| | |  Potions Lesson 1
The door to the potions classroom opens and the professor gestures you inside. "Come in and take your seats. Class will start momentarily. You will only need your textbooks today." Professor Branxton sat down behind his desk and began to polish his glasses while waiting for the class to gather. | |

Bjorn raises up his hand and hopes he answers correctly. In his mind he's saying " “potions” were made by using herbs, plants, and other materials for a specific purpose, whether it be practical or magical as in hallucinogenics used to “open the mind” to perform difficult magic..... Potion is also called a serum."

Jamie raised her hand and said, "Potions are made by using herbs, plants, and other materials for a specific purpose, whether it be practical as in cooking or healing salves, or magical, as in hallucinogenics used to “open the mind” to perform difficult magic." She then put her hand down to listen to other people's comments on it, and she scribbled it down.

Bella raised her hand, "Professor... General precautions should be taken when brewing potions: rate of stirring, knowing when, how much, and which ingredient to add, review your instructions before brewing and above all, remain focused on your brewing.'"

"Very good, very good. Potions is the study of brewing various concoctions using various ingredients and magical know-how. The range of uses for potions is as varied as your mind can imagine. All that is needed is the appropriate ingredients, mixed in the appropriate order and fashion and you can do just about anything. However, potions can also be a very dangerous magical pasttime. Any suggestions on why?" Professor Branxton frowned at those still chatting. "Before you answer my question, that's 5 points from Ravenclaw for starz's chatter. Also 5 points each to those who answered the previous question." Professor Branxton began taking notes to ensure those who answered received points.

Christian raised his hand. "It's dangerous because if you make one small mistake, a healing potion could become a poison." Chris said, satisfied.

Amber Joy raised her hand and replied "Brewing potions could be dangerous if the witch or wizard is unfamiliar with the potion he is brewing. Also, if the directions are not followed exactly, then there could be disasterous results, such as burning, mishaps with the caudron and supplies, injury or even death to the brewer."

Astoria raised her hand and said, "Potions can be dangerous because if one messes up even just a tiny bit, the consequences can be catastrophic."
She wasn't very pleased with the ones that were still chattering during the lesson. They needed to learn to show the professor some respect! She shook her head and ignored the chatterboxes.

Bella, with her usual eagerness, raised her hand, "Sir, if the proper precautions are not taken in potion making, such as stirring too fast, or adding ingredients in the wrong order, adverse effects may take place."

Firicle had an idea to what the answer could be and raised her hand.
''Could it be a dangerous magical pasttime because of the fumes of the potion? All the different odours might become dangerous to a body. Maybe also addiction and the want to taste the potion themselves.''
She wasnt sure the answer was at all right but it was worth a shot!

Zelot started to have a million things run through her brain at this question. Finaly she settled on an answer, raised her hand and said "Professor, brewing potions could be dangerous for several reasons. One being if you dont brew it right it might not have the disired effects and may cause some one to become poisoned."

David raised his hand. ''Potions can be dangerous in many ways. If brewed wrong some potions can explode, poison the person who tests them, which may be the brewer, if he can't find a willing tester, or various other adverse effects. The ingredients themselves can also be dangerous''

A little more relaxed,but hesitant, Aniri answered, "Well, the type of potion created depends on the needs of the maker. So...if the needs of the maker were dangerous, would the potion made to meet their needs not also be dangerous?"

Jara raised her hand. "Well, it deals with drinkable medicines, that can help you, be a advantage or can be a disadvantage. You can find out many things using potions like Veritaserum. You can use Felix Felicix to help you in your everyday life, so yuou don't face any problems."

"Because Proffesor, the answer is simple. If one is not practised in the field of potion making, simple mistakes will be made. For instance, useing the wrong erb, or stiring clockwise instead of counterclockwise. These can change the outcome of the potions, completely. It is needed that you follow the directions precicely." Sara quiets down, and again lowers her hand.

Jen raised her hand and answered, "Potions can be very dangerous because a person must be exact when brewing one. Even a miniscule mistake could lead to dangerous consequences."
Why could the new students learn not to chat during class? It was rude and disrespectful to the professor. She pursed her lips and tried her best to ignore them.

Angel once again felt her hand bounce up in the air. She had no control over it at all, her mouth even seemed to be following the plan of attack. She once again answered the question, "Like others have stated before Professor, not enough of one ingredient or too much of another could have the wrong effect. Also accidently using the wrong ingredient could make the potion deadly."

"Exactly, one small mistake in potions can have drastic consequences. It could change an antidote into a poison or even cause harm to the brewer himself. I will not tolerate negligence in my class. Accidents happen but, you will be severely reprimanded if you are found to not be paying attention," Professor Branxton replied. "Now, there are many different ingredients that we will use but, one of the most common is ginger. Can anyone tell me what this ingredient is used for?"
