Lesson Three: Delbou
Thursday, Block Two, 9:00am to 9:45am
╚══════════════╝

The professor entered the classroom hastily, his clock had ran several minutes late, thus, making the professor himself late, but not by too much. The Hispanic man carried himself diligently to the front of the classroom and examined each desk which contained a basin of murky brown water, and with a simple wave of his wand, the familiar script of Juan Angel Amorocho scribbled upon the board with the page number of the spell to be learned this class. ”Welcome back,

“Now, today, we’re going to learn the spell, delbou, which can clean any amount of water with impurities to make it drinkable, the amount, of course, is dependent upon the casters ability and spirit, which can, if concentrated effectively, distill the water to be one hundred percent pure, that is, however, quite difficult to do. Concentration is very important, along with pronunciation, say it with me, del-BUE, and remember, just a simple gesture as you point your wand at the target.. Now, once you've copied your notes, turn to the basins of water at your desk and give it a go. I'll be here if you have any questions...”

The board

turn to page eleven in your textbooks.

Alchemy II
Lesson One: Nicholas Flamel
Thursday, Block Two, 9:00am to 9:45am
╚══════════════╝

”Welcome back students, I hope you had an excellent summer. This year we’re going to dive right back in with a lecture about one of the greatest alchemists in history—Nicholas Flamel. If you’re new, or if you don’t remember me, my name is Professor Angel. If you haven’t already, take out your notebook or parchment and quill and begin taking notes.

“The famed alchemist Nicolas Flamel, born in the 1327, created the only known Philosopher's Stone in existence. Flamel used the Elixir of Life made from the stone to extend his and his wife, Perenelle's, lifespan for centuries until they decided to destroy the stone in 1992, where the couple soon died afterwards.

“The Philosopher's Stone, as you should all remember, was a man-made, blood-red stone with magical properties. It could be used to create the Elixir of Life, which extended the drinker's lifespan, as well as transform any metal into pure gold. The Philosopher's Stone was believed to mystically amplify the user's knowledge of alchemy so much so that anything was attainable.

“You should remember from last year, the stone was finally found within Hogwarts School by Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort, after a series of trials and tasks set by the professors, Mister Harry Potter saved the stone and returned it to Dumbledore where he and Nicholas Flamel decided to destroy it.

“Nicholas Flamel had always been an alchemist that believed in the true pursuit of enlightenment, because alchemy is not only a practical magic, it’s also a philosophy. Now, does anyone have any questions?” The Hispanic professor inquired, glancing about his students and their scribbling quills.

Mira walked into Alchemy knowing last year had been pretty tough. Sure she'd done alright but overall she needed some improvement. Truth was if she wasn't always finding herself late last year she would have probably been fine. Though it seemed to her like she and Benjamin had switched places with him being on time and her not so much she planned to change that.

Taking a seat before class started Mira took out her stuff in no particular rush. By the time she had gotten everything out Professor Angel had started the lesson. Sitting silently Mira listened to the lecture as she took down the notes for the class. The topic was easy enough to understand granted it was more history based then anything else. When it came round for question Mira remained silent as she finished copying down the notes. It wasn't like she had any questions anyway.

Wendy took a seat near Mira in Alchemy and quickly pulled out her parchment and quill to begin taking notes, figuring that Professor Amorocho was the type not to waste time with unnecessary introductions. As class began, her hypothesis proved to be very much the case, and she quickly in her neat stylized script took her notes on the topic of the matter. When he asked if there were any questions, Wendy glance up only to take a moment to shake her head. Honestly this class was mostly history and history was really fairly self explanatory in Wendy's opinion, though the subject of history could be a bit dry at points.

The next lesson, he waited for the students to gather in the seats before he began. ”Albus Dumbledore was a great man. He was one of the most loved Headmaster’s at Hogwarts, was a member of the Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorcerer—served as Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards and as Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot. He is most famous for his defeat of Gellert Grindelwald, the discovery of the twelve uses of dragons blood, and his work on alchemy with Nicholas Flamel in constructing the Philosopher’s Stone.

“Now, is there any other fact anyone can tell me about Albus Dumbledore, this is a discussion, so feel free to add opinions as well, and as always, eloquent answers will receive points for their house.”

Dakota headed to alchemy straight from his mythology class. Sliding into the room he took a seat at the front and quickly took out his things. Books on the desk and quill in hand, the young Ravenclaw was ready to get class underway. Focusing up to the front at his head of house, Dakota began taking notes. He'd come to learn quite a bit about Nicholas Flamel. Him and his wife lived for quite awhile before the stone was destroyed. When it came round to questions, Dakota didn't really have any but he could think of at least something to bring up. "Would it ever be possible for someone to recreate the Philosopher's Stone or is that literally a one in a million possibility?" He asked pretty sure of the answer.

Text.

Selina liked her Head of House, and she trusted him, enough so when she needed help after finding the Bannister brothers unconscious at the edge of the forest it was he she called upon for help. Not because she hoped he would be lenient, she knew better, but because she hoped he wouldn't make more of her actions than what they were. She also found his class challenging and engaging, and what she learned here could be applied in her other classes.

"Professor," she queried, when given the chance to do so, "what was the theory behind how the stone worked?"

Echoes start as a cross in you,
Trembling noises that come too soon.
Spatial movement which seems to you,
Resonating your mask or feud.
Hollow talking and hollow girl;
Force it up from the root of pain.
Never said it was good...
Never said it was near...

Anti enjoyed Alchemy, not just because she was good at it, but because she respected and admired Professor Amorocho as a teacher. She sat beside Selina, and she liked how straight forward the class was. How clear. Things were rarely clear for her. Nicolas Flamel, eternal life, immeasurable wealth... those things made sense to her. Other things... didn't.

Shadow rises and you are here.
And then you cut, you cut it out-
And everything goes back to the beginning.
Silence seizes a cluttered room...
Light is shed not a breath too soon.
Darkness rises in all you do;
Standing and drawn across the room.
Spatial movements and butterflies.

Devonte walked into Alchemy, taking a seat in the back and leaning against the wall. So far, he only saw Antigone and Selina, two of which he didn't exactly see himself sitting next to. Even if he had learned that his thinking and actions from previous years was a bit stupid, old habits died hard, and he wasn't sure if he'd ever even be able to tolerate Selina. Anti was alright, he supposed, but there was something off about her that he couldn't put a word on. He listened as Selina asked questions--of course--and just took notes.

”An excellent question Miss Grey." he said, then folded his hands across his lap as he leaned backwards against his desk to rest. "And one that I'm afraid I can't give an answer to. No one can, really, and while there are many theories it's proven near impossible to conduct any experiments without the stone or Flamel's private research and journals. As of now, it's a mystery element, much like water.

"Have you ever considered the unusual properties of water? Usually, when a liquid is frozen it fills less volume, but water expands, it's less dense and lighter in it's solid form than it's liquid form. which is why ice cubes float. But why? Nobody knows, muggle or magical. It's a mystery. As is the reason for why ice, in its solid form, is slippery. The obvious reason of course, is that it's water, but what is the simple explanation? It had once been thought that since ice is expanded water, that walking on it would condense the ice back into water--that has been proven false however. And if that wasn't enough, we still don't understand why hot water freezes faster than cold water; there are various explanations: it could have less mass, less dissolved gas, or convection currents producing a non-uniform temperature distribution. Or it could have even changed the environment around the container inside the refrigerator." Unlocking his fingers, the professor cleared his throat once he realized he'd gone on and rambled again. "Water, in any case, has been around for centuries, with ample amounts available to any scientist or alchemist. Unfortunately, whatever knowledge of the stone has passed on with Flamel and Dumbledore. But, if you're curious, Miss Grey, 'Alchemy, Ancient Art and Science' by Argo Pyrites has a chapter dedicated to alchemical equations supporting the theories of the sorcerer's stone which may offer more insight than I have time to explain in class for today. And ten points to Ravenclaw, for that question."

"Ah, and it seems we're just about out of time for the day, tomorrow we'll be learning the contributions of Albus Dumbledore, I suggest you read chapter five in your textbooks for homework to prepare for our discussion next class. "

Selina offered, "He was the wielder and master of the Elder Wand, one of the three artefacts known collectively as 'the Deathly Hallows'. He also strikes me as being a supreme gamesman, in that, he planned for and took into account his own death, as he manipulated events to defeat the Dark Lord."

Or where we want ~ Alchemy

Sata sat in class and listened to the lesson as the professor spoke. When asked questions, Selina spoke up first, but then Sata had his own words to say. "He was accused of starting the "Dumbledore's army". And then was put in prison for awhile. I think he was smart, but also stupidly trusting. Trusting can get you hurt." He said finishing his own offering of words.
