Private Outfit Niamh Doyle (Gryffindor) who is not only appalled at getting a detention (not the best of impressions to give for a prefect!), but who is also hoping that whatever was in that cauldron, isn't corrosive, seeing as it's now all over her skin and clothes :P

Note for - just a reminder that although this doesn't close until Tuesday 19th, if you want your HA to count for the Gryffindor Super Duper Gryffindor Challenge then you need to have posted it by the end of Sunday 17th! (don't forget your house!)

Who said you can't clean a cauldron with style? (Enchanted clothes that repel dirt are amazing and don't harm the rules! ;) ) However, Elizabeth was still not happy with detention at all. And for Merlin's sake, what was that strange blue aura creeping out of the cauldron? Disgusting.

Detention?! Drew couldn’t believe his ears when he’d heard Professor Mathers bark out his name. It wasn’t his fault that a few less than polite words had come out of his mouth. Who wouldn’t have said some of those things or threats when his ‘partner’ at the table had not only added his own ingredients but also a few of Drew’s by accident. Not only did that mean Drew failed the lesson, it also meant the other potion had exploded…everywhere! But it wasn’t his fault, Drew thought with a scowl as he reported for detention. One look from Professor Mathers though wiped away the scowl and he ducked his head and went to the cauldrons to start work. If only a look could wipe away all the grime in the cauldrons as easily!

Apparently whatever was in his current cauldron didn’t like being scrubbed out. It had begun to smoke slightly before emitting what sounded suspiciously like a belch. Then bits of…something…flew out. He felt a glob land on his head and grimaced. Please don’t let it kill me before I can wash my hair, Drew prayed silently. Maybe he should have worn a helmet or something because the stupid apron he’d had to don wasn’t helping much. Drew had an uneasy feeling that there was something behind him, but he didn’t want to turn around; especially not when he felt something on his leg. Looking down there was a small slime blob, oozing its way out of the cauldron and… gazing up at him!

“Um…Professor? I think we might have a problem.”

She really had tried to get to class on time, but she happened across a Hippogriff that other students were studying for their Care of Magical Creatures class. She was so fascinated she couldn't help but stick around and watch. This made her very late for class, and in turn she missed the essential ingredient in her potion, making it explode and burst half of the other students' beakers.

She was so angry that she'd gotten detention, and ended up staining her favorite yellow shirt...her hair shoes and clothing were all covered in some mystery gunk that smelled of chicken poo. Ugh. "I hate potions..." she muttered as she scrubbed.

This is due tomorrow at midnight! :)

"You're lucky I love you, Sabrina." Callista sighed as the enthusiastic serval kitten tugged at the sleeve of her old shirt. Callista Zabini normally didn't even sleep in clothing like this, but it didn't matter how good her cleaning charms were (not that she could use them for this, but she certainly would for her clothes), there was no way in Hell she was wearing any of her nice things to do this. Had Mathers saved the most disgusting cauldrons just for them?

Sabrina climbed up her back to perch on her shoulder.

Despite her grumbling there was no way Callista could ever be mad at that cat.

Still...

"Yeah, that's right. Take a good look at your work, Sabrina my love. If you hadn't decided to eat all the newts for our potions while Professor Mathers was giving her lecture and I was taking notes, we would not be doing this today."

(Callista Zabini, Slytherin)

Sorry for the late reminder, hectic day! This challenge is due at midnight if you still need to finish it. ;)

Most students wore protective masks or used other means to try and survive the stench coming off the dirty cauldrons. Rosie managed to forget hers and as the teacher had explicitly stated, no magic was allowed. After most of the work had been done she was covered in soap suds, dirt and some miniscule colorful blobs of leftover potion. Rosie used a rag to polish the cauldron she had been working on dreaming about the hot bubble bath she would take after returning to the dorms...

"Teacher!! I think something is coming out of the cauldron! Is the blood normal?"

A monstrous sound is heard in the room - like if thunder and death had a baby, Black smoke starts to pour over the rim of the cauldron. The lights start to flicker and with a loud boom blood slashes up into Gwen's face. Invisible hands start to grab at her the sound getting louder!

Gwen yells for the teacher... but she cannot find her voice. The darkness seem to take her eyes away from her - all she sees is black.

She screams!!

Then the room is flooded with lights - Mathers looks at Gwen from the doorway with w worried look on her face. Gwen looks around, everything is back to normal - no smoke, no sounds, no blood. Gwen bursts out crying from relief.

If there was something Professor Mathers had stressed since their first lesson in Potions, it was the importance of safety around cauldrons. Time and time again, she stressed the importance of keeping focus around bubbling cauldrons.. but Lyn couldn't miss watching the "once-in-a-lifetime" semi-final game between the Ballycastle Bats and Holyhead Harpies.. and while she enthusiastically watched the game on her witch's glass... she didn't see her potion was bubbling a bit too much... nor did she see a concerned Mathers approaching her station... until- The explosion falling Lyn knocking her own cauldron was probably heard from as far as the Great Hall. For the rest of that week, Professor Mathers had Lyn scrubbing the potion out of the dungeons' stone floor and gathering supplies for the storerooms. Was she crying or was the slimy goop this thing called drool seeping through her clothes? Both possibly. OH GOD- is it- IT IS, IT'S IN HER SHOES (definitely crying now). One thing's for sure: the next time a Quidditch match and Potions class coincided, her witch's glass would remain in her room with a recording enchantment in place.

[edit] (OC: Did not realize I forgot to put on gloves, but damn I didn't realize I had to have a cauldron in the HA as well.. -__-')a The panic from the lag is just intense and the wardrobe is hard enough to maneuver...)
