#01 - MIra's magic school 🔮

Last year our school introduced a new school subject: Cauldron Pottery.

This class combines the art of pottery with the magical world of potion-making. In this subject students learn how to create their own cauldrons and potion pots. And the best part: Each student can add special magical properties to his or her own pot.

In a cozy, sunny pottery classroom, students gather around their workstations. The room is usually filled with the sound of pottery wheels and the singing of magical creatures flying around. House elves float around the classroom and are helping students with their pottery projects.

Our pottery teacher is Miss Claymore. She is a kind and clever witch who loves both, both pottery and potions. She always reminds us: "Remember, the key to a successful cauldron is not just in its shape, but in the magic you add into it."

All this sounds like a lot of fun, but creating your very own cauldron is also a lot of work. It takes more than 20 weeks, so nearly 5 months, until your cauldron is finished. Sometimes we have to stay up late because the best time to form your pot is during a full moon. Yesterday a student fell asleep and hit his head on the table.

All students shape their pots and cauldrons, but at the end you add your very own magical touch. Some cauldrons start glowing, while others are marked with symbols. Some students also add heart symbols. They say this helps to brew stronger love potions!

At the end of the semester, Professor Claymore usually gathers the students around one bubbling cauldron and says: "You've all done wonderfull. Don't forget: the magic you put into your creations will always be a part of you. Keep practicing, and who knows what incredible potions you'll brew in your very own cauldrons." The students then leave the classroom, in their hands carrying their magical creations.
