Hence her normal habit of showing up to classes yet not always getting homework in on time. Eventually she’d probably have to work on that part, but not yet. Not right now, not when she didn’t have exams or anything to worry about. So far, she hadn’t had a lot to worry about, aside from wanting to practice the Patronus charm.

She hadn’t thought she’d get that done in the common room, and definitely not over at the study tables, but she’d found herself wandering over in that direction anyhow. If anything, it seemed quieter than the main area of the common room, so maybe she could read in peace. Except, as she’d gotten nearer, she saw a familiar person at one of the tables, staring at an equally familiar vial. Familiar only in that it looked an awful lot like the one she’d been carrying around in her bag since the Potions lesson, just in case she found the most opportune time to use it. She knew he wouldn’t have taken hers, so it had to be his and that told her a lot about him. Maybe that was why she liked him.

Either way, she’d ended up wandering nearer, until she dropped her bag on the table and perched on the seat next to him. “I don’t think staring at it is how you use it,” she commented. Who needed proper greetings? Not Brooklyn, not when she already knew what someone thought of her.

Too much work, and he only has a few days to do all of that, and turn his homework in on time. Plan B would be...to find someone who is willing to take his potion and just get on with it.

He’s got a list of people in his head, which just might be willing to take his potion. He’d go and ask them...unless they show up soon in the common room?

Plan C would be to do the homework’s second option. Safely putting his vial of Fear potion on the table, Ethan rummaged through his belongings, and pulled out a particular set of parchments and re-read the instruction given by Professor Culloden. At first, Option B looked like an easy choice to take, but the amount of time and research that he needed to accomplish would be great too.

The sixth year need not look up (or down) to see the person who joined him at the study area. The voice, and the way she carried herself around was all too familiar. “Good day to you too, Brooklyn.” He said grinning from ear to ear. She IS a scary she-Snake, no doubt about that, but he knew that she’s got a vulnerable spot behind all that sass, which, to Ethan, makes her adorable. Of course, he wouldn’t say that out loud to her. The sixth year didn’t want to be hexed BY a THIRD year, thank you very much. “All caught up on homework, or...?” he asked as he finally looked at her, a grin still on his face. Does she need help from an older student? It was unlikely because it’s Brooklyn Andrews, but who knows?

Cutty had gotten the message. He took a moment to consider it and wonder what it could be about. Was it serious? Or a prank? Or something else entirely? And then he promptly forgot about it. So it was by sheer coincidence that he'd come from the Slytherin Boy's Dorms bearing his potions homework to find his cousin and Andrews talking. Or it looked like they were talking. It seemed to be going better for Andrews than it had with Whitty. Honestly, he was surprised Andrews still spoke to any of the Slytherin boys.

He dug out his phial of milky looking fear potion and headed over to the study tables. "How would yew two like to take a little mind trip?" He asked, placing the potion onto the surface of the table clearly visible to all parties. "I got some movin' images in me bahg that'll make this juice conjure dowright primal levels. I'm talkin' shark infested waters at night." What the hell was Cutty even...? "Without a boat." What??
