Christmas knew she wasnt right but it was worth a guess she took a note of the ingredients that were in this potion and waited for the lesson to continue

The seventh year began to jot everything down... the suggestions that others gave and then the ingredients list given by LaStreak herself. And Rawdon. HEHE. She scooted her chair a little closer to his and smiled BRIGHTLY at him as he spoke of eye of newt being squidgy and all. Silly boy. At least he made her smile. HEHE.

But anyway back to the matter at hand... Potions. All of the ingredients were listed on her parchment verbatim as LaStreak put them for them all to see. And she had a question...

Raising her hand she chewed on her lip briefly before speaking, "I think it's fair to say that water is typically the base for most potions. What sets this particular potion apart, Professor? Is it the fact that this potion will not be ingested? That it is used to render the intended target ... wonky and all? And why milk?" Lowering her hand the girls face turned tomato red... was it okay to ask such questions of this particular professor?

It was just... the girl was a Ravenclaw. So CLEARLY she had questions.

Well, that was nice, having a right answer. Wade had a strange feeling however that they will be drinking this potion, whether they liked it or not.. Oh great, notes. Wade took his notebook out to write in..



Mucus, eggs, oil, poop, and seeds.. Well, this will sure be delicious.. As if. Wade thought last before looking up to see what the Professor had in store for them next.

So far so good. Kendall had managed to not get yelled at or anything, and she’d started taking notes as the discussion had turned to possible ingredients. She hadn’t had any ideas about possible things that could go into a potion that worked the way the noxious potion was supposed to work, aside from a guess that something was in there that would make the smoke part possible but nothing had come to mind as to what that ingredient might be. By then, Professor Lafay had spoken again, so she’d merely shifted to add a section to her journal under the description she’d noted about the uses and nature of the potion and silently started copying the list of ingredients down. That would keep her from needing to look up at the board once they got started brewing, at least.

She wasn’t looking forward to actually brewing it. The question of if it smelled bad while it was being made kept floating through her mind, along with the detail that a person would have to be forced to actually drink it. Something told her that either they were going to have to force themselves to, or someone else, and she didn’t particularly look forward to that. She wasn’t going to actually protest right now, though, or try to get up to retrieve the ingredients before they were told to. She was just going to stay here quietly and continue paying attention, also adding the obvious first step to the procedure that she knew was coming. It was the first step in all her notes from previous terms, and she wasn’t going to stop adding it into them now.

SPOILER!!: Potions journal

Noxious potion
description: emits a green, bad-smelling smoke that makes someone think it is poisonous, and can make a person pass out or feel like throwing up, which will definitely happen if the potion is ingested. Can also injure a person by making them pass out and hit their head, and can be used as a distraction.

Ingredients:
Milk , enough to fill cauldron half way.
5 Doxy eggs
10 grams of Sulfur
2 ounces of armadillo bile
4 cups of flobberworm mucus
1 cup of whale oil
2 cups of Mountain Troll Dung
juice of one lemon
a handful of Poppy seeds

Steps:
1. Scourgify cauldron and make sure that it is clean and uncontaminated by anything

So if you put the FEAR of stinkitus into a victim exposed to the noxious potion you could pretty well guarantee they'd get it and end up in St. Mungos for a while? Well that was kind of interesting right? West absorbed this and the list of ingredients with an air of someone who thought what he was learning was groundbreaking stuff.

Which made him think of a question so he put his hand up. "Professor, does it work on Muggles? I mean, if they don't know about the full extent of what it could mean, you're just left with the stink of it, and how some potions don't work for Muggles, I just wondered...." Would it?

No lovage. Well, that's something to learn. Kat listened to the other students suggest some more ingredients. Troll... dung. Ew. Lemon's juice? That can be lemonade too. Sulfur. That's gross. No wonder why you'd barf with this. Not listening to the suggestions anymore cos of weak appetite reasons, Kat waited until Lafay had the ingredients on the board.

When she did, Kat scribbled on her parchment.

Laura looked at the Professor and sighed, she had a feeling that would have been wrong but well it would be awesome if it had been right but oh well never mind it was now time to concentrate something she was finding hard to do this year.

It WAS a good answer, indeed! Everyone was offering up ingredients...but a lot were missing their mark. Could he just be smug for a moment? Could he?

Well, the Slytherin was going to anyway...

And then they were getting an ingredients list. Pulling his parchment closer, her dutifully wrote down everything, making sure his measurements were correct. Everything was in order...

So, what was next?

No water? Cool. Also cool? The sweet and encouraging way in which Professor Lafay always let people down. ...Yeah. Ella blinked at the women and nodded, regretting guessing. Oh well, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Picking up her quill, the fourth year copied down the list of ingredients on to her parchment. She then waited with her wand and hand until she was instructed to begin.

So blue cheese was not being used, yet there were plenty of other stinky ingreidiants involded. Like sulphur for example.
Sarah hastily added the ingreidiens to her notes

Ewwww! Just ewww!

Peyton wrinkled her nose at some of the ingredients that were going to be used. Things like mucus and dung turning her stomach a bit. What sucked the most was that milk was being added. She loves milk. Especially with cookies and now it was being used for some foul potion.

She wrote them down anyway, making a face as she wrote some of them down. She didn't like icky stuff.

Potions time!

As gross as this subject was at times, Ness half enjoyed it. It reminded her a bit of cooking and it was sort of fun, just not something Nessie was hugely passionate about because it involved quite a few gooey things.

Ingredients time though, yes?

The red head looked at the board and scribbled them down to add to her heading and little description. Once the ingredients were written down, she skimmed them with a huge cringe already noticing things she didn't want to touch or work with. Like flobberworm mucus. They wouldn't have to physically touch that with their hands right? Because ewww if they did!

Trying not to think about mucus, Ness looked at Lafay waiting for permission to head to the storage cupboard.

Okay, so her guesses were wrong. But the interesting thing was, that the ingredients didn't look so bad as the potion itself.

Shaking her head to clear her head, and better concentrate, she pulled her parchment forward and started writing notes:



Okay so water wasn't used, and instead of that cow's milk was used as a base. And seriously, dung was used? Ew! And Ira was particularly thinking of one thing. How were they going to be preparing this potion? It was a potion whose smell alone was enough to make one go crazy. So imagine if the whole class prepared the potion at once, it would be so crazy in the classroom!

Ira's eyes widened, and her hand involuntarily covered her nose and mouth.

Daichi had been rather quiet during the lesson. It wasn't that he wasn't interested but he couldn't concentrate due to his mind taking him to a certain person. He missed his girlfriend Indy who had gone to Beauxbaton during the summer and the Prefect let out a small sigh.

He listened with half an ear to what the Professor was saying and only began to pay attention when she pointed at the blackboard again. The sixth year blinked his eyes and decided to stupid sighing and do his best in the lesson. After all, what if some of the first years saw him and they took note of his lousy example. He looked in his bag with his hand as he touched Mr.Duckles' head with a smile. He then digged further until he found a quill and parchment and began to write the ingredients on it.

As the rest of the class offered up possible ingrediants for the potion they were supposedly going to make, Ellura sat quietly paying attention to the various options. Some were downright questionable while others...well others she was unsure of. Finally after Lafay agreed on what were to be included, the list of ingrediants appeared on the board. Looking it over a few times, the third year Gryffindor copied the list down in her notes, careful to double check.



Yep...certainly a sickening potion. Thankfully Ellura wasn't a girly girl and afraid of these types of things.

But still...yuck.

Belle shrugged when the professor mentioned that the Asphodel was not an ingredient. Then she realized the professor was writing ingredients down on the board. Belle scribbled them into her notebook.


After Belle copied the ingredients, it sounded disgusting to make. She would muddle her way through though.

Dung...not dungbombs..

''Yeah.''

Was not that better? Dung? And it was not only dung but also 'Mountain Troll Dung'. Now he could clearly see why this potion was not supposed to be drunk. Yet still...he was yet to understand the full purpose of brewing this potion. Maybe to gross someone out? But there could be many other easier ways to do that. He could think of many. And he was sure that this Dragon Lady knew a few as well. So there had to be another purpose.

Mountain Troll Dung...

The Slytherin snorted as he took out a new parchment and quill from his bag to take notes and write the list of ingredients. Once he was done, he raised a hand to ask a question. ''Professor...the milk. What kind of milk it is? Cow, goat, sheep or whatever.''

As Alex scribbled down the ingredients required to make the potion, he had a feeling that it wasn't exactly TRICKING the person's mind in to thinking it smelled bad--milk? That was like, the number one thing you added to something when you wanted it to stink. This just seemed like a big ole stinky potion to Alex.

SPOILER!!: notes

Milk - to fill cauldron half way.
5 Doxy eggs
10 grams of Sulfur
2 ounces of armadillo bile
4 cups of flobberworm mucus
1 cup of whale oil
2 cups of Mountain Troll Dung
1 Lemon's juice
Handful of Poppy seeds

Minerva sat and listened to the others answering the question. She tried to figure out what could be in the potion. Hmmm it's not deadly, but it does make someone sick or pass out. Maybe old socks.. Minerva laughed in her head at her own joke, but then really tried to figure out what might be in the potion. She went to raise her hand to see if maybe the flesh eating plant from last term could be thrown into this potion just to watch it sizzle, but Professor Lafay put up the ingredients.

Taking out her parchment Minerva began to write. She looked and double checked her parchment to make sure she had all the ingredients put down. Dung?? Really?? Still better then blood and leeches that they had last term.

You see that? Just listen to all those ingredients. She wouldn't have guessed a single one of them. This was why she kept quiet until the brewing part came up. That was the best part, watching the different reactions and all that taking place in the cauldron. She had yet to actually blow anything up but she was working on it!

One day something would go BOOOOM and she'd totally be beaming about it. Everyone knew you weren't a true potioneer until you made something blow up. Duh.

She turned her attention to the board and began scribbling off the ingredients. She'd need to know them for later maybe.

Hecate turned to the girl and shrugged. "I didn't create the potion, but if you look through past potions recipe ingredients, you will see that although more used, water isn't always a potion base. Bone regenerative potions have milk bases... there is one that has a flobberworm mucus base... not to mention other potions with other bases. It isn't a special potion, it's just that sometimes you need thicker bases. Curdled milk is something that emits a horrible smell..."

She smirked at the boy. "It's a good question. A Muggle's brain is wired slightly differently than a wizards. But in this case, the potion will work in the same manner... the muggle will be disgusted and could pass out. As they don't know about Stinkitus, they are in no danger of contracting it."

"Did you not hear me confirm Cow Milk Master Turner?" She said getting annoyed.

"If you have not gone to get your ingredients, do go now..." She said beginning to get irritated. "The troll dung is in pre-measured jars try to get some with chunks..."

She scurgified her cauldron and summoned the milk, pouring it into the cauldron. "Then fill your cauldron half way with the milk and start your burner on a low fire."

Oh.. those ingredients.. yeah. Alice was definitely going to end up blowing a cauldron up, didn't anyone REALIZE? And she wouldn't have guessed a single one of those. Runes was much easier than this, way simpler. But, still, she was going to attempt not to explode anything in this lesson. So she continued her careful notes, being sure not to miss anything. Or else something was obviously going to burst into flames and smoke.



OH. And they were getting the ingredients now? Okay. Alice went to fetch all of the things, taking them each back to her area one at a time and being VERY careful not to spill anything. Because that would be bad. She even chose the chunkiest dung she could spot. Next, she moved on to cleaning the cauldron. "Scourgify." Milk, now? The lioness poured her milk into the thing, taking care to get in just the right amount. Or it maybe possibly could have been more or less.. whatever. A small bit of milk here and there couldn't explode anything, right?

She hoped not.

And.. the burner. The fourth year set it to a LOW fire, just like Lafay had instructed, and watched the milk do whatever it was supposed to be doing. And awaited further instructions, mmhmm, like a good little child.

ALRIGHT! POTION TIME!!!

Lex hopped up from her seat and hurried over to the cupboards to get the ingredients she'd need. There wasn't much time to waste, she wanted to see how cool the noxious think would look when it was done PLUS they always got to keep a little of anything they made so that was some extra incentive for her to hurry.

Once she was back at her cauldron she placed everything on the table around it then drew for her wand.

"Scourgify." And bam the cauldron was clean. BEAM. She was getting better with her spells.

Then she got to the milk filling and once that was done she set a low fire under the cauldron.

NEXT PLEASE!!

Minerva got up and went to the ingredients. Pulling out everything she needed, Minerva went back to her work station. Checking and double checking her list Minerva sat back down and pulled out her cauldron. Pointing her wand at the cauldron, "Scourgify"

Once the cauldron was clean Minerva poured the milk halfway into her cauldron then pointed her wand again. Pointing to the bottom of the cauldron she started her low fire. Watching the front of the class, Minerva waited for the next steps.

Right...she needed to get the ingredients.

That did make sense for without them she couldn't exactly coo---brew the potion. Getting up from her seat, Ellura picked up her parchment containing the list and followed the example set by other students to the supply cabinet. She gathered as much as she could carefully before returning to her workstation, repeating the process a second time to get the very last ingredients.

Back at her workstation, she set her cauldron down on the burner so she could begin though now the third year was unsure of things. Remembering the first step given, Ellura poured in the milk, filling her cauldron halfway. However she had missed the professor's action of cleaning the cauldron, herself unfamiliar with brewing potions in the first place.
