Kendall had thought about adding her mixture into her cauldron. She had known it was going into it eventually either way, but that also was going to mean that she had to move close to the stinky potion again. Therefore, she had chosen to wait until the step had been given, and in the meantime she had begun to feel sorry for Selina. The Head Girl had to stand up there in front of everyone and finish Professor Lafay’s potion for her, and she was being yelled at practically the whole time. She felt sorry for her, but also was glad it wasn’t her. Instead, she was able to grab five balloons from the basket as it went past her, then calmly Scourgify the baster from her kit before she picked her mortar up. The professor had technically told them to add the lemony mixture first, but she wasn’t about to risk anything going wrong because she wasn’t fast enough. She wasn’t about to risk passing out in the middle of the classroom, and she definitely didn’t want to know if her hair was going to end up some new color if she did. She was nervous enough, although so far she’d controlled that part of herself. The control probably would disappear if she was unconscious though.

Therefore, she chose to get the balloons first, then add the lemon-poppy stuff before quickly setting the mortar down again to retrieve her wand from its holster. Di-lap-sus, she repeated a few times in her head, just to make sure she didn’t mess up the pronunciation, then she quickly jabbed her wand at the potion. “Dilapsus,” she cast, before setting her wand down and picking a balloon and the baster up. She could put it back into the holster later, since she was supposed to be fast. Sticking the baster inside the cauldron, she sucked up some of the liquid, and then carefully set the tip inside the opening of the balloon. There was no way she was going to get anything on her hands. Filling the first balloon quickly and tying it tightly shut, she proceeded to repeat the technique on the other four balloons that she’d selected before setting the last one down gently on her workstation. They hadn’t exactly been told how full they were supposed to be, but she figured hers were fine. Picking her wand up again after setting the baster down next to the evil potion balloons, she speedily cast Evanesco on the remainder of the potion inside her cauldron, watching intently to make sure that there wasn’t any gas starting to escape. There was going to be no passing out now, and after she Scourgified literally every piece of her equipment that had been used to brew the potion, she sat back to add the final steps to her journal. All that was left was hoping they weren’t going to be expected to actually use their evil potion balloons on each other, but something told her they weren’t going to be that lucky. At least they weren’t being forced to drink it.

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
2. Fill cauldron halfway with cow’s milk
3. Light burner under cauldron, keeping it set to a low flame
4. Crack each doxy egg and add to cauldron, stirring once counter-clockwise after each egg
5. Put gloves on, then take each gem of sulfur and crumble it with your hands before adding to the cauldron
6. Measure out the 2 ounces of armadillo bile while vigorously stirring the potion clockwise until it is in a full spin
7. Add the armadillo bile
8. Wait for the spinning to stop on its own
9. Spoon the 4 cups of flobberworm mucus into the potion with a wooden spoon
10. Add the cup of whale oil from the side, drizzling it in slowly
11. Using a nose clamp to avoid most of the smell, add the troll dung as quickly as possible (note: try not to throw up into the potion)
12. Juice a lemon into mortar, adding a handful of poppy seeds once the juice is collected and crush everything together
13. Add the lemon-poppy mixture into potion
14. Cast “Dilapsus” on the potion, using a brisk jabbing motion
15. Quickly, using baster, fill balloons (5) with the potion, making sure to tie them tightly
16. Vanish the remainder of the potion, preferably before it starts giving off gas (Evanesco)

What was on? Seriously.. one moment, Lafay was mad and yelling at Selina, and then some girl besides her was puking, filling room with stench.. Eww! Looking at the front, Ira bit her bottom lip, and made kinda sorry face, as she looked at her captain.. no, Head Girl now, shaking a bit. Couldn't blame her though, anyone would be terrified in Professor Lafay's class.

Returning her attention back to her potion, she hadn't noticed some particles of that girl's vomit falling in her potion. So, unaware of that fact, she started the next step of instructions. And her potion was changing color. Eeeppp! Was the potion supposed to change colors just yet??

o___O

Or maybe the color was supposed to change. But Lafay hadn't said it, had she? She juiced her lemon in her mortar, which made a loud sizzling kind of a noise, and then tossed poppy seed, and crushed them, still unaware that her potion was going wrong, courtesy of a few drops of vomit.

Then, she followed the next instructions.. but some vapors were emanating from her potion. Was it supposed to be this way? As far as she could see, none of the other potions around her was giving off such vapors. What was wrong? o_O Now what? Maybe she could just redo her potion? But she still didn't understand what went wrong? Hoping that Professor Lafay wouldn't notice, she just made her potion disappear "Evanesco!" she cast .. and the potion vanished. Just great! Now she would have to redo her whole potion again!

And hopefully Lafay hadn't seen her just yet... This noxious potion was like, becoming an obnoxious potion for her!

Anyway...?

Anyway, who threw up? Merlin. Her breakfast wanted to go up at the stinky smell too. It was a good thing she didn't eat too much. Actually her appetite this past few weeks altered drastically. It was weird. Had she mentioned her sympathy for the Head Girl, by the way? Gah. She can only imagine how it feels like brewing a potion and having Professor Lafay's piercing gaze right at your back. Must be close to torture, eh? Too much for her own thoughts. She watched as the demonstration carried on.

Okay, she had to juice the lemon.

Cutting it in half, the Ravenclaw got to squeezing out the juice from the fruit into the mortar. Squeeeeeeze! And then the other portion in which she purposely brought the lemon half near her nose to smell it instead of inhaling the horrid odor that was wafting throughout the dungeon. Juice into the mortar...followed by the poppy seeds. Beezus reached out for her pestle and began grinding the seeds with the juice mixed with it. Just like crushing herbs..yep.


Merlin, they were moving fast. She barely finished crushing the lemon poppy seed mixture when Professor Lafay spoke again. This time they needed wand assistance, she said.

Wait, WHAT?

The next step needs to be fast. By fast, did she mean fast fast fast with carelessness or faaaaaaaast faaaaast faaaaaast being careful? Because Beezus wasn't too sure if she was capable of doing the succeeding steps fast and carefully.

UGH. She said, what? They were to fill five balloons? Why five? Can't it be just one? But as it was per Professor Lafay's instructions, it had to be followed and so when the basket that was distributing small balloons got to her work area, she promptly took five. Baster out too.

It was time to get started. Lemon and seeds mixture into the cauldron you go. She took a deep breath before pulling out her wand from its holster, biting her bottom lip as she pointed it towards the cauldron. Okay...one, two, three. "Dilapsus!" Balloon, come here! With the basters aid, she quickly filled the first balloon, a few spillage here and there but she just couldn't be bothered by it. Second one. Gah, why were they transferring this to balloons? Were they going to have a balloon fight? Shot each other to find out if their brewing was correct? Third. ...Ouch! She had squirted the potion out of the baster and into the balloon but on the process, her elbow hit the cauldron. It stung. Dang it. She didn't have the chance to inspect the wound though. Painstakingly attempting to get through with this was SO DIFFICULT. Fourth balloon! Ugh. Hands...STOP...SHAKING.. And finally, finally...the last one! Beezus swallowed hard, filled the baster...into the balloon...tying it.

O.o She was done! Right, right?! She didn't break anything, did not spill too much, managed to.... Blink. Blink.

...What in Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem was that...? Gas? Smoke? Huh? ..OHCRAP. She forgot to clean up! "Evane---!" Too late. Gas was issuing from her cauldron. *coughcoughcough* Sorry, Professor Lafay!

Oichi heard the instructions and happily got right back to work. She added her lemon juice and poppy seeds to her mortar and the crushed them into a fine powder. She then added them to her cauldron. It started to bubble like crazy. Oichi quickly took out her wand gave it a quick flick, "Dilapsus", The potion soon calmed and Oichi was very happy about that. A stink bomb to the face that vile would not have been good. She then started the last step, clean up. With her wand out she scourgified all her equipment, except the inside of her cauldron, she was sure she would need the contents there for credit and hopefully just that. But knowing professor Lafay, anything could happen.

Balloons? West wondered idly if that meant they were going to get to throw them. There was something about balloons when filled with a liquid that just BEGGED to be thrown. Maybe that was gonna be their homework? Toss noxious potion balloons at people and observe the effects. Awesome.

He took the balloons, five of them and repeated the first spell over and over. Dilapsus. Dilapsus. With a jab. It was a dissolving spell? Was that the bit he was supposed to focus on? He actually kinda wanted to check otherwise he wouldn't know what his intent should be, so he stuck his hand up.

"What does Dilapsus do, professor?"

Once she was satisfied with her crushed poppy seeds in juice lemon, Kat added it into the cauldron. Urgh, her stomach was getting mad and demanded the girl to make a quick retreat to the bathroom. The Slytherin inhaled and exhaled deeply, trying to control the nauseating feeling she was experiencing. But she didn't dwell on all the bad odour, though. She must finish the potion, so she proceeded with the next set of directions Lafay gave out.

Huh. This part didn't seem to make much sense. What were they going to do with the balloons Lafay handed out? Of course, Kat wasn't one to question her Head of House's knowledge and skills, but curiosity was filling her. She, however, wasn't in any mood to ask questions. Especially since she wanted to vomit already, but held it in due to hygiene reasons. Kat took her wand out of her pocket for this step. "Dilapsus!" she said and made a quick jab in the cauldron and hurriedly took her baster after placing her wand on an empty place in her workstation and started filling each balloon with the horrible smelling potion.

One balloon. Ew. Two balloons. EW. Three balloons. EWW. Four balloons. Oh Merlin's beard, this was gross! And.... five balloons. All FIVE balloons were finally filled. After filling all the balloons, she snatched her wand immediately. "Evanesco!" she said and her cauldron was empty again, just like it was during the beginning of the class. Least no awful smell was being emitted anymore cos then she'd just barf in her cauldron.



Just before she could call it all safe, Kat sniffed. Something smelt HORRIBLE. She looked around and saw BEE's cauldron giving off gas. The Claw forgot to get rid of the rest of her potion!

O____________O

Before she could throw up, Kat placed her nose clamp on again. She'd rather wear THIS than to barf in front of them all. Disgusting.

Once he had finished crushing the lemon juice with poppy seeds, Gary quickly added them to the cauldron. Then he grabbed his wand from his pocket. "Dilapsus!" He said as he made a quick jab in the cauldron. Then...

Fill the potions to ballons?

Okay, the Head Boy took the balloons. By using the baster, he filled them quickly until there were already five balloons which were already tied. Finished with the balloons, quickly he casted the vanishing charm to his cauldron. "Evanesco!" Fiuh, glad that his work was quick enough before it formed gas. Oh my.. Hope that was the first and the last time of him to brew those disgusting potion.

Wade took contents of his mortar and dumped everything he could see into the potion. He took his wand to do a short jab motion at it, "Dilapsus!" Okay done, he quickly grabbed the baster off the table that was mere inches from the vomit chunks.

Waiting for the basket to reach him, Wade examined the baster juuust the make sure it didn't have any on it. "Scougify." There clean, and just before the basket of balloons finally arrived, grabbing five as soon as it reached him before passing it along just as fast.

Now this part had to be fast, he noted. Fill up one baster, squirt it into a balloon, tie it shut. Doing this one time.. two times.. three times.. four times.. five... Done. Now Wade could clean up, "Evanesco." No more smelly potion in the cauldron now.

At first, Daichi thought it was funny how the Head Girl messed up her potion but now that she was being humiliated by Lafay at the front of the class he felt bad for her. He was startled when he felt a sudden tap against his arm and turned to look at Eliza signing to him that he needed to breathe.

Right, he had held his breath earlier.... Feeling that he was on the edge of passing out, Daichi took in a deeeeeeeep breath of smelly air with his mouth. He had learned from his father one day that when you smelled something aweful it was the best to keep breathing so the nose could get used to it. Well apparently those people had NEVER smelled a Mountain Trolls dung!

Adding the lemon poppy seeds in to the cauldron, Daichi readied his wand had just said the first letter of the incantation when the professor suddenly stopped them. Closing his mouth he watched as another basket this time with balloons went through the classroom. He grabbed five of them and placed them on the desk beside the cauldron.

"Dilapsus" he said and jabbed his wand at the cauldron. Then he quickly grabbed the baster and filled it with the potion. He filled one balloon and tied it, did the same with the second one..third ..he almost spilled at the fourth balloon and the fifth at last.

Having five balloons ready, Daichi pointed his wand at his working space and used the "Evanesco" spell to clean up after him. He pocketed his wand when gas seemed to fly up at his side from another persons cauldron and he that Beezus had forgotten to clean up.

....The Head Girl AND a Prefect were both doing horribly in class...right...

Turning back to her cauldron, less queasy than before, Peyton scribbled down Professor Lafay's instructions and got working. She took the lemon and began juicing it on the mortar, then added a handful of poppy seeds and crushed them together with the pestle.

At least the lemon and seeds weren't as gross as the rest of the stuff. Still, Peyton wrinkled her nose thinking of their poor fate. They'd be mixed in with all the yuck.

Sighing, Peyton added the mixture of lemon and poppy seeds into her cauldron. She really couldn't wait for this class to be over. She was hungry, but she wasn't sure if her stomach would up to eating after ALL of this. That was sad. She loves eating. Especially ice cream.

Peyton blinked in Lafay's direction. Potion's lady say what? O__o

The third year wrote what she was able to catch down on her parchment. Still blinking quite rapidly, she re-read everything she wrote down. The 'quickly' part made her feel rushed. Peyton didn't like to rush into things.

Taking five balloons from the basket, she set them down next to her cauldron so they'd be easy to reach. Picking up her wand - which was next to her parchment - Peyton practiced the brisk jabbing motion first. Then muttered the incantation to get a feel of it. When she felt ready enough, she repeated the wand movement and said, "Dilapsus!"over the cauldron.

Wasting no time - 'cause she thought if she did she would die - Peyton picked up the baster and filled the first balloon, tied it quickly and repeated the process four more times. She eyed the balloons on her table. They better not all of the sudden burst and stuff.

Quickly, she cast Evanesco on her cauldron. There. Done. Hopefully. Peyton wiped her forehead with her forearm, heaving a sigh. She didn't blow up. Awesome.

She made another basket go around the room containing small balloons.

"Use the baster in your potions kit to fill your balloons, and tie them shut. Fill Five. Then quickly cast Evanesco on your cauldrons cleaning up the rest, before it begins to give off gas."

She turned to the Head Girl and said "Go On... And be quick about it."

She gave the girl at the front of the class a sympathetic look. She wasn't sure if she saw her do it or not, but Eliza really did feel badly for her having to perform a subject she obviously was struggling in. I don't really see what public humiliation does as far as learning a subject goes...but I guess some teachers will never outgrow it. She just hoped the girl wouldn't be too scarred by it. It's not like anyone here hasn't been lost or confused before, she thought kindly.

Eliza had been about to pour in her lemon mixture when WAIT happened. Hand mid-air, she froze stiff and slowly turned her eyes to Lafay to see why they had stopped, then heard the rest of the instructions. Well THAT would have been a disaster! A full classroom of stinky potions gone bad in the last step? She grimaced to think of it.

She set her mortar back down so that she could grab some balloons from the passing basket. She took six balloons just in case one had a hole or something, you know - from being kept in a basket of all things. She jotted down the next steps as quickly as she could. The professor was talking awfully fast, so it was a bit of a struggle. Come to think of it...What is Delapsus? What does it do? She wanted to know too, like that West Odessa kid had mentioned. He always has a lot of good questions, she noted. She would like to say hello to him sometime. He seemed smart and she liked that in people. And another spell I don't know. How do I cast Evanesco? I've never done it before... she worried.

Before she got any further, she turned to Daichi to ask him. She knew he suggested she asked Lafay her questions, but she didn't want her to think she was uneducated for not knowing the spell. Because she wasn't uneducated per say...it just hadn't come up yet. "Erm, excuse me but...Daichi?" she asked quietly once she saw he was done with filling his balloons and cleaning his own cauldron. She wouldn't want to distract him from his work. That would just mean a very stinky, sickening work space for the both of them. Not to mention she wouldn't want to get him into trouble, or disrupt his studies - because learning was very important. "Could you tell me how to cast the Evanesco spell? I've never done it." She hoped she wasn't being a bother. It was just that she didn't want to cast it wrong and ruin her cauldron or something.

Mo felt that poor Selina was in desperate need of a hug, and he would most certainly be willing to offer said hug. Y'know... if she was willing. He made puppy dog faces at her from behind his cauldron before turning his attention back to the noxious Noxious Potion currently bubbling away in his cauldron. Gross.

The lemon poppy seed stuff was tipped into the cauldron, although he was loathe to lose the only nice smelling stuff on his entire work station. Ugh. Why would anyone ever have to resort to using something so... awful? And he had a feeling it was about to get much much worse.

"Dilapsus," Mo jabbed his wand at the potion and immediately tucked the thing deep inside his robes. He didn't want it to get any splashes or muck on it. Now to work quickly... using the baster on his work station, Mo suctioned up the potion and inserted it into one balloon after another. It made him cringe to then tie up the end of each balloon, as it meant his fingers had to touch that same slimy balloon surface. Was it possible to ever feel clean again?

Relief washed over him when the fifth balloon was tied, and Mo was able to fish his wand back out of his robe. Where... did it go? Why had he tucked it so far away? His potion was looking sort of... virulent by the time Mo yanked his wand from his robes and shouted, "EVANESCO. The disgusting concoction vanished from sight.[/color]

Sierra had already added in the poppy seed, so she picked up her wand and aimed it toward her cauldron. "Dilapsus!" she said, with a brisk jabbing motion. She took the balloons she'd collected then used a baster to fill them. She tried to move as quickly as she could, not wanting to move too slow and mess something up. In her mother's class, at that. She'd never hear the end of it...

After she'd filled and tied five balloons, she pointed her wand toward her cauldron once again. "Evanesco!" she said. She looked around the room, making sure no one had missed that last step. There was no gas around here, right?

"It's magic." She said to the boy. She rolled her eyes and added, "it activates the noxious properties in the potion..."

Hecate was looking over all the student's cauldrons. Everyone seemed to be working at the correct pace. It was about time to wrap this class up when she saw the green gas coming from a Ravenclaw's cauldron.

Pulling out her hand and casting a vacuum spell to suck the gas in one direction she said "Get out. All of you! I'll post homework on the boards tomorrow. I need all of you to file out orderly and quickly right now."

....?

Well obviously it was magic. It was a spell. Was her brain weird again? West was concerned a bit at the eye rolling and he watched the professor carefully for a moment as if some goo would start leaking from her eyes again.

No goo.

Right. Back to work.


He added the lemon poppy seed to the mixture, letting it all drip in, and then held his wand at the ready. Okay. Activating stuff. Got it. He jabbed his wand briskly. "Dilapsus!" Aiming his wand in the cauldron. And then FAST with those balloons and the baster that he had at the ready, West started filling them.

And it was easy. He was a boy who had, when younger, and sometimes even still now, been quite the expert at filling water balloons with jello and pudding and such. This was no different and he still had his nose clamp to protect against the stink.

Once he had all five done and tied safely, he picked his wand up again, pleased he actually knew this spell. "Evanesco!" The remainder of the potion was gone. Thankfully. But he wasn't so sure about removing nose clamps incase someone else messed up. But they were getting kicked out!

.... what did they do with the balloons????

err. He left them in a neat pile and packed up his things. Odessa was outies.

Alyssa's first impulse was to clean her workstation before leaving. But not wanting to disobey Professor Lafay's instructions, she reluctantly but quickly picked up her backpack in one hand and her journal in the other and walked out of the class in an orderly fashion following the other students out of the classroom.

She hoped that she would be allowed in later to help clean up her workstation and retrieve her cauldron, utensils and her potion kit.

...there was gas!

Sierra flailed about for a bit then looked at her mother with wide eyes. "...but you can't just stay in here," she said to her. She could see what was being done with the gas, but...was it effective? It wouldn't reactive her mother's illness, would it?

Sierra could feel a panic attack coming on, but she tried to breathe in and out to keep her cool. "I'll...just help everybody out..." Sierra hesitated then turned to a few of the younger students. "Let's go! Out!" she said, using her wand to move a few chairs and the like out of the way to clear the area.

"Mo--...Professor Lafay," she said. "The other potions...do you want me to evanesco them?" Would the ones that hadn't been tended to start gassing, as well?

Okay, add the seeds and stuff. Penelope did that. But now...wands. And a spell. Merlin. Okay. Hopefully this would go over okay and the spell would work so she didn't look like an idiot having to cast it over and over or ask for help.

She drew out her wand, pointed it at the stuff in the cauldron, made the quick jab motion, and said, "Dilapsus!"

...Well it seemed like it worked? How was she supposed to tell?

Oh well.

She grabbed five balloons and the baster thing
and filled up all five of them and tied them tightly. And now another spell. She had practiced this one a couple times with occasional success...hopefully this would be one of those occasions. She pointed her wand at the cauldron again and, imagining everything in it disappearing in her mind, said, "Evanesco!"

And...it worked. Success! Yes!

...and just in time. Because someone else's hadn't worked, apparently, and they were being ordered out. Yeah, Penelope wasn't going to disobey that and stick around. She gathered her things quickly, though not neatly, and carried it in her arms as she followed the others out.

After Nerida cast a Evanesco charm to clean up Mika's puke off of her..Disgusting... She took the mountain troll dung since she hadn't been able to do that due to Mika's yuck fest!! After adding that to the potion, she took the lemon and juiced it into the mortar like she was instructed to do, before grabbing a handful of poppy seeds and crushing the juice and the seeds together in the mortar.

She stared curiously at the balloons..Why did the need balloons... Oh, that is why. Okay...Seemed easy enough. Nothing the fifth year couldn't handle. Nerida gave a brisk jabbing motion with her wand. "Dilapsus!"

Now came to the fast part!

She grabbed each balloon and began stuffing as much as she could. Was she going fast enough?? What would happen if she wasn't fast enough????

Finally! She finished the fifth balloon!

After that one was tied she quickly turned her attention to the cauldron again. "Evanescoe!" It was cast she gave a sigh of relief. Success, well for her... Just as she finished they were being ordered out. She reluctantly collected her things..Not as neat as she normally would have though. Nerida walked out of the class in an orderly fashion following the other students out of the classroom.

Alyssa turned around as she was leaving and saw Sierra staying behind. 'What is she doing?' Alyssa knew that Sierra was a Prefect and that Professor Lafay was her mother and therefore would be reluctant for any harm to come to her.

Covering her mouth and nose with one hand, Alyssa called out to her from outside the classroom,"Sierra do you need any help?"

Peyton cleaned her area and gathered her parchment and quill and stuffed them into her bag. Merlin was she glad the lesson was over. She didn't even mind the way they were being kicked out. She was glad to go.

The Slytherin had just shrugged her bag strap on her shoulder when her Prefect began freaking out. "What's going on?" she asked Sierra. Were they going to blow up or something?! Turn into zombies? WERE THEY GOING TO GET SET ON FIRE?!

Then she heard the Prefect say something about helping. Just run for your life, that's what Peyton wanted to say, but...thiswasherHeadofHouse...no matter how mean she was. "Shouldn't everyone have cleaned their cauldron?" she asked. Those were the directions, right? Right.

"Mo--...Professor Lafay," she said. "The other potions...do you want me to evanesco them?" Would the ones that hadn't been tended to start gassing, as well?

Everything seemed okay, until the gas came out from someone's cauldron. Merlin, this is not good! Professor Lafay had dismissed the students, except for Sierra and a Hufflepuff girl who volunteered to help. As a Head Boy, he helped Sierra to ask everybody out. "Everyone! Just leave this classroom and go back to your common room. NOW!" he shouted.

Then he took his handkerchief and used it to cover his nose. Glad that he always brought them everywhere. Even he already asked everybody to go out, he decided to stay and help Lafay here, if she need some assistance. He noticed that Sierra and a Hufflepuff girl came to help. "Need any help, Sierra?" asked him.

She looked up when Professor Lafay had told people to file out of the room. But - oh goodness. That was a horrendous stench. She felt her stomach twist and turn in uncomfortable knots as she quickly shot up from the table, grabbed her bad and slung it over her shoulder. She looked over to Mo and then Alice and panic visible behind her fearful eyes.

"Hey um you guys want to go somewhere and practice spells to clean stench off of eachother...and disinfect things?" She offered sheepishly.

"If you do meet me in the library tonight after dinner." She nodded, she was going to expertly shower first. Loofa's weren't enough. Maybe a bottle of woolite and a pumice could do it. But she wasn't even sure of that. In her mind not even a tomato soup bath would do the trick.

She quickly turned to file out of the room.

Kendall hadn’t bothered to take the clamp off of her nose, she’d been so focused on finishing up with the potion quickly and making sure that nothing happened to risk ending up unconscious in probably the last place she would ever want to be rendered unconscious in. Not just Hogwarts, specifically the potions classroom just because she still had that tiny fear of Professor Lafay doing something while she was passed out. It wasn’t as bad as her fairly newfound fear of spiders and acromantulas, thankfully, but it was still there. As she’d finished writing the last few steps into her journal, she had realized the clamp was still on her nose, however, and she’d reached up to attempt to release it so the ache in her nose would stop at the same time she’d heard Beezus coughing and looked over to see gas starting to issue from her friend’s cauldron. Okay. Not good, she thought, eyes widening and lowering her hand again. There was no way she was going to take the clamp off now. At least her own balloons seemed to be holding, and she’d cleaned up her things.

Her wide-eyed expression shifted toward Professor Lafay as the woman had reacted to Beezus’ coughing. They needed to file out orderly? She was tempted to just outright run, even though a lot of the gas seemed to be being sucked off away from them. She’d already gotten all her kit cleaned and put back together after all, so it was just her journal and the balloons. She tossed her kit into her bag, followed by her journal, and then slung it all over her shoulder. The balloons could stay here. She’d seen West leave his as well, after all, so it wasn’t going to just be her that left them behind. She hadn’t wanted to keep any of them anyway, but before she got too far toward the door, her attention went back to Beezus. She didn’t want to leave her friend behind, and she did still have her nose all clamped up… turning back, she quickly ran over to the brunette. “Did you need any help getting out, Beezus?,” she asked in a rush, not wanting to breathe too much. She was going to drag the prefect out of the room if she had to. Either way, they both were going to get out of the classroom.

More coughing. Her eyes stung too. Professor Lafay, help! Okay, okay. She was at fault here. She'd been careless, she forgot to clean up and so she was to blame if this mess gets messier, just get her out of this horrid gas thingy that was enveloping her senses, please?

Flinging her arms around to fan the gas out of her way, she managed to grab bits of the Potions Mistress casting a spell that slowly sucked in the gas away from her. Blergh. Thank you so much. She pulled out her handkerchief and wiped her face with force. Ugh..itchy, stingy, her face felt mangy. O.o Was she going to develop side effects of the potion? Oh, drat. Or maybe...grow boils?! O_O What if her face turn into a different color too? Holy snitch! Their game against Gryffindor was coming soon and she most certainly didn't want to sign up as mascot.

Noticing Kendall come up beside her, she managed a shake of head and through her handkerchief, she replied, "Um, no. I'm fine Kendz, thanks for asking." She patted her fellow eagle's arm before turning her head to and fro. "Ravenclaws! Kindly fall in line." She eyed and gestured the line of her peers that was paving their way towards the dungeon exit, risking removing her handkerchief so her housemates can hear her better.
