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.

spaceAdalaide was slightly less nervous for this lesson than she had been Monday night, if only because she reasoned that her first lesson hadn't gone horribly. No major catastrophes, that was good. She figured that after she had the first week under her belt, she'd be a lot more confident. Of course, the worry over being discovered increased ever so slightly with each year, since she could only assume that, the older they were, the more observant they would be. And these were seventh year students, so they posed the highest risk. But it wasn't as though she had a flask of blood in her desk. No, just an assortment of blood pops, which could easily be thought to be cherry or some other red-colored flavor. Incidentally, she had an assortment of other flavors as well, in case anyone said something about it. Thankfully, she could differentiate between the actually-cherry flavored ones by scent easily enough.
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."As you all know, obviously this is Seventh Year Potions, your final year of study before you take your NEWT exams. This year will be focused on reviewing information from previous years to ensure that you are ready for your exams. This week we'll be focusing on lessons taught in years One and Two."She paused a moment, glancing over her shoulder to check and ensure the information on the board was correct. She wasn't as familiar with it, given that she didn't teach years one through three."For review, we will be having an open discussion about the lessons taught, as well as brewing one potion from the curriculum list, without use of the textbook to help guide you. Feel free to ask questions if you need to, either of myself or your classmates. At the end of class, bottle a sample of your potion, and give it to me with your name and house."The blonde had to admit, she was a little wary of this particular lesson; asking people to brew potions without instruction could always lead to any number of catastrophes. But, these were NEWT level students, after all. When she'd been in her seventh year, she could have brewed any of the potions listed on the board blindfolded. She had to assume her students were at least capable of doing so without their books.

Late night in Potions class was not the way Dani would have chosen to spend a Friday night, especially since the next day would usually be spent practicing for matches, but such was life, and she wasn't particularly happy getting yet another new Potions teacher with NEWTs coming up. Dani decided to make the best of things, though she was hopeful seeing the warm touches the new professor added to the classroom. Candles floated in the air, and tapestries covered the cold walls of the dungeon.
When given the chance, Dani figured it was best to try preparing a potion, without having a book in front of her. She'd been studying over the summer, so now would be a good oppourtunity to see how well she memorized her recipes. She could easily imagine being called upon to cook up a healing potion in the course of her chosen occupation, without having recourse of getting a Potions book out to read up first.
Dani got up and stood before the table, and began pulling out ingredients, assembling them in stages, as she quietly recited the list needed to create a Wiggenweld Potion. She counted out the Chizpurfle fangs, bits of the Wiggenweld tree, and added the sprig of mint, before loading them into the mortar to be finely ground up. Five measures of the resultant mash were put in her cauldron, along with two drops of Flobberworm Mucus, before cooking the brew over a low heat for a minute. As the last second ended, she added the five drops of Boom Berry Juice, stirred seven times counter-clockwise, before adding a stewed Mandrake, and three measures of Powdered root of Asphodel to the mixture. After waving her wand, Dani knew she'd have a bit of a wait, plenty of time to ask questions of her teacher while she assembled the next stages of her potion.
"Professor, what other uses are there for the Wiggenweld Potion, aside from being useful for awakening somebody from a magically induced slumber?" As she talked, her hands moved with surety toward the ingredients, counting out ten Lionfish spines, and a sprig of Wolfsbane, to be loaded into the cauldron at the appointed time, along with a Unicorn horn, which she ground almost to dust in her mortar, before measuring out the two measures which she required. When the wait time was over, Dani could be heard reciting the instructions in a low tone, feeding ingredients into her cauldron in turn, before stirring three times, and waving her wand to complete the process.
Dani was quite tired by the time she was filling the vial with her handiwork, but she smiled for Professor Whitethorne when she presented the stoppered and labelled vial to her for inspection. "Well, I hope I pass the audition," she said, though she was confident she'd managed to do a good job, wanting to make a good first impression.

Cathy disliked the new professor for one specific reason before she even came to the class: this was her seventh year and the professor decided to ruin her Friday, the day before quidditch games and practices, by having class then. What was wrong with day class? If she was more petty she'd have quit the class. Well, there was also the fear of her family's reaction. The Averys already thought she was an idiot, proven by her lack of magical classes besides Charms and Potions, but at least Potions was supposed to be challenging and if she could do alright in that at least she wouldn't be thought stupid. And David, well, he knew she wasn't good at most magical disciplines but he did know she was good at Cooking with Magic and also potions so he'd probably try lecturing her to death if she quit Potions for a petty reason. Ugh, but her beauty sleep! Thank God there was make-up.
Smiling in greeting to Danica she took a seat next to her friend and marveled at how the professor was one of the few adults actually shorter than her. Cathy was shorter than average but this professor, Professor Whitethorne, she was in a whole new category of short. It was cute. And the professor was pretty, like a fairy creature from a story book. Delicate. Smiling at the professor (even though she no doubt was the reason Cathy was losing her precious beauty sleep), she listened to the lecture. Seeing the options of potions to brew on the board she smiled wider at seeing the forgetfullness potion. It was one of her favorite potions, partially because it reminded her of her mother and her mother's skills at a memory charm.
Taking out her supplies and tying her hair up into a high pigtail with a ribbon, Cathy began her work. First she added two drops of Lethe River Water to her cauldron and gently heated the water for twenty seconds. Second, she added two Valerian Sprigs to her cauldron before stirring three times clockwise. Next she waved her wand and set her potion to brew for 95 minutes before returning to work on the potion. She added two measures of Standard Ingredient to her mortar and four mistletoe berries which she then crushed into a medium fine powder with her pestle. Taking two pinches of the powdered mixture she added it to her cauldron. Stirring anti-clockwise five times she then waved her wand completing the potion with a smile. Simple enough, Cathy thought as she labeled the potion and brought it up to the professor. As she left the potion with the professor she paused and said, "Professor, I was curious, about the forgetfullness potion, is there a way to make it more precise in controlling what the drinker forgets? Like memory charms the ministry uses for example..."

M O R V E N G R A I N N E V A S S SLYTHERIN │ SEVENTH YEAR │ BLOOD TRAITOR
Morven waltzed into her last class of the week late, and because it was Potions, while she didn't quite radiate regret and shame, she did have the sense to keep her head down and not waste much time getting to her seat. The late time didn't bother her; by now she was very used to being up at all odd hours, and her sleep schedule hadn't been the same in years, anyways. Still, it was a bit annoying, if only because her other two classes on Fridays were at nine and one, respectively. That was a series of gaps where instead of being able to relax and change out of her uniform, she still had to get ready to later go to another class.
What was up with the scheduling this year, anyways? She knew Ghost and Ghoul Studies was often taught at night as well, but it was a class about ghosts and ghouls. It made sense. Potions did not. The dungeons were practically pitch black at this time of night, aside from the torches, and she wondered how non-Slytherins managed to not get hopelessly lost in them. The professor was blonde and tiny and pale in a way that reminded Morven of one of her old porcelain dolls, and she could only hope that didn't mean she was fragile around teenagers as well. A few years ago, she wouldn't have cared, but she understood the importance of her doing well in this class better now, and she was mature enough to want a teacher that could actually teach.
She'd come in at the tail end of the spiel, but did catch the part about brewing a potion from the curriculum. Fine, at least they were doing something, but what to make? She had zero interest in showing off, she wasn't desperate, but she didn't want to do something ridiculously easy, either. Morven picked one from the year before; the Elixir to Induce Euphoria, which really did sound sketchy as hell, but most potions were. Peppermint, shrivelfig, stir. She waited until it was cerulean. Simmer.... Cerulean faded into yellow. Porcupine quills, blue again, simmer... Now it was royal purple. Castor beans, simmer... a rich chocolate brown. More shrivelfig, now bright pink, simmer again, pumpkin orange, add the wormwood... Sunny yellow. She bottled it, scribbled her name and house on it, and left it on the professor's desk.

Dani was not as awake as she would prefer to be when going into her Potions class, but after putting in extra study time after dinner, and not being able to catch a nap before class, such was the way things went. She was also concerned all these night class were bad for maintaining any sort of patrol schedule, and gave students more incentive to wander the castle at all hours. Now, it was nothing to return to the dorms in the wee hours of the night, just because class ran late.
Still, she was one of the first to arrive for her Friday night class, even if she did only want to get to bed so she could rest up for quidditch practice. Dani started work on a Wit-Sharpening Potion, which she figured would be a good one to make, and wouldn't take half the night to create it. She was fine mixing in the Ginger Root, Armadillo Bile, and the Ground Scarab Beetles, and the potion shifted colours from green to blue to red, it was after this she faltered a bit. After a pause to wrack her brain, she finally remembered to add more Armadillo Bile to her potion, causing it to turn yellow. Once she was past this hump, it was simply a matter of adding Ginger Root again, and additional Armadillo Bile before allowing it to simmer for the required ten minutes. The final step was adding the last bit of Ginger Root needed to get the potion to turn a colour of deep purple.
While she worked, she asked her teacher, and the class at large, "So what do you suppose is the downside of using a Wit-Sharpening Potion. Can somebody start to have a reliance on it, and what would be the possible problems associated with that?" Dani hoped like heck she'd done a competent job, as she ladled a portion of her results into a vial which was already labeled with her name and House on it. "Personally, I should think one of the drawbacks would have to be some absolutely wicked headaches."

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.
spaceOnce everyone was settled, she waved her wand, and a set of instructions appeared on the board."Welcome back, everyone.

Potions class was the last class Mira had in the week and it was one of the latest. However, Mira had spent most of her time studying her potions without the use of the book. She’d do the steps and then see if she was doing them right in the right order. The more she practiced the better she was getting she found. After hearing they were instructed to work on the potions from third and fourth year, Mira looked to the list. She decided to work on a sleeping draught. It was one of the more complexed on the list.
Thinking about the ingredients, Mira remembered she needed standard ingredient, lavender, flobberworm mucus, and valerian sprigs. Grabbing all the ingredients for her potion she took them back to her desk.‘It started with lavender... paste if I remember right…’She thought before taking four sprigs of it and two measures of standard ingredients, crushing it. Once she had a creamy past in her mortar, she moved onto the next part. Taking the disgusting flobberworm mucus she put two blobs into her cauldron along with two measures of the standard ingredient.‘Gentle heat…’Mira reminded herself as she gently heated her potion for thirty seconds. Finally adding three measures of the crushed mixture she made earlier, she then waved her want.
Leaving it for the total of seventy minutes, Mira thought about what she had left to do. It was pretty simple from what she remembered after this. Taking another two measures of the standard ingredient and adding it to her cauldron she then heated it on high for a minute. Taking her final ingredient, valerian sprigs, she added four to her potion. Stirring clockwise seven times, Mira then finished the potion off with a wave. Looking at it the potion was a bright purple. If she remembered that was the right color. Bottling a vial of her potion she labeled it before handing it in, and cleaning up her mess. With class over it was time for bed…

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.

As you all know, obviously this is Seventh Year Potions, your final year of study before you take your NEWT exams. This year will be focused on reviewing information from previous years to ensure that you are ready for your exams. This week we'll be focusing on lessons taught in years One and Two."She paused a moment, glancing over her shoulder to check and ensure the information on the board was correct. She wasn't as familiar with it, given that she didn't teach years one through three."For review, we will be having an open discussion about the lessons taught, as well as brewing one potion from the curriculum list, without use of the textbook to help guide you. Feel free to ask questions if you need to, either of myself or your classmates. At the end of class, bottle a sample of your potion, and give it to me with your name and house."The blonde had to admit, she was a little wary of this particular lesson; asking people to brew potions without instruction could always lead to any number of catastrophes. But, these were NEWT level students, after all. When she'd been in her seventh year, she could have brewed any of the potions listed on the board blindfolded. She had to assume her students were at least capable of doing so without their books.

It had taken her time, but Selina had grown to like Professor Whitethorne, and not just because she kept a jar of lollipops in a jar on her desk, although even she needed a shot of sugar once in a while given how late the class tended to go. For her Potions was merely an extension of her defunct Cooking class and her Alchemy class. Looking at her options, Selina selected the Wiggenweld Potion, as she figured it would be a good test of her memory, as she figured she wouldn't have access to her notes during the NEWT examinations.
Selina poured seven Chizpurfle fangs to the mortar, and a sprig of mint, before adding three pieces of Wiggenweld bark. Finely crushing the ingredients, she then portioned out five measures of results to her cauldron, before adding two drops of Flobberworn Mucus. She heated for a minute at a low temperature, and then added five drops of Boom Berry Juice, and stirred anti-clockwise. A stewed Mandrake and three measures of powdered root of Asphodel were added to the mixture, before Selina waved her wand over her cauldron.
Knowing she'd have a good ninety-five minutes to wait while the potion brewed, she asked, "Professor? Do you know if the examiners will allow us to use Alchemy spells such as 'Delbou' or 'Frango Fringus' during the NEWT? Absolutely pure water would help improve the quality of the potions we might be called upon to make if we were."
When the time expired, Selina placed ten Lionfish Spines, a sprig of fresh Wolfsbane, and a Unicorn Horn into a mortar, and finely crushing the ingredients before apportioning two measures to be loaded into her cauldron. Stirring it three times, clockwise, and then waving her wand once more, it was a real relief when she was able to pour the results into a vial for grading.
