Bryce flipped his book to page 144 and sighed as he looked at the page. Then, he looked up to see what the Professer would say.

Joeclyn sighed and waited for the Professor to start.

(hmm, lots of waiting, you want me to play her?)

"Before we even begin, I have several things to mention. First off..as last year evidenced, many of you think you can slide along easily in this class. With many of you facing your OWL's, you have a rude awakening in store this year. The work will be harder, the potions more complex, more time-consuming. Be prepared for long essays, extra work, and the like. Now..that being said," here, she gave her wand a flick, and instructions appeared on the blackboard in a thin, spidery script. "Instructions are on the blackboard, and you have one hour. Begin." With that, a large hourglass was overturned, and the sand began spilling down into the empty glass, filling up at an almost alarming rate.

(There..got it started.)

Bryce was so unprepared as he was half asleep, that he jumped when he saw the hourglass overturned. He quickly scanned the instructions and sighed. "Geez, this will take forever!"

Coming out of a partial stupor, Allison hurriedly read through the instructions, and after checking and double checking the ingredients, got up and got to the storage cabinet first, quickly gathering her supplies then hurrying back to her cauldron to begin.

Bryce was second up and got his ingredients needed. He sighed and worked with quick hands but with caution.

Kayden and Zach both hurried to grab the necessary supplies, helping each other along the way. They got back to their seats and began working, knowing they didn't have alot of time.

Fifteen minutes down.. Allison thought irritably, glancing up from her work long enough to look at the massive hourglass. One fourth of the sand had now filtered to the bottom, with more slipping away with each passing second.

With a start, she began stirring her concoction again, as the instructions said to, rubbing at her fogged-up glasses with her free hand, and pushing her hair back away from her face.

Jocelyn hurried to finish her concoction. She wasn't exactly amazing at Potions, but she wasn't horrible. She stirred her potion as the directions stated and groaned when she made a mistake. It would take longer now to fix it.

Kayden helped Zach with his potion. It was not turning out like it was supposed to. Kayden was good at potions and hers was really close to what the instructions said it would be. She was hurrying to help him figure it out.
Zach smiled at her sheepishly. "Thanks, Kayden."
Kayden smiled back, "It's no problem."
