 Fluttery Pegasi
Haddie entered, looking as unhappy to be in potions as ever. Brewing a potion was exactly like cooking, and there was a reason she was banned from helping in the kitchen at home. She should probably be banned from the potions lab too, but it was a required subject.
Seriously.
There were other things contributing to her mood that no one knew about yet. Not that she had anyone to talk about it with anymore. Rachel still hadn't bothered to apologize or show any sign that she cared at all about how much she'd hurt Haddie. Ailsa couldn't be bothered to pry her nose out of a book for two seconds let alone long enough to have a conversation. Everyone else seemed to constantly flock around Rachel. Haddie only had herself, and she was learning to be fine with that. Really. Not like it will matter after this year, anyway.
Still the sight of Rachel's face cheered her up immensely. So much so Haddie had to chew on her lip to keep from laughing. She grabbed her lab coat, making a small detour that forced her to pass next to Rachel. She waved to Mase and Azzy and Sammy as she approached.
"Nice make-up," she said. They were the first words she'd said to Rach in weeks and her voice still held a lot of frost to it, renewed all the more now that she'd given up on waiting for Rachel to even try to mend their friendship. She hadn't done or said anything to Rachel this whole time, being exceptionally patient with the freckle-faced eagle. But the time of waiting was over.
Haddie kept walking, not waiting to hear anything Rach said back. She made her way to the far side of the room and pulled out her quill, a notebook and her partially melted cauldron. A mishap during a lesson back in October. At least it hadn't melted so much she couldn't use it.
