Potion Class #1

Wally had unloaded her things and had finally finished reviewing the ingredients list for the potion expected of them, one she knew she could brew in her sleep. She had a few of the items, but she liked to use the potionsmaster store so she could keep enough of her own personal stash.

She looked up, her eyes directing towards the store cupboard so she could see if there was a line. No point in getting up just to throw elbows to get to what she needed. But she could not see. Audra was in the way.

"Down in front!"

Audra would be the greatest potion master in the world. One drop of her potion could put an elephant in coma. Her potion would turn to the most beautiful shade of lilac and the - crystal clear. Her potion...

Yeah? Audra squeaked, jerked back in reality. Oh, hi. I suppose I was daydreaming. Do you want me to get your ingredients? Audra smiled warmly to ... umm... emm... the girl? Audra knew her name and knew that her name had something to do with Germany, but she was absolutely flabbergasted at what it was supposed to be.
She took her own ingredients and briefly turned her head to the girl Let's see... if I remember correctly, you're fourth year, which means the antidote. Hmmm.. Bezoar, unicorn hon and mistletoe berries? Anything else? Audra turned back to the cupboard, inwardly beaming with pride upon her knowledge, but then again, she had an odd feeling that she was forgetting something. But then again - she was quite sure it was all.

The bell rung and Sophia stood up and flicked her wand to the board as the ingredients appeared on the board before them. She gave them a soft warm smile as she stood up front of the class "Good morning class, I'm your new Potions Professor as you can see, I am not Professor d'Eath or Milo."said Sophia softly looking before the class.
"Now, you see what needs to be done. Advanced students, once you get to the third step, report to me. I'll give you half your marks for the first half of the potion and then give you your grade. Alright adavance students lets get started!"said Sophia. "First through five the same for you as well, so lets get started if you need any ingredients please come see me."said Sophia softly.

Wally paused. Audra seemed like one of those girls who was always completely unshaken, no matter how she was treated. She laughed off what would have surely irked the majority of students - indeed, everyone in front of wally had shot her a defensive glare - and had even offered to get her ingredients.

She would get out of the way, and spare Wally a trip? Bless her.

She rattled off the ingredients and Wally added, "Some brewed mandrake and honeywater too." She had her own recipe for the perfect anecdote. And brewed mandrake, though necessary to her recipe, was always nice to pocket.

The professor began to speak, softly, and Wally rolled her eyes. Give her a professor with gumption - please. She was sick and tired of timidity among those who had a right to some level of authority.

The professor began to speak. She was young, and very quiet. Every word uttered was spoken with a softness of voice Henri found despicable in a teacher. While she did not necessarily like to be taught, she did hate to see people she considered incapable and incompetent in a position that indicated intellectual superiority to herself. She found it completely unacceptable. Even if this teacher were brilliant at potions, she was much too inexperienced and much to inarticulate to garner any respect from Henri.

So, in a tinkling voice, Henri put her hand up in the air but, unlike Miss Dolohov, did not wait to be called on. "SPEAK UP! I DIDN'T HEAR YOU!" Her voice boomed, contrasting roughly against the soft tones of the teacher. Her hand dropped back to her desk and she smiled.

That was a lesson in volume, teach. You can have that for free.

Sophia gotten up from her desk and walked over towards the ravenclaw girl and smirked at her. "Henri Finch I'm guessing the new girl from America am I right? hm... brave for a girl so young."said Sophia in a deep voice that wasn't her own but her vampire voice. Her now red eyes staring into the young girls eyes. "Now if you please, turn to page 304 that's if you can hear me now."said Sophia smirking at the girl before walking off. "If she want a deep voice she got it!" her vampire side chimed in as her eyes slowly turned back to there normal chocolate brown eyes.

"In case anyone didn't hear me let me make this more clear,you see what needs to be done. Advanced students, once you get to the third step, report to me. I'll give you half your marks for the first half of the potion and then give you your grade. Alright adavance students lets get started!"said Sophia. "First through five the same for you as well, so lets get started if you need any ingredients please come see me."said Sophia in a booming voice.

Alex had to stop a fight between a Slytherin and a Gryffindor because of bad blood. It didn't matter to him, he wanted to help stop this feud by both houses. But his attempts would only go so far, knowing that he would be late for his Potion class. He had reached the room with his eyes on the floor.

" I'm sorry Professor, I had to deal with some younger students. It won't happen aga....."

When his eyes finally reach hers, he only felt his mouth grow silent. This was not good at all, it was Sophia.....one of the few people that he disliked. Expecting the same from her, knowing that they didn't leave off with good terms. He only walked to the back of the room, looked at the board. Then started to get to work on the potion by himself, standing up only to get the ingredients being very skilled in potions. Being trained by a potion Master during most of the winter had helped him improve.

He didn't look up towards Sophia, expecting her to read his mind this time. He hadn't really trained to block her power but at least resist more then the first time. If she tried to read him again, one thing was for sure. If Hitame comes around, or Sophia messes with him. All hell would break loss........and noone wants that, he would try to get a meeting with her later on....to speak to the new teacher.

Being in the close vicinity of Henrietta let Liesl get a full cop of those blood red eyes. Yikes.

Liesl didn't like vampires. They were gross and unnatural and as soon as she was Queen of the Death Eaters, she was going to have them all take a long, sunny holiday. But for now, she put down her hand.

"Three hundred and four," she muttered, flicking through her book to find the page.

The teacher approached and Henri drummed her fingers excitably against the desk, glad to see she had already shaken things up enough to get the teacher to rise her challenge. She looked up expectantly, a smile on her face. "Yes, that's me, teach. Singling me out, already? You must have high hopes for me secretly."

Something was wrong with this teacher though. Her eyes were red and her voice was slowly deepening. Henri's lip curled and she jerked her head back as though the teacher had bad breath or something.

Had to be a vampire.

'Professor' Granger spun off, looking impressed with herself, and Henri flicked her eyes upward. "Creep," she muttered under her breath, flicking through the pages of her book.

Andrei was still in the hallway when the bell rang. Of course he was late for another class, he thought with a sigh. His tardiness wasn't exactly a newly discovered trait. In fact, he had a long list of detentions he had received precisely because of this. Half of which he actually attended and the other half he had skipped.

Dragging his feet into the classroom, he could tell that people were staring at him. Well at least Andrei knew how to make an entrance. "Sorry I'm late. I was busy with my head of house", Andrei said as he approached the professor's desk. It was just another excuse but right now he would say anything to get out of trouble. He truly couldn't handle yet another scolding and a detention for tardiness. It was just such a tiring thing.

After looking around the classroom, he sat next to his sister as it was one of the few empty seats in the place. He put his potion's book out on the desk and opened on the assigned page. For the first time in quite a while, he was planning to do the work. He was good at potions and it was something that interested him.
