2nd Day

[seasaltkeys]

[A - On the Quidditch Pitch]

[Roxas should be doing his homework. But he's not. Instead he's flying around on his broom. There isn't really a point to it. It's not practice or anything, just a chance to clear his head. It's remarkably freeing from the heavy load of knowledge that's been weighing him down since the start of term.

Flying up high he turns sharply in to a steep dive before pulling up before he hit the ground. If he was a seeker, that would be a pretty good Wronski Feint. He ascends again with a whoop!]

[B - in the Library]

[Not doing his homework had finally caught up with him and now Roxas is scrambling. And there's still so much to do. An essay for charms, practice for transfiguration, reading for Defense against the Dark Arts? It's almost too much. He stares intently at his parchment, before finally letting out a loud sigh and pushing away from the table to head into the stacks.

He thinks he knows what book he's looking for, but of course it's on a shelf he can't reach.]

This is stupid.

[Said with his head against the bookcase]

Comments

[really_sketchy]

That's true but now you know how to study it properly.

[She can't stop smiling and being positive, weither it's the spell or something else.]

[seasaltkeys]

Well, I know who to ask if I'm having trouble.

What were you working on?

[really_sketchy]

I was trying to memorize so things for potions.

[She leans forward picking up the book she had been reading.]

Its just hard to keep everything straight.

[seasaltkeys]

I could you with that. Like recipes or what each ingredient does?

[really_sketchy]

Recipes. I have the ingredients down pretty well.

[She smiles, happy for his offer.]

[seasaltkeys]

Which potion are you having trouble with then?

[really_sketchy]

[She flips open the page to a list of a few potions. Most of for aliments and healing.]

This section. There are about ten of them I can't seem to remember.

[seasaltkeys]

[Roxas looks at it, since ten is a lot.]

Where do you want to start? I think I remember most of these.

[really_sketchy]

Well I sort of mix them up with each other.

[She points at a simple potion for joint aches.]

This one.

[seasaltkeys]

I guess they do have similar ingredients since they're all sort of for the same thing.

But I think this one needs to be boiled longer than the others.

[He reaches over so that he can check his notes.]

[really_sketchy]

Oh?

[She peers over his shoulder watching him curiously.]

How can you remember that though?

[seasaltkeys]

[He pauses, trying to remember how he figured it out.]

It took a while to get, but it's because of the bat spleens. They're tough so you have to let them sit for a while and stew. The book doesn't really tell you that though.

[really_sketchy]

Oh..

[She looks down at the book and then scribbles some in her notes.]

Thank you!

[seasaltkeys]

No problem. The thing with potions is that a lot of times it's all trial and error. You have to learn about the ingredients themselves.

[really_sketchy]

I'm lucky to have you then.

[Namine smiles brightly.]

I think if I keep going with that I should remember.

[seasaltkeys]

I can lend you some of my notes? I try to keep track of those kinds of things. So that I don't forget.

[Is he blushing? He might be blushing.]

[really_sketchy]

Really!

[Her smile widens slightly and at the sight of his blush she feels her cheeks warm in response. It's totally not awkward.]

Thank you, I'll return them quickly. I'm sure you have to study too.

[seasaltkeys]

Sure, but don't feel like you have to rush. I mean, I don't think I'll need them right away, but it's not like I don't know where to find you...

[really_sketchy]

[She nods, her smile cemented in place.]

Yes.

[They are in the same house so it'd be easy for them to find each other should he need his notes back and more often than not she'll study in the library or common room.]

Thank you again Roxas.

[seasaltkeys]

It's really nothing.

Good luck.

[really_sketchy]

Yes.

[Namine smiles and then begins to gather her books together. She wants to copy his notes if she can and she already knows it will take some time. It was also a good way to remember it so she really didn't mind.]
