Jaren added the ginger root to the cauldron and stirred for two minutes, then extinguished the flames under it to let it cool. He scribbled his name on two vials and scrounged around for some glass stoppers.

Sangeetha who was doing two things at a time, that is to listen with rapt attention with all the doubts and the answers and another way chopping up her ingredients. Finally after finishing looking at the board an her manual work, she quickly pulled out her green ink, parchment and Phoenix Feathered quill. She then wrote in her best handwriting:

She then set down her quill. She took out a penci which she always kept for rough work and drew a rough diagram of Stinging Nettles.

Professor Airlia floated among the students, making sure everyone was handling the brewing of the potion okay. Some students were already finished but, she wanted to wait until everyone had a chance to hand in their potions before continuing on with the experimentation phase of the lesson.

Sangeetha then added the ingrdients, and slowly stirred it clockwise. Of course, either she had to do it one way or the other. She then added a dash of leech juice, stirring it regurlarly. After half an hour of stirring, she then added the chopped up daisy roots. Stirring it for two minutes, she then stopped the fire by lighting it out with her wand. Taking a pair of rubber gloves, she held the hot cauldron and set it down, waiting for it cool, which took half an hour. Careful not to spill a drop of her potion, she filled her vial, labelling her name and house. She then stood up and placed her vial on Professor Airlia's desk and sat back doe. She the waited for the cass to proceed.

Nadia added the right amount of the ginger root to the mix, approaching dangeroulsy to the end of it. Never before she had been dealing with a potion which would be this dangerous at touch. She carefully stirred clockwise for two minutes before removing the cauldron from the fire and into glass supporters, allowing the potion to cool. Nadia looked around to see many people strugling with the last step, the one she stopped upon too. Coming out with a plan, she took three vials and used her wand to transmogrify out of thin air three corks. She settled the vials just next to the cauldron and used "transmogrify" to create three funnels but made of glass as well. Using Wingardium Leviosa with the liquid to avoid direct touching of any type, Nadia got three glass vials half-filled only and corked for further precaution. True, if it was to fall, the cork would only shrink and the potion would come out all the same, but that way there was at least an obstacle to work before reaching skin or other, and giving time for doing something else. Also there was the risk of her concentration failing and a drop reaching her table - or! Her puñse to betray her and result in something worst. Actually there was so many ways something could come wrong. But she knew no other thing to do. Missing the idea of asking the profesor for instructions instead of struggling this badly, she finally had three vials ready and labelled one with her name, house and year, sighing of relief once it was over. Now there was the last step: sending the labelled one to the professor's desk - and being in her not-manual mood, Nadia again levitated the corked vial and the glass support to Professor Airlia's desk, figuring her magic was better than her hand pulse... the vial reached the front desk.

"Okay, now that just about everyone has finished brewing their potion, it is time to test them out. We will not be using the mice today. Instead, I'd like you to pick several objects that you may have brought with you to class. Try out a few different things and record your observations which will be handed in with your homework."

Sangeetha dug intside her bag in which if she coukd find anything that wasnt in any use for her. She then searched its pockets and found something. Pulling it out, it was a spoon. A spoon? Where did that come from? Sangeetha pondered. Forget it. she thought shaking her head. She held the spoon at good distance. She didnt want to spill anything on herself. She carefully scooped some of the Potion in her cauldron with her stirrir and dropped a few drops onthe spoon. She then slowly saw that it shrunk to the size of her index finger. Beaming, she waited for the Professor to comment.

We're not going to shrink mice? That's a nice change of pace...

Hey, Nadia, I have an idea. If you want to see if your potion works on humans, I'd be glad to drink yours. I trust your brewing capabilities... Your brilliant, not to mention last year you were a Slytherin Champion! But if you'd rather I didn't, I'll understand.

Jaren handed in one vial of his potion to the Professor, kept one for experimentation, and, since there was still some left over in his cauldron, filled a third vial and kept it. He decided to test the potion on something that wasn't exactly valuable to him, and dug in his pockets for a suitable object. Ah, a broken quill. He pulled it out and dripped a few drops of the potion on it, and watched as it shrunk until it was the size of a pine needle.

"Very nice," Professor Airlia commented as she floated by, observing the students.

Jenn had just finished her brewing of the potion as she quietly observed her perfectly looking potion. She grinned and took her vials out of her pocket. Quickly putting some in the first vial and handing it to Hubert then bottled another one and quietly bottled another one and placed it delicately in her pocket.

"Lets test this first shall we..." Jenn said to herself as she took a piece of parchment and dropped the potion on it. It shrank to the size of small patch. She grinned and stared in the direction of a certain...person. Professor Airlia seemed to be somewhere with a student and now was better then any other time. She played as if she had forgotten to give Hubert something and quickly took the vial in her pocket out.

"Oops!" Jenn squeeked as the vial dropped on Jarens hand and watched it shrink. "Dear my!" She said exasperated as she held her hand to her mouth to show she was in shock but more to prevent herself from going into a fit of giggles.

Jaren regarded his shrinking hand with the same detached interest he displayed with everything else. The potion dripped down his arm, so that was shrinking as well. He then looked at Jenn emotionlessly, as he always did, but his deep green eyes seemed to flash dangerously, like a predator which has been annoyed by a buzzard and is about to swat it dead with its tail.

Professor Airlia turned her attention just in time to see Jenn's hand come up to her mouth. She watched as Jaren's hand began to shrink as well as part of his arm. She indicated for Hubert to grab the antidote and floated over to the two before anything else happened. "I'm afraid, Miss Weasley, that will earn you a couple days of detention," she said as Hubert administered the potion.

Jenn turned her gaze to Professor Airlia and nodded as she smiled. "Yes Professor." Jenn then turned her gaze to Jaren and whispered as she narrowed her eyes. "Next time, don't help me." She turned around and went to gather her things at her desk. Smiling at her cousin she quietly left the classroom with a big grin. Detention well worth it in her opinion.

Nadia's teeths grinted furiously. She had been in conversation with Jess, refusing her offer seeing it was rather dangerous to have the potion ingested, when the scenario happened. She cursed under her breath. She should have been there, she knew how to handle with this person. If only she had been quicker she could have prevented it. Glaring at Jenn's retreating figure, Nadia 'hmp'-ed, deciding that was definitely not god enough for a punishment for the ever so-disrespectful Ravenclaw.. She and a certain Hufflepuff would pay... in their time. For now, Nadia had more pressing matters at hand to be dealt with.

Nadia decided to use three different items to work with:
One- A Knut (from pocket)
Two- A piece of old parchment writen all over
Three- One of the feathers in her hat (ooc- yes, there are feathers in her hat)

Nadia raised her hand, a new infuriating thought in her head, "Professor, I am guessing we don't use the potion in living beings because - dealing with so complex objects of which consist a living organism, you tamper with it puting in risk their lives.

"For example, in Jaren's case -" Nadia looked at his hand, heating up from rage -"all of the hand and arm has shrinked, internally as well as externally, and then blood cannot reach the limb with the veins being shrinked up, making the hand useless... and it being, I am guessing, painful."

Nadia finished while clunching her quill hard. Honestly, that girl didn't know what she was dealing with, so irresposible of her! Even if Jaren was expressionless, Nadia could tell he could be dealing with intense pain yet not show it. It only made her angrier. Trying to conceal that rage she added, taking a deep breath, "I hope I am wrong."

Professor Airlia sighed as the girl left her classroom and ensured that Jaren's hand was back to normal before looking over at Nadia to answer her question. "Actually, as the limb has also shrunken, it does not require as much blood flow and so, the smaller vessels are sufficient. However, the mice have been through though and since this potion does not require a living being, I would rather test our potion on inanimate objects," Professor Airlia responded. "In addition to the items you are trying to shrink, it might be good to test out stone or glass objects as controls so, that you can see that there is no effect on these types of things."

Nadia nodded, her expression blank. She still could see the flow of blood pressing into the little veins not being too nice for the health of the people under the potion effect. Shaking her head prompt to believe Professor Airlia's explanation better than her imagination, Nadia turned to her list and added a fourth item.

Four- muggle watch.

She knew she had one in her trunk somewhere. She will have to Accio it, she pondered windrawing her wand. If it worked, her assumptions, then the glass would remain the same while the rest would shrink and even be detroyed by the preassure the glass would make. She would use Reparo on it afterwards.

Setting the fourth objects in the table, Nadia uncorked the experimention vial and used Wingardium Leviosa to drop one small amount of levitating potion in each object, dropping her wand as immediately and incribbing down the notes -

Once- Knut shrinked to the size to a grain of sand. The amount seems to have been too much. I can not longer read what it said. However, (here she touched it before continueing) I administrated the dosis so that the coin seemed to retain its size and shape as well as consistence. Maybe even more - the atoms of the particulas of the coin seemed to have condenced into a stronger material, the same water gets smaller+harder when turned into ice. The atoms approaches tighter into the object. Either that or some of the atoms might disappear if we consider muggle-science theories...

Two- Commit a mistake. The parchment wasn't enough to absorb the whole of the potion. Some of it fell into the table (*here Nadia used her want to perform a vanishing spell on the remaining of the potion*) - managed to make little harm but the wood table, the same as the piece of parchment, got scrumbled by the centre. The words in the parchment had turn illegible: the ones in the centre so little it looks like not words any more - some of the lines have disappeared or got so thin it looks like it (ooc- have you tried shrinking an image with microsoft paint? Then you know what I am talking about). The ones at the side turned smaller and smaller as they approched the centre. The pressure from that spot created several wrinkles which practically shred the paper apart. On the other hand, the table has too big to make a real change but there was some wrinkling as well, to my view. Maybe even the whole wood desk had turned somewhat smaller. (Pity we don't have stone desks)
NOTE: Also, the paper has done wet and to stop it from dripping I had to stand it form one side, and the travelling drop of potion finished abstracting the paper into a snakelike figure in paper.

Three- Absorbtion of the potion in the feathers barbs and shaft was complete (used less potion too). However, I would dare said some of the parts got more "shrinked" than the others, deforming its shape a little. One side of the barbs barely changed, the others convered into the smallers from the centre and bigger from then on. Acually the feather as a whole turned into a snail shelf-like shape. It twist awkwardly, as if in pain if I am allowed the comparison...

*shakes head, continues* In all trueness it dried rather quickly, maybe because the shrinking potion acted upon itself in such small ammounts.

Fourth- Prediction fulfilled. The clock was blasted apart into pieces of metal, only the glass remaining untouched.

FINAL OBSERVATIONS: Whenereas the potion is balancedly aministrated the oobjects remains the most as if it was originally but in a "smaller-version of itself".
Different from other potions the ammount of it poured over the object does makes changes in the effects, probably making its size tampered more obviously (To Be Confirmed).
It distorts the shape of the object as a whole if administrated in one sector in particular.
Seeing not glass nor stone is used, we must consider the potion is not resistent to itself and it can be act reducing itself more and more until evaporating until its final stage...


Nadia paused here. Taking her sheet of parchment off, she raised one hand to call for the professor's attention and showed her Nadia's work, "I was wondeirng if you could take a look at my work, especially my last observation, I would like your clarification of that last point if possible."

whoa u write loads!

Professor Bree knocked slightly on the door and entered with a glass vial, "I am very sorry to interrupt you Airlia, but is there any way you can take about a 5 minutes break, I have something to er... discuss with you" she knew that Airlia would understand, she would have never interrupted but she had no idea where to leave 'it' in her office, and she hadn't time to sit around and wait... and leaving the potion somewhere in the open in an office, was way to risky... she waited nervously for Airlia...

"Oh yes, of course," Professor Airlia responded after spinning around at the sound of Professor Bree's question. "If you will excuse me class, I'll only be a moment. Hubert will be here in case of an emergency."

And, with that, she followed Professor Bree next door, to her office. "If you could just place it on my desk, Phoebe and I are planning on working on the next part tonight," she said. "Did everything go well?"

Jaren flexed the fingers of his restored hand, testing that he still had complete function of it, before turning back to his potion, behaving as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. He watched the professors from the corner of his eye.

Professor Airlia floats back into her room, looking like she's in something of a rush. "Okay, class, I'm going to have to cut this short. I'll post a sign on the empty dungeon room with the homework. You are all dismissed," with that, she floated right back out of the room, forgetting to wait for the students or have Hubert lock the door behind her.

Nadia nodded and stood, taking all of her things with her and exiting the class quite fastly. Once outside she had planed to use a more trustable seal for the potion, internally covered with glass (stone was too heavy) and keep what was left of it. She had not intentions to hide her curiosity and, bidding the retreatening ghost good day, Nadia walked out finally having a couple of things to finish.
