"Now, if it's a serious physical injury, maybe using ingredients from the Befuddlement Draught or the Draught of the Living Death such as Valerian roots or lovage could help turn the draught into an anaesthetic as well." "Indeed, good." She said. Quote:

It's because because people demand too much of it's horns.
Next question.
Jonathan carefully recalled the ingredients that were called out. "Aconite" he said "is known by it's other names as wolfsbane and monkshood" that he is sure of. He heard his father said that once "Aconite is a common ingredient for Wolfsbane potion" obviously. "That potion can be able to ease or reduce symptoms of" what was the animal or creature again? Jonathan thought... "... Lycanthropy or werewolf"
Ohhh he should also think of something creative and create his own potion... Hmmmm... He looked at his parchment and tried recalling which ingredient belonged to which potion... "Yes, wolfsbane potion is a complex one to make... but we do have most of the ingredients on the grounds." She said. Quote:

From what she could see on the list and what she could remember... "You could probably make some sort of calming potion." Probably not THE calming potion, but something similar. Hmm, like tea. "Yes, good." She replied. Quote:

"Indeed you can." She said moving to the next student. Quote:

Simon looked at the Professor and smiled this was his sort of question. "Well how about a potion that will kill all the people you hate." Simon smiled, well he was just answer the question and he couldn't think what the potion was called. Her eyes narrowed at the boy. "Five points for cheek. Talk about that again and your house will hate you." Quote:

No wonder people said this professor was scary. Ryden, on the other hand, was beginning to think that she might not be just a professor. Perhaps there WAS some sort of conspiracy going on? Hmm.
"You could make the Confounding Concoction, professor," Ryden said as she eyed the list of ingredients. It was the first thing that came to her mind that contained all of the ingredients. But why were there no ingredients in the storeroom again? Something about a fire?
She'd have to ask Koala Boy sometime. "You could indeed." She said Quote:
Originally Posted by Starbreeze There were plenty of potions that could be brewed with those ingredients, although most would need additional ingredients. Some would have to be modified, but still manageable. He raised his hand. "Getafix's Potion, also known as the Strength-Enhancing Potion, could be brewed using some of those ingredients." Of course, it wouldn't be as good as it had to be because certain ingredients were missing, but it would still work to a certain level. "Daisy roots, snake fang powder, nettles, asphodel, and bezoars, and caterpillar cocoons are common ingredients in the potion." The ingredients necessary to brew it weren't rare, but the brewing process was extremely difficult and only potion experts could achieve the perfect result. Everything else worked as a mere energy booster, which didn't last for very long. "Very good, Master Uronen..." She said nodding. Quote:

After a short break, Gwendolyn added:' But for the Boil-Cure Potion we would need plenty of other ingredients, like Flobberworm Mucus, nettles, Porcupine quills' "Yes, all good potions." She said. Quote:

Whoa, that was a long list. At mandrakes, he raised his hand. "Mandrake Restorative Draught, professor," he offered, definitely too lazy to check the rest of the list for a more creative potion. "Yes, that is a good one." She told the girl. Quote:

Lost in his thoughts, he shook his head to clear away his distracting thoughts and raised his hand.
"Well dittany is used for healing, right? So you could make some sort of healing potion with that, I'm assuming," he explained. "It is... and yes healing potions are made with commonly found ingredients." she told him. Quote:
Originally Posted by AuroraQuinn Aurora nodded, "Yes, we saw it in her lesson." she confirmed.
Aurora frowned a little with concentration. "You could make a Silvertongue Draught." she said, grinning. It was such a cool potion an had got her out of many tight places... She nodded. Quote:
Originally Posted by Presley Black Properly chastised, Presley was going to answer this next question. She thought for a long moment. Peppermint....hot chocolate? No. Not a potion. Maybe it was used to make a mask of some sort of other potion? That could be valid. Presley raised her hand. "This isn't a specific potion, professor, but could Peppermint be used to mask the taste and or smell of another potion?" Her dad had always used peppermint tea to cover the taste of nasty healing potions. "It can, Miss Black, but that doesn't answer my question." She said. Quote:
Originally Posted by Reincarnation Jones What potions are they used in? Ah! She asked that the first time. You know this! You know this.
Carr closed her eyes to think hard about the question. "Uh, well, neither ingredient is really... necessary in most potions. They can be used as correctives. If you stir in beetle's eyes in the opposite direction as your last stir, it can offset problems caused if you accidentally stirred too many times. And... tubeworms sliced the right way can be used to counteract complications created by heating your potion on a setting that lower than you should have."
She opened her eyes, then, smiling. That's right, isn't it? "Yes, but that doesn't answer the question I asked." She said. Quote:
Originally Posted by Samira Malfoy Potter Samira surveyed all the potions carefully. Her eyes immediately landed on 'Peppermint', and she raised her hand. "Professor, peppermint can be used in a lot of potions to improve the taste...or it can also be used in Pepperup Potion to improve the taste when you're sick." "Yes, pepperup potion." She said nodding. Quote:

I'm not quite sure if we have boomslangs on our grounds, but most of the other ingredients needed might be in our reach," she said. Oh no. Was that right? Duh.......of course not!!!!!!! Boomslangs are from Africa.....not from Hogwarts. "I'm not sure if McFusty has boomslangs... But that's a good one." she added. Quote:
Originally Posted by Anna Banana Sierra studied the list of ingredients and then flipped through the potions journal she'd started keeping last school year. She kept most of her notes from class in there. She ran her finger along the list of ingredients, comparing them to the ones on the board.
Then she raised her hand. "The jobberknoll feathers, lovage, scurvy grass, mandrake root, and flobberworm mucus were all used in the..." She paused. What in the name of Merlin was the pronunciation of that potion again? She lowered her hand and looked from her notes to Professor Lafay then back again. "...the Shaharazalm Potion you taught us last school year," she answered. "Yes, Miss Greingoth." She said. "Good memory." Quote:

He placed the thumb and middle finger of his left hand on his temples as he tried to remember a certain potions ingredient. He thought of Moondew, but he could not remember if that could be found on the Hogwarts Grounds, and he was hesitant in remembering which potion it was used for. After a few moments, however, he figured he might as well say something than nothing at all. Sighing, he raised his hand into the air.
"Professor, I believe you can find Moondew in the Forbidden Forest. It is an ingredient found in the Wiggenweld Potion as well as Draught of Living Death, I think." He wished he could remember more of what he'd learned last term. He lowered his hand, hoping his answer could suffice in some sort of manner. "Very good." She said to the boy. Quote:

"O.k." she said and moved to the next student. Quote:

Wait...were there eagles in the Owlery!? Kurumi would need to head back up there soon. Still, eagles had exceptional eye-sight, and their feathers were light and airy and could perhaps provide swiftness to a potion...
Kurumi's train of thought continued as Professor Lafay asked her next question and her eyes scanned the ingredients on the board again. "Using eagle owl feathers, bat eyes, cat whiskers, finely chopped hellebore, and peppermint one could make the Optics Draft. It enhances the drinker's vision, especially in dark places or at night. owl eyes and cat whiskers are also easily attainable on the Hogwarts grounds." "Excellent Miss Hollingberry." She said. Quote:

"I think, Professor, if you boiled the Dittany and the Belladonna together and then added crushed Nettles you could make a Bunion Cream."
She screwed up her nose at the thought. "Yes. Gross, but yes." She said. Quote:
Originally Posted by Pokah Face Luckily, Roderigo had managed to write down all of the ingredients the students had mentioned, including his own.

"Asphodel and Dittany. . ." he muttered to himself as he scribbled furiously. He raised his hand slowly as he tried to formulate his response. But then he put it back down. He crossed off a few things on his parchment and began scribbling again. After a few moments, he grinned at his handiwork and his hand shot into the air.
"Professor," he said, smiling. "If you were to mix Dittany with Snake Fangs, Hellebore, and stewed Mandrake, you could make a powerful reviving potion, couldn't you?" He was almost sure he was correct, but Potions was not one of Roderigo's best fortes. "Yes, you could." She said. Quote:
Originally Posted by ArianaBlack Okay so Nika got lucky for remembering the hellebore thing. But after being lucky once it wasn't happening again. She had no idea what potion they could make especially with all of these random ingredients. So she read them over a few times trying to come up with her own potion of sorts... Maybe if she got lucky it would actually be a real potion. "I bet if we mix all of the ingredients together it would make one nasty killing potion or something..." She said with a shrug. Hey it could work? "What is it with this idea of killing? Just because you fail at potion, poisoning people is not a success. Five points from you as well." She said. Quote:
Originally Posted by cheeseStrings Janice wasn't sure if her answer was right, but she had to give it a try. She raised her hand, and answered.
"How 'bout the Mandrake Solution? We do 'have mandrakes, right? And the Bezoar. All we have to do is force it down someone's throat, and he or she will be cured, is it?"
She thought for a while, then added.
"And the shrivelling potion. We could use the daisy roots, caterpillars, and the leeches..." "Yes..." she said and moved on. Quote:

Looking up from her notes, she raised her hand and answered. "Belladonna boiled in a vial of mother's tears can create one of the most potent calming potions." It was a lesser known recipe, simple as it was. Maybe because noone bothers to collect a mother's tears... "Don't forget catnip..." she said. "Essential." Quote:

"We can use bezoars and flobberworm mucus for a simple antidote, for common poisons," she said with her hand raised. That was the only potion that ran through her mind at the moment. "Very good." She said and then addressed the whole class.
"Very good." She repeated "All of you."
"Homework." She said taking a breath. "Worth 15 points." She said. "You are to go out on the grounds and retrieve five of the ingredients mentioned or even some you find along he way. Then return them to the stores by our next class. I am counting on you. I intend to have us brew in our next class... so do well. Dismissed." ooc: This class was shorter than my usual classes because it's worth a few less points. By doing so, my homework is worth more (15 points.) To receive points I need to see a MINIMUM of 6 total posts: 5 on the grounds somewhere retrieving the five potion ingredients, one in the open potions stores leaving off your potions followed by a PM with user id and the links. Due two weeks from this post.
