Alexis quickly wrote down rabbit heart strings, dandelion juice, dragon eyes, and tea dregs and slipped the paper in front of Kara with a grin.
"I think we are also supposed to study aging potions too."

Kara took the piece of paper and recited the ingredients out loud. "Thanks Alexis you rock." She replied with a laugh.
Carlisle laughed and shook his head. "Okay Kara, what is the purpose of the shrieking potion? And good job Alexis. Name me the ingredients of making one." He asked feeling like a teacher. But he didn't mind. Anything to help his two friends.
Kara shrugged after a few seconds. "To scare the crap out of someone...I don't know." She replied as Carlisle struggled not to laugh.
"Be serious Kara. Okay Kare Bear tell me about Polyjuice Potion and the other related potions that deal with changing into an animal or someone else." Carlisle said to them both.

"Why do I need to name off the ingredients when Kara just said them Carlisle?" Alexis asked him.
"Wait, with pollyjuice potion you can't change into an animal, it's only for human transformations. No animals, or half breeds."

Carlisle glanced over at Alexis and then grinned innocently at him. "Well so you can start memorizing it in your head for when you don't have Kara or me next to you during the test. But good point. Sorry." He said.
Kara began laughing. "Wow he's never been questioned like that! Alexis you are now my best friend in the whole entire world...well besides Ethan." She replied laughing.
Carlisle rolled his eyes and threw a piece of parchment at Kara. "Shut it Kara, okay. Tell me about Polyjuice Potion. And good you caught it Alexis. You're right, you can't change into an animal. Alexis what's the difference between an Animagus (ooc: think that's spelled right I dunno) and a werewolf?" He asked her curiously as Kara began searching through her book.

Alexis beamed at Kara. "Thanks Kara! I have to say right now your my second favorite person, if Carlisle wasn't here, I don't know what I would do!" Alexis had to think about the differences between an animagus and a werewolf. "Well, I believe an animagus has the power to willingly change into an animal of their choosing, whatever they chose when they registered to become an animagus, and a werewolf is forced to change by the moon." (ooc: It's spelled right, I looked )

Carlisle shook his head at the two girls and then realized Alexis was talking about him being her favorite person. "What? I'm really your favorite person at the moment? Thank you Alexis. That's so kind." He said with a grateful smile.
Kara rolled her eyes. "You do realize that he'll be talking about this for weeks Alexis." She replied with a snort.
Carlisle rolled his eyes. "Polyjuice Potion Kara...without reading your textbook." He said looking at her sternly.
"Crap..." Kara muttered as she glanced up from her book. "Uhh Polyjuice potion is a really hard potion that, with pieces of hair from another person allows you to become that person for one hour. It takes a long time to brew mainly because of the ingredients. While it can account for both age and gender, Polyjuice Potion cannot be used for a human to take an animal form or for a half-breed to assume human form. The ingredients are 12 Lacewing fliesm, 1 oz. crude Antimony, 4 Leeches, 16 scruples of Fluxweed,3 drachms of Sal Ammoniac (crystalized ammonia, made liquid), 15 Knotgrass,1 pinch of powdered horn of a bicorn (lunar extracted), Shredded skin of Boomslang,Filings and rasplings of Salpeter, Mercury and Mars and the DNA of the person." Kara replied confidently.
Carlisle stared at her amazed. "Wonderful Kara. Alexis, anything else you would like to add about Polyjuice Potion?" He asked her.

Alexis beamed at Carlisle. "Your too sweet."
Alexis was nodding her head with what Kara was saying, it sounded perfect to her. "Um, I think it's really uncomfortable to change, I believe it hurts." Alexis said shrugging her shoulders.

Carlisle beamed with pride. "Yes I am sweet, hear that Kara!" He exclaimed with a laugh.
Kara rolled her eyes and groaned. "Thanks alot Alexis." She replied sarcastically with a laugh.
Carlisle stuck his tongue out at her playfully. "Okay you're right it does hurt. Alexis what is Amortentia and tell me about it. I'll give you a second to look it up. Kara what is Vertiaserum?" He asked her.
Kara thought about that for a second. "Oh! It's a potion that forces you to tell the truth." She replied.
Carlisle nodded. "Good...Alexis you ready?" He asked her curiously.

Alexis looked up from her book. "It's a love potion. You can tell it from it's mother-of-pearl coloring, and the steam rising in circles. It smells different to each person. To me it smells like saltwater, a forest and cinnamon. What about you guys?" Alexis asked.
She had a big smile on her face waiting for their answers.

Kara thought about that for a second. "I've never smelled it. I think that was the day I missed Potions because of my ankle injury and spent time up in the Hospital Wing. That's how Ethan and I met you know." She said winking at Alexis.
Carlisle rolled his eyes. "I believe that Ethan is not on this test Kara. Be serious. Wait...did you say you missed Potions class? I can't believe Snape didn't give you detention." He asked shocked.
"No Madame Pomfrey excused me from his class for the day. It was really cool. Anyways have you smelled it Carlisle?" Kara asked.
"Yes I have, it smelled a bit like Alexis', but only paprika instead of cinnamon. Good job you two. What is gillyweed and its function? (ooc: I think I spelled that wrong)" Carlisle asked Alexis and Kara.
"Oooh wait remember when Harry Potter was in the Triwizard Tournament our 4th year? He used that to do the second task. I saw Neville Longbottom sneaking it out of Snape's office. You swallow it and it allows you to breathe underwater for an hour." Kara replied.
"Good, but it changes your body. How Alexis?" Carlisle asked her.

(ooc: it was Neville in the movie, but Dobby in the book, and yes it's spelled right)
Alexis had to think back to their fourth year. She had been right there and watched him change, but how? Then it hit her.
"Oh I remember! You get these gills on the side of her neck, and you get webs inbetween your toes. I think I remember reading sonewhere once that it last's about an hour, but some herbologists argue weather it works better in salt water or fresh water." Alexis said diving into her bag and getting her herbology book out to look and see if she was right.

(ooc: Sweet!! I know that's a bit of herbology in there, but Snape had it in his closet so I figured why not lol)
Carlisle nodded. "You're right Alexis. It looks like worms if you ever get the chance to look at it." He said as he flipped another page in the Potions book.
"Lovely." Kara said with a laugh.
Carlisle rolled his eyes ignoring his good friend for the moment. "Okay review everything we've just talked about and see if you have any questions for me. I'm pretty sure that's everything on this exam. Correct me if I am wrong. The Charms exam is coming up too so I've been studying for that too." He replied running his hand through his thick, curly hair.

"Well, I think I'm all caught up." Alexis said nodding her head. She looked over at Kara. "What about you Kara? I could go for some charms update. I could use some help in that department." She said with a smile.
She reached in her bag and got her charms book out.

Kara looked up when Alexis acknowledged her. "I'm pretty good to go too. Don't be surprised if I see you before class and ask you what something means. I tend to forget stuff sometimes." She said with a laugh.
"You're telling me. Trust me Alexis she's right....ow Kara!" He said before yelping as he felt an electric shock throughout his body. Kara looked at him innocently.
"Hey! I didn't do anything!" Kara exclaimed .
Carlisle raised an eyebrow, "Sure you didn't." He commented sarcastically.
"Stop being a jerk and help Alexis with Charms. I don't have that class so I'll keep reviewing for Potions. Alexis tell him to stop being a jerk and help you please." Kara said with a laugh.
Carlisle threw a pillow at Kara who caught it immediately.
"Nice try, but when you have a Quidditch player for a boyfriend, you tend to pick up on things more. See watch." Kara replied as she hurled the pillow back at Carlisle and it landed on his Charms book.
"Yeah yeah, anyways Alexis okay what can I help you with in Charms? I've seen you in class and you're quite good." Carlisle asked her curiously.

Alexis laughed. "Carlisle your making me blush." Alexis said putting her hands up to her face pretending to blush.
"Actually," Alexis said looking at her charms book. "I think I'm okay in that class. I was working on a charm before, but I got it, finally."
Alexis realized something that she shouldn't be thinking. She turned to look at Kara, but couldn't tell her yet. Maybe Kara would see that Alexis had something on her mind, she smiled at Kara.
