Potions (Latin potio, 'beverage') are magical mixtures commonly brewed in cauldrons and used to create a number of effects on the drinker. Potions range in effects and nature and in difficulty as well. Potions are brewed from ingredients with magical properties. Potions can be used as medicine, lethal poison, or give the drinker any effect from strength enhancement to immunity to flames. Potions are not necessarily used by drinking, as some can be applied by physical contact or create an effect simply by being created. Potions is a core class and subject taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In this class, students learn the correct way to brew potions. They follow specific recipes and use various magical ingredients to create the potions, starting with simple ones and moving to more advanced ones as they progress in knowledge.

The Potions Classroom is located in one of the large dungeons in Hogwarts Castle. It is large enough to allow at least twenty students to work. In one corner of the room stands a basin into which ice-cold water pours from a gargoyle's mouth, while in another is a student supply cupboard. There is also a blackboard on which the Potions master can write the class's instructions. Years four through seven are taught by Adalaide Whitethorne. The dungeon is typically known for being exceptionally cold, but Professor Whitethorne attempts to keep it a bit cozier than some of her predecessors through charms. Likewise, the typically glum classroom has been redecorated, with floating candles for light and to give the place a warmer feel to it, and various splashes of warm colors here and there through the use of tapestries and knick knacks.

spaceAs Adalaide watched the fourth year students enter, she had to wonder at her logic here. She'd always been shy, nervous speaking to others. What had possessed her to think she would do well in a teaching position. But, the older, wiser side of her knew that she was mostly worried about nothing. She hadn't actually had those problems in a long time. She hadn't been able to; working at Dogweed and Deathcap, it was either get over it and talk to the customers... or let Jason do it. Not a hard decision, all in all. She was just anxious. It was her first day (night) on the job, after all. Not only that... she had to test the waters. She knew there was some worry about exposure, but... she figured it'd be fine. It wasn't like there was a damn thing about her that screamed 'vampire,' at least, not since they'd explained away her odd hours by saying it was so she could be home with her kids during the day. As long as she didn't smile wide enough for anyone to see her teeth, she should be in the clear.
spaceThe blonde smoothed her skirt as she stood to start the lesson, hoping she'd make a good first impression. If the students liked her, rumors were much less likely to fly."Evening, everyone! I'm Professor Adalaide Whitethorne. I assume you all know one another well enough by now, so I won't bother with any sort of lengthy introductions or anything like that. If everyone could just stand up, give me your name and house, we'll be done with it."She hoped she could keep the names straight, but reasoned that it shouldn't be overly difficult if she paid close attention."I'd also like to request that, just for these first couple of weeks, if you could try to keep in the same seats, since it'll make it easier for me to associate names with faces."
spaceOnce the introductions were out of the way, she waved her wand, and a set of instructions appeared on the board."Today, we'll be starting off with the Wit-Sharpening Potion. Its purpose is to help the drinker think more clearly, and it can be used to counteract the affects of a confundus charm. It's a somewhat complex potion, so if you need any help, feel free to ask either myself or one of your classmates. When brewed correctly, the potion should be a dark orange color. The instructions are up for you on the board, supplies are in the cupboard."She watched the students prepare to begin brewing, and moved to sit at her desk. Hopefully, nothing exploded... that did tend to happen in Potions classes on occasion.

'Just how many Whitethornes are there in Wizarding society?' Selina wondered as she stepped into the Potions classroom, and started looking around the place. She quickly noted the touches the professor made to her classroom a rather more comfortable place, though she hoped the warmer confines wouldn't cause her students to become drowsy, given how late the classes were. Still and all, she was the third Potions teacher she'd had in four years at Hogwarts, and she hoped she'd at least stick around through her OWLs year when she'd need to have a teacher she was comfortable with should she have issues in her preparations.
By the time class started, Selina was seated at the front of the class, she had her notes ready, her fountain pen loaded, and class materials arranged to get to work immediately. While her teacher would tolerate no nonsense (judging by the rules posted), she wanted her to know the feeling was mutual by being ready no matter how freakin' late her class started, and one couldn't afford to be drowsy here (and she'd taken the precaution of having a short nap after dinner to ensure she was functional), unlike Astronomy class.
"Grey, Selina Grey, Ravenclaw House" she said quietly, bowing her head deferentially, when her turn came to stand and introduce herself. She copied the Wit-Sharpening Potion recipe into her notes in her usual neat handwriting, and when she was ready, Selina got to work on her potion. The dark-haired Ravenclaw arranged her materials before her, and began assembling the potion, loading her cauldron with the materials in the order listed on the blackboard.
She didn't allow herself to relax until she swung the cauldron over onto the low flame to simmer, and was pleased when she added the final ingredient and her potion turned a deep orange in colour.

Addie made her way into the potions class. It wasn't one of her best subjects but the only upside to the class was that Ivy would be here to suffer with her. Keeping her friend in mind the small brunette found herself a table for herself and her friends to sit at when they finally appeared.
It wasn't long before the professor began the normal introduce yourself speech. When it came to her turn she stood with a huff, "Adaline Davenport, Gryffindor." having finished she plopped back down in her seat. In her opinion it was just obnoxious having to do introductions to everyone at the start of the year.
Once everyone was finished class began and Addie began trying to follow the instructions.It looked like the potion was going to be a whole lotta mixing so she went ahead and began.
Lola was a bit surprised by the change in time of class but like many students (or at least Selina) had taken a nap after dinner and before this class so her mind was clearer for the class. Potions was not the type of class you wanted to be sleepy in. Though with all the fire she doubted she could fall asleep. Fire made her a bit nervous, she blamed it on being part wood-nymph. Fire and nymphs didn't mix well. She at first thought to take a seat next to Selina, but instead decided to take a seat farther away so she could focus on classwork and not anything else, such as the stress of her social circles. When it came to her turn to introduce herself Lola stood for a moment and said quickly, "Lola Ye, I'm a Ravenclaw." Returning to her seat she began her work on the potion at hand.
After having an early morning Grace did the smart thing and like Lola and Selina had a nap after dinner. She didn’t want to be falling asleep at her desk not when she had an early day tomorrow as well. Taking a seat next to Selina at the front, Grace honestly did enough potions. It ran in the family aside from the oldest sister Leonette. Looking around the room she couldn’t help but find it gave a nice vibe. When she heard Professor Whitethorne’s introduction, she recalled Timothy’s last name. His mother married into the family. With a smile she stood up for an introduction of her own. “Grace Mitchell, Ravenclaw.” She said before sitting back down.
Once everyone was done with their introductions, they got into the days lesson. The wit-sharpening potion, a potion that certainly would help people this evening with class, if they could stay awake long enough to make it. Looking to the front quill in hand and parchment in front of her, Grace took the notes down on the board about the potion. Being left to the potion, the fourth year Ravenclaw got the required ingredients.
Mixing ginger root until she saw a lime green color, Grace then went to mixing armadillo bile until it became blue. It occurred to her that this potion was all a matter of colors. So unless you were colorblind you were pretty good. She felt bad for someone who was though… Mixing in ground scarab beetles she watched till it turned red. Mixing in more armadillo bile she made sure it was yellow and not the dark green like was mentioned on the board. Then she mixed in more gingered roots till it turned lime green once again. ‘So far so good,’ Grace thought as she mixed in armadillo bile until she made it turn the color purple. Letting her potion simmer for ten minutes, Grace took the time to clean her area and leave onto the ginger root on her desk. When the ten minutes were up the Ravenclaw added the ginger root to her potion till it turned the required dark orange. Evidently it matched the colors around the room which was fitting.
Well you certainly know what you want. And I won't argue with such a mind as yours. Ravenclaw!

spaceAdalaide was feeling much more confident this week, which she supposed only made sense. She'd met all her students, at least recognized most of their faces, knew a couple of names. More to the point, she didn't think she'd aroused any suspicion thus far, which was good. Once everyone was seated, the blonde stood and circled around to stand in front of her desk, leaning back on it, a hand resting on the surface to support her. The other reached to her bun and pulled her wand out, giving it a flick to write the day's instructions on the board.
space"Welcome back, everyone. Today, you'll be learning about and brewing what is known as the Herbicide Potion. As the name suggests, it is a potion which damages and kills plants. It is primarily used to kill and be rid of dangerous flora that finds its way into a person's garden before the plant matures and becomes a threat. It works on plants of all levels of maturity, though the effectiveness hinges largely on the potency of the potion, the amount used, and the size of the plant in question. For instance, a single vial may be enough to kill an immature Devil's Snare you find just starting to sprout in your backyard, but if the plant is left to grow, it will require a larger volume to do more than make it ill."The Hufflepuff smirked faintly."I would highly suggest you not be caught with any amount of this potion anywhere near the greenhouses here at school, for reasons I'm sure I needn't specify,"she chirped, unable to resist needling Jason, even if he weren't present. Besides, it was probably a good thing to warn them, anyway."The potion itself is not too complex, and should be simple enough to complete. If you have any questions or trouble, feel free to ask for help, either from myself or a classmate. When the potion is complete, it should be a deep green color. You may collect your supplies from the cupboard and begin."She watched the students prepare to begin brewing, and moved to sit at her desk. Hopefully, nothing exploded... that did tend to happen in Potions classes on occasion.

As Potions class was late into the evening, it wasn't hard for Selina to make her way down into the bowels of the castle and get there in a timely fashion. A nice nap after dinner, and a bracing mug of coffee laced with chocolate was sufficient to ensure she was wide awake for a class where it was already too easy to make explosive mistakes when was fully awake, let alone drowsy. "Evening, Professor Whitethorne," she said to the professor politely when she arrived, and took her usual seat in class.
Selina took down notes in her usual neat handwriting, and found herself nodding along with the teacher, as this was a potion she was quite familiar with, as it was one Mother Grey prepared regularly to deal with some of the tougher weeds in her garden. Now it was her turn to attempt to make the potion herself, instead of watching her grandmother do it. When the time came, she went to the cupboard for her supplies, and got down to work.
As she started working on the potion, Selina found herself starting to hum the same tune Mother Grey would when she worked in the lab. Being in such a good mood, it wasn't long before she was adding the last ingredient to her concoction, stirring it the required four times, and then waving her wand over her cauldron. As she watched, the potion turned a deep emerauld colour, which was all she needed to tell her she'd done a reasonable job.

Vio was terrible at Potions. She had been since first year, and she very much doubted she improve at all now. Though she did suppose this potion suited her, as she was just as terrible at Herbology. Possibly even worse. When she finished brewing, her potion was less 'deep green' and more grayish eggshell blue that could maybe pass for pale green if you squinted. She turned it in with her best apologetic smile.

Grace was lucky that potion making ran in the family. She was starting to get to the schedule of late night potion brewing at least. So with at least a bit more alertness the Ravenclaw took a seat and gave a polite good even to Professor Whitethorne. As class began Grace took down some notes on the potion that could take down any lethal plants you didn't want in your garden. She got the reasoning behind leaving the potion out of the greenhouses what with Professor Hill on watch.
Being left to work, Grace got the required ingredients and got to it. Putting four lion fish spines in her mortar she crushed it into a rough powder. Adding two measures of standard ingredient to that she rushed it into the rough powder. Taking three measures of that and putting it into her cauldron, Grace then waved her wand over it. Setting her wand back down, she added two measures of Horklump juice to her cauldron before heating it. Setting the heat to medium, Grace waited for ten seconds before adding two blobs of Flobberworm mucus. Picking up her wand again, she finished by stirring clockwise four times and then giving a light wave.
Looking into the cauldron, Grace noticed the dark green color. Taking some and bottling it, she handed it in. Professor Whitethorne was right, the potion wasn't all that complicated. It definitely seemed like a good way to end the first day of the week in Grace's mind.
Well you certainly know what you want. And I won't argue with such a mind as yours. Ravenclaw!

spaceAdalaide watched as her new fourth years entered the classroom, seated behind the desk, what appeared to be a cherry lollipop in her mouth. On the desk, to lessen any suspicion concerning the 'treat', she had a jar of similar looking lollipops, of various flavors, with a small sign indicating that, should they be inclined, students were free to take one. It served a dual purpose; making her own seem less notable, and hopefully endearing herself to the students.
spaceThe blonde smoothed her skirt as she stood to start the lesson, hoping she'd make a good first impression. If the students liked her, rumors were much less likely to fly."Evening, everyone!

Aster kind of sucked at Potions, loathe as she was to admit. The class was fine and all when they were brewing, even when her potions turned out terribly, but her notes tended to be crap no matter how hard she tried to pay attention. This year they had the professor who taught the older classes, Professor Whitethorne. Who she assumed was related to Zeph in some way. There were a lot of Whitethornes running around. This one was petite and blonde, like Aster, so she already felt some sort of kinship. Also, she had free lollipops. Aster was cramming a lemon one in her mouth when her turn to introduce herself came about, and hastily removed it. "Aster Frey, Gryffindor." She stared blankly at the instructions on the board after that. At least they were short.

Zeph blinked as he entered the room, not because of the lateness of the hour, but because his cousin's wife was teaching the class. Wasn't she the vampire? Thinking back, he nodded to himself. Yeah, Chris was the vampire, Chalmes wasn't. Which meant that Ada was one too. He eyed the lollipops warily a bit as he walked up and grabbed one, decidedly not taking one of the red ones and instead grabbing a grape instead. He didn't want to discover she had accidentally mixed in some blood pops with the others. He took a seat, listening to Ada's introduction and instructions, and, feeling quite foolish, stood to introduce himself. It wasn't like she didn't know him already, which made this reintroduction feel even more awkward than it already was."Zephyros Whitethorne, and I'm in Hufflepuff. Umm, how's the kids?"He winced as he sat down, thinking that maybe asking about his cousins wasn't really appropriate, but he rarely got to see Chris or Ada regularly anyway, due to conflicting schedules.
When she directed their attention to the board, he suddenly sighed, thinking that the potion had to be in his textbook, right? It had to be easier for him to read than the board did.
