The class is back to its usual design: There are proper chairs with soft cushions to sit and lean back on, they are also still charmed to take the most comfortable shape and height once a student is seated. The walls are a soft, calming blue. There are one big, grey rubbish bin by the door and a white, porcelain washbasin with a tap for those who wants to wash their hands before/after the class and who can't perform 'Aguamenti' charm (a short hose to direct the water to the cauldron is on the white, porcelain shelf hung on the wall, in case it doesn't fit the washbasin). In addition, there is a large tray of something on teacher's desk, but a white blanket is covering it so that it's a surprise. Professor Cosgrach is nowhere to be found.
Come in and take a seat!
OOC: If you are going to RP your characer use the washbasin or the bin, you don't have to take Cosgrach's permission. Just assume he has granted it.
The class has begun, so please do not announce your late arrival, but act as if you've been here all along!

Her little sugar pie honey bunch was under the weather, and the puke that was all down her front should have snapped her out of her little trance, but all she wanted to do was stare at Ian and think about all of the wonderful things that Tinker did. Ahhh, he was so amazing.
Oh, so he was actually agreeing to her little idea about them brewing their potions together? See, he DID love her, he was just playing hard to get. "Hurry back to me, creme puff." Now that AJ knew that he was giving in to her, she would let him have a little bit of space. Besides she really did need to get started on the antidote for Angel.
While her love was gathering his ingredients AJ flipped through Ian's textbook. Love potions, love potions, love potions. AHA! She found something. Sorry dear sister, your love for Benny was about to be bumped down a notch. Well... this was Angel they were talking about so most likely it would be about the same.
Man, she needed A LOT of ingredients. AJ scribbled down her notes and made little hearts off to the side with Ian's name in the middle. Ah, making potions with the love of her life, classes just didn't get much more fun than that.
SPOILER!!: AJ's notes
Add four Wiggentree twigs, or until the potion turns green.
Gaze into Ian's eyes
Stir until the potion turns orange.
Think about how Ian is the hottest redhead EVER!
Add castor oil until the potion turns blue.
Breathe Ian in
Stir until the potion turns purple.
Tell Ian how perfect he is
Add extract of Gurdyroot until the potion turns red.
AJ Valentine & Ian Tinker
Add Wiggentree twigs.
Aubrey Janel Tinker
Add Extract of Gurdyroot until the potion turns purple.
Think about where we want to get married
Leave the potion to simmer till it turns red.
Find a place to live with Ian
Add more gurdyroot extract till it turns green.
Ian, Ian, Ian <3<3<3
Stir till it turns orange.
Gaze into Ian's eyes
Add seven Wiggentree twigs.
Blow Ian a kiss
Allow to simmer till it turns pink.
Stand back and appreciate the man that is Ian Tinker.
SPOILER!!: OMG THE LOVE OF OUR LIFE ZHENYA! hehe hi
Zeke's jaw DROPPED. Literally DROPPED. "She's gorgeous," Zeke awed, gawking across the room at the Slytherin girl he'd never noticed before. How could he not have noticed HER. "Wh-what's her name? It must be... Beautiful, or or... Mrs Rogers." Could he make that a thing? Could he hold her hand? Sniff her hair? Hug her? KISS HER?!
What was heart breaking though, was that his LOVE was SICK. "I should help her," he said, puffing out his chest as he finaaaalllyyy managed to tear his eyes away from the prettiest girl EVER, only to see Kace not looking too good. What was his problem?
Oh... wait... POISON!
"How do you feel?" he asked. Though, his eyes weren't focused on his partner anymore, they were across the room, taking in the sight of the GODDESS SLYTHERIN GIRL.
Kace saw Zeke take the potion and was observing him closely. Now what potion did he take. I mean he took it at random. As he was looking at his partner he saw Zeke eye a girl. He followed and saw him eyeing the slytherin. Kace nodded and understanding a little bit more of what he took. He understood, it was the love potion.
Buttt now he was starting to feel really nauseous. He held his stomach to keep himself from throwing up. He put his hand up to hold on a minute. He then took gulps of air to not have vomit on the floor. "I feel like I am gonna throw up.." he told Zeke. Then he had a huge headache to go with it. He closed his eyes from the light because it hurt his eyes. He squinted and tried to get used to the light. Then he saw his hands shaking. This was not good.

All good?
3 Ounces. Zhenya nodded, "Thanks Professor," she said, adding it to the top of the ingredients. She frowned at her textbook, and then looked up at the Professor, "Oh, it doesn't! I'll just have to go extra slow," she said, her own tone of voice diminishing, and she yawned.

With a sniffle, she wiped her eyes on her robe. Then her partner was giving her a hug. "Thank you Zhenya", Jasmine said returning her squeeze. "I'm going to get this potion going right away so you will feel better." What a considerate partner she had. It was nice to know that someone cared about your well being.
SPOILER!!: Antidote to Common Poisons
Antidote to Common Poisons Ingredients
Bezoar
Mistletoe Berries
Unicorn Horn
Standard Ingredient
Brewing Instructions
Part 1
Add 1 Bezoar to the mortar
Crush into a very fine powder using the pestle
Add 4 measures of the crushed Bezoar to your cauldron
Add 2 measures of Standard Ingredient to your cauldron
Heat to a medium temperature for 5 seconds
Wave your wand
Leave to brew and return in 40 minutes with Pewter Cauldron, 34 minutes with Brass cauldron and 30 minutes with copper cauldron.
Part 2
Add 1 pinch of Unicorn Horns to your cauldron
Stir 2 times, clockwise
Add 2 Mistletoe Berries to your cauldron
Stir 2 times, anti-clockwise
Wave your wand to complete the potion
Jasmine decided that she'd better wash her hands again before starting to brew and so she did. Once that was taken care of, she headed to the cupboard taking great care not to walk by Kevin to get everything that she needed for the potion. Donning her gloves, which she had already cleaned, she was ready to begin.
Taking her mortar, Jasmine place one bezoar in it. Then she picked up the pestle and began to pound, crush and basically annihilate the bezoar. As she pounded she said under breath, "How could he dump me for another girl?" Pound, pound, crush. "He doesn't know what he's missing." Pound "Why do I still love him so?" Taking out her frustration on the bezoar was strangely therapeutic and it was pulverized into a fine powder in no time.
Jasmine glanced at her book, to check for the next step in the process. Then she added four measures of her bezoar powder to her cauldron. Her mind was starting to wander back to thoughts of Kevin and Jasmine had to fight to keep her focus. She started to cry again, which really was not productive. Looking over at poor, sick Zhenya gave her the strength to continue when all she wanted to do was curl up into a ball on the floor.
Jasmine added two measures of Standard Ingredient to her cauldron. Now she had to heat the cauldron for five seconds. Taking out her wand again, she directed it beneath the cauldron and said, "Incendio". She set the heat to medium and then checked her watch for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 seconds. Giving her wand a wave, Jasmine set the timer on her watch for thirty four minutes. That was a loooong time to wait when you had love on your mind.
"You're welcome Jasmine," she said softly, glad Jasmine was returning her hug. She nodded, fully trusting her partner to cure her. Now that she had the right amount of water, she got started.
Glancing inside her cauldron to make sure both of the scouring charms had worked, she pointed her wand at it and said "Aguamenti," until she thought there was three ounces in there. Looked about right. She flipped back to her textbook…
SPOILER!!: TEXTBOOK
Love Potion Antidote (INGREDIENTS)
Wiggentree twigs (11-12 lots)
Castor oil
Extract of Gurdyroot (3 lots)
(Method)
[s]Add three ounces of water
Add four Wiggentree twigs, or until the potion turns green.
Stir until the potion turns orange (12 times)
Add castor oil until the potion turns blue (ONE DROP!)
Stir until the potion turns purple (21 times)
Add extract of Gurdyroot until the potion turns red (3 drops)
Add Wiggentree twigs (One)
Add Extract of Gurdyroot until the potion turns purple (3 more drops)
Leave the potion to simmer till it turns red (15 minutes)
Add more gurdyroot extract till it turns green (3 drops)
Stir till it turns orange (9 times)
Add seven Wiggentree twigs.
Allow to simmer till it turns pink (Seven minutes)
She wanted to take it real slowly, so she added one Wiggentree twig and waited a few seconds. Still clear. She added another one. Still clear. Right, that was half. She added another one, and it started turning a yellowish green colour. Gross. Like vomit! She added another one, and the potion turned a lovely shade of green. She smiled wickedly. Wait, no, she wasn't a wicked witch! She tuned her smile down and emitted a gigantic YAAWWWNNNNN! Oh wow she was REALLY tired! Maybe she could just take a nap here…
She folded her arms on the table and rested her head, counting to ten, breathing through her tiredness. It didn't work as well as the nausea but she felt slightly more awake. No she didn't. She then had to stir. Picking up her stirrer, she gave the potion one stir. Still green. Another stir. Still green. She had to stir it 12 times before it changed to Orange. She took out her stirrer, pointed her wand at it and said "Scourgify," to give it a good clean. No contaminating THIS potion!
Castor oil next. Hmm, there was just no approximation for this ingredient. She decided to go drop by drop, not wanting to add too much accidentally. She took the lid off, inverted it, and watched one measly little drop fall into the cauldron, which turned Blue immediately! Whoa! That was only ONE DROP! She had to stir it again. Picking up her clean stirrer, she stirred it once. Twice. Three times. Six times. Eight times. Twenty times, twenty one… PURPLE!
She cleaned her stirrer again and set it down on the bench next to her. Time to add the… extract of Gurdyroot. She carefully unstoppered the bottle and dropped some in. Three drops and it changed shade again to a beautiful deep RED! Then she picked up more Wiggentree Twigs and added one. She was nervous. It didn't say what colour it had to change. She decided to keep it at one and move on to the next step, hoping it would turn purple. She added another three drops of extract of Gurdyroot and it turned PURPLE again. She exhaled with relief, and added all the steps into her textbook, just in case she would have to brew it again, or show the Professor.
She put her timer on and sat there watching her potion simmer. It had to turn red again. She put her elbows on the table and rested her head on her hands, trying so hard to keep awake. Her eyes kept closing, they were so heavy. One minute the potion was purple, and the next minute it was RED! She stopped the simmering, looked at her timer and wrote 15 minutes down. Right, more Gurdyroot extract. She added one, two, and three. Three was the magic number with the Gurdyroot extract; the potion turned back to the original green. More string. She picked up her stirrer and stirred the potion a total of 9 times, until it turned Orange. Then she added the Wiggentree twigs one by one, for a total of seven. There was no colour change, nothing in the book said she should expect to. Simmer time. Hopefully she would stay awake. She put her timer on and started gazing around the room to see what everyone was up to.

Of course, Kace was sick looking too, so essentially, two birds, one stone? But ULTIMATELY one bird that he very much wanted to get to know. He still had no idea what the beaaauuutttifffuulll girls name was. He was sure it was going to be amazing, angelic and perfect in EVERY way.
Betweeen googly!lovey eyes in her direction, quick peaks at his partner, and distracted flipping of pages of his textbook, he reached the following conclusions.
1. She was sick.
2. He had to help her so that they could spend the rest of their lives toegther.
3. He had to brew an antidote for this potions class whatever it was it barely mattered anymore.
4. She was sick.
5. He had to fix it alllllll.
It was obvious, even by the ramblings of his inner thoughts, that he was going to assume responsibility of poisoned Kace in addition to his primary goal which was healing his BELOVED!
She looked, not well. She had thrown up in her cauldron. It was bad.
According to his notes and things, it seemed as though she was likely suffering from a common poison, which MIGHT - if he was lucky enough - be what Kace too was suffering from.
The first thing he did, was set up his pewter cauldron, cleaning it first, "Scourgify," and then adding a liquid base from which to work with, "Aguamenti". The recipe in his book didn't state of what or how much, so he estimated with what he thought was sound judgement. He'd brewed enough potions to know how much water made a base, right? RIGHT!
"Do you think she'll marry me if I heal her?" he asked Kace absentmindedly. And yet a better question, could she transfer to Gryffindor to be with him? Or he'd happily go to Slytherin... HECK! He'd fly to the moon and back for HER.
.... "And I'm still not sick, I think I got a dud," Zeke mused, realising that he wasn't being ailed by anything. Lucky hiiiiiim.
Zhenya noticed a boy staring at her. He was… he was a Gryffindor. Looked to be first or second year. She was very startled; not many people stared at her. She wiped her face, wondering if there was vomit on it. There could have been? Then she turned around to see if anyone else was staring at the boy; maybe he wasn't staring at her but past her. No one she could see was staring at him. She raised her eyebrows slightly and pointed to herself, as if to ask Are you staring at me? Maybe he was trying to copy her potion?
She looked back at her potion and it was PINK! Good. That was seven minutes! She scooped some of her potion into a flask and turned to Jasmine; "I think I've done it! I've got your cure right here." Maybe she could lie and say it was strawberry flavour. It was pink… Now she just had to get the Professor to have a look at it.
She slipped down her chair and, WHOOPS, slipped right to the ground. The potion, still intact securely in the cylinder flask, rolled away.

...........
As for... the rest of... everything...
....
YAWN...
Phoenix nodded along for a second or two - he knew Grayson was talking, but he just was struggling to... listen... it was warm in here... he was so sleepy.
My Phoenix. "Your Phoenix....... is that... me..?" YAAAAAAAWN.........
...
Mmmmm.... WAIT. "Don't shake meeee..." he whined, pulling a sulky face. "It's too tired... late... sleepy..." What? "It's... I'm... Am I alive?" He wasn't entirely sure right now. He was just so tired.
...
CELEBRATE? Phe's eyes, though drooping right now, still managed to widen just a little. "But... no... let's-" YAWN "-sleep instead..." He plonked himself down onto his seat and pulled his legs up next to him. "We can do the potion later... s'not important..." Nobody was dying, probably. "Y'know.. you're really... pretty..." Yawn... Though he was still just about managing to keep his eyes open, because he wanted to make sure Grayson got to have a nap too... 'cause that would be the best thing in the world right now, yeah?
So pizza was on? Brilliant! Sure, it wasn't the most exciting of adventures but the Gryffindor had agreed to getting some food and Grayson wasn't about to say no. Not when there was a possibility for them to hang out. Just saying.
But after the lesson. Right now, he was busy marvelling at the fact that everything was so GREAT! LIFE was great! He could almost LAUGH at his previous self that had been stressing over silly things like the OWLs and his future. They were important but man alive, he didn't need to STRESS. That took away from the HAPPINESS he felt right now.
And boy, did he feel HAPPY!
Look at his face!
*BEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!*
Even Phoenix's confusion and the yawning didn't do anything about this elated feeling. On the contrary, it made him feel even HAPPIER that the boy was asking. "Of COURSE that's you, silly!" he said, gently slapping the boy's arm. Oh Phoenix!
No shaking? OHKAY! "Whatever you SAY, Captain!" he called, giving him a mock salute and then bursting into a fit of laughter. Why? He had no idea. His heart was SOARING! "We're SOAAAAAAARING! FLYYYYYYYYYYING!" Grayson threw his arms out wide and BELTED, "THERE'S NOT A STAR IN HEAAAAAAAAAAAVEN THAT WE CAN'T REACH!" Was Phoenix joining in? HE SHOULD! "We're ALIVE, BABY!"
Sleep?
Sleep?!
SLEEEEEEEEEEEEP?!
Grayson GASPED. "SLEEP?! How can you think about sleeping and not--"
But then he stopped. And stared. STARED. "Potion? We're meant to be brewing a......" GASP! "PHOENIX! We're meant to be brewing a potion! Me for you for this........ whatever's going on with you." With the YAWNING. If he could get Phoenix to stop yawning, the Gryffindor might just join in with the singing! Oh how WONDERFUL!
"We have a challenge, Phe!" he said in a sing-song voice, pulling his textbook closer towards him and flipping through it.
Angel continued to give her best puppy dog eyes and then started to sing. "It's so easy to fall in love, it's so easy to fall in love. People tell me love is for fools, so here I go breaking all of the rules." Angel was totally going to continue this song when she suddenly noted AJ and Ian... she decided that she probably should save her sister from any more embarrassment.
Angel hoped that her sister would thank her for this because if not she would totally not be happy. "Sorry Handsome... I need to save my sister first." Angel was totally still in love with him though. "You know I'd move mountains if you asked me too and I'd swim the seven seas." Angel loved him so much.
Angel found the antidote.

So Maddie knew what she needed to make for her antidote. Good lets get to it. "Yeah, good you can make it right?" Pleaseeeeee. Make it for her.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Maddie no sleeping. No sleeping. Potion making, yes. Do it. Cinna didn't like being this happy. Happy, ummm normal happy was fine. This grinning and giggling all the time. No just no.
Ahhhh she had it. She had it. She bounced around HAPPY that she found what she was was making as a antidote for Maddie.
"Maddie?" Shaking her slightly to wake her up. "Maddie? Wake up. I found it. I FOUND IT. You need a Girding Potion." She needed some stamina. And girding potions increased stamina and endurance. This had to be it. She was going it go with her gut on out this one. She flipped to a new page in her notebook. She wrote down the info for the girding potion.
Now that she had that written down she could get to work. Now if Maddie would wake up and get to work that would be great. "Scourgify." Yep she had to clean her cauldron. Cleaning made her happy. Very happy. And now for the big show. She read the first instructions. Fill the cauldron with water. She rolled up her sleeves and started filling her cauldron with water. "Aguamenti!" Man did she love potions it was just so awesome and it was just a happy time.
Maddie DID wake and though she was slightly groggy and her muscles still felt heavy, she didn't feel like she could sleep for a thousand years anymore. Rubbing her eyes, she wondered if the potion she'd taken might be wearing off. The class was moving along quite quickly so maybe..."Yes, sure. Okay." Truth be told, the thirteen year old hadn't heard with her partner had announced but she was just glad the Gryffindor seemed motivated. Lazily she raised her hand and gave the girl a weak thumbs up. SHE had work to do now too.
Focusing on her cauldron, the second year picked up her wand and slowly pointed it inside. "Scourgify." Then she consulted her notes. She'd need a pint of water and it had to be warmed before she could do anything else so she'd start there. "Aguamenti." Holding the wand steady with one hand, Maddie tapped her cheek lightly with the other. Trying to snap herself from her sleepy stupor, y'see? She really didn't want to fail. The thought made her want to wibble again but no, no wibbling. She--OH. That was about a pint. "Finite."
After lighting a fire underneath the cauldron and letting the water warm, Maddie searched for the fluxweed oil and her dropper. Every movement was slow and it was incredibly annoying to the brunette but she was motivated now, knowing both the class and her time in this state would soon be over.
"Scourgify." She cleaned the dropper once it'd been found and then took a breather. Merlin, this was tiring. Did the elderly feel this way ALL the time? It made the thought of aging really frightening, honestly. Maddie shook those thoughts from her tired brain and sucked up some of the fluxweed oil. Then she added six drop of it to the warm water.
After cleaning the dropper again and setting it aside, she glanced at her notes again. Blurry vision wasn't fun so more rubbing of the eyes happened and when she wasn't seeing spots anymore, she noted she'd need her mortar and pestle. Each were cleaned, albeit a bit slowly, and then she needed...bloodroot stems. She seemed to be out of THOSE. Looking at the cupboard across the room, Maddie let out a heavy sigh. This..was going to be exhausting.

Well at least the potion was giving her lots of energy and stuff. She made a mad dash to get ALL of her ingredients. Which wasn't too many, just fairy wings, dragonfly thoraxes, flying seahorses, doxy eggs and her choice of ingredient. He he she kind of liked her power to choose her potion ingredient.
Skipping as she headed back to her seat with the ingredients in hand. Now let's see, reading the instructions she seen that she needed to add the fairy wings and heat up the potion until it turned turquoise in color.
She waited until the potion changed to a turquoise color before adding three of the doxy eggs. At that point she was suppose to wait until it turned pink. Next she added twenty of the toasted dragonfly thoraxes.
On the twentieth the potion turned red. Then she heated it until it turn blue.
Anddddd there it was it was Blue. After the potion turned blue she went ahead and added the other twenty dragonfly thoraxes to her potion.
1...2...3...4...5...
...15...16...17
On the seventeenth dragonfly thoraxes the potion went from blue to silver. A minor freak out when that happen. MAN. She was going to have to start alllll over again. But she seen a note about the dragonfly thoraxes it might NOT take all twenty. Okay good the potion was silver just like she wanted it. Man she was still happy too happy for as stressed out that she felt deep down inside. She was stressing potions. Happy yay. Potions final. Ahhhhh!!!! The happiness potion must be starting to wear off now.

[potion 4] post 3, starting the antidote (near the end) - Adi and Norah
Shoe!Girl │ Rebel Ravie │ Confundus Queen │ RP Addict
Brooklyn had only giggled more at the look on the boy’s face when she’d hugged him. He wasn’t getting the point. He needed to be happy, and she was trying to make him happy. Hugs made people happy. And compliments. She’d giggled again as he’d corrected her. “Nope. Everybody’s bee-autifullll,” she left as her parting thought. “Thank youuuuu,” was also sang back toward him. She wanted him to know she’d liked the compliment too, even though he was WRONG. Handsome was just a silly word. It didn’t meeean anything. Just a silly word, that she started singing quietly under her breath as she’d returned to her cauldron and hugged Norah. Silly, silly word.
“Nope!,” she sang out, as her partner had hugged her back and talked about never ruining the fun. Ruining fun was BAD, and bad things weren’t allowed. Only fun and happy things, and they needed to spread the happiness around. There were too many people in the classroom who weren’t happy. That was bad too, and she’d started bouncing, swiveling her head around and singing under her breath as the hug stopped to keep track of ALL the people who needed to be happy. They needed their help. She was going to make sure they got help. Somehow. It was her new mission. Missions were fun. She’d seen Norah start bouncing around the table too, and the flailing, but she’d just kept planning how they could make everyone happy, bouncing in place. Hugs were important. And probably the cauldrons too. They had to be here for a re-e-eason. Although they were beautiful too. Yep. Beautiful almost shiny cauldrons. Needed to be shinier, and a spell came to her mind. “Scourgify!,” she sang out, flailing her wand at the cauldrons. One of those was hers. It needed to be SHINY!
Her head had swiveled again as she’d heard her name, and more giggles spilled out. It sounded even MORE beautiful when it was said like that. “Noooraaaah,” she returned, bouncing over to the Hufflepuff and giggling as Norah made her suggestion. “We should! Everyone should go to Neverland, mhm. NeVERLAND!!!,” she sang back, going into a paroxysm of just singing Neverland over and over. There HAD to be more beautiful places outside of this room. But first, this room needed to be beautifuller. It was so dark. Maybe that was why so many people looked sleepy. “Lumos!,” she called out, giggling yet again as a bright light appeared. Pretty.
Ooh, potions. Her attention at least halfway went to Norah again as the older girl suggested they make one so they could escape the room. Her eyes kept going back to the bright light she’d conjured, though, a big grin on her face. “Course not. Why would we drink a potion? Calm sounds like sleepy and if we’re sleepy we won’t wanna leave,” she pointed out with a little giggle. They’d just make the potion and give it to the big man at the front. He looked like he knew what to do with them. Plus, he looked happy so he didn’t need her help. She’d heard him laughing, and that meant happy. Always. Ooh. Norah had her book out and was reading things aloud. Stuff about that calm thingy, and she picked up her notebook and started scribbling, the potion notes well mixed in with random thoughts and misspellings.
SPOILER!!: Calming Draught
Calming Drot
Use/Effect:
To calm and soothe the drinker – why would ANYONE want to be soothed when they could be HAPPY
Ingredients:
1 pint water
6 drops fluxweed oil
Inner membrane and fluid from 3 bloodroot stems
1 Valerian root, minced
1 drakm calendula pollen
3 skullcap leaves
1/2 drakm powdered root of asfodel (scant)
1 Hyacinth flower, whole
1 ounce slime from the belly of a spritely frog
1 sprig of peppermint
4 drop glumbumble fluid (take care not to overuse!) – glumbumble, glumbumble glumbumble
Instructions:
**STAGE 1**
Add 6 drops fluxweed oil to warm water.
Split the bloodroot stems lengthwise with your knives and scrape out all fluid and fybrus material from inside the stems. Crush with mortar and pesle into a fine paste and add to the cauldron.
Stir slowly until a light steam rises from the cauldron, alternating clockwise and counterclockwise stirring.
**STAGE 2**
Mince the Valerian root and add it to the potion.
Add calendula pollen, stirring three times clockwise.
Shred the skullcap lengthwise, and slowly add it to the potion
Bring the temperature back up until the steam is rising again, stirring clockwise slowly. It should be a light blue-green at this stage. – oo pretty
Professor's note: Remember your intent-- concentrate on being calm and infusing your work with a calm, deliberate result.
Add asphodel -- you should see a bright blue flash of light in your cauldron
Add the Hyacinth flower; the potion should stop glowing
Allow the potion to steep while you collect the frog slime. For best results, do not harvest the frog slime until this time!
Add the slime and a sprig of peppermint and bring to boiling, stirring in alternating clockwise and counterclockwise stirs once again.
When the potion thikens and turns deep indigo, add the glumbumble fluid.
Continue stirring in a clockwise motion until the solid ingredients have all disintegrated and the potion is a thick, surupy indigo fluid that smells of lavender, warm sugar and sweet mint. There should be a light purple-pink sheen in the steam that rises from the potion.
Take a sample of your potion and bottle it into a phial.
By the time she’d finished scribbling, she’d begun singing “Glumbumble” over and over again, getting progressively louder and completely not paying attention as Norah had started her potion. Oops. Giggle. She bounced back to her cauldron, sticking her head inside and inspecting it for dust or anything that might’ve snuck in to ruin things after she’d cleaned it earlier. Poking at it, she decided it was clean, so she flailed her wand back inside. “Aguamenti!,” she sang out, giggling as water started pouring into the cauldron. She had to stop herself from switching over to singing that word over and over again. She didn’t want to get TOO far behind her partner. That would be bad. No getting behind. No badness ALLOWED.
She’d giggled again as she dripped from the bottle labeled fluxweed oil into the water in her cauldron, sticking a finger in the water first to see if it was warm. Yep. Warm water. “One, two, three, fourfivesix,” she counted out, watching six little drops of oil mix with the water. It made pretty swirls. Pretty. Another giggle slipped out as she tore her attention away to bounce over to look for a bloodroot stem. That was next, according to watching Norah and looking at her scribbles. Oooey, gooey bloodroot paste. She had to hold back the giggles that threatened to spill out as she’d found the root and carefully sliced her knife along the length of the stem to split it open. Cutting herself would be bad too. A giggle escaped as she saw the reddish ooze starting to slip out of the cut, though. It looked like blood. She used the tip of her knife to scrape everything inside the stem into the smushy bowl, though, then used the smushy stick to smush it all into a paste. Like her notes said, and another giggle sounded. She could do this. All that was left for the first part was stirring, so she put a spoon into the cauldron, cleaning it first with another giggle, then started stirring. Back to her sing-song repetition of “glumbumble”.

So pizza was on? Brilliant! Sure, it wasn't the most exciting of adventures but the Gryffindor had agreed to getting some food and Grayson wasn't about to say no. Not when there was a possibility for them to hang out. Just saying.
But after the lesson. Right now, he was busy marvelling at the fact that everything was so GREAT! LIFE was great! He could almost LAUGH at his previous self that had been stressing over silly things like the OWLs and his future. They were important but man alive, he didn't need to STRESS. That took away from the HAPPINESS he felt right now.
And boy, did he feel HAPPY!
Look at his face!
*BEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!*
Even Phoenix's confusion and the yawning didn't do anything about this elated feeling. On the contrary, it made him feel even HAPPIER that the boy was asking. "Of COURSE that's you, silly!" he said, gently slapping the boy's arm. Oh Phoenix!
No shaking? OHKAY! "Whatever you SAY, Captain!" he called, giving him a mock salute and then bursting into a fit of laughter. Why? He had no idea. His heart was SOARING! "We're SOAAAAAAARING! FLYYYYYYYYYYING!" Grayson threw his arms out wide and BELTED, "THERE'S NOT A STAR IN HEAAAAAAAAAAAVEN THAT WE CAN'T REACH!" Was Phoenix joining in? HE SHOULD! "We're ALIVE, BABY!"
Sleep?
Sleep?!
SLEEEEEEEEEEEEP?!
Grayson GASPED. "SLEEP?! How can you think about sleeping and not--"
But then he stopped. And stared. STARED. "Potion? We're meant to be brewing a......" GASP! "PHOENIX! We're meant to be brewing a potion! Me for you for this........ whatever's going on with you." With the YAWNING. If he could get Phoenix to stop yawning, the Gryffindor might just join in with the singing! Oh how WONDERFUL!
"We have a challenge, Phe!" he said in a sing-song voice, pulling his textbook closer towards him and flipping through it.
Why. WHY. ... Why was Grayson being so... enthusiastic? Phe didn't understand. He was just... really sleepy. What had that potion even been, anyway? Maybe if he'd slept last night he'd have had an idea about what was going on, but right now all he could think of was his bed.
But he WAS Grayson's Phoenix. He smiled sleepily and gave Grayson a hug... ooooh warmth. He'd just close his eyes for one second... He relaxed with it - just a quick kip would be okay, right - but then he wobbled and almost fell over, but he just about managed to right himself onto his feet. There.
Whatever he said, right. So he could go to sleep? "I say... bed time... c'mon..." He reached for Grayson's hand, but then the guy threw his arms wide... no... nooooo... shhhh. "Sing a lullaby..." he whinged, waggling his hands at Grayson...
Phoenix eyed the textbook, then brought his own closer to his face. ... Hm... What... what was he doing..? What was wrong with Grayson..?
...
He was... chirpy.
Too chirpy.
Chirpy poison, probably.
He flicked through the book, squinting at the pages, though they were blurry with sleep... He could rest his head on there, that would be fine, right? Probably... so he did. "I'll...... be right... back..." YAWN...
Head rested face down on the book, Phoenix closed his eyes just for a second.
Eden was staring. Staring away her life. The ingredients to help the happiness--or whatever thing--was right in front of her, but she was just..her eyes were drooping--what was happening?
Oh--
His laughter...it was making her aware of her surroundings once more. Eden sat up and squinted at him. "Toby--Toby--" she sighed and held up a hand to his mouth. "please--stop...laughing...okay?" Her voice was hardly above a whisper because she was so exhausted. Apparently tired Eden was grumpy Eden, too.
SIGH.
Pulling her hand back, she slooooowly grabbed her wand from her robe and tapped her cauldron--well--what now? She blinked at the page. The words jumbled. She felt like she was going to slump over--and when her head SMACKED against the book on her desk--she just groaned into the page and kept her head down. Merlin. This poison was some serious BUSINESS.
Eden pointed her wand at her cauldron and said, very softly, "Aquamenti--" and began to fill her cauldron with water...eventually, though, she slumped over a bit...and the water from her wand began to pour out all over her desk............oops.
Only when she felt the wetness in her lap did she come back from her ...revery. "Oh--Merlin--" she pulled her wand back to stop the water..they now had a puddle at her feet..."oops..I...that---" Did they have towels? "What's the spell for...the cleany thing--" and she was losing focus again and was slumping against Toby...
O__O
"Eeeeedeeeeen, wake uuuuuup," Tobias said in his 'wakey wakey' voice, propping her back up in her chair. He'd have reminded her of the cleaning spell, but it looked like Culloden had helped her already. Such a nice guy. The Hufflepuff turned back to his potions book, remembering again that he had an antidote to brew, which was when he saw the page he'd paused on. "Sadness draught. I remember that. Did I ever tell you about my first year? Everyone was spiked with alihotsy, and then we had to brew this potion to fix it," Toby said, tapping at the page of the book he was at before flipping the pages again. "But then everyone was saaaad. But I'm not sad anymore."
Hmm. HMMMMMMMMM.
"I think you could do with a Wideye Potion," the Hufflepuff said, cheerfully and decisively. "If it works as the antidote for the Draught of Living Death, I think it'll work for youuuuuu. It'll wake your body up for you so you don't feel so exhauuuuuuusted, 'cause this totally counts as you being affected by a harmful potion."
Decision made, Toby BOUNCED SUPER HIGH ON HIS TOES FOR A SECOND BECAUSE HAPPY ENERGY, and then got his cauldron READY and his potions kit PREPARED and his notes ALL SET UP and the recipe WRITTEN DOWN.
"SCOURgify!" the Hufflepuff cast, pointing his wand into the midst of the cauldron, and then repeating the spell on his mortar and pestle, and then the stirrer. Tobias was still grinning, giddily happy, and kept BOUNCING ON HIS TOES. "Man. I'm so happy. I feel like I can do anything, y'know, Eden? Y'know? I feel INVINCIBLE. I feel like SUPER TOBES. Aguamenti!" That last spell was directed into the cauldron, not at Eden, because he needed a base for this potion.
And so Super Tobes started on his antidote, pulling on his gloves and counting out six of the snake fangs from their little container and placing them one by one into the mortar. This was quickly followed by the four measures of standard ingredient, though honestly Tobias was probably not as precise in his measurements as he might usually have been, what with being all bouncy and happy and distracted by ALL THESE GOOD THOUGHTS. As a result, a lot of the standard ingredient ended up on the worktop, but he still managed to get more or less the right amount in the mortar.
Still with his gloves on, Toby now picked up his jar of billywig stings and added six of those to his CAULDRON, and BLASTED a flame into the firepit below. "IncendiOOO!" Heat set to medium, and counting. Lots of counting. Well... thirty seconds of counting. Toby TRIED to be precise because he was doing this FOR HIS BUDDY EDEN, and as soon as was pretty sure thirty seconds had elapsed, he extinguished the flame with "Finite!"
And NOW IT WAS TIME FOR THE CRUSHY SMASH SMASH PART. Which Toby did, GLADLY. Really getting into FIIIIIIIIIIINELY crushing up all the ingredients together, REALLY GOING FOR IT. This was Toby's favourite part of potions, always had been, it was so fun and YEAH.
Four measures of THAT went into Toby's cauldron, just like the instructions said, and then he grabbed the stirrer. AND his wand, because he wanted to clean it again. This potion needed to be PERFECT. FOR EDEN. "Scourgify!" Aaaaaaaaaand stiiiiiiiiir the potion, three times clockwise, and even sort of dancing along as he did so, 'cause WHY NOT.
Tobias now waaaaaaaaaaved his wand over the potion and... PART ONE WAS COMPLETE. Now he had to let it brew for, like, ever, and then just the finishing touches. So now he could concentrate on being happyyyyyyy.
And SPINNIIIIIIIIIIING on the spot again, and hip-waggling and DANCING. "'Cause I'm happyyyyyy, clap aloooong if you feeel like happiness is the truth, nanana happyyyyyy, nananaaaa nana nanaaaa, lalala, ladadadeedah..."
Instructions -Add 6 Snake fangs to the mortar -Add 4 measures of Standard Ingredient to the mortar -Add 6 Dried Billywig Stings to your cauldron -Heat on a medium temperature for 30 seconds -Finely crush the ingredients in the mortar -Add 4 measures of the crushed ingredients to your cauldron -Stir 3 times, clockwise -Wave your wand

"Yes, lady madmoiselle señorita?" What was so exciting, hmm?
Oh, OH THERE HE WAS. Dot bounced around and when Culloden got close enough, she threw his arms around his middle and squeezed him. "Sophie and I are best friends, and you're her best friend, and now you and I are other other best friends. I'm already cool, because Sophie said so." And so he should like her best now too. Dot took his hand and tugged him over to look at her potion.
"What makes you happy, Mr. Professor Sir?"

She didn't, and she WOULDN'T interfere with their friendship, but she thought it would make Dot happy to know someone was offering to make things better for her.
Dot couldn't stop dancing around on her tiptoes, happily peering into her cauldron and then looking at what Sophie was doing. OH. Her notes, right. Riiiiiight right right. She turned down her heat and glanced very briefly at the clock, and then it was back to dancing. For Sophie. "You can't tell him anything. He doesn't want to be told. He wants to be the boss of him." He'd forgive her eventually, right? RIGHT? "How do you make someone unmad at you?"
OH AGAIN. She was sposed to do somethin', right? Dot pulled over her book again and looked at the next instruction. Re'em blood. Salamander blood. GROSSSSS. "This potion is so yucky." Those were supplies she had to retrieve from the professor's stores again, and Dot skipskipskipped up to get the portion of each. They did NOT go in the potion, though, nope, and she was lucky she realized that just in time. "Ooooops," Dot did a bootie shake and put the bloods into a clean bowl instead, and then there was stirring. Clockwise? Counter... what? She made her body into a giant clock and ticked her hands in a circle to figure out which was which. "FIVE TIMES AROUND THE CLOCK AND FIVE TIMES BACK. SHAKE IT ALL ABOUT. That is not what it is all about, Sophie." Nope.
"CRUSH THE GRIFFIN CLAW DORS. CRUSH the GRYFFINDORS." They had those in their kits, yeah? Dot did more bootie shaking in time with the claw crushing, and then OHMERLINTHETIME, she dumped the blood mix and the crushed claw into the potion all at once.
"Sophie. Did you miss me when you didn't know me yet?"

OOC Note
More than half of the class time has passed, so this means that while the symptoms won't wear off until they take an antidote, they should get weaker and your characters should have a clearer mind to brew an antidote.
Text Cut: Replies to people
Dad?
HAHAHA. Cosgrach didn't bother to stop the laugher, but just laughed to himself. Some dad he was, poisoning his kids... and messing up their love life.
He giggled to himself. He deserved the 'Dad of the Year' award, for sure.
"Of course you love him, sweetie," he said cooingly as he shoved the same terrible odour up her nose too. This should take her mind off Ian a bit and help her focus, yep.
Cosgrach lazily countered the hex, enjoying this more than he was mad. He was also glad Dot got it correct in the end, and wrote down the first thing she said, why, it sounded cool as a spell. If only he could create spells... maybe he would name a potion in the honour of -
"Yes, lady madmoiselle señorita?" What was so exciting, hmm?
Cosgrach, sadly, had to help her focus on the task instead of singing because of too much happiness. So he got up with only a little bit of Calming Draught - enough to calm her down not to sing.
"This will make your voice better." No shame for lying.
"Scourgify." More lazy wand-work from the professor. Anything to help his students, LOL.
"3 ounces," he said at the Slytherin girl, "it also doesn't say how many Wiggentree twigs you should add at step 6. Add until it turns green."
All good?
Text Cut: Casey
*insert Casey's post here*
Noooo, the floors were probably dirtyyy! Besides, she had a task to do.
"C'mon now, Marigold!" he said as he offered her a small glass of a liquid - it would give her A BIT of strength. Only a bit, though. The rest, she should find it in herselffff.
Was it GREAT now?
HAHAHA. Cosgrach just LAUGHED and nodded. "You're right, Zander. Thanks." Was he going to remind this afterwards?
Definitely.

Eden sat up when Toby gave her a gentle shove--and blinked a whooooole lot before wiping her eyes. Okay. She was feeling a TINY bit less exhausted--at least she could think straight right now. And then He was suggesting a Sadness Draught..that MIGHT counter his...happiness one. Yes. Eden flipped to that page in her book and then glanced up when Culloden helped her out--"Oh--thanks--" she said in his direction before squinting down at the ingredients in her book.
Her hands were still moving so...slooooow. But at least her MIND was awake. She tapped her wand gently to her cauldron and produced some water in it--and wondered how she was every going to cure Toby. She lacked SKILLZ. Like seriously.
BUT ANYWAYS.
It was time to brew some stuff! YEAH. She needed very SPECIFIC ingredients--so she slloooowly stood and shuffled over to the ingredients cabinet and pulled what she needed..yawning just slightly as she sloooowly shuffled back to her seat. She ruffled Toby's hair as she passed, though, to show she wasn't as grumpy as before. She felt like she could DO this.
Sadness DRAAUGHT.
Why did this require chocolate? Eden wanted to eat the chocolate. So she just hoarded it for herself and decided not to use it because she wanted to eat it. So there. She was sure the potion would still work...ahem. In her somewhat tired state, this was a GOOOOOD idea. -___-
Dropping siiiix little dots of the special water into her cauldron, she glanced up at Toby and siiiiiiiighed. "I hate that song." She said ....oh...the grumpy was back? But she really did dislike that very old song. Yep. But she didn't tell him stop--she just did a lot of sighing while pouring the butterbeer into her cauldron--she wanted to hoard that, too, but she really had to stop herself because then the potion would really not not not NOT work. And then came the fluxweed--oohh--how many did her book say? Seven? Eden squinted at her potion which was turning a very.....brown color and wondered how many she had done. OOOOOoooooooops.
Glanced up at Toby and then back at her potion she hoped she didn't kill Toby Tempus ;___; Everyone would hate her, surely.
She wasn't sure she was doing it in the right order either....
OH NO.

O__________O
She gave him a hug. The thought of living without him... too much... never... NEVER.... on her honor as a Gryffindor...
Oh hey. Did he know how AMAZING he smelled? It was faintly like Ruby, which was comforting, but also kind of like the library, her brother, and ...just something very Gabe. Mmmmm... Gabe....
With one hand, 'cause suddenly SHE JUST NEEDED TO BE TOUCHING HIM ALWAYS, Zahra ground up the scales for Gabe and added them. But she handed him the stirrer. She would mess that up and her world would end for disappointing him. "You do the honor. What kind of pizza do you like? I like you. Hehe. Gabey. hehe." La la la!
If his lovebug was sure.....
Not questioning Zahra's motives behind wanting him to stir, Gabe did the clockwise motions.....and then paused for a kiss or two.........or ten.
And since the next ingredient was already prepared....he went ahead and added that into the mix; followed by the required stirring.
The quicker they were finished here.......You know........
......and pizza. What was his favorite? Gabriel didn't even know. Couldn't properly say one way or the other.....but so he could give his lady love some type of answer....he went with a very manly sounding type. "Barbecue."......That was very manly, wasn't it? And...well, he did enjoy barbecue. So, there was that. Those two things were most likely awesome together....He'd try it soon enough.
"Almost done here....and then we can leave...." Raaaaaawr.
Ginger root. Peppermint. Mortar and pestle. Right.
Cleaning his equipment before introducing the new ingredients, Gabe measured out what was needed and then set to work. When done a certain way, this helped to get the juice out of stuff...without turning the actual ingredient into mush. Together, these two things were meant to refresh the mind and senses....and axe any headaches induced by the potion.
.......Hopefully.

But he WAS Grayson's Phoenix. He smiled sleepily and gave Grayson a hug... ooooh warmth. He'd just close his eyes for one second... He relaxed with it - just a quick kip would be okay, right - but then he wobbled and almost fell over, but he just about managed to right himself onto his feet. There.
Whatever he said, right. So he could go to sleep? "I say... bed time... c'mon..." He reached for Grayson's hand, but then the guy threw his arms wide... no... nooooo... shhhh. "Sing a lullaby..." he whinged, waggling his hands at Grayson...
Phoenix eyed the textbook, then brought his own closer to his face. ... Hm... What... what was he doing..? What was wrong with Grayson..?
...
He was... chirpy.
Too chirpy.
Chirpy poison, probably.
He flicked through the book, squinting at the pages, though they were blurry with sleep... He could rest his head on there, that would be fine, right? Probably... so he did. "I'll...... be right... back..." YAWN...
Head rested face down on the book, Phoenix closed his eyes just for a second.
And then another second...
And then another couple...
And maybe he was asleep...
Oh, he was being HUGGED? Oh how FANTASTIC! Grayson reached over and hugged the guy back, taking in the way his hair smelt. Phe always had great smelling hair and hugging him made him feel happy. Why was it that he didn't do this often? The answer was there, on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't quite put his finger on--
"Woah woah, careeeeeeeful, Phe!" he said, reaching out to steady the guy who-- OH! Oh look! He was okay again! Oh jolly! "A lullaby? But where's the fun in THAT, Phe?" Cue an exasperated, overdramatic sigh. "We should sing songs you can dance to and you should daaaaaaaance with me once we're done!" Because that would be FUN and who wasn't down for a bit of fun?
Grayson continue flipping through his textbook, a goofy grin spread across his face. He ran a finger down the list of one particular potion: the Girding Potion. It was a good potion for this cause and he was confident in himself that he could brew it. There was also the Invigoration Potion and the Vitamix Potion AND the WideEye Potion. The Slytherin glanced over at the Gryffindor, his brain starting to work in its usual way for this little bit. All four of the potions could work to make him stop yawning but which. One. Was it?
Tick tock.
Yeaaaaah, he was going to go with the Girding Potion just because. He needed to give the dude some energy, is all. So, turning his attention towards his textbook, Grayson set to work. The cauldron was, of course, Scourgified because cleanliness was key! What was also key was a bit of humming and some happy smiles and claps when the cauldron cleaned itself. This was going WELL, wasn't it?
Next? Water! "Aguamenti!" he called, grinning wide when the water gushes out of his wand and landed in the cauldron. Just LOOK at it! Gah, he was so HAPPY about how well this was going already! Once it had been filled up, Grayson went to collect up the ingredients he needed for this little potion. It took two trips, which normally would have annoyed the boy because of how lazy he usually was. But now? No complaints! He had EVERYTHING he needed and more!
Phoenix was asleep? If he could use his phone, Grayson would have taken a picture of the boy and shown it to him once he was awake. But he couldn't so, he simply patted the boy's curly hair and let him sleep on. He, however, was gonna strap on the gloves and start adding in the next ingredient: fairy wings. One whole set, which included two wings, was added into the water in his cauldron. When that was done, the fifth year turned on the heat and waited.
Now. While that was heating, he could concentrate on Sleeping Beauty over here. "Phoeeeeeenix! Wakey wakey eggs and bakey!" Shake shake! "I'll sing you a luuuuullabyyyyyy! THEN we can have a dance party when you're ALL awake again!" Uh huh! And he was going to be the one to brew the potion for that.
Ingredients:
- Water
- 50 dragonfly thoraxes (40 toasted and 10 untoasted)
- 1 set of fairy wings (2 wings)
- 3 flying seahorses
- 12 doxy eggs (4 measures of 3 eggs each)
- An ingredient of your choice
Instructions:
1) Scourgify cauldron
2) Fill cauldron with water
3) Add the set of fairy wings, then heat until the potion turns turquoise
4) Add one measure of doxy eggs (3 eggs), then heat until the potion turns pink
5) Add 20 toasted dragonfly thoraxes until potion turns red (might not take all 20)
6) Heat until the potion turns blue
7) Add the remaining 20 toasted dragonfly thoraxes until the potion turns silver (might not take all 20)
8) Heat until the potions turns red again
9) Add the remaining 3 measures of doxy eggs (9 eggs)
10) Add the 10 untoasted dragonfly thoraxes, then heat until the potion turns blue again
11) Add 3 flying seahorses, then heat until the potion turns green
12) Add the remaining ingredient

The quicker they were finished here.......You know........
......and pizza. What was his favorite? Gabriel didn't even know. Couldn't properly say one way or the other.....but so he could give his lady love some type of answer....he went with a very manly sounding type. "Barbecue."......That was very manly, wasn't it? And...well, he did enjoy barbecue. So, there was that. Those two things were most likely awesome together....He'd try it soon enough.
"Almost done here....and then we can leave...." Raaaaaawr.
Ginger root. Peppermint. Mortar and pestle. Right.
Cleaning his equipment before introducing the new ingredients, Gabe measured out what was needed and then set to work. When done a certain way, this helped to get the juice out of stuff...without turning the actual ingredient into mush. Together, these two things were meant to refresh the mind and senses....and axe any headaches induced by the potion.
.......Hopefully.

"Do you like to read, love bug?!"Snuggle, snuggle
Yeah! Kisses! Snogging and potions went together like BACON AND EGGS. Mmmm.
Oh but Barbeque? That was weird pizza. She almost said so, but then... she remembered.... how adorable her Gabriel was, and how much she loved pizza, so why not? WHY NOT? Anything for love!
Man. He was so busy. Zahra wouldn't have had two steps done on her own. To date, she'd yet to successfully finish a potion in this class. All the steps were overwhelming and apparently each step had to be EXACTLY right or it was wrong.
"Uhhmmm..... not really," Zahra settled in for snuggling. She wasn't exactly the ROMANTIC type, but snuggling next to the cauldron fire was alright. "I'd rather go... do stuff. Like dig holes." She turned her face to look up at him and smile, "You could read to me though. Your voice is nice now that you're using it. But also your lips, so could just use those too." Pause. "Too bad we don't have any marshmallows right now..."
Eden sat up when Toby gave her a gentle shove--and blinked a whooooole lot before wiping her eyes. Okay. She was feeling a TINY bit less exhausted--at least she could think straight right now. And then He was suggesting a Sadness Draught..that MIGHT counter his...happiness one. Yes. Eden flipped to that page in her book and then glanced up when Culloden helped her out--"Oh--thanks--" she said in his direction before squinting down at the ingredients in her book.
Her hands were still moving so...slooooow. But at least her MIND was awake. She tapped her wand gently to her cauldron and produced some water in it--and wondered how she was every going to cure Toby. She lacked SKILLZ. Like seriously.
BUT ANYWAYS.
It was time to brew some stuff! YEAH. She needed very SPECIFIC ingredients--so she slloooowly stood and shuffled over to the ingredients cabinet and pulled what she needed..yawning just slightly as she sloooowly shuffled back to her seat. She ruffled Toby's hair as she passed, though, to show she wasn't as grumpy as before. She felt like she could DO this.
Sadness DRAAUGHT.
Why did this require chocolate? Eden wanted to eat the chocolate. So she just hoarded it for herself and decided not to use it because she wanted to eat it. So there. She was sure the potion would still work...ahem. In her somewhat tired state, this was a GOOOOOD idea. -___-
Dropping siiiix little dots of the special water into her cauldron, she glanced up at Toby and siiiiiiiighed. "I hate that song." She said ....oh...the grumpy was back? But she really did dislike that very old song. Yep. But she didn't tell him stop--she just did a lot of sighing while pouring the butterbeer into her cauldron--she wanted to hoard that, too, but she really had to stop herself because then the potion would really not not not NOT work. And then came the fluxweed--oohh--how many did her book say? Seven? Eden squinted at her potion which was turning a very.....brown color and wondered how many she had done. OOOOOoooooooops.
Glanced up at Toby and then back at her potion she hoped she didn't kill Toby Tempus ;___; Everyone would hate her, surely.
She wasn't sure she was doing it in the right order either....
OH NO.
Ninety five minutes was a loooooooooooong time to wait. So Toby just whiled away the time by staying there and grinning around at the room and at Eden and occasionally skipping off around the classroom but always returning again and HUGGING EDEN whenever he did. Because hi. Hi Eden. Hello friend. HAPPYYYYYYYY.
He was totally oblivious, TOTALLY OBLIVIOUS, to Eden's potionmaking process, which was probably a little unwise. He'd be drinking it, and it might be a good idea to make sure all was well with it, but he had BOUNDLESS trust and faith in everyone around him. Everyone. Everyone in this room was all golden and glowy and Tobias loved and trusted and adored and saw brilliance in EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
It was... such a beautiful thought too, and... and...
Sniff.
"I'm just..."SNIFF."So happy." As he spoke, Toby brushed away a tear from his eye, and then, overwhelmed with SO MANY GOOD EMOTIONS, he started PROPERLY crying, happy sobs. BOY OH BOY.
Tobias, still beaming but sobbing, turned to Eden for a hug and buried his face in her shoulder so nobody could SEE HIM CRYING in case they thought he was being SAD.
"Everything is so... wonderfuuuuuuUUULLL." Sobbing. Bawling. Right into Eden's shoulder.

Mmm. Marigold mustered up the energy - mostly her brain saying COME ON, MCALISTOR to lift her arm up and take the glass from the professor. She mumbled her thanks and downed the glass. She pushed herself to sitting slowly, making sure she could avoid a head rush. Slowly but surely, she stepped her right foot in front into a lunge, then stoooooooooood up and immediately put the flask on a nearby table. That was exhausting.

And suddenly Marigold was... On the ground?!
AND MERLIN, THIS WAS AWESOME!! This whole class was AWESOME!! Potions was AMAZING!! And he couldn't wait to get started!! And man, he felt like he could be king of the ENTIRE world!!! Maybe he could slip some of his stuff in his pumpkin juice every day!!
Grinning widely as he did so, he grabbed onto Marigold's hand and lifted her off the floor-- or tried to at least. One thing was for sure, this stuff wasn't a strength potion. Ahem.
"Hey! I feel great, how bout you!?!" GRIN "I think we should make the potions because potions are so much fun!!! You know what, I think this stuff is great!!" Turning towards Culloden, he smiled brightly. "Great lesson Professor! I think this is really good stuff you've got going here," SO MUCH SMILING his face would probably be so sore after this. And a good ol' thumbs up for you sir! This stuff was AWESOME!! It was like coffee, but BETTER!
"Let's do the potions stuff Marigold! I'm feeling invincible today!" And with that, the Gryffindor half dragged her across the room and to their respective stations. Taking out his cauldron he did a quick, "Scourgify," and smiled even wider! Oh boy, the cauldron was SO clean now!!
Marigold did have at least enough energy to smile at Zander's antics. "Okay," she said through a nearly closed mouth. She dragged her textbook towards herself and groaned as she flipped the front cover open. "I think." Pause. "You have." Pause. "A cheering potion of some sort."

Reason: Colors.
Brooklyn had only giggled more at the look on the boy’s face when she’d hugged him. He wasn’t getting the point. He needed to be happy, and she was trying to make him happy. Hugs made people happy. And compliments. She’d giggled again as he’d corrected her. “Nope. Everybody’s bee-autifullll,” she left as her parting thought. “Thank youuuuu,” was also sang back toward him. She wanted him to know she’d liked the compliment too, even though he was WRONG. Handsome was just a silly word. It didn’t meeean anything. Just a silly word, that she started singing quietly under her breath as she’d returned to her cauldron and hugged Norah. Silly, silly word.
“Nope!,” she sang out, as her partner had hugged her back and talked about never ruining the fun. Ruining fun was BAD, and bad things weren’t allowed. Only fun and happy things, and they needed to spread the happiness around. There were too many people in the classroom who weren’t happy. That was bad too, and she’d started bouncing, swiveling her head around and singing under her breath as the hug stopped to keep track of ALL the people who needed to be happy. They needed their help. She was going to make sure they got help. Somehow. It was her new mission. Missions were fun. She’d seen Norah start bouncing around the table too, and the flailing, but she’d just kept planning how they could make everyone happy, bouncing in place. Hugs were important. And probably the cauldrons too. They had to be here for a re-e-eason. Although they were beautiful too. Yep. Beautiful almost shiny cauldrons. Needed to be shinier, and a spell came to her mind. “Scourgify!,” she sang out, flailing her wand at the cauldrons. One of those was hers. It needed to be SHINY!
Her head had swiveled again as she’d heard her name, and more giggles spilled out. It sounded even MORE beautiful when it was said like that. “Noooraaaah,” she returned, bouncing over to the Hufflepuff and giggling as Norah made her suggestion. “We should! Everyone should go to Neverland, mhm. NeVERLAND!!!,” she sang back, going into a paroxysm of just singing Neverland over and over. There HAD to be more beautiful places outside of this room. But first, this room needed to be beautifuller. It was so dark. Maybe that was why so many people looked sleepy. “Lumos!,” she called out, giggling yet again as a bright light appeared. Pretty.
Ooh, potions. Her attention at least halfway went to Norah again as the older girl suggested they make one so they could escape the room. Her eyes kept going back to the bright light she’d conjured, though, a big grin on her face. “Course not. Why would we drink a potion? Calm sounds like sleepy and if we’re sleepy we won’t wanna leave,” she pointed out with a little giggle. They’d just make the potion and give it to the big man at the front. He looked like he knew what to do with them. Plus, he looked happy so he didn’t need her help. She’d heard him laughing, and that meant happy. Always. Ooh. Norah had her book out and was reading things aloud. Stuff about that calm thingy, and she picked up her notebook and started scribbling, the potion notes well mixed in with random thoughts and misspellings.
SPOILER!!: Calming Draught
By the time she’d finished scribbling, she’d begun singing “Glumbumble” over and over again, getting progressively louder and completely not paying attention as Norah had started her potion. Oops. Giggle. She bounced back to her cauldron, sticking her head inside and inspecting it for dust or anything that might’ve snuck in to ruin things after she’d cleaned it earlier. Poking at it, she decided it was clean, so she flailed her wand back inside. “Aguamenti!,” she sang out, giggling as water started pouring into the cauldron. She had to stop herself from switching over to singing that word over and over again. She didn’t want to get TOO far behind her partner. That would be bad. No getting behind. No badness ALLOWED.
She’d giggled again as she dripped from the bottle labeled fluxweed oil into the water in her cauldron, sticking a finger in the water first to see if it was warm. Yep. Warm water. “One, two, three, fourfivesix,” she counted out, watching six little drops of oil mix with the water. It made pretty swirls. Pretty. Another giggle slipped out as she tore her attention away to bounce over to look for a bloodroot stem. That was next, according to watching Norah and looking at her scribbles. Oooey, gooey bloodroot paste. She had to hold back the giggles that threatened to spill out as she’d found the root and carefully sliced her knife along the length of the stem to split it open. Cutting herself would be bad too. A giggle escaped as she saw the reddish ooze starting to slip out of the cut, though. It looked like blood. She used the tip of her knife to scrape everything inside the stem into the smushy bowl, though, then used the smushy stick to smush it all into a paste. Like her notes said, and another giggle sounded. She could do this. All that was left for the first part was stirring, so she put a spoon into the cauldron, cleaning it first with another giggle, then started stirring. Back to her sing-song repetition of “glumbumble”.
Norah grinned and bounced along with with Brooklyn, letting their giggling blend together. Hooray for friends and giggles! Especially friends who liked her ideas! She gave Brooklyn another enthusiastic hug before turning to her cauldron.
STAGE TWO? HECK YEAH! Norah joined in on Brooklyn's singing of the FUNNY WORD. "Glumbumble!" Hehehehhehehe! "Glumbumble! Glumbumble!" BEST WORD EVER. "Aha!" she exclaimed aloud, thrusting the valerian root into the air with one gloved hand. Found itttt. Holding the root to her mouth, she began to sing into it as if it were a microphone. "Glumbumble! Glumbumbleeee!!!" Suddenly struck with an idea, she whipped around to face Brooklyn and shouted, "WE SHOULD START A BAND!" before getting back to her notes. So she had to mince this root thing? Mince sounded like wince and wincing was bad. The second year made a face. She didn't want to think about wincing. BUT wince sounded like win, and winning was good! Smiling again, she cleaned her knife and cut the root into eensy weensy pieces. Once they looked like winners to her, she added it to the steamy potion and crossed out the step in her notes, accentuating her victory with a momentary increase in the volume of her singing.
Moving on! HA! Calendula! HAHHA. Switching her song lyrics from "glumbumble" to "calendula," she skipped over to where Professor Culloden kept all the FUNNY SOUNDING ingredients. Like calenduuuula! Heh. Once she had found the ingredient from the stores, she began to skip back to Brooky Brooky Brooklyn, adding in a couple of leaps along the way. But somebody was crying! Rushing over to her fellow Puffer Toby, Norah gave him a super ginormous hug and said "Don't cry, it's HAPPYHAPPYHAPPY HERE!" before skipping away. Measuring out a drakm of pollen, she added it to her cauldron with a loud "Whoop!" PROGRESS, she was making it!
It took a good minute of rummaging before Norah found skullcap leaves in her kit. And a minute felt like AGES, so she started boing her curls at the same time JUST to make sure she stayed happyyyy and not bored. Boingboingboing. HAH. THERE! Pointing her wand at her knife once more, she sang "Scourgifyyy!" before picking it up and cutting her three leaves LENGTH wise just like it said. Add SLOWLY? How slow was slowly? Norah slowed the tempo of her "Calendula" song down slightly to math the rhythm of her leaf dumping, waiting what felt like FIVE BAZILLION YEARS between each piece of leaf. More time to enjoy the beauty of the world that way, yayayay!
AND THEN the leaves were goooone and she got to cross that off the list too! Time to play with fire! The second year blew all the hair out of her face that had fallen there with all her bouncing, and pointed her wand at the underside of the cauldron. Francine. The cauldron's name would be Francine, she decided. "Time to warm up, Francine!" she drawled, and then "Incendio!" Oooooh pretty fire! She watched, mesmerized, as she kept doing slowww stirry things the clock-y direction until there was floaty steam coming out of Francine. And it was BLUEISH GREENISH! THE BESTEST COLOR! "OOOOH! PRETTY PRETTY STEAM!" she cried, her mouth making the shape of a big O. Hiii steam. But wait! Norah squinted at her notes. Be calm? Poop. That was hard. She took a totally ginormous breath and let it out slowly, pausing before her next one for a big fit of giggles. Hehehe. Calendula. Calm, right. Callllm. More deep breaths. Hooray for breathing!
SPOILER!!: Norah's notes
**STAGE 2** Mince the Valerian root and add it to the potion. Add calendula pollen, stirring three times clockwise. Shred the skullcap lengthwise, and slowly add it to the potion Bring the temperature back up until the steam is rising again, stirring clockwise slowly. It should be a light blue-green at this stage
Professor's note: Remember your intent-- concentrate on being calm and infusing your work with a calm, deliberate result.
Add asphodel -- you should see a bright blue flash of light in your cauldron
Add the Hyacinth flower; the potion should stop glowing
Allow the potion to steep while you collect the frog slime. For best results, do not harvest the frog slime until this time!
Add the slime and a sprig of peppermint and bring to boiling, stirring in alternating clockwise and counterclockwise stirs once again.
When the potion thickens and turns deep indigo, add the glumbumble fluid.
Continue stirring in a clockwise motion until the solid ingredients have all disintegrated and the potion is a thick, surupy indigo fluid that smells of lavender, warm sugar and sweet mint. There should be a light purple-pink sheen in the steam that rises from the potion.
Take a sample of your potion and bottle it into a phial.

Glancing inside her cauldron to make sure both of the scouring charms had worked, she pointed her wand at it and said "Aguamenti," until she thought there was three ounces in there. Looked about right. She flipped back to her textbook.
Finally, Jasmine heard her watch beep. The thirty four minutes were finally over. Now it was on to part two of the brewing process. Trying to focus on her antidote and not Kevin, Jasmine got back to work. Since quite a bit of time had passed, Jasmine cleaned her spoon again. Checking her book, she saw that the next step involved unicorn horns.....a pinch of unicorn horns. Since when did a pinch become a standardized unit of measure? Oh well, Jasmine took what she thought was a pinch of the horns and placed it in her cauldron. Taking her spoon, Jasmine stirred the potion 1, 2 times in a clockwise direction.
Next she reached over and retrieved 2 Mistletoe Berries. Then she dropped them into the cauldron and stirred 1, 2 times in an anti-clockwise direction. Finally she waved her wand and her potion was complete at last. Unfortunately, she now had plenty of time to think about Kevin.
Before she let herself go there, she had to take care of her partner. "Zhenya, I did it. I finished brewing the potion" Hopefully it would work and Zhenya would feel better soon. Taking out a flask, Jasmine placed a sample of her poion inside of it. After she stoopered the flask, Jasmine walked up to Professor Culloden's desk and offered him the potion. "I finished Professor. What should I do next?"

OOOH! He knew just the potion for that! "I'm going to have to give you some energy, Marigold! And then maybe we can get you whatever I had because it's so awesome!" Right, reading over the ingredients he took out his potions kit.
The first step was easy. Water. "Aguamenti!" and into the cauldron you goooooo! POTIONS IS SO MUCH FUN HEHEHE. *Grin* "Don't worry, we'll fix you in no time and you'll feel so much better! Just like ME!" Cause he felt amaaaaazing.

OOOH! He knew just the potion for that! "I'm going to have to give you some energy, Marigold! And then maybe we can get you whatever I had because it's so awesome!" Right, reading over the ingredients he took out his potions kit.
The first step was easy. Water. "Aguamenti!" and into the cauldron you goooooo! POTIONS IS SO MUCH FUN HEHEHE. *Grin* "Don't worry, we'll fix you in no time and you'll feel so much better! Just like ME!" Cause he felt amaaaaazing.

Marigold YAAAAAAAWNED really wide because all her muscles were tiiiiired from flipping the pages of the textbook to the EXACT AND PRECISE POTION she was looking for. Her muscles needed more oxygen. MORE YAWNING. And her head was...like... Super tired. Her neck had to carry ALL OF THE WEIGHT that was her big ole brain. Wowweeee. It was tired. She set her elbow on the table in front of her and leaaaaaned her head against it, then found the page she had been looking for. AT LAST!
"Mkay, Zander, I'mmamake y'a potion t'help y'calm down." Her words were slurred slightly because all the energy needed to open and close her jaw and move her tongue to make sounds was a lot more than she actually had. Okay. She scourgified her cauldron slowly, because drawing her wand was a struggle, then prepared to make the potion.

Calming Drought
Use/Effect:
To calm and soothe the drinker – why would ANYONE want to be soothed when they could be HAPPY
Ingredients:
1 pint water
6 drops fluxweed oil
Inner membrane and fluid from 3 bloodroot stems
1 Valerian root, minced
1 drakm calendula pollen
3 skullcap leaves
1/2 drakm powdered root of asfodel (scant)
1 Hyacinth flower, whole
1 ounce slime from the belly of a spritely frog
1 sprig of peppermint
4 drop glumbumble fluid (take care not to overuse!)
Procedure:
Part One:
Add 6 drops fluxweed oil to warm water.
Split the bloodroot stems lengthwise with your knives and scrape out all fluid and fybrus material from inside the stems. Crush with mortar and pesle into a fine paste and add to the cauldron.
Stir slowly until a light steam rises from the cauldron, alternating clockwise and counterclockwise stirring.
Part Two:
Mince the Valerian root and add it to the potion.
Add calendula pollen, stirring three times clockwise.
Shred the skullcap lengthwise, and slowly add it to the potion
Bring the temperature back up until the steam is rising again, stirring clockwise slowly. It should be a light blue-green at this stage. – oo pretty
Professor's note: Remember your intent-- concentrate on being calm and infusing your work with a calm, deliberate result.
Add asphodel -- you should see a bright blue flash of light in your cauldron
Add the Hyacinth flower; the potion should stop glowing
Allow the potion to steep while you collect the frog slime. For best results, do not harvest the frog slime until this time!
Add the slime and a sprig of peppermint and bring to boiling, stirring in alternating clockwise and counterclockwise stirs once again.
When the potion thikens and turns deep indigo, add the glumbumble fluid.
Continue stirring in a clockwise motion until the solid ingredients have all disintegrated and the potion is a thick, surupy indigo fluid that smells of lavender, warm sugar and sweet mint. There should be a light purple-pink sheen in the steam that rises from the potion.
Take a sample of your potion and bottle it into a phial.

"Mkay, Zander, I'mmamake y'a potion t'help y'calm down." Her words were slurred slightly because all the energy needed to open and close her jaw and move her tongue to make sounds was a lot more than she actually had. Okay. She scourgified her cauldron slowly, because drawing her wand was a struggle, then prepared to make the potion.
Zander could definitely hear the prefect yawning, but WHY? Wasn't she so happy to be here in class today? To be learning about wonderful potions and getting to experience all the magical things? It was too awesome to sleep through!!! And if anything, the very sad sight of Marigold's tired self only motivated Zander further. He had to finish this potion so that she would be able to experience the awesomeness that was going on right now!! She was missing out!!
Calm down? NO! "I don't know to be calm, Mari! So'kay if I call you that? It sounds cool!" But anyways what was the point again? Oh yeah, "Seee, I'm perfectly happy without being calm!!" So happy that was.
But she was clearly dying and Zander had to fix it. Had to make her happy too!!! So the next step was... fairy wings? Uhm, okay... Taking out his gloves, he scourgifyed them before slipping them onto his hands. Then, he carefully lifted the two wings and dropped them into the cauldron before adding some heat in the form of "Incendio," though he wasn't sure just how hot to make it... He decided a medium flame would hopefully do the trick. And now they'd wait until the color changed?
And waaaaaaiting.... And waiiiiittting. You know what? WAITING WAS FUN! 'Cause he wasn't waiting in silence. He was humming lots of cool songs! This was great! AND TURQUOISE! Merlin, the potion was such a cool color. Could they keep it like that? But no! He had to save Marigold so that she could be happy too! She had to know how great it felt! So yes, he got three of the doxy eggs and added them into the cauldron, again using the gloves to hold them. Didn't want to contaminate, you know? Couldn't risk the effects not working!

Buttt now he was starting to feel really nauseous. He held his stomach to keep himself from throwing up. He put his hand up to hold on a minute. He then took gulps of air to not have vomit on the floor. "I feel like I am gonna throw up.." he told Zeke. Then he had a huge headache to go with it. He closed his eyes from the light because it hurt his eyes. He squinted and tried to get used to the light. Then he saw his hands shaking. This was not good.
Zeke was SUPER distracted still. Between monitoring the love of his LIFE, his partner and working on his antidote, his head didn't know where it was or what he was doing. Fingers crossed he didn't make any mistakes.
But oh? Kace felt sick? Throwing up sick? "That's what my Princess has," he mused, looking back at his Slytherin Princess Wife Bride TO-BE! .. "I recon you took a common poison, which is what she must have taken too. I'll get you both healed!" he said triumphantly.
According to his notes, he needed to crush his bezoar in the mortar and pestle thingy... and so he went about doing that, but not before cleaning it first. "Scourgify." Once his utensils were clean, Zeke added the bezaor and started pounding away at it, crushing it to a fine powder. It took a bit of elbow grease, but at least it was something he could do while admiring his BELOVED.
And oh gosh!!!... SHE SAW HIM TOOO!!!! <333333333
SPOILER!!: ZHENYA!!! <333 hehe

"You're welcome Jasmine," she said softly, glad Jasmine was returning her hug. She nodded, fully trusting her partner to cure her. Now that she had the right amount of water, she got started.
Glancing inside her cauldron to make sure both of the scouring charms had worked, she pointed her wand at it and said "Aguamenti," until she thought there was three ounces in there. Looked about right. She flipped back to her textbook…
SPOILER!!: TEXTBOOK
Love Potion Antidote (INGREDIENTS)
Wiggentree twigs (11-12 lots)
Castor oil
Extract of Gurdyroot (3 lots)
(Method)
[s]Add three ounces of water
Add four Wiggentree twigs, or until the potion turns green.
Stir until the potion turns orange (12 times)
Add castor oil until the potion turns blue (ONE DROP!)
Stir until the potion turns purple (21 times)
Add extract of Gurdyroot until the potion turns red (3 drops)
Add Wiggentree twigs (One)
Add Extract of Gurdyroot until the potion turns purple (3 more drops)
Leave the potion to simmer till it turns red (15 minutes)
Add more gurdyroot extract till it turns green (3 drops)
Stir till it turns orange (9 times)
Add seven Wiggentree twigs.
Allow to simmer till it turns pink (Seven minutes)
She wanted to take it real slowly, so she added one Wiggentree twig and waited a few seconds. Still clear. She added another one. Still clear. Right, that was half. She added another one, and it started turning a yellowish green colour. Gross. Like vomit! She added another one, and the potion turned a lovely shade of green. She smiled wickedly. Wait, no, she wasn't a wicked witch! She tuned her smile down and emitted a gigantic YAAWWWNNNNN! Oh wow she was REALLY tired! Maybe she could just take a nap here…
She folded her arms on the table and rested her head, counting to ten, breathing through her tiredness. It didn't work as well as the nausea but she felt slightly more awake. No she didn't. She then had to stir. Picking up her stirrer, she gave the potion one stir. Still green. Another stir. Still green. She had to stir it 12 times before it changed to Orange. She took out her stirrer, pointed her wand at it and said "Scourgify," to give it a good clean. No contaminating THIS potion!
Castor oil next. Hmm, there was just no approximation for this ingredient. She decided to go drop by drop, not wanting to add too much accidentally. She took the lid off, inverted it, and watched one measly little drop fall into the cauldron, which turned Blue immediately! Whoa! That was only ONE DROP! She had to stir it again. Picking up her clean stirrer, she stirred it once. Twice. Three times. Six times. Eight times. Twenty times, twenty one… PURPLE!
She cleaned her stirrer again and set it down on the bench next to her. Time to add the… extract of Gurdyroot. She carefully unstoppered the bottle and dropped some in. Three drops and it changed shade again to a beautiful deep RED! Then she picked up more Wiggentree Twigs and added one. She was nervous. It didn't say what colour it had to change. She decided to keep it at one and move on to the next step, hoping it would turn purple. She added another three drops of extract of Gurdyroot and it turned PURPLE again. She exhaled with relief, and added all the steps into her textbook, just in case she would have to brew it again, or show the Professor.
She put her timer on and sat there watching her potion simmer. It had to turn red again. She put her elbows on the table and rested her head on her hands, trying so hard to keep awake. Her eyes kept closing, they were so heavy. One minute the potion was purple, and the next minute it was RED! She stopped the simmering, looked at her timer and wrote 15 minutes down. Right, more Gurdyroot extract. She added one, two, and three. Three was the magic number with the Gurdyroot extract; the potion turned back to the original green. More string. She picked up her stirrer and stirred the potion a total of 9 times, until it turned Orange. Then she added the Wiggentree twigs one by one, for a total of seven. There was no colour change, nothing in the book said she should expect to. Simmer time. Hopefully she would stay awake. She put her timer on and started gazing around the room to see what everyone was up to.
SPOILER!!: ZEKE!!
AND
Zhenya noticed a boy staring at her. He was… he was a Gryffindor. Looked to be first or second year. She was very startled; not many people stared at her. She wiped her face, wondering if there was vomit on it. There could have been? Then she turned around to see if anyone else was staring at the boy; maybe he wasn't staring at her but past her. No one she could see was staring at him. She raised her eyebrows slightly and pointed to herself, as if to ask Are you staring at me? Maybe he was trying to copy her potion?
She looked back at her potion and it was PINK! Good. That was seven minutes! She scooped some of her potion into a flask and turned to Jasmine; "I think I've done it! I've got your cure right here." Maybe she could lie and say it was strawberry flavour. It was pink… Now she just had to get the Professor to have a look at it.
She slipped down her chair and, WHOOPS, slipped right to the ground. The potion, still intact securely in the cylinder flask, rolled away.
She had such pretty eyes, and skin, and lips, and hair, and eyebrows... WHICH MOVED! Was that a COME HITHER sign? He couldn't tell, but his head was clear enough to know he was supposed to be brewing his antidote. Instead, he spared her a wink and blew her a KISS. He'd save her!... and Kace. Ahem.
...
Returning to his notes, he double checked the method and ingredients, and then examined his bezoar powder. It was ready to go! He took his measuring instrument - that was cleaned too, and then he carefully took four measures of the substance and added it to his cauldron.
Next he took his jar of standard ingredient herb mix, and measured out two lots of it, then added those to his cauldron too.
Was it just him, or was this a little wishy washy airy fairy?
Lighting a fire beneath his cauldron he brought it up to a medium heat for five seconds, counting very carefully. And then with his Larch wood wand, he gave it a wave over his cauldron. Lalalalalal... binding magic... lalalala...
"Don't worry, Kace, I'll have you and her better in no time." Yes her, because he couldn't and wouldn't let HER suffer either.
Once that was done, he left his cauldron to brew, setting a timer to go off in 40 minutes as directed for his Pewter cauldron.

STAGE TWO? HECK YEAH! Norah joined in on Brooklyn's singing of the FUNNY WORD. "Glumbumble!" Hehehehhehehe! "Glumbumble! Glumbumble!" BEST WORD EVER. "Aha!" she exclaimed aloud, thrusting the valerian root into the air with one gloved hand. Found itttt. Holding the root to her mouth, she began to sing into it as if it were a microphone. "Glumbumble! Glumbumbleeee!!!" Suddenly struck with an idea, she whipped around to face Brooklyn and shouted, "WE SHOULD START A BAND!" before getting back to her notes. So she had to mince this root thing? Mince sounded like wince and wincing was bad. The second year made a face. She didn't want to think about wincing. BUT wince sounded like win, and winning was good! Smiling again, she cleaned her knife and cut the root into eensy weensy pieces. Once they looked like winners to her, she added it to the steamy potion and crossed out the step in her notes, accentuating her victory with a momentary increase in the volume of her singing.
Moving on! HA! Calendula! HAHHA. Switching her song lyrics from "glumbumble" to "calendula," she skipped over to where Professor Culloden kept all the FUNNY SOUNDING ingredients. Like calenduuuula! Heh. Once she had found the ingredient from the stores, she began to skip back to Brooky Brooky Brooklyn, adding in a couple of leaps along the way. But somebody was crying! Rushing over to her fellow Puffer Toby, Norah gave him a super ginormous hug and said "Don't cry, it's HAPPYHAPPYHAPPY HERE!" before skipping away. Measuring out a drakm of pollen, she added it to her cauldron with a loud "Whoop!" PROGRESS, she was making it!
It took a good minute of rummaging before Norah found skullcap leaves in her kit. And a minute felt like AGES, so she started boing her curls at the same time JUST to make sure she stayed happyyyy and not bored. Boingboingboing. HAH. THERE! Pointing her wand at her knife once more, she sang "Scourgifyyy!" before picking it up and cutting her three leaves LENGTH wise just like it said. Add SLOWLY? How slow was slowly? Norah slowed the tempo of her "Calendula" song down slightly to math the rhythm of her leaf dumping, waiting what felt like FIVE BAZILLION YEARS between each piece of leaf. More time to enjoy the beauty of the world that way, yayayay!
AND THEN the leaves were goooone and she got to cross that off the list too! Time to play with fire! The second year blew all the hair out of her face that had fallen there with all her bouncing, and pointed her wand at the underside of the cauldron. Francine. The cauldron's name would be Francine, she decided. "Time to warm up, Francine!" she drawled, and then "Incendio!" Oooooh pretty fire! She watched, mesmerized, as she kept doing slowww stirry things the clock-y direction until there was floaty steam coming out of Francine. And it was BLUEISH GREENISH! THE BESTEST COLOR! "OOOOH! PRETTY PRETTY STEAM!" she cried, her mouth making the shape of a big O. Hiii steam. But wait! Norah squinted at her notes. Be calm? Poop. That was hard. She took a totally ginormous breath and let it out slowly, pausing before her next one for a big fit of giggles. Hehehe. Calendula. Calm, right. Callllm. More deep breaths. Hooray for breathing!
SPOILER!!: Norah's notes
**STAGE 2** Mince the Valerian root and add it to the potion. Add calendula pollen, stirring three times clockwise. Shred the skullcap lengthwise, and slowly add it to the potion Bring the temperature back up until the steam is rising again, stirring clockwise slowly. It should be a light blue-green at this stage
Professor's note: Remember your intent-- concentrate on being calm and infusing your work with a calm, deliberate result.
Add asphodel -- you should see a bright blue flash of light in your cauldron
Add the Hyacinth flower; the potion should stop glowing
Allow the potion to steep while you collect the frog slime. For best results, do not harvest the frog slime until this time!
Add the slime and a sprig of peppermint and bring to boiling, stirring in alternating clockwise and counterclockwise stirs once again.
When the potion thickens and turns deep indigo, add the glumbumble fluid.
Continue stirring in a clockwise motion until the solid ingredients have all disintegrated and the potion is a thick, surupy indigo fluid that smells of lavender, warm sugar and sweet mint. There should be a light purple-pink sheen in the steam that rises from the potion.
Take a sample of your potion and bottle it into a phial.
The singing stopped momentarily as Brooklyn giggled for what seemed like the millionth time when she heard Norah join in on the repetition of the funny word. She’d picked it back up only a moment later, though, so hopefully nobody noticed. “Glumbumble, glumbumble, glumbumble…” It just sounded funnier and funnier the longer she kept repeating it. But that just made it awesome, too. And her potion was going to be awesome. Everything was just going to be awesome, and was that a boy CRYING? Crying wasn’t allowed. He was going to need to be made happy. “Ooh? We totally should!,” she replied just as loudly, completely distracted by Norah’s brilliant idea. A band would be amazing. They could spread their happiness even further by having a band.
Back to the potion, though. That needed to be finished before they could start a band. She located what she thought was valerian root, it was the same as her partner had picked up anyway, and after cleaning the remaining bits of bloodroot goo off her knife she minced the valerian. Another giggle spilled out as she thought about mincing. It sounded like dancing, and she found herself bouncing again, almost dancing, as she added the root to her cauldron. Followed by the drachm of calendula pollen once she’d measured that out, echoing the Hufflepuff’s change of song to ‘Calendula’ at the same time. Grinning at the sight of Norah hugging the boy who had been crying, too. Spreading their happiness everywhere, yep. Good. She stirred her potion three times clockwise, still singing, and then located skullcap leaves. There were a lot of things they needed to add to the potion. She knew she’d find them all, anyway. She was much too HAPPY to worry about not finding something. Happyhappyhappy. “Calendula, calendula, calendula…” She continued singing as she shredded the leaves longwise, then slooooooowly added the shreds to her potion. She had to stop herself from bouncing again as she did that just to keep it all sloooooow.
Bending down slightly, blowing a strand of red hair out of her face as she did so, she checked the flame under her cauldron, poking at it with her wand until it got higher. There, the heat was raised. She went back to dancing again for a moment. Fire dance! But back to the potion again. Sticking her spoon back into her potion, she stirred it clockwise again, back to singing again too, until the steam showed up again. This time the pretty bluey-greeny color and she stared at it a few seconds in wonder. Pre-e-e-etty. It was almost green, which was even more awesome. Yep. Awesome green, like her tie and stuff. She got distracted by her tie, and the singing quietened down. Pretty green. Still looking at her tie, she reached out for the asphodel and measured another drachm that was added to her cauldron. Poof. Pretty bluey-greeny light.
That distracted her yet again, and another giggle slipped out. Everything was just so PRETTY with this potion. It was awesome, and she stared at the glow. She tore her eyes away long enough to find a hyacinth flower, taking a second one and sticking it behind her ear as she returned her attention to her potion. Tossing the first flower into the cauldron, she pouted as the pretty glow faded away. “No, come back!,” she said, wanting the pretty glow to appear again. But it didn’t, and the pout continued as she started retrieving the frog slime. By the time she was finished with that, the calendula song had returned, and she slowly got louder as she added both that and a sprig of peppermint to the cauldron. “Calendula, calendula, calendula!” More stirring, and she bounced in time to every stir, alternating direction as the scribbles in her notebook said. Ooh, she was almost done. Stir, stir, stir, bubbles!
Looking into her cauldron, she kept stirring until the liquid inside was gooey and dark purple-blue. That looked indigo. Okay. Time for the glumbumble. Glumbumble! “Glumbumble, glumbumbleglumbumble, glumbumble…” she returned to singing, adding the drops of fluid into the potion. Onetwothreefour and more stirring. Stir stir stir. Stirry stir stir. She didn’t stop stirring until she saw a sheen of purple-pink rising from the cauldron, and then she started dancing again. Yay! Pretty potion! She knew she could do it! “Yay!,” she shouted. Now they could go out and spread their happiness. She leaned forward in her dance to sniff the steam, too, smelling mint, sugar and flowers. Yummy smelling potion. She just had to remember not to drink it as she found a vial and spooned some of the liquid into it. “Mr. professor man sir! Here!” she sang out, skipping up to the table at the front and thrusting the vial into his hand before wrapping her arms around him in a hug. Awesome hug.
