Carmondy
Meanwhile, Carmondy and Aaron (who had been sitting in front of Tonks) had jumped up in such a start, they accidentally turned over their table--spilling the contents of their cauldron all over the floor. Several students jumped out of the way so not to get in the path of the wildly spreading silvery liquid.
OCC: Finally, things are getting interesting ;-) Applause to Tonks :-D
Tonks, realizing what she had done, grabbed her hat and started to defend Carmody and her partner from being attacked by the giant pulsing luquid, beating at it, only to splatter it in every direction, causing the blob to seemingly get angrier. It seemed like ages for Professor Herring to get across the room to help, but by the time she did, her, Peter, Carmody, and another student were sealed shut in the liquid, heads poking out, while it dried to make a rubberish cover around them. Extremely uncomfortable, in an only slightly upside down position, Tonks felt the blood rushing into her head, making her eyes water. Carmody, Peter, and the other boy (Chris?) were looking equally upset.

ewww
OCC: no, the other boy is Aaron
Carmondy suddenly started laugh, getting strange looks from her fellow prisoners.
"Sorry," she hastily apoligized, "But this is funny."

Class dismissed early
Herring took in the full situation with a glance and stood on a nearby chair, saying loudly, "Detestor!!" as she waved her wand. The students were instantly freed as the rubbery stuff disappeared - some the other students instantly went to help them to their feet. Herring hurried to her desk and withdrew two large bars of chocolate and passed pieces out to the class, starting with the 4 who had been caught in the - stuff.
The tumult gradually subsided into general order, but by that time Herring was sitting at her desk, face in her hands. She looked up as things got quieter and took out her wand again, casting, in a weak voice, the same spell Narcissa had a few minutes previously. All the potions were held exactly as they were. "Class is dismissed early - we'll continue working on these the next time we meet," she said faintly. She hardly watched them leave, and as soon as everyone was gone, put her face in her hands again and this time didn't try to keep herself from tears.

Re: Carmondy
Tonks and Peter approached the desk, looking guilty. "Professor Herring, we hope we didn't upset you. We didn't mean to. I just started to panic. There goes my dreams of being an Auror." Tonks looked dismayed.

Carmondy
Carmondy bit her bottom lip in guilt and also walked up to the new professors desk,
"Um, do I still have detention then?"
Re: Class dismissed early
Kenneth, feeling sorry for the new teacher, headed for the door with the other students. Jessica had (finally) detached from him and gone to mingle with some girlfriends. Kenneth looked around for Thomas, and, spotting him, headed in his direction.

Re: Carmondy
"No no," Herring assured Tonks and her partner, "it was an accident, you're not at all to blame." She forced a tiny smile, trying to be reassuring. Her smile became a little more real with Carmondy's question. "Yes, Carmondy, you still have detention." Cecelia tried to tell them to go away tactfully, "You kids go enjoy your extra time between classes."

Re: Carmondy
"See you, Carmondy," Thomas said, slipping quickly away to meet Kenneth half way.

Severus tipped his book-bag over furtively, allowing the contents therein to spill out over the floor. He picked them up slowly, giving the rest of the students time to exit the dungeon. When it was empty he straightened, coughed to announce his presence, and threaded his way between cauldrons and potions frozen in the act of spilling onto the ground.
The Potions professor looked distinctly red around the eyes. Swaggering slightly, Severus knocked a box of tissues toward Herring with forced casualness. The box hit Herring's hand and she looked up, startled - she hadn't been aware that there were any students left.
"Hard class," Severus said with a sympathetic smirk. "None of them is worth a penny." Except me, he added to himself - but didn't say it. Herring knew it, anyway.

Carmondy
Carmondy gave a meek grin, "No matter how catastrophic a situation is, teachers never seem to forget that I have detention."
She shrugged, waved goodbye, and pranced out of the classroom.

Sympathy is nice, even if he's smirking. ;-)
Cecelia nodded bleakly and pulled several tissues from the box. She smiled - the effect was slighty grotesque, with her face all blotchy and red. "Thank you," she murmured, dabbing her eyes. "You seem to have a genius for Potions, Severus." She reached into her desk and got another two pieces of chocolate. Cecelia held one out in offering to Severus as she chewed.

Re: Class dismissed early
Severus ballooned with self-importance, and took the proffered chocolate.
"Thanks," he said. "Bye."
And, munching on chocolate, he swaggered from the dungeon.

Cecelia
Professor Herring looked after the 17 year old curiously. She'd kind of been trying to start a conversation since it seemed like he was going to insist on sticking around, but she wasn't going to complain about being left alone. Realizing she didn't feel much like crying, Cecelia stood and went into her office, carefully avoiding looking at the mess she'd have to clean up soon. She brightened a little though, thinking she could have Carmondy help out when she came for detention, and that she could make herself another cup of tea.

Re: Carmondy
Later, Professor Herring came out of her office again looking much better. She looked around the room dismally and took a sip of tea. Well, let's get cracking. She marched to her desk and set down her tea, then rolled up her sleeves. She took out some parchment and set about figuring out the counter-elixir for the ill-done, half-finished potion. She'd have to use good ol' Magical Algebra - balancing potion equations and what-not.
I hate math.
