Default 1 - Dreamer's Elixer



Hecate had just returned from St Mungo's. She was very pale, and the bags under her eyes were dark and gray. Her lips were dry and she looked as if she'd lost weight.

The healers of the third floor were not happy that she'd released herself. But Hecate Lafay was not going to remain in that horrid hospital room. She'd gotten back a few moments ago and she was going to hold a class.

Even if it killed her.

She opened the door to the classroom and sat behind the desk.



ooc: This class will stay open for at least 72 hours (probably more.) Also thanks to Nixy! and AuroraQuinn for taking the picture of the Potions Classroom for me, and to Anna Banana for making it into a pretty graphic!

Okay, who was the dumb dumb who had come to Hogwarts without a wand?! Didn't she know that one was needed for practically every class? Emmanuelle was glad the professor had told her to get out of the room. Em thought she should have to leave Hogwarts for that, but whatever. No need to create a big fuss over it.

Just as she was about to poke the berry with her needle, a loud screech ripped through the room, causing Em to completely miss and stab herself instead. "OW!" She removed the needle, then looked around for the source of the noise. She spotted the source of the commotion pretty fast, seeing as they were attracting a few stares. "Oooo, housemate abuse!" she exclaimed, barely containing her laughter. Her highly inappropriate laughter, seeing as they had been told that this particular ingredient was dangerous....

Speaking of the ingredient, Em Scougified her needle again, and actually managed to poke her berry this time. She held the needle over her potion, and waited for the juice to drip off. Once it had, she held the berry in the flames of her burner, letting them burn it away. Then she Scourgified her needle for the third time and returned it to her kit, watching all the awhile to see how the fighting Hufflepuff situation would turn out (secretly hoping the girl would get in the most trouble...).

Laura said to Professor Lafay, she hadn't even given her time to explain why she didn't have a wand and why she was wandless, it wasn't her fault that she didn't have one someone had broken it, she quickly then left the room
"Good Riddance." She said out loud while the girl was out. "And that goes for all of you. With no wand, I don't want you in class."

How horrible it must be to not be naturally gorgeous and depend on elixirs and the like to TRY and help you out... because Merlin knew it wasn't doing Lafay any favours.
  • She knew how to handle house elves. They were servants after all and servants should not be SEEN nor HEARD unless asked to. Whats more they just arrived as if they OWNED the place. Not even a knock. Elijah probably would've helped Lafay chop up a few limbs for her to store in jars for future potions.

Anyway, Elijah had done all that was asked of him. He'd boiled the water, he'd added in those other ingredient things and he'd just been in the process of attempting to do the juice thing. Apparently it was extremely toxic and for some reason Elijah was tempted to lick it to test it out. Perhaps his new vampire status would save him from death?

He did find the needle method to be quite footery, so when Lafay didn't have her ugly, dark, wrinkly, sunken eyes on him, he just quickly squeezed a bit of juice from the berry and did the whole 'set it on fire thing'. The fire was cool.

Realising that he may have made a dog's dinner out of his potion now, he had to try and better it. And what better way to do that than to sabotage the potion of the person standing next to you so yours looked superior to theirs?

Unfortunately for Renesmee, she was the one who was nearest to him. Have some more berries to spruce up your potion, gurrrrl.

One. Two. Three. Each making a small plopping sound as it dissolved into her potion.

Elijah had tried to make sure she wasn't looking when he had done it, but subtlety wasn't his best. Maybe if she hadn't seen, and he was better than he thought, he'd have the opportunity to sabotage it some more. Maybe Lafay would try it and collapse from all the toxicness? By the looks of her face nowadays it looked as if that was the way she was going and Elijah would only be speeding up the process.

How many of those had he already put in her potion? And did he realize that those berries could have been highly fatal if she consumed them? Obviously he did!

ARGHHHH! WHY? WHY DID PEOPLE LIKE HIM HAVE TO COME MESS HER POTION UP?WHYYY?

She was mad alright! So mad that her Lochnessie started coming out. She let out a huge banshee screech and then glared at Elijah not taking her eyes off him for one second. "YOU!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Maybe she was over reacting, but really there were a lot of things bothering her lately and this just seemed to be the situation that made her break.

Screaming was not even enough for and she wanted to do more. Which she did. With shaking hands the red head took a step forward and pushed Elijah as hard as she could.

Hah! Served him right!

Quick to use his defenses, his cutest smile took form on his face hoping that his good looks alone would be enough to simmer her down, but NOPE! She stormed her way across to him and he tried his hardest to think of SOME excuse and was about to spout something about it being an accident of some kind when she SHOVED him.

Most un-ladylike.

His balance being something flamingos would guffaw at if the pink birds did, indeed, guffaw, meant that Elijah was shoved quite forcibly back and collided right into his work bench, causing a rather horrific pain to travel up his back. "OW! -insert some colourful language here-"

Picking up the spoon that was covered in whatever was brewing in his cauldron, he FLUNG it at the girl in anger, aiming directly for the middle of her forehead. How RUDE of her to maim his back!? What on Earth had HE done? Nothing, I tell you!
"Both of you?! Stop arguing, or I'm taking a lot of points from each of you." She said and overturned the cauldron, in front of his house.

"Mmhmm" Seri nodded to pretend she was intrested, though she was bored. Something about Kennedy and smooshy-lovey-dovey stuff. La, la, la. How boring. Seri got out some muggle pencils and thouroughly absorbed herself in drumming on the side of the kid's cauldron. Slowly at first, but gettin a little louder now and again. Seri liked music. Why didn't they have music lessons here?

Lalalalalalalallalaal. This person/professor was terribly boring. Seri was completely unintrested in whatver she had to say. Seri considered just skiving this lesson next time round. Boring and useless huh? Seri continued er drumming.
Hecate walked up to the girl and looked at her notes. "If you aren't interested in today's lesson. Step. Outside."

She smoothly grabbed a black berry and placed on top of her desk for a while to get her gold needle. She cleaned the gold needle first and grabbed the black berry again. Her hands were a bit cold and shaky. She took a deep breath and get hold of her gold needle and black berry. Come on, just relax, she said to herself.

Suddenly, she made a smooth, small pinch of the black berry and juice is gradually coming out of it. Her eyes got wide as the juice came out, being careful not to touch the tip of her finger. Then she get hold of the berry juice to the tip of the gold needle. She burned and set the black berry on fire until all it's juice had burned. Then, she slowly placed the needle over her cauldron and waited for the juice to drop.

Drop!

Bef was relieved the moment the berry juice dropped into her cauldron. She quickly burned the remaining juice from the needle. "Scourgify.", she bit whispered to clean the needle as she was so scared of getting the remaining juice on her skin. She then placed it back in her kit.

I wish I've done it the right way, she said to herself as she waited for Professor Lafay's next instruction.

She pierced the needle through the berry, and pulled the needle out slowly, holding it over the cauldron as she tossed the berry into the burner. She watched it burn to ashes, not having much else to do at the moment. Come on berry juice!! She's not getting any older over here!

And finally, the droplet fell in, leaving the gold pin like a diving board. Not really, though. Cardigan began to clean of the needle thoroughly, afraid to get any juices on her skin. That would be scary! What would happen if it did??? Well, there was no use in worrying if it didn't happen to her. That only caused it to happen!

Setting the golden needle back in the potions kit, she pushed it aside, and sat quietly, waiting for further instruction.

He got the gold needle from his kit and cleaned it. He placed the berry on his desk and carefully pierced it with the needle, making sure there was a drop of the juice on the tip. Now, the badger watched as the berry was burnt in the fire then he held the needle over his cauldron. When the juice dropped into it, he quickly burnt off the rest, cleaned it once again then replaced it in the kit.

Even if she didn't exactly trust that the potion in fact only would help people forget bad dreams or whatever. She just hoped they weren't testing it on anything later, or themselves specifically. Especially at all the reminders about how deadly belladonna could be, which she remembered from the herbology lesson. It all just made her want everyone to be that much more careful, because she'd rather not die. That wasn't a superhero thing to do, unless it was sacrificing oneself to save the world. She was only fourteen, though, and only a superhero's sidekick. It wasn't her job to save the world, just to help.

But back to the potion, because she imagined it probably shouldn't be allowed to boil too long between ingriedents, either. She took the time to write a step-by-step litle section of he rnotes for reference first, just to stall a tiny bit longer. Plus, that way she knew she knew everything. Then, she finally fished her gold needle out of her kit, using her wand to clean it carefully before retrieving her berry. Gently, she stuck the needle in the berry and moved it all over her cauldron as she withdrew it to see a drop-ish on the needle. Tossing the berry itself into the flame, she watched it flare up momentarily before looking back to the drop falling neatly into the mixture inside the cauldron. No stirring had been mentioned again, so that meant cleanup. To which end she stuck the needle into the flame to burn the remaining juice away, along with one of her fingers that had gotten a bit of juice on it as well. This is kinda cool, she thought, as the juice burned away but her finger stayed perfectly fine. And then she pulled her hand back to grasp her wand again, cleaning the needle before slipping it back in her kit to wait for the next instruction.

Even if she kind of wanted to play with the flame again.

She then held the needle over the couldron and waited for an agonizing thirty seconds before it dripped down into the watery depths. She then placed the needle by the burner until the remaining bits were burnt, cleaned it and placed it back in the kit. Next she burnt the berry and the left over juice on the magical burner, which was good as its juice was itching to touch her.

The blonde took out the needle from her kit and cleaned it. Then she pierced the berry carefully so that none of its juice falls onto the girl. Kat then placed the berry on fire. Ok, that was cool. The she-snake then positioned the needle above her cauldron so none of the juice splatters anywhere else. After the juice had dropped, Kat burned the excess juice from the needle and cleaned it again then placed it inside her kit. Wiiiiw. At least she didn't die of that.

So this task was no different, she just has to keep her eyes open and her hands stable.

Once Lafay was done demonstrating, the Ravenclaw took a deep breath, deep outbreath and set to work. She picked up the gold needle from her own potions kit, grabbed the Belladonna. "Scourgify," she cleaned the needle and in slow motion moved it closer to the deadly berry. PRICK! FJHGLDSKGJ. Louisa, a bit too quickly, set the berry on fire like Lafay had done, gulping every few seconds. Once that was done too, she moved the gold needle over her cauldron and waited. Not for long, coz three seconds later one drop of that killer juice fell into the cauldron, the girl moved the pin away, burning any leftover juice then cleaning the needle and returning it to the potions kit.

O__O

Ella's frown was immediate as she feverishly scribbled down notes, not wanting to miss any of the information Professor Lafay was sharing with the class. Especially the steps on how to get the juice from the BERRY OF DOOM. Oh yeah, she wanted her notes on that to be very specific. EEP! She didn't want to die!

Picking up the 18 carat gold needle, the third year cleaned it and held it quite tightly between her fingers, eyeing the nightshade nervously. Okay, alright... she could totally do this. She'd be fine. Totally fine.

The badger picked up the berry, and very slowlyyyyyy pierced the needle into it, pulling it out slowly and observing the juice that was still on the tip. EEP. Must not touch the juice! And over the cauldron it went, the juice dripping into her potion.

Quickly and as efficiently as she could, the third year then burned the berry until there was nothing left. She then carefully burned off whatever traces of the nightshade were left on the needle, holding it up to the light to inspect it closely before using her wand to clean it once more.

It was only when she placed the needle back in its rightful place that she realized she had been holding her breath the entire time. She finally let it out, wiping her brow with her hand and looking into her cauldron carefully.

Oh! And she was still alive. WOOHOO.

Trying to work faster, Renesmee grabbed her ingredients and started chucking them in. Problem was rushing was not the greatest idea. Barely noticing her mistake, the captain added only half a cup of the valerian root instead of a full one. She then began reaching out for her Kava Kava when she realized her silly mistake. Whoops. At least it could be fix. Hopefully Lafay never saw though. Taking another half of Valerian root, she added it into the potion.

Phew. Good thing she hadn't added more, because that would have been much more chaotic.

Before looking up again, Nessie took half a cup of Kava Kava and added it too. She then fixed up her notes and was almost caught up with the rest of the class as she listened to the next step.

Toxic? That..that Belladonna was toxic? *stare*

Um...she wasn't trying to kill them right? This was a liiiiitle nerv-racking.

Taking a deep breathe, the fifth year searched through her kit till she found her gold needle. 18 carrot gold was it? Yep it was. Gulp. She carefully picked the berry up in her hand and then ever so gentley pushed the needle inside it. She then retrieved the gold needle and moved her hand over to her cauldron.

Drip. Drop.

The drop of berry juice went in safely and soundly. Not wanting to have any reason to panick, Ness immediately burned the berry and any excess juice on her hand, over the burner. Good thing this magical fire was. No injuiries were needed nor wanted in a class like this.

Aha! Caught up she was and now ready to see what was next.

Kurumi was afraid to blink her eyes as Professor Lafay demonstrated the next steps - the ones that involved the deadly nightshade berry. A berry whose juices were used historically as a hallucinogenic and torture device...and was now in the classroom. In the hands of students. Yep, this woman really was trying to kill them all. Shouldn't they wear gloves or something for this step? Kurumi ended up slipping her dragonhide gloves on just to be safe - easier to clean gloves than skin, right? - and grabbed a gold needle, running it through the fire of her burner first to sterilize it before casting Scourgify on it to clean. She then carefully picked up the berry and ran the needle into its flesh veeeeeeeeeeeeeery slowly and pulled it out. Seeing that she had one drop on the tip she held that over the cauldron while she held the berry in one of her gloved hands. When the drop fell in she stabbed the needle into the berry again and burned it in the fire of her burner.

It was sort of alarming at how sweet the aroma was of this death berry in the flames...

When the berry and burned away, Kurumi kept the needle in the flame to burn off the rest of the juice and then cast Scourgify on it once more. No excess juice anywhere, Kurumi leaned back in her seat and wiped her brow. One deadly ingredient down...a few more to go, right?

She gulped as the professor taunted danger with the juice of the berry. I can't believe we're even allowed to touch those things. Shouldn't we have gloves or something? She took some deep breaths and tried to keep a level head. It's just a class. She'll help us if something goes wrong, I'm sure.

She picked up a nightshade berry, carefully. She did not want to squeeze the thing open by accident. She pointed her wand at the golden needle on her desk and said, "Scourgify!" Confident it was clean, she picked it up. Her hand was shaking slightly so she paused to steady it. You can do this, she told herself. She deliberately and precisely pierced the skin of the berry with her needle. She held her berry and needle over the cauldron, pulled the needle out and held very still. With her other hand she tossed the berry into the flame beneath the cauldron and watched it burn. She checked her skin for juice residue and finding none, looked back to the needle as the tiny drop of death wobbled on the tip. After what seemed like ages it finally dropped into the cauldron, so small that it didn't even make a sound.

She let out a sigh of relief, moved her needle hand back over the desk and cast, "Scourgify." She placed the needle back where she'd gotten it and awaited further instruction. Or impending doom, she wasn't really sure which.

Then he listened to the Professor Lafay very carefully as she explained about the next step, where they would use the highly toxic berry.

Okay, move to next step!

He took the gold needle and cleaned it first. Then carefully he took the berry and pierced it with the needle. Actually he didn't have any idea why they must use the 18 carat gold needle just to pierce the berry. Whether the gold could decrease the toxic level or something.. maybe. After he pierced it, then he carefully added a drop of it juice to his cauldron. He burned the berry and the leftover juice on the needle. Okay, he admitted that it wasn't easy.

She watched Lafay as she showed them the proper way to get the deadly juice. It seemed simple enough. She picked up her gold needle and cleaned it off. She picked up her berry cautiously and stuck her needle into it. She moved the needle with the juice on it over the cauldron and watched as it dropped in there. She then staked the berrt again and burned it in the fire.

There that was simple enough. She cleaned the needle once more and waited for further instruction.

Poisonous. Obviously. Was the woman trying to kill them all? Shuddering, Elise picked up the gold needle, checking the label to make sure it was 18 carat. It hadn't been used yet, so it was obviously dirty. Cleaning the needle on a piece of cloth before taking her wand out to scourgify it, Elise made sure to clean thoroughly. Which meant scourgifying it about three times.

Elise picked up the nightshade berry gingerly, holding it securely but not too tight between her fingers. Needle in her left hand, she guided it slowly towards the berry and pierced it. Pulling out slowly and noticing the juice on the tip, Elise froze. Okay, she could do this.

Moving very carefully so as not to drip the juice onto herself or the floor, she made her way towards her cauldron. Holding the needle over her cauldron, she pointed the tip down until the juice finally dripped off it and into the cauldron.

Dropping her berry into the fire beneath her cauldron, Elise watched as it burned and was no more. Then, it was time to clean the needle as well. Holding it at the end, she held it towards the fire and burned all the remains of the juice on it. Scorgifying it once for good measure, Elise finally put it back into the kit.

She wasn't going to try that potion. No. She didn't want to die yet.

Ira first quickly updated her notes:

Ira handled the nightshade berry carefully. It must be really poisonous, seeing how cautious Lafay had been. But no need for panic!

Ira set to work. First she removed the gold needle and cleaned it properly. Then, with the needle in right hand, she pricked the berry lightly, so as to not let the juice squirt out. Now that the needle had enough juice for one drop, she pulled it out and held it over the boiling potion. Into the potion the drop fell.

Her first part of work done, Ira proceeded to the next. Burn the berry, burn its juice. Check. Quickly and efficiently, the fourth year burned the berry until there was nothing left. Then, she burned off whatever juice that was left on the gold needle. And following Lafay, re-cleaned the gold needle again.

Done!

Then she took the berry and looked at it feeling her nervous jump just a little. Poking the better she waited for a drop to come onto the needle. When it did she quickly moved the berry putting it in the burner to set it on fire. Then turning she let the drop fall into the potion. Placing the needle in the burner to burn off any unwanted juice she let it sit for a few moments. The pointed her wand at the needle cleaning it again. Placing it back into the kit she looked up for the next instructions.

And anyway she hoped that she won’t forget this. As those two substances seemed to be related to sleeping, dreams and memory. That should sum everything up. Yup!

The second year watched the following procedure closely. Because when dealing with something that happens to be named deadly something, well you tend to pay extra attention. And while watching so alertly ,the Slytherin student felt that everything was in slow motion. Especially when waiting for that tiny drop to fell into the cauldron. Cassia would swear that she heard a DRIP sound. Or that actually could be her active imagination.

So now it was her turn. Like Lafay she reached for the pin and cleaned it before piercing the berry with it. and so fast she burned the berry because it was toxic! And Cassia didn’t want to die in HERE and now! Then she held the pin above the cauldron and squinted her eyes at it hoping that somehow this will make the drop to fell faster….no? Well, she hoped so.

And after a minute or so the drop DID fell. Cassia grinned at that and cleaned the pin before putting it back to its place.

What next?!

Elliot didn't like messes, much.

The Ravenclaw sighed as she picked up the berry...her hand trembled just a bit as she picked up the needle...a golden needle. They were sooo preeetttyyy...shiiiiiiiny...GOOOOOLLD--

ELLIOT!

The blonde shook her head, getting her thoughts back to actual...potion making. She carefully pierced the berry, and she let the needle stay in for just a second before pulling it out slowly...she held the needle over the brewing potion..wait for it...waaaaaiit for iiiiitt..

PLUNK.

The tiny drop fell in, and Elliot breathed a sigh of relief...Merlin! That had been tense...she glanced at Beezus..."Please, please try not to kill yourself," she said, once again..."or else I'll make sure your funeral is lace themed." PAHAHAH XD

She quickly burned the berry, and her hands to get the juice off. OKAY. Next step, Lafaaay?!

She pushed the needle through the berry the quickly pulled it back out. She stared at the drop on the needle. She carefully moved it over the burner and set her own berry on fire, as well. When that was done, she moved the gold needle over the cauldron and added in the single drop from the needle. She followed Lafay's lead and burned the excess off the needle, cleaned the needle, then put it away.

Dylan listened as everyone told their dreams, there was no way he was telling his. Besides he didn't remember a bit of it so it would have sounded stupid and made people laugh at him so he was going to keep quiet. Then there was an elf in the room? COOL!! That was just awesome!! he was going to say that out loud when the professor made him jump as she yelled at the elf, ok so this was a scary professor! He watched as the professor threatened the elf and yelled at some of the students, ok so this was one professor that he was not to annoy. But he had this plan to do something to this professor, he would just have to make a flawless plan to do what he had wanted to do since Lex had told him about this professor and another! Both would not escape him! he just needed to know the right spells to make it possible!

He then listened as they were to fill their cauldrons with water, well he knew how to do that. But he did not know how to light a fire under his cauldron, he decided to do the water filling and try and see if he could sneak a peek at someone lighting a fire so that he could copy them. No he was not going to ask that professor for help, and he was not going to ask for help. He didn't want to show everyone that he didn't know what he was doing, so he decided to just listen out for any spells that came out of people's mouths so that he could do them as well. Well he knew that he knew how to fill the cauldron so he started with that "Aguamenti" he watched as his cauldron filled with water, but he couldn't stop the flow and his cauldron just kept filling and filling. Uhoh what was he going to do soon this cauldron was going to overflow and there was no way he was going to the professor for help! Not after what he saw her say to students and an elf!

He heard professor instruct them on getting some juice he glanced from his cauldron to the professor as she showed the juice extraction, so he knew how to do that as soon as he could stop this and light that fire! If he didn't ask for help now he was going to end up with an overflowing cauldron and a mean professor to deal with, now if someone could just stop this and light that fire for him he could move on and carry on with the potion. He would be able to get that berry and burn it with the new spell that he would learn if someone was willing to teach him. He just watched his cauldron fill up and up after he had watched the juice fall into the cauldron, cause that would be one step of many that he had to take in finishing this potion.

And now he was watching Professor Lafay properly handle the belladonna berry carefully to make sure he could duplicate it exactly.

First things first...the needle.

With it in one hand, he took up his wand once more. "Scourgify," he cast making extra sure it was clean. Then Gideon exchanged wand for berry, pausing to take a deep breath before he stick the needle within the fruit. Slowly extracting the needle for the drop to gather upon the golden surface. Slowly...slowly...there. He had it where he needed before letting it drop into the brewing potion.

A soft sigh of relief was let out as the prefect held the rest of the berry out for the fire beneath to burn it up and any juice off of him.

"You have to clean your cauldron first..." She took a piece of parchment from her stack and wrote something on it before handing it to him. "Write this down on all your potion notes so you remember, the 5 C's of potion making are cleanliness, content, color, care, and concentration. ALWAYS clean your cauldron and all your utensils before you use them."

So...he was going to have to start completely over. Better her tell him than Dragon Lady, right?

Kurumi was about to return her attention to her own cauldron when she heard someone screech. Wait...she knew that screech...

Head snapping back around, Kurumi's eyes widened when it was confirmed that the sound had belonged to Nessie...WHO WAS STANDING UP NOW AND PUSHING ELIJAH!!??!!

Kurumi's jaw dropped and she was about to say something when...

o_________________O

DID HE REALIZE WHAT WAS IN THIS POTION?! YOU CAN'T JUST FLING THIS STUFF AT PEOPLE!!

"Elijah! Nessie! Stop!" Kurumi exclaimed, glancing up towards the front of the classroom briefly to check on the vein in Dragon Lady's forehead. "This potion is dangerous! You can't just go flinging it at people or pushing each other around all this open cauldrons!"

Had the spoonful of stuff hit Nessie!? What if it made her go blind!? They had just been told not to leave any of the juice on their skin

Oh Merlin this was going to be bad...

He followed Lafay's instructions perfectly watching to see if he could stay away from getting the berry juice on his skin. He did not want Lafay's help nay more than he need. He still had nightmares about the bezoar.

Once he was finished. He watched Elijah fling something at another hufflepuff. Man Lafay might lose her sanity this lesson. With the house-elf and now Elijah. Plus she was not feeling well anyway. Nigel watch quietly waiting to see what Lafay would do

He rolled his eyes and shook his head, it seemed everything needed to be cleaned! Why couldn't they just be provided with things that would be clean already so that he wouldn't have to do it! He watched as she wrote something down on a piece of parchment "The 5 C's" he repeated as he watched her right each word down very carefully. He was leaning on the table watching her write. He looked up at her and nodded "Ok I got it, clean the stuff before I use it. Thanks Kurumi" he smiled at her before he turned back to his cauldron. "Though I wish I didn't have to, wish they were clean already!" he mumbled as he put the parchment on top of his.

Well time to clean the cauldron, now what was the spell for that? scorgify? scorjify? nope that was not it either. He was about to ask Kurumi when he saw that her eyes were glued to something, he looked over and saw a girl push an older boy. Woah! that was the first time he had seen a boy lose a shoving match! must be a weakling! its all those yoga poses that he told Minnie about, didn't he tell her they weakened you. Look at this guy cant even stand against a shove without being in pain. He had to surpress a chuckle behind his hand as the boy blasted the girl with the potion. Thats when he heard Kurumi yell out, sheesh any louder and Dylan would be jumping out of his socks! Oh yeah the professor had said something like that! well back to his cleaning, he pointed his wand at his cauldron as he remembered how the spell went so no need to ask Kurumi, he was a big boy he could do this himself. If there was a disaster then Kurumi could come over but he was fine for now "Scourgify" just as he said it his cauldron was clean, but the force of the spell threw him back a bit and he ended up hitting his cauldron onto the floor with a big

BANG!!

Now THAT made him jump!! The moment he had his balance back he quickly picked up his cauldron and put it back onto the table. Well the cauldron was clean now, so time to fill it with water yes? right.. that was.. "Aguamenti" he watched as the cauldron filled up with water once again at least this time no more starting over.

After she cleaned it, she decided to do it and pierced the berry. EEP! Belle was nervous but her hands were steady.

She saw the juice come off of it and let it linger on the needle. That is what they needed to do! As she got the juice she needed, she went to the burner and burned the berry. It dissolved instantly! Then she waited till the drop fell into the potion. After it fell in, she burned the berry in the burner.It burned like the professor said it would. Then Belle burned the excess juice off the needle. It burned magically off. Then she said "Scourgify!" and cleaned her needle and but it back in her potions kit.

PHEW! Another dangerous task done. Belle wondered if there were any more ahead...

Anyway highly poisonous berry-- definitely need to concentrate on this one....

Firstly, he slipped on a protective glove as an extra precaution from any poisonous juices that could spill out from the Belladonna after puncturing. Then he took out his wand and the gold needle and scourgified it, then carefully took the dark colored berry and slowly pressed the needle deep into the fruit. He then took the needle out and hovered it, tip down, close to the mouth of the cauldron, then allowed the juice to drip out of the needle. When that was completed he tossed whats left of the Belladonna into the fire from the burner and scourgified and disinfected the gold needle as well.

And safe and sound right? Worked right through the ruckus from somewhere in the classroom-- of which Vickers realized it was from none other than Elijah.... and dragged Captain Nessie along with him.

Well at least he still has his shirt on.


"Good" She said to the students.

She drew out a leaf. "This is devil's weed... you will need to slice it open on the vein. If you miss, you will need to start over." She put down a few leaves. "Go ahead, use your silver knife. They need to be precise." She said.

Devil's weed. Another interesting and slightly intimidating name for a potion ingredient. Was this even legal? Letting underage kids play with lethal berries and plants of the devil? Sounded a bit suspicious to Milton. Suspiciously AWESOME, but suspicious none the less.

Milton put the leaf down in front of him and grabbed his silver knife. He leaned over and veeeeeery carefully and slooooowly drug the tip of the knife down the vein of the leaf aaaaaall the way down to the bottom. There! And... "Now what?"

Arts TRANSPONSTER!

Sophie really didn't remember what she had dream about the night before, so she sat there quietly as she listened to her classmates' dreams. She didn't do much about the house elf commotion either - not a fan of elves maybe? She wouldn't know, really, she had never really met one before - and frowned curiously at professor's Lafay's weird... drooling? Eep.

Anyway, potion!

Sophie scourgified her cauldron before filling it with water and setting the fire underneath it. After that, she went to get all the ingredients they were told to get and went back to her working station. This class wasn't her favourite and she was feeling quite uneasy that day. Professor Lafay was acting weird(er)...

Listening to the next instruction, Sophie did as she was told and added the cup of valerian root and half a cup of kava kava after the water was boiling. She watched as the liquids mixed in her cauldron and looked up when professor Lafay asked the question. She didn't feel like guessing so she just watched the mixture some more.

Wha? That next step sounded really difficult! Sophie watched carefully as professor Lafay demonstrated, then looked around at some of her classmates before trying it out for herself. She finally got the gold needle and cleaned it. After retrieving the black coloured berry thingy, she pierced the berry with it and wrinkled her nose when she saw the juice. That was harmful, right?? The third year set the berry on fire like professor Lafay had done showed them. She caaaarefully held the pin above her cauldron and waited for the drop to fall in the mixture. Then the badger also burned off the excess that could be anywhere around - including the pin - and put it away once it was all clean.

Magical fire... Sophie loved it!

As soon as she set down her stuff, a suden commotion started. That crazy Elijah dude was creating chaos again, apparently! And the Quidditch Captain was LOUD! Merlin! But... professor Lafay already took control over the situation with a few words...! Hopefully...

New instructions. Sophie got her knife and cleaned it absentmindedly as she still eyed her housemates. She had to pay attention to this next step though, she did NOT want to start over if she messed up. So... she couldn't mess up. The brunette got a devil's weed and looked at it. Didn't look that dangerous. But that name... eep! She carefully started slicing it open on the vein as well as she could. Meehh, that took a while. And there were 8 leaves!! Gaaahhh!!

Jory glared at Elijah. Why was he always making trouble? He hoped the boy and Ness would settle down.

Turning his attention back to Professor Lafay, and watched her slice the devil's weed. Then, he grabbed his silver knife and carefully cleaned it. He placed the leaf in front of him and placed the knife tip on the top of the leaf's vein. Slice...slice...slice all the way down to the bottom. And directly on the vein!

Jory scribbled down this instruction and waited for the class to proceed.

They were using something toxic was that safe? Belladonna...She had cousin named Belladonna, she was a mean cousin. At the thought of belladonna being toxic Nerida smirked. After the Professor had finished saying the new set of instructions, she added them to her journal before going to get the berry. After retrieving the berry she set it down on her desk to get her gold needle. She reached into her potions kit and pulled out her 18 carat gold needle. She burned it in the flame before casting Scourgify on it so it could be clean. Carefully she took the highly poisonous dark berry into her fingers and slowly pressed her needle into the fruit. She then carefully took the needle out and held it over her cauldron face down waiting for it to drip. Into the potion the drop fell.

After that was done she placed the toxic berry into the fire beneath her cauldron and watched it and its juices burn. When the berry burned away, Nerida placed the needle in the flame to burn off the rest of the juice and then she cast Scourgify on it again. After the cleaning of the gold needle was done she placed it back into her potions kit and smiled she had done well with the poisonous fruit!

Devil's weed that didn't sound scary... And they had the precise! Precision was not one of Nerida's strong suits sometimes. The thought of having to start over did not sit good with Nerida. She took one of her devil's weed leaves and set it in front of her. She picked up her knife and cast Scourgify on it to make sure it was clean. She drug the tip of the silver knife down the vein very slowly making sure to not mess up and be precise with her slicing. She looked down at her leaf, she had done it right it was a perfect slice down the vein. Did they repeat it for the other leaves as well?

After the elf fiasco, Kennedy turned his attention back on Lafay. The elf picked the wrong classroom of all Hogwarts to disturb. And certainly the wrong professor to go to.

He glanced at his cauldron, his hand still tingling from Sierra's touch. He peered at her from the corner of his eye just enough to get a small glance. Yep. She still had that distracting affect on him. He doubted he would ever get rid of that. Not that he wanted to. She could distract him all she wanted.

Anyway. Time to focus on the potion. Right.

The Prefect cleaned his cauldron using Scourgify and then Incendio to set a fire under it. Kennedy remembered his first potions lesson ever back in fourth year Lafay had dumped his cauldron upside down because he had not cleaned it. Boy, had that made him turned red in the face. Well, at least he left with a lesson that. Actually, with more than one, heh.

Glancing back up and then picking his quill up, Kennedy jotted down the needed ingredients and then stood up to retrieve them. Three of them stood out and so he was extra careful with them. When he returned to his seat, Kennedy peered inside the cauldron and aha! the water was boiling. He set the ingredients on the side except for the cup of Valerian root and half cup of Kava Kava, which he added to his cauldron.

Just then the mention of his name broke through his concentration. Besides Sierra's voice he recognized the other. Hmm. Ah! Seri. But what made a tiny grin stretch his lips was when Sierra said he was her boyfriend. Will he always automatically smile whenever she said that? Most likely yes. Hehe.

RIGHT. Back to the potion. Kennedy shook his head a bit, shifting his attention on what Professor Lafay was demonstrating them. Oh. Time for the nightshade. Kennedy had seen his father handle a few of those at the manor's greenhouse, though, he wasn't allowed to touch any. Well, now was his chance. He carefully picked the berry up and with his other hand he picked up the gold needle from his kit. Truth be told, Kennedy really didn't want any of that juice on him. What if he had an allergic reaction to it, hmm? Oh well, it was all for this potion.

Piercing the berry with the needle, Kennedy withdrew the gold needle out, allowing a drop of the berry's juice to hang on the tip. Carefully, he hovered the needle over the cauldron and watched as the single drop fell into his cauldron. Phew. After that, he burned the excess juice off his fingers and off the needle. All clean now.

For the next step, Kennedy grabbed his sliver knife and watched professor Lafay as she demonstrated how to go on about their following task. Okay, so it had to be precise? Good, because Kennedy was good at that...unless he was being distracted, which he was trying hard not to be. Aligning the silver knife on the devil's weed leaf, Kennedy carefully sliced it to the vein, his brows furrowed and lip between his teeth as he did so.

There. Done.

Just about to go for another push, Renesmee was stopped by something gooey and BOILING HOT landing right in the middle of her forehead. "OWWWW!!!" It was so sore and she could tell some of her skin was at least going to be bright red afterwards. ARGH--OWWW!! ARGHHH!! "JER-- " Kurumi's voice made her pause her shouting for just one second. She semi- listened to what Kurumi was saying, because even if she wanted to she couldn't focus. When the prefect was done, she went right back into her Lochnessie mode.

Revenge! Yes she would get it, even through all the pain she was in even if it was the last thing she would do. Taking another step closer to Elijah, Nessie lazily extended her hands towards to give him another push, but it was then the Professor started talking and it was then, Nessie felt a whole bunch of sleepy coming from nowhere. She could smell the gross potion that was on her forehead, it was now dripping down her face. It smelled gross and as she wiped it off with her hand, her vision became all blurry.

She looked up at the Professor and instead saw three Professor's standing right before her. There was three of everything. Blink. Blink. Blink. "The..there's three..." She tried to mumble but then something else caught her attention. Right beside the three Lafay's there was a dragon, which was a little small for what it was. It was copper coloured and had two red horns sticking out at the top of it's head. It looked like one of the dragons she had seen in her Magical Creatures textbook. "Look! There's a dragon!" She said quietly to whomever was listening. The Dragon roared a deafening roar but before Nessie could see any more of her hallucinations the red head fell backwards and passed out.

At least it's not Devil's Snare, Kendall thought, unscrunching from the curled up position she'd involuntarily gone into as potions had started to be flung between garlic-breath-fire-crab-spinner boy and the Hufflepuff Quidditch captain. Ending in, apparently, threats of points loss and an overturned cauldron which had only scared her even more. Just because of all the warnings they'd already been given about how the potion could kill people if not properly brewed. She wasn't about to risk getting touched by any of it, and she had the feeling that Professor Lafay might turn on her if she tried casting a shield charm on herself. Of course, she wasn't even sure if the charm that Professor Bellaire had taught them would work against poison, so it just all equaled scared fourth year, and she started worrying that her hair was going to turn blue again. That was not something she wanted to explain.

Therefore, she surreptitiously had pulled her braid over her shoulder to check, and let a breath out as it still was auburn. So she wasn't terrified yet, and then she realized the lesson had continued. And knives were coming out, which caused her to sneak a look over at the troublemakers as she slid her hand over to pick up the leaves she'd retrieved earlier. No scary stuff, she hoped, fishing her silver knife out and Scourgifying it before carefully starting to slice the first leaf along the vein. Okay, this is easy. Like tracing, she thought, before startling herself as she finished the first leaf quicker than she'd expected. No harm done, though, so she took a breath and then moved on to the next leaf. As far as she knew they were supposed to slice all eight. The professor had done a few, after all.

SPOILER!!: Potions journal
Dreamer's Elixir-something? (either lets a person remember or forget their dreams)

Ingredients:
Water
1 cup valerian root
half a cup of Kava Kava (?)
1 berry of deadly nightshade
8 leaves of devil's weed
1 cup of Poison Hemlock seeds
1 poppy flower
10 leaves of Calea Zacatechichi (?)

Steps:
1. clean cauldron (important)
2. fill cauldron to the neck with water (basically full)
3. light the fire underneath cauldron to boil the water
4. once the water boils, add the valerian and kava kava (mixes easier if in liquid form)
5.using a clean, 18 carat gold needle, pierce the nightshade berry, making sure to get a single drop of juice on the tip of the needle
6.set the berry on fire, using the magical burner under cauldron, burning it up entirely along with any remaining juice not on the needle
7. let the drop on the needle fall into the potion without touching anything other than the needle
8.burn any remaining juice from needle, clean it, and return to supplies
9.using silver knife, slice each leaf of devil’s weed carefully along the vein

Gary just watched slightly when the two Hufflepuffs were in argue. Huh, why they liked making trouble? He didn't know them much.. Just knew that the boy one often made trouble in other classes such as being half naked at Transfiguration confidently.

Just keep focus, Gerald!

He rolled on his sleeves because it annoyed him to work with this potions. As Professor Lafay gave another instruction, the blonde guy paid attention very carefully and listen to her. Devil's weed? Is there any relation between Devil's weed and Devil's snare? Then he took his silver knife, cleaned it and carefully sliced it open on the vein. Okay, it wasn't too easy.

Sarah was happy that she had not done so badly in potions... YET. She looked in horror as the professor overturned the caldron... that was bad.. she had seen Elijah spike it up... poor Nessie! She decided to finish her step and then help Nessie. First she wrote down the notes
SPOILER!!: notes
Quote:
Potion to make you forget your dream (or add one ingredient to remember them)
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup of valerian root (preferably liquid form as it allows it to mix with Kava better)
  • half a cup of Kava Kava (preferably liquid form, same reason as valerian root)
  • 1 deadly nightshade berry
  • 8 leaves of devil's weed
  • 1 cup of Poison Hemlock seeds
  • 1 poppy flower
  • 10 leaves of Calea Zacatechichi
Method:
  1. Clean couldron. (scourify)
  2. fill with water up to neck of couldron (argumenti)
  3. light fire beneath couldron (incendio)
  4. Once the water begins to boil, add valerian root
  5. add Kava Kava
  6. use a clean 18 carat needle and prick the nightshade berry to get a single drop of juice on the needle's tip.
  7. Use the magical burner under the cauldron to set theberry on fire... burn it completely. Make sure all remaining juice that is not on the needle is burnt as well.
  8. allow the drop of berry juice on the needle to drop into potion
  9. burn all leftover juice on the needle, clean it and return to supplies
  10. Using a silver knife slice open the vein of the devil's weed. Repeat procedure on all eight leaves. If you mess up, you will need to start over

Then she took out eight leaves. Using the knife she worked slowly to edged the knife along the vein... slowly but surely she made her way through. She breathed a sigh of a relief... she had made it! With a bit more confidence she did the next leaf... but she did it too fast and and she went out of the line. Her aunt told her that in a muggle preschool they would be able to help her.. as she had something called low motor-coordination and low fine gross motor skills... well att least that was want her aunt diagnoised her with... apperantly her mother had to go to a muggle occupational theripist and a phsiotheripist because of these things as well. So with a sigh she took another leaf and began the porcess again, this time so slowly... soon she had made seven perffect cuts and was not on her eigth leaf and was doing it slowly when Nessie's shout made her mess up.
SPOILER!!: nessie

Just about to go for another push, Renesmee was stopped by something gooey and BOILING HOT landing right in the middle of her forehead. "OWWWW!!!" It was so sore and she could tell some of her skin was at least going to be bright red afterwards. ARGH--OWWW!! ARGHHH!! "JER-- " Kurumi's voice made her pause her shouting for just one second. She semi- listened to what Kurumi was saying, because even if she wanted to she couldn't focus. When the prefect was done, she went right back into her Lochnessie mode.

Revenge! Yes she would get it, even through all the pain she was in even if it was the last thing she would do. Taking another step closer to Elijah, Nessie lazily extended her hands towards to give him another push, but it was then the Professor started talking and it was then, Nessie felt a whole bunch of sleepy coming from nowhere. She could smell the gross potion that was on her forehead, it was now dripping down her face. It smelled gross and as she wiped it off with her hand, her vision became all blurry.

She looked up at the Professor and instead saw three Professor's standing right before her. There was three of everything. Blink. Blink. Blink. "The..there's three..." She tried to mumble but then something else caught her attention. Right beside the three Lafay's there was a dragon, which was a little small for what it was. It was copper coloured and had two red horns sticking out at the top of it's head. It looked like one of the dragons she had seen in her Magical Creatures textbook. "Look! There's a dragon!" She said quietly to whomever was listening. The Dragon roared a deafening roar but before Nessie could see any more of her hallucinations the red head fell backwards and passed out.

Sarah looked up in surprise... rather fustrated as the cut had been fine until now... then she realize that Nessie had passed out. She was about to run to her when she reailzed that it was Lafay's class and to put it bluntly Lafay was not the nicest... Yet if she llost points it was for a good cause as she shot out of her seat and ran to Nessie. Nessie seemed to be having a reaction.... to what. It was then that she had remembered the potion that was seeping near her robes... not wanting to get effected the same way as Nessie, Sarah moved to a safer spot and examined Nessie forhead... this is bad. It was then that she decided to involve the professor."Professor, Nessie... ehm Renesmee here seemed to have had a bad reaction to the potion... is there an antidote or something?" then she detailed something more about the condition, "she seemed to have been hallucinating before she passed out"... maybe a bezoar would do?

After listening carefully to the Professor's recent instruction, she took a peep into her notes to review what they have done so far. She picked her quill and wrote down the next step:

SPOILER!!: Befelda's Notes
POTIONS
Dreamer's Elixir

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup of valerian root
  • half a cup of Kava Kava
  • 1 deadly nightshade berry (Highly toxic)
  • 8 leaves of devil's weed
  • 1 cup of Poison Hemlock seeds
  • 1 poppy flower
  • 10 leaves of Calea Zacatechichi

Directions:

1.) Clean the cauldron (Scourgify)
2.) Fill the cauldron with water, neck deep (Aguamenti)
3.) Light fire underneath the cauldron (Incendio) until at a good boil
4.) Add the Valerian root and Kava Kava
5.) Get an 18 carat gold needle, clean it and pierce the Deadly nightshade berry, leaving a drop of it's juice on the gold needle part. Make sure the juice won't touch any part of your skin.
6.) Set the berry on fire using the magical burner.
7.) Place the gold needle with berry juice droplets over the cauldron and wait until the drop to fall into it.
8.) Once the juice drop fell into the cauldron, burn any excess juice from the gold needle, re-clean it, and return to the kit.
9.) Use a silver knife to slice the veins of each Devil's weed leaf precisely. May need to start over if missed.


After writing the next step, she put down her quill and grabbed a leaf of the Devil's weed. She took her silver knife and stared at the veins for a while. Hmm..., she said to herself, studying closely the veins that she's about to slice. Bef knows her hands are a little bit shaky so she's still studied how to correctly slice the veins without missing.

She took a deep breath, shook her hands slightly then proceed. She leaned over and slowly she pointed and dragged the tip of the silver knife thru the Devil's weed leaf's veins all the way down. Yes! I've done it!, she said excitedly finishing the first leaf. Now to slice the remaining leaves. The next slicing procedure with the remaining leaves was more than good. She has sliced the veins perfectly without mistake. After the last leaf, she placed down the silver knife and now waited for the Professor's next instruction.

At least this leaf doesn't kill you with its one touch. Kat took the devil's weed you got from the cupboard. Oh, man it's scary. Kat then took out her silver knife from her Potions Kit. Oh god, Kat hates cutting. She's not clumsy, but bad memories involving the word 'cutting' is just not so good. Kat slowly sliced the vein open. Uhmm... scary.

Cardigan listened intently on how to do this, not wanting to mess up. It wouldn't be too fun, having to start over. Not at all!! She'd probably get far behind, or worse, put more or less in than she was supposed to!! What would happen then??

Better to just get it right the first time.

She picked up her potions kit again and cracked it open, taking out the silver knife. She slid the kit to the side, and moved one of the leaves to the center. She lined the knife up at the top of the vein, and brought it down carefully. She did it!! Cardigan had successfully split the first Devil's Weed leaf in half!! If she could do that one, it would be easy to do the others, it seemed. She put the two halves to the side, and slid another leaf to the center of her desk, lining up the silver knife again and cutting all the way through. Again!! She had done it again!! Now, she knew the other six would be easy! She did the same procedure for the others, lining up her silver knife and cutting it down.

Well, this was certainly easier done than said.

She put the knife back to the center, and gently wiped all her leaves to the side, being careful not to accidentally rip one. That would be bad! She folded her hands together, and waited for the next set of instructions.

That...was it? Professor Lafay wasn't letting out the Dragon Lady after that?

Kurumi tried to blink away her surprise, but it was rather difficult to do so. She had seen the women do more for less, so this...was a surprise. She really wasn't feeling well, was she?

Kurumi ended up glancing back over at Dylan again...who hadn't lit his burner. "Dylan, light your burner," she instructed. He knew Incendio, right? Had all the instructions written down as well, yes? Because he was falling dangerously behind...

Attention back to the front, Kurumi watched as Professor Lafay demonstrated the next step. After cleaning her silver knife with Scourgify, Kurumi carefully sliced it down the vein and tried not to let her hand tremble too much. Once she was done, she cleaned her knife again and waited to hear what they were supposed to do with it while she returned to her notes.

SPOILER!!: Kurumi's parchment

Kurumi Hollingberry
Gryffindor // Seventh Year
Dreamer's Elixer :: A potion to make the drinker forget or remember their dreams.

Ingredients
  • water
  • 1 cup of valerian root
  • half a cup of Kava Kava
  • 1 deadly nightshade berry
  • 8 leaves of devil's weed
  • 1 cup of Poison Hemlock seeds
  • 1 poppy flower
  • 10 leaves of Calea Zacatechichi

Procedure
  • clean cauldron
  • fill with water to brim
  • light burner
  • wait for water to boil
  • add valerian root
  • add Kava Kava
  • clean 18 carat gold
  • prick deadly nightshade berry with needle to get one drop
  • burn berry
  • drop the one drop into cauldron
  • burn & clean needle
  • slice devil's weed along the vein with a silver knife


Kurumi's head SNAPPED back up when she heard Nessie say something about a dragon. THERE WAS A DRAGON!? What breed? Where? Why? How!? Looking around the classroom...Kurumi frowned when there was no dragon AT ALL and was about to say so when it became clear that Nessie was not in her right mind. Thankfully Sarah ran over to her right away, so there wasn't a need for someone else. Crowded Nessie would only make matters worse...

Hallucinations...wasn't that one of the effects of deadly nightshade? "Um...should someone go get the Healer?"

Ella picked up several leaves from the Devil's Weed, placing them on the table in front of her. She then pulled the silver knife towards her pointing her want at it with purpose. She cleaned the tool thoroughly before setting her wand aside, ready to make the cut.

The third year bent down so she could better see what she was doing and slowly placed her knife over the vein of the first leaf, bringing it down and gradually applying pressure. As she moved the knife up the vein, her hand slipped and she ended up slicing through the side. UGH. Merlin's beard! And she had been SO close. Hmph!

Discarding the damaged leaf, the badger pulled another towards her, smoothing it out with her hand. She then brought the knife down slowly as she had before, lining it up with the vein. Carefully she began to drag the silver knife along the vein, watching as it was severed. YES! She'd done it! BEAM. BEAM. BEAM.

Now only 7 more to go....

And the third year continued cutting the leaves, not bothering to worry about how long it took as the faster she went, the more mistakes she made. When she was finished she cleaned the knife and set it aside again, ready for the next step.

Taking the same black berry that the professor had told them, Juliet stared at it long enough to realize that yes, the fruit is very much poison as to what the professor had just explained to them. Carefully watching the professor this time, she also took the gold needle provided to each of the. "Scourgify" she immediately cleaned the gold needle with her wand. Catching up in the same pace, she eyed the professor as she also pierced the needle into the berry. Setting it on fire just like what the professor did, Juliet began grinning at the activity. This is starting to get fun.

Then she saw a drop fell into her cauldron, so she moved the needle away, cleaned it once more, lastly returning it back to its kit.

Next step is to get the devil's weed. Wow, her first potion at Hogwarts and the ingredients are either poisonous or well..... sort of deadly. Smirk.

Juliet took out the knife, again cleaning it before slicing the devil's weed. Of course she did this procedure as slowly and as surely as possible. It needed to be done carefully. Cutting on the vein area as correctly and as accurately, Juliet moved her head closer to the table as her eyes and hands concentrated.

After awhile she managed to slice a few. This would be enough, right?

Phew. Done..

Right they needed to get back to the potion. She retrieved a black colored berry and showed it to the class. "This is highly highly toxic. It is called deadly nightshade, or Belladonna. Now watch carefully as I'm doing this only once." She took the gold needle out of her potions kit, cleaned it and pierced the berry, leaving a drop of it's juice on the gold needle part.

Use the burner to burn the berry and juice, as that fire is magical and won't burn anything else." She said. "Go on now... Get your berry."


So it was for calming the senses. He scribbled this down at the bottom of his list and circled it so he wouldn't forget the final answer. Directly under that, he wrote "Nightshade aka Belladonna. HIGHLY TOXIC." He also scribbled a quick picture next to it to remind him as he leafed through his notes to study for exams.

He watched closely as she demonstrated this next step. I just KNOW I'm going to do something wrong here. With quick glances at the older students, he set to work. Scourgify? That water spell again? Well, they did have to clean their needles, he supposed. He attempted the spell once more, and once again no water flowed from his wand. But on a second look, no one else had that happening either. Maybe it's actually for cleaning! That would explain a lot.

Needle in hand, he carefully pricked the dangerous berry. Despite his caution, he must've had a juicy one, because droplets went flying onto his robes. "Oh no..." he moaned. They'd have to go to laundry tonight. But he followed instructions still, letting the tiny drop fall into the cauldron. Pao quickly burned up the berry and juice left on the needle; he examined his hands, but saw no residue. Just to be sure, he stripped off his be-juiced robes, leaving jeans and a tee underneath. He didn't want to be wearing that juice. Heading for the tap in the back, he thoroughly washed his hands off, just in case.


Text Cut: Droo again!

Pao was drying off his hands when he heard a commotion. That sounds like our Captain! And sure enough, it was Renesmee. With potion all over her face. Who did that? I hope she's okay! They needed their Captain for their big first match this weekend! And that nightshade stuff... that couldn't be good.

Still worried, he almost missed hearing the next instructions. Silver knife.. on the vein. He hurried back to his station, careful not to disturb anyone during this delicate process. Upon reaching his destination, Pao wrote down this next step in his notes and then retrieved the silver knife from his kit. Grabbing the devil's weed, he bent over it and began to labor over the process. Sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. By the end of the cut, his hands were slightly shaky from nerves, but he had a beautiful specimen.

Belle understood the task. She went up and got her leaf which was called "Devil's Weed." Geez this potion sounded more and more dangerous.

As she went back to her seat, she took a deep breath and she tried to find the vein. Once she found it, she went to her potions kit and used her silver knife. This task seemed easier than the one before.

Once she got her silver knife, she hovered it over the vein. She knew it needed to be precise. Pheww she can do this. She had sturdy hands. Once she hovered over it, she did the cut. IT WAS PRECISE. She got it down, she was happy.

Then she copied down all the steps into her notebook.
SPOILER!!: Belle's Notebook

Devil's weed? Cassia wrinkled her forehead hearing that. What with the names. Deadly, devil and toxic. Her goal was to make it out of the lesson ALIVE and healthy. She almost forgot that they were brewing a potion that had something to do with dreams. She got the impression this was a poisoning potion to get rid of people. Which could come in handy by the way.

The second-year reached for the sliver knife and a couple of leaves. They needed eight according to the notes on the board. Cassia held the knife and the leaf up close to her eyes and started slicing very slowly and carefully.If anyone nudged her,she'd likely take her own eye out with the knife. So go away people. And fortunately everyone seemed to be concerned with their own weeds and no one seemed to be wandering. Good students.

Of course the first attempt of slicing did NOT work. Cassia put the weed aside and reached for another one. Exhaling loudly and murmuring words under her breath, Cassia kept slicing and cutting. This was frustrating! Though she managed to slice a couple correctly.

Vickers picked up the leaf and pushed his glasses up against his nose. Merlin the vein was rather fine wasnt it? He picked up his wand and scourgified the board before laying the leaf on it, then took his silver knife and scourgified that too. Finally he set to work on slicing the leaf, driving the tip of the knife against the vein, starting from the bottom then towards the tip.

It took several minutes but the Ravenerd finally finished slicing all 8 of the devils weed. He set the knife down against the board and looked up, waiting for the Professor's next instructions.

Devils weed eh? Wicked! At least with this one it didn't seem like they were likely to die if they messed up which is always a good thing. She grabbed a leaf and gently placed it down. Ok she had to get this right the frist time because Hannah did not make mistakes...clearly.

She grabbed the silver knife and glared at it...just letting it know that it could not fail her because if something were to go wrong it would be the kinfes fault and not hers. Instruments could be faulty ya know. Done with the glaring she gently and very sloooowly pierced the leave in the vein.

She inspected it and was very pleased with the outcome. She cut the devil leave thing like a boss. Not the she was surprised or anything.

Elliot snickered at Laura being asked to leave...that was pretty funny, though. It made Elliot's mood perk up quite a bit! Her eyes focused back on Lafay, though, and...Merlin. Devil's weed?! This potions was sounding creepier and creepier...bit time...

She watched carefully, and was almost CERTAIN she was not going to get it right the first time...it looked VERY precise...and difficult. Lafay made it look easy, but hey, SHE was a professional...and Elliot was...fourteen. Which not a lot of interest in potions besides the class....so yeah...

She picked up her knife, carefully, and eyed the leaf....Get ready to be dominated, little LEAF. Heck yeah! She started, slowly and VERY prudently....and about like, TEN WHOLE MINUTES later, she had it done PERFECTLY! Hehehe. slow and steady wins the race! Well, it hadn't been that slow, really, because they needed multiple leaves...but she was definitely taking her time.

She grinned, and glanced at Beezus...who might need help..because this was hard...and the poor girl...*sigh*

And onto more dangerous sounding ingredients. Eliza watched how the professor cut the leaf down the vein. And apparently it must not be that toxic since there hadn't been any emphasis on keeping it away from your skin. That was somewhat comforting. Okay, so we're only cutting on the main vein then? Not every single one, good. That would've taken absolutely forever since they needed a total of 8 leaves for the potion. She couldn't even imagine how many times she'd mess up if they had to do each vein.

She picked one leaf from her pile and set it on the center of her desk. This shouldn't be very hard right? She cleaned her knife and tried to channel the hands of a surgeon. Precise and steady. She spread the leaf with the fingers on her left hand and came in with the blade in her right. As she pressed her knife to the vein, the leaf wobbled, causing her to chop it on a diagonal instead of straight up the line. Shoot! she cursed internally. Okay, so these are a bit rounded underneath. Noted. She grabbed a new leaf and tried again, this time more slowly. She lightly glided the knife down the vein, gradually pressing deeper until she was sure it wouldn't slip away. Once her knife found the end of the leaf, she said quietly, "Va-la!" Now she just need to do seven more, the exact same way. She sighed as she began and hoped it would go faster with practice.

Well, This is the easiest instruction of the day. Nigel slice it open on the vein on one try with his silver knife.

He wondered what kind of magic they would need for this potion. It seemed like quite a lot for Lafay to kick Laura out of class.

Well, then them time came. Nigel hoped he knew the spell. But whatever, Nigel just started daydreaming until he heard Lafay talk again.
