No, Mr SOLO, apparently. Well, he didn't mind being referred to as 'not lame'. And he was even happier to see them pair up, although... hmm. He'd keep a bit of a closer eye on those two, as much as he WAS looking forward to the potions they were to brew together. Whaaaat was professor Newt talking about?? "But THAT's how old I want to turn!" REALLY OLD! Matt wondered how that FELT like. It probably hurt, since old people were always complaining about pains and stuff. Huh. Matt was still curious, though. "I'll have to drink LOADS of the Potion then." Could he do it?? ........Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah! Text Cut: Liv Quote:

"Nobel art"....or whatever. Adults were so weird. Seriously. What was so noble about just mixing a bunch of things together? D U E L I N G, NOW.......THAT.....was an A R T. An art that Olivia was going to SLAY this term. YEP. EYES ON THE PRIZE.
Deciding to ignore his bossiness, as smol blond was usually the one doling out the demands, she went about collecting what they needed....which (not going to lie) took a while. Because she wasn't as confident in these practices, Liv second guessed herself quite a bit when it came down to the actual measuring. Trying to be overly careful (which wasn't a Gryffindor thing) and getting everything absolutely correct was far too much effort. SO. MUCH. EFFORT. Seriously....She was already so over this potions stuff and they'd not even commenced with the brewing yet. S.O.S. SEND HELP.
Eventually toting all the materials back to their work station, Matty with his set of ingredients and Liv with hers, she eyed the more interesting items he was playing around with. "Is that actually the tongue from a bat?!" Just.....Okay, obviously that was kinda fascinating. How did that sort of thing lend to a M A G I C A L potion? Had it been a.......er, magical bat? What about hairy fungus?!?! What properties did that possess?!
Maybe they'd have a Potions theory class sometime and then the Professor could explain all these subtle nuances to Olivia's Gryffindor brain. "Did I do okay?!" Liv was like an eager small blonde puppy with her bouncing, hoping that she'd not flubbed her part....NOT that she "flubbed". Much. Right, ONTO THE POTION.
Matt took his time being entertained with the ingredients they were supposed to prepare. Caterpillar-moustache. "Yo." He said as he held one of the creatures under his nose and turned to Liv. Almost immediately he dropped it and got the bat tongues, since the girl mentioned it. "YEAH!! They are AWESOME!" He added as he wiggled the both tongues in front of his mouth as if they were his own TINY little tongues. Two of them. "Diced." Matt said simply as he put them on the desk in front of him aaaaaand he started to dice them both. Liv didn't mind him dicing hers, right? He didn't ask, but he assumed it. Matt was good at assuming things. Was he accidentaly going to mix both tongues up and give her MORE than just one of them? Or LESS? WAS HE??? Who knew? NOT MATT. Dice, dice, dice, dice, dice, dice, dice, diiiciiiinnnggggg.
Did she do okay? "Yeah, of course!!!" The Gryffindor reassured her even though he had no idea what she was talking about. She was a girl and girls did things more carefully and correctly, didn't they? Or was that just in Matt's head? Anyway, he was sure she had got it right, whatever it was. "THEN WHAT?" The boy yelled asked as he looked up at the board again. "SMASH THE HAIRY FUNGUS!!" AWESOME! Well. 'Mash' it. Technicalities, technicalities. Matt grabbed a handful of the stuff and showed it to Liv. "Look how GROSS this is!!" MAAAN. That was cool. He put it all into his mortar and started to SMASH it. Or mash it. Wotevah.
