They were still alternating and they were still the right number... but I know that potions can be particular and it was a stupid mistake," Professor thought it over, and shook his head in the end. "Not a terrible mistake," he said calmly. In fact, this was better. "Don't worry, and go on with brewing. Another mistake will be expensive, though," he said, and he meant 'expensive'--she would probably have to buy a new cauldron. Quote:

"Um...Would a delayed reaction mean anything, Professor?" It had certainly exploded a good bit AFTER the slugs were in. Not immediate like the man had said or seemingly alluded to. A couple of minutes given first he had had to react and then the professor. Oh, it exploded! Good, good. He would hate it if another student had to start over, though it would be salvageable in this case, probably. Cosgrach cocked his head to the side. "You might have a few problems with the ignition, but it should be alright." Marvellous, it was, actually. This was a first, but he could understand why. Demonstrations! Cosgrach LOVED those! One by one, they all demonstrated the effects and he watched intently. First up was Bart--did he just fart? Fart-Bart? Hilarious! He wasn't going to laugh--shouldn't--but hearing that Puffer boy--oh, Merlin help him! He snorted once, controlled the urge and smiled at F--Bart. Well done, son!
Next was the Slytherin boy--oh, he should have asked his name!--and... Buuuuuuuuuurp!
Cosgrach chuckled to himself. He LOVED this potion! "Sure wasn't," he called to the boy. Sure it wasn't him! And next came up Alice, and he almost held his breath--but the Gryffindor lady held her stance very well! She didn't even burp, and he could see why she wanted to demonstrate. He nodded at her. He was... impressed. "Thank you, volunteers," he said as normally as he could--he still remembered the fart and burp, after all, and he walked to his desk to sit. He had been on his feet so far and he was 40 years old.
Sigh. "Spare half of your potion for homework," he said to them, "and use half that should let you breathe fire for seven to ten minutes. Blow more fiercely if you want a fiercer fire, and vice-versa." He checked his watch. "We have fifteen minutes left of the class, so don't forget to clean after yourselves. Leave the fire crab shells on your desks, please." He, himself, was going to collect those.
And those still curious to experience drinking it? He wasn't going to stop them. He just wanted them to know it'd BURN, they'd STEAM and BURP. OOC: Thank you for your participation so far, everyone! The fire's effects are a tickling sensation, warmth and curing. To get full credit from this little activity, you should post at least two times: 1. breathing on someone and 2. RPing the effects from someone else's fire. Go on, get creative, tickle your enemies, friends and 'special' ones and most importantly, have fun! I'll close the class on Sunday at 22.00 GMT, so you have roughly 36 hours to finish it. I'll be reading every post, of course, but it wouldn't hurt to title your post 'Professor' if your character needs assistance.
Enjoy and have a nice weekend! |
