Snape smirked as he saw all the faces sitting at their desks. It was obvious they did not know what they were in for this term. He lets his fingers rest together as he held his forefinger to his lips to let them scurry around finding their seats. He leaped up as the last one made their seat.
"Wands away, books away, I am going to review, and I want to see if your befuddled minds can comprehend what this simple elixir is that I am going to be brewing today. There is no need to look at one another, your eyes should be ever forward and one me." His voice dripped venom as he said this quickly and loudly. His eyes crawled over each student as he moved a dark cloth from his desk. Under the cloth was several ingredients. Professor Snape moved to the side to allow what little light was in the dungeon to fall upon the assortment. He turned swiftly and lit the fire under his cauldron.
Tilting his head he ran his fingers across the ingredients. The class could see piles of knotwood, bicorn horn, lacewing flies, leeches, and even the icky brownness of a boomslang skin. He swept to the side and crossed his arms into the folds of his robe sleeves. He looked down his nose to those present and sighed heavily.
He was sure that no one would even venture a guess at to what he could be making. In order to give them a small hint, Professor Snape reached a hand slowly out, extending it to the end of his arm, and bent his elbow. With one swift motion he pulled out one of his own long hairs, and let it drop to the work table.
Glancing back to the class he sighed again, "It is obvious that none of you have bothered to read your workbooks, so I am going to assume that no one knows what I am preparing here. Please? Anyone venture a guess?" His eyes crawled over the students as he stepped back, hands now in his own robe sleeves, arms across his chest.
~OOC~ Okay, now is your turn. Feel free to role play answering, guessing, or reacting to the Professor in any way you see fit. I am going to be looking for creativity, and remember, not every can be right all the time. Enjoy!
