Callysto chuckled and chopped up the cockroaches. "Will you get the eggs, then?" Callysto asked. Taking the garlic powder, she poured it into the mixture and prepared herself for the ramen noodles.

As the proffesor explains what we need to create the potion i jot down notes in my book.
After i finish writing down the notes i begin to create the potion.
- I take the vinegar bottle off her and place it on my desk.
- I fill up four cups of vinegar and spill them into the cauldron.
- I break two large eggs and put them in the cauldron. I smash up the shells in a seperate bowl and once the shells are crushed i throw them in the cauldron.
- I chuck in the garlic powder.
Oh god the ramen smells nasty, I say to myself. I immediately put my gas mask on.
- I pour the cup of old ramen noodles in the cauldron.
The cauldron has now turned a ugly brown colour. Um i hope i'm doing it right, i whisper to myself.
Damn I only got one cup of black ink, I say out loud.
I stand up and walk to Meiko. Hay Meiko do you have any spare cups of black ink?

Meiko patted Sparrow's back gently and softly said. "I too am also terrified of bugs... try to be more brave, and I'm sure you'll do fine."
Meiko turns around as she heard Christopher say her name. Meiko says to Sparrow as she left her smiling. "I better go and finish my potion. I hope you do well."
Meiko went back and got a cup of black ink. She smiles shyly as she handed him the cup. "Here you go"
Meiko smiled at Christopher as she looked at her cauldron after letting it simmer for quite sometime. She gets the thermos and gets some.
"I'm done with my potion... I-I'll see you later, Christopher."She stuttered looking down with a small smile. She walks out of the room.

Ravenclaw, 2nd Year
"I'm back, professor. Though I'm a bit under the weather..." His hair was back to being even more red and a lot less appetizing, yet he was feeling far worse than he had then. His head was on fire but his body felt frozen solid. Cold sweat trickled over his forehead and matted his bangs. As he walked further into the room attempting to get to his seat, he was overcome with a wave of extremely potent, horrid scents. He stopped dead in his tracks and toppled, twitching, onto the floor. He was knocked out cold.
((Probably not going to be around much until the second week of January, my idol is home from the military for a month.))

Aludra Yvette... "This is disgusting." Aludra muttered as she added the incrediants to the 5 cups of vinegar she had just added. With the mask fastened securely on her face, she began the grusome task of preparing the potion. The cockroachs were no problem for her since she had a love of all creatures, so in went the 8 chopped roaches. She crunched the eggs between her gloved hands and watched them plop into the pot. Next, she added in the cup of garlic powder and the cup of two week old ramen noodles and the 2 cups of black ink... ALudra loved garlic and ramen, especially together. "Now I need the dung." she sighed, dreading this part of the potion. She got up from her chair and went over to the large barrel of dragon dung. She took a large clump with what she swore was peanuts and grass, then hauled it quickly over her her cauldron where the carefully slide it in. Aludra shivered and she stuck the scooper back into the dung and went back over to her desk. Now it was time for the easiest part of the brew. ALudra stirred the potion with her wand, by magic of course, until they were all mixed and combined. Then she lite a large fire underneath it and waited for it to boil. "This is the most disgusting potion I have ever seen." she gluped, feeling a bit light headed. ...6th Year Slytherin

 The potion in Cloud's cauldron had been boiling for three minutes. She gave it another stir before lowering the intensity of the flames, and sitting back in her chair as it simmered. She could only think that she was incredibly thankful for her gas mask.

Sparrow gives Meiko a tentative smile and says "Alrighty I shall try, thanx Meiko." Sparrow then picks up here knife again and attempts to chop her cockroaches. It takes a looong time but she finally finishes feeling queasy, and quickly throws them in her cauldron so she no longer has to see them. After that Sparrow feels a lot better about the potion and adds the eggs and crushes the shell and adds that as well. Sparrow adds a cup of garlic powder after precise measuring. She then looks at the two week old ramen noodles in digust and thinks to herself. "Eww they are so old and it is such a waste of noodles those are delicious." but she adds them quickly anyway. Sparrow also adds the 2 cups of black ink, and quickly adds the scoop of dragon dung, and after all the ingrediants are in Sparrow stirs the concoction and puts it on the fire to boil. "This truly is a horrid potion I can still slightly smell it through my gas mask!" Sparrow exclaimed while the potion was boiling.

*giggles at everyone's faces as they make the nasty concoction and waves her wand to clean up the mess that Havyn had made* You must've stirred wrong. If you don't remember to stir, gas builds up under all that lovely oatmeally nastiness and explodes.
*walks over to where Nam is laying passed out on the floor* Oh dear. Red-head down. *waves her wand, casting the bubble-head charm around his head. She leaves him lay so he can come to his senses on his own*

Thinking the first thing I should do before even attempting to create this foul smelling potion was to cast a bubble head charm around my head, so I could have proper air to breath. Once that was done I got up and went to retrieve a large scoop of dragon dung. Returning to my desk I place the dung into a bowl next to my cauldron.
After lighting my cauldron I reached over and grabbed the vinegar bottle that Professor Akahana had provided and measured out 5 cups worth into my heating cauldron. While that heated up I chopped up eight large cockroaches, pushing them to the side I cracked two eggs into my cauldron and then crushed the shells in my mortal and pastel.
Looking down at my instructions I measured out two cups of garlic power, two cups of black ink, and a cup of ramen noodles. Once all the ingredients where measure and or cut I dumped the whole load into my awaiting cauldron stirring each ingredient in as I added it.
****
With my mixture now at a boil, I continue to stir the foul looking mess until it resembled a very perverse bowl of oatmeal. I then removed my stirrer and let the potion simmer for another 12 minutes.
****
Once the potion had shimmered for 12 minutes I killed the heat and let the foul stuff cool for five minutes, before carefully ladling it in to the thermos that Professor Akahana had provided for us to use.

Slytherin. First year.
After the potion had sat there for the instructed time, Dorian allowed it to cool enough and poured it in the thermos to take with him. He saw Nam down and nodded his head in disbelief.

 Havyn Beaumont - 4th Year Ravenclaw
"Yeah, I guess I didn't stir it enough," Havyn said in a disappointed voice. "Should I try again? Potions isn't my strongest suit."
She gasped when she realized a fellow Ravenclaw passed out. If only he knew about the need for a gas mask. Poor thing..

Lysistrata Berceuse strolled into her Potions class for the first time.
"Hello," she started off cheerily but strongly, because first impressions are everything. "I'm Lysistrata Berceuse, but my friends calls me Lysis. I'm a Slytherin firstie now, but in the future everyone will bow down to me I'd like to work at the top of the Ministry. Nice to meet everyone!" She beamed as she finished her introduction.

Ravenclaw, second year. ::walks into the classroom, immediately breaking out into a fit of coughs. After covering her mouth, Sabrina remembers the gas mask in her robes. She secures the mask to her face, grateful to be rid of the smell, though a bit wary at the prospect of looking like a horror movie character. Taking her seat, Sabrina sets down her Potions text, and pulls out her quill and parchment, taking notes on the newest assignment.::Hello, professor. I've just transferred in from an American school. I have a pet ragdoll cat named Schrodinger, though I keep my robes meticulously free of his hair, so it won't be a problem in this class. I'm hoping to learn some very exciting things in this class, though I've noticed that I struggle a bit with my technique. I will certainly work to improve this, however.::Sabrina then begins to gather the ingredients, saving the cockroaches for last. When she approaches the bucket, however, she jumps back in surprise.::Oh, my... The cockroaches... They're... They're... ALIVE?::After carefully transporting the ingredients back to her work table, Sabrina stares down woefully at the skittering insects.::I am so very sorry for this... I never intended for you lot to die. At the very least, I promise to make it as painless as I possibly can...::Five cups of vinegar are then added to the cauldron. Sabrina measures each cup carefully, partly to make sure her work is exact, and partly to stall her next action. With a sigh and a slight grimace, Sabrina kills each cockroach in turn, decapitating them, then quickly chopping them and adding to the cauldron in front of her before taking out the next insect. She isn't positive that the creatures have fully conscious thought, but she would still find it rude to force them to watch the others die. After the last chopped cockroach was placed gingerly in the cauldron, Sabrina picked up both eggs, one in each hand. Having some experience in the kitchen, she breaks both eggs simultaneously, crushing the shells in her hands and dropping the contents into the potion. After adding the garlic powder, the ramen, and the ink, Sabrina stares uncomfortably at the measure of dragon dung on her desk.::After years of playing a woodwind instrument, not to mention volunteering at the occasional muggle zoo, I am certain that I will never get used to dealing with bodily fluids and excrement. Ugh, this is disgusting. Though... I suppose that IS the point, isn't it?::Once the last ingredient had been added, Sabrina began to stir the potion cautiously, careful to check the consistency frequently, until it took on the correct oatmeal-like texture. She then began the cooking process, allowing the mixture to come to a boil, and then setting it to simmer for an extra twelve minutes. Once the potion was completed, it was set in the collecting thermos on her worktable in order to cool::I can't even imagine what this smells like...ugh. Professor, I think I'm finished. Does this potion look correct?"Where those of wit and learning will always find their kind..."
