Whale oil? Nerida was honestly curious how you got the oil? And was it really from a whale...But she wasn't curious enough to ask Professor Lafay. Nose clamps?? Eww..It was time wasn't it...The dung!!!!?? People would throw up? Gross!! Hopefully no one around her!!!

She just wrinkled her nose in disgust and took her nose clamp and quickly placed it onto her nose. Hopefully it would help her tons!! She hated yucky icky smells!!

She picked up the whale oil and let it drizzle into the potion slow from the side just like Professor Lafay had done. She set the container down, and just as she was going to take the yucky dung.. She heard something gross...

And it was worse than what she thought it sounded like... The contents of someones stomach unfortunately found themselves onto her feet and legs..."EWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Gross...Gross...Gross...

Alyssa watched as the Professor demonstrated the next steps on how to make the potion, and when she was done, Alyssa stood up and picked up the cup of whale oil and leaning it against the side of the cauldron, she let the oil slowly drizzle into the potion. Once she was sure that all the oil had been emptied into the potion, she placed the cup aside.

She then reached out and took one of the nose clamps that Professor Lafay was handing it. Placing it on her nose, and feeling it pinch her nostrils, Alyssa then picked up the jar of Mountain Troll Dung....and immediately gagged.

ACK!!! YUCK!!!... The nose clamp barely held back the obnoxious smell spewing from the dung. Alyssa quickly held her breath even as she added the dung into the potion. She lifted up one elbow and she tried to stick her nose in the crook of her arm as she released her held breath and snuck in another deep breath.

She couldn't wait for this class to be over because the first place she was headed for was the showers. Alyssa was sure that not only did her clothes smell, her hair most likely did as well.

Alyssa picked up her quill and updated her journal.

Amelia glanced up after finished vomitting - her face paling as she realized who she had thrown up on. Oh god. Alice. She felt bad about that.

Alice was cool.

So she really felt bad about you know vomiting on her and all that jazz. So Mika quickly pointed her wand to the girl and quietly spoke a cleaning spell. "Scurgify" she muttered and then glanced to Professor Lafay with a confused look. Was she trying to get all the houses points revoked for vomiting in her class?

Mika had felt bad about all the puking and stuff at first. But when it happened to hit Nerida she had to stifle a laugh. Yes!

The girl who had taken the awesome puff from her was now covered in sickly bile. Her work was done yes? Revenge was successful. "Sorry about the vomit" she muttered pointing to the two girls.

Her face was far less green now - but really she didn't want to be anywhere near this stupid potion any longer. Why make a potion that makes you hurl while making it? And why use Mountain Troll Dung?

Kaiden had listened intently as his classmates listed off possible potions ingredients, but he hadn’t had a clue about what could be in the potion. What could be in a potion that could be as gross as the one they were going to make? The grossest thing he could think of was mayonnaise. BLECK. When the list of ingredients appeared on the board, he scribbled them down, and then followed the rest of the class to collect the required ingredients. He had half a mind to grab them all in one trip, but when he almost dropped the jar of troll dung, he sat it back down, made a couple of trips.

Sitting back at the work station, he scooted this ingredients away from the edge of the table and waited for the next bit of instructions from the Potions Mistress. And they came soon enough. Following her example, he pointed his wand at the cauldron, and said “Scourgify.” Making sure it was all clean, he poured enough milk into it to fill in half way. And now, for placing it over the burner, he cast “Incindeo” and watched the flame burn low.

She cracked, dropped, and stirred. Crack, drop, and stir... five times.

"Then put on your gloves and take the gems of Sulfur, crumpling them into the milk with your hands." She said and again, she showed them how to do it.

The reluctant Hufflepuff wasn’t paying much attention to the things going on in the class. No, he was entertained by the fire, wishing he was camping out. He did snap out of his thoughts when Lafay started giving more instructions. Right, Doxy eggs, what ever they were. Casting scourgify on his stirring implement, he picked up one of the small eggs, and cracked it, letting all the egg innards fall into the cauldron. Picking up his stirring spoon, he stirred once counter clockwise. It then went Crack. Stir. Crack. Stir. Crack. Stir. Crack. Stir.

After that bit was done, he then donned his gloves, and picked up some of the sulfur. The smell kind of burned his nose. He balled his hand into a fist to crush the little yellowish gems, and then let it fall into the cauldron, and then did it again. To once the full amount was in the cauldron, he then watched as Miks finished her part as he slid off his gloves. She was awfully good at all this.

Kaiden listened carefully to this next bit on instructions. Right, that sounded difficult. Carefully, he measured out the two ounces of bile, and picked up his stirry spoon. Setting it into the liquidy stuff, he began stirring it very fast in a clockwise motion until it spun by itself. Quickly, he poured in the bile, and watched as the spinning slowed and then stopped. So, now time for the flobber worm stuff yeah? Taking a freshly cleaned wooden spoon, he spooned in all four cups of the stuff. And yeah, that mucusy stuff was cool!

She waited a moment and then summoned her jar of troll dumg. "The clamp will help, but it won't mask it all so... try not to throw up in the cauldron."

She added the content of the Mountain Troll Dung jar. If that Branxton kid was grossed out by the mucus, she wondered what would happen with this. "Just add it in as quickly as you can."

Which she was because soon enough her stirring was in effect and the potion was being vigurously stirred in the direction of a clock.

When it was in full spin she dropped in the two ounces of armadillo bile and then just sat there watching the hypnotic spin of the potion. Waiting...waiting...waiting - why was it still SPINNING.

After what seemed like ages the girl finally sighed with GLEE as the potion had stopped spinning. When it had finished she took another clean wooden spoon and carefully scooped and spooned four cups of ictastic flobberworm mucus into the cauldron.



She had been waiting for her potion to quit spinning when Professor Lafay had snapped at Selina and then continued to give the next instructions. She just bit her lip and looked up at the Professor - her throat drying as she heard what was going in next.

Oh pooh. She just wrinkled her nose in disgust and took her nose clamp and quickly - a little too quickly placed it onto her nose. A little squeak of discomfort later she was ready to start with the next step.

She carefully picked up the cup of whale oil and started to drizzle in the oil. Low and slow of course as demonstrated. Her nose clamp was on a little longer than it should have been but it was best to get used to it.

Two cups? WHY two cups? She thought as the stench of Troll dung began to fill the air with its acrid - gag scent.

"Oh god I'm going to be sick" she groaned a whistling sound emanating from her nose as she tried to breath - but breathing only made it worse. She gagged a bit as she quickly dropped it into the cauldron. The scent just seeping out to her covered nose yet again.

The stench was so overpowering that all she could do to stop from throwing up in her cauldron was to turn her head slightly. The contents of her stomach unfortunately finding a new home on the floor, and some unfortunate fellow students and people who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

On the bright side. She felt loads better.

Whale oil? Nerida was honestly curious how you got the oil? And was it really from a whale...But she wasn't curious enough to ask Professor Lafay. Nose clamps?? Eww..It was time wasn't it...The dung!!!!?? People would throw up? Gross!! Hopefully no one around her!!!

She just wrinkled her nose in disgust and took her nose clamp and quickly placed it onto her nose. Hopefully it would help her tons!! She hated yucky icky smells!!

She picked up the whale oil and let it drizzle into the potion slow from the side just like Professor Lafay had done. She set the container down, and just as she was going to take the yucky dung.. She heard something gross...

And it was worse than what she thought it sounded like... The contents of someones stomach unfortunately found themselves onto her feet and legs..."EWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Gross...Gross...Gross...

As he waited for more instructions, the boy found himself watching the potion doing its stuff in his cauldron, and too the occasional peek up at Miks. He would never admit it, but he was startled when Lafay started talking to the class once more. Oops. Cup of Whale oil. He picked up the little container it was in, and watched how the potions mistress poured hers in. Carefully he imitated the professor’s actions, letting it all drizzle in, though he may have done it a little faster than she had.

Kaid grinned widely when he looked back up and saw the clamp on the woman’s nose. It couldn’t really be THAT bad could it? He did take one though, when the basket reached him, and he placed it on his nose. Err, it was uncomfortable. Before opening the jar, he just kind of looked at the stuff. “I wonder who has to collect this stuff?” he asked out loud with a stuffy sound. That had to be the worst job ever. Opening the jar, he quickly realized it was bad, really bad. He stopped breathing, as he tried pouring the stuff quickly. As it was plopping into the cauldron, he heard someone retching beside him.

“Miks!” he said turning to her, concerned for his friend, and glad she hadn’t gotten sick all over him, but that other girl. The one he didn't like. Reaching out, he place his hand on her back and rubbed like his mother did when he was sick. “You okay?”

Well, at least the part about the whale oil didn’t sound bad. As far as Kendall was concerned, Gryffindors seemed to be trying to get Professor Lafay to explode and hex somebody if not worse, considering Alexa had gotten yelled at, then another Lion had actually dared to reprimand the professor, and then Selina had messed up and gotten told to just stop brewing altogether. Honestly, except for the part about having to go to the potions lab after class to brew the potion under the professor’s close supervision, she was tempted to attempt the same thing. Except that wasn’t going to make the classroom smell any nicer. As it was, she wondered if holding her breath would help. There couldn’t be that much left to the lesson. She might survive. However, she wasn’t going to do either thing. She didn’t have it in her to stop following every step that was demonstrated as shown, even if she wanted to, and she would have had to take a deep breath before holding it. Therefore, she really couldn’t avoid the smell. She’d just have to suck it up and deal with it. And then probably go shower, or jump in the lake, or something to get rid of any lingering smell and then eat lots of chocolate so she could forget it all.

The whale oil didn’t sound bad. It didn’t even smell that bad, comparatively. Just a little oily, and she started drizzling it into her cauldron from the side slowly once she’d measured out a cup into her freshly Scourgified measuring cup. The longer she took for that, the longer she could push off the really bad part. The dung. She’d made sure to grab a nose clamp as the basket passed by her workstation, anyway, and put it on her nose tightly as soon as she finished drizzling the last little bit of oil. Maybe now I can hold my breath for a little bit. Just long enough til the dung’s inside my potion, she thought, abandoning the thought as soon as she’d heard the gagging from others and noticed Mika throw up all over a few others. Or not. She was just going to try to get it all over with as fast as possible. Picking up the jar she’d brought to her workstation, she kept her eyes open long enough to make sure she was holding the jar over her cauldron, then shut them tightly as she opened it and tipped it. At least then she couldn’t see it dropping wetly into the mixture, and she mostly couldn’t smell it. Mostly. The nose clamp wasn’t good enough to block everything, and the worst part was the sound. It was over soon, though, and she hesitantly opened her eyes to check that the jar was empty. It was, so she quickly closed it again and set it aside before burying her face in her journal to write down the steps she’d just completed. At least lemon juice and poppy seeds didn’t smell bad, and that was all that was left.

Moving to the next step, Gary measured out the armadillo bile and then he stirred the potion vigorously CLOCKWISE. Yes, it was clockwise. Because if he did it to the wrong direction, it would be not right, right? After that he dropped 2 ounces of the bule when it's in full spin. Then, what's next? He waited for the potion to stop spinning then took 4 cups of flobberworm mucus and used the wooden spoon to spoon it.

He didn't want to comment about the mess that his co-Head Girl had made to her potion. Actually, poor her. But the Head Boy just kept silent, Lafay was too scary. Gary focused on his potion work. Moving to the next step, he added the whale oil from the side of his cauldron and let it drizzle. Next..

Fun part? Sigh.

Troll dung.. Well, it was disgusting. But he didn't want to comment much, just did what on the step had instructed. Putting the nose clam, he added the dung to his cauldron quickly and tried not to breathe.

Peyton looked up at Richard, a pout on her lips. This was smelly and she wanted to go to a better smelling place, but she didn't say that. She was supposed to be 'mature' just how her sister had put it. Pffft, she bet Yvanna wouldn't like it either if she were here. Peyton shook her head. "I'm alright right now," she said. Then added the a cup of whale oil, mimicking the way Professor Lafay was doing it.

Taking the basket of nose clamps that was being passed around, she took two and passed the basket to the person on the table after theirs. "Here, I don't want you passing out at the smell of troll dung," she said with a small smile. She was joking of course. Richard was too strong to get knocked out by a very smelly troll's dung.

She added the dung as fast as she could, trying to breath through her mouth, but that wasn't helping. She could still smell that THING. She glanced over at Richard to see how he was doing with the smell and...

Peyton had turned around just in time to see a Ravenclaw girl blow chunks out. Ewwww! She automatically spun around, facing Richard again, and maybe even making a small 'meeeep' sound that only he'd be able to hear, and maybe even Aurora. One thing was smelling terrible things, the other was seeing gross stuff. She couldn't deal with it. Her face paled a little, her eyes closed shut.

Was it gone yet?

Even if you weren't stirring with it and you were just spooning? West supposed it was a good habit or something. So when did you use a metal one? That would have been his next question if the next set of instructions hadn't come. Drizzle in the whale oil. He did that carefully. Slowwww and lowwwwww. West then grabbed a nose clamp and put it on, taking the time to make sure he had it secure, and then blinked at the professor.

Okay. Puke wasn't an ingredient in this one. Got it. And it was pre-measured right? And he had a chunky one of course. West undid the lid and tried to add it carefully so that it wouldn't splash back.

Wouldn't want your dung to splash back.

He shut the jar up again not wanting to smell the residue in that either, and then he stepped back a bit just so that he wasn't gonna get any cauldron stink wafting directly at him.

.....

Retching sounds? West looked around curiously.

Their potions were all gonna be ruined.

Armadillo bile next. She watched the demonstration for a few before working on her own, copying the tidbits of information on her parchment for reference.

After measuring the Armadillo bile, the Ravenclaw did as what they were told which was to stir the potion vigorously clockwise. Stir, stir, stir, stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir, stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir...Ooops, oops, oops! Spillage! Only a minimal amount though. But it made her insides churn that she froze and slowly looked at Lafay, wide eyed, hoping against hoping that the woman didn't see what just happened. Okay, okay. She was too engrossed with watching over the others so Beezus used the chance to quickly clean up the itty bitty spill.

She swallowed hard and tried to calm her shaking hands as she resumed stirring. This time, she was more careful. The two ounces of Armadillo bile went in. Phew. Letting it sit, she then took the 4 cups of flobberworm mucus and as instructed, scooped it in with a wooden spoon.

....Let the whale oil drizzle from the side. Okay, okay...she was doing that with some sort of hissing because her hand seemed to be running after the title of 'Most Unsteady Hand' in that class.

That part took longer than she had expected but at least she survived it without a mess.

O.o Fun part?

Oh, drat. The troll dung. Of course, she took one of those nose clams and put it on because even though she was used to working with dungs of all sort, any substance discharged by trolls was FOUL. Be it in odor or appearance. Eww.

Only, it had to be done.

And so, face scrunching up in both concentration and abhorrence, Beezus added in the troll dung into her potion as swiftly as she could. First cup. Bleeergh! Eww. Ack. Gah... She could feel bile rise up to her throat at the horrifying, sickening smell. Nor did it look any better. Her eyes stung too, as though it's smell was trying to find a way into her system. Second cup. She retched. Anything but troll dung!

This time, they were going to add in the whale oil. Kat did the same as Lafay demonstrated it in front, drizzling it slow from the side. Once finished, Kat looked up to see Lafay with a nose clam on.

...?

Hold the phone. Fun part? The potion itself didn't seem fun. Not at all. Kat had to obey the instructions though, so she took one nose clamp and put it on. Hopefully it wouldn't deform her nose. She needed it to BREATHE and breathing meant living. She kind of stared as her Head of House dropped in the Mountain troll dung in. Oh Merlin, that was disgusting. Despite having a clamp, she wrinkled her nose anyway. Seriously, that was disgusting. Kat took a deep breath and held it for a short while as she opened the jar of mountain troll dung and added it into the potion as quickly as she could. Once she sealed the now empty jar, that was when she released her breath. Sighs. At least she didn't vomit her contents out... Not like that Ravenclaw girl who did.

Gross.

Christmas watched Professor Lafay as she added the whale oil to the potion and Christmas did what the professor did and then saw Lafay with a nose clamp on and put one on her own and where was the fun in this potion and Christmas knew she had to obey instructions and took a deep breath as she opened the jar with the mountain troll dung in it and added it to her potion as quickly as she could and then re-sealed the empty jar and was glad that she didn't throw up

Giving Eliza one last glance, Daichi turned back to his own potion because he didn't want to fall behind. Picking up the whale oil, Daichi added the cup to the cauldron and watched how it drizzled. When the Professor went around with a basket that reminded him of the basket filled with chocolates from last year and told them to take a nose clam. He picked one out and while watching his fellow students he placed the clam on.

His eyes had gone towards Selina who seemed to have trouble with her potion. Daichi felt sliiightly bad for her cause you do not want to mess up a potion in the presence of Lafay.... But then again she was Gryffindor so mweh. And Dylan was helping her anyways so score for Slytherin, hehe.

The clamp won't mask the smell completely? Daichi had the feeling what was going to happen and he silenty prayed that nothing would... come out.

He grabbed the jar of troll dung and took a deep breath despite wearing the clam. He held his breath as he opened the lid and when he did he heard an disgusting sound. Stupidly turning his head to find the source, he found Amelia throwing up on the floor and even on her fellow students close by. Seeing this it send a signal of disgust through him as he gagged as well. And now that he gagged he accidently took a breath and smelled the dung himself.

It...was...horrible... A thousand of perfumes could not mask the smell. The Slytherin dropped the dung as quickly as possible inside the cauldron. But the smell that filled the classroom was too much and the Prefect held his breath again.

He had not thrown up which was an accomplishment... instead he was slowly turning red in the face from holding his breath.

Oichi heard the professors response to her and smiled lightly. The professor atleast knew what she said was wrong. But reporting her, maybe she would and maybe she would'nt!

Oichi turned to Lexi and said, "I'm sorry about all this. I heard the work kill with a threat from the professor and felt I had to do something."

Oichi then returned to her station and continued work on her potion. She grabbed her whale oil and let it drizzle into her potion. She then saw the nose plugs, she was not putting those on, they looked rediculous. She grabbed her bag and took out her nose plugs she used to use for allergies during the summer at home. She put them on. She then grabbed for the mountain troll dung, this was the part she was waiting for. She smiled as she slowly unscrewed the jar. She soon smelled a small whiff of the stuff and cringed. Man, that stuff is fowl, COOL!!!!!
She quickly poured the jar in her cauldron. Nothing happened, eh. She felt a little disappointed but she also knew she was that much closer to finishing the potion and could not wait to continue. The potion was fun even though the professor was a real witch.

She was alright for now. Good. ''Nice. If you say so.'' Richard said eyeing her a bit. Yes, she looked alright for the time being but it was very clear on her expression that she was not happy at all. Anything could happen so he was going to have an eye on her. When the professor started to speak, he looked up at the woman watching her add in the whale oil. Cup of whale oil. Riiight. He should have it here on his work area somewhere. He pushed the other containers aside to get the whale oil cup. Once he picked it, he dumped it into the cauldron watching it blend into the potion.

Now...the fun part?

Really?

Richard snorted rather loudly. If this woman found troll dung fun, he wondered what she thought about...eh whatever. He was distracted from eyeing the woman when Peyton spoke to him anyway. His gray eyes landed on the girl and he chuckled as he took the nose clamp. ''Thanks. Be careful. Try to hold your breath or something.'' Because he knew this clamp was not going to work and he was going to do that; hold his breath. He put the clamp on anyway and took the jar of dung. With a rather sour face, he opened the jar and held his breath. Gah! It still felt like he could smell it. Gross. He added it in quickly and threw the jar away. It rolled down his work area and fell on the floor with some of the doxy eggshells he had on the work area. He did not know if the jar was broken but he did not care. ''Whoops. My bad.'' he said lazily after taking the nose clamp off.

Then he turned back to Peyton to see if she was alright. Eh...she looked a bit pale and... ''Peyton!'' Good Merlin! What did happen? ''Peyton...are you okay?'' Her eyes were closed and it looked like she surely was having a difficult time. Richard put each hand to the sides of her head and held her gently. ''Peyton. Look at me.''

After Belle added the eggs, Belle noticed another set of directions. Belle saw she needed to measure out the armadillo bile and begin stirring the potion vigorously. She measured two ounces of the bile. Then she stirred the potion fast clockwise. It looked cool seeing the circles. Once it was in full spin, Belle poured the armadillo bile into the potion. Then she waited a couple seconds for it to stop spinning.

Then Belle took the 4 cups of flobberworm mucus and spooned it in with the wooden spoon. It all seemed pretty easy. Then once she was done she waited for the next set of directions.

After Belle was waiting only for a couple seconds, she noticed the professor added another set of directions. She realized she needed to add the whale oil from the side. That did not sound too hard. Belle took her cup and poured it into the potion, nice and slow. That was the KEY.

Now the fun part? What fun part? Belle noticed the professor putting a clamp on her nose. O__O. This ingredient must be stinky. She took no chances. Figures the next ingredient would be troll dung. She hoped she would not throw up. She was pretty good at keeping things down.

Belle took her troll dung and added it as quickly as she could. She even held her breath a few times. It was only 2 cups so that was a relief. Belle still kept her clamp on for a few minutes to diffuse the smell.

:: Yes, this potion was happening. Ganymede tried every escape tactic she knew after the nose clamp was on. As she fiddled with all the vile ingredients, she tried to imagine herself somewhere nice. Someplace where flowers bloomed and skies were blue and clear. She gagged a few times as she stirred with her wooden spoon still aware of the nature of the items.

A sudden bout of nausea overcame her, quickly she slapped herself hard across her face. "SMACK". It worked, it prevented her from ralphing and also diverted her attention from the troll dung.

Who has to get these ingredients? Bless those poor souls. They better get paid millions of galleons. Ganymede thought while sweat dripped down her forehead. She didn't dare mess this up, she never wanted to do this again. ::

Peyton felt hands on the sides of head and cracked one eye open. It was Richard. She opened her other eye and nodded slowly. "Yeah," she said in a small voice. She had managed to get a hold of herself and thank Merlin she didn't throw up like the Ravenclaw girl did. That would've been awful.

Slowly, she turned to where the Ravenclaw girl was and was glad all the sick had been cleaned up. "I'm better now...I just can't stand gross stuff," she whispered lowly, eyeing the front of the classroom where Lafay was. She didn't want to get them in trouble. She smiled up at Richard. He was niiice. ^__^

Ella jumped a little when Professor Lafay began scolding Ms. Head Girl. Frown. Some people just weren't great at potions, yeah? Just like Ella wasn't particularly good at Divination? Everyone had their strong subjects and those subjects that they were awful at. Maybe this was just Selina's awful subject? Shrug. The small blonde badger decided she'd offer the older girl some gummy worms after class, those might help her forget the scolding.

Anywhoo...back to business. Ella grabbed the cup of whale oil, tilting it at the side of the cauldron and watching as it drizzled slowly into her potion. The fifteen year old's eyebrows raised a bit at the 'fun part' comment, knowing that anything Professor Lafay found fun was probably unpleasant. And the nose clamp? That kind of sold Ella on the fact that they were about to deal with something pretty gross...even grosser than Armadillo bile. Mhm!

Placing the clamp securely on her nose, Ella's green eyes widened as Professor Lafay warned them not to puke. EEP! She didn't want to be that girl. You know, the puker of Hogwarts. It wasn't the best thing to be known for, right?

O____o...wait, hadn't she puked on Ariana during flying?! Dun. Dun. Dun...

Don't puke....Don't puke...Don't puke...

The badger repeated this over and over to herself, hoping this would help keep her stomach from churning. She then reached for the jar of troll dung. Alright...you can do this. And she opened it, the smell hitting her nostrils and making her scrunch up her face in disgust. Lafay was right, the nose clamp certainly didn't block all of it.

Quickly as she could, she added the dung into her potion and when she was finished, closed the lid tightly.

Meep! That was horrible!

Did this lesson seem a little bit different? The snake had this feeling and she justified it by the interacting of people around her. Now that was very thoughtful of them to busy themselves with each other while she was talking to her own self. That would teach her to choose a seat close to one of her friends. Humph..

Anyway, she was going to focus on this potion which she found interesting. She might really brew it on her own to use it on people who needed to be Nouxious-ed. Very useful. The snake glanced at the Potions mistress and sent her mental gratitude. One never knows when the need of such potion is urgent especially when there's tension between two people. Yup she was still suspicious and her guard was always on waiting for what might happen. If any was going to anyway.

Doing as Professor Lafay did and adding a cup of whale oil, Cassia wondered if this particular oil resembled the oil they used it, but she didn't bother to ask for two reasons. One that she wouldn't know if that was mentioned before as she was too busy regretting not choosing a better seat. And second she wasn't that curious to know about this. Though she was curious to know why the woman just put a nose calm on. That definitely drew her attention.

Fun part? Cassia waited to listen to the fun part but she didn't hear anything fun. She almost raised her hand to ask exactly where the fun part was but then she guessed that what was fun for Lafay wasn't particularly fun for the other human beings.

So doing as she was told so, Cassia put on this nose calm thingy and eyed the jar from afar. How bad was the smell that student were swaying and nearly passing out. Not just this, the potions mistress herself had to put on this thing to conceal her nose from the smell while she should've been used to all smells. Like haven't she been brewing potions for decades now!

Taking a deep breath and closing her mouth and nose, and she would've closed her eyes too but then she wouldn't be able to see and add this smelly deadly stuff. And as fastest as she could manage she added the stuff not taking a whiff of air which reasonably caused her eyes to water and her face to redden. Okay, she couldn't hold her breath that much!

As she was done adding she gasped for air...air that still had the smell of this thing! Covering her mouth and nose with her hands, Cassia frowned at the cauldron because it was the only thing she could see right now, so yeah it had to take the frown.

She needed air and air was polluted right now so she decided on taking very small amount of air while her hands still covered her nose and mouth. She could feel her face red but her looks were not exactly the most important thing when the possibility of throwing up into the cauldron was very huge!

"Yes Professor." She said, giving her a quick nod. Of course she'd follow the recipe. That wasn't the only way to make something blow up you know. Erm...not that she planned to blow anything up not on purpose anyway.

She looked over at Oichi, the girl who didn't think before she acted. Granted Lex hardly thought before she acted but even she didn't do STUFF like this. "Yeah, sure, whatever." She grumbled before making her way back to her cauldron. Now then.

She took the cup of whale oil and let it drizzle into the mixture like she was instructed to and looked on curiously when the professor said the fun part. Would they be getting the potion finished now and get to go knocking people out--

WAIT!

Stuff like that NEVER went well. Everyone, and she meant everyone always chose to target the younger ones first. In that instance survival of the fittest SUCKED! She didn't wanna be anyone's target. Get awaaaaaaaay, all of you!!!

The second year was now eyeing the others. Yup. Everyone looked suspicious to her now.

She snapped back to reality at the sight of the nose clams. She put on one then followed the Professor by adding the contents of the Mountain Troll Dung jar. What? She DID say quick.

Oh, good Merlin, that was kind of disgusting...

Kind of... well, no. It was disgusting indeed. Eep!

Sophie did as she was told and added the cup of whale oil from the side-ish. She couldn't help but stare at the yucky Potion in her cauldron as the oil drizzled in slowly. Yuck!

... Clamps? That was a baaaad sign! Sophie took one and placed it on her nose while making a face. That was such a bad sign!

And theere came the dung! Eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwww!!!! And the entire dungeon... full of troll dung... bleeeeeeurgh!!!! x__________x

Okay, quickly! Like the professor had said! And before all of them puke- O_________O a little Ravenclaw girl had already puked. Oh, Merlin, that was gross. The poor thing... and poor Alice as well. Good thing Sophie was relatively far away from them.

QUICK! Before something worse happened! The girl opened the lid carefully - no one wanted more dung splashing, right? Right. - and tried her best to not drop it out of her cauldron, adding it into her potion as quickly as she could, but not making a big mess... because that would be awful! Yuckyuckyuck!

Oh, oh... Merlin. Mo watched helplessly as one of his favorite people projectiled all over another. That. Was. Disgusting. It was actually upsetting how disgusting it was, because it meant that Mo couldn't rush to assist in cleaning up without worrying that he was going to join in the digestive pyrotechnics. He was literally distraught over not being able to help.

Mo clamped the nose plug thingy on his nose, took a steadying breath, and scooted around his work station to offer a handkerchief to Queen Alice and his sleeve to Creepy Mika. "You should sit down and try some deep breathing. You're looking... pale." That's what his mother said whenever he was sick. He looked pale. He needed toast and tea. "You need toastandtea," Mo whispered to Mika, very seriously, before scurrying back to his own work station. They'd get it later. Some for Alice too.

Whale oil (which was NOT mustard oil). Mo glanced back at Alice and Mika before drizzling the oil into the cauldron. 'Round and 'round and 'round. It almost made him forget about how putrid the next part was going to be. Almost, but when Mo finished the oil, he knew what was coming next. Troll. Dung.

TROLL DUNG. Mo scowled darkly at the jar as he yanked off the lid and slopped the gunk into his cauldron. There was a little splash-back, but none got on Mo or on his work station, so he counted it as a win. Or a draw, 'cause it stunk and NO ONE was winning at the moment.

HOW LONG WOULD HE SMELL LIKE THIS?

Sierra positioned the whale oil above the cauldron and allowed it to slowly drizzle in from the side. She couldn't decide if it looked like the beautiful blend of potions ingredients...or just a bunch of globby mess. In the end, she decided it was the first one, because Sierra actually enjoyed potions, and you really couldn't have a weak stomach while brewing.

Speaking of weak stomachs, she clamped her nose, trying hard not to think about the troll dung, and added in the ingredient. She grinned in amusement at how weak some of these people ended up being.

Wimps. Puffers. Either or.



Sierra's facial expression dropped to one of complete disbelief. Gryffie girl say WHAAA?! She fixed a glare toward the girl and tried her best to relay the message 'I'm watching you'.

Mess with Mama Greingoth...

...Baby Greingoth comes hissing.

"Come up at the front. I'm going to have you finish my potion. And if you mess it up, so help me Skylar, Head Girl or not, I will put you in the Torture Chamber detention room, and forget you there!" She said, making space for her at her cauldron.

"Someone clean that up!" she yelled at no one in particular. "And if any got in anyone's potion... start over."

"Try an evanesco charm." She said. She wasn't the kid's mother. She had to have learned some charms by now...

"Anyway..." She took her lemon and handed it to Skylar with her mortar. "Juice it." She told her. "You will juice your lemon," she said to the rest of the class, "Into your mortar, then toss a handful of poppy seeds into it and use your pestle to crush it all together." She turned back to the head girl and said "Get on with it!"

SPOILER!!: Kaiden

Kaiden had listened intently as his classmates listed off possible potions ingredients, but he hadn’t had a clue about what could be in the potion. What could be in a potion that could be as gross as the one they were going to make? The grossest thing he could think of was mayonnaise. BLECK. When the list of ingredients appeared on the board, he scribbled them down, and then followed the rest of the class to collect the required ingredients. He had half a mind to grab them all in one trip, but when he almost dropped the jar of troll dung, he sat it back down, made a couple of trips.

Sitting back at the work station, he scooted this ingredients away from the edge of the table and waited for the next bit of instructions from the Potions Mistress. And they came soon enough. Following her example, he pointed his wand at the cauldron, and said “Scourgify.” Making sure it was all clean, he poured enough milk into it to fill in half way. And now, for placing it over the burner, he cast “Incindeo” and watched the flame burn low.



The reluctant Hufflepuff wasn’t paying much attention to the things going on in the class. No, he was entertained by the fire, wishing he was camping out. He did snap out of his thoughts when Lafay started giving more instructions. Right, Doxy eggs, what ever they were. Casting scourgify on his stirring implement, he picked up one of the small eggs, and cracked it, letting all the egg innards fall into the cauldron. Picking up his stirring spoon, he stirred once counter clockwise. It then went Crack. Stir. Crack. Stir. Crack. Stir. Crack. Stir.

After that bit was done, he then donned his gloves, and picked up some of the sulfur. The smell kind of burned his nose. He balled his hand into a fist to crush the little yellowish gems, and then let it fall into the cauldron, and then did it again. To once the full amount was in the cauldron, he then watched as Miks finished her part as he slid off his gloves. She was awfully good at all this.



Kaiden listened carefully to this next bit on instructions. Right, that sounded difficult. Carefully, he measured out the two ounces of bile, and picked up his stirry spoon. Setting it into the liquidy stuff, he began stirring it very fast in a clockwise motion until it spun by itself. Quickly, he poured in the bile, and watched as the spinning slowed and then stopped. So, now time for the flobber worm stuff yeah? Taking a freshly cleaned wooden spoon, he spooned in all four cups of the stuff. And yeah, that mucusy stuff was cool!

Text Cut: oil, dung, and the sick

As he waited for more instructions, the boy found himself watching the potion doing its stuff in his cauldron, and too the occasional peek up at Miks. He would never admit it, but he was startled when Lafay started talking to the class once more. Oops. Cup of Whale oil. He picked up the little container it was in, and watched how the potions mistress poured hers in. Carefully he imitated the professor’s actions, letting it all drizzle in, though he may have done it a little faster than she had.

Kaid grinned widely when he looked back up and saw the clamp on the woman’s nose. It couldn’t really be THAT bad could it? He did take one though, when the basket reached him, and he placed it on his nose. Err, it was uncomfortable. Before opening the jar, he just kind of looked at the stuff. “I wonder who has to collect this stuff?” he asked out loud with a stuffy sound. That had to be the worst job ever. Opening the jar, he quickly realized it was bad, really bad. He stopped breathing, as he tried pouring the stuff quickly. As it was plopping into the cauldron, he heard someone retching beside him.

“Miks!” he said turning to her, concerned for his friend, and glad she hadn’t gotten sick all over him, but that other girl. The one he didn't like. Reaching out, he place his hand on her back and rubbed like his mother did when he was sick. “You okay?”
[/QUOTE]

To say that she wasn't expecting her friend to pat her on the back was an understatement. The pale-faced girl just gave her friend a shaky smile and tried to fake some bravado. She already had allot of ground work to cover with her attempts to not be labeled as the girl who couldn't handle the scent of troll dung. Well mountain trolls were severely more rancid smelling than regular trolls.

Or so that was her opinion.

"I'll be fine" she quietly muttered not loud enough to really effectively be heard over the sounds of potions brewing. "Thanks Kaiden" she gave him another half-lit smile, still looking slightly green in demeanor.

SPOILER!!: Macabre

Was he serious? Did Mo just offer her his sleeve? She'd have to decline because really sleeves weren't used for wiping sickness off of another person's face. Though it was a sweet, sweet gesture she'd rather use her own sleeve.

She just chuckled and lifted up her own sleeve. "I've got a sleeve but thanks...maybe tonight we should practice spells and charms to remove awful stench out of clothing." She offered with a wicked glint to her eyes.

SPOILER!!: Lafay

When Lafay next spoke she felt her skin pale again. And not, this time for being sick. Embarrassment was more like it. She'd feel wretched if she had caused someone to have to restart a potion. "So sorry everyone" she muttered as she pointed her wand to the remaining sickness situated near Nerida. "Evansco" and readjusting she pointed her wand towards Alic "Evansco" and a third time at the sleeve she'd just wiped her own sickness onto "Evansco".

There.

Everything was righted.

For now.

She was still going to give Alice a gift of monstrous candy proportions.

The next thing she did was take the lemon and proceeded to juice the lemon. A small dollop of the liquid spraying back and landing on the tip of her nose. Man did that smell so much better than that Troll dung.

And once the mortar was filled with the juice of her lemon she took the handful of poppy seeds and dropped them into the mortar as well. Pestle in hand she proceeded to crush them until all she could think of was how much nicer this room was starting to smell for now - that is.
