First years, Class two.

[starangel94]

Abigail gulped down her last sip of juce then headed down to class. No need to go too fast, but she did hurry a little. She was yet to be late, and didn't want to change that record. She stepped into class carrying her book and her potions kit. She put them on her desk and took a seat. After scribbling down the ingredients to forgetfulness potion, she looked arond and wondered if anyone would talk to her.

[jebusjm]

House wandered in, again, he wasn't late for once. He sat down at the back of the class thinking of how much he hated this subject. What he'd do to take the lesson off.

[norin]

Gerold entered the classroom in a hurry, he had a feeling he was late for yet another class, and was pleasently surprised to find that he wasn't. Takning a seat in an unoccupied chair he pulled out a pad of paper and wrote the words the professor had placed on the board.

Forgetfulness Potion

Jobberknoll claws
ginger
horned toad liver
peppermint

Thinking to himself that this could possibly be a useful potion in his later life he scanned the classroom for anyone else he knew. Seeing no one he settled down and waited for the professor to begin.

[Professor Carina Erikson]

Sighing as her watch chimed that it was time to begin the class, Carina sighed happily. Seemed that her classes were going on a steady rate of being much better than last term. Well, might as well get started. Tapping her wand against the board.

Add two cups of water and bring to a boil.
Add three Jobberknoll claws.
Stir six times clockwise.
Add two whole ginger roots.
Allow potion to boil for three minutes.
Add one sliced horned toad liver.
Add three springs of peppermint.
Remove from fire and allow to cool.
Bottle and bring to my desk.

Walking around her desk, Carina leaned against it and addressed the class. "Today's potion is a Forgetfulness potion. For those that don't know, this potion is suppose to help with ones memory. When I was in school, many students that knew how to brew the potion would take it right before end of term exams. Now, if all goes well with this class, I'll allow each of you to take a vial with you when you leave."

Gerold wrote down the instructions for the potion and, wondering if he was allowed to ask a question, raised his hand. "Professor, why is it called a forgetfulness potion if it helps you remember?" He asked, "it would make more sense to me if it was called a memory potion." He hoped he had not spoken out of turn,

[mattias]

The class had officially began, as Professor Erikson had tapped the board, allowing the instructions to appear. The Forgetfulness Potion - Quite interesting. He had heard, and was sure Mattias had learnt it in his previous years here. The years that felt, like they had never happened. Smiling softly, he scribbled the notes onto his page, waiting for instructions for them to start quite yet.

[troyzoton]

Troy was listening to the teacher and scribbled down the instructions onto a piece of parchment.

Add two cups of water and bring to a boil.
Add three Jobberknoll claws.
Stir six times clockwise.
Add two whole ginger roots.
Allow potion to boil for three minutes.
Add one sliced horned toad liver.
Add three springs of peppermint.
Remove from fire and allow to cool.
Bottle and bring to my desk.

[starangel94]

Abigail scribbled down the directions right under the ingredients. She probably wasn't going to read them after today anyway, so why bother making them neat? She hoped they were going to start soon.

[ariellaci]

Aly scribbled down all the steps to making the Forgetfullness Potion on her parchment. It looked like this.

Add two cups of water and bring to a boil.
Add three Jobberknoll claws.
Stir six times clockwise.
Add two whole ginger roots.
Allow potion to boil for three minutes.
Add one sliced horned toad liver.
Add three springs of peppermint.
Remove from fire and allow to cool.
Bottle and bring to my desk.

Aly began setting up her cauldron and got everything ready that she had with her. Of course some of the ingrediants she'd need to borrow from the professor but that wasn't an issue at the moment.

Aly wondered when they could begin brewing.

[amystika791989]

Phoenix started to write down the instructions in her notebook. She made them clear so she could look through them later and so she could make sure that she did everything right this time.

Add two cups of water and bring to a boil.
Add three Jobberknoll claws.
Stir six times clockwise.
Add two whole ginger roots.
Allow potion to boil for three minutes.
Add one sliced horned toad liver.
Add three springs of peppermint.
Remove from fire and allow to cool.

Phoenix got all of the ingredients that she needed and brought the water to a boil. She then added three jabberknoll claws like she was suposed to and stirred clockwise six times like the directions said. Phoenix then added two whole ginger roots after taking a deep wiff of the ginger. It was one of her favorite scents, fresh ginger. She started the stopwatch and waited for three minutes.

[Brayden Christiansen]

Add two cups of water and bring to a boil.
Add three Jobberknoll claws.
Stir six times clockwise.
Add two whole ginger roots.
Allow potion to boil for three minutes.
Add one sliced horned toad liver.
Add three springs of peppermint.
Remove from fire and allow to cool.
Bottle and bring to my desk.

Brayden got out his cauldron and added two cups of water to it. He started the burner and it began to heat up. Once it started to boil, he added three Jobberknoll claws and stirred six times, clockwise. He then added two whole ginger roots. He started his muggle stopwatch and waited for the three minutes to be up.

[amystika791989]

The stopwatch hit three minutes and Phoenix added the horned toad liver and three sprigs of pepermint. Phoenix loved the smell of pepermint too. She knew it was good for a stomach ach and for other stomach problems. She learned that from her brother, Bazie. Once that was done she took it off the fire so it could cool for a moment. While she waited for it to cool, she made a label with her name, date and potion name. Once the potion cooled, she put it in a bottle and put the label on it. Phoenix hoped that this one was better then the last potion. She made sure to read the directions more then once before doing the potion and this time she didnt have to guess about time like she did with the last one. Phoenix sat the potion on the professors desk, hoping for at least a middle grade.

[troyzoton]

Troy began on his potion, he had his equipment and ingredients set out on the desk in a neat fashion.
He added two cups of water to his pot and left it to come to the boil.
Once the water had come to the boil Troy threw in three Jobberknoll claws and stirred six times clockwise as instructed before adding two whole ginger roots to the mix.
Troy waited patiently as the potion boiled for three minutes.
When the three minutes were up Troy added one sliced horned toad liver and then three springs of peppermint.
Troy removed the potion from the fire and allowed it too cool.
Once the potion had cooled Troy took the bottle to the teachers desk and sat it there.

He realised not too many students had finished and he was pleased with his job as he thought he made a good potion.

[mattias]

Seeing as everyone else had begun, Mattias assumed he had to do so himself. Shrugging, the Ravenclaw set up his equipment and gathered his ingrediants in order for him to complete this fine potion. As he scanned the notes, he returned to Instruction # 01. Taking two cups of water, he added it to his Cauldron, allowing it to come to boil. Waiting, he seperated the rest of his things, picking up the Three Jobberskoll Claws. Seeing as it had come to boil already, he made sure to add it, stirring the mixture six times clockwise. Since that was completed, he moved on to Instruction # 03, adding two whole ginger roots.

What next? Mattias found himself alot of the time looking upon the instructions for this potion, as he could not remember how it came in order. But others seemed to be doing the same. He had been waiting quite patiently for three minutes while the Potion Boiled, and at this time had the sliced horned toad liver in his hand, which was added once three minutes were up. The three sprigs of peppermint were soon after.

It seemed he had done, so removed the Cauldron from the Fire, and allowed it too cool. This took roughly five minutes, so once the time was up, he bottled his potion, setting it upon Professor Erikson's Desk, before returning to his own, awaiting dismissal.

[espoir]

Early Espoir was on the drag for potions. Obvious as she scuttled into the classroom, silvery eyes seeing that many students had already begun their potions making, leaving her perhaps one of the last to begin. But, a hard working student, Early began to make the potion as soon as she had set down her possessions. Eager to start and make – what was it called -?

And so the Mihael began, setting down the outer layer of her robes before rolling up the sleeves of the grey sweater she wore. Then she began, adding two cups of water before waiting for the water to begin to boil. It did not take long and soon the girl moved on to instruction two. Jobberknoll claws? Hmmm. Early did not approve of using animals in potions, but surely claws were alright? A quick trip to the potions storage and soon three claws were added to the brew accompanied six clockwise stirs and two whole ginger roots.

Now, the next ingredient really troubled her. For Early looked down at her ‘horned toad liver’ with an obvious frown on her face. Three minutes to boil and plenty amount of time to ponder her dilemma. On one hand, her mind told her that it was mandatory for the potion and that she needed a good one to pass the grade. But her heart implored that the toad came from a living creature, once breathing and alive.

And that’s the fact that Early detested. The fact that she was getting in on the death of a living creature. She found it distasteful.

Three minutes up. Her choice? Early skipped that instruction with a beaming smile adding three springs of peppermint optimistically and grinning as she did so, the smell wafting to her slightly. Remove from the fire and so began the wait of coolness. And soon the potion was placed [awkwardly] in a vial. Others looked like liquid. Hers? A brown sludge. Perhaps the liver really would have made the difference.

Oh well. At least she still showed enthusiasm [even if her potion did look like slop].

[ariellaci]

Aly was nearly complete with her potion by now seeing as that everyone had begun. Aly had worked fast at the potion and was only 2 steps away from completing it. She still had to wait for it to cool and then put it in a vial and bring it up to the professor's desk. Within minutes she would be finished.

[kerajonson]

Kera looked at the boad, and wrote down the instructions for making the forgetfulness potion right under her list of ingredients, which she had written earlier.

Add two cups of water and bring to a boil.
Add three Jobberknoll claws.
Stir six times clockwise.
Add two whole ginger roots.
Allow potion to boil for three minutes.
Add one sliced horned toad liver.
Add three springs of peppermint.
Remove from fire and allow to cool.
Bottle and bring to my desk.

When she was done writing everything thing down, she begaon to work on her potion.

[starangel94]

Abigail put on her gloves, then dumped the water in and waited for it to boil. She looked around, after all, "a watched pot never boils".
When it started to boil, she picked up the Jobberknoll claws and dropped them in as fast as possable. Gross! she thought.
Abigail sturred the potion six times clockwise. Easy. She dropped in the ginger roots and then realized she had forgotten her stopwatch. She was just going to have to count. 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi...
Now came the big problem: horned toad liver. There was no way she was going to pick that up, the Jobberknoll claws were bad enough! She cut it and tried to figure out how to put it in the potion without touching it. Finally, she managed to coax it into her measureing cup with her knife. The rest was easy. She added in the peppermint and took it off the fire and waited for it to cool.
Abigail decided potions wasn't too hard, in fact, it reminded her of cooking. She smiled and hoped the potion would cool soon.

Second class on a Tuesday morning, Potions.
Violettas favourite class.

Smiling to herself she sat in the front of the class as usual. Her eyes peering through her glasses, watching the ingredients & instructions.First like always she got all the ingredients she needed & placed them on her desk; taking out her cauldron she looked up at the instructions sighed happily and started adding two cups of water into the cauldron & waited for it to boil. A few moments later the water started to bubble & boil & so Violetta started adding three Jobberknoll claws into the water mixture wrinkling her nose a bit at the sight of the claws [which to add, smelled] Picking up her spoon she began to stir clockwise, her eyes trasfixed into the liquid, listening to it sizzle gently.

After a few minutes she had nearly finished making the potion, which would make the drinker forget something. Oh, how usefull it would be, for all those with traumas in their lives or worse Smiling with satisfaction with the pale colour of her Potion, she waited for the Professor to speak again.

[selkie]

The Gryffindor hurried to the dungeons where the potions room was, feeling quiet nervous at being so late. She hadn't meant to over-sleep, but there it was, and she must face any consequences that may arise.

Once at the door to the classroom, she slipped inside as stealthily as a first year could hope to be, hurrying to the nearest desk. She fumbled for her supplies, laying them out on the counter before her. Sadie scratched down the ingredients and directions for this potion, then leaned over her cauldron to begin.

Grasping her wand, she cast "Scourgify", a new spell that she had learned from Charms class in order to keep from cross-contamination of her potions. She then set about following directions.

Once half-way through, in her hurry, she over nearly over-boiled the potion, though thankfully her ingredients were ready to be added in order to keep from this mistake and she quickly removed the cauldron from heat. During the few minutes which her potion took to cool, Sadie caught her breath and sat back, glad that she at least came in time to perform the assigned potion. It wouldn't do to miss another class as she had missed the first Transfiguration lesson.
