Here is one more. I had the other one all typed out and I have no idea what happened. It just disappeared and I really don't feel like retyping it right this minute so I'll put it up tomorrow. Again, a spelling etc. check would be appreciated. My eyes are a blur at the moment.

EDIT FROM DRACOSDUCHESS: Brilliant! Has been POSTED!

Valera

Quote:

Snape grabbed the parchment and looked over the ingredients. "I need passion, chocolate and that muggle actor Gary Oldman in order to make an essence of Valera. Let's see. Well, I know I have passion. That's in my top right hand drawer of my desk. Considering my real passion is the Defense Against the Dark Arts position, I have to take some passion every day in order to endure this Potions Master schtick."

Severus walked over to his desk, opened his drawer and withdrew the vial of passion. He walked back over to the cauldron and added the ingredient.

Next to the cauldron sat a sizable amount of of Honeydukes solid chocolate. Snape broke off a piece and stuffed it in his mouth. It was a little too large and he had some difficulty reading the steps. "I eed some cholat. Wat," he said, swallowing some of the melting chocolate, "maybe I shouln be eatn it." He swallowed again and rid himself of the lump of calories. He hulked the remaining chocolate into the cauldron and it quickly began to melt.

"Now all I need is--"

The dungeon door slammed open and a very pale, very old man with rolling hills hair and spidery fingers glided into the room. "I am Dracul. Creatures of the night. What music they make," he said in a thick Romanian accent.

Severus blinked at him. "You're in the wrong movie, Gary."

"I--what?" He put his hands on his hips. "Are you serious?"

"Do I look like Keanu Reeves?"

Gary Oldman pulled off his wig, letting his dark brown hair show, and pulled the old man make-up off of his face. "You know, I had a feeling I should have donned the Azkaban gear. The castle confused me."

"Foiled by granite, I see?"

"So, who are we making today?"

"Essence of Valera. I have everything ready to go except you."

"Oh, she wants me? Cheeky. It still gets me going that at my age the girls still fancy me."

"Just get in the cauldron."

"Right." Gary Oldman walked over to the cauldron and climbed in.

Severus grabbed a giant wooden spoon and dipped it into the potion and began to stir. At first Gary resisted the chocolate, trying to swim the opposite way but eventually conceeded. It wasn't long before everything was mixed and Valera was standing before him.

"You know, Gary was hotter as the younger version of Dracula," Valera said, crossing her arms.

"I'll take your word for it but I wasn't expecting him to show up in fang."

"Gotcha. Well, thanks for brewing me!"

"I should have saved myself some chocolate."

"Well, I think there's still some in the cauldron."

"Chocolate-covered Gary Oldman. You know what? I think I'll go rig up a swing on the Whomping Willow."

Merry Christmas!

I'll take on delicate-flower/Delicate Flower since I knocked one off. And Duch, I'm not PM-ing them to people. I figured it's be better if you did that. Easier for you to keep track. Or post them in the thread, whichever.

Tackling 69 and 110. Taxus, are you still doing 13?

Nabs · 12-05-2006, 01:55 PM

Oh dear, I wont be able to do the ones I claimed yesterday. I'm back at uni and dont have a Christmas break (I know, it's cruel), and have got a ton of assignments due in the next week. So I'd hate to be holding back from finishing the requests. Please take my claims off the list and allow somebody else to do them.

I'll try to put in some help whenever I can, but I just can't right now or tomorrow or the day after or I dont even know when I can help. So sorry!

Taxus · 12-05-2006, 02:40 PM

OK, and here's Vladislaus's that farted out on me last night. And I warn you. She asked for the crazy chef thing--

EDIT FROM DRACOSDUCHESS: POSTED!! I'm glad you took this one, Sissa! I have never seen Iron Chef! LOL!

Vladislaus

Quote:

As the darkness was rising, Severus tied his bandana around his head, covering his eyebrows. This was the only night he'd be able to prepare the Essence of Countess Vlad and he wanted it right on the first shot. He just didn't have the patience to wait another year for a new moon.

He set up his ingredients in a row, in order from first to last. He set his timer for one minute and thirty seconds, chiming every thirty seconds to change the ingredients. He stool still and silent, staring straight ahead, waiting for just the right moment, just the right time to start. He consulted the Astronomy professor and calculated the time the new moon would be highest in the sky. The time crept closer. Any moment now...

"Start your brewing!" the enchanted timer yelled and Severus lunged for the first ingredient, the cup of dark humor. He dumped the ingredient into the cauldron and threw the cup to the other side of the room, behind him no less. He still had twenty seconds until the next ingredient could be added so he readied himself.

Knees bent, running quickly in place, arms out as if to get ready to take action (think American football players' speed drills). He stared straight ahead, sweat dripping down his face.

"Go now!" yelled the timer.

Severus grabbed for the pinch of love with his thumb and forefinger but he couldn't get it all. There was still remnance left on the table! He took his pinky and swept the remaining love into his hand waiting just underneath the lip of the table and dumped it in.

"Argh!" he screamed, psyching himself up for the final ingredient, the stage blood.

"It's the last one! Do it now!"

Snape grabbed the bowl of blood packets and started popping them over the cauldron and emptying the contents into the potion. Pieces of plastic flew hither and thither, some landing on shelves, others on desks and on the floor. He swatted away one that caught a draft and tried to land in the potion.

"Countess Vlad doesn't call for plastic!" His eyes were bulging, his voice becoming hoarse.

He got back in his ready position and stared at the potion, waiting for it to boil. In no time, Countess Vlad was emerging from the cauldron.

"A sedative would do you good. And so would taking off that bandana. Canary yellow just isn't your color," said Countess Vlad.

Severus's eyelids flickered, his eyeballs rolled back into his head and he collapsed to the floor. He looked to still be breathing. Vlad shurgged her shoulders, stepped out of the cauldron, over Severus and out the door.

Merry Christmas!

I'll add Melissapetey31/Melissa to my list of ficlets to write.

DracosDuchess · 12-05-2006, 11:14 PM

Aww, that sucks that you don't have a Christmas break! But don't worry about it! I've taken your name off the one's you had claimed! They'll get done eventually! I've only had one person PM ask me where her request was! Good luck with your uni work! I know what you're going through! I'm in Dead Week right now at my university and next week is final's week, so I'm swamped with work! That's why I haven't been getting my claims fulfilled! But everything else has been posted and the list updated!

SlytherinSissa · 12-06-2006, 02:48 AM

Here is Dissendium.Hedwig407.

Hedwig/Hedwig's Brew

Quote:

"Today we'll be mixing the Essence of Hedwig, otherwise known as Hedwig's Brew. Can anyone tell me the elements involved in such a potion?"

Hermione's hand shot into the air but Snape dulfully overlooked it. "No one? Looks like I'll have to choose. Weasley!"

Ron's head shot up from his last neck loll, having been jerked out of a semi-sleep. "Yes sir?' he asked squeakily.

"Well, well. Looks like someone wasn't paying attention. Ten points from Gryffindor. Now, tell me the ingredients in Hedwig's Brew."

"But sir, isn't that a NEWT-level potion?"

"Go back to your nap, Weasley. Your mind obviously works best when unconscious. Another ten points from Gryffindor."

"Sir, please. The Essence of Hedwig, or Hedwig's Brew, contains a drop of unpredictability, three tablespoons of Brangelina and three and a half teaspoons of internet addiction. Those three ingredients must be brought to a boil for five minutes and then allowed to cool. Once cool, it must be stored in a violet bottle."

"Looks like Miss Granger has a penchant for speaking out of turn and revels in being an insufferable little know-it-all. Tell me, where do we find such ingredients?"

Hermione frowned but her inner know-it-all pressed her to answer the question. "While they are unusual ingredients, they're not all that rare. Any regular apothecary would carry unpredictability and the other two can be found in larger stores, ones that carry a broad range of ingredients from all over the world."

Snape smirked. "Ten points from Gryffindor. Now get to work. You have an hour."

The students clamored up from their desks to gather their ingredients and light the fires needed under their cauldrons. Ron couldn't get his potion right and it ended up looking like river sludge. Harry's turned a shade of neon green so bright that it nearly blinded him and Draco succeeded in getting slapped in the face by the brew he created.

"Time's up. Vials in to me now and they had better be violet!"

The students cleaned up their work stations, emptied their potions into their violet vials and brought them up to the professor. Hermione was the last student to bring her vial up.

"Professor, before I had a chance to put it in the vial, the Essence of Hedwig said something to me."

"Is that so?"

"Yes. It said that unless you stop deducting points from Gryffindor, the next time you mix Hedwig's Brew, it'll be forced to wash your hair and exfoliate your face." Hermione fought back a smile as she watched the blood rise in Snape's face.

"You insolent child! Out of my classroom, now!"

Hermione's face dropped and she ran from the classroom, leaving Snape with a deskful of Hedwig's Brew that he swore he could hear chuckling at him. Even Ron's sludge seemed to gurgle at him.

"Oh shut up or I'll dump you down the toilet."

The laughing only got louder as Severus rolled his eyes and shook his head.

Merry Christmas!

I'll add wild_prairie_gal/Sophia to my list.

Duch, I've never seen Iron Chef before either. I had to look it up to get an idea of what it was. That's pretty much all on a guess.

This is for delicate-flower. It's not the best I've written but it's not bad.

Delicate Flower

Quote:

"Severus, may I ask, what are you doing in Madam Sprout's gardens? Everything you need should be in the greenhouses."

"Headmaster, unfortunately Professor Sprout doesn't grow tulips in the greenhouses. I need them in order to make the Essence of Delicate Flower. Don't worry. Madam Sprout has enchanted the soil so once they're picked, they immediately grow back."

"Very well then. I'll leave you to it."

As Albus Dumbledore walked away, Severus finished picking the flowers he needed for the Essence of Delicate Flower. Peeves had already obtained the fuzziness for him. Originally Peeves brought Snape Mrs. Norris. Snape told him he needed fuzzy, not freaky and to find something else. It wasn't long before Peeves returned with a sazk of fuzziness, great big swatches of it. He also needed a unicorn hair. He always kept a few in his private store for emergencies.

He was on his way back to the dungeons when he ran into Harry Potter. "Lovely bunch of flowers, sir. Are they for anyone special?" Harry smirked, desperately trying to fight back laughter.

"Ten points from Gryffindor, Potter. Maybe that will teach you to mind your own business."

Harry gave Snape a look of defeat as Snape rounded a corner and disappeared from sight. Once he got back into the classroom, he threw the bunch of tulips into the cauldron. A few of them bounced off the edges and onto the floor. He rolled his eyes and walked into his private stores to grab the unicorn hair. When he came back out, he picked up the dropped tulips and put them into the cauldron along with the unicorn hair. Then he looked over at the sack of fuzziness.

"I hope that's enough."

He walked over to it, took it by it's opening and dragged it closer to the cauldron. He wasn't able to lift it up high enough so he dragged it away from the table, gave it a few good swings and launched it, having it land right next to the cauldron. He emptied enough of the fuzziness by hand that soon he was able to lift it up and dump the rest in. He grabbed a wooden spoon and proceeded to mix the Essence of Delicate Flower. He turned the flame down under the cauldron to allow it to simmer and then he left it to cool.

While he was grading essays, the Essence of Delicate Flower finished it's cooling. Standing before Snape was Delicate Flower herself.

"Next time, don't let Peeves get the fuzziness. I think this was wool and it's making me itch."

He looked up from his pile of parchments. "Well, it was that or Mrs. Norris."

Delicate Flower thought on this for a moment but didn't dwell on it long. "I'll take the itching. Thanks." She smiled at him, turned and walked out of the dungeon.

"Perhaps I'll try Angora next time."

Merry Christmas!

This is for Melissapetey31--

Melissapetey31

Quote:

"Excuse me, sir, but what do I have to make?"

"It would do you well to listen, Potter. It's the Essence of Melissa. Your directions are on the board. Now stop bothering me and get to work."

"And the ingredients--"

Severus cut off Harry's words with a swift point towards the table up front. On it sat passion, roses and love; all of the ingredients for the Essence of Melissa. He looked up at the instructions and added a hint of the passion, a spoonful of roses and topped it off with a few sprinkles of love.

Harry began to stir the mixture while reading the remainder of the directions. When he got to the part about the 'touch of Severus,' he froze. He stared wide-eyed at the blackboard. After a moment, he put his spoon down and walked up to Snape's desk. Snape didn't even look up until Harry addressed him.

"Excuse me, sir?"

"What is it, Potter?"

"Well, sir, the Essence of Melissa calls for, um," Harry swallowed hard, "a touch of, um, you for uh," he rolled his eyes, "added pleasure."

Snape smirked. "It hurts, doesn't it, Potter?"

"Yes sir. It does."

Snape reached into his desk and pulled out a small vial containing a small amount of gray, sludge-like liquid. Harry took it and looked at Snape with an air of confusion.

"Sir?"

"It's my essence, Potter. Use it."

Harry grimaced and held the vial at arm's length until he got back to his cauldron. He uncorked it, poured the touch of Severus in and continued to stir it over the heat of the flames.

"That's enough, Potter. Bottle your Essence of Melissa and hand your assignment to me."

Harry did just that, corking his vial just before handing it off to Snape.

"Now clean up your mess and get out of my dungeons."

Harry obliged again, eager to get out of the classroom as quickly as possible. When he walked out the door, Severus picked up the vial of Essence of Melissa and held it in his hand.

"Looks like Potter actually did something right. What an invigorating change."

Merry Christmas!

SlytherinSissa · 12-12-2006, 02:14 AM

This is for wild_prairie_gal--

wild_prairie_gal

Quote:

"Here are the ingredients, Weasley. Don't mess up."

Ron looked over the ingredients and the procedures and looked back up at Snape. "Sir, is this really a potion? It says I have to gift wrap it."

"That's what the Essence of Sophia calls for, Weasley. Just do it and stop asking questions."

"Yes sir."

Ron galnced over the directions again before grabbing the gallon of hypertonic and dumping it into the cauldron. He reached for the sugarbowl and took out what he considered a hint of sugar and added it to the potion. He mixed the two ingredients and let them sit while he grabbed the brilliantly sparkly orange wrapping paper from another table. With a perplexed look, he unrolled some of the wrapping paper and spread it over the table top. He still had no idea how he was going to wrap liquid.

Squinting as if the sun were in his eyes, or shielding himself from what could be a horrible sight, he poured the hypertonic/sugar mixture into the center of the paper. He expected it to splatter everywhere and was taken aback when it didn't. As he poured it, it formed a cube of liquid set perfectly and ready to be wrapped. He grabbed the roll of Spellotape and taped the wrapping paper around the solid liquid.

He now had a nice package that jiggled if he hit the table. He looked up at Snape who seemed to be engrossed in his work at his desk.

"Run!"

Ron's eyes snapped back to the package. The Essence of Sophia was talking to him. "What?"

"It's the last step! Take me and run!" When Ron didn't move, the Essence of Sophia screamed, "Now!"

Ron threw his bag over his shoulder, grabbed the nicely wrapped Essence of Sophia and ran out of the classroom door without saying anything to Snape. He didn't even look up at Ron bolted.

"For a moment there I thought Weasley wasn't going to follow directions again. Eh, ten points from Gryffindor for not living up to my expectations."

Merry Christmas!
