| | |  Potions Class One
As you enter the dank, dark cave of a potions classroom, the first thing you might notice is the smell. A thousand different scents, good and bad, mingle together in the moist, rich air of the musty dungeon room. The room is gloomy: the lighting is dim, mostly from wall sconces where candles flicker but also from small flames under a series of cauldrons which are simmering at the back of the room. There are rows of workstations with two stools at each station.
A thousand and three jars, canisters, and containers of potions ingredients line the shelves along the walls, gleaming dully in the low light. Each is labelled in the Professor's shaky old man's script, and at the back of the room are shelves groaning under the weight of huge potions encyclopedias and texts.
At the front of the classroom, a large charmed chalkboard stands. On it are written these simple instructions: Quote: POTIONS 101
Please be seated. The professor will be here momentarily. Be certain that you have all your potions equipment with you; failure to do so may cost your House points. If you are an older student who is familiar with Potions you may set up your workstation. First years, please ask an older student for assistance.
You may talk quietly amongst yourselves, but please keep the conversation to a reasonable level out of respect for your classmates. Thank you. --Professor Kazimeriz Class Synopsis:
The professor has entered the room. A brief discussion about the Cardinal Rule of Potions (Know thy Ingredients) has taken place. A Worksheet has been distributed; students have been instructed to write equal and opposite ingredient pairs on this worksheet to familiarize themselves with complementary ingredients to understand the concept of negators, or neutralizing ingredients.
A brief discussion about Golpalott's FIRST law was introduced: for every ingredient, there is at least one equal and opposite ingredient that can be used as an antidote to the first ingredient.
This led to a discussion on Golpalott's Third Rule: the antidote for a blended poison will be equal to more than the sum of the antidotes for each of the separate components.
The class was informed that they have all been poisoned by means of a potion that absorbs through skin contact. Their goal? To identify their symptoms and brew the antidote to their poison by the end of class. Instructions can be found here.

"Well then, I'm glad you're not like your sisters otherwise this could get pretty boring." he said still hard at work cleaning the cauldron. He was about halfway down with this one.

He was about halfway down with this one. Mina giggled at the thought of one of her sisters actually doing this. "Yes, this would be very boring, but you know I kind of enjoy getting my hands dirty, per say." Looking into the cauldron, she started to put more elbow grease into her cleaning. They did appear to have a lot more to clean. | |

Cela jumped off of her stool and wandered over to a Gryffindor that was sighing like.... a... a sighing thing. "Do you want some help?" She eyed the green goop curiously, wondering what it was.
"I'm Celandine by the way, but you can call me Cela."

"I'm Celandine by the way, but you can call me Cela." Josh was trying to stay calm and not to get mad at the table, which might result of his trumbling it over in fury, when he felt someone approach and to his surprise, he saw the Ravenclaw girl who introduced att the stuff to the class when he looked up. Though he did not know the girl yet, even her sight was enough for him to relieve. And the better, she had asked him if he needed help. YAY! ''Hey Cela. I'm Josh'' he replied and managed o put a smile on his face. ''...who sucks at cleaning dumps like that. I'd be most grateful. Merlin thanks!''

Celandine told Josh cheerfully. "Try scourgify and then evanesco." She demonstrated both spells, scourgify to scrape the goop up and evanesco to vanish it. "If it was more liquidy, then you'd use tergeo instead of scourgify, on account of tergeo siphons up liquids. You can clean up any goop I spill in the next class!" Cela winked at him good naturedly and gave the now goop-free surface a quick wipe with a nearby clean cloth.

The Gryffindor boy nodded slightly and observed the Ravenclaw carefully as she showed how to use those spells and clean the mess with them. Oddly somehow her attitude reminded him of his mother who also had been a Ravenclaw. ''Cool!'' he said smiling widely as she was finished with the part of the table which now had a clean surface. ' 'Scourgify, tergeo and evanesco.'' he repeated ''Thanks to you i have learned three new spells''. He took his wand out and pointed it another sticky looking substance on the table ''I think i can handle this now. Scourgify...'' he said the incantation slowly being careful with pronouncing. ''...evanesco!'' he jumped happily as he watched it vanish ''Yes! Great!''

Almost saying something that would surely lose her more points she grabbed the nasty cauldron the professor handed her "Gee, thanks professor, I was done with this one anyway, I needed another one to clean" she said as she handed the clean one to him to inspect. "My most sincere pleasure." he smirked back at her, ignoring her tone entirely. Any more cheek from her and he'd have her scouring out the old bottles of rancid stinksap. Quote:

"Right." Celandine beamed at Professor Kazimeriz.
"So like, if you want to get rid of the gunk and stuff its a good idea to use a little bit of water, if you can't conjure it then get it from the taps over there. But like, you should decant the water first, that means put it in another container, rather than conjure it straight into the cauldron cos it might make bad stuff splash on you." Cela explained earnestly.
She did exactly that, measuring some water into her cauldron, just a little bit. She swirled it around so it picked up the majority of goop there and then vanished the goopy water.
Then she picked up a rag and applied the Mrs Scower's Magical Mess Remover and started rubbing at the inside of the cauldron.
"You can keep stopping and doing the water thing as you go." Cela added, rubbing at the inside of the cauldron and vanishing bits of goopy potion as she spoke.
NONVERBALLYNONVERBALLY! Cela peeked at Professor Kazimeriz, to see if he'd noticed.
"And then, when it looks clean and no residue comes off on the cloth, thats when you can use cleaning charms." Cela held up her cauldron so people could see it.
"And you have to look and see if there are any cracks or thin bits and stuff and if its okay, then you are done!"
She made a tada face and then looked around to see if she could help anyone. "Excellent, Miss Toussaint. Take another five for Ravenclaw for your demonstration, it was spot-on." Kazimeriz said to the young girl, nodding at her explanation. "And here I thought you did not have any enthusiasm for potions." Quote:

This was going to be a loooooong class. ''I want to cry'' he murmured and started to rub the sticky green thing off the table. Kazimeriz watched the boy scrubbing the grimy cauldron, nodding in approval. "Mr. Carter makes a good point- if any potion spilled on your workstation, I do expect you to clean that off as well. A clean workstation is a safe workstation, after all." He wondered for a moment if Josh Carter was any relation to Jacob Carter or the Carter pureblood family. As a Gryffindor, it was unlikely... but you never knew, pupils often sorted differently than their families. Quote:

With that, please clear your supplies and I will see you at next class. Homework is 8 inches of parchment summarizing what you learned about antidotes, negators and identifying potion ingredients." Kazimeriz nodded to his students. "If anyone is still in need of an antidote- and as none of you are vomiting and fainting, I presume none of you do-- please see me at my desk. Class dismissed!"
With that, the antique of a man shuffled up to his desk and settled in to manage some paperwork, taking care to avoid the basket full of phials of student work.

Carter finished the cauldron he was working on and placed the ones he had cleaned near the fire pit. He then came back and helped Mina take hers over.

8 inches of parchment? That's like a novel! Destiny was already backed up in homework and this just made it worse. She walked her clean cauldron to the fire pit and went back to her seat the write down the homework almost forgetting about her black eye. It was starting to hurt and water. 'I'm not crying.' she told no one and she packed up her things.

Her station was pretty clean as it was, so she quickly took her cauldron to the fire pit and set it down gently, then went back to her station to write down the homework. 'Eight inches...it's like the Professors don't realize everyone else is giving us the same huge load of homework as they themselves are...' Sighing in frustration at having to add another essay to her cramming load of stuff to do, she packed up her things and was about to run out of there when she remembered Josh wanted to talk after class.
Letting her head fall back, she stared up at the dark ceiling and sighed again. Placing her bag on the desk, she sat on her stool and waited for Josh to finish whatever it was he was doing and then they could go, trying her hardest to ignore how many points Ravenclaw just earned.

After finally getting her cauldron clean Tori took it over to the firepit as she had heard Professor Kazimeriz instructed another student to do. She ready to go.

Kay smiled at what the Professor said to Marie. She knew he would say something to her. "Thanks for class Professor." Kay said turning to Marie. "I think you need a drink." Kay said laughing a little as she got her thing all put into her bag. Kay stood and waitted for Marie.

Marie finished cleaning the last cauldron and hung it by the firepit. "Oh Merlin, I'm glad this class is over, let's get out of here quick." Marie said to Kay as she gathered the last of her things. "Have a great night Professor and thanksd for the lovely lesson on cleaning." Marie walked out of the room not even sure if Kay was following. She was just happy to be out of there.

"The next class promises to be one that will be quite compelling; I encourage you to attend."
