Axyen continued to write down the notes and realized they would be getting their homework soon. Axyen looked determined to pass Potions unlike his brother who typically got a P(Poor), perhaps he described the potions classroom as misery because he was simply bad at the subject. Axyen was going to write down a few more notes where he realized Addie passed him another note:
I wonder if they all had same classes. My brother and sister are 19 just got out of Hogwarts two years ago.
Addie Richards
Axyen once again wrote again in his (usual) messy handwriting...
My brother is 18, just graduated. They probably had the same classes, but I can't be certain...
Anyways, potions isn't as bad as I expected it to be, I assume my brother made up all those stories because he simply is bad at potions, which certainly explains a lot...
Axyen passed it back, he 'dropped' his quill by 'accident' and casually slid his hand with the note towards Addie. He wasn't a great actor, but he certainly was great at creating and generating excuses for himself when it was needed. Axyen wrote whatever he needed to finish and now it was time to work on homework, Axyen felt weird being excited for homework. Perhaps that'd help him in the long run...
Axyen began writing hastily on his homework, it was surprising to him how passionate he had been for both his Charms homework and Potions homework. Perhaps he could become a professor at this rate. Axyen realized that might be his great motivator, his big dream of being a professor.

Addie soon realized, this was going to be one of her best subjects. She carefully wrote out her homework.
Then she thought, Are they just going to assume that we consider this place a new home because usually you take homework ‘home’
She shrugged and then saw Axyen ‘accidentally’ dropped his quill. She let out a little giggle as she was passed the note. She then looked straight at the professor to make sure she wasn’t going to get in trouble on the first day, now that really would be bad.
She waited a couple of minutes and then picked up the note. She could barely read his messy writing, but this is what she could see: My brother is 18, just graduated. They probably had the same classes, but I can't be certain...
Anyways, potions isn't as bad as I expected it to be, I assume my brother made up all those stories because he simply is bad at potions, which certainly explains a lot...
She did a lot of squinting, but she could just barely read it. She decided that she would talk to him after class instead of writing notes. It was kinda crazy that she couldn’t read his writing.
I guess that’s what it’s like not going to ‘Muggle School’
Addie tried viewing it from different angles, but that still didn’t help very much. She tried to picture herself writing the same symbols. This helped a tad bit, just enough that she could read it.

Axyen was writing hastily in his homework, he tried to write a little neater, it'd be horrible to get a P(oor) grade on his assignment. So he was trying to write as neat as he could(which turned out to be just the same as his 'normal' writing.)
Axyen was nearly done with his homework and he would finally be able to quickly leave class. It was an enjoyable first lesson, despite being, as professor Regan put it, 'unpractical' lesson. Axyen proceeded to finish his homework, change it up a little bit before finally being satisfied with his work.
Axyen looked around the class, wow... people really want to stay up doing homework...? Axyen thought to himself, it was weird being one of the few kids who stayed. Their were other kids staying to finish their homework, so at least Axyen wasn't being 'weird' or whatever other terms people would use for him.
Axyen decided he could use some time to review over his work and was spending the time reading what he just wrote, he needed to edit his work, it needed to be fixed. He scratched over the directions to make one of the potions in class, he would instead just rewrite it all. He looked over his notes and rewrote it in his own words, it didn't cause too much issue and before Axyen knew it, he was done again. He thought that if he noticed that one mistake, he should probably look over his work again to scan for more mistakes, fortunately for Axyen, there wasn't any that he could spot.

Addie was one of those so called ‘crazy’ people who decided to stay up and do their homework. She decided if she was going to miss sleep to do this she would start to make up for the sleep.
Addie cleared off her area. She shoved her diary, special notebook and the Potions book in her oddly large pockets, now that she thought about it. She laid her head down ready to take an amazing nap. She watched Axyen write for a few minutes and then fell asleep.
At home she had never taken naps, in fear she would miss out on something. She never got a full 8 hours now that she thought about. With the constant sounds of River’s little feet pounding the floor, running downstairs (or what a three year olds running is). And the weekly sleep overs and party’s almost always held at Runi’s house.
In her sleep Addie had mumbled quite a lot, showing she was in a light sleep.
She mumbled thing like, “Oh hey Runi” and “yeah I have to go to boarding school this year.”
At one point she started to hum a song.
In her sleep she would smile and frown just like she would do awake.

Axyen finally turned in his homework, satisfied with the work he done. Although Axyen heard Addie mumble "Oh hey Runi." Axyen felt pretty awkward.
"Yeah, I have to go to boarding school this year." Addie would mumble again... Axyen finally said "Hey- um Addie, I think we have to leave now." Axyen would say as some students packed up and left. "I just finished my homework." Axyen finished. Wait, was she humming a song?" Axyen thought, he questioned whether she was actually asleep...
Axyen was trying to carry all of his books and the cauldron which he didn't even need to use. He put the books in the cauldron and tried to fit the rest in, and the cauldron looked like it'd fall over any minute. Axyen picked it up, and what he'd fear what happened, just had to occur. The Brass Scales tipped slightly to the left onto the floor Axyen caught onto it and decided he would try to carry the Brass Scales in one hand and the cauldron in the other.
Axyen wished he learned the levitation charm, maybe then this wouldn't be such an impossible task. Axyen moved slowly, it was taking effort to be this careful while not breaking anything, though it'd be great practice, he simply did not want to risk it. Axyen wished he could focus on something else and everything else would pass like a breeze.
Instead, he was fully aware of how his cauldron was ever-so slightly tilting towards his left. OH NO! Axyen thought as he tilted more towards the right, the cauldron leaned towards the right way too much. Axyen continued this 'balancing game' as he slowly walked. He put the Brass scales on top of his cauldron, much easier to manage. He let out a sigh of relief as he could walk slightly more quicker.
Maybe we should try and learn the levitation charm as soon as possible. Axyen thought.

Addie had soon awaken from her sleep. She looked around and couldn’t find Axyen anywhere. She cleaned some small amount of drool off her face and stood up rubbing her eyes.
“Where is everyone?” She muttered to herself, looking about the classroom.
Then the realization hit her, Shoot! Class is over!
She quickly gathered her things and raced out of the classroom.
Ugh No! Curse naps! She thought to herself.
At one point she stopped to catch her breath, since she was clearly running something close to top speed.
“Where’s water when you need it!” She said in between breaths. She got distracted when one of her brothers old friends walked by. They chatted for a bit and then Addie remembered she had to go.
“Bye!” She called as she ran down the hallway with her stuff in her hand.
I haven’t ran this much since football She thought remembering those times were she could just be normal.
She could finally see Axyen, she ran up to him wheezing.
“Oh my gosh I’m so sorry.” She said, “I feel asleep didn’t I!”
It took her a few moments, but she finally caught her breath after almost falling on the floor.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry. I fell asleep didn't I!" Addie said as she ran up to Axyen, meanwhile Axyen startled slightly jump, everything in his hand dropped. Oh shoot!" Axyen said! His cauldron and everything in it fell out. Axyen immediately began to the process of putting everything back together.
"Sorry about that." Axyen said while cleaning up. "I tried to wake you, but carrying all this stuff would be very heavy, especially since I have to put it up to the dormitory." Axyen explained.
"What should our next class be?" Axyen asked, finishing up cleaning what he dropped. He finally had it all back in the cauldron and carried it before moving a little slowly towards their common room. He disliked the need to climb upwards because they were leaving the dungeon, the lowest part of Hogwarts. Axyen felt his legs getting tired which each step, his arms wanted to give in and drop the cauldron in his hands, but he didn't want to pick all of it up, so he kept making step-after-step as he finally made it to the ground floor. One more... flight of... stairs... Axyen thought as his hands were shaking, he never wanted to give up more in his life. He finally got to his common room and dormitory, put his stuff up and went back outside to meet with Addie.

Addie had just walked out of her dormitory and put her stuff away. She saw him walk out Addie smiled, though he had clearly interrupted her thoughts. She had her signature pose on: Standing up right with an arm across her chest and the other arm on top of it resting on her face. (Profile Pic) Her sleeves pulled out longer than normal.
“Now that I think about it we should probably take a little break before the next class,” She said, “Like hang out here. And then after we should go to transfiguration!”
She found a seat no where near where they meet in the sad lonely corner chair next to the fire. This time she sat in front of the fire on a couch. The couch was soft and like the Common Room, decorated with yellows and blacks. It was a constant reminder that she was in an extremely amazing house: Hufflepuff. Addie looked up to see the portrait of Helga Hufflepuff. Still like the first time she saw it: elegant and beautiful. She sighed happily and was now very energized after her nap in Potions. That was enough to keep her up late and last through the rest of the day.

"We probably do need a break." Axyen said, agreeing with Addie and thinking how much work he has been doing, well how much work they both been doing."Well, what now?" Axyen wondered.
He sat near Addie, but was more tired than Addie. He continued to think how many spells and what other things they'd learn, it could be loads of fun. Axyen thought of all the duels he would have, he was very competitive when it came to dueling. Axyen couldn't help but think about how busy the day has been, just from two classes. Axyen wondered more about how Transfiguration would go, Axyen wondered if maybe he should save his homework for later to get more rest, but he thought about how preferable it would be just to sleep and not worry for future homework which could've been prevented.
Axyen couldn't help but think about the last two classes, they were both equally interesting, so that was something to look forward to. He decided that'd be a good conversation before they head over to Transfiguration.
"The last two classes have been pretty interesting," Axyen said, thinking slightly his hand near his wand and touching it, but the grip was relatively loose. "Makes me excited for Transfiguration." Axyen finished his sentence. Axyen wondered what spell they'd learn, how Transfiguration would be described, both teachers so far seemed happy with their jobs, which motivated Axyen to work harder on his homework, which was pretty strange to him...
Either way, it felt nice to get a small break, he wondered how much of the day would be left after Transfiguration, what classes to attend and whatnot, it seemed all he could think about was classes, so he thought about dueling instead(while paying attention to Addie) which helped him feel more relaxed, as weird as it sounded considering dueling was mainly throwing an arsenal of spells towards your opponents.
