Giggle. Poor Lily having her NEWTs this term. As a Ravenclaw, she was bound to do awesome at them. Even though she didn't buy into the House classification stuff so much anymore, Lux figured it had to be somewhat true that Ravenclaws were smart. There were smart people in every House and that had to mean that there were smart Ravenclaws! "Very true about it being inevitable. Unless I left school which I don't plan on doing." The tests would be very important if she was intending to pursue potion-brewing, and unless her ambitions suddenly changed that would be the case. Potion-brewing wasn't Quidditch, but she was coming to terms with the fact that her flying was probably never going to happen.

Nod. The Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures scores made a lot of sense to her. And it was good to see that they were on the same page as far as Professor Culloden being helpful; of course he would be seeing as he was the Potions Master for the school. "He says I'm already doing well and that I can get better with more practice. He gave me a vial of potion as a present!" Lux really liked Professor Culloden because he was a very nice man.

Considering there had been so much that was rather depressing as of late, it felt good to laugh. Lily could almost pretend that it wasn’t so cold around her, and that things were completely normal. Not that things were ever completely normal at Hogwarts, which she’d known even though she hadn’t been there all seven terms. Stories provided the rest of her knowledge, and probably Lux’s as well.

She wasn’t actually that worried about NEWTs, either. She knew she’d been studying, and she knew what she was good at. Especially when there almost literally wasn’t anything else to do aside from studying lately, since there was only so much she could do while sitting near the common room fire. It was either studying or playing her guitar. “That’s the only way I could think of to escape exams. To leave school, but then it’d be hard to find jobs later on, too. Since having the knowledge and everything seems to help, even if you don’t use it,” she replied, shrugging slightly. Either way, she wasn’t going to let Lux abandon school. She didn’t know how she’d actually have any influence over that, but she was going to make sure her friend did well.

It seemed like the suggestion as to which classes might be useful when studying potion brewing was taken well, too. At least, she thought it had made sense, since they used plants and animal parts so often in Potions lessons. Of course, Professor Culloden would be the best when it came to knowledge of what was important. Any Potions professor would be, unless Lux could contact any other potioneers. “That’s nice of him. What’s the potion supposed to do?,” she asked, curious. It had to have some sort of use. “Practice is always a good idea,” she’d agreed. The subject didn’t even matter. Practice was the only way to get better at anything, as far as she knew.
