 Potions 2
The class is the same with the proper chairs with soft cushions to sit and lean back on, and they are still are charmed to take the most comfortable shape and height once a student is seated. The walls are still a soft, calming blue. There are one big, grey rubbish bin by the door and a white, porcelain washbasin with a tap for those who wants to wash their hands before/after the class and who can't perform 'Aguamenti' charm.
Before you enter the room, however, you are greeted by a big, red, sparkling heart hanging from the door and brushing your hair as you pass under it. You can't decide if it's horrible, embarrassing or both. Touching it brings good luck... says your professor. 
The door is open 15 minutes before the class time. Professor Culloden is nowhere to be seen, and his table is completely empty for... y'know, whatever you brought. OOC: If you are going to RP your characer use the washbasin or the bin, you don't have to take Cosgrach's permission. Just assume he has granted it.
The class has begun, so please do not announce late arrivals but just RP as if your character has been here all along.  Class progress Question!

Instructions- Prepare the sneezewort, alihotsy and moonstone.
- Fill the cauldron with purified water and add the sneezewort petals

- Stir 8 times clockwise with a metal stick
- Add the berries of atropa bellandonna one by one

- Wave your wand. The colour should turn to dark red
- Wait for 25 minutes for pewter cauldrons, 13 for brass and 8 for copper

- Stir vigorously clockwise with a metal stick until the colour is purple

Extra notes- Love potions cause a infatuation or obsession for the brewer or the first person seen. Amortentia is the most powerful of them.
- The duration of the effects (usually up to 24 hours) vary depending on factors such as the weight of the person drinking the potion and the attractiveness of the person with whom the potion is supposed to make the drinker obsessed. The effects wear off naturally over time, but can be renewed by administering further doses of potion. Therefore, there is no overdose.
- The effect is near instantaneous: the drinker appears "pale and sickly" and becomes obsessed with the brewer or the first person seen and excited or dangerously unstable towards others.
- A hate potion can cancel out love potions and vice versa. There is also a proper antidote.
- The brewer doesn't have to be present for the effect if it's that sort of love potion.
- The drinker does not forget what he or she did while under its influence.
- Love potions mature over time; so the longer it is kept, the stronger it will be.
- Amortentia's characteristics are a distinctive mother-of-pearl sheen and spiral steams. Its aroma is different for everyone and reminds each person of the things that they find most attractive, even if they don't acknowledge or are unaware of their fondness themselves.
- The smell of Amortentia can change as you see new things and people.
- Life advice from Blaise Bellaire: You should NEVER give a love potion to a girl who's bigger than you and throws a harder punch 'cause when it wears off she'll remember everything and beat the living Circe out of you. It causes strong dislike after.
