Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kinzo looked around the classroom while she waited for the Guiness. Hey, there's Kenny and Steven! She smiled at her two friends, but didn't leave her potion, since she didn't want it to burn. She kept stirring the pulp and read over the last few steps remaining.

As Steven put in the peppermint leaves and chopped ginger rhizome he nocticed that Kenny and Kinzo were in this class. He waved to Kinzo then mesured out his spider eyes.

He cut his cungranextractor and started coughing from the fumes. As he got out of the cloud of smoke he noticed that his potion had changed color, he checked his measurments again and added the spider eyes. As the first one hit the mixture it started popping and Steven jumped visibly.

After the popping stopped he added the cungranextractor and waited for it to rise back up to the top.

Kinzo noticed that by now both Kanita and Steven were waiting for the Guiness. She smiled back at Kanita while trying to figure out whether she'd seen her before. She did know that the girl was an older Ravenclaw, but that was about it. Kinzo abandoned the attempt to squeeze anything else out of her memory and instead waved back at Steven. She continued her search for Lady Concetta, but now she also watched the other two who were waiting.

Sira measured the cungranexactator to get exact 100g, while the concoction next to her fizzed and bubbled.
As she chopped it into uneven bits, one tear, then two more began to escape her eyes.

"Argh, devilish things!", she thought, while rubbing her eyes with her right sleeve.

After her cauldron contents settled down, she added the cungranexactator and watched it get swallowed by the liquid, only to resurface soon after. Following instructions, she relit the fire and as the potion begun to boil again, she stirred it with a wooden spoon and carefully prevented any of the cungranexactator to stick to the sides of the cauldron.

Slowly, it began to form a foamy white paste, and as it did so, Sira raised her hand to call Lady Concetta over so that the next ingredient, Guinness beer, could be added.

((I love how I just said "don't wait for Lady C" and realized that you guys kinda neeeeed her... ooops. I'm coming, I'm coming, I promise!!!))

Lady Concetta was very angry with Professor Avery-York for pulling her out of her class as such an important time, but she stoically strode back in as soon as she could. A quick glance around the room confirmed her fears - potions were in need of key ingredients. She really hoped that bafoon didn't blotch these students potions for them. She scooped a handful of Guinness vials off her desk and quickly made her way to the students.

First was Sira, whose potion was looking good although the girl needed some eye protection charm ... or goggles ... or something. Her eyes were puffy and red and these weren't exactly dangerous ingredients. When they got to working with those this girl would need something extra.

Next was Kinzo, who seemed to be doing quite well this time around. She liked students who improved under instrution. She poured the Guinness in and gave the student a smile, even for a Ravenclaw this one held promise.

Then was Steven, who had the nerve to be late to her class. Something she did not treat kindly, but he was catching up. However, too quickly, when the Guinness was added the potion did not turn the right color and Lady Concetta frowned. She didn't get to watch what he did wrong, but obviously something wasn't right.

Finally was Kanita, another promising student. This one had taken quite a lot of extra care, would be a good candidate for the Potions club when it started up. And the color of the potion turned the perfect shade when the Guinness hit it. That's what Lady Concetta liked to see, this student also got a smile.

Kinzo smiled back at the professor glad to have done well now. She looked into her caudron and saw the nice clear golden color though there were a few blackened bits of cungranexactor floating about. I'll be more careful about that next time. She put out the flame and waited a few minutes while the potion cooled a bit. After it looked as though it were cooled she dropped in the ginger with her left hand and the blood with her right. The potion turned a pearly color while letting off a bit of gas. It's quite pretty... She picked up her bottle and was about to fill it when she realized she ought to write her name on it first. Why is that the thing I always forget? she asked herself while sighing at her silly quirk. She wrote on the vial and ladled precisely 25mg of the liquid into it being certain to avoid any pieces of cungranexactor. She looked about wondering if anyone else had finished. Noting the empty holder at the front she decided to start on her homwork before turning it in.

Kinzo finished writing her basic ideas for the homework questions. Her messily scrawled notes were a bit hard for even her to read, but she thought it'd be alright. She stuffed the parchment into her messenger bag a picked up the vial of pearly liquid. She walked forward toward the front of the room at a fairly slow pace. As she made her way Kinzo looked at the other students' progress though she was careful to stay a safe distance away. After reaching the front she placed the vial which contained 25ml of the Cuspis Forix she'd just finished. Then she slowly walked back to the desk and sat down only to pull out a small paperback which she promptly began to read.

Ascella, walked gracefully into the class. Her hair was tied up on the top of her head. She had a large section of her hair loosly in her face, her bangs in an a-symmetrical form around her face, leading to long strands of her white blond hair. Her bangs had been bewitched to be green glittery, with the tips flaring off and on according to her mood.
She took her spot, and sat gracefully on her own, not noticing, or bothering to notice anyone from her house.She sat alone, taking out a cauldron on her way.
Cell took out her containet given to each students of water, to fill her cauldron with. Another spell followed, her cauldron heating up slowly. She sat there, chewing the bewitched gum in her mouth. It was bewitched to emit sour bursts into her mouth. She had gotten the green apple, her favorite to chew. She blew a large bubble, concealing it from the teacher. Ascella's pot was heating up, but it wasn't quite there. She took her peppermint and started chopping it up, according to the directions.
