𝔗he second that the damp, cool air of the potions classroom hit her skin, Emma knew she was going to love this class.
She had always been interested in potionsβ€” if she had it her way, she would abandon all expectations her family had for her future and become an alchemist. She had read about them foreverβ€” Nicolas Flamel being her favorite, of course. But for now, she could just enjoy the education she got here.
She made her way to the empty table nearest to the center of the room. Students were buzzing restlessly as they entered the room, some nervous, some excited, others bored.
She gathered her textbook from her bag and set it down in front of her as everyone made their way to their seats.
As Professor Asmaralaya circled the class, preparing to start his lesson, people settled down. Yet, no one had occupied the spot next to her yet.
It seemed that people had already started to pair up, even so early on in the year. It was only the first day of classes.
Emma started to feel a bit self conscious– she had met a few people already, but she hadn’t really made any true friends yet. Or really talked to anyone long enough to make any.
She huffed as she scolded herself in her mind.
Stop worrying so much. It's the first day of classes. The only thing you should be focused on is Professor Asmaralaya.

Potions. That meant using little spoons, tiny measurements. Precision is what the professors called it.

Well fuck that

Jay had no care for perfection, people often told her potions needed to be precisely done to be a proper potion.

Also fuck that

She hated science in muggle school, she thought this would be just as bad. Jay dropped her bag onto the table and sat down, she had been one of the last students to arrive so she had been left with little choice of where to sit.

The back of the classroom would have been ideal. Instead she sat close to the front next to another Slytherin.

The class started and Jay took her book out , getting bored quickly. She took out a pen and started doodling on the books pages, her head resting on the desk as she stared at the doodles forming on the page, turning into a small sketch of the classroom itself.

I probably shouldn’t be drawing in this…

Jay could still hear the lesson and her brain was still retaining the information, she just looked like she was drawing in her sleep.

Her partner on the other hand looked quite invested in the lesson, her eyes fixed on the professor as the class went on.

𝔗he lesson was thrilling.
Emma could barely unglue her eyes from the Professor as it went on, just so full of excitement that she'll be studying her favorite subject in the whole world for the next seven years. Seven years! It's a long time, and time well spent for her to work up the skills needed to convince her parents that no, she didn't need to be handed the van Elst legacy of sitting on the Wizengamot till her bones get creaky from underuse, as she just sits and sits and sits...... if she can prove that potioneering is her path, her calling, she might just save herself.
She flipped her parchment over, (her notes were full on one side, so she needed more space), and as she did so she noticed something.
The girl next to her, the other Slytherin with split-dyed hair, was doodling. Doodling when she was supposed to be focused on the lesson.
Emma couldn't stand for this. There was a chance they may be paired up together tomorrow, or today, for Merlin's sake. She needed a partner that would be intellectually stimulating, not someone who zones out and practically sleep through half the class.
So, without looking away from the teacher, (she fully thought that if she let her gaze off of him for a second he would catch her in the act) she quickly scratched a note (somehow in cohesive, near perfect handwriting, mind you), and slipped it under the girl's paper.

Jay was listening to the professor as she drew one of the students faces in her book when she felt a shift in the page and a slight noise of crinkling paper. She paused and slowly lifted the page of her book up. Underneath there was a quickly written note that read: Will you PAY ATTENTION?? The Professor is teaching, you know.

She sighed and flipped the note over, writing her own message on it and sliding it towards her before continuing to draw her classmates face. Jay lifted her head ever so slightly to look at her desk mate for the term and saw she was still enraptured in the lesson, her light blue eyes focused on the professor, eagerly taking in everything he was saying.

Wow... she's obsessed

Jay didn't see it as a bad thing that she had a big interest in potions, Jay had a big interest in herbology. Being obsessed wasn't a bad thing. Jay sighed. If someone looked like they weren't paying attention in herbology she'd be pretty pissed too. "Hey, I'm paying attention" she whispered "I'm just drawing, it helps me focus."

It really did help Jay focus on her studies but it came with the disadvantage of her not being able to read her own notes there were so many doodles around her notes. Sometimes she had to borrow her roommates notes instead of using her own. Jay would try her best in all classes and try be the best she could be for her desk mate. "You aren't gonna be stuck with a shitty partner all term, trust me"
