Potions (3rd and 4th years)

[Callisto LeFaye]

Callisto lit the torches in the dungeon classroom and sat behind her desk, ready to greet the students as they entered. She was a little nervous, but knew she would manage just fine.

[Keiko Lee]

Keiko was the first to arive in potions today, and thought it would be a good time to introduce herself to the new teacher. "Hello Professor. I'm Keiko. I'm so excited for this class, I'm not exactly skilled or anything at potions, but I think it's quite fun and I try really hard. In fact, it's sort of my worst subject, but that's not really saying much because I'm a really good student. Top in my year, last year. Anyway I just wanted to say hi, and I did so I guess I'll go sit down." She smiled and sat in the first row, directly in the center aisle. It was very important for her to have a good seat in every class, which was part of the reason that she tried to always get to class early.

[Griffin Diricawl Porlock]

As Griffin was walking down the hall, he began to find himself near the Dungeons. When he saw the Dungeon opening, he immediately found stairs in which to walk downwards. He couldn't help smile, coming closer to his Potions Class. He always loved Potions, since it was so easy. He had trouble with quite a few, though. He would always get angry, and throw something at the wall, and say he didn't mean to. That was probably the only time Griffin had lost his anger during a Class.

There was an old, mahogany door, reading POTIONS carved into it. Griffin then pushed the door open, and saw his new teacher, and a student. She was nerd-like, and had glasses on. Griffin put his nose in the air, and walked to a desk, and not sitting down.

" I believe this is Potions Class?" He had asked, awaiting a reply.

[Callisto LeFaye]

Callisto simply watched the Ravenclaw girl as she rabbited on and on about herself. Callisto nodded and when the girl finally finished talking Callisto said "yes, thank you." Just as Keiko sat another student entered. "You are correct. Take a seat and we'll begin." Callisto rose from her chair and walked around her desk. "I am Professor LeFaye. Do not ask me about your previous teacher, Professor Slughorn, I do not care to chat with you. You are here to continue your training in the art of potion-making. Can anyone tell me what you last studied?"

[Keiko Lee]

Kieko raised her hand excitedly. "We studied the Swelling Solution and the Hair-Raising Potion, ma'am." This was the shortest answer Kieko had ever giv en, but there wasn't much else to say. She could, of course, go into detail on how they made the potions and their effects, and she could talk about the boy who made his foot swell so badly that when he tried to walk to the hospital wing the paintings on the wall shook. She could talk about these things, but knew that if talked to much in class she could lose points and so she stayed quiet.

[Callisto LeFaye]

"Excellent. Thank you Keiko, five points to Ravenclaw." She folded her arms across her chest. "Having succesffully created a Swelling Potion last term, I would think you should all be in need of a Shrinking Solution. Can anyone tell me the main ingredients in the Shrinking Solution?"

[Aasera Illusion]

Aasera was running late, she had gotten lost in the forest last night and it took her forever to get back then she woke-up late then a Slytherin tripped her and she had to pick her books up of course she didnn't forget to punch the guys nose. "Sorry Professor, I was lost then tripped and I'm now here." She said while placing her seat in the middle row, far left, the class had few people in it, hm...

[Keiko Lee]

Keiko started to raise her hand when Aasera came into the room. She looked back and waved hi, then turned back around. She raised her hand once more. "Daisy roots, shrivelfig, caterpillar, rat spleen, and leech juice, Professor."

[Griffin Diricawl Porlock]

Griffin saw that only three, not including the teacher, people were in the classroom so far. This school wasn't very populated, so this should be all the 3rd and 4th years. He sighed, and saw the "smart, know-it-all" girl. He then sighed again. Look who would be second in his class again.

Griffin had absolutely no idea what the potion even was, much less the ingredients. He took his novel out of his book, 100 Ways to Torture the People Who Could Possibly be a Threat to You, and started reading it again. It was not a "how-to" book, so to speak, but it was a fiction book. It actually did have great ways to torture your the people who could possibly be a threat to you. He decided to wait until she calls the class to attention.
