And smelled like dead people and rancid meat. So. Another thought popped up so West kept his hand raised and added a question. "Professor, could you get Stinkitus from being overexposed to fumes from the noxious potion? It sorta sounds similar to stink pellets so I was thinking maybe that could happen too?" " Nope... those are way too big to use in a classroom anyway. And yes, you could contract Stinkitus, if and only if, the victim knew what it was. The mind is a scary tool... it can give you the symptoms of something if you know the causes." Did that make sense? She hoped so. Quote:

Running through his mental-catalog of potions-like stuff...he tried to think of something that could be used in such a potion.
Hmph. How he so wanted to be a smarty-pants and say 'Water'.... "Doxy eggs, ma'am?" Quote:

He raised his hand for the next question. "Maybe Doxy eggs can be used, Professor?'' He wasn't sure about that but it was worth a try. " That's a very good answer. Yes. Doxy eggs are used." She said. Quote:

Hmmm...ingredients? Ella honestly wasn't sure, especially because she didn't know too much about the particular potion they were brewing. "Professor, water would probably be used as a base." Maybe? Ella was really just taking a guess. " Actually it isn't." She said and smirked. " Water is not used in this potion." Quote:

He listened to some other answers and tried to think in his brain about what would possibly make someone hallucinate and think they were being poisoned.
He raised his hand after a few minutes of hard concentration. "Perhaps onions or something? You need something really smelly to generate a noxious smell, right? I'm guessing something really strong, which is why I went with onions," he explained his reasoning. " That's also a good answer, but no. No onions... well... not in the vegetable form." She said.

"Professor, I've heard that morning glory seeds can cause a person to get nauseous and start throwing up when consumed. So maybe if it is mixed up in the potion, its fumes will do the same?"
'Hey it was worth a guess.' Alyssa thought to herself. " No, Miss Potter, if this potion was to be ingested maybe, but no. They are not present." She said. Quote:
Originally Posted by Mordred So it can be used as a diversion. Smirking at the thought, he got his parchment and quill and began to write down his notes. He noted too that this can be a stronger form of dungbombs, and it can leave a proper rotten memory to the victim.
So on to the ingredients.
The sixth year raised his hand before speaking. "Professor, how about Sulfur...or rotten eggs?"
Bleugh. Quote:
Originally Posted by Anna Banana "What about rotten eggs?" Sierra suggested, raising her hand. She didn't even want to think about how awful the room would smell if everybody started using rotten eggs at once. It was a common potions ingredient, though, and they did need a way to make the Noxious Potion smell terrible.
Eww...she sort of hoped she was wrong. " Sulfur. Yes. That's one of the ingredients." And the form of onion or garlic present. " But no rotten eggs." Quote:
Originally Posted by hpfan18 Belle was scribbling notes down to understand about noxious potions. She learned a lot. Good thing the potion did not kill you because then the ministry would have it banned like the professor said.
Then the professor asked for ingredients? Hmm....Belle did not know what was in it. Ella said there would be water. That was a logical answer she would pick. Belle sat there quietly. Then she had an idea.."Professor would Asphodel be used in this potion?"
Belle had no idea but at least she would get some credit for volunteering information. " No. Asphodel is not an ingredient." She said with a shrug. Quote:

Raising her hand she waited to be called on. "Professor how about armadillo bile?" why? Because it was bile and bile was gross. She blinked... Odd. She didn't think anyone would guess that. " Yes. It is." Quote:
Originally Posted by Luna004 Susan was starting to think that maybe she should have read a book or too about potions before actually coming to class. She had no idea what would be in a noxious potion. Well if it smells that bad it must contain things that smell really bad too. "Could it contain arsenic?" Susan remembered when her grandpa burned it for an experiment he was working on..it was horrible. " No. It isn't deadly." She said. Didn't she say this already. Quote:
Originally Posted by TSnitch Ambrose thought back to any potion ingredient that may have a strong enough scent to disorient someone, he thought of stink pellet gas. Then thought of bubotuber pus which was pretty gross from the bubotuber plant. It did have a heavy smell that could contribute to the noxious potion's odour.
He furrowed his dark eyebrows thinking, hoping he would smell his hair burning from the thought process over heating his blonde head. He settled on an interesting guess.
Raising his hand he said,"Professor, how about flobberworm mucus." He was a first year and remembered from his curious reading of his potions book where it said flobberworm mucus is green which could give the potion its colour. " Yes, the potion does call for flobberworm mucus." She said. Quote:
Originally Posted by Cassirin It was hard to think of what exactly ought to go into a noxious Noxious Potion. Surely things that smelled, although perhaps that was a bit obvious. "Socks. Really stinky socks," Mo muttered, although that wasn't a real answer and he hoped she wouldn't count it. Just a for pretend answer, see?
"Maybe mustard seeds or oil, Professor? As far as mundane plants go, there aren't many that are more irritating to eyes, skin, and the smell..." He waved his hands. It burned out your nose hair, that much was for sure. " Yes. There is whale oil." She said. Quote:
Originally Posted by DecemberMoon She had pretty much figured that a noxious potion would make someone ill enough to vomit or pass out, and everyone had already said so, so she'd decided to keep quiet and listen. She hadn't known it made the person go a bit mad though, thinking that the potion was actually poison. Sort of a strange way of going about things... she thought to herself. Pretty indirect, but maybe that's a good thing in some cases. If she wanted to make someone pass out, she might slip a sleeping draught or something into a drink. Not that she had any ideas of doing that.
She thought back to her first Herbology lesson of the year and the swamp. It's worth a shot, she thought as she raised her hand. "Might there be some sort of algae or rotting fauna involved?" She knew it wasn't a very specific answer, so she tried to narrow it down. "Perhaps an especially smelly toadstool?" She hoped they wouldn't have to test the potion in class. She really didn't feel any inclination to pass out or throw up. " ... no... not exactly." She said looking at the girl. Quote:

And it didn't help that Prefect Dent Head stole his answer before he could raise his hand.
Think!
Suddenly, he raised his hand. "Professor, perhaps pickled newts eyes because your innards get rather squidgy when you have to pluck 'em and stick 'em in a container and if you squeeze them too hard they pop and stinky goo goes everywhere."
Bleh!
Like a true Vindictus, he was eloquent with his choice of words. She chuckled at his description. " I kind of wish they were in the potion... but alas, they aren't." Quote:
Originally Posted by GanymedeCraft17 :: Ganymede placed her hand over her mouth. Just the mention of some of these disgusting ingredients was making her nauseous. She raised her other hand and answered "Tobacco flower."
She didn't want to make the potion inside, she hoped they wouldn't make it inside. :: " Nope." She said Quote:

But she had to answer something. Couldn't just stay quiet, could she? So, raising her hand up, she answered whatever was on the tip of her tongue, "A stinky potion would have stinky things." Yep, that was what she knew for sure. But seeing Lafay, she suddenly looked around for inspiration. What else? What else was stinky? "Rotten veggies? They smell really bad. So even rotten eggs." she said, making a face. "And snake fangs? They are smelly, and release smoke." But did they release white or green smoke? No idea!
And so she had just said what all she could guess. ... how were snake fangs stinky?! Weird. " Well yes, but vegetables, eggs and fangs are not it." Quote:
Originally Posted by McFeisty Mika had another idea of what could be in the potion. It was a mundane thing - that when left out for a while would spoil and get all chunky and gross. And kind of smell like old tube socks and dirty men's locker rooms. Kind of how she thought the Locker rooms for the various Quidditch team's 'round the world would smell. Kind of foul and dank and like they came out of some old nose-less-man's refrigerator.
Raising her hand again she offered her answer. "Professor, could spoiled Cow's milk be an ingredient?" She asked yes it was mundane. But spoiled milk was disgusting enough to be a part of a noxious potion. See she had reasons to think of it. It was noxious in itself. " Yes. Well, it isn't spoiled. But yes. Cow's milk is the base." She said. Quote:
Originally Posted by Rosa Chispa Princessa Alright, so this class will be tame. This potion is not that dangerous. It only manipulates the mind that it is. That sounds pretty cool. So now the question is, what may be in it? Hmmm, I know something, it may be a little too silly, but whatever. Oichi raised her hand, "Is there perhaps any kind of poop in the potion?", Oichi replied doing her best to keep a straight. And poop can be very smelly and unpleasant so you never know. " Yes, there is dung in the potion... Mountain Troll Dung" she said. " Not only is it the smelliest dung ever, it's also has magical properties that alter your mind." Quote:
Originally Posted by Saz Hale Christmas sat and thought for a few minutes and raised her hand and said "Professor maybe ashwinder eggs could be an ingredient" Christmas wasn't sure but it was worth a guess " Not in this one." she said. Quote:
Originally Posted by noodles Tom sat there and listened to the other students answering. He had no clue whatsoever what could be in this noxious potion, but as most of the other kids seemed to be guessing he decided to do the same. He raised his hand. Something Sierra said made sense to him. If the potion could be used during a duel, it must produce a lot of gas.. or smoke to have an effect. "The smoke or gas it produces, could that be made wiff potassium nitrate and sugar or somefin'?"
Nope, Tom Broadmoor had not just developed a scientific mind. His mates had shown him how to create basic smoke bombs when he was younger. They were a dead synch to make and caused havoc on the estate back home without being dangerous or harmful. " No, the smoke is from the Troll Dung." She said. Quote:
Originally Posted by PotterHeadforLife So, like, Kat had heard of this Potion before. But for the ingredients, she found it hard to figure out. It wasn't too poisonous, and it was real smelly. Lots of them had suggested good ingredients, like... rotten eggs. Like, that's ew. Even doxy eggs. Merlin they like eggs. Thinking harder, Kat made connections with other potions. Like something that can play or confuse someone. The Confusing Concoction, maybe? And the Befuddlement Draught! That left her with a few known ingredients.
Wasn't lovage an ingredient? Only one way to find out. Kat raised her hand. "I think lovage is an ingredient," she said. "It's also an ingredient in the Befuddlement Draught and, as you said Professor, the Noxious Potion can make the smeller think it's poisonous." Erm, yeah. There was just a connection to it and hopefully Lafay understood what she said. " No lovage." She said. Quote:
Originally Posted by RandomRaven "No. I don't have them, Professor."the Head Boy responded when Lafay thought he had some of the skiving snackbox. Nope. Not anymore to be exact.
Back to the lesson. Gary didn't have any idea about the ingredients of this potions. But also, none of this class knew about this too, right? So kept guessing. "How about... Garlic, Maam?" he guessed. Because garlic has a very strong and bad smells, right? Since this potions seemed have a dangerous fume that could make people sick or passed out. " No, not in that form... just regular sulfur." She told the Head Boy. Quote:

There must be some correct ones but she could never distinguish the correct one among them. After listening to what the apple had just said, she came up with another smelly thingy which she hated a lot. Although she didn't think that it made any sense but it did really produce a huge disgusting smell. "Perhaps...durians, Prof?"she replied in a rather uncertain tone. Durians stink. She had always hated eating them. Its texture and its smell...the whole thing simply stinks. And most importantly, they give out bad smells. " They do smell... but no." She said to her. Quote:
Originally Posted by Harry174 Laura looked at the Professor and smiled. "Does it have poisoned chocolate in it?" Laura thought that would be awesome if it did but she doubted it because that would just be plain wrong and she doubted the Professor would allowed them to make a poison with it in. " Miss Hyde, there are no poisons in this potion." She said getting annoyed. Quote:
Originally Posted by Princesspower Sarah wrote some notes... as in potions she actually took notes. She thought about the ingreidient of similar potions .... the buffdlement potion for example, perhaps scurvy grass then. No, perhaps something smelly. Then she had it. She raised her hand, "what about blue cheese that smells awfully bad? Perfectly gaggable!". It smelt like smelly socks or her brothers after they had done a lot of running around outside. " Nope...." She said. Quote:
Originally Posted by Charely Potter A potion to make you nauseous, well, that was handy.

Wade thought for a while before answering, "Animal droppings? Since no one-" That he knew anyway. "I would be willing to ingest that." " Yes, a Troll's" She said getting annoyed. Quote:

The professor asked something. ''What about dungbombs, professor?'' he said idly, running a hand through his wet blond hair. ''Sounds like they can be used for same purposes.'' " Dung, not dungbombs..." She said to him. Quote:
Originally Posted by Meizzner Nigel actually wondered if there was poison in it. But in became diluted as other ingredients went into the potion. Nigel had no idea. But he did not want to stay quiet. "Is there actual poison in it. But it becomes diluted as other ingredients are added"
But animal droppings sounded horrible in any potion. " No, no actual poison." She said. Quote:
Originally Posted by DJ ExpelliarMOOSE What Ingredients?

" No..." She looked at the prefect. " Those are not necessary. The lemon will curdle the milk."
She pointed at the black board and the following appeared. - Cow Milk - to fill cauldron half way.
- 5 Doxy eggs
- 10 grams of Sulfur
- 2 ounces of armadillo bile
- 4 cups of flobberworm mucus
- 1 cup of whale oil
- 2 cups of Mountain Troll Dung
- 1 Lemon's juice
- Handful of Poppy seeds
