This was a very different way of doing a Potions class. He half-expected to be told to make a potion as well but...... DIY?

But, looking around, maybe this was a good thing.

Getting up, Lucas immediately moved over to the workstation with the broken mugs and plates and bowls. It just seemed easy, yeah? He even knew exactly what glue to use - because Spellotape was not the answer here. But even then, he had a feeling that this was going to be harder than he expected. Why? Because these were similar colours.

Picking up a few of the broken pieces, he started examining them over. There were round pieces and flat pieces and even a piece that had a fancy little curve at the end - a handle? Huh. But because these colour were the same, he...... was going for the shape, instead.

This was like a jigsaw puzzle, wasn't it?

Turning around, the third year moved to the cauldrons and grabbed another cup of the StuckOnGlu before heading back to the workstation. The hardest part? Finding the right pieces to put together. He let the flat pieces sit out and just started putting together the curved pieces. It was easier, you know? And the darker, uh, beige? Yeah, the darker shades were sticking out to him so he was going to work with that.

The cup of StuckOnGlu sat on the side while he started trying to put the different pieces together. The very curved bit? That had to go at the bottom. And then the ones that had a rounded edge had to go at the top, right? It was just the middle that was..... well, hard. There were big pieces and small pieces and then pieces that didn't fit even if they looked like they should fit.

Uggghhhhhh.

He didn't know how long he had been working on the pieces but, at some point, Lucas stepped back from the piles of pieces and..... nodded. To himself. Nod nod. This was it. He didn't know why he was feeling so nervous but he knew he couldn't just stand there and not do anything, right? So grabbing the bottom piece, he started applying some glue around it. All the way around the sharp edges that he was glad he wasn't touching with his fingers.

Good call, Noble.

Sticking the pieces together took longer than he expected but he was also glad that he'd figured out where they go first. If not, he might've been standing here all day and that would've been embarrassing. But the only embarrassing part of this was that some of the glue was spilling over the edges and this bowl was slowly becoming knobbly and weird.

When he finished, the Gryffindor held the bowl up and....... just looked at it. Awkwardly. It was still in one piece, yeah? And that was the most important part. But he couldn't help but feel like he'd like this to be smoother. Because this was not going to be sold to anyone.

Don't use this, Noble.
