Liv decided she liked this man very much, considering she had finally made the decision to actually put effort forth. It was..... A BRAAAAND NEEEEW LIIIV. Matty Solo, oh no you did not. AGE WAS BUT A NUMBER, after all! Hadn't anyone bothered to inform this poor, unfortunate soul?! Mmmmhmmmm.....the real question here was did he know his stuff?! Could he be helpful to her in her learning quest?! Bruh, Olivia didn't want to be shipped off to a reform school. So, her grades needed to start improving pronto mohanto. Because, you know, SHE'D HEARD HORROR STORIES ABOUT THE FOOD AT THOSE TYPES OF SCHOOLS. The blonde refused to live that way. She did NOT need that sort of negativity in her life. "I know it's basically reading instructions." No, Olivia couldn't read his mind....but that was probably what he was thinking, right?! 'What's so hard about following a set list of instructions?' Crusty Bananas, she'd heard these questions before. "I just.....er, get distracted in the process. Bad things....happen to the cauldrons in my life." R.I.P. at least ten cauldrons: may you be treated with more finesse than we were capable of. "I get bored." It was true. She did.
Right. So, she was just going to......er, copy him, then. Scouring her cauldron first with magic, because the cleaning spell was one of the ones she actually knew well, Liv peered up at her "partner". "This isn't the part I have trouble with." It was the tedious, meticulous stuff that got her in a sitch! "Wanna start getting our ingredients ready together?" Hmmmm?!?!? SHE WANTED TO BE SUCCESSFUL TODAY. Eyes on the prize! IF he would like to?? "I WOULD LOVE TO!" Matt shouted excitedly in response to the old man, aka their teacher. "AWESOME! I'MMA BE AN OLD FART SOON!" RAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
Ahh, so she was fine with him being her partner then. LOL, how FUN! Matt wouldn't tell her he knew nothing and would literally just follow instructions for the sake of not causing the room to explode - though that actually WOULD be pretty cool - and that he was confident his potion wouldn't be 100%. YET he was willing to still drink it because #YOLO.
What was life without adventures, EH? "Yeah, Potions can be boring. But it can be FUN TOO." Like when they drank poison and everything. That had been epic. "It's even more fun when you get to DRINK the potion later, that's why I'm doing it." Boom.
Anyway. "It's easy not to get distracted, you just need to remember what step was the last one you did." BUT then again. Matt hadn't paid attention to any of the instructions given by their old, oooolllldddddd professor; he was CLEARLY the best person to talk about distraction, was he not?
He looked up at the board and read the first step out loud. "Prepare all ingredients.... yadda yadda yadda. EASY! Yeah, let's DO IT." For some reason Matt felt a sense of determination coming from his housemate that was quite contagious. For some reason, he wanted to WIN now. "Let's BREW THIS POTION!!"
The Gryffindor jumped up. "Why don't you get the..." And he checked the board again. "...wine, juice and the... toirtoise shell thing? I'll get the rest." Matt said as he walked to the front of the classroom to collect the ingredients. The GROSS ingredients, mehehehehehe!!! He chose to collect all the GROSS STUFF, because they were a lot more FUN and DISGUSTING and bwahahahaha, awesome. "Look at this HAIRY FUNGUS!!" The boy exclaimed as he lifted it up. MAN. "And bat tongue! And caterpillaaaarrrsss." Alright, the last one wasn't THAT grim, but it would do.
He marched back to their workstation with his hands full of enough ingredients for both him and Liv and started preparing his own stuff.
