Kellen waited for the potion to boil as he remeasured his ingredients, making sure they were all to the correct specification. In fact, he was so busy with it that he almost allowed his potion to bubble over completely. "Oops!" he exclaimed as he quickly applied the dust to calm it.

Brittany looked over to where Daniel was brewing his potion. Catching his attention, she gave him a smirk and raised her eyebrows. A face telling him that she knew what she was doing, payback for the goody-good comment. Looking back to her potion she realized it had began to bubble and she sprinkled the dust in quickly to calm it. Glancing back up at the board to check her steps, she mixed in the pomegrante juice and then the salamandor blood. The potion reflected a bright pink colour as she added those ingredients. Satisfied with it, she began to stir the concotion in a clockwise motion keeping an eye on the clock.

Rael continued to stir her potion, waiting for it to bubble. When the bubbles started she sprinkled in the dust. Quickly measuring out the pomegranate juice and salamander blood, she added it in, and watched as the potion turned bright pink. Rael fixed her eyes back to the board to read the rest of the instructions once more. She pulled back her sleeve to keep an eye on her watch as she stirred the potion clockwise.
After the time was up, she extinguished the fire and mixed her potion for another minute.

Too bad that mistake hadn't been corrected before Daneil groggily added the same ingrediant twice. Upon stirring the potion as the instructions demanded, Daniel looked up at the teacher and then back down horrified. The potion had turned into a latex-looking material in such a way that one might think it was meant to be that way. He cursed under his breath, because this potion had been one that he had been looking most forward to. Most would have cleaned up with a simple wave of the wand and started again. Yet Daniel neither was any good at charms, nor did he want to start over, that was way too much work. Stubbornly, he frowned and pushed his cauldron away. Going as a last resort, he turned to Brittany and said unenthusicastically, "Mind a partner?"

Lainee waved her hand and Reina could speak. She glanced around her classroom making sure not to miss anything or anyone especially if they were goofing around. "Reina hurry up and finish your potion.... Daniel don't forget that you will have to drain your potion and clean your cauldron before you leave...Very good Brittany, you are doing very well...Nicely done Kellen." Lainee kept up the chatter and when she was sure all her students were done except for one she clapped her hands to get their attention.
"Now who wants to try it out." Lainee pointed to a huge rock in the corner of her clasrroom. She was sure everyone missed it. "It's a horrible potion and the taste is just as bad, but if you taste the potion AND it works I'll give your house 50 points. 25 for tasting and 25 for it actually working. Who's first?"

The only question that sprang to Daniel's mind was, 'What if the person in question was strong enough to lift that rock?' Since he was both too far from the boulder, he had no idea of the size, and if he was close enough, he probably would have been able to conclude that noone would be able to lift the stone. Turning his head steadily he ignored the rest of the class, for he had his chance, and now he was done. Bloody teacher's mistakes...

Allegra raised her hand to give it a try. So what if it was nasty tasting... she'd gargle afterwards.
But she also had a question. "What if someone tries someone else's potion?" she asked. Besides Daniel, there were a couple more cauldrons that didn't look quite right. It would be a shame to deny them the opportuntiy to participate.

Kellen glanced at the boulder, knowing no one in the class would be able to move it without the help of a stregnth potion. Speaking of potions, his had come out quite well, he thought. Sure, it smelled kind of rank, but he was willing to try it in front of the class, after Allegra had had her go.

Brittany quickly finished up the rest of the steps that she had to do. Then, as Daniel approached her she couldn't help but smirk. She liked the fact that he had to depend on her for the grade. Looking up to the teacher she listened as she made a point proposal. She wanted points but not that desperately to try a potion. Turning to Allegra when she asked her question she thought it very weird for her to ask that. But she figured that Allegra would simply pick a potion from her own house possibly. Or maybe not, Allegra was very different from other people.

"Nope you try your own. If your potion doesn't work you didn't do ... well. " Lainee smiled at the Ravenclaw girl. "Why, is your potion not correct? Did you want to go first?" Lainee wasn't trying to bait the girl she was just curious where the origin of the question came from.

'We'll see, won't we?" Allegra answered with a small shrug as she stood up to go first. She was confident that her potion had been brewed right, but one never knew for sure until it was tried. "Question first... there have to be restrictions on how strong one gets, right? I mean, you can't brew a potion that will allow you to pick up... say, the whole castle, right?"

Lainee eyes went wide with excitement. She nodded her head. "Yes, an intelligent question 10 points to your house. There are. It depends on a lot of factors, how much can your body take, how much pain can your body take, how much can your muscle take and so on and so forth. Also if you brew something that would make you uhhh let's say too strong and you happen to live through the pain and your body changing then you will lose your strenght pretty quickly and before long you are helpless on the floor. Now let's say you truly overdid yourself then even your internal organs can stop working for you, they'll just get tired and stop. Killing yourself. Ever heard that muggle expression Kill yourself and overw...no that's not it. You can work over and die...nope. How'd it go?"
Lainee tried to think of it, but she couldn't get it quite right. She looked around the class and saw a few students who suddenly looked not too sure about the potion they just created. "Oh don't worry about this spell. I modified the ingredients so that you couldn't make the spell too strong. The true spell is in the book. This is one that shouldn't make you overly strong or exhaust your body, or cause you pain if you take it. It should only last 1 to 2 minutes most."

Allegra was a little confused by the professor's tangent as she tried to think of the saying the woman was speaking of. What ever it was, she had no idea either.
"So, just a cup, right?" Allegra asked nervously, looking at her potion. She was confident of her potion brewing, but after the Professor's rambling, she was a little wary.

Kellen decided that this moment would be a good one to be a little obnoxious. "Allegra, Allegra, she's our man!" he cheered loudly enough that she'd hear, but not many others. "If she can't do it, no one can! Gooooo Allegra!" He shot her a goofy grin.

"Man?" Allegra asked incredulously, raising an eyebrow at Kellen. "I think not..." Of course, who really knew the side effects of the potion she was about to take. For all she knew it would make her bulk up like Governor Schwartzeneger.
