Potions 3 and Final The class is the same with the proper chairs with soft cushions to sit and lean back on, and they are still are charmed to take the most comfortable shape and height once a student is seated. The walls are still 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. 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.

It was time for Potions and Janelle arrived at the classroom with plenty of time to spare. Once she got inside, she was not surprised to see cobwebs everywhere. Why would this class be any different from all of the rest? Being such a stickler for cleanliness, Janelle knew that this had to be very irritating for Professor Culloden. The first thing Janelle did was wash her hands. Then, since she had her choice of seats, she headed toward her favorite one. 'Hello Professor", Janelle said with a smile. He didn't look to be in the best of moods today for some reason. Reaching her seat, Janelle made herself comfortable and began to prepare for the day's lesson. |
Potions Final! Adi was READY for this! Not even the silly cobwebs were going to get him down. Nope, nope. "Hiiii, Professor! It's a brilliant day to be looking so depressed.'' The look didn't suit you, Mister. He gave the man the most cheerful smile that he could muster. "Have you got any Antillergen Potion with you? I think Benny would definitely be needing some. He's allergic to the webs. They make him go ACHOOOO all the time.'' The poor bestie. Adi waved his wand here and there, helping to clean some of the webs. Just enough so that they wouldn't bother students. "It's a little better, I think,'' he told Culloden before shuffling off happily to find a seat... which he had to Scourgify too. Plus, the workstation. Drat these webs! Oh, heeeeey, Mini Jasmine! Adi waved to his friend. |
This term had been SUPER HARD when it came to potions, even harder than the OWLs. It was really making Caleb nervous for NEWTs...and he could feel that anxiety kicking in. It didn't help that BEANS WAS STILL GONE ugh. He was starting to lose hope. Poor guy had probably accidentally gotten turned into an owl's midnight snack in the owlery... "Hey Professor," he said with a smile to Culloden, before plopping down next to his fellow prefect Adi. He smiled at him and began to pull out his things. "Hey Adi - doin' good?" he asked with a friendly smile. Being social helped him take his mind off of his missing rat and his anxiety about being just a YEAR away from NEWTs. A WHOLE YEAR! THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH TIME. |
POTIONS. Sup, Potions. Dima was ready for you. Or..... maybe he wasn't, because today was the day of the final, yeah? He had a few guesses to what "Hi, sir! Morning! I think you have a cobweb in your hair." And SO NICE as Dima was, he actually reached over and plucked it out (probably along with a few of the professor's gray hairs, but who was counting?). With that, the fourth year bobbed along to his usual seat. Come at him, final. |
Toby had taken to casting the Impervius charm on himself every single day, on account of all the cobwebs and SPIDERS that were all over the school at the moment. As a highkey arachnophobe, it was all he could do not to turn and run the other way whenever he saw either of those things, which was an ISSUE when he had CLASSES. In his rational mind, Toby knew the spell made absolutely zero difference, but Toby wasn't very rational these days, and he was good at convincing himself of things that made him feel better. SOOOOOO the charm was in effect. In any case, it was probably a good idea when it came to working with potions, right? In case of cauldron explosions and splash damage. Actual genius Tobias Fuller-Thompson. Though when the boy himself entered the classroom now, he seemed to not even notice the cobwebs or the professor's mood or any of that; he was off in his own little world. The Hufflepuff set himself up at his usual table and instantly began drumming his fingers on the desk and his cauldron, finally looking around the classroom before his eyes fell on Culloden. He BEAMED. "HI SIR!" Toby called out, giving him a wave and then going back to taptaptapping. "PRIME potion brewing conditions today." He looked up to the ceiling as though checking the sky, where he suddenly saw ALLLLLLL the cobwebs. Which he promptly ignored. Disappearing animals. Cobwebs and spiders. NEWT stress. Impending graduation. They'd all done a number on Toby's brain, and not quite knowing how to process and deal with all the different stressors and such, Toby had simply gone a little bit weird...er than usual. Eccentric. It was much better than cracking under pressure, that was for sure. "I am ready to potion." |
It was time for Potions. Adjusting the strap of her bag on her shoulder Hady silently entered the classroom inwardly cringing to see more cobwebs in here. Her gaze instantly swept around the area in search of spiders. She couldn't help it. Pulling out her wand the third year softly muttered several 'scourgify's' about the area as she walked. "Morning Professor," she greeted quietly giving him a polite smile while making her way to her usual seat. Before she say though she made sure to cast the cleaning on the chair, table and everything else that was close to her. There wasn't anyway she was taking anymore chances. Things were going to be clean...or well at least as clean as she could get it for the moment. After several well placed cleaning charms were cast and she was somewhat happy enough with it Hady sat down placing her bag on her lap. How exactly were they going to be making a potion today with all these cobwebs everywhere? |
Cobwebs, there were were cobwebs everywhere. No matter how much you cleaned the cobwebs always came back. Were there more spiders than usual in the castle? It was amazing that the spiders could make new webs so fast. "Hello Professor Culloden. What would happen if a spider or a cobweb fell into a potion?" That could be a serious problem. It never turned out well when things that shouldn't be in the potion ended up in a potion. After scourgifying the desk and the chair, Penelope took a seat. The chairs in here were always comfortable. She was ready for the potions final. |
Ew. EW. Norah did nothing to hide her wrinkled nose and scrunchy forehead as she entered the potions classroom, on account of the cobwebs that had apparently taken over the whole entire universe. The corner of her mouth twitched at the sight of Professor Culloden, whose funny little wrinkles were back between his eyebrows, but she quickly went back to frowning. She had to keep up her IMAGE, okay? Frowny Norah, adversary of meanie spiders and scary things. And finals. GRRRRR. She stopped in front of Cullodens desk and gave him a silent salute with one hand, using the other to cover her mouth because those little wrinkles were ever better up close. The little frowny face ones, OH MAN. Heheheh. Heh. Wait. Grrrr. Right. She added a little bit of stomping to her steps as she made her way over to a seat in the front row. Just in case nobody got that she was 300% not okay with these cobweb things existing all over the place, y'know? They needed to KNOW. The fourth year used the sleeve of her robes to clear off the seat before sitting down and fidgeting as she eyed the mountains of those THINGS that were still very much there despite her efforts to clean them off. Sigh. SIGH. This was even worse than the time they were stuck inside for 87 years. |
More cobwebs, and AJ still wasn't able to collect anymore spiders. Where were they all? Didn't they know it was RUDE to have your homes set up everywhere, and not be there? Bad manners it was. The fourth year was in a really good mood as she entered the classroom. This was the most cobwebs she had laid eyes on inside of a classroom. Had Culloden given up on them because AJ got it. After a while it had to feel like a lost cause. Might as well embrace it, yeah? She got it. His sad look though. AJ rummaged around in her pocket and pulled out the unicorn charm that Otis actually didn't eat. She still felt bad for blaming the innocent owl, but he was the last one there and had been in a nasty vindictive mood. Who could blame her? Anyways, she walked over, and laid the unicorn charm on the professor's desk and gave him a warm smile. "I think you need this more than me." Turning on her heel, she went to find a seat next to Norah. Everybody in the class got a wave. |
Potions final! That meant only one thing...last potion he had to brew. Which while he didn't hate the subject as much anymore and actually was halfway decent in the subject matter, Benny was somewhat happy for. At least this time the exam wasn't in the form of an OWL or NEWT. No...this was an ordinary final. Hopefully that meant it wouldn't be quite as hard to brew. The wolfsbane had been difficult enough and he had had to to brew that twice. Well one and a half times. Entering the classroom, Benny realized that Professor Flamsteed's sneeze hadn't been the worst he had to worry about while brewing. The cobwebs were EVERYWHERE. The chances were far higher of one of them getting into his cauldron then cookie crumbs from the earlier lesson. "Hello Professor," he greeted Culloden, doubting it was that good for the man by his expression. He then looked around for familair faces before making his way towards Adi. "Hey," he greeted, taking a seat besides his bestie. Yep...he needed his brewing buddy. |
What time was it? IT WAS TIME FOR FREAKING POTIONS! Grayson skipped -- yeah, that's right, skipped -- down the corridor and towards the Potions classroom. It sucked that this just so happened to be the final which meant his last lesson with his favourite prof but whatever. He wasn't thinking about that now. Nah! He had a lesson to outshine other people in. The skipping came to a halt near the door of the classroom, which gave the seventh year enough opportunity to bop his collar and put on that familiar strut of his. "Heeeeeeeeey, Professor Cullo--" And........... head!tilt. What was with the look on Culloden's face? "You alright there, sir?" He gave the man a smile before glancing around at some of the others in the classroom. Alright, which one of these lunatics had annoyed Culloden and made him upset? 'Fess up and you might not get hexed that-- .............. HOLY FREAKING MERLIN WAS THAT DIMA TOUSSAINT??? The Slytherin made a beeline towards the younger Ravenclaw and plopped down next to him. "Dude, where in the freaking name of Merlin have you been?!" It felt like the last time he'd seen the guy properly, he was just a second year or whatever. How did he end up looking so....... grown up?! And the cobwebs were gonna be ignored. Though, if they dared to ruin his potion, he was gonna be mad beyond reason. |
Cobwebs. Cobwebs everywhere ... It was getting really annoying now. Ruffling his hair again for the 100th time probably to get rid of any in his hair, the fifth year entered the class. Noticing the professor looking glum as ever, Noel made a 'sigh' face. Because it was really just THAT kind of day. To look glum, be glum and do glum. Dropping his bag, the puff took his seat. Time to potions. |
Angel was moody, she was very moody... The Professor had better now give her any strange looks today or she might just scream the room down. Angel looked at the Professor. "Hello Professor." Angel gave him a weak smile. "I hope that you are having a great day?" Angel hoped that it was better than hers anyway. |
Text Cut: Replies He got uuuuuup, checked his clothes to make sure he was still clean, and started walking among the aisles as he made eye contact with whoever looked at him. "Two terms ago, we covered how to safely brew an already existing potion and what the safety means were. Today, we're going to learn about how to protect yourself against potions with bad intentions, whether they are dark or a regular potions gone bad and means of safety while experimenting." He stopped to take a breath and asked: "How can you protect yourself against poisons?" OOC: The class starts at this point, so please don't announce late arrival. Instead, assume your character has been in the room since the beginning. :) You can be creative with the answers. ^_^ But please say only one way in your post. I'll post again around 20 hours later. |
Nichelle gave a wave back to Adi as he came in. Then she took note of the Professor. He certainly seemed to be in a foul mood today. That could not be a good sign. Then it was time to begin and Professor Culloden explained what they would be doing today. "This should be interesting", Janelle thought. As the first question was asked, Janelle raised her hand to respond. What could they do about poisons? "Bezoar", Janelle said. "You can use bezoar, just in case you accidentally, |
After cleaning the desk, Maggie quickly sat down next to Noel, her nose slightly wrinkled. This was seriously getting out of hand. Big time. Like. The cobwebs. What were those house elves doing? Chilling somewhere with a house elf sized sombrero on their hats? Seeing as the class started right after she'd taken a seat, Maggie simply smiled at the Hufflepuff next to her. And then reached over to pluck a cobweb off his robes. Yes she even touched it. She was SUCH a good friend, seriously. Now it was ON HER FINGERS though and it wouldn't come off. Not even when she shook her hand. EW! Ah. There. Now. Good. All was well. Ugh. She shuddered a little in disgust before raising her hand to answer Professor Culloden's question. "Stay away from people you don't trust." Maggie suggested. "Or at least don't accept any food or drinks." That seemed like a good plan in theory, no? |
Angel had no idea what to say to that, the Professor was in about as good mood as she was. "I hope it gets better Professor." Angel wished that someone would do something about the cobwebs or she would go around the classroom and get rid of them herself. Angel raised her hand. "Professor you can use a bezoar right to get rid of the poison out of your system right." |
WELL. Someone was a mister grumpy gills today, wasn't he? Spoiler alert: Yes. Well, if it was about the cobwebs, maybe he could try doing what Toby did and ignoring all bad and unhappy things in the world ever, including cobwebs. It really was a very healthy way to LIVE one's LIFE, y'know? Toby thought so. Aaaaaand Culloden was talking to everyone else, AAAAAAND they were starting, so Toby didn't have much time to pass on that stellar advice. He just sat there BLATANTLY IGNORING ALL COBWEBS AND SPIDERS. They did not exist to him. Nooooope. And then the question came, and Toby let out an audible GAAAASSSPPPPP because he KNEW a good answer for that. It was a measure he'd taken TODAY. ... Of course, Toby had to wait a moment to answer, because in GAAAASSSPPPPPing, he'd ended up inhaling a piece of cobweb. This was not the first time it had happened, either. Lots of coughing happened, but Toby did eventually raised his hand. "Impervius Charm!" He offered no explanation, believing it to be quite obvious. |
So uh... The cobwebs. Could they talk about that? Or actually, could they not talk about that? Because Zander was getting real sick of Cobwebs, real quickly. Like seriously. What the heck was going on at this school!? And he couldn't even blame the House Elves because they were friends now. Or at least he was pretty much friends with Toddles now. Or were they frenemies? Or wait what was the question again? These were the thoughts that were occupying the Gryffindor's mind as Professor Culloden addressed the class as a whole. How come they were talking about stuff... Did that mean they weren't going to do a potion because Zander hated theoretical lessons even more than the normal kind. Also maybe Professor C hated them too because why else was he looking so glum? Though, it could have something to do with the cobwebs. The cobwebs that Zander didn't want to talk about anymore. Which brought him all the way back to square one. So uh, how bout them poisons? |
When AJ gives someone a unicorn charm that she made with her own blood, sweat, and tears, she expected a little bit more than a forced thanks. Like, what could be better? Okay food and a real unicorn, but let's be for real right now. Mr. cranky pants was going to get a pass this time because maybe something bad happened to him and that was why he was acting like somebody stole his bowl of cheerios. Poisons... everybody pretty much covered the basics. Some even repeated answers. Um. Um. Um. Really, she didn't have anything else to add. "Sniff test?" Yeah, it would have been better if she would have just stayed silent. She was working on that. |
Noel had deliberately placed his potions book on the side of his seat just ensure others knew it would be taken later. And so when Maggie arrived, he subtly moved it so she could sit. The glum-ness wavered a little as she smiled and so he smiled back. And oh cobweb check! Eh, stupid things. Noel gave Maggie a once over as well but nope, she was fine. But who knows what will happen the next time he looked. These cobwebs were just weird like that. Okay question time. "Perhaps a charm that you can cast which indicates the potion is dangerous?" Noel offered. He didn't have any better answer, nope. |
The cobwebs had almost made Brooklyn turn back around once she’d stepped into the Potions classroom. Except, it was nearly impossible to get away from them lately, and it had only made her paranoia worse. She didn’t particularly feel like getting bit by invisible spiders again, getting sick and missing lessons again. Plus, Professor Culloden looked hardly any happier about the state of his classroom than she was, so she’d headed for her desk quietly, taking her usual seat seconds before the lesson had begun. Even with her thoughts about leaving, she wasn’t late, and she’d given the professor a smile as he’d begun speaking. She remembered that lesson. She remembered that lesson quite clearly, actually, and her blue eyes looked toward Adi for a moment before she’d turned her attention back to the discussion. “Taste testers,” she said once the question had been made to the class as a whole. All royalty did that, after all. Considering they all had enemies, which meant food could be tampered with without their knowledge. Besides, it made just as much sense as smelling things, and she didn’t think someone could cast an impervius charm on their insides. And enough people had talked about bezoars. She wanted to be unique. |
Kate was just about to greet the professor and give him a hopeful line or two to cheer him up, when he suddenly began class. She'd have to skip the hello's for now and get right on what the lesson was about. She wasn't here two years ago, so she had no idea what they'd covered. She did know a little about poisons, though. "There's Golpalott's Third Law," she said, raising her hand. "It's really, REALLY confusing, but it teaches us that the antidote to a poison needs to be equal to MORE than what the antidotes to each equal ingredient are." She lowered her hand then looked up at the professor with a really confused expression. "I think I said that the right way..." Kate just knew that when dealing with poisons, you couldn't just look at each ingredients antidote. you had to find something that was bigger and better than all the antidotes combined. Confusing, it was. |
GOSH! Adi didn't like Culloden's mood one bit. Who was this man and what had he done with the regular Culloden?! Hmph. "Er... good question. Maybe it's because I've been a bad best friend lately and didn't make him any.'' After class, the Puff would be finding himself in the lab brewing that Potion. Mhmmm. ..................... More arrivals to the class. This was excellent because it kept Adi’s attention away from the sticky webs. He thought he was starting to develop a slight phobia for the things. Ever since he had walked/ danced/ shuffled into that lot in front of the Hufflepuff Barrels… bleh. He hated the feel of it on his skin. “Hiya, Caleb!’’ Yay for the Snake prefect sitting with him. “It’s going really good. What about you? All set for this final?’’ His friend seemed to be happy with that big smile on his face. Oh, heyyy, AJ! The boyfriend waved and sent her a smile at the exact moment Benny entered the class. Smiles for the bestie as he took up a seat next to him. “Someone wants to see you.’’ Adi let the little form that was Gus peek out a bit out of his robe pocket. Shhhh. Professors didn’t know he took his toad to classes. ................... The Hufflepuff stuffed Gus back into his pocket when Culloden got up. Over the years, his toad had become used to this so Gus was realllllly quiet. Thank Merlin or Adi would definitely be forced to stop bringing him to classes. And at this time around, he was keeping him close. Hand up, an answer was provided after some of his classmates had replied. "By using an antidote, Professor, such as the Antidote to Common Poisons.'' There was another one but someone else could name that, yes? |
