Professor Priya stood up in front of her desk she was pacing the ground. She was awaiting her seventh years. These were the ones that stuck with potions through all their years at Hogwarts and were hopefully getting better at it or were the best.
The clock showed that class was soon to begin as the class came into the room "Good morning Seventh Years" She said not flashing a smile. She walked across the room almost pacing still. Her high heeled boots clicked on the ground. Click Click Click "This year is basically a review of what had happened the rest of the years" She explained Click Click Click Click.
Professor Priya stopped in front of the white board and tapped it with her wand. The following appeared.

"This" She began "Is what we learned first year." Professor Priya said "Let us start from lesson one. If you don't know everyone's name by now I fear for you intellengence" Professor Priya said
"Now nettles and queerditch marsh. Nettles are used in the boil cure potion which we will get to in a minute. They are also gathered at the Queerditch Marsh. This is a very interesting place actually. " Professor Priya walked over to her desk. Click Click and grabbed a book. She opened to the page and began to read "Eight hundred years ago, a group of witches and wizards used an damp stretch of nettle-filled ground called Queerditch Marsh as a place to play a new game they had invented. This game involved broomsticks and a "big leather ball." Soon they added a couple of heavy rocks, bewitched to try to knock players off their brooms. The whole business was observed by a witch named Gertie Keddle who wrote about what she saw, in badly spelled Saxon, in her diary.
Over the centuries that followed, the sport evolved and changed, and though the spelling of its name changed, it was always a homage to its birthplace. Eventually "Queerditch" became "Quidditch" and all but took over the wizarding world. Queerditch Marsh itself has since been made Unplottable, and Gertie Keddle's diary is now in the Museum of Quidditch in London . "
Professor Priya placed the book down. "See how things work out like that" She went on. "Lesson Three first year was on bulbadox powder, furnunculus, and wartcap powder" She paused "Now those are just items that cause boils on the victims' skin. This is where the boil cure potion is needed." she continued as she glanced up at the time.
"asphodel is traditionally associated with the afterlife and the underworld. wormwood is a symbol of bitterness. All ingredients in the Draught of the living dead" Professor Priya explained. "now for the rest of the period I want you to write a short paper on either the Draught of the Living Dead or the Boil Cure Potion" Professor Priya said "Make sure to have it done by next week." Professor Priya said after she went to sit down.
