Potions
"Have you ever made a potion before?"
Marlene slumped on the table, "I thought you were hot."
Dorcas whirled around to her and spoke after a moment had passed, "What?"
"I mean you are still hot", Marlene mused, "But you're also a prick."
She huffed, "Only because I'm going to fucking fail with you as a partner, and that of course is going to make me pissed off."
Marlene hummed, "We'll pass."
"And what makes you think that? All you've managed to do is lick the pixie dust for some inane reason and burn a hole in your parchment."
"Well one, you're like mega smart and two, I have accomplices."
Dorcas leaned against the desk, glancing Marlene up and down, "Accomplices?"
Marlene leaned forwards, "Smart friends. Lily is thrashing you as top student is she not? And of course James and Sirius are miles ahead, although I suppose potions is James' weaker area surprisingly."
Dorcas glanced over the room, spotting Sirius already finished his potion and now having a nap, and Lily helping other classmates with their potion troubles.
"Fine. But if you're relying on other people to do your work, then you're gathering all the ingredients and cleaning the cauldron after every class."
Marlene grinned, "Deal... Hey, do you want to go on a date this weekend?"
Dorcas turned back to Marlene, "What?"
"Well, I said you're hot, did I not?"
