He levitated a basket filled with small clear tubes with corks down the aisles. Inside the tubes was a measure of clear liquid. "I ask that each of you take a phial of potion from the basket. Drink it only if you have taken a love potion. Those of you who have not yet had the opportunity to use your potion may stay after class if you still wish to sample your results, and may take this antidote after you have done so." Kazimeriz smirked a little. "Be warned, the antidote is very, very bitter... For the loss of love, even manufactured love, is always a bitter, even painful experience."

He began to pace a little as he spoke. "From the grumbling I have heard, I suspect that many of you are displeased with this little... opportunity... I have provided to experience love potion first hand. I want you all to understand why this opportunity was provided to you. Love potion is, without a doubt, among the most dangerous of potions-- as you have experienced today, it robs you of reason and causes impetuous, reckless behavior, even causing some to be moved to dueling... and often, dueling to the death is not unheard of over that most dangerous of emotions, love."

"In spite of the dangers of love potion, it is an uncontrolled potion -- easy to obtain and simple to administer. Witches and wizards who have not personally gone through the pain and suffering that manufactured love brings often unblinkingly will use this potion on the unsuspecting object of their affection, and the result is rarely good. It is liquid betrayal and ends up hurting both the administrator and the consumer most times it is used, and so I caution you to think before you reach for it in pursuit of your true love."

"So, if it is so dangerous, why did I ask my class to take it? I prefer that my students be exposed to this potion in a controlled classroom setting, with a partner they are not already emotionally invested in, so you can feel the effects first hand -- and will be moved never to use it. I hope you will also learn to be vigilant -- wizards and witches alike -- in any setting in which someone might slip a love potion into your food or drink, and most of all to recognize the symptoms of a love potion's influence. Most of you probably experienced a strong surge of emotion that seemed without rational basis, and you may have also noticed a vague, momentary tingling sensation and a bit of warmth in your cheeks. You may have ascribed these feelings to being close to the object of your affection. Be alert! When these symptoms appear and you seem to have an unnatural , obsessive interest in someone who historically has not been interesting to you romantically, you may be the victim of love potion."

Kazimeriz continued pacing. "For those of you who have now experienced this insidious potion first hand... Knowing how it feels to consume love potion, would you ever use it on a love, a friend or a foe? Why or why not? When is its use acceptable to you? It is a complex ethical question, and I would like to hear your opinions on the matter."

The professor's lecture had been great, but Keeley wanted to be able to move. Now! She still had no idea of what she had been doing while she was under the influence of the potion, but the affects were long gone. Sure, the professor had stopped future curses, but he hadn't noticed her, frozen on the floor. With a killer headache and a bruise. If only she could move her eyes, just to make eye contact with someone. Well, once everyone had gotten the cure, hopefully one would notice her and fix her.
