So intent was his focus on AJ that Adi failed to notice he was about to practically sit on Ilia. It wasn’t until he accidentally brushed his upper arm against her as she got up that he looked around. “Ilia!’’ He looked down at her belonging s on the desk. Woops. It seemed as though it were his friend’s desk he was snagging. “Sorry, I hadn’t realised you were sitting here.’’ If he had, he would have asked her permission but she seemed to figure out why he was unceremoniously butting in. And yet… she was giving him a present “Thanks a ton, Ilia!’’ He grinned at the Snakette, wondering what she had gotten him. There seemed to be an awful lot of things under that wrapping. Man, this was turning out to be a memorable birthday! Adi watched Ilia go to take over his old seat next to Henric. Now he didn’t feel so bad about ditching his friend.

With AJ seemingly back to normal, Adi relaxed a whole lot. He wouldn't show it because AJ hated anyone to be fussy over her even if the person was him. But he couldn't help it. She was one of the persons he cared the most about. And the House points didn't matter. They all lost the same amount of points so it's not like the lead was going to change even if the Lions lost and extra five.

Anywayyy, Adi set Ilia's wrapped gift neatly to the side of the table, poking it slightly. Man, he was SUPER CURIOUS to know what was so squishy in there. Buuuuut the part of the lesson he was most looking forward to was starting! WOOT! And seeeeeeeee? He had been right! It was the Wolfsbane Potion they were focusing on!

Why was Culloden looking at him like that? Adi had this potion down, no biggie. Yup! He was THAT confident. It was always best to be positive and confident, yes? Adi raised a hand. "A gobletful of the potion should be taken each day of the week before the full moon.''
