Hallie's pov.
It was now 9:00 and we were heading to Potions class. We had decided to meet Blair there. We walked in and sure enough, Blair was sitting with her feet propped up on the desk. Our teacher was standing at the front of the room watching everyone fill in. "Greetings to all, and welcome to Potions 101! My name is Castiel!" He enthused as soon as we had taken our seats. "A potion is defined as a magical mixture that combines both magical and mundane ingredients. These effects vary drastically, however, from aiding headaches to increasing energy, causing a part of the body to swell, changing eye color or appearance, and even providing strong psychological and poisoning effects. One can even achieve peaceful sleep and emulate true death with a potion. "while some potions can take only twenty minutes to brew, others can take more than twenty-four hours in total. I say from experience those are, without exaggeration, the worst." The class laughed, even Blair who still had her feet on the table. "It is important to note that only a Witch or Wizard should ever ingest or apply a potion, regardless of the circumstances. Muggle exposure to Potions causes unusual and often deadly reactions. Before the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy of 1689, certain Magical and non-Magical communities lived in close proximity and in some cases, magical people even held places of high esteem. Some civilizations even deemed magical beings to be descended from gods." He continued, "The term "Snake Oil Salesman" still applies to those Muggles who sell goods with false information about their effectiveness, particularly "Cure-All" liquid remedies of no use. The long separation from magic may have caused what little tolerance Muggles had to potions to fade. The human body tends to work in this fashion: it adapts to things it experiences regularly while growing intolerant to things it has not experienced ever in its lifetime or a few generations. Some think that certain allergies in both magical and non-magical people may be related to this in some fashion. Now that I went over the dull stuff tomorrow we begin with some fun!"
