Actually, this was better. Not controlling the students that much, not seeing their failures, not trying to correct them - he felt light. And these were the last two steps. If a cauldron hadn't exploded until now, surely they can manage last two steps as well?

Well. Right. Yes.

He waved his wand at the wand and the last steps appeared.

"Now, add the spider. Then add one crocodile tooth, wait until the potion grumbles, then add the second. Clean your workspace, but leave your cauldrons here. It'll take the potion about three days to mature. For now it'll be bright red. When it turns your favourite colour, it's ready to be drunk. If bright red is your favourite colour, make a friend look at it, because the potion changes colours according to who's looking at it. I'll lock the classroom after you leave, so don't you worry." Was that clear enough? Hopefully. He waved his wand again, and the properties of the potion appeared.

"It also has another effect: not only will you hate the first person you see, but you will also act so terribly towards them that they will probably hate you back. It will sharpen your tongue, so if your friend criticises everything after I post the homework, don't be quick to judge them." Now, he HAD warned them. "The taste is bitter and will remain for a day..." He paused to think what else he could say. "You'll also feel fatigued once the effect wears off. That's it, I believe. Oh, and the duration is roughly 3 to 5 hours."

Now, be good, don't explode anything and everyone be happy.


OOC: You have 24 hours from the time of this post to finish the potion. ^___^

The people that messed up: Your potions are red too, though not that bright.

So nothing should explode? Awww. Well, besides the student's emotions. That was going to be interesting. Like a crazy documentary or a zombie movie with a bunch of jump scares. Except it would be completely nonfiction and terrifying.
What if someone shorter --like her-- started hating someone with a bunch of muscles or someone who was tall, like taller than that new French student who's name she would never learn to pronounce? Eeep! At least it would only be three hours of craziness. Well, three to five. And then a bunch of tired people. So that would be good.

Adding in the last ingredients. The crocodile and the spider. Simple enough, and an incredible mark that this was potions. What other class, muggle or different involved crocodile teeth and spiders? None, that's what. Also the whole potions thing was kind of cool. The whole chemistry thing. Maybe the eleven year old should consider a science career. That seemed to be her THING.

Also, he never answered her question. Yes, it was chemistry. She had to learn that like everyone else. But WHAT about chemistry? What made it react in chemistry? Like Hydrogen and Oxygen made water, but like what abbbbbooouut them made water? What bonded? Hopefully this would be explained later. Because it was bothering her. And Ophelia was naturally curious, so she was going to find out somehow.

What color was this? She was color confused, and it made this whole thing very confusing. She couldn't see shades of red and green, which made this whole red thing annoying. Could someone heeelp her? Or was she supposed to wait until it turned blue, her favorite color, and the color she could actually see? The second one sounded good. Finishing up her potion, the girl looked at her work station and sighed. Too much sterilization! Didn't that create like super germs or something? She read somewhere that it did.
