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. 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."Before I begin this lesson, I am going to preface it with a warning; love potions are serious business. They are not toys. They are not a way to gain the attention of someone you admire. This is especially true in this case, as Amortentia is the strongest love potion in existence. It does not create love. It makes the person who drinks it obsessive and infatuated, and it is dangerous. You are being taught this potion because it is extremely complex, and you, as NEWT-level students, are expected to be learning to brew complex potions. But not one drop of it will leave this room, and if I find out you are trying to sneak it out, there will be serious repercussions."Adalaide attempted to look as stern as she possibly could, which was somewhat hindered by the fact that most of her students were taller than her and probably outweighed her by a good fifty pounds. But, it was something her father had hammered into her for basically her entire life. Love potions were dangerous. She supposed that at least she had the experience of being a mother to help bolster her ability to look intimidating, though it was much easier to intimidate a pair of four year olds. Or... well, maybe not. Meanwhile, she had to hope that none of her students were in the grip of teenage rebellion for the sake of rebellion and would now find the challenge of sneaking the potion past her irresistible. Hopefully, they were more mature than that... hopefully. At least she'd be able to smell it on them if they did try anything.
spaceThe Hufflepuff gestured to the board."Instructions are on the board, and in your textbooks, supplies can be found in the cupboard. If you need help with anything, don't hesitate to ask, either myself or one of your classmates. When brewed correctly, the potion should have a mother-of-pearl sheen, with steam rising in a distinctive spiral, and give off a scent that is a combination of scents you personally find attractive or pleasing. Chocolate, rainfall, a certain someone's cologne, any scent that exceptionally pleasing to you. It will smell different to every person, so don't worry if your perception is different than that of your neighbor; that means you did it right."Ada had considered for all of a second sharing what the potion smelled like to her as examples, but figured it'd be best not. First of all, she'd have to lie, because ever since being turned, it'd taken on a distinct trace of blood, which was understandable but still somewhat odd. Second of all, she had a feeling saying 'my husband' would probably be TMI for some of the students. Specifically, his younger brother. She hadn't really considered the fact that Timothy was going to be in her class... which posed a completely different sort of problem, but she wasn't overly worried about it. Her father-in-law was going to find out eventually.

Mira walked into potions with two questions in mind. Why was class so late? And who was new professor? Taking her seat she figured she’d get at least one answer to her question shortly. Regardless of who taught the class she still loved potions. Leaning on her potions book, Mira looked up as their new professor addressed the remaining students that choice to continue the subject. Surprisingly a large number did. The professor’s name was Adalaide Whitethorne. Nothing the women said explained why they were in a class late at night. Though that wasn’t even on her mind when it suddenly occurred to her that Adalaide and Timothy were related. Of course with all new professors there were introductions. Luckily she wasn’t asking for much. “Mira Mitchell, Slytherin.” She stated before sitting back down in her seat.
Once introductions were over with Mira waited till they got on with the lesson. Finding out that the lesson was on the love potion Amortentia. It was the strongest love potion in the world and anyone who was serious about potions knew it wasn’t a potion one wanted to play with. Professor Whitethorne’s warning didn’t go unnoticed by Mira. She didn’t need a love potion anyways. Obsessive and infatuated people were her style.
Flipping her book open, Mira went to work. Going to get her required ingredients and coming back to her seat she started on adding three rose thorns, two vela hairs, and two measures of standard ingredient to her cauldron. Stirring it clockwise three times, she heated the potion at the required temperature for five minutes. Giving her wand a wave Mira left it to brew. When it was done brewing for the whole sixty minutes, she added five pinches of lovage and a pinch of silverweed before stirring it anti-clockwise five times. Giving it a final wave her potion was the proper mother of pearl sheen with the spiral included.
Sticking her head over her potion Mira took a moment before giving a sniff. It smelt like fresh dirt, cooking in the kitchen, and… well someone she might know of. Blushing slightly at the thought she was just thankful she didn’t have to tell anyone. Either way it certainly smelt like things she found attractive and/or pleasing.
Status:Confused... A new Professor...? With:Class...
Wendy had been horrified when she got her OWL scores by a particular grade: her E in OWLs. It hadn't even been her lowest score, but the fact that she had gotten such a mediocre grade in something she usually excelled in annoyed her. She hadn't mentioned her OWL scores at all to Evander as no doubt he would mock her for only getting an E in Potions, one of her favorite subjects. Worse is she couldn't mention that she had let her studying go some because she was distracted by a certain underclassman. Evander would never let her a moment of peace after that. No, she would merely have to work twice as hard this year and the next so her NEWTs were as they should be. She was frustrated by the late hours that the potions classes now ran and glad of the coffee she chose to drink during dinner to stay alert took a seat next to Mira, not concerned if Timothy had eyed the seat first. He should have been there sooner and she wasn't going to let the mute determine where she sat.
She tilted her head ever so slightly as she propped up her chin listening as the pretty (but a bit pale) blonde professor introduced herself. Whitethorne. So she was likely related to Timothy by marriage somehow. However, Whitethrone was a big family and only growing by the sounds of it and the rumor of a certain Hogwarts governors numerous affairs. How many kids did the dwarf produce again that everyone knew of? She returned her attention to the potions professor and smiled as she introduced the potion Amortentia. Wendy had no use for the potion, or not now with Evander and her almost nightly explorations of dark corners in the castle or going for a complete lack of shame and using the common room.
When it came to her turn for introductions, Wendy stood and said, "Wendy Chaisty in the house of Slytherin." Taking her seat she began to pull out her supplies and go to work on the potion. Three rose thorns. Two veela hairs. 2 of the standard Ingredient. Three clockwise turns. Heat to medium for five minutes. A wave of her wand. And then letting it brew for sixty minutes. Once that was done she added five pinches of lovage, a pinch of silverweed, turned it five times anti-clockwise and then with a wave of her wand had a potion that was the shimmery mother of pearl color as expected. And into the air was the smell of salt from the ocean, a hint of old books, and the smell of the shampoo and cologne that Evander used. The smell was to be expected and refused to be embarrassed by the last scent and looked over to Mira who was blushing after she took a sniff of her potion. How cute.
Arianna walked into class proud that she had managed to scrape by and get into the class. It was never her forte but she certainly studied her butt off to get here. The red head brushed her hair over her shoulders as she made her way to a table. She knew Benjamin would be here eventually but she wasn't sure who else would be with them so she made sure to leave space for her friends to sit near her.
The professor soon began and asked everyone to for the normal introductions. When her turn came around Ari stood, "Arianna Davenport, Gryffindor." she stated then sat quietly back down. It was a little weird that as sixth years they still spent time doing introductions. Brushing those thoughts aside she listened to the rest of the professors speech warning them about the love potion. The red head fought back her giggles as the teacher warned them not to take any. Would someone actually do that? She wondered to herself as she began her own potion.
She flipped her book to flip through until she found Amortentia. The girl then set out to follow the directions as she began concocting the difficult potion. It took almost the entire class period but with a final wave of her wand she stood standing over a pot full of what could only be described as pearl colored. She immediately knew it worked by the scent. The potion smelled delicious like a certain boy with a dash of fresh air and daisies.
But they don't know what I know Cause when the sun goes down Someone's talking back Yeah, they're talking back
Dating ~ Mira Mitchell
❝This was going to kill him. Seriously, he had thought once he dropped Astronomy he'd finally be able to make it to bed on time but no. Now his late class was potions of all things. At least if he fell asleep in Astronomy no one had the propensity to die! And worse, it wasn't like he could blame Ada for it. Well he could but he'd just feel like a royal jackarse because it wasn't exactly her fault..wellactuallyyesitwas but he could at least understand it. After her attack the whole family had been worried about her and he himself had wondered if they'd be reading about a random vamp attack once Chris awoke and found out about it. That had fortunately been averted and one thing led to another and now he had two siblings who were vampires instead of just one. But she seemed happy, happier than her husband when he had found out according to his twin, so he couldn't and wouldn't begrudge her. He could be annoyed that he was going to have to drink like two cups of coffee just to stay awake! With a sigh Timothy took his usual seat in the front and only realized how weird it was that he was about to be taught by the same woman he regularly argued the ranking order of Marvel superheros. That and she was family. Would people start making baseless claims that he was given a higher grade because they were related? He didn't think so, plus he very much doubted she would. Ada seemed to be a lot like his own mother when it came to potions so if anything he'd probably just be graded harder. Damn. He gave a slight twitch and gave his in-law a droll look when she mentioned introductions and only gave an inaudible sigh when he stood to do his. At least he didn't have to write it down since he knew she at least learned these simple signs. "Timothy Whitethorne, Ravenclaw." Timothy quickly sat back down and pulled open his notebook to begin and stifled a rather aggressive yawn. If this continued he might have to actually sink towards muggle soda but bleck all that sugar. When it was time to brew he addedthe thorns, hairs, and standard ingredient to his cauldron and stirred looking at his watch to time himself for five minutes after minimizing the fire. When the time was up he waved his wand and set out his actual timer for the hour long wait as well as his cursebreaking text. If he was going to make a career out of this he needed to learn as much as possible in his time here before being thrown into the wilderness. When the time was up he quickly added the five pinches of lovage and the pinch of silverweed before stirring in the opposite direction of earlier five times and then waved his wand to happily see the mother-of-pearl sheen. The teen wafted the fumes towards him taking in the smell of mint, dark chocolate, manuscript paper, and a perfume or body spray he couldn't place until he remembered when he had smelt it and blushed brightly as he sat back in his seat. ❞

Mira didn’t mind Wendy sitting with her. In fact she liked it. They were friends and housemates. Two things, that didn’t necessarily mean that they spend a whole lot of time together. Sadly with her being with Timothy and evidently Benjamin, and Wendy being with Evander it was tough. Of course the time she did have with her friend was a time she enjoyed. Even if when they first met Mira was less then ecstatic. When she finished her potion, Mira could only wonder what Timothy or even Wendy for that matter smelt. She assumed that Wendy was the scent of the ocean type girl since she really should have been a mermaid. Regardless as she looked over at her housemate she couldn’t help but realize that she was looking at her. “What?”Mira asked curiously before cluing in that her face felt warm.‘Am I blushing…?’ She thought not wanting to know the answer.
Wendy genuinely smiled and even gave a small chuckle at her friend's demand of 'what'. Quietly Wendy said, "Could you be any more obvious. Don't worry, though, you aren't the only one..." She turned her gaze to Timothy for a moment who was blushing brightly and then back to her friend, "I mean look at that. I can bet one of the smells he's smelling." Sitting back she said with a toss of her red hair, "I don't see why it is something to be embarrassed about. You two have been dating for almost forever now."
Oh! Now Mira definitely knew she was blushing. Could she be any more obvious? Probably if she were to shout the results of the potion’s scent out loud.“Maybe,”she answered looking over to where Wendy was looking she smiled. So, she wasn’t the only one.“I don’t know if that helps but yeah I bet you could.”She admitted looking back at her friend.“Three full years come this winter to be exact.” She commented with a smile. Perhaps Wendy did have a point though.“Point taken though, I really shouldn’t be embarrassed.”Mira said shaking her head. “Perhaps I still can’t fathom caring for someone that much.” She admitted quietly. Even Mira had trouble with the concept of love. Just saying I love you was hard enough as is. Of course she did tell Timothy she loved him, it had taken a bit but she taught herself to overcome the questioning looks of others.
Dylan walked into Potions rubbing his eyes, a bit upset that now Potions ran late too. It was bad enough having to stay up just to sit through Astronomy, but now Potions too? Oh well. He supposed it was his fault, as he had chosen to continue the class when he could have very well dropped it. Taking a seat beside Arianna, but giving Benjamin room to sit next to her as well whenever he arrived, he listened to the new professor's speech and introduced himself when the time came. "Dylan Burgamy, Ravenclaw." He wondered if there were actually people who would use love potions to garner people's affections; it seemed a bit old-fashioned, but maybe that was just him. He definitely wouldn't--he liked to think he already had the affection of the person he cared about, and he didn't need a love potion either.
Once they were set to work, he started brewing the potion, constantly looking to the board, back down to his notes, and back up to the board until he put the finishing touches on the very sweet smelling potion. He took a whiff of it, his nose being filled with the smell of strawberries and Emily's perfume. Glancing over at Arianna, he could guess what her potion smelled like. Not that he had ever smelled Benjamin, intentionally. That would be weird.

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 Elixir to Induce Euphoria. It's an odd potion, and one you have to be very careful with. The purpose of the potion is to cause absolute happiness within the drinker. It's generally used to treat bouts of depression, though this is a somewhat problematic usage, as the happiness caused by the potion is very overwhelming, and it can become addictive. Furthermore, like a Cheering Charm, it is a very delicate thing, and taking too much or too potent of a dose can have lasting, often negative repercussions, so it's best to treat the elixir with caution. As with any potion of this nature, I emphasize that it is not to be used except as a last resort, when all other options have failed to achieve the desired result, and that it should be used extremely sparingly."She paused, pursing her lips, then continued on with the actual lesson, figuring there was no need to harp on the subject of the dangers of potions."The potion itself can be quite complicated, so don't worry too much if you find yourself unsure of what you're doing. 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 bright, sunshine yellow. It is also recommended, though not required, that you add a sprig of peppermint to the potion in the early prep stages to help curtail some of the more dramatic effects, such as excessive singing and nose-tweaking. 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.

Mira took a seat in potions class having no problem with Professor Whitethorne. She was nice and knew enough about potions for her to be alright in her books. With parchment in hand Mira wrote done some notes on the Elixir. Inducing Euphoria seemed complicated and honestly, the Slytherin figured the charm was good enough. Of course for extreme cases it made sense. She made sure to note the dangers of the potions uses but other than that she really just wanted to get making it.
When they were left to start working on the elixir, Mira went and got her supplies from the cupboard. Sitting back down, she got to work adding peppermint until she got a red color, then shrivelfig until it was turquoise. Stirring until it was blue the sixth year let it simmer till it was yellow. Yet again Mira was thinking this potion was about colors. So long as she knew what to look for you pretty much had it. You just had to be patient. Once yellow she added porcupine quills till it was blue and then allowed it to simmer again until purple. Waiting again she got the castor beans ready, and when it was time she dropped seven of them in. Waiting once more for it to simmer to a brown color, Mira only had two ingredients left. Adding more shrivelfig to the potion until it turned pink, she waited for what would be the last time till it simmered orange. Finally adding in the wormwood until it turned the sunshine yellow that Professor Whitethorne had mentioned Mira was impressed. She certainly had a knack for potion making.
Anger and resentment, A dark path you tread, I would be careful, young one, But, I know where you belong... Slytherin!

spaceAdalaide watched as her sixth 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! Before I begin this lesson, I am going to preface it with a warning; love potions are serious business. They are not toys. They are not a way to gain the attention of someone you admire. This is especially true in this case, as Amortentia is the strongest love potion in existence. It does not create love. It makes the person who drinks it obsessive and infatuated, and it is dangerous. You are being taught this potion because it is extremely complex, and you, as NEWT-level students, are expected to be learning to brew complex potions. But not one drop of it will leave this room, and if I find out you are trying to sneak it out, there will be serious repercussions."Adalaide attempted to look as stern as she possibly could, which was somewhat hindered by the fact that most of her students were taller than her and probably outweighed her by a good fifty pounds. But, it was something her father had hammered into her for basically her entire life. Love potions were dangerous. She supposed that at least she had the experience of being a mother to help bolster her ability to look intimidating, though it was much easier to intimidate a pair of four year olds. Or... well, maybe not. Meanwhile, she had to hope that none of her students were in the grip of teenage rebellion for the sake of rebellion and would now find the challenge of sneaking the potion past her irresistible. Hopefully, they were more mature than that... hopefully. At least she'd be able to smell it on them if they did try anything.
spaceThe Hufflepuff gestured to the board."Instructions are on the board, and in your textbooks, supplies can be found in the cupboard. If you need help with anything, don't hesitate to ask, either myself or one of your classmates. When brewed correctly, the potion should have a mother-of-pearl sheen, with steam rising in a distinctive spiral, and give off a scent that is a combination of scents you personally find attractive or pleasing. Chocolate, rainfall, a certain someone's cologne, any scent that exceptionally pleasing to you. It will smell different to every person, so don't worry if your perception is different than that of your neighbor; that means you did it right."Ada had considered for all of a second sharing what the potion smelled like to her as examples, but figured it'd be best not. First of all, she'd have to lie, because ever since being turned, it'd taken on a distinct trace of blood, which was understandable but still somewhat odd. Second of all, she had a feeling saying 'my husband' would probably be TMI for some of the students.
