He offered a one shoulder shrug. "Not to sound like a Hufflepuff about it, but a lot of it has to do with hard work. I'm sure even you've had to do your fair share of that."

Her blush was an interesting addition to their conversation that he pretended not to notice, but stored in the back of his mind for analysis, later. He grabbed the second scoop of kelp powder and waiter for her go ahead to pour it into the concoction. He peered in. "Hardening concrete. What are the chances of using it as a weapon, too?" Levitate it and drop it on someone's head. Surely it'd knock them out.

Let it never be said that potions couldn't be as subtle as a hippogriff in a China shop, too. "I," He began, unsure if this was the sort of tricky comment that would get him in trouble for having a response to. Or not having one, for that matter. "Noticed, yes." He paused, momentarily sucked in one of his cheeks. "Well, I was embarrassed, a little. Or unsure, I suppose. I laughed at something you said, not everyone takes that kindly." Even when you meant well.

"Don't give in too easily. I'm fairly impossible, and you don't want to encourage me." Katy left off working on the cauldron and gave Levi a proper measuring look. She'd made fireworks before, could probably do it in her sleep, and her brewing partner was much more interesting. Hard to read, impossible to understand, but very interesting. Very clever.

"Yes, I suppose you're right, though. It is hard work, and even I have had to do my share of it." Was that a compliment? Sort of backhanded suggestion that she hadn't worked for what she had, or perhaps she was overthinking it. Maybe he just meant that Katy was so gifted... Either way. She put a lot of work into Potions.

She nodded at him to add the second scoop of kelp powder. Quick, before it became impossible to stir. "Please don't be embarrassed just by laughing at me. I'm seldom serious and I'm trying not to care so much about what others think of me. That's my failure not to blush... I was indiscrete."
