Jennessa knew she was late, and as did the teacher obviously. She listened intently trying still to grasp what was going on. A yelp leapt from her throat as her desk suddenly lurched to the front of the room along with everyone else's. She found that her desk found it's way nearest the two snakes. She glanced over to them curiously, but drew her gaze away almost as rapidly. She looked to the teacher fixing her with that bright blue gaze, and nodding just a little. Her words made sense. Why should she have to yell if the students could just sit closer?
Next the Gryffindor girl began to speak. She raised her eyebrows a little as she listened intently with a bit of interest and surprise. Goodness the girl sounded like a Ravenclaw... She silently applauded her with a smile and then looked back to their teacher curiously. And yet at that point her mind began wandering a bit. This was her worst subject next to any book learning classes... And didn't keep her attention very well, which usually led to hilarity when she began attempting to mix her potions.
Now... One might wonder just to where Nessa's thoughts wandered... And just in cause you're one who did, they wandered to the place where Vane was... She wondered where he had been lately. She hadn't seen him much the past bit... It was understandable, him being a snake and herself a puff. It was likely he had forgotten all about her by now... She sighed just a little as these thoughts brought the usually bubbly girl down from her cloud. Why should she care though? Wasn't she relitavely known in the Slytherin house as a fun time? Some cute little puff that seemed to find it fun to throw herself at the snakes and get herself smacked down? Odd but true, this seemed to be the nature of the puff.
She shook her head slightly as her thoughts continued to wander, really not paying much attention to what was being said at this point.

Ellie made a face at Dinah and was about to hiss unfriendly when the desks suddenly moved. The hiss turned to a surprised squeal and spared her a long explanation that she would share her secrets only when she wanted.
She moved her chair with a loud screetch while the Gryffindork girl answered. Apparently the right answer, judging from Ms. Black's pleased expression. Ellie reached in her bag, took Paul from his box and sat him as bookmark on the page.
The rat lifted his head and looked around, sniffing at the unfamiliar place and started to sneeze, much louder than anyone would have expected from such a small animal.

When her table and chair were suddenly jerked to the front of the room Gen gave a little gasp, quickly holding her vials in place to keep them from flying off and breaking. Rolling her eyes yet again, she thought to herself "Great! No way to hide my incompetence from the rest of the group now!" There was no denying it, this day was beginning to prove itself as a not-so-good one and she was now absolutely sure that she liked Miss Black less and less with every lesson.
Things weren't completely bleak though, because when Waters pulled out her sick rat Gen immediately had an idea. She had been presented with a way of getting even without being too obvious about it. She could get the greasy git back by way of her beloved pet rat! What a tragedy it would be if the filthy thing was to unfortunately go...missing. She smirked, her brain working a plan while the suck-up Gryffindor continued to go on and on about the potion ingredients.

*Lucretia nods appraisingly to Zelda's explanations.*
"Right. One point for Gryffindor."
*almost laughing out loud about the confusion her trick with the tables has caused among the students, she continues to explain further the Gryffindor's answers while she takes several containers out of the cupboard behind her.*
"Now, please come forward one by one to get the herbs that don't figure in your basic kit. I will then show ... "
*Suddenly she is interrupted by disgusting noises. She turns around and sees Ellie's rat sneezing heavily, covering the potions' book and half of the desk with rat snot.*
"WATERS!!" she thunders*
"What in Salazar's name is this rat doing in my classroom? Put it back into your bag, or better go and put it in your dorm, before it infests the whole place. Can't you see it's allergic to the scents in here?"

Phew. Looking around nervously she took a few deep breaths to calm down from the sudden movement of the entire class. Probably most would prefer sitting in the back of Potions lessons if they felt they did not know enough to be rather relaxed. Having to do additional hours for Professor Black's sore throat afterwards would be terrifying indeed. Tina always did her best in all of the classes yet Potions theory was easier than actually brewing something. However, she luckily had managed to get a place farther at the end. What a relief.
The young Ravenclaw got up to walk over for gathering all necessary ingredients. Huh? What was that? A couple of strange sneezing noises made her stop in her tracks. But where did they come from? She did not have to wonder for long as their teacher had, quite obviously, also heard them. Tina twitched at the sudden outburst. Oh, Ellie brought a rat. That explained it. Too intimidated to continue her way for the ingredients she remained next to her chair.

Rose rolled her eyes. Her fellow Ravenclaw had brought her pet rat to class with her, how nice. Pushing her chair back she stood proudly and walked forward to get the necessary herbs for todays lesson. She looked over at Eli when she reached her table and smiled, giving her a curt nod before heading back to her table to get started.

*Prof wanted them to actually get out of their seats now. What a pain. He shuffled in his seat, thinking it best to be fashionably late to the front of the room and determined to stay where he was until it suited him to move.*
*He whispered to his fellow Slytherin.*
Why don't teacher just pull that same trick again and give us the stuff from where she is?

Zelda smiled at Professor Black proud of her answer. Now came the difficult part. Actually trying to make the Elixir to Induce Euphoria. She stood and made her way to the front and grabbed the ingredients she needed. Sitting down Zelda looked over the chapter on the directions to making this potion. It seemed complicated, but what did you expect? She hoped she didn't make a fool of herself today.

*sends an irritated glance at Ellie and mutters to herself*
whatevs, I'll find out eventually
*her mind returned to the lesson and after a while she decided that Ms Black's pedagogical abilities must be severely lacking since she couldn't concentrate on what the professor was saying. She silently wished that Zelda was a hufflepuff; if at least one student from her house had ambitions and had the answers to Ms Black's questions she wouldn't feel bad about not having any of them herself. It would be a win-win situation*
*goes to fetch the herbs while trying to spot the difference between the green stuff that she is given*

She laughed and reluctantly, yet still very gracefully, got up from her seat and went to go get her ingredients. When she returned she whispered to Billows. "It actually wasn't as hard as we thought it would be. I think you'll make it, mate." She winked playfully and proceeded to spread out all the herbs and such on her side of the table.

*He scratched his chin and licked his teeth agitated. Then pushed his chair from the desk, giving him plenty of room to stand. He huffed then forced himself across the room. He collected up his ingredients, somehow managing a swagger while standing still, then threw himself back into his seat on his return.*
Right... you wanna get that book open? Might as well get an idea of what we're doing.

Gen raised an eyebrow, sliding the book in front of him. "You can manage to do that much yourself, can't you?" She smirked as she reached for one of the herbs and brought it up to her nose, inhaling its strong sweet scent.

Nessa hadn't exactly heard Miss Black ask them to get up and come get ingredients for their potions. She had been minorly distracted by her own thoughts. Yet as students started getting up and moving to the front of her class, she leapt up to her feet and moved quickly to the front of the room. Goodness Nessa could remind one of a squirrel with her rapid, nigh jerky movements. She glanced around at those around her, hoping they didn't notice her lack of attention.
She quickly gathered up her ingredients and smiled near sheepishly at their teacher, before dashing back to her spot.

Zelda offered Dinah a quick grin when she passed her to get her ingredients. She'd always been nice to Zelda in the many classes that they shared together. She waited patiently for Professor Black to give them further instructions.

"Billows, I heard that!" *Lu takes a spoonful of chopped leaves, points her wand at it, and levitates the lot in the student's direction. As expected, the particles scatter in the air, going every which way, and settle like confetti on Michael's shoulders and head.* "That's the reason you have to get your stuff in a recipient." *she checks if every student has gotten their ingredients.* "Waters, you are still here? Hurry up, we want to start cooking. - You others, go on already with the two teas: one table spoon per one small cup of boiling water, we need a very thick brew."
