He looked at the blackboard briefly to check for mistakes, and grinned innocently at the class.

"Now that we know more about the poisons and antidotes, let's move onto the final." He ceremoniously moved to his desk and lifted the blanket. Below were small bottles of 5 different potions - or rather, poisons in this case. The bottles were all black not to reveal what was inside them, and were labelled with only numbers.

"Partner up, get a bottle from here and drink it. I promise none of them will kill or incapacitate too much. Then, while fighting the effect of your potion, I want you to discover what your partner has consumed and brew an antidote for it. But do not give it to them without my approval. When you are done, bring them to me first." Easy enough, wasn't it? HEHE.

He sat down on his chair, very pleased with himself, and watched them.

OOC Explanation
The activity is what Cosgrach said: partner up, pick a number and drink it, then brew the antidote for your partner.
Please title your first post with which potion you have chosen.
I'll grade it mostly depending on how well you RP your potion's effect and trying to brew an antidote for your partner. The IC success only accounts for 5 of the overall 25 points you can get from this activity, so please do not worry about your character's succeeding to brew a fully complete antidote.
To get credit, you should post at least 4 times. There is no maximum limit.
The deadline is November 19, 23.59 GMT/18.59 EST.
I looked up the antidotes from Harry Potter Wiki and SS Potions Recipe Book; however, if you have a different source, I'm also open to them as long as you tell me where you got it from.
The list of potions:

#1: Fatiguing Fusion
#2: Love Potion (the person will fall in love with the first person s/he sees instead of the brewer)
#3: Physically Weakening Potion
#4: (Too Much) Happiness Draught
#5: Common Poison (should cause a headache, light tremor to hands and nausea)

Have fun!

Well, not forgotten ..just didn't feel like it. At least he was paying attention again! Quote: Originally Posted by Govoni "Mandrakes....."....as the essential part bit. Quote: Originally Posted by Lissy Longbottom Anyways, back to the question at hand. He sat up straighter and raised his hand. "Um, isn't it mandrake essence or something? I think most antidotes require mandrakes in some form..." he muttered. Shot in the dark here, but he hoped it would work. Quote: Originally Posted by Squishy Raising her hand she said, "I think the Mandrake is an essential part of most antidotes." If she could remember correctly. Mandrake, yes! Cosgrach smiled all of them, not realising Kevin didn't raise his hand. "That's right." And what he had in mind as an answer, but he wanted to hear others' answers too. Text Cut: Felix Quote: Originally Posted by Felixir "Cauldron, too." Usually. Cosgrach chuckled. *"I suppose so, if you'll brew* the antidote." But if it was bezoar? Not so much. Still, he nodded at the Hufflepuff, because he was still right. Text Cut: AJ Quote: Originally Posted by PhoenixStar "Clean equipment." You didn't want to go and poison yourself further, now did ya? Again, "if you'll brew the antidote." But he smiled at the girl. She was still right, clean equipment was among the most important. Text Cut*: Kace&Maddie* Quote: Originally Posted by Expecto-Penguin He found a lot but some are for specific potions for the antidotes. He heard Lux's answer about mandrakes. "Professor I think the most essential part of any potion is to know how to counteract what is causing the effect like if you drank skele gro it can grow broken bones.." he shrugged just thinking logically. Quote: Originally Posted by TakemetotheBurrow She had another thought in regard to the question that had been asked. "Knowledge, Professor. If you don't know what you're doing, you'll surely fail at making an antidote." "Knowledge, exactly!" You always had to know what you were doing in potions, or else, it would be disastrous. He smiled and nodded at them both. Good answer. Text Cut: Angel&Adi Quote: Originally Posted by Harry174 Angel smiled when she saw her sister answer the question that was amazing. "The part that saves the person is the most important." Angel was sure that everyone else would agree with that. Quote: Originally Posted by FearlessLeader19 Ohh...but wait! He thought of something. Adi raised his hand. "The most essential part would be the ingredient that fights the poison.'' Angel meant "ingredient" too, right? In any case, he smiled at both of them. "That's right. Substances that fight the poison." Text Cut: Alexa Quote: Originally Posted by DaniDiNardo "Magic? Magic binds things, so maybe that's the essential thing?" Yes? No? Another out of the box thinking. "For magical poisons, yes. There are also some muggle ways." Since they were at a magical school discussing magic, though, she still got a smile, meaning he liked her answer. Text Cut: Phoenix Quote: Originally Posted by JustAlice *"Isn't it all* essential? Like if you missed bits out it wouldn't work, or it'd explode, or poison someone more?" Cosgrach chuckled again. "You're right, yeah. It's all essential for something as serious as an antidote." He liked how he thought. Text Cut*: Zhenya* Quote: Originally Posted by Jessiqua "Professor, the most essential part of antidotes is… unicorn horns?" Was it? She was sure that might be the case for potions, but perhaps not for muggle brews. How would they get unicorn horns? "And also some way of preserving it…" she said rather quickly, putting her hand over her mouth. Hmm... "Because it's used in Antidotes to Common Poisons?" He nodded. "Good try." Unicorns had some restorative properties, yes. Text Cut: Zeke Quote: Originally Posted by Hera In the end he raised his hand, "Every antidote is different, so the most essential parts of them will depend on the poison you're trying to counter. But... basic equipment and knowledge helps, maybe even water?" Cosgrach nodded and smiled. "That's a good answer." That every antidote was different and all. "Water or some other base, yes." Good one. Text Cut: Blackboard Quote: The most essential part of antidotes Book answer: Mandrakes Your answers that are correct as well: Magic, unicorn horn, knowledge, clean equipment, cauldron, the right ingredient(s), a base for the antidote To sum up: All of the components of an antidote is important in its own way He looked at the blackboard briefly to check for mistakes, and grinned innocently at the class.
