Skylar walks into potions class, careful to avoid the people clustered around the entrance. Her last class was Transfiguration, which was all the way on the fifth floor, making her have to speed walk all the way to the dungeons. Her cauldron and glass vials clink together in her satchel as the professor ushers her in. Glancing around the classroom, Skylar notices that most of the tables were filled already. However, she does not have much time before class begins, so she slides into the nearest seat she can find and settles in. She turns her head and notices she is sitting next to a Ravenclaw girl. She makes eye contact with the girl and offers her a friendly smile. The girl timidly returns the smile and quickly looks away. Ah, must be one of the shy ones then.
Soon, class begins. Today they were learning about the Antidote to Common Poisons. Skylar quickly jots down a few notes on the lesson and flips through the textbook.
When it was time for them to brew the potions, Skylar turns to the girl next to her. It would be nice to have a partner to brew potions together.
Skylar gives the girl a friendly smile. She figures she should introduce herself now, especially if they are going to work together. Her partner also seems quite shy as well, so Skylar hopes to help her be less nervous.
“Hello there! I’m Skylar. Looks like we’re potion buddies! What’s your name?”

Potion Buddies!
I almost passed out.
I loved potions. It was probably my second favorite class, after History of the Magic. I loved learning.
I arrived to the class awfully early. It was a habit of mine: I always had to arrive to a place, at least, ten minutes early.
Exactly two minutes before starting the class, a Gryffindor girl walked in and, after glancing around the room, she walked towards me and sat next to me, and then...
She smiled at me!
I panicked internally, I wasn't used to people approaching me like that,so all I was able to do was return the smile and put attention to the teacher.
As the class continued, I took notes of everything. The theory, the steps for the practice, everything.
When the theorical part finished and the practical one began, I noticed I'd probably need some help to do this.
The girl next to me approached me with a smile on her face. It all seemed like we had to do this together, after all.
'She's not gonna bite you, you know?' I heard my dad's voice in my head.
I took a deep breath and turned to face her.
It was only then that I noticed some details about her.
Like the blue hair. It was cool.
'Skylar Blue.'
I nodded towards her, trying to control the shakiness of my voice.
"I'm Hendricks. Mikaela Hendricks."
I made a little smile.

"I'm Hendricks. Mikaela Hendricks." The girl replies. She gives Skylar a little smile, however she still seems quite nervous. Skylar wishes to see the girl smile; like a big, unguarded smile. She wants to befriend Mikaela and hope that she won't be as shy around her at the end of the class. Her dad always told her that she has a tendency to try to take people "under her wing" or devote herself to making sure someone is okay. Some people see her kindness as an admirable trait, but some also see it as a fault.
Turning back to the potion at hand, Skylar flips to the recipe page and they begin measuring the ingredients. While completing the tasks required for brewing, she happily chats with Mikaela. Well, it almost seems as if Skylar was talking to herself, but she does not mind. Mikaela may be quiet, but Skylar feels that she is still listening. Besides, Skylar probably speaks enough for the whole class at this point.
"So, what class is your favorite so far? Mine is Charms. The professor is incredibly humorous and I enjoy the lessons. Defense Against the Dark Arts also interests me greatly." Skylar turns and smiles at the Ravenclaw. She hopes she has not bored the girl from all her incessant yabbering, but if Mikaela had an issue with it, she was hiding it incredibly well.

I had a smile on my face all the time.
Skylar talked a lot. Why did everyone at Hogwarts need to talk so much? It wasn't annoying, at all, but it was... not what I was used to.
I nodded when I needed to and, finally, the potion was almost ready.
I tilted my head at her question.
"History of Magic. Definitely. I love history, muggle and magical, both. I think it's really interesting." I nodded with a tiny smile.
I put the final ingredients for the potion as I began to mingle it.
"And, uh..." What do I have to say now? I panicked for a second as I cleared my throat.
I glanced at her hair.
"Do your parents let you dye your hair like that? I mean, it's cool, I've never seen anyone with blue hair before." I mentioned, my words coming out low.
My dad would never let me dye my hair until I was, at least, fifteen. He says he loves my hair like this, and to change it would be a terrible loss.
I never thought of it, anyway.
Dad. When I write my weekly letter to him. I definitely have to tell him I probably made a friend.
A friend? No, not yet. A class partner. Yes. I'd like to be Skylar's partner in other classes, too. I knew we shared some.

Skylar smiles as the Mikaela talks about her favorite classes. She's finally talking to me now! Guess all of Skylar's blabbering does work. As they near the end of their potions, Mikaela seems to hesitate before asking her a question.
"Do your parents let you dye your hair like that? I mean, it's cool, I've never seen anyone with blue hair before."
Skylar grins at that. Despite sticking out like a sore thumb with her bright blue hair, nobody actually really asked her about it.
"Well actually, it was this pretty funny story. I loved the color blue, and my family name is literally 'Blue'. I know I don't look like it either, but I actually wanted to be in Ravenclaw! So anyways, due to my large obsession with blue, I wanted to dye my hair to match. I thought it could be like my trademark, you know? Like an iconic trait all those famous people have.
My parents, understandably, did not want me to dye my hair. After all, I was like what, nine? So, I made a bet with them. I told them that if I can categorize what shade every single blue thing in our house is, I can dye my hair blue. Because that means I am truly educated in the topic and should be allowed to have it as a defining trait. I don't how my nine-years-old reasoning got to them, but they agreed. So like the obsessed child I was, I was able to name every shade of blue by the second week of the bet. I still remember at least 60 shades of blue up till now." Skylar chuckles as she remembers the memory. "It's a fun little quirk I have, I suppose. How about you? Surely there's a topic you are passionate about?"

I smiled at her story as I tilted my head. It was a bit weird, though. Why would anyone have a preference for a certain House? I mean, mom was a Hufflepuff, but that didn't mean I had to go to Hufflepuff, too. It was more about the personality of one as an individual than what you would like or not.
At least, that's what it said in the book my mom gave me about Hogwarts.
I shook my head when she made me a question. I had been traveling in my mind again.
The corner of my lip twitched a bit, thinking. What was I passionate about?
Reading. Theater. History. Music.
"Reading, I guess, in general." I finally replied.
"Mom used to say that I was a prodigy. That I learned to read waaay earlier than the other kids. Once, when I was seven, I memorized almost an entire book of medicine just because I liked the pictures." I shrugged.
"Not everything could be that good, though. I didn't say my first word until I was five." I confessed in a whisper.
"People were starting to think I was mute. Guess I just had nothing to say." I told her with a little smile as I kept mingling.
Why was I telling Skylar all this stuff? I don't have idea. I just know she's comfortable to be around.

Skylar chuckles as Mikaela told her story. Memorizing a whole book because she liked the pictures? Iconic. However, she wonders how Mikaela can just have nothing to say. Skylar was blabbering ever since she was out of the womb. She would tell her mom everything that happened in a day and rattle off on the dreams she had the night before.
"My, we have quite different personalities, my friend. I do not know how you can survive that long in silence, but talking is literally what I have been doing since birth! I remember I had this whole Shakespeare phase where I would randomly quote lines from his plays and start reciting it. Ha! God I was a dramatic kid back then, and I still am." Skylar says with a grin. She remembers how concerned her parents were when she started quoting Hamlet. Hamlet was a masterpiece by Shakespeare, of course. But when a six-year-old starts quoting the lines of revenge and murder, that raises some eyebrows.
"Well, worry not my friend. For I shall speak enough for the both of us when thou does not wish to." Skylar exaggeratedly states with her hand over her heart. She then begins to laugh and gives Mikaela a wink. "You know, I should start quoting Romeo and Juliet when you speak. You know that one line? She speaks. O, speak again, bright angel." Skylar starts cracking up again. She probably looked like maniac, but they were done with their potion anyway. As long as they do not break anything, they can goof off a little.

I couldn't help but giggle, too. Skylar was funny.
Maybe I was, indeed, making a friend. Dad always says that, if someone makes you laugh, it means there's a friend in the way.
"Well, I don't know how you can talk that much. But, like, in the good way. I'm more used to silence." I explained to her as I finished with the potion. We had now fifteen more minutes to spare before the class ended, so I leaned against the desk and listened.
My eyes sparkled at the mention of Sheakspeare. He had been one of the reasons I loved theater! But I still hadn't read Hamlet, though. I think I'm gonna ask my dad to send me the book next week.
I smiled.
"I love Romeo and Juliet. It's probably one of the best books I've read so far. It's definitely in my top 5. My favorite one is Alice in Wonderland. I love all of the adaptations I've seen so far, they're great!"
Including the musical, I thought. Alice by Heart was one of my favorites.
"Mom and dad used to take me to the West End on my birthday so I could see whatever was playing in there. When I was seven, I saw Hadestown and I swear my life's not been the same since then." I commented with a huge grin.

Hadestown. Skylar immediately perks at that. She loves that musical. Despite being wizard-born, her parents still visit the muggle city sometimes, and they would bring her to the entertainments around. Muggle productions, delicacies, and creations is something Skylar would enjoy every time she went.
"You watched Hadestown before? I loved that musical. The vocals and production were everything. I do not usually visit muggle cities, but I was fortunate enough to see Hadestown on one of my rarer visits. Another one I saw was a film, The Sound of Music, I believe. It is an old musical film but a great one."
Almost too soon, the class was dismissed. Skylar turns towards Mikaela and gives her a smile. "Well, I have to go to my other class soon. Perhaps we can meet each other again for lunch. I would love it if you can recommend me any other muggle stories or productions! The wizarding world has some, but they are all extremely outdated." Skylar says sheepishly. She then waves goodbye to Mikaela before heading towards her next class. Though she was shy in the beginning, Skylar was glad that Mikaela opened up in the end. She made a new friend, which she was extremely happy about. She cannot wait to see her again.
