Status: In progress, open.


Under different circumstances Severus would be excited beyond words could express to be brewing potions again. The lack of the ability to just light up a cauldron and start tossing in ingredients just to see what he came up with had worn on him in a way he couldn't fully appreciate at the moment, thanks to that wonderful little demon addition to this place. But finally, thankfully, that was all about to change.

Severus had decided to go up to the roof of building A as soon as Ms. Matthews said that was where they were going to be using that space to concoct Barbas's supposed demise - Severus was more than a bit apprehensive to the 'until' Ms. Matthews had brought up in her explanation of the ingredients and their properties. But this was better than doing nothing, Severus had tried that, and it clearly did not work as he would have liked. Not to mention the display of potion brewing implements that met Severus's eyes when he stepped out on the roof instantly made this whole possibly useless enterprise entirely worth it.

Why had no one told him about this! (of course there was good reason, no one really liked to talk to him, and it wasn't as if he encouraged such communication, but still!)

Cauldrons on a table that was the perfect waist height, mortars, weights and measures, knives and cutting boards aplenty. Severus could almost cry for joy, it was so beautiful. He walked around the table once, the sleep deprivation giving the vision before him a wonderful glow. The only thing missing was the ingredients, if it wasn't for their lack Severus would start without the other.

As difficult as it was for Severus to wait for the others to show up it was heartening to know it might not be long before he could sleep again. And besides, there was nothing stopping him from making sure all the instruments were up to par, a task he set to as quickly as possible.


[OOC: I guess by way of explanation, Severus is by no means the leader in all this, I was just asked by the lovely Jessy to get this thread up to start the plot to take care of Barbas. Everyone is free to jump in, start your own threads for the potion making aspect of this plot, go crazy folks - it's brewing time.
