If there was a sugar-hyped blonde kid bouncing off the walls, that would likely be him.
Brent suddenly got the idea that there something super secretive going on here, but he had no idea what. These bros acted like they knew the professor long before she taught this class, and apparently she was like two different people. Brent side-eyed the note Levi wrote him, then raised his eyebrows as the boy promptly disposed of it. Did Brent need to take out his wand or something? Who WAS this lady teaching them? "Dude, what are you drawing?" he asked, watching Levi work. "Aren't we supposed to use those little spheres the professor provided?" Or did Brent just misunderstand things entirely? He was known to sometimes pay attention only half the time, and even then it needed to be something he was really interested in. He could have sworn he'd heard something about spheres, though. Quote:

Declan swept the room to find the Professor. His brows knitted together and he chewed on his bottom lip, tapping the table with nervous fingers. "This could get messy." "Anyway, yeah, we are brothers. We also have a younger sister. She's a hufflepuff!" So they had quite a bit in common. "Not a second year, though." Although sometimes she had the same temperament as one.
Declan's attention was drawn to what Levi was doing. He looked down at that and glanced up at Brent. "Uh....right. I think you're right. Unless Levi here is doing some extra credit stuff." Declan shrugged and practiced his perfect penmanship on a piece of parchment. "Anyway, ya'll let me know when it's my turn. Right now there's not much I can do but talk it out." Levi continued to make poor circle-y shapes until Brent spoke, mercifully putting an end to the waste of time and embarrassment his drawling skills were. To be clear, he also felt quite embarrassed for having overlooked the spheres and also for misunderstanding the instructions, or rather, making a whole set of new instructions, himself.
However--"I for sure was trying to do some extra credit work, Declan is right." His brother CLEARLY knew him so well. "But this just won't do, so let's just stick to the instructions." Levi discarded his drawings with a quick flick of his wand and a whispered incantation. He then began to carefully allocate the spheres on the poster board and then wrote down the name of each phase on different pieces of parchment. Levi made sure to just below each sphere, arranging them in the order in which the phases occurred so Brent could paint accordingly. He followed Brent's notes, too, to avoid any more embarrassing mistakes. He was pretty sure he could already feel a stress induced rash spreading on the back of his knees. "Alright, mate, you are up." Carefully, he pushed the poster board to the boy.
The Gryffindor did not feel like maybe his contribution had been enough but surely arranging the spares and distributing the tasks between the three ought to count for something. "Well, you are better at Astronomy than I am," Levi pointed out in a whisper, at his brother. Declan HAD gotten decent marks in his Astronomy OWL exam, he must have. "Soooo she probably likes you better."
