction, by tossing the vial, or bottle on the ground and allowing the gas to do it's thing." She was about to put up the list of ingredients when she opted to ask about them instead. "Who can tell me what ingredients are in this potion?" __________________ Last edited by Droo; 01-22-2013 at 10:15 PM.
