With the new year came an unexpected change in the staff. There's a new potions teacher and everyone can't help but notice how unorthodox she tends to be. Maybe she's not all that bad but the students can't help the suspicion that slowly creeps in. Things might have been better if they could point out exactly what it is about her that unnerves them but at the moment the only thing they have to go off of is her very famous saying "Pick your poison".
There is also something very unnerving about her jar that she keeps at the right hand corner of her table. Many have heard it bubbling but oddly enough they could all swear it's empty.
Why is it that they haven't learnt a single potion since the start of the term. Most important, who is Ms. Arscott and what does she have in store for them?
Okay guys so for this I'll need about six characters including myself to be the students that decide to find out what's going on. You should post a bio and until you do the character is not guaranteed to you. The only thing pre-determined is the characters names, houses and relationship but other wise feel free to be creative
A bit of background:
They are all fourth years and have been through a lot since the 1st year. At the moment the only functioning relationship exists between McKenzie and Adam. Aria and Eric have been on and off for a while and are currently off because she found him making out with a 3rd year during the first week back. Alexa and Carson have a kind of love hate relationship where everyone but them can see that they like each other. The snitch actually only tells on this set of students and this is because of a long standing rivalry between him/her (really doesn't matter) and Carson. Only 3 of them share a common house (Gryffindore) and that would be Carson, McKenzie and Adam. Aria is in Hufflepuff, Eric is in Ravenclaw and Alexa is in Slytherin (which made them distrustful of her for her entire first year).
Teacher:
Ms. Arscott- DaniDiNardo Pink
Girls:
Alexa Cambridge- DaniDiNardo Royal Blue
McKenzie Commone- Child of a Half-Moon Dark Orchid
Aria Southland- TakemetotheBurrow Indigo
Boys:
Adam Vyce- Siriusly_Demented
Eric Chestton- Rosa Chispa Princessa Red
Carson Grelic- EW_FAN Medium Torquoise
Santana Romanov (teacher's pet/snitch)- DeathEater1 Dark Red
And guys seriously, no one liners, this story is supposed to progress and be really fun and nothing is less fun than a one liner that everyone expects to carry the story. If you get stuck asked to be skipped or just take some time to think.

Usually we break up nd get back together in a weeks time but her seeing me kiss another girl has caused her to hate me and I hate myself for it too. I could not believe I was doing it even as I did it. I truly regrt it an regret doing something so shallow and hurting an innocent girl in the process. I have tried everything to get Aria to forgive me but nothing has worked. I know I deserve this from Aria but my heart aches for her. I just don't know what to do.", Eric explained and ended on the verge of tears.
Alexa blinked twice trying to make sense of what Eric had just told her. What exactly happened over the summer?! This was why they needed to keep in constant contact with each other even over the break. She couldn't help but think that if they were all at Hogwarts none of that would have happened but of course they couldn't just stay over at the school all summer and so they were bound to do bone-headed things like that.
Wow she managed to finally get out, that's terrible! No matter how angry you were with her that gave you no right-- she forced herself to stop. What was done was done and there was no changing that. He obviously felt bad enough for what he did without her rubbing it in any further and he more than likely didn't pull her inside the room so she could lecture him. She took a deep breath trying not to go overboard. Have you tried talking to her since then?

"I don't suppose you've been practicing your hexes, have you? Wouldn't want you getting rusty." He winked, and then made his way towards the Gryffindor table.

You know he doesn't like to talk about this kind of stuff in front of a crowd..." Even if they were all friends. Aria sighed, looking around. "And I guess now I should probably tell you lot, yeah?" And even though she knew they would say yes, she was selfishly hoping they'd say no.
Adam turned to Carson for a second. Just so we're clear you want to hear the big bad secret too right He said looking for reinforcement. Aria wasn't going to get away with not telling them especially since Eric had already gone and spilled it in private. They were a group and they needed to act that way.
His eyes landed on Aria again, Go on, start talking. Hopefully wouldn't be a total girl and start crying, that would have only made him look like the bad guy for pushing then he would have McKenzie and Alexa to answer too...yikes

Aria sighed, not waiting for Carson's answer. She knew they would want to know. Of course they would. Especially now that Eric had told Alexa. "It's not a big secret." She said, frowning. "Eric was mad at me and he-he wanted to hurt me so he met up with a younger girl he knew liked him and he-they-he kissed her." The fourteen year old wrapped her arms around herself as she talked, as if the action alone could protect her from getting hurt again. "I was there, in the shop where it happened. I saw it all." She looked at her friends, wondering what they would think of this, if they would be surprised. "I can't believe he'd do that...just to hurt me." It was cruel. And it had hurt Aria so it seemed he had succeeded in his plan after all. "Why would he do that?"

"I hzve but she won't have any of it. She just keeps running away from me. I sent her several owls but I never got a single owl back. I tried to corner her on the triain but she just poured her butterbeer on me and that was enough for me to tell how she feels. I don't know what more I can do. Perhaps I deserve this depression for what I did. But I hate seeing Aria so upset. I really just want her to be her happy go lucky self again. ....... I, I just don't know what to do anymore.", Eric said looking toward Alexa with tears in his eyes.

Alexa sighed. As selfish as she might have been thinking at the moment she wasn't going to allow them to ruin what might have been her best year ever. She didn't know why but it all just felt different which obviously meant that something good was about to happen but nothing good could happen while those two were still at odds with each other. Plus one of her bestfriends was hurt and she wasn't about to sit back and wait for them to fix things on there own--Merlin knew that would take ages.
She took one last look at her, now very emotional friend, before sighing again; she wouldn't let this go any further. In one swift motion she threw the door open and found her other friends listening to whatever it was that Aria was saying. Good with them clued in the process could go by much faster. She cleared her throat gesturing for Eric to step from the room. Somehow, some way, she would have to get them talking again, they both looked like a wreck. Honestly she could never understand what made them get together in the first place. All they ever did was hurt each other...but it was their choice and she wouldn't try to change that...she just wanted them talking again.

Eric saw Alexa look out the window just as he was puring out his heart. He found that a little rude and odd and then he saw who she was looking at. It was Aria and before he even got a response from Alexa she was leaving and motioning for him to follow. Eric felt quite a bit of apprehension about that. "Alexa, why are you leaving and why do you want me to come? Is something about me and Aria, please, please don't try to push me at her. Atleast talk to her first and make sure that she agrees to act civil with me cause I don't want anymore drinks on my head or perfume in my eyes.", Eric said as he followed Alexa out.

Aria was still waiting for a response from her friends when the door flung open, a very serious looking Alexa standing in the doorway. Aria raised her eyebrows at her friend, wondering what had caused such a reaction. She even chanced a glance at Eric, trying to read his face. She used to be quite good at that, reading how he felt by the way his eyes looked, or the way he stood. She wasn't so sure she was an expert anymore though. It appeared that he was freaked about something. It was probably her, or whatever he thought Alexa would tell her. Not that she blamed him, not really. She'd let her anger get the best of her lately, not able to be near him without acting on all the hurt and frustration she felt inside. It wasn't fair of her, but what he had done wasn't fair either.
Uncrossing her arms, Aria let them drop limply to her sides as she gave her friend a questioning look. "What's going on?"

Eric heard Aria asked the question of 'What happenened?', and he jumped at the chance to answer knowing she wwas less likely to do something horrible to him since she asked. Eric turned to Aria and said, "I was just telling Alexa about what happened over the summer and just how much I deeply regret. I really truly do.", Eric said with emploring eyes. "And I know that we should not get back together all that soon. What I did was horrible but I want to at least be freinds and earn you're trust back over time. Will you allow me that?", Eric asked hoping she would say yes.
elephant-astic•wanderlust•stay in the ninedaaays the original Taco Belle•look at the flowers✿
Aria was a bit shocked when Eric answered her instead of Alexa. She begrudgingly looked up at him, eyebrows raised. As she listened to him explain that he'd been telling Alexa what had gone on over the summer, the brunette's eyes wandered over to her best friend, wondering what she truly thought of the situation.
When he asked her if they could be friends again, Aria felt cornered. She looked around at the rest of their friends, knowing that they were hoping she would say yes. She could sense how badly Eric hoped she agreed as well. With a sigh, she dropped her gaze to the floor and shrugged. "I guess so." She said in a small voice, hugging herself again. She allowed her eyes to meet his again after a moment, trying to convey how much she was putting on the line by letting him in again. If he hurt her this time, that would be it. This was his last chance to get her back as a friend. As for anything more...Aria wasn't willing to consider that at the moment.

This is great! Alexa said, clearly satisfied by Aria's half hearted response. Even if she didn't mean what she said now, she would eventually because when it ll boiled down to it they were friends. Long after the relationships formed and ended they would still be friends and would still enjoy each other's company...or at least she hoped so. For now the thoughts would remain positive for the sake of her perfect year. Nothing could have or should have ruined it and now that these two had made up...well...sort of made up...that was one less obstacle.

And good for you Eric, that was a big thing for you to do, she said patting him on the cheek. He had taken the first step and as he had seen it worked just fine. Yeah, Aria still looked shocked but she had a feeling he would know how to fix that. Right now the halls were getting empty and they needed to get to their commons rooms before the pictures started gossiping. Whenever they did word always spread to the prefects quickly and left them in trouble for staying in the halls after hours.
So, have a good one guys. She said cheerfully. Believe it or not tomorrow school will officially start and it will be amazing so get some good sleep. Then she turned and walked towards that stairs leading to the Slytherin Common rooms. The sooner she fell asleep was the sooner tomorrow would come.

Eric's face lit up as he heard Aria give him even just a tiny door of leeway. He smiled and said, "I won't let you down, I promise. And I'll see you in the morning Aria", with that Eric walked onto the moving staircase and headed up. Before long he was at his dorm and getting ready for bed as happy as a clam. For the first time in a while he actually looked foward to tomorrow.

Aria didn't say any more as her friends reacted to what had just happened. Clearly Alexa was pleased, though Aria couldn't really blame her. It wouldn't be fun to have to be in the middle of the-the situation the entire term. Honestly, it was fun to be on any side of the situation so maybe letting it go was for the best. When Alexa said goodbye, Aria waved and then turned to Eric who was now talking to her again. She honestly wasn't used to it, especially after having avoided him for so long. "Yeah, see you tomorrow." She said calmly, looking him in the eyes. She then smiled at the rest of the group and waved, heading down to the Hufflepuff Common room. She wanted to write in her journal a bit before bed and the cozy armchair next to the fire was calling her name.

Okay, so to keep the story progressing it's assumed by now that they've all gone to their respective common rooms.
The days excitement left the students hopping about, hardly able to wait to disclose everything they did over the summer with each other. This mingling within the common rooms is cut short however when there was a call for all lights to go out. Soon after all students settled in for a good sleep; anxious of all the next day would bring. That was the thing with Hogwarts, no one dreaded the next day but rather they welcomed it with a smile and a wave of their wands.
The next morning after breakfast finds everyone rushing to their first class or already seated and waiting.
Welcome students. Ms. Arscott said with a wide smile. She was excited to see where this year would go. This being her first year of teaching she was still having a bit of second thoughts mainly out of the fear that she wouldn't be a very good teacher, but she had to push that behind her. Right now she had other things to worry about. Some of the students in her class seemed shocked and others...a little disappointed. Now she knew she was a new teacher and the students had to get used to her before things could progress but disappointment? Really? Welcome to Potions class and I look forward to teaching you all this year. My name is Prof. Arscott Positive thoughts only. This year was going to be...interesting considering all she had planned for them...interesting indeed...
Alexa was sure that after staring with her mouth open for a couple minutes her face had frozen that way. How else would you explain her not being able to compose herself? From the moment she walked into the room and took her seat she had fallen into shock that quickly turned into disappointment. What was that creature standing to the front of the class and where was her Professor? This wasn't making any sense. This was supposed to be a great year! She forced her friends into talking again to keep the term running smoothly and now this?! Would she ever get a break? All she could so now was wait for her friends to get to class and share in her disappointment; as she was sure they would--anyone would!

Eric was running so late. He could not believe how late he woke up for his first day of classes. He quickly drssed and headed down to the hall and grabbed some pasteries and shoved thenm down his throut as he ran toward the dungeons for potions. He go to the classroom and entered as the professor started to speak. He took a sat in the back and said nothing hoping the professor would not notice he arrived late.

Ahh, Mr. Chestton, so nice of you to grace us with you presence. Ms. Arscott said with a bright smile that hid very well the annoyance she felt for the clear disregard of her time by the young man that had just entered. Why, she remembered a time when punctuality used to mean something. Class this is exactly the kind of behaviour that I won't tolerate if we're going to have a good year. You'll soon find out that I have a bit of a time OCD, You've earned yourself a detention, now, She said pushing away from her desk and making her over to him with a small cap that seemed to contain something. She smirked Pick your poison.
Was this teacher being serious? Had Alexa really heard her tell her friend that? She was clearly out of line. Who gave detentions on the first day back? Could they even do that? She scoffed and rolled her eyes at the teachers final statement. What was up with that anyway? Pick your poison, really? This woman obviously had some kind of issues.
What was that? She asked turning her attention to Alexa. She had a feeling that one would give her a bit of grief. Before the girl could answer someone raised their hand. She acknowledged him with a nodd and nearly scratched her eyes out when the question was asked of what she held in her boiling cauldron that sat on the right hand corner of her desk. She forced on a smile. You've earned yourself a detention as well.
Alexa's eyes bulged wide. Is she serious? She couldn't help but mumble.
And so have you.

Aria had been more than surprised when she arrived to class and took her seat that there was a new Professor. Prof. Arscott? Who was this woman and where was their old beloved potions professor? Merlin's beard! Hopefully something bad hadn't happened. That wouldn't be good.
The brunette sat quietly in her seat near the windows, eyeing Alexa but not daring to speak or wave. She didn't have a feel for this professor yet and who knew what her temperament was like. As she was thinking this, she saw Eric stroll in late and shook her head. This wasn't good, wasn't good at all. And the fourteen year old was right, watching as he was given a detention. HUH? It was the first day of classes! Even if she was still a bit cross with the boy she hardly thought he deserved a detention. That was a bit harsh, yeah? This woman was clearly set on making an example of him and it was unfortunate. She already was getting a very bad vibe from her.
O__O Had the woman just given another detention to someone for asking a question? That was outrageous! Plus, now Aria was really curious about what might be in the cauldron...
She groaned when she heard Alexa mumble under her breath. If she had heard it from across the room, the professor must have-Yup. Another detention given. "That must be a record." She said aloud before realizing she'd done it. She cupped her hand over her mouth and glance nervously at her friends before turning her attention to the front again.

She said aloud before realizing she'd done it. She cupped her hand over her mouth and glance nervously at her friends before turning her attention to the front again.
Alexa stared with wide eyes at the statement her friend had dared to make aloud right after witnessing three students receive a detention without probably cause. Now there was only to wait for what would inevitable come next. She swallowed hard knowing that her friend would be doomed to the same fate and when she saw the teacher whip around she knew it was most definitely coming.
Ms. Arscott whipped around at the sound of another voice that was, in her mind, questioning her authority. Had none of these children been taught anything about manners and respect? she could feel her face contort into a cruel smile. Barely 15 minutes into the class and things were already getting interesting. If she had known that they were so ill-behaved then she could have cut her curriculum in half and still accomplish the same goal! I must say this comes as a bit of shock Ms. Southland. From your previous Professor's records you seem to be one of the most behaved students... She shrugged. Then again a summer can do a lot to people, wouldn't you agree. She said, as her smile turned into a knowing one. In any case you've earned yourself a detention. She then turned to the rest of the class with an exasperated sigh. Now before we begin the lesson is there anyone else that wants to join them tonight?

Eric knew he deserved detention but the rest test of his friends had done nothing wrong. And did the woman really say pick you're. "Um, mam, "I really would rather not drink any potion that I know nothing about. I would rather take extra days of detention if that is what it costs me!".

Ms. Arscott let out a slightly psychotic laugh. leave it to students to take everything and put it into a literal meaning. When she was able to compose herself she turned to him again, this time tilting the cap so he could get a look at the contents inside. Just a few pieces of paper, each representing a different poison. Such a silly statement. Depending on the poison you pick you might go through a different type of detention. Now the more you know about poisons is the less likely you are to pick a punishment that might have you walking through the forbidden forest looking for horklumps all night. She inched the cap towards him once more. Now please, pick your poison but then she turned to the class because she had something else to say. This year I recommend you all pay very close attention to everything I teach in this class--just to be on the safe side of course.

Eric was starting to get a bit scared as he heard the professor laugh maniacally but then breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that all he was doing was picking out a piece of paper representing a poison. Well atleast for now. Eric put his hand into the cup and picked out a piece of paper and looked at it, it was light pink. What on Earth could that mean? He was certainly not gonna ask his crazy professor cause he really did not think she would tell until his detention anyway, great.

Aria literally cringed when she saw the smile the Professor was now giving her. Merlin's beard, she had really done it now! She did her best to meet the woman's gaze, ready to accept whatever was in store for her now. The fourth year frowned when Arscott commented on her good behavior and how the summer might have changed things. Seriously? What did she know about Aria's summer? She couldn't possibly understand what had-O_o And WHY was she looking at her like she did know everything that had went wrong? It gave Aria a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. When punishment was handed out, Aria simply nodded and looked down at her desk. This would be her first detention EVER and her dad would never forgive her. How was she supposed to make it up to him? Not even her perfect grades impressed him and this? THIS was going to make things even worse between them.
Aria watched the scene play out between Eric and the new professor quietly, wondering what was going to happen next. Good, so he wasn't going to be poisoned...not that she cared or anything. But wait, had she just threatened them? What did she mean by 'on the safe side'? One thing was for sure, this class was quickly becoming one she wished she didn't have to take.

This is ridiculous! Alexa exclaimed. She was already in trouble so she might as well had spoken her mind. We've never learnt about poisons before so how are we supposed to know which colours to avoid until you finally decide to teach us something?! This made no sense. Knowing your poisons would save you from picking a horrible punishment but they didn't know any kinds of poisons--it was never on the curriculum! This woman must have been out of her mind to think that this was a fitting punishment for coming to class late--and talking out of turn apparently and she couldn't accept it. I for one am not picking a poison from your hat because I know nothing about poisons and would rather spend my nights sleeping rather than combing a forest that we're prohibited from entering under normal circumstances just to find you a stupid horklump so you might as well send me to the dungeons or something else. She had that stubborn look on her face again. The one she always had when she most definitely wasn't pleased with something. One thing was for sure, she really missed her old Potions Professor.
Ms. Arscott smirked as she turned to meet the determined gaze of the student. This one had spunk she would give her that. Well maybe if you lot had all sought to learn something before causing trouble I would have been able to get through my first lesson then you wouldn't find yourselves in such an ignorant mess. She stretched the cap towards her, Now, pick your poison. I haven't got all day and would like to teach the more disciplined students in my class a valuable lesson on poisons. She nudged her with the cap but when she didn't respond even then the teacher smiled. The pink one? What an excellent choice! She threw the slip of pink paper unto her desk then made her way to the next recipient of the detention.

Eric really did not like the look on the professors face as she looked at the color of his paper. And just as he suspected she gave no clues of what it meant. Then he heard Alexa speak up. He knew this would not end well and he wanted walk over to her and tell her to be quiet and just accept this but he was in too much trouble as it is. He looked over toward Aria and saw that she was unhappy as the rest but she looked like she was gonna be quiet about it. If Aria spoke up and the professor pounced Eric was not sure what he would do but it would not be pretty.

Adam walked in late as usual completely clueless as to what was going on morning folks adam says with a grin which slowly fades as he realized the class was unusually still what? still no one answers him so he turns to the lady standing in the centre of the room .mentally giving himself a headslap to the back of his head as he realized he was interrupting an important lecture
