Lesson Three - Second Years

Evangeline entered her classroom and crossed the room to her desk in total silence. She was thinking about the winter break they'd just had. The Irvine twins had taken her over to Ireland and shown her what snow was with something called a 'snowball fight'. It had been wet, it had been cold but, somehow, it had made her want to smile too.

"Hello professor,"Melody said before sitting down.The professor looked more cheerful than usual.

Evangeline blinked at the student in front of her and she managed to give a rather small and shakey smile, the aftermath of playing with the twins was still affecting her and making her want more interaction with these interesting creatures called humans...

Walking to the board, she wrote down the recipe for the potion that they were to brew today and then turned to the class, merely waiting until they were all silent, her gaze falling on those who weren't until they were scared into hushing.

"Today we are looking at an antidote for common poisons. This is an extremely useful potion and one that you should try to memorise the recipie and ingredients for, As usual they are all set out on my desk, you may begin."

Melody was surprised by the potion because there wasn't usually any wand wazing in potions class but she followed the instructions and made the potion anyway.She hoped that she would remember this potion if she ever got poisoned but she probably would be dead before finishing making it if that ever happened.
