Lesson Four - Third Years

by **Raven 'The Sweeney' Drake** Mon May 28, 2012 9:58 pm

Raven had found herself flicking between emotions more and more the past few weeks, after all she had killed her son not a few days ago and it was something that she felt no remorse for whatsoever, it was something that she hoped that she was going to be able to control.

Sitting on the cieling, she looked down at the desks, her legs crossed and her hair was hanging down wondering if any of the students would wonder where she was, she hoped that the lesson would end soon, she needed to see Konig after all.

The lesson point was on the board;

Revive Potion

by **Dmitra Diamante** Mon May 28, 2012 11:28 pm

Dmitra approached the Potions classroom cautiously, this would be her first Potions class and she had heard quite a lot of........interesting stories about her Potions Instructor. She carefully knocked on the door twice, then slipped inside the classroom.

The teacher was sitting behind the desk, looking every bit of a moody and temperamental woman. Dmitra wanted her teacher to approve her, tolerate her or just be indifferent towards her, she needed her teacher's cooperation to get anywhere with her ambitions. Hence Dmitra wished her in a calm, confident voice, yet polite at the same time, "Good morning Professor. Im Dmitra Diamante, the new student. May I take a seat?"

Noah was not excited to go to potions. He had nothing against the subject, but he just wished he was doing something else, like flying for instance, it was basically the only thing he was good at.

Entering the classroom he saw that Dmitra had once again made it to the class before him. Seeing that she was talking to the professor he thought he should probably go and introduce himself.

"I'm Noah, the other newbie" he said, running his fingers through his hair as he felt a bit awkward, not that he would admit it.

The first thing Aquila saw whens he walked in was Muhe's. She grimaced and took a seat in the middle of the classroom per usual. She looked at The Sweeney and almost cringed, the woman was kind of creepy. A pity that she was the one Aquila had to take an apprenticeship with, but she did love potions.

Raven jumped down from the ceiling and she frowned at the two new students it was so obvious that they were new because they had no idea she hated interacting with students, especially annoying new ones that she didn't know.

Landing on her feet she ran her hand through her hair and sat down on the desk with her legs extended out in front of her.

"I don't do interaction between students, I neither know nor care who you are or if you wish to sit down or not." Raven said in a sharp voice "Revive potion, someone tell me an ingredient."

(OOC: Just give me some random ingredients, there's no canon recipe! Very Happy

Dmitra remained unaffected by the jab, considering the woman's reputation, she had been expecting it.

So she simply took her seat, then spoke in a calm, clear voice, "One sprig of mintleaf, two teaspoons of porcupine quills, powdered moonstone and the crushed skin of a sophomore bean." She could give more details, but she thought the professor would appreciate to the point, precise answers.

Raven nodded her head when the child from Muhe spoke, it sounded as if she was going to be one of the students that was very good at potions and she would like to see what she was able to produce when she was allowed to.

"Correct, 15 points to Muhe for so many correct answers. The method will appear on the board and the quantities of ingredients, you are to then begin brewing immediately."

'Ingredients;

Mintleaf (2)
Porcupine Quills (4)
Powdered Moonstone (1 Cup)
Sophmore Beans (3)
Base Potions

Method;

1. Add the base potion to a low heated cauldron, wait until the potion begins to lightly simmer.
2. Add two porcupine quills to the mix, and then wait for a minute before adding half of the cup of moonstone powder.
3. As soon as the potion turns yellow, you must add the next two porcupine quills and stir counter clockwise five times.
4. Then add the sophmore beans one at a time with two minute intervals.
5. Finally add the mint leaf and leave to brew for a remaining ten minutes before taking off the heat.'

A small smile emerged on Dmitra's face at the receival of points, her house needed it. Then she immediately got to work, transferring the base potion to the cauldron and heating it slightly. After sometime, she added the two porcupine quills, almost adding a third one out of absentmindedness, but saved herself just in time. A minute later, she added the moonstone and waited.

The potion was becoming a pale yellow; Dmitra smiled triumphantly. Then she added to the mixture the next two porcupine quills and then.......Dmitra peered at the board and frowned slightly. Counterclock-wise five times? She flipped open her book to see the same, identical instructions written there. But she had always done it before by adding a clockwise rotation after the third time.......oh to hell with it. Dmitra stirred thrice, then added a stir in the opposite direction, and the colour immediately deepened. Dmitra smiled again in victory.
