THE REQUISITE.

Heeeeeey Gooseberry. I hope you had fun this weekend! THANK YOU MICAH for carrying the banner so so so well omg.

AND I hope you all learned like, exactly how useful potions can be. (BLUE: YES OR DISCONTINUE? MARKET RESEARCH! Hangover potions are sold out but I'm brewing more for next time!)

I SAY THIS ofc because I'm Potions TA this year (Yaaay!) (???) My personal goal is to get EACH ONE OF YOU a potion you realllly truly ENJOY brewing, and maybe an A in the coolest class here. Bar like, I hear maybe Charms. We can't make things sparkle but we CAN make them explode. Like. In theory. (I will not be teaching explosions!)

I'm not setting up office hours during the week, bc of the lab/classroom setup and I don't wanna encroach too much on prep of ingredients or anything else Mr. E might have planned. BUT I will be available during all level classes and on Sunday afternoons. My schedule's APPALLING LIGHT and here it is: [SCHEDULE POSTED HERE]

You can ALWAYS ALWAYS ward me for a study session! Pleaaase don't hesitate to come to me with any questions. Potions related or like, otherwise, I guess, if you want really poor advice over like, chopped bulbs of some kind. Let me know how I can help ♥

[Warded to Casey and please pretend this was here the WHOLE TIME k thx I suck]
AND I got our first book of the year!

I mean. If you want to proceed w/ Book Club. You can still have it if you don't I promise, it's v good.

SUPER awesome. I'm gonna try to make the Wolfsbane Potion less shitty!!! Or, at least, less shitty to brew. I already have some ideas I've been messing around with buuuuut. You know. Help is good I guess ♥

Mr. Elmasry into blood contracts now??? Do you at least get something sweet out of the deal?

[addytives]

Ahhhh now I SUPER can't wait? Wolfsbane's fascinating. I never reallly had a reason to mess with it, so. I wanna hear ALL your ideas. ♥
(ALSO LOOK AT YOU STARTING A YEAR EARLY FOR SENIOR PROJECT? That's so good.)

Less Mr. E more the school administration. I can't get into it. (I totally did)

[lilwitchhazel]

Yeah!! ♥ I'm really pumped about it soooooo I figured I'd just start~ I took some notes over summer and crap so maybe we could go over them?? I wanna have a good idea of what I'm doing before I try too much since I know some of the ingredients are like... not cheapo.

I guess I can live with no explosions if you got some sweet blood contract perks.

[addytives]

Yeah! We can def review notes. And I wonder if like one of the things that could make Wolfsbane easier would BE more accessible ingredients. Idk if substitutes would work but I have some ideas about THAT if you're interested.
(If you think I am geeking out NOW wait til you actually like drop by lol)

[lilwitchhazel]

This is going to be A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.!!!! Ohhh yeah subs!!! I'm going to need way a lot of help with that... I tried drying some junk that you normally use fresh in a funky way and I brought 'em to hopefully see how they'll work annnd ok ok maybe his can wait for actual discussion but hi, you are the best TA ever already ♥

[addytives]

Ooooh yes, I've been playing with drying techniques too. It's so cool bc some herbs are actually BETTER in potions when you do it the old fashioned no magicky way BUT there's some freshness preserving stuff I wanna show you.

Please anticipate a standing lab date AT YOUR CONVENIENCE ♥
