”An excellent question Miss Hawthorne, ten points to Hufflepuff. Alchemy, in its pure philosophical state, is an ideal belief of life. It’s a search for what is known as the quintessence, which, you will learn more in depth next year in class. But for now, I'll give you this. Practical alchemy is what you learn in class, here, everyday,

“However, the quintessence is what can be known as the “fifth element,” it is this mysterious substance that is famed for miraculous powers, including but not limited to, granting longevity, transforming base metals to gold, and of course, curing all diseases, like I’m sure you’ve heard me repeat a hundred times,

“But the difference is that the Philosopher’s Stone is essentially the creation of the fifth element, which requires the make-up of salt, sulfur, and mercury, an embodiment of all things under the sun in the form of three substances. That stone, like I mentioned, is the practical side that Flamel and Dumbledore accomplished, what most people don’t know is that with the creation of that Philosopher’s Stone, they also created a material, I guess you could call, Heaven.

“Philosophically, the quintessence is so important is because it is the fifth element with which the alchemists could work. It’s the essential presence of something or someone, the living thing itself that’s animated or gave something its deepest characteristics. The Quintessence partakes of both the Above and the Below, the mental as well as the material. It can be thought of as the ethereal embodiment of the life force that we encounter in dreams and altered states of consciousness. It is the purest individual essence of something that we must unveil and understand in order to transform it.

“In short, to discover the true meaning and quintessence of life, it means you’ve very well just found Heaven on Earth with a complete understanding of….. the essence of everything really.

“The only reason the Flamel family didn’t truly flourish in that discovery of the Philsopher’s Stone was because they choose to use its power for selfish reasons, so, even if one could discover and create it, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they’ll get to use it to its full extent, either, which is exactly why Albus Dumbledore only helped to create it, and not take part in its work.… Does that help answer your question?”

”Take out your notes, today, we will be learning about Albus Dumbledore.

“Albus Dumbledore was a great man. He was one of the most loved Headmaster’s at Hogwarts, was a member of the Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorcerer—served as Supreme Mugwump of of the International Confederation of Wizards and as Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot. He is most famous for his defeat of Gellert Grindelwald, the discovery of the twelve uses of dragons blood, and his work on alchemy with Nicholas Flamel in constructing the Philosopher’s Stone.

“Now, is there anything else anyone can tell me about Albus Dumbledore?”

Shina entered the classroom and quickly got her supplies out. Predictably enough, Shina's hand went up when the professor asked about Dumbledore. "Albus Dumbledore was rumored to be the only man the dark wizard Voldemort, born Tom Marvolo Riddle, feared. While Harry Potter was the wizard who defeated Voldemort, Dumbledore was instrumental in leading the resistance against Voldemort during Voldemort's first and second rises to power," Shina said.

”Very good, and very true, ten points to Ravenclaw,” Professor Angel nodded with his usual bright smile alit on his features as he proceeded to carry on, and, every word out of his mouth inscribed itself on the board behind him in case he ever spoke too quickly for note takers. ”Albus Dumbledore was a truly brilliant man. He was a transfigurations professor here at Hogwarts before moving on as Headmaster, he also served as Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards and Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot.

“A half-blood wizard, he was the son of Percival and Kendra Dumbledore, and the elder brother of Aberforth and Ariana. His father died in Azkaban while he was young, and his mother and sister were later accidentally killed. These early losses affected him greatly and helped shape him into a better person.

“He was considered to be the most powerful wizard of his time and was most famous for his defeat of Gellert Grindelwald, his discovery of the twelve uses of dragons blood, his work on alchemy with Nicholas Flamel, and, the eventual downfall of Voldemort. It was he that founded and led the first and second Order of the Phoenix, and even after his death, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Mrs. Granger often recounted of each and every one of Dumbledore’s little “stepping stones” he laid out for them along the way.

“He was considered one of the greatest Headmasters to ever shine in Hogwarts, and is the only Headmaster buried on school grounds. He had always known that the true power of magic lay sorely with love and that no other magic can defeat it; he knew that every curse could be broken with love and laughter, and it’s true. The effects of a dementor, a foul, wicked and insidious creature, can be healed with chocolate, and boggarts are held at bay with laughter. It’s the one thing that Dumbledore valued above all else and it was said that he could, always, by any means and even to the smallest extent, find good in a person…

“Knowing that alone is detrimental to ever acquiring what is known as the quintessence, which, for now, can simply be explained as a “Heaven on Earth,” but, you’ll learn about that in your Seventh Year if you choose to embark on your NEWTS for this class.

"Next class, we'll begin learning spells again.”

The professor entered the classroom hastily, his clock had ran several minutes late, thus, making the professor himself late, but not by too much. The Hispanic man carried himself diligently to the front of the classroom and examined each desk which contained a basin of murky brown water, and with a simple wave of his wand, the familiar script of Juan Angel Amorocho scribbled upon the board with instructions and information over a spell to be learned this class. ”Welcome back students,

“Now, today, we’re going to learn the spell, delbou, which can purify any amount of water with impurities to make it drinkable, the amount, of course, is dependent upon the casters ability and spirit. Concentration is very important, along with pronunciation, say it with me, del-BUE, and remember, just a simple gesture as you point your wand at the target.. Now, turn to the basins of water at your desk and give it a go.”

Quote:

Name of the spell Delbou
Pronunciation of the spell Del-BUE
Meaning behind the name Dealbo meaning: to purify, whitewash
Effects of the spell This spell purifies water of any impurites making it drinkable
Wand movements required to perform properly: Concentration is key; with a gentle gesture, point the tip of the wand towards the body of water
Is there a distance requirement? Must be within several feet
Are the effects lasting? It is long-lasting, unless other factors are added (ex: pollution)

ℋeather walked into Alchemy class once again, excited for the promise of spell-learning today. At her desk was a basin of water. Peering inside, she found it to be brown and murky. "Gross..." she muttered before taking her seat. Finding space on her desk, she wrote down the notes on the new spell and took out her wand. Pointing it at the basin, she recited the spell. Nothing happened. Trying again, and again, she finally sighed. "Delbou." The water cleared up, and Heather nodded at her success. This spell would be useful in the future. She could already tell.

Amanda narrowed her eyes onto the basin of water on her desk. "That's utterly disgusting," she muttered under her breath. The water was brown and murky. "Delbou." The murkiness disappeared and turned into a crystal clear liquid, which by her guess was purified water.

Entering the classroom with long, swift strides, a callous and purposeful flick of his wand had led the instructions of a potion to appear on his chalkboard. He smiled mischeviously as he glanced at each of his students. "Good afternoon class, today, we're going to learn the Mystic Potion, a great diversion, and also a brilliant learning potion to access patience and understand Galpolatt's laws and different methods of brewing in alchemical history. This potion is most famous for it's disruption of the Wizards' Council while Elfrida Clagg was Cheiftainess. She attempted the merge all creatures of wizarding kind that could speak the human tongue to Being status, and, when an uproar came about of the trolls, a dear friend of hers, Aubreyanna Mae, who made quite an impact on alchemy, quickly ended the sour meeting.

"Now, instead of turning this potion into me once you're done, I've set up an open area in the back of my classroom for you to test out your potions to see if it's been brewed correctly. We'll only be using the small vials for this, so the explosion will be minor, but, you'll be able to see which element will be easier for you to harness in magic."

Quote:

: Mystic Potion- The potion acts a shield of mist contained in a vial and is explosive upon impact which manifests a wall of mist to recreate one of the four elements: the essence of either water, fire, earth, or wind, dependent upon the witch or wizard who brewed the potion.

One Stop Watch
2 tsp Acromantula venom
½ jigger Black beetle eyes
1 cup Doxy eggs
¾ tbs Powdered Romanian Longhorn dragon horn
5 ½ fl. oz. Erumpent Fluid
3 liters Murtlap Essence
¼ gallon Flubberworm Mucus
2 ½ cups of shredded Ginger Roots
¼ cup essence of Lovage
4 cups Pomegranate Juice
7 Pufferfish Eyes
1 gallon water
1. Add one gallon of water to cauldron and set to boil.
2. Combine two cups of pomegranate juice and the powdered Romanian Longhorn dragon horn in a separate basin, and stir gently.
3. Waiting exactly five minutes in between, add half of a single fluid ounce of Erumpent fluid, at a time, to the mixture of pomegranate juice and powdered dragon horn, there should be eleven total instances in which Erumpent Fluid added. Severe caution should be taken during this step, or the basin may melt, or explode.
4. Add the mixture of pomegranate, powdered dragon horn, and Erumpent fluid to the cauldron; let contents boil for approximately five minutes, and then add the final two cups of pomegranate juice turning the contents a deep lavender color.
5. Add one cup of doxy eggs to the cauldron, if the mixture is done correctly, the eggs should float. Stir in eggs counterclockwise until they sink to the bottom.
6. Combine half a jigger of black beetle eyes with three liters of murtlap essence in a separate basin, and once the eyes have dissolved, add to the cauldron.
7. To thicken the mixture, combine a quarter of a gallon of flubberworm mucus, stirring clockwise for one minute, and counterclockwise the next minute, and continue this cycle until the mixture thickens to a lilac color.
8. Slice each pufferfish eye in half through the use of the severing charm, and then drop each half eye into the cauldron, one at a time.
9. Stir in two teaspoons of acromantula venom.
Add remaining essence of lovage and ginger roots to the cauldron, a pink smoke will emit for several moments, stir the concoction with your wand and it should generously begin changing colors until it settles into a thick indigo paste once it cools.

First Lesson: Nicholas Flamel
╚══════════════╝

”Welcome back students, I hope you had an excellent summer. This year we’re going to dive right back in with a lecture about one of the greatest alchemists in history—Nicholas Flamel. If you’re new, or if you don’t remember me, my name is Professor Angel. If you haven’t already, take out your notebook or parchment and quill and begin taking notes.

“The famed alchemist Nicolas Flamel, born in the 1327, created the only known Philosopher's Stone in existence. Flamel used the Elixir of Life made from the stone to extend his and his wife, Perenelle's, lifespan for centuries until they decided to destroy the stone in 1992, where the couple soon died afterwards.

“The Philosopher's Stone was a man-made, blood-red stone with magical properties. It could be used to create the Elixir of Life, which extended the drinker's lifespan, as well as transform any metal into pure gold. The Philosopher's Stone was believed to mystically amplify the user's knowledge of alchemy so much that anything was attainable.

“You should remember from last year, the stone was finally found within Hogwarts School by Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort, after a series of trials and tasks set by the professors, Mister Harry Potter saved the stone and returned it to Dumbledore where he and Nicholas Flamel decided to destroy it.

“Nicholas Flamel had always been an alchemist that believed in the true pursuit of enlightenment, because alchemy is not only a practical magic, it’s also a philosophy. Now, does anyone have any questions?” The Hispanic professor inquired, glancing about his students and their scribbling quills.

Adalaide entered the classroom quietly and noticed that, once again, she was the first to arrive, and sighed a bit before taking a seat towards the middle of the room. She took out her supplies and smiled when the professor immediately began the lecture, rather than making them introduce themselves and, God forbid, tell the class 'something interesting' about themselves. She hated that... and she had these kids in all the same classes. Well, this one was missing a few, since it was an elective, but still. She thought about who was taking this... last year she remembered her, Michelle and Damien were all in it. Like those guys didn't already know all the interesting things about her. How many could there be? She smiled again since she didn't have to do that in this lesson and started taking her notes. She liked this class. It was something different every day, a potion one day and a spell the next. And sometimes just a lecture, like today. It was interesting. And relaxing, actually.

Damien's expression stayed neutral when he came in the room, noticing that Ada was the only other student present. He sighed a bit. It wasn't that he had anything against the Hufflepuff, not anymore, but... he didn't know how he felt about sitting with her. He'd need to get used to it, though. She was friends with Marina. From what he'd been told, she was one of the friends who'd convinced Marina to go for it with him instead of staying mad and ignoring him. He sort of owed her. But, after all this time, with their history, he didn't know how to bridge that gap, especially not with Marina there as a buffer. He sighed again, and offer the girl a smile before sitting a couple seats away from her. It might not be much... but it was a start. He took his parchment and quill out to take notes.

¤¤¤¤¤¤Michelle ghosted into class as silent as ever. She blinked and almost rolled her eyes. A lecture? She would be dead of boredom by the end of the period. Quickly she took a seat next to Ada, and her eyes darted to Damien before settling on the piece of parchment she had pulled out to take notes on. She blinked down at the blank paper and then shrugged and leaned back in her chair as the professor began to speak. She knew if she needed it, Ada would let her borrow her notes.

Cameron was somewhat glad that this professor didn't ask any questions or start review. Instead, he jumped straight into the lesson. Quickly, Cameron pulled out a piece of parchment and scribble down notes.

His inquisitive gaze settled upon each and every student as they filed in through the door and obligingly set to copying down the notes for the lesson of the day. He smiled softly at the scribble of quills against parchment and lingered there in silence while he awaited his students to catch up to him. Now, he found himself seated upon the top of his desk as a slow smile crept on his face. ”Well, it seems we’ve finished this lesson early, how about a little game for house points?

“Tell me one fact, or show me one spell, that you remember from last year, or that has anything to do with alchemy or Nicholas Flamel.”
