Professor Demitri Urien practically dragged himself into the dungeon that was designated as the Potions Classroom. He flopped into the large comfortable chair that sat behind his desk. “Welcome to your first potions lesson," he slurred slightly. "Potions making is a very precise form of magic. The smallest mistake can lead to death. Each and every one of you need to pay attention at all times. Games will not be tolerated in this class. I will never waste my time with roll call...yada, yada, yada. You're making an Ageing Potion and a Shrinking Solution.”

Urien pulled a flask out of his robes and took a swig before adding, "Pair up. One of you will make the Ageing Potion, the other will make the Shrinking Solution. When you are done, fill two flasks of the potion you have made." He waved a hand lazily in the air, "Get to work!" He turned his chair toward the wall and almost instantly began to doze off.

((RP your potion making and whatever. Get a good plot or drama going if you want.))
