Class was far from over, but there was a bright side. This wasn't Divination or Runes or Arithmancy, so all hope wasn't lost.

Just as he closed his textbook, he was joined by two other dudes who were offering to partner up. "Yeah, man. Thanks," he said with a grin. "It was getting kind of boring working by myself." He looked at the other guy who joined them and decided to introduce himself. He didn't want to be known as 'that dude from Astronomy class'. "I'm Brent, by the way."

He looked down at his notes when one of the guys said something about them. "You mean I could have gotten away with doing less?" he added. They seemed surprised about his notes. "Note-taking isn't my thing, but I'm cool with my notes being used." Duuuuude. This was new. He wasn't used to being the guy with all the notes in class. This wasn't going to give him a reputation, was it? The talk turned to the professor, and Brent shrugged. "I don't know, man. What was she like before?" he asked. He hadn't to seem out of the loop, but he hadn't really made a point of analyzing the professors' personalities.

"I'm good with doing the painting," he said, suddenly remembering the first guy had mentioned that before. So basically all they had to do was paint, position, and fix to the posted, hmm?

He sighed when his brother started asking questions. He didn't want to be the bearer of bad and ambiguous news. 'Hey, yeah, so their aura is totally weird and out of whack and I am telling you I get a bad vibe. That's my not-expert assessment.' That just wasn't going to cut it. That just wasn't enough certainty to share. Still.

"Yeah, Salvatore seems a bit too saccharine. You know?" Declan commented as he dug around his robes pockets pulling out a bag of fruit gummies. "Like this." He squished a mini gelatin grape between his thumb and index finger before popping it in his mouth.

"I'm Declan and this is my brother," he said in a lower tone this time. "Levi." Declan glanced at Professor Salvatore before directing his attention back on the boys. Professor Salvatore's aura was still pulsating erratically; constrained and unlike itself. "He is a better talker than I am so he can explain further. I'm gonna grab our stuff."

Declan left Levi and Brent to talk over conspiracy theories in order to gather the supplies needed. He grabbed the spheres needed, the paints, brushes, and managed to somehow lodge a poster board underneath one armpit. Carefully, he made his way back and placed it on the table.

Levi shot a quick look at Brent's accent though chose to make no comment. Unless his ears deceived him, and he didn't think they were, it was an American one. He did nod in acknowledgement after being introduced, however, and also in agreement at Declan's words. "Uh, well," He was almost whispering by now. "I'm not saying she's never that nice, but, eh--" Levi was not going to say it, but he could very well write it quickly in the corner of his parchment and showed it to Brent: She is never that nice. Then he ripped the portion of the parchment where he'd written, balled it and shoved it in his bag. Innocently, he shrugged at the Slytherin boy.

When Declan came back, Levi quickly jumped on the materials and began to inspect his brother's findings. "I think you should talk to her after class to make sure she's okay." This was for obvious reasons, of course. "Okay, so I can draw sort of badly, Brent said he'd be okay with painting and Declan--you can write the additional info." Levi tried not to say it--he did--but: "With your superior penmanship and all that. I wouldn't want to ruin it."

Levi plopped back down on his chair and using the poster board, he began to draw a relatively decent circle that he hoped would represent the full moon.
