can never help but laugh whenever he witnesses someone take the Babbling Beverage...

tried that one someone, he admits it was quite entertaining.

takes a peek at his book from behind him. Since it was a higher level book, there were a lot he had never heard of and he was very interested.

most of the stuff is too much trouble to make.

sees that a lot of them do have have many ingredients and steps to take. No wonder a lot of students did not like the potions class.

doesn't mind it but admits he'd probably get frustrated with the whole thing. hence the reason why he's more into Spells.

can certainly understand that. Personally, he loves creating the potions once you have all the ingredients. It's just like cooking. ^^

doesn't know but for some reason tends to screw it up. every single time. so. he gave up.

looks at him. Maybe he just needed some help?

sighs. he doesn't even know for sure, but when him and Belphegor did their last prank, it got screwed up. and it was a simple Potion.

that may hath been for the best. "Ano...I'm pretty good at potions...though thou probably wouldn't want any help from a fourth year." He just wanted an excuse to try to the higher level potions.

blinks and looks up at the other. "Doesn't really matter". he shrugs.

takes that as an invitation. He slowly takes a seat next to him, glancing at the book once more. "What is thou learning about right now in the class?" He'll do his best to understand.

hums. "Love potions...". Seriously. who would want to study this? not him that's for sure, he has better things to do with his energy.

blinks. "Well uh...that is quite an...interesting subject..." He lies. Frankly love potions never appealed to him. It was all false love anyway. "

sighs. "not really...". he dislikes them. it's not like he needs a love potion to get someone in his bed anyways, it's only for desperate people.

nods, admitting he agreed. "There hast never been a love potion brewed created true love...and frankly, I do not think there ever will be...love is a different kind of magic..." He mumbles the last part.

smirks bitterly. "love? i only believe in physical attraction. something such as love isn't for someone like myself anyways". old wounds.

doesn't think he should sell himself short like that. Maybe he just hasn't met the right person yet? Besides, love spells are made for just that kind of infatuation...

(it didn't send T_T)

(send wat?lol)

believes there could be a slight chance of that but with the way he's been living for the past 6 years. it'll take a miracle or some kind of luck for him to have something like love happen to him.

(my post, I replied a while ago, lol)

he never knows."Well, now is not the time to think of that. Even though thou never plans to use it, it is important thou should create an effective potion!" He says, going into determined, study mode.-

Stereotypical Ravenclaw. "Though why the professors insist on us knowing that is beyond me..."

sighs as he leans back in his chair, stretching. "Whatever the case, i rather save myself the trouble and not do it".

pouts at him.

"But then, won't thou end up with a bad grade...?"

shrugs. "I always find some way around these problems".

stares with slight admiration. He's quite resourceful...

indeed is highly resourceful, comes with the territory of being his infamous self.

looks through the book again. He still wanted to try a potion in here though. "Maybe instead we could try one that is actually useful...?"

notices the Raveclaw's interest and smirks. "Why don't you do it yourself?".

stutters. "Ah well I would but...I fear there may be some things in this book I may not understand, seeing as it is two years above my level..."

hums as he raises an eyebrow. "for some reason, i highly doubt that"

twiddles his fingers and looks at the book again. To attempt something may take some time. If he could borrow it, that would be useful, but he didn't want to take it when he needed it.

doesn't need it, really. he can get any one of those potions from that book with some exchange of favours of the body.

blinks at that answer and stares at him. "Uh....right...."

just being blunt. that's how he is and that's how he'll always be. you dont know he well enough to know that.

wasn't judging or anything...if he makes a good potion, he'll gladly give it to him. However..."Ne...how art thou with defense and attack spells?"

hums in curiousness at the question. "Very good actually, why?".

looks down nervously. "I just...hath been having some trouble with it...even accidently hit that terryfying Gryffindor prefect with a confusion spell recently..." He says, referring to Xanxus. He wasn't sure-

how to ask for help.

sighs. "And you need some help regarding defense and attack spells against this prefect. am i right?"

nods sadly, still looking down. "Well, it's the spells in general for my class. I am sure the prefect will not be a problem is he dost not remember what happened to him."

hums in thought of the situation. "Why not use the memory erase spell?"

blinks. "Right...but...that will not help with my trouble with the spells..." He wondered if he realized he was asking for a tutor...

does. but he's not really the teaching type with things such as this.

sighs. Well, it was worth a try...

wouldn't mind... but... he tried teach someone before, a Raveclaw too and it didn't turn out too well in his opinion... though. he wouldn't mind helping you if it's about some Gryffindor.

could make it work that way.

dislike Gryffindor people. he likes messing with them the most.

why he dislikes them so much...?

its from... old wounds from the past when he was in first year. hoho bad bad times.

tilts his head, wondering what could have happened, but doesn't pry. I think most people would dislike that prefect...

heard rumours about that specific prefect. so it's not surprising to him.

looks at him questioningly. "Then, will thou help me?" He asks hopefully.

about it for a second. "Sure why not"

beams and gives a big smile, relieved.

chuckles, seeing the other all of a sudden so happy.

calms down. "Ah...I guess it is a little late to do anything now..." He glances at the time. It would be better to practice outside, or in a large spacious room, which they weren't really allowed in either-

at this time. (coughroomofrequirementcough)

doesn't know about no room of requirement. but he does have his secret passage ways. that he seems to be sharing with everyone recently.

looks at him. Secret passageways? My, he really was resourceful. How is it that they could be kept a secret for so long?

simply didn't tell anyone. well... and thats how he gets around into the dorms of the people who call for his infamous self.

how the professors haven't found them yet. Well, he didn't have to worry. He wouldn't be telling anyone.

one or two professors under his clientele. like he says. his highly infamous for favours. why do you think he never get caught?

he has a good point. Just what kind of favors art they anyway...?

gets asked to do sexual healing favours. hence his infamous reputation.

blushes at the thought. "I-I see...." He looks away. "Thou must really good to be so 'infamous'." He mumbles.

smirks, hearing the mumble. "not really, i can't take all the credit".

what that meant...he had a teacher?

had several. too many to keep track of. he can't even remember now it started. no that's a lie he can.

won't ask anymore. He can it's not something he likes to talk about.

doesn't feel it's a trouble. he cant change what happened, so why deny it.

looks at him. "Thou almost seems like someone who was forced to be the way thou is...with the way thou talks about it anyway..."

hums before glancing at him. "Pretty much, It was something that was done to me against my will". rape.

looks at him sadly, pretty much guessing what happened. He shakes his head. From the small amount of times he spoken to him, he could he would not want any pity and think it's just a waste of time. He tries-

changing the subject. "So um...about that training..."

doesn't take too much mind to it, it's been years anyways. he looks to him at the change of subject. "what about it?".

just wondering when they could do it. If Kikyo was not busy. He didn't want to take up his time unecessarily.

never busy. And yes, he wouldn't mind telling. but be warned he's not the greatest teacher.

really doesn't mind. As lond as he knows what he's doing, he should be able to follow along.

some experience with using spells as a means for fighting. you just need to make sure you know your spells.

study them again and make sure he knows all of them. ^^

it's settled then. he shall help you when you think your ready.

nods. He'll go over them tonight. Maybe they could work on it tomorrow then?

wouldn't mind that.

gets up. "Then I'll go study now and leave thee be." He starts running back to his dorm. "Much appreciated!" He calls back before disappearing around the corner.

smiles. he sighs. must be nice being so young. he remembers his time in 4 th year. fun times.
