Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mitsu had come back with her ingredients, although she seemed a bit disturbed when she stared at the vile of armadillo bile.

"I'm taking this class why?" she would ask herself jokingly. Still she sat out the ingridents, eyes scanning the book occassionally as she started to prepare them.

She was having to much fun inwardly as she ground the scarab beatles, the crunch of their skin and body made her smile, seeing them now grounded she cut up the ginger roots and placed them in as it said, then she poured in the bile, shivering as she could only imagine ingesting the potion to be a horrid taste. She was stirring the potion now as the bile was added, and then she stirred another time till the ingredents all seemed to meld into the liquid, and she let it simmer, waiting for a puprle color.

As she waited she started to notice it turning blue and she siged smacking herself in the forehead.

"Frekaing blue...its always blue..." she muttered, looking to the vial she poured in. "Acropod bile...Great just gonna have to re-do this." she said, nodding as she looked to the chips ferom where she cut the branches, noticing they were roots from a strawberry plant and not the ginger roots.

"Oh boy..." She said, cleanign the cauldron of everything and started over. She wasn't really paying attention to begin with when she got the items, to busy thinking of Ginny and how with class they couldn't spend time together.

"Focus on class first" she said, grabbing the right ingridents this time, and started to redo the potion.

Lily beamed as her potion slowly came together "Isn't this just my lucky day" she said under her breath

"Let's see," started Ryu, reading aloud from his textbook and pointing his wand at his enchanted bag, "Accio Scarrab Bettles, Accio Ginger Root, Accio Armaldo Bile." and the ingredients zoomed out. He pulled put his coldron and started grounding the beetles. He soon put them into the cauldron and started cutting the ginger roots, and put them in the cauldron. He then poured the armaldo bile in and started stiring.

Trista got up from her seat to retrieve her ingredients, then returned and set up her station with her cauldron to the side, allowing her room to prepare her items. She began by grinding up her scarab beetles. When she finished she threw them into her cauldron, then started to chop up her ginger root into miniature pieces, before throwing them into the pot as well. She stirred her contents slightly, then picked up the armadillo bile and slowly added the ingredient until the potion became a lovely purple color. Trista stirred for a bit more, making sure to have combined all of the potion's contents, then sat back and just continued to flip through her potions book to search for some interesting concoctions.

Just as their teacher asked them how everything was going, something Ginger did made the potion react horribly wrong. "Ack," She yelled, poking the now frothing black substance within her cauldron with her wand, trying to make it calm down instead of overflowing.
She jumped backwards as it started splashing and bubbling even harder, yanking her book away from it and searching feverishly for the ingredients and steps to see where she had gone wrong. "Professor? Some help please?" She asked, a mere hint of panic in her voice.

The professor chuckled slightly and pulled out his wand and did a combination of complicated swishes and the cauldron stop bubbling and everything about it seemed frozen in time. He performed another spell, this one much less complicated and the cauldron was squeeky clean. The professor smiled at her 'Let's try again, and remember, to keep a calm head should anything else go wrong. If you panic your mind won't work nearly as well as it normally does. Keep a calm head and talk your time and there is very little you can't acomplish.'

Ginger sighed with relief when her potion was cleared away, and felt a bit embarrassed for having panicked at all, seeing as she knew that vanishing spell quite well. "Sorry, Professor," She muttered, nodding to show she knew she shouldn't have lost her cool.
"I'll keep calm next time," She smiled at him, indicating she knew perfectly well that there was going to be a next time to mess up again.
She gathered up some more ingredients and began working at the potion again, this time trying to concentrate a little bit better.

After stirring for a few minutes Laurel looked into the simmering cauldron: the potion was indeed purple, but a little lighter than the expected shade. "Well, the fact that it didn't explode is a miracle in itself..." Laurie stated optimistically. She looked up. "Professor, I think my potion's finished if you wanna take a look.."
