Cass leaned back in her seat as class seemed to drag on for hours, rolling her quill between her fingers before turning ever so slightly to look at her tablemate, TJ, out of her peripherals.
She couldn't remember ever being this bored in her life - no more staying up late and reading ahead, it just left her uninterested during class.
"So, if you'll all fill your cauldrons and get to work -" she heard from the front, immediately sitting upright and sighing in relief. Finally, some actual potions making. She glanced at TJ and smirked.
"Dibs out on getting ingredients."

Tj was boredly writing out the notes for the days lesson letting out a sigh of relief when they actually were going to be working on a potion rather than writing, he dropped his quill taking a breath and groaned stretching his arms out in the air only after that did he turn to look at Cass, he wasn't even fooling himself he knew he was going to go get the ingredients for her, he would probably do anything for her. acting as if it was a huge inconvenience he let out a longer sigh than necessary, he gave her a look then rose to his feet to go and fetch the supplies from the prof at the front of the classroom

She smiled somewhat smugly as he walked away, reaching for the decanter of water at the edge of the desk and pouring it into the cauldron as she waited, dipping down to light the fire beneath it. Their on-again-off-again friendship wasn't nearly as irritating or inconvenient as she liked to pretend that it was, in fact, there was something particularly empowering about having the boy that everyone in their year seemed to drool over chasing after her, no matter how often she shut him down or pretended to be uninterested. She'd admit: it was fun. "You can mix," she offered, when he returned, already reaching for the first of the various bottles and jars he was holding to begin measuring.

Tj returned with the ingredients setting them down gently and shrugged "fine by me" he took the spoon and gently tapped the spoon on his desk while he waited , his fingers tapped to the beat he was creating on his desk, when Cass looked over at him he flashed her a cheesy grin "yessssssssss?"

"You're being annoying." She informed him, as though letting him know his shoe was untied or that he had something on his face. She pushed her seat back so she could sink down and crouch, at eye-level with the desk to smooth off the top of a small dish of powdered dehydrated rose. The scent floated up to her and made her relax, if only a little, sighing and tipping the properly measured amount into the nearest small dish.
"Wait until I get the sea water out. They have to go in at the same time." she instructed, enveloping herself in her work for a few moments.

"I'm sooooooo sorry" Tj rolled his eyes affectionately then nodded along to her instructions following them he may have been a goof but his mother was Ashley Godfrey good grades was in his blood "got it" grinning proudly when they executed the step correctly he looked down at his book for the next step while one hand stirred the potion.

She watched him read for a moment, smiling a tiny bit. He was smarter than some of his goon quidditch friends - she liked this side of him better. Not that he was two-faced, by any means, there was just a time and a place for each part of his personality to be useful.
"Here." Her voice was softer than before when she handed him the next ingredient, calmer, and kinder.

Tj smiled at her tone and gladly did what he was told once again only to have it ruined by his friends who made obvious and suggestive gestures behind Cass, he frowned and shook his head at them hoping that she didn't notice.

She glanced back, if only for a second, rolling her eyes and looking back at her book again. She was able to separate his behaviour from his friends'. Still, though, it irritated her. She knew better than to take it out on him, though. Kevin, the ghost that had taken a strong liking to her, usually took care of the idiots that bothered her, anyway.
"This one." She held another vial out to him, reaching for the next one & measuring it carefully once more. Potions was one of her better classes - but it was the ingredients that excited her more than the mixing. Each component had it's own use in so many different ways & it fascinated her to no end.

T.J rolled his eyes at his friends when he saw that she noticed , leaning in closer he whispered " just ignore them, I do" half-smiling he followed the next step then glanced back at her eyes wide and looking for a approval.

She looked up at him for a moment, her eyes locking on his with a distinct curiosity before she lowered her gaze to the ingredients again.
"These, at the same time." She handed him the last two ingredients. "Then switch to counter clockwise for the next eight turns."

T.J nodded finishing up the potion, a pride filled grin grew on his face "done" nodding once he leaned back in his chair with his feet on the desk looking please "brilliant" his eyes wandered around the room curious who else had finished half the class had yet to finish.

She did the same, subtly, wondering if they were ahead or not. Standing back upright, she put the lid back onto the cauldron to let it simmer and settled into her own seat, reaching for her textbook and snapping it shut on the desk. This class was easy - almost too easy. Bordering on boring.

T.J glanced over at her a slight smirk forming, gently nudging her with his elbow he grinned cheekily "hey, nerd , what are you doing after class?"

She blushed, noticably - she usually tried to get a better handle on it, than that.
"Sleeping." she lied, "I'm exhausted. What're you doing?" It was more conversational than real curiosity. She had her ministry apprentice papers to work on - she'd filled out the basic application and gotten her references in, but the entry essay was stumping her.
