 Shina Kiremono~Third Year~Ravenclaw Seeker Shina tugged on the protective gear, then selected a rusty...something. Perhaps an old pair of spring-shears? Shina took the item back to her desk. "Inveteratus." The result was sluggish, and didn't clear all the rust. With a moue of unhappiness, Shina set her wand aside, removed her right glove, retrieved her wand, and tried again. With direct contact with her wand, the spell worked much better, clearing the remainder of the rust. This was the second time an Alchemy spell hadn't gone right the first time, and Shina was feeling a bit disappointed in her performance. She'd have to up her Alchemy study time.  ((OOC: ... ))

Professor of Alchemy..............Ravenclaw"The cycle of life only goes one direction, not even alchemy can change that."  ╔══════════════╗
Location: Alchemy I Class
Thoughts: '...'
╚══════════════╝
Several silent flicks and flurries of his wand had led directions to be scribed upon the chalk board that stood at the forefront of the classroom adjacent the students desk. Today, bronze cauldrons were placed at the head of every desk, which, for this class, had transformed into a longer wooden table to accommodate all of the ingredients and materials deemed necessary. Hasty steps manually pushed a cart that he had prepared with all of the ingredients and measuring cups needed and several of the rarer ingredients were already bottled to the exact increment, as well.
”Today, you will be completing the Baleful Brew, which, when brewed correctly, instills a sense of empowerment and life, as if all fear and worry had disappeared. I’ve taken the liberty of completing the first step for you all, as it requires a twenty four hour cooling time. You’ll find the first step already in a separate cauldron to the right of your desks. Now, if you’ll divert your eyes to step number four on the board…”
“That step specifies that, as you stir the contents in the cauldron, you’re allowed to stir clockwise as many times as need be, it does not matter, but if you decide to stir counterclockwise during this step, you may only stir eighteen full circle strokes, at the most, and at the least, no more. So, you really don’t need to stir counterclockwise because of the risk involved, if you do it one too many times or less, then the chances of the potion brewing successfully are significantly reduced, but if you do decide to stir counterclockwise—remember, only eighteen strokes—and manage it successfully, it will actually increase the rate of success for the potion. Now, if nobody has any more questions, you may begin brewing….
And remember, the first one to bring me the perfect potion gets to keep a small portion, and the added bonus of twenty points to your house.”Quote: Baleful Brew- All sense of fear, worry, and paranoia are gone, the drinker will be encouraged to act upon basic and primal impulse, eradicating any emotion and fear, and the drinker will successfully be able to do what they otherwise could not. For example, a man too fearful to fly will feel no qualms while under this potion. 1 ½ cup of Essence of Dittany 3/5 cup of flobberworm mucus 3 grams of dried Asphodel leaves 1 ounce crushed Wormwood 1 handful of Aconite flowers 1/5 cup of molten Antimony 4 Doxy eggs 2 Dragon livers 5 Eel eye 5 1/3 grams of dried Venomous Tentacula leaves 12 pints of syrup of Hellebore 6 fl. Oz of Salamander blood 11 grams of Scurvy grass 2 grams of Lovage flowers 1 milligram of powdered unicorn horn 1. Mix and stir Dried Asphodel Leaves with the Dried Venomous Tentacula leaves in a mortar and crush until contents are near powder form, and then pour into a separate basin. Stir in 1 ½ cups of Essence of Dittany, and 3/5 cup of flobberworm mucus into the basin (preferably with a wand) and let simmer for twenty four hours to let the powder absorb. 2. Pour Salamander Blood into your empty cauldron and set to boil. After precisely six minutes, drop each Dragon Liver in, one at a time, while slowly mixing in, and then let sit and boil. 3. Once the mixture comes to a boil, stir in the asphodel, venomous tentacula, essence of dittany, flobberworm mucus mixture into the cauldron *only* stirring counterclockwise. The thick, red and course potion should take on a thinner, smoother texture now. 4. Once the mixture has liquefied, stir clockwise as need be, but *only* stir counterclockwise eighteen strokes at the most, or least. (See Professor for Further Instruction) 5. Drop in the Doxy Eggs and sprinkle in one handful of Aconite Flowers. 6. The potion should then immediately morph into a deep and vibrant violet color, wafting fumes of pink hues. 7. Stir in one ounce of Crushed Wormwood, and only *six* ounces of Syrup of Hellebore. 8. Allow contents to boil for over ten minutes before stirring in five Eel Eyes. 9. Also, combine Scurvy Grass and Lovage Flowers in a separate basin; add the final six ounces of Syrup of Hellebore into the mixture and stir the ingredients until the solidity of the grass and flowers have melted into the compound. Then add to the cauldron stirring counterclockwise. 10. Finally, add a dash of Molten Antimony (1/5 cup) and the Powdered Unicorn Horn (1 milligram.) The potion will then spark with a luminescent glow if done correctly.

Chase Henrick  Ravenclaw : Third Year : Chaser 
Chase glanced over the instructions as Professor Angel went over a couple instructions. Stirring the potion counterclockwise didn't seem too bad, as long as he remained focused. No distractions, no staring blanking at his cauldron, and absolutely no miscounting. Chase thought that maybe he should risk it, rather than play it safe.
When it was time to make the potion, Chase added a dash of this and a handful of that, following each step to the T. He took precise measurements, taking his time rather than rushing through everything. Of course, he wouldn't linger over one step for more than needed. Before he stirred, he noted where he would start, right at the 12 o'clock point, and carefully counted each revolution he made. When he hit 18, he stopped and proceeded onto the next step, which was adding Doxy Eggs and Aconite Flowers to the mixture. He later finished and put some of it in a small vial, then handed it to the professor.
 "The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being.
His heart withers if it does not answer another heart.
His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration."

Shina Kiremono~Third Year~Ravenclaw Seeker Shina listened to the instructions. She considered her options, and decided to try stirring counterclockwise. Potions was easier for her than Alchemy, and she had hopes that her performance this lesson wouldn't be as underwhelming as it had been in her previous classes. Her supplies laid out and ready, Shina began brewing, following the instructions carefully. Stirring, adding ingredients, more stirring, more ingredients, waiting, stir in more things, prep the scurvy grass, lovage and hellebore syrup mix, add to cauldron, stir, last two ingredients, done. Shina scooped a portion of her potion into a vial, stoppered it, labeled it, and brought it up to the professor. ((OOC: ... ))

Okay, a little more than a tid bit. But, she had heard the instructions for the day, at least. She knew she wouldn't get the prize, since brewing anything was murder for her, but she could still try. Opening her textbook, she began to follow the instructions listed for her. She knew most of these ingredients by heart, and did not have to spend time searching for them, which was good. That left her more time to figure out how to brew this thing. After most of the class period had gone by, she finally had a finished product. I wonder if I did this thing right... Probably not. she thought as she labeled a vial, poured some of the potion inside, and set it on her professor's desk. Wearing{OOC:}▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ I'm young, and I am free

Angel stood and adjusted his crisp tailored suit and grasped his wand hidden in his inner breast pocket, a few silent swipes of his wand, and his name began to write itself out on the board and when the clock struck three, his wand had been brandished again to swish the door ajar to allow the students to file in. ”Ah, hola y bienvenidos,” Angel began in Spanish for a fault, and continued in English once the majority of the students had arrived. ”Welcome to Alchemy, I am Professor Amorocho, I understand it may be a bit difficult to pronounce, as it is, you may call me Professor Angel….
“Now, today we are going to begin the year by briefly learning about the Philosopher’s Stone and its properties. The Philosopher’s Stone can be used to create the Elixir of Life, to transform base metals into pure gold, and, power, but, only one stone created has ever been recorded into existence. created by the hands of Nicholas Flamel, and, Albus Dumbledore....
“Now, can any one of you tell me the crucial events leading up to the destruction of the Philosopher’s Stone in the year nineteen-ninety two, and please, state your name, as well?”

She once again wore no shoes; she avoided them at all costs. She slid silently into seat next to Cam. She supposed she would actually have to interact with him now that he was.... with Elli? She wasn't sure if they were actually together or whatever, but they acted like it. She rested her elbows on the tables, and intertwined her fingers, before turning to watch the Gryffindor curiously. He didn't look like he was going to answer the professors question so she twisted to face the man and said quietly. "Lord Voldemort tried to steal the stone to become whole again. Harry Potter was able to thwart him and Albus Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel decided to destroy the stone so that no one else could use it for evil." She said simply, not bothering to raise her hand. When she had finished speaking, she reverted her attention to Cameron, and continued to watch the boy. OOC:...

Third Year: GryffindorIf I Was Your Boyfriend..I'd never let you go.Cameron looked over at the bleach blonde girl who sat down next to him. He was slightly surprised Michelle chose a seat right beside him considering the two weren't really friends. During their first year, he remembered how the girl stared at him from up close. That was one of the most awkward and uncomfortable feelings that another student made him feel. Of course, she was studying him once again, so the Gryffindor darted his eyes over to Professor Amorocho, or Angel, to avoid that feeling. wearing

╚══════════════╝
With a humble nod, Professor Angel smiled broadly as his deep chocolate eyes had focused upon Michelle. ”Yes, brilliantly done, ten points to Slytherin,” he exclaimed as he waited for quills to cease writing before he carried on again with a long-winded explanation of the philosophers stone.”The Philosopher’s Stone was a very crucial ingredient in the hopes to create an Elixer of Life, which, can grant an extended lifespan for as long as the user drinks it, and, it can also be used to restore a witch or wizards soul that may have been broken apart with the means of a horcrux.
“When the stone was set to be hidden in Hogwarts, it had been hidden within an enchanted item, the Mirror of Erised. Albus Dumbledore was a famed alchemist who truly believed in the pursuit of enlightenment and the magical importance of the pure of heart. The mirror, truly a brilliant stroke of genius, would always reflect what was desired most, because of that, it could drive men to madness, simply because, they wanted to see it come fruition.
“The Philosopher’s Stone was hidden inside of this mirror, and even though the possessed Quirinus Quirrell, under orders of Voldemort, desired the stone more than anything else, he would never have been able to acclaim it. Mister Harry Potter desired the stone, utmost, for one and one only reason: to protect the lives of those he most cared about. Although at the time, he had been led to believe it was the previous Potions Master Professor Snape, his heart had always known that he was destined to keep it safe.
“The heart is a very powerful matter, and heavily researched in the Department of Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic, for good reason… And no doubt, it took vigorous spellwork for Dumbledore to have been able to safely hidden the stone in such a precarious manner. Meaning, only the pure of heart, only one who wanted to have the stone, but not use it, would be able to find it in the mirror, which is precisely why Lord Voldemort could not find it.
“The Philosophers Stone was the key ideal of most alchemists, and as you’ll come to find, alchemy branches in every aspect of magic, from potion making, to charmwork, and transfigurations. Now, does anyone have any questions yet?” As he spoke, important facts were magically written on the board behind him for the students to copy down if he ever spoke too quickly.

Adalaide, from her seat on the other side of Michelle, listened carefully to the answer given by her best friend, and to the professor's response, taking careful notes. She already knew all of this, of course, but it would still be nice to have a record of the lesson. She couldn't help but feel like a lot of the lessons were repeating themselves. She guessed it was something they did to make sure students remembered things... but she would much rather the overlapping lessons be spell-related. She'd love to think that one day, she'd be in a lesson that was supposed to teach her to transfigure something, only to find out she already knew how to do it perfectly because she'd learned it in another lesson.

I'm searching for a face
Is anybody here I know

And everything's a mess
And no one likes to be alone
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home? 𝑅ichard 𝐷rage

—¤÷(`[¤* *¤]´)÷¤— Rick entered the classroom and took notes while the teacher was studying. It was funny, if he thought about it. he didn't care much about trying to live forever, or about money, so a philosopher's stone wouldn't do him much good. He however sat back and listened to the teacher and his classmates give their answers, deciding to just stay silent. ----------------------------------
