' Have I given it any thought to the question posed a minute or so ago before stressing over who to partner with?' he asked rather bluntly, feeling as though his response was probably telling enough on its own and not entirely meaning to come across as sarcastic as his tone may have implied. It was less about his friends being paired off and more about an assessment of potions skills. He was fairly certain he felt a pair of pretty eyes attempting to burn a hold in the back of his head as he took a seat beside Claudine (though he almost would have rather stood but his track record with pairing up with older Slytherin ladies was not the best so he was trying his best to not drop pebbles into an otherwise still lake). Excellent work so far!! Let me know if you have any questions before we continue onward! OOC: Great job everyone! Onto the next question - you will have about 24ish hours to answer this before we head to the main activity. What makes THIS potion so special that it is so complex, and the ingredients are so hard to come by?' he asked the class.

'One question before we try brewing it ourselves - why do you think the Wolfsbane potion is so difficult and expensive to make? We make potions all the time with ingredients you can grow in your backyard. That means they have to resort to trying to find ingredients at a cheaper price - which may mean they're getting them from less than favorable black market dealers - or they have to place trust in someone else who can afford to make the potion for them.' Additionally, the ingredients are expensive, making it difficult for werewolves to acquire the ingredients.

If not brewed correctly, it can cause illness or even death - or it just may not work at all. For one, it's extremely difficult to make - precision is KEY, which you will all find out about when we brew it later. 'You all touched on the biggest issues with this potion. He could go in to more detail about it, as he honestly found the backstory fascinating, but that would just take away valuable lesson time. Once he got here, he received his potion supply from Severus Snape,' he explained. Remus Lupin himself did not brew it - he is believed to have received it from others prior to his position at Hogwarts. 'Damocles Belby was the one who invented the potion in the 1970s. 'And to answer your question from earlier Mister Flamsteed.' he added, turning to the Gryffindor who'd asked about when the potion was first discovered before the activity began. Expensive ingredients make access hard to come by Long term complications, especially if taken by someone who is not a werewolf Failure of potion to have desired affect if brewed incorrectly / a dose is missed Toxicity due to improper measuring of ingredients POSSIBLE RISKS/ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE WOLFSBANE POTION: Main Activity - Let's brew the Wolfsbane Potion! Question 2 - Why do you think this potion so expensive and so difficult to produce? Mini Activity - Brainstorm with a partner all the things that could go wrong with the Wolfsbane Potion Question 1 - What do you know about the Wolfsbane potion? Class will commence in about 20ish hours CLASS HAS BEGUN! Please act as if your character has been here the whole time!. Please be sure to read the SSRPG and Classroom rules prior to playing. In fact, it's already February so your character has had plenty of lessons with him already. OOC: Welcome welcome to your FIRST OOC potions lesson and my first lesson as Potions Master/Javi! I'm super stoked! However, please remember this is NOT your first lesson with Javier IC. He waited patiently for them to all arrive, leaning against his desk with his arms crossed to (mostly) hide his scraped up hands. 'Morning all,' he said, nodding as the students began to file in. Students were expected to come in and sit at their stations as they did every lesson. Milk, runespoor eggs, armadillo bile - what could they possibly be making today? Other than that, there were no special instructions or anything on the board.

Hopefully the students wouldn't pay too much attention to the vines and instead would focus on the various ingredients sitting on his desk. It had taken FAR too long to even accomplish that! They kind of just.sat against the wall like some sort of edgy paneling along the floor.ĭespite the time it had taken, they were out of the way - for now, at least. He'd been able to push them to the back of the class, but his hands had scratches and bandages all over them from his efforts. If Javier had been annoyed at the vines when they invaded the kitchens, that was NOTHING compared to how angry and frustrated he was that they were now in his classroom.
