Jessa's first thought was to ask her Prefect to be her partner--because he wouldn't mind, right?--but then he was probably working with Olivia and she wasn't gonna try to change that.
With a huff, Jessa twisted in her seat trying to find anyone else that may have been in need of a work buddy. They kept getting snatched up. Every time she thought to ask someone, that someone ended up having someone else swoop in.
Ugh, she hated partner work. Sure, she usually worked with Derf when he wasn't working with Abey or someone else but those were usually by choice. The specific instruction to partner up changed the whole game as you could see.
Somewhat disenchanted with this whole process, the young girl moved to get the ingredients she would need. Might as well be productive. Maybe the Professor would even let her work on her own if he didn't notice she didn't have a partner. To be sure, she would cover all her bases first. "Anyone wanna partner with me?" There, she'd asked, now if needed, she would find a corner and get this done herself.
Shay was listening to the students give their answers and the professor commenting about them. Then she heard the magic words.......popcorn balls. They would be making popcorn balls. Well this class was just getting better and better. The professor began to give instructions and talk about the spell that they would be using. Shay began to take notes. There was a lot to remember and she certainly didn't want to mess up some perfectly good popcorn balls.
Now all Shay needed was a partner. Unfortunately, she had taken a little too long writing. Many of the students had already paired up. Noelle and Ava were working together. So they were not options. Then Shay heard a voice asking for a partner. Seeing the younger Ravenclaw (
Jessa) who made the request, she approached her.
"Hi, I'm Shay. Do you want to be partners?" Hopefully the Claw wouldn't mind working with her.
