MARAUDERS.
Chapter 42.
╚═══════✧₊∘╝

The castle begins to ramp up with their studies to pass their end of year exams.

Professor Lupin frequently leads the class in hands on approaches to battling dark creatures, whenever he isn't off sick, which makes Mattheo worried about his favourite professor.

Professor Sprout has the students tending to Chinese Chomping Cabbage, which leads to know fewer than five bad bites on students. Two of which are on Theodore's hand, and a detention is given out when Theodore drop kicks a cabbage through the classroom.

McGonagall gives out the most work by having the students performing switching spells with an exam-level time limit. Neville accidentally turns Goyle's feet into trotters.

And, Snape is having his students create the most dangerous potions they can for their skills levels.

"The Memory potion is designed to improve a drinker's mental cognition. Allowing them access to long-dormant memories" Snape tutors the class.

Mattheo and Draco aren't paying attention, and instead are flicking paper triangles at one and other through their fingers. Lorenzo and Theodore are throwing whatever nearest random ingredient into the cauldron to see what they can make. Iris is drawing pretty patterns on Artemis' hand with her pen, and the only ones that seem to be listening are Artemis, Tom and Frey.

Artemis and Tom are furiously taking notes. They will never admit why, that they want to outshine the other when it comes to the end of year exams. The competition between the two of them is their greatest form of communication.

"抖阴社区 as many notes as you want, Little Bird, I will be the one that is victorious" Tom isn't ashamed to flaunt his self-perceived mental advantage over Artemis.

"One might consider you as competition if you did not talk so much" Artemis offers to him. "I fear you may be trying to psyche me out because you don't have the academic chops to keep up" Artemis offers back to the boy. She looks over to him, while her hand furiously moves and takes notes.

Tom smirks back to her. "Think about my 'academic chops' a lot do you?" He asks of the girl.

"One has to admire something so small" she mocks him.

It is no surprise to Snape that Artemis and Tom are the only ones of his students that listen to his lectures on intermediate potions. It is a slight surprise to see that Frey is also paying full attention to the Memory Potion.

Snape lists off the ingredients and method to make the potion. "You have an hour left of the lesson. That should be ample time to prepare you ingredients for Thursdays double lesson" Snape barks at the students. "Berkshire, Nott, if I see smoke coming out of one more of your cauldrons this year then I will be feeding your mixture to that pet rat!" Snape thunders when he spots the two of them preparing to mix together the pretty coloured liquids.

"Fuck" Lorenzo curses.

"Any idea how to clean all of this out" Theodore asks of Lorenzo. Whatever they've mixed together seems to be eroding away the coating on their cauldron.

Artemis and Tom begin to prepare their ingredients. "I will take the material ingredients, if you wish to mix together the liquids?" Tom asks Artemis casually.
