(OCC- I'm just going to start the lesson. If you arrive late, either write yourself in like you'll been in class the whole time or sneak into class quietly. ;D)
Delphina smiled as her eyes roamed over each and everyone of her students. "I am Professor Delphina Hart. You may call me Professor Hart. Today you will be concocting two rather simple potions. The Swelling Solution and the Deflating Draught. The Swelling Solution causes whatever it touches to swell up to double or triple its original size and the Deflating Draught, is like the antitode to it, it causes whatever was swollen to return to it normal size."
"I'm sure not all of you will end up with perfect potions, I know many struggle with the simple potions. If you need help don't be afraid to ask me or another classmate for help. Oh, I suggest you take notes on the changes that happen to your potions as you stir and add ingredients. When your finished the Swelling Solution should be a clear ruby-red liquid and the Deflating Draught should be thick and cool blue."
"The list of ingredients," she flicked her wand, "are on the board. The door to the left of my desk leads to the supply cupboards where you'll find all you need. Pair up, behave yourselves, and try your best on the potions. Good luck!"
The Board Reads: Swelling Potion Ingredients - Snake Fang - Powdered Dragon Blood (a pinch) - Porcupine Quills (b/w 5-10) - Leeches - Liquefied Frog Brain - Daisy Roots (Stir the potion counter-clockwise once it takes on a orange-red color)
Deflating Potion Ingredients - Powdered Moonstone (A pinch or two) - Gingerroot - Knotgrass - Unicorn Tail Hair (Only one is needed!) (Stir clockwise until the potion begins to thicken.)

Professor Hart's eyes watched Shawn and Aja carefully but they flickered back to the board as she carelessly flicked her wand at the board. She started talking, something about not ending up with perfect potions, give us poisons and you'll see perfection. Poison's, whether they be potions or charms had always been of reasonably good quality when Aja was behind the wheel.
"Pair up," done, Aja thought as she watched Shawn scowl in the direction of the jittery Gryffindors. "Behave yourselves," oh you're just no fun are you? "and try your best on the potions. Good luck!" The Professor's voice echoed through the room as students started to collect the ingrediants they were instructed to.
"Snake fang," Shawn looked up at the sound of Aja's voice and she produced a glass bottle of tiny fangs. "Have you got the powdered dragon blood and the porcupine quills? I'm right for the rest." She examined the leeches, frog brain and daisy roots with a sharp eye. All in all this class is quite disgusting.

Trillian bit back a small sigh as she threaded her way through to settle beside Sara, giving her a shy smile. "Hey." then set out the several ingredients she did have. Leeches, Daisy roots and Knotgrass.

He looks up at Aja. "Yah I have it all right here." he takes out the powdered dragon blood and the porcupine quills and puts it with the other supplies.

sneaking into class was easy she gathered her ingredients and moved to the back of the room. She needn't partner...there weren't any left. She shrugged as she followed the instructions to a t glances around the class every so often.

Shawn was to busy working on the potion with Aja, so he didnt notice Sylvia walk in. He then suddenly looked up and saw Sylvia. He then waved to her. "Hey whats up?" Aja then shoved him so he knew he had to get back to work.

Sara first wrote down the ingrediants as to not to forget then she went to the door to get the stuff trillian and herself didnt have, she came out of the door carrying a bunch of stuff from a unicorn hair to liquified frog brain, she set the stuff down in the middle of herself and trillian adding the ingridients they had to the pile "Which potion do you want to do first?" she asked trillian

"The deflating potion sounds easier..." Trillian suggested nervously. She was clearly hopeless at getting to know people, and flinched when something hit her on the back of the head. She looked over her shoulder as an owl landed on a desk. She gave a low sigh and ignored the owl for as long as possible.

Sara nodding wondering why trillian was ignoring the owl but got over it, she looked back at the board and seperated the ingrediants for the potion. The ingrediants were Powdered Moonstone, Gingerroot, Knotgrass, and Unicorn Tail Hair. She handed the powdered moonstone to Trillian "You can put in the first ingrediant" she said

Trillain smiled softly. "Thanks..." and turned the glittering shards in her fingers before dropping them in carefully. She glanced again at the owl and, shooting Sara a small 'sorry' turned to retrieve her letter, reading it with a soft whine of annoyance.

Shawn and Aja both looked up at the sound of a painfully Gryffindor voice. Tony headed toward Sylvia with a smile and Aja shuddered.
"Sylvia, I can be your partner if you want?" Shawn turned his back on the pair and looked at Aja, laugher in his eyes. He seemed to want to say something but couldn't get any words out through his silent laughter.
Cutting up the Daisy Roots, Aja tried to concentrate enough not to cut a finger off before she too burst into silent laughter. "Shawn," collecting the Roots, she dropped them into the potion. "Come on, ignore the amusing behaviour of our fellows and get onto this. We still have to make the Deflating potion to."

She had been in the class since the beginning and she read on the board quickly and quietly and got what she needed from her bag and what she didn't have was given to her. She had imagined that they were going to do a harder lesson but you have to review because not all people studied in the summer.

"But it is so hard!"" he then looked at Sylvia with disgust on his face paring up with a gryffindor. "Hold up a second Aja im about to destroy this relationship." he then walked up to Tony before he had reached her. "Yo man what will Tai think when you leave him for a Slytherin? But also you said that you were going to be his partner first! Think about it. Lose a friend or again an enemy." he then walked back to his table to start the second potion.
