Jasmine was busy thinking about the essential part of most antidotes when hands shot up all around her. Mandrake was clearly the most popular answer, but that seemed to be too easy. Was this a trick question? Since that answer had already been given, Jasmine kept quiet. She listened to the other answers that her classmates presented and wrote notes as the conversation moved along. Everyone made good points because there were many ways that you could interpret that question.

When the last answer was given, Professor Professor Culloden weighed in on the responses and revealed their final activity. O______O Was he kidding? They had to drink poison and then brew an antidote for their partner......while feeling the effects of their potion. Seriously? This did not sound like fun.......at all. On top of everything, they had to work with a partner. Jasmine preferred to work alone, especially in Potions. There were fewer distractions and she was able to concentrate much better that way. Oh well, she really didn't have any choice this time, did she? Jasmine looked around the room, trying to find someone that she could partner up with. This was going to be a challenge.

Hearing a girl ask for a partner, Jasmine turned to her. "I need a partner, would you mind working with me?" She hoped not because she really wanted to get started on this task and get it over as quickly as possible. "I'm Jasmine", she said to the girl. Was she good at brewing potions? Jasmine hoped so because she didn't want to be under the effects of a potion any longer than necessary. The Professor would help out if there was any problem, right?
