Anna again!

Cosgrach smiled at the girl, mainly because she was a bright one, and also because she loved him. (Eheheh)

Hmm. "Yes, because like I said before, maybe they found hate is unhealthy through this potion." Y'know? An overload of this and BAM! A scientific discovery! "And anyway, it only causes hate for a few hours, so it's not deadly."

Yeah?

So he grabbed the one hair, which he almost didn't see and placed it on the feather vertically. Would the professor be happy?

"For it them to touch as much as possible, because they ought to react."

Hmm? Logical?

After letting that sink in, he turned to the Gryffindor boy (Leo).

"Please clean your gloves and wear them."

"How do the feather and the unicorn hair react?"

Cosgrach nodded again.

"It is trying to do that, though it's such a hard thing to erase all memories just like that, so it's less potent with people you really love."

As for her second question... "Magic." Truly. That was all the explanation he had. "They react to each other by touching." At least, that was the most logical explanation.

"Professor, how can such a beautiful piece of unicorn hair be used in such an awful potion?" Oh no, that wasn't the end of the question. She only stopped to suck in more air. "You see, unicorn hair is so majestic and heavenly that I don't understand how it can be beneficial to helping you hate someone." Was she making her concerns clear? Unicorns = love, not hate. "And, and... how did you get your hands on these luscious locks? Were they-" Gulp. "harmed?" Her bottom lip started to wibble. Not her beloved unicorns. She would flip this table if they were harmed.

AJ stared at the unicorn hair and laid it vertically on the feather making sure that everything was touching just right. If one of her precious unicorns were hurt, she wouldn't be able to stand it. Her eyes went back to the professor and waited for his explanation. "If you do have unicorns locked up somewhere... can I come see them?" And rescue them?

...

......what even -

Cosgrach loved AJ, but she apparently loved unicorns much more. He was not dumbstruck by the question, but rather by the way she asked it. So much... compassion there. Too much. While he was still in a haze, ZEKE ROGERS was not, and answered her and that Ravenclaw girl.

"Two points to Gryffindor for out of the box thinking," he said, "while it also definitely serves for that, that's not the primary function. Like you've said, a unicorn means positive feelings, the opposite of hate, so we want to kill them. To kill them, we have to first wake them up." Yeah? Yeah. "It is used for that and Merlin, AJ! I'm no murderer!" Every time they had to use an animal part in a potion (a.k.a. in EVERY SINGLE LESSON) at least ONE student accused him of harming the animals. Did he look like he enjoyed that just for potions?

"They drop their hair just like you do, and either me, groundskeeper or Javier pick 'em up."

Simple as that!

Although Ruby had completely ignored his previous question, Cosgrach couldn't ignore her back. He walked to her to warn her as well: "Please clean your gloves and wear them."

Hopefully, she wouldn't ignore this.

"Kace, please clean your gloves and wear them." COsgrach was friendly... now. If he didn't, Cosgrach would get mean and vanish her potion.

Way of the world.

But - without any gloves or anything?

Tut tut. A mistake he wouldn't expect from Caleb Newell.

"Caleb," he addressed the boy in a friendly tone, "please clean your gloves and wear them throughout the whole lesson."

...

......y'know, Cosgrach WAITED for her to do SOMETHING but she didN'T and -

"B.H.G?" The capitals of 'Best Head Girl'. She HAD TO guess it. Anyways. "You forgot to clean your gloves and wear them."

Just saying. No judging or vanishing... yet.

"Hugo," he called out, proud that he remembered his name, "please clean your gloves and wear them. I wasn't joking about cleanliness." Not that he sounded hostile, no. He was still very polite.

And another one here.

Cosgrach walked to her too.

"Samantha, I believe," he said pleasantly, "please clean your gloves and wear them for the rest of the class." He wasn't joking when he said it was a delicate potion.

...Cosgrach wasn't even trying to pronounce it.

"Does it... have a meaning?" It ought to, no?

...but he apparently was distracting her, because she'd forgotten to put on her gloves.

"So, Miss, uh, Wolfblaerghp," he'd already forgotten how to say the rest, and he wasn't going to try reading it, "please clean your gloves too and wear them."

Ah.

He grinned vastly then.

"Y'see, because I'm a Scottish too!" He was ignoring the "USA" part and the fact that she might feel more American than Scottish. "'S nice to see a Scottish, that's all. If you need anythin', y'can come to me."

Scot-support!

...huhhhh?

Was a simple greeting TOO MUCH to ask?

But, oh - it didn't even matter, because Sophie picked TOBY over him. So he'd let this poor boy be... for now.

Completely oblivious to Toby's discomfort, Cosgrach was very pleased to see him helping the first years. He nodded at the boy and said "6 points to Hufflepuff."

...

"Hahaha." Grin.

"So we're equal, now?" Yes. Hehe.

Right right. Scourgify. Cool beans, got it. NOW HER CAULDRON WAS OH SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN CLEAN.

That feather thing went in next, following directions and all like a boss. Then she picked up a UNICORN HAIR COOL, tore it in half, and handed the OTHER half to PHOENIX.

"Then LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY the hair on the feather, GENTLY, tuck it in and read it a bedtime story." Zahra LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAID the hair ON the feather, though for the life of her it she couldn't figure out why that mattered.

She... she got him?

And stopped?

Cosgrach couldn't understand HOW he managed that. Maybe it was her happy day or something? Like she'd promised someone to say "Yes" to everything - it didn't even make sense, but that was the only explanation Cosgrach could come up with. So he allowed himself to smile somewhat nervously and even laughed at her joke, because it was funny.

And look, she was going really well!

And it was this blue feather first, right?" He pulled on his gloves and picked it up, letting the feather shimmer in the light. "And then half the unicorn hair?"

Oh look, someone else was helping the lil mate now. A Gryffindor, it seemed, so...

"Three points to Gryffindor." There.

But he - he was just -

"Trying to be funny through me," Cosgrach concluded his sentence, which should also answer Kevin, "and anyway, maybe the outcome of our discussion will be useful." Like maybe Zander WOULD prove to have more wits than he showed.

He turned his back to them. This discussion was over.

Text Cut: Ethan and Gregoire

Moving on.

Cosgrach walked to the front and tapped his wand on the blackboard for the next steps to show.

"Add a litre of water, and then three leech heads one by one. With a metal stick, stir it clockwise for ten times. Clean the metal stick before and after using. Then add half the ginger root, and wait for two minutes."

It sounded as much, but they had been too slow in the beginning, and these were steps they ought to do quickly.

OOC: I know those are too many instructions, but RL is hectic, which means I can post only once, which means we are moving a bit slowly. I hope it is not too much.

I'll post about 17 hours later.
