SnitchSeeker.com - View Single Post - P.A.D Joint Lesson :: Moon phases, Potions, & Werewolves..OH MY!

This was uncomfortable for Cosgrach, because he was used to walking in the aisles OR sitting down; but there were no aisles and his chair was trapped behind ~~Mr. Dark Wizard~~ Sabel. So, he had to stand in the middle. How did Airey look so natural, again?

He listened to all of the answers and there was no wrong ones, so he was happy that they had an idea about it. He noted the silent ones too and hoped that didn't mean they didn't know... but everyone had an idea about werewolves, so more like they were too shy to talk or something. Oh well.

"A werewolf is a human who becomes wolf-like when it's full moon. They forget all their human memories and they become deadly. They have absolutely no control of themselves and no choice not to transform. So," he began to walk in the open slowly area because WOW standing still was weird, "they have traditionally been cast out by societies. Although they are harmless otherwise, people still think they can pass on this condition by merely talking." His face showed his opinion about such people. He used to be one of them and believed werewolves had to live far away, but his opinion had drastically changed, and for good. "The only way this can pass is through the contact of a transformed werewolf saliva and human blood. Even then, if the scar isn't sealed by silver and dittany, the victim will die. Muggles can't even survive it. If a werewolf bites someone while human, the victim only gains lupine tendencies such as preferring raw meat.

"Back to the memory thing. I said they don't remember who they are, but they do remember what they did when they transform back to their human form. This is essential, then: if they can remember who they are, they wouldn't attack. Which is practically what Wolfsbane does. It relieves some pain and allows the werewolf to hold their human mind. This is one of the biggest discoveries in our society, so a huge thanks to Mr. Damocles who invented it after the mid-1970s." He paused to let it sink in, because he didn't want them to miss the nest part about Wolfsbane.

"As some of you have said, its main ingredient is wolfsbane, a.k.a. aconite, another a.k.a. monkshood. Since aconite is very poisonous, an incorrectly brewed potion is as well. The werewolves say it tastes terribly but adding anything else will make it ineffective. It's also unique in that the werewolf must drink a gobletful for a whole week before the full moon. If they miss even one day, they'd better find a safe place to pass the night, because it won't be effective. It's because the curse, or magic, or whatever you call this condition is very strong. Remember: there's no cure yet, this just eases the symptoms. The werewolf still transforms, but they keep their human mind."

PHEW. That was some explanation, eh? At least it was done now - until Sabel added more about werewolves - and now they could start brewing!

He tapped his wand on the board. Airey's WEREWOLVES got smaller and the ingredients appeared.

7 aconites' roots

"Like I said, this is a delicate potion, so it can only be brewed with a brass cauldron." He gestured at the cauldrons by everyone's desk. If they had a different type, they were welcome to use them.

"Please heat the glass of milk for 3 minutes on medium flame seperately. Fill your cauldrons fully with water in the meantime and add the milk. Set the cauldron on low flame."

The start was EASY and if anyone got it wrong, it wouldn't be nice for them. They'd BETTER clean their hands before starting not to get any cookies in the water, too. So, this was a test to see who embraced potions brewing and who came to class just to pass.
