Hecate stood in the middle of the classroom. She seemed more pleasant than usual... for one thing she was no longer dying. She was cured, and she looked the picture of health... well... unless you count the streak of gray in her hair, and the one gray eye... You didn't really notice the eye unless you were close to her, and not many students would dare get close enough to see... except maybe...
Well...
She'd hex the hufflepuff who did...
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!
Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.
Oakey whipped out a piece of Parchment and started to take small notes about the Nocious potion."Is this potion anything like the opposite of our Amortentia? Where that love potion reveals what smells we like most, the Noxious potion will have smells that are most unpleasent to us. Enough to knock us out even?"
It made sense to him. The other thing he had in mind was comparing it to chloroform, but he may save that for later.
"Very good," She said to her. "Are you feeling alright Miss Stewart-Quinn? Do you need the nurse?"
...
"Remember not all noxious things will kill you. There are a lot of noxious things that just make you sick or make you pass out. Now. Is anyone familiar with the Noxious Potion and it's effects? Or can you guess what it will do?" She asked the students.
Was she feeling alright? ...No. But she couldn't think of anything worse than going to the nurse right now. "I'm okay, thank you, Professor..." She wasn't going to pass out, probably, so she'd rather stay in lesson and try and learn...
The noxious potion? "It releases a green smoke that is foul smelling, and the potion itself would harm the drinker if taken..." Was that right? Or was she mixing it up with something else? Maybe? Oh she didn't know...
Ira's quill went to work on the parchment on front of her. Ira was simultaneously trying to listen to all answers and write down the ones she liked, but then that meant that she was slow to answer. Well no harm done!
About Noxious Potion.. Ira had actually studied a bit, more like glanced over it. She raised her hand up and answered, "Well, since it is called naxious potion, its intent is to harm the victim." Like, it was obvious, "But since I've not heard the potion killing anyone, I think that it just harms the drinker badly, with the main intention not real damage, but causing pain."
So... Sophie didn't really know anything about today's lesson, apparently. Or maybe she was just in one of her quiet days? Nah, those didn't really exist; the first option was probably the most accurate one.
The Hufflepuff decided to just sit there, listening to the others as they answered.
WAIT! She remembered quite well that one time she gave no answer and professor Lafay actually spoke directly to her demanding that she replied. But... she didn't know! Was she supposed to just make up a random answer just for the sake of replying to the Slytherin Head of House??
... Probably. Sigh. Alright then, she needed a good enough answer. Or any answer, really. "Noxious Potion is... one that..." That WHAT?? "That um... that's poisonous." There. It was an answer. Not the best one, but oh well.

"Nope, never heard of it."
Theo said with a nod. So, really, he shouldn't of said anything at all. Oh well, just so Lafay knew that he was listening and stuff. Because he very rarely did during the listening parts of potions class. Ooh, there was a spider on his desk.
SQUASH.
With his book, not his hands of course. Of COURSE.

Nate had no idea what the potion did, but he had a few ideas. He wouldn't say 'Does it make somebody die?' because the Professor just HAD to correct him. Well at least it did cause a negative effect to a person's body, and the worse thing that would happen if it makes someone vomit is a detention. It's not like he was going to end up there some time this year from all of his upcoming pranks...which half of them would probably send him to the Headmaster's office, but whateve...Nate didn't care about that. Because after all a few brilliant pranks didn't hurt anybody, right?! It's not like he could get expelled for not causing physical, mental, or emot-....well it might cause some emotional harm. But only like a tear or two! Or three...hundred. Nate raised his hand, then stated his answer. "Professor, what I think that potion would do is cause the person to vomit, or if worse comes to worse pass out." That's what the Professor corrected him about, so why not use it?!

And that was why they were here, to learn, so why couldn't they just be TOLD everything and take notes? Hmm? That was what she would have really liked to know, not stuff about some weird-scented potion.
But, really, that was the best guess she could take.
Hecate looked at the girl and glared.
"Thank you, Captain Obvious." She said sarcastically, "Can someone who actually wants to learn answer my question?"

Moving on from that. THIRD OF ALL, she was Head Girl Skylar. Fourth of all, she was NOT flirting with Dylan. Psh. That NEVER happened.
Of course, Lafay was really REALLY scary so she was not going to say any of those things. Instead, she settled for a quiet, "Yes, ma'am." There was no need to get into it with the woman. She was scary.
Okay, so there were two problems with Lafay's question. One was that she was not sure what exactly noxious meant and she had NO idea what type of potion that was to be honest. So she kept her hand down and stayed very silent. She was SO lost it was not even funny. They were talking about potions. The only thing she knew for sure about potions was that when she made them they blew up.
Well... she was no fun. She should have stuck to Shacklebolt...

And when they moved on, she finally raised her hand to supply an educated guess to the latest question.
"I'm not familiar with the potion, Professor," she admitted seeing as she wasn't really familiar with many potions. "But perhaps its supposed to make one sick or believe that whatever the person smells is noxious-smelling." Sounded like a good as guess as any.

Raising her hand she waited to be called on.
"Um Professor the Noxious Potion is a green potion that releases green puffs of smoke" Mika asked the look of wonder playing over her eyes.
She really wanted to know more about the potion but she guessed she'd give some more students the time to answer about it.

Raising her hand, the blonde waited to be called on. "Professor, I've only heard the word noxious in relation to gases or fumes so perhaps the potion gives off noxious fumes?" In which case, would they be wearing masks or anything while brewing it?

Also, because Professor Lafay felt better, it was more so likely that someone was getting hexed today. Seemed legit to him. Who would it be was the better question...and if no one felt inclined, perhaps he could...instigate...
The Slytherin Captain was good at bringing out feelings and emotions in others that they themselves were unaware of...
Dylan just needed a victim...
Hmph. Another question.
After some hand-raising, he spoke. "Professor, noxious can mean a smell that is simply unpleasant. So, perhaps this potion is one that makes someone smell revolting." Maybe it could...Maybe it couldn't. "Like if you were someone trying to deter someone's affections, perhaps you could take this and make them lose interest."...because nothing was more unattractive than a stinky female.
Ew.

Then Professor Lafay posed her next question. 'Hmmm.....what is the Noxious Potion?' Alyssa rubbed her chin as she thought out the answer. She had never seen one before but decided to hazard a guess. Raising her hand, Alyssa answered.
"Professor, I believe that the potion makes the person who is smelling it unconscious. It being something not good, its color would be most likely be green....I mean....it being something that is used for the benefit of the user, which is a good thing...it would most likely be green in color." Alyssa quickly amended her answer, belatedly remembering that Professor Lafay was the Head of House of Slytherin, whose house colors were green and black. 'Emphasis more on the black than green.' Alyssa nodded to herself.

She raised her hand. "My guess it's a potion that can harm someone or make them ill." Since Lafay had mentioned that not all noxious things kill.

Kat raised her hand. "As you said, Professor, not every noxious thing would kill you. So if the potion wouldn't really mean to kill," Kat paused. Let it sink in. But... why would something not poisonous NOT kill you? It kind of required some more thinking. Think like a Ravenclaw, act like a Slytherin. Ok, whatever. "It could injure you." Injuring would be the nearest thing to death that a Potion could manage.

Oichi raised her hand, "A noxious potion is a potion that may be poisonous in some way and emits green clouds of smoke when brewed correctly.".

At least her voice wasn't in such an odious tone as her mood. "When completed, it releases green puffs of smoke that, although it hasn't been proven yet, can be considered poisonous, therefore, it might bring harm and injury to the drinker or the one that would be able to inhale the smoke."
Wasn't that just appropriate for her current mood?
Very.

Not really knowing the potion Minerva thought about what it could mean. Putting up her hand, "Professor, could it be a potion that would make a person pass out for a bit or even fall into a sleep." she wasn't sure if that was right, but it sounded fun to do.

Nigel was not sure what else it does. But it sounds like an awesome potion. If not use on himself.

Yet she did remember one thing or two, "when released it gives off green clouds of smoke. Precisely what It does I am unsure, yet it is some kind of poison. Perhaps it makes a person collapse from all the harmful eh noxious fumes" She said upon raising her hand.

Though it's been said more than once, Cassia still raised her hand and spoke. "The potion has not very pleasant effects in fact harmful and dangerous ones." That about summed it up. Why speak a lot. "I think it comes in handy if you want to get rid of someone or just teach them a lesson." That wasn't part of the question. She just felt like wording out her bitter, Slytherin-ish thoughts. That was allowed right.

He knew better to say anything now, especially since she was no longer knocking on death's door, so he settled for a nod in Nell's direction.. though she was already sitting now and it was probably a moot point.
He turned his green eyes back to the front of the room and thought about the first question. Noxious sounded an awful lot like obnoxious.. though he knew the meanings were a bit different. The other students quite sufficiently provided the answer and he didn't really have anything to add to the definition that wasn't just an echo.
Noxious potion and its effects.. The sixth year had never brewed that one and wasn't entirely familiar with it, though he had heard of it before. He thought over its description as well as some of the other answer and raised his hand. "I'm fairly sure that one gives off green fumes. So maybe instead of drinking that potion, one just opens the vial to release noxious fumes.. and maybe that renders the recipient unconscious?" Yes, it was a guess.. but it was a guess inferred from what he knew.

"Yes Master Odessa, no one would or could drink the potion." She said to the boy.

Or it could be put into something, like food, and then it would make the food make the person who eats it sick?" Maybe it was worse if taken directly though? Eh, she didn't know. Just throwing out guesses here.

"Professor the fact that it's called noxious could explain what it does. It probably renders the drinker great harm or discomfort."

"Professor i know that noxious potions release a green fume or gas and it can make the victim violently ill. The maker of the noxious potion can also intend to injure or kill the person." That was all she knew so far.
"No. This potion does not kill. It would be banned by the ministry if that was it." She said to the girl.

Mo propped his chin on his fist and stared at the professor with unwavering green eyes as he thought.
Okay, maybe... he raised his hand. "Professor, it doesn't sound like it would be a poison based on the naming conventions we see for poisons. So either it's a non-poisonous potion that maybe smells really bad or is otherwise really offensive to the senses, or maybe it's a potion that can be used to identify poisonous things?" Like an indicator of sorts. That would be useful, right?
Hecate blinked. She looked at her roster. The boy was only a third year, and yet... Like father like son I guess... "Very good. It isn't a poison... though to my knowledge it can't be used as an identifier. People have tried though..."

After hearing all those guesses and the Professor's response, she thought she'd take a guess at the potion they'd be brewing. Could be poisonous, harmful, gross...
"Is it something used to knock people out?...like when someone's trying to get in the way of something you'd slip them some then move on with life like in those muggle movies?" They wouldn't be dead but they wouldn't be meddling either...
Was she right?
"In the right quantities, it can knock someone out. But you couldn't 'slip' them some." She told her.

She lowered her hand and gave it a little more thought. "I think a person would use it when they want to make a quick get-a-way or when they want to distract their opponent in a duel. Things like that. It releases green, odorous fumes, I think, and...most people get away really quickly when they see things like that."
"Yes it certainly can be used in a duel as a distraction" Very good. They were getting it.

"Well, Professor. I think the skiving snackbox also contains noxious potions? Because they could make someone sick or pass out." he spoke as he raised his hand. Luckily he'd never had them before but he used to prank people with Skiving snackbox when he was a child.
"Not really, you wouldn't be able to ingest them. The smell would be way too strong." She said. "And I certainly hope you do not have any of those... snackboxes on your person Master Head Boy."

Back to Lafay his attention went, though he caught Addy Kennedy smiling at him and he sent one back her way. She seemed dead nice.
Noxious.. yeah. Like noxious gases. The Gryffindor boy's dorms had it's own fair share of those..
Tom raised his hand once again. "Does it make poisonous gases? One whiff an' you're on the floor. Like puts you to sleep or makes you fall unconscious. Or maybe it jus' makes a bad smell." He added as an afterthought. "Like a stinkbomb in a bottle."

"Yes. That is correct." She said.

"The noxious potion emits a green smoke that corrupts the mind into thinking it's poisonous and noxious. The smell can be so strong that it can make you pass out, or feel ill and throw up. It is so strong in fact, that your mind will NOT allow you to ingest it. If it is forcibly consumed, nothing will happen to the victim expect... well... throwing it up. As that is what it trains the mind to do. It can injure the victim indirectly by making them pass out and fall, hurting themselves." She smirked. "They can be used as a distraction, by tossing the vial, or bottle on the ground and allowing the gas to do it's thing."
She was about to put up the list of ingredients when she opted to ask about them instead. "Who can tell me what ingredients are in this potion?"

Well that made sense. West nodded.
A distraction. Okay.
And ingredients? West thought about gross things. Really hard, and stuck his hand up.
"What about Titan Arum or Rafflesia Like the pollen or fruit or parts? Those are carrion flowers." And smelled like dead people and rancid meat. So. Another thought popped up so West kept his hand raised and added a question.
"Professor, could you get Stinkitus from being overexposed to fumes from the noxious potion? It sorta sounds similar to stink pellets so I was thinking maybe that could happen too?"

Dylan had no idea what she was talking about, he had never been near a potion except last year when they made one. He knew that he should have explored his Aunt Lucinda's potion room, but he was always too busy looking for more fun things to do than go into some dingy dark room to just look at stuff. So he stayed quiet and listened to what people were saying. He managed to glance over at where awesome Selina was and saw that she was looked.. somewhat.. quiet. *gasp* Oh no.. had something happened to that bat of hers again? He hoped not! cause he wasnt putting up those banners this time, some other unfortunate firstie could hang them up. Nooowwww.. if there were a little.. payment in putting them up.. that he could do.. say.. 5 points a banner? Huh.. huh Ms Head Girl.. what do you say? Deal? cause he could so do that deal.

She was about to put up the list of ingredients when she opted to ask about them instead. "Who can tell me what ingredients are in this potion?"
Hmmmph. Okay. That seemed legit.
Dylan listened carefully, pulling parchment, ink, and quill as he did so. He needed to write this down...Whilst he did that, he kept an ear open, listening to the ingredient being named. Running through his mental-catalog of potions-like stuff...he tried to think of something that could be used in such a potion.
Hmph. How he so wanted to be a smarty-pants and say 'Water'....
"Doxy eggs, ma'am?"

Potions Lesson One: The Noxious Potion
"The noxious potion emits a green smoke that corrupts the mind into thinking it's poisonous and noxious. The smell can be so strong that it can make you pass out, or feel ill and throw up. It is so strong in fact, that your mind will NOT allow you to ingest it. If it is forcibly consumed, nothing will happen to the victim expect... well... throwing it up. As that is what it trains the mind to do. It can injure the victim indirectly by making them pass out and fall, hurting themselves. They can be used as a distraction, by tossing the vial, or bottle on the ground and allowing the gas to do it's thing." - Professor H. Lafay

Ella had been quietly scribbling notes, paying close attention for the uses of the Noxious Potion. Distraction, eh? The blonde underlined that part, not that she'd ever use such a thing. Nope. It was always good to know these things though.
Hmmm...ingredients? Ella honestly wasn't sure, especially because she didn't know too much about the particular potion they were brewing. "Professor, water would probably be used as a base." Maybe? Ella was really just taking a guess.

Hmmm, what did someone use in a noxious potion? As usual, Alex had absolutely NO idea. He wanted to guess, but he had no idea where to even start with that. He listened to some other answers and tried to think in his brain about what would possibly make someone hallucinate and think they were being poisoned.
He raised his hand after a few minutes of hard concentration. "Perhaps onions or something? You need something really smelly to generate a noxious smell, right? I'm guessing something really strong, which is why I went with onions," he explained his reasoning.

Alyssa thought to herself as to what ingredient would make a person vomit. Hazarding a guess, she raised her hand.
"Professor, I've heard that morning glory seeds can cause a person to get nauseous and start throwing up when consumed. So maybe if it is mixed up in the potion, its fumes will do the same?"
'Hey it was worth a guess.' Alyssa thought to herself.
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite
This was perhaps the only part of any potions class that Lex didn't like. It was no secret that the girl didn't read so how did the Professor expect her to know what the ingredients to anything were? The answer was probably locked away in her textbook but she'd never know that. If you wanted to hide something from the girl, put it in a book.
SIGH.
She sat, elbows propped on the table and waited for the answers to come pouring in. It made her wonder. When OWLS finally came around and she'd have to do the potions one...how would she know half the answers??
Well...good thing there was always practicals to help make up for the grade and OWLS were pretty far off anyway. No need to worry now. Nah. For now she would be totally chill in potions class and wait to get to the cool stuff!

So it can be used as a diversion. Smirking at the thought, he got his parchment and quill and began to write down his notes. He noted too that this can be a stronger form of dungbombs, and it can leave a proper rotten memory to the victim.
So on to the ingredients.
The sixth year raised his hand before speaking. "Professor, how about Sulfur...or rotten eggs?"
Bleugh.

Selina was TOTALLY going to win this bet. It was in the bag because she had NO idea what was in this potion and she was pretty certain that she had no idea what was in ANY potion that Lafay would EVER mention. She knew that water always had to go in, but beyond that she was like a little puppy being served up for the slaughter in this class and she was SO thrilled. It meant that she was totally going to win. AND victory would be sweet.
Keeping her hand down BECAUSE she had no idea, Selina could not help but smile to herself rather proudly. Usually, she would have been mortified if she didn't know something in class, but she was actually pretty proud of herself. She knew that she'd be totally be okay on the bet side of everything with potions.
As to the actual class. Yeah, well, she was royally in trouble. So she just kept her hand down and waited for someone who had a CLUE to answer.
Belle was scribbling notes down to understand about noxious potions. She learned a lot. Good thing the potion did not kill you because then the ministry would have it banned like the professor said.
Then the professor asked for ingredients? Hmm....Belle did not know what was in it. Ella said there would be water. That was a logical answer she would pick. Belle sat there quietly. Then she had an idea.."Professor would Asphodel be used in this potion?"
Belle had no idea but at least she would get some credit for volunteering information.
Amelia didn't have any idea what was in the potion at all but she was going to give some ideas. After all she wanted to get this potion down and well be SUPER smart today. She was just ready to be you know super happy potion queen.
Raising her hand she waited to be called on.
"Professor how about armadillo bile?" why? Because it was bile and bile was gross.

Well. Fine, then. If Lafay didn't want answers, then Alice wouldn't give any. Maybe. HMPH.
Oh. It smelled, then? Her answer about it being noxious was right, anyways? No matter what the professor thought, she was content, so it was all fine. She continued to listen and scribble down occasional notes as the lady went on to explain what the potion was, exactly. And Alice still thought she was right. But.. ingredients? The only one of those she could name was water, too, and someone had already suggested that. What else was there, exactly?
Based on the glares Lafay was shooting her way, she couldn't afford another off answer. So.. yeah.. she could sit here.. and.. take notes.. yes. That was doable.

Susan was starting to think that maybe she should have read a book or too about potions before actually coming to class. She had no idea what would be in a noxious potion. Well if it smells that bad it must contain things that smell really bad too. "Could it contain arsenic?" Susan remembered when her grandpa burned it for an experiment he was working on..it was horrible.
Addy wasn't sure about what the ingredients could be... Something that would make the green smoke? She couldn't THINK of anything off the top of her head to be quite honest about it. So she jotted down some of the possibilities the others were calling out and tilted her head to the side in thought.
Ambrose thought back to any potion ingredient that may have a strong enough scent to disorient someone, he thought of stink pellet gas. Then thought of bubotuber pus which was pretty gross from the bubotuber plant. It did have a heavy smell that could contribute to the noxious potion's odour.
He furrowed his dark eyebrows thinking, hoping he would smell his hair burning from the thought process over heating his blonde head. He settled on an interesting guess.
Raising his hand he said,"Professor, how about flobberworm mucus." He was a first year and remembered from his curious reading of his potions book where it said flobberworm mucus is green which could give the potion its colour.

"What about rotten eggs?" Sierra suggested, raising her hand. She didn't even want to think about how awful the room would smell if everybody started using rotten eggs at once. It was a common potions ingredient, though, and they did need a way to make the Noxious Potion smell terrible.

It was hard to think of what exactly ought to go into a noxious Noxious Potion. Surely things that smelled, although perhaps that was a bit obvious. "Socks. Really stinky socks," Mo muttered, although that wasn't a real answer and he hoped she wouldn't count it. Just a for pretend answer, see?
"Maybe mustard seeds or oil, Professor? As far as mundane plants go, there aren't many that are more irritating to eyes, skin, and the smell..." He waved his hands. It burned out your nose hair, that much was for sure.
