" Geetings class. I am your professor for potions. You will address me as Professor Kato and nothing else. I have a few requests concerning my assignments. I will give you the information and the questions. I want the questions restated and numbered. Also your answers will be sent to me via pm. Do NOT post your answers on here I will delete them and make you do it again. Ok now for your lecture for this week.
Scarab beetles Family, Scarabidae, Genus, Scarabaeus, Species, sacer. Commonly used when dried and crushed, this ingredient is used most in the wit-sharpening potion. This is an ingredient you want to be careful with. Scarabs were held sacred by ancient egyptians and it is said that a curse can behold the one who abuses the use of scarab beetles.
Known commonly as Egypt's Holy Beetle the scarab is easy to spot but hard to obtain.Would you worship a manure-eating animal? The ancient Egyptians thought of the sacred scarab, a dung-eating beetle, as a holy animal. It was used as a symbol of the sun because of its circular shape and bright golden colors. They believed that the scarab was one of the forms under which their sun-god appeared. When the beetles rolled the ball of dung along the ground, the ancient Egyptians thought it was like the sun crossing over the earth during each day. The scarab figure was often carved on precious stones and worn as beads or other jewelry. These carvings were used as charms and were thought to bring good luck, or to keep away evil. Official seals were made in this shape, too.
Lecture Review 1. Name the family, and Species.
2. Where do these originate
3. What did ancient egyptians think the scarab represented.
Bonus:(( Worth one bonus on final grade.)) What potion is this used in most?
This assignment is due on June 3, 2006

Kato turned from his black board clearly not pleased. "You both are late. Take your seats before I lose my patience." He turned b ack to the board and continued writing in silence. The room was no different from how Snape used to decorate it...or rather...the lack of decoration. The room was bare of frills and fluff as he called it. Though walls were stacked with ingredients and cauldrons. Some simmered different colors with different potions other students had concocted in other classes. He put his wand down and the chalk took it's place back on the desk. "Now, would you two mind telling me WHY you were late hmm?"

"Sit back down." He said to Roxy. "Alright you get one day of grace but now that you know where it is I trust you won't have trouble finding your way here again?" He tried to hold back a smile of amusement but it cracked at the corner of his mouth and he quickly turned back to the blackboard. "Now, would anyone else care to disturb my classroom?"

Hannah limped her way to potions that day. ' I'm very sorry if I'm late sir I was having trouble with my leg going down the stairs. Hannah sat at her desk and listen very carfully to her teacher.

"It's quite alright Hannah. You are the only one in this classroom with a tru legitamit reason for being late. Have you seen the infirmary about that leg? They can fix it in a matter of minutes you know." He walked over. "Come, I'll take you there."

He looked at Zelma "late too eh? This is your warning. Next week I will take house points from all of you, even my own house." He then went to the board and began writing notes. "Tell me, are all of you first years? I've never had so many students late to a class except for first years." He wasn't being sarcastic, but sincere. He wanted to know if his class was at a wrong time or if he needed to literally make each of these students maps.

Nocturne waited outside the classroom, listening to the conversation. She eventually walked in silently, hoping thatt he professor wouldn't notice her. she sat down towards the back, frowning in concentration as her hair became a dull brown colour. She quickly pulled out what she needed, and read what was written on the blackboard.

Chance slipped in the back and quickly wrote down the homework. If he had been late for every class it was for the same reason. Some how he and Charlie got in trouble for Some Death Eater crap. He sighed and leaned back. This week had not been going well at all.

Kato had noticed the boy slip in but seeing the stress upon his face he said nothing to him. His eyes didn't leave the boy's for quite some time. Something was different about him...something Kato couldn't put a finger on. He stood back up after examining the students injured leg and sighed. "Due to the commotion of so many tardies class will be dismissed for now. I expect you all here June 5th for next weeks class." he again met eyes with the boy and spoke very softly. "Class ajourned."

Nocturne put her things away huffily, having only just got her stuff out of her bag. She stood up, and put her bag on her back, hastily exiting the classroom and turning her hair a vivid pink with a pained gasp.

Chance sighed and stood up. This is how it always had been. Nothing could help him change this with the fact over half of his house was against him. thankful he had friends to support him from other houses. He picked up his stuff and got ready to leave.

"Wait." He said to Chance putting a hand on his shoulder firmly. "I need to ask you something." His eyes were grave but very serious. "Is it true...you used an unforgiveable on another student. I want to hear it from your own lips before I make any assumptions." He did not let go of the students shoulder but he did not press in an authoritative manner.

Chance stopped abruptly and turned. It's not like he didn't expect the professor not to know. Either why he didn't care. "Twice actually" He looked up before letting his gaze fall back on the professor. "Any particular reason why?"

"The reason will soon appear." He said as he removed his hand from Chance's shoulder. He stepped back and moved to let Chance by if he wanted to leave. He had no reason to make the boy feel uncomfortable.

Chance tried to move yet felt like he couldn't. He just leaned against the door way and sighed. What held him there he couldn't place just the fact leaving would be a reluctant decision.

Chance shrugged. "No its nothing. Though I must say it draws my attention to why you wanted to know about my use of the Cruciatus Curse." Something seemed at play. It was a feeling Chance hadn't felt for a long time. This was more like a renewal.

He chuckled and shook his head. "You better get going, you're going to be late to your next class." He turned and walked toward his office.
Ooc: I thought maybe this would help move toward the office thread we've already started. -shrugs-
