Potions Lesson 2: Years (6-7)

December came with a very strong winds; the dungeons was colder than usual and he himself was affected by it. Having a warmer coat around himself he knew that by this time the lake would have begun to freeze over at the top.

Mycroft figured that on a winter day why not bring some kind of joy within the classroom. He knew the potion he had in mind was challenging, but it would bring a complexity and unimaginable curiosity to see exactly how well they could try it out.

With a neat writing he wrote clearly on the board Polyjuice Potion and sat down waiting for students to arrive. He knew that a winter day like this many would have cancelled class, but he wasn't the type of man to that.

Diem walked into the Potions classroom and saw she was the only one there so far besides her Professor. Diem took her own seat and waited for the Professor to begin his class or for more students to arrive so there was more then just her sitting there. When she looked to the board and saw how she'd know how to make the Polyjuice potion, she had a feeling on how to make it but not really.

Michelle walked into the classroom and saw that she was second student there. That haven't happened much lately. She greeted them both and took then seat in her usual table. Now she needed to wait others to arrive in classroom. She looked at board and saw what potion they will make. She knew about it but she really wasn't sure how to make it.

Cold, Thana felt nothing but cold and numb. Christmas had been and passed, she hadn't even noticed it. All she felt now was numbness and coldness. She didn't think right, never ate anymore and was more a zombie than a person.

Quietly she made her way down to the Potions classroom, knowing he wouldn't be there. Thana sat down, not noticing anything around her and not even acknowledging the Professor. Her mind was elsewhere, and she didn't care. She had cried herself to sleep every night, since it happened. But no matter how many showers, baths or how many times she scrubbed herself she still felt dirty. She read the words on the board in front of her, her mind elsewhere and not actually seeing what was written on the board.

If Mycroft was honest with himself, he was a bit surprised at the small number of people that actually attended the class. Still, he figured that it was better to work with the smaller number when it came to a complicated potion that would roll over into their last lesson. Clearing his throat, he walked towards the front of the class and figured he could start before they began to blab to one another as they usually did.

"Good afternoon students, as you can see based on the board, we will begin to study the important of the Polyjuice potion and more importantly begin the first part of the potion. You have to understand that this potion will be a project of yours, the more perfected the potion is the stronger it will last. Now, let's start off with a simple questions, someone tell me what the potion exactly does, it's uniqueness, and someone else tell me an ingredient."

OOC: This potion will be a complicated one, and if I see your character goes through the motions with no problem, you will not get the full points. Let's be realistic here please?

Diem was glad to know that Polyjuice Potion was going to be brewed that day, she had read some about the potion but has never actually made it before, so it should be fun to see how she does with the potion. When the Professor began asking three questions and asked for each girl to answer at least one, Diem raised her hand to answer. "Polyjuice potion is a potion that one brews to change their appearance to someone else" she answered and lowered her hand.

"Very good. Five points. Now today we will start the project, since it's in two parts, this lesson will go over our usual time and carry on. If you have any extra curricular activities plan them around the lesson times I have planned. For the first part I have taken the time to collect all your ingredients and prepare them. There are no tricks within this part, everything is exactly what it says. The potion is already hazardous enough that I'd like to avoid having to trick any of you into killing yourselves."

Removing the cover he began to turn them so the titles were clear. Each one was in perfect ordered, measured and making sure no mistakes could be done for. He knew that it was hazard to even suggest it, but he trusted this group to at least attempt it.

"Our potioneering will take place tonight. Make sure to bring a copper cauldron, it will shorten your stay in the classroom. Throughout the week, we will come back at 10pm to work on it. Every Thursday, we will add the four parts.Tonight we will do part one step one, since it's a full moon. And next week part one step two, you get the idea. Whoever you wish to turn into can either be in this classroom, or must have consent to do this potion. Your transformation at the end of the month will be in front of me. Any questions?"

OOC: I will make individual topics for each and every one of you with the schedule. Note that I will put all the steps in the topic. You will be in the same classroom, but there will be no talking, and it will be your characters, successes, struggles, etc. You will need to make at least three posts. One for each week. Since this class lesson will end soon, keep in mind that it will carry over to the final lesson. That is when, if you've posted in your topics, you will pass this class. Seventh years, it's important to note that you HAVE to have three posts to pass the year in potions and get any points. If you will be away please PM me. If you have any questions feel free to do the same.
