Pyce liked Potions. It was an undeniable, indisputable fact. Potions was an easy class. Or, at the very least, easier than Charms and Transfiguration. There was something tangible about it that other classes simply did not have. It was easier to understand. Also, it seemed to have more joint lessons with Slytherin, which meant seeing Hecate. Hecate was not all that good at Potions, but Pyce helped where they could.
The only issue Pyce had with the class was location. The classroom itself was fine, but the journey through the dungeons was just cold enough to be uncomfortable. No matter, it was the only class down there, and Pyce had once again survived the short journey.
Professor Lesmana was explaining what they were doing today. Groups, as was the usual for this class. Hecate, as much as Pyce liked being around him, had been acting... Well, he was acting far more foolish than usual, and Pyce was a bit wary to work with their brother. They made their way over to one of the workstations, not paying any mind if there was someone already there.
And then there was attendance. Pyce didn't dislike their name. It was fine, and a last name they hadn't actually heard of anywhere outside of their family. To be fair, it was a very large family. The issue: it started with R. Which meant Pyce was waiting for last names A-Q (and then some, since it wasn't just R, it was RO, so they weren't even top of the R names), plus Hecate, since his name started with an H. It wasn't nearly as bad as Pyce made it out to be, but ever since the sorting ceremony, they feared the long wait until their name was called.
Lucky for them, it went by fast enough. At least, Pyce thinks so, they spaced out until Hecate's name came up.
"Pyce Rotanski." The professor called.
"Present!" Pyce responded. Hecate called them a nerd for saying that. But it wasn't like he could comment on it right now, so Pyce could say whatever.
The professor finished up attendance, which meant onto the potion making!

ReducioWe love a good rivalry! Also, Hecate is technically somewhere in the classroom, probs distracted by trying to sneak away some potion ingredients without anyone noticing

Pyce was joined by a Slytherin girl they hadn't met before. They had maybe seen her in passing, but had never had a proper conversation with her.
"Hello." Pyce greeted. They had been in a group with Slytherins plenty of times before, but usually, Hecate acted as a buffer, introducing his housemates and talking through whoever they were. All while somehow messing up the potion. Which is where Pyce would come in and make sure Hecate didn't accidentally blow them all up.
It was a bit different, working without Hecate, but it would be okay. Probably. "Are you good at Potions?" Pyce asked, idly poking the scales. The copper plate lowered from the weight before returning to its place. Pyce didn't really mind if their partner was good at Potions or not. If they could work with Hecate, Pyce was certain they could work with anybody. "I'm alright at it." Modest. A voice that sounded suspiciously like Hecate said in their head. Which- rude, and incorrect. Pyce was just alright at Potions, it just so happened that they were very good at stopping certain other people from being bad at it.
It would be nice, if their partner- maybe they should have been listening to the professor calling attendance- was good at Potions. Competency was far too much to ask for from Hecate.

ReducioPyce is actually very good at Potions. Hecate does his best to make sure Pyce knows they're good

The girl handed Pyce a knife as she talked. They took it with no hesitation and joined her in prepping the ingredients. Their knife work was nice, but nothing all that special, no matter what Cate said. While chopping, the girl specifically asked them if they were Pyce. They didn't think they were all that memorable that their name would be remembered, but she was probably thinking ahead. Something that would have helped Pyce if they had thought the same. "Oh. Yes, I am," They confirmed. Pyce felt a bit bad that they couldn't think of the girl's name at all. Was it rude that they hadn't been paying attention to the other names?
"What's your name?" Pyce asked, head ducked slightly, their hair covering their left eye. It was normal to have to ask someone's name, they reminded themself, but it was slightly embarrassing. Pyce condensed what they had been chopping in a small bowl before picking something else off the desk, measured it out, and set it aside.
That done, Pyce realized they hadn't checked the actual potion recipe in a hot minute, too caught up in talking. Sure, they knew what they were supposed to do, but it never hurt to double check. Pyce glanced over at the page, made sure everything was fine, and returned to what they were doing.
