Right in front of her.
Mean old professor! That nasty smell probably wasn't even the cauldron. It was probably her own meanness oozing out of her skin. He got up, gathering his things and shooting Anni a sad look. At least it got him away from the she-snakes. Though Gold seemed nice enough.
With a sigh, he shuffled slowly toward his desk of doom, front and center.
At least he could earn some points for Ravenclaw. He raised his hand. "Oh! Oh! Professor! It's cooties! Girls are scared of cooties!" he knew he had this one right! ... she blinked. "Yes." She chuckled. "Those are frightening..." Quote:

Destiny turned to the boy with the purple hair and grinned..if he thinks sitting next to her and her friends was bad, wait until he had to sit next to Lafay. Hehe.
Turning back to the Professor as she spoke, Destiny noticed the smirk, and..why was she smirking? Sweet Merlin, the Professor had something planned. Probably something horrible if they didn't get the question right! Well..she raised her hand slowly, "Ugh..cooties!?"
Yeah, Destiny was scared of them.
So? "Well... seems Miss Shepard confirms..." She shook her head. Quote:

She guessed clueless, her only two fears were flying on brooms and her friends/family being hurt.. but she was logical and most girls weren't. Merlin... "Yes..." She shook her head, "that would upset a girl. Still not what I'm looking for." Quote:

Amy raised her hand, she thought before responding, hoping it didn't sound stupid, we're afraid of being alone, of having no one? or at least I am, Amy thought darkly, her brain may be wired differently though, she could come up with just a few weird things without even trying "That's a good one... still not what I'm looking for." She said nodding. Quote:

Rolling her eyes, Miranda raised her hand. "Professor, I'd say it's wasting precious time having to deal with anyone who gets in your way." Like, what else could it be? She could imagine the things the boys were saying were right for some girls, but not for Miranda.
Meh, whatever. What were they doing today? Hm? "Not exactly a fear... but it's something to annoy you... Certainly annoys me." She smirked. Smart kid... Quote:
Originally Posted by Eli Jarod Eli looked at the boy skeptically. Girls their age didn't care about love or hearts! Did they? Naw.
Another thought occurred to Eli. "Oh! And they are scared of boggarts and the dark and... and bugs! All girls are scared of bugs, they make them scream. Also, I know a girl who is scared of kappas." Okay, so it wasn't a girl. Ok... So it was Eli himself. Probably girls were scared of things if even he was scared of them!
Points points points, yummy points, Professor LaFlame was gonna give him a jillion zillion points for Ravenclaw for all his brilliant insight! "Right..." Ok... this kid was cute, even she could tell. "Those are scary, still not what I'm looking for." Quote:

'Uh, being unpopular?' she said, putting her hand up. Not that she was herself, but she knew lots of girls - and boys, for that matter - who most definiely were.
Anni smiled sadly at Eli as he moved beside the Proffessor. But at least he was away from those Slythie girls, that was a start. She laughed as he said girls were scared of cooties, though. How silly! Hmmm, what was she scared of? "Right, but not what I'm looking for." She said. Quote:
Originally Posted by feltbeatslover22 Trixie looked down a little as the professor smiled at her. Well at least she wasn't in a setting people on fire mood. She raised her hand up sheepishly. Se didn't like the fact some people were going on about looks and popularity and stuff. "For me Professor, and I'm sure it is probably a lot of people's fear in here would be loosing someone they loved" she replied. Whether that be someone sadly passing away or loosing a boyfriend. "Or being dumped" she added quietly on the end. Se had to get some stereotype in there somewhere didn't she? Oh and Fire. Scary stuff that was.
She glared slightly at Oliver. Pfft Breaking a nail? He should know that she couldn't care less when she was climbing that tree with him. And blimey she broke loads in Qudditch. Gah. Such a hypocrite. "Good, that's something to be afraid of." She said nodding. Quote:
Originally Posted by Walrus What?... A girls biggest fear. What did that have to do with potions?
Jacob shook his head, and thaught about it... How was he supposed to know?! Jacob raised his hand and said. "Love and rejection?" He said... well asked "Right... good fear, not what I want though." She said Quote:

Oops, it appears Marie had forgotten to acknowledge the professor when she walked into the room... or maybe she was just ignoring the woman. Nevertheless, she couldn't very well ignore her now since she was speaking to her directly. "Hello... Professor," she said then turned her attention back to the purple haired thief.
Oh crap!
He had to go sit up front... too bad for him. He would have been better off sitting by them but now he had to go sit by Profesor I'll light you on fire and make you go bald. And the boy thought they were scary, he hasn't seen anything yet.
Oh Merlin, and she was making Gold go back to her seat too. Oh well, now Marie, Destiny, and Evelyn had the table to themselves.
She started to wrote down some notes as the others said what they thought girls were afraid of. She giggled a little when someone mentioned Cooties, and even more when Destiny said it too. Of course she would say that. Not wanting to even be in the class she just continued to listen and not offer any answers. Unless she was spoken to directly she was not going to participate in class discussions today, nope not one word. She smirked. Quote:

It was true.
So true.
Other girls were vicious and nasty and stole best friends and boyfriends and stuff.
Yeah, Jake watched TV during his christmas vacation at home... She laughed. "Yes, some girls are afraid of other girls... especially the smart ones." She said. Quote:
Originally Posted by hermygirl She supposed she should probably input to this discussion, though, being a Captain and a role model. Meh. "Stereotypically," she said with an extra emphasis, "It's probably something along the lines of getting a spot and not having an outfit to wear when going out... Or creepy crawlies." She paused. "But for me personally, and fear is personal, Raiden's got it about right." "Right... not what I'm looking for." She said. Quote:
Originally Posted by Balvir What in the world did a girls biggest fear have to do with Potions? Zane thought to himself. "Would it be getting into trouble or not being good enough in school?" Zane asked, raising his hand. He knew that wasn't a gender thing, but it was the best he could do. "Right..." she said. "Not what I'm looking for though." Quote:

But when she'd seen that there seemed to be no commotion inside, at least for now, she'd stepped into the classroom hesitantly and taken a seat near a few particularly friendly and protective prefects.
Sadly, that was where her courage had dwindled and she had nodded her head respectfully rather than try to greet the Professor in her probably very shaky voice.
But that had been then, now Ivory had had time to calm her worry-wort nerves and concentrate on the matter at hand. The class. She had the utmost respect and love for the subject, and it was at the very least something she knew Kazimeriz, were he here, would not have wanted her mind wandering on and would rather have had her mind put to learning. Which is just what she did.
Clearing her throat, she tuned in to what the Professor was saying and raised her hand. "Possibly being alone? Or not fitting in?" "Right..." she said. "Not what I'm looking for though." Quote:

Cooties, and family being hurt or not being pretty enough.. man too many problems in a female's life.. Alex hide her face in her embarassed way trying not to laugh hysterically at all the answers, some people had no clue what they were saying. Why were the snakes not answering? Quote:
Originally Posted by individual A girl's biggest fear? Wouldn't it depend on the girl? She was pretty sure her biggest fear was different then Destiny's, who's biggest fear was probably different then Marie's.
However, she had to resist a laugh at the Ravie boy. Even though he was sitting up in the front, his answer just reminded her of Destiny. On the other hand, she got really quiet when she heard Josh speak. Jooooooosh! There was now an empty seat at their table. He should...totally sit with them.
Listening to other answers, she most likely agreed with the ones about beauty and hearts broken and such. Seems girls would fear boy troubles the most right? Anyone else? She said looking at Flores. Quote:

''Excuse me'' he said with a tone that all class could hear, grinning at the boy ''But i know a girl who is far braver than many people. She is not scared of the things you have said. I also know a girl who likes spiders and what about Slytherin girls who are always close to the dungeons? I don't think they would be scared of darkness, definitely not but... '' he stopped, looked around and went on ''they might be scared of losing their beauty.'' hehehe "Ahhh... Beauty..." She said touching her nose. "That's what I'm looking for." She said. Quote:
Originally Posted by Eli Jarod "Ooh, that's true! Girls are sooo scared of The Ugly, Professor!" Maybe they were making Uglifying potions. If so, the Slytherin she-snake bullies wouldn't need to take it, ha ha ha oh, not so funny. Especially since they were all really pretty, if you went for that vicious and scary type. Eli did not.
Eli was glad Ellie wasn't hearing him make such broad comments about girls. She was a hundred million times braver and tougher than he was, after all. She would crush him for his generalizations, on principle. She laughed. "Yes, some girls are." Quote:
Originally Posted by noodles  Erm... Pretty? Cue the pink tinge at the base of Oliver's neck.
He attempted to smooth out his expression.. which he did for all of five seconds before his lip curled upwards again with disgust. "Can we use a bubblehead charm on ourselves, Professor?" He asked seriously.. cos that stench was just.. yuch.
What did girls hate? Having their foreheads slap slaaapied? Meh. It wasn't really fear.. more a loathing. What did Cam fear? Ravenclaws? Bookdusk? But then Cam wasn't exactly your average teenage girl, was she?
He raised his hand. "Breaking a nail, miss? Being hugely unpopular? Or perhaps.. a bad hair day?" Losing their hair completely? hehehe. "All correct and both the nail and the bad hair day are related to beauty and personal looks." She said noting the boy was starting to blush. "What about you, you ever have a bad hair day?" She smirked. Quote:
Originally Posted by xiiWishiWasYours Selena chuckled. "Breaking a nail?" she said a bit jokingly, "Or is it getting a pimple or zit?" she asked. She always thought beauty was just skin deep. It didn't last. They would eventually age anyways. "Right... again... appearance." She said Quote:

Raiden bit his tongue on this one, though it took effort. Respect. It was hard to conjure up for this woman, especially because of the paranoia that she'd once more do something to her class participants that she hadn't asked about.
He glanced at Nia, unable to even conjure so much as a smile to throw her direction, and suppressed his uneasiness when Gold put herself next to him.
He knew she liked this coocoo of a professor. It wasn't hard to tell. What was difficult to figure out was why someone who was usually so intelligent didn't realise how much of a loony she was approving of.
"Not every girl is so insecure in her looks," he murmured, looking around the classroom at those suggesting it. "Some are more worried about failing their OWLs or other more important things. Like their friends, and how to keep them safe."
They were stereotyping an entire gender just then, the lot of them. Ridiculous. Daphne Hopton would've been more worried about her friends and her own well-being were she in this classroom, he was sure of it. More so than her level of prettiness. "No, not every girl is, you are right. But you can't deny a lot are." She said nodding to the boy. He was answering well, and not being cheeky. That was good. "And yes, I was frightened I wouldn't do well on my Runes NEWT, that was my worst subject." She said nodding. "But that's not what we're doing here."
She looked over the kids and said "We're going to be brewing a fattening potion." She laughed. "I am going to cure everyone of their fear of 'the ugly' as Master Jared so masterfully put it. We're all going to brew a potion, and you are all going to drink it. You may sit this one out, but you wont receive participation points if you do so." She said and rolled her eyes. "The foul smelling potion is the antidote. I will give you a phial of it when we're done." She said. "Questions?"
