"Forgive me if I don't believe you, and rather consider you're trying to pull the wool over my eyes. Again."
He coughed, looking along the table of Snakes. "I'm sure they can live without you for ten minutes. I'm also quite sure that Professor Vance will be more than understanding when I tell her that it's to ensure all your extracurricular hard work didn't go to waste."
And that last bit wasn't a lie. Alec's potion was pretty much done, only requiring the final step to be completed. Noble just had a few less pleasant tasks to be completed first. ”You can’t control that inner eye, y’know?” Flynn’s attention was briefly upon Lucifer when he turned to look at him then he moved it towards the Slytherin table, which was filling up now with his housemates. He proceeded to look at the staff table now, noting that both his Head of House and Myers were present.
The hamster wheel in his head was turning now because he did NOT want to get stuck completing tasks on his last day at school before summer, especially when he had just completed his exams.
..... but his potion........ ”Why don’t you go ask her yourself then?” He kept his poker-face on, but he was internally screaming at himself for even asking that. What were the chances of Professor Vance helping him out of this situation? 10%? .05%? Merlin, send help. “I’m sure she’ll understand that I can go get my potion after the feast before I board the train.” Anything to get him out of whatever horrendous task the man had in mind for him to do and still be able to get his hands on that potion he spend forever and a day brewing.
And if this didn’t work - well, he didn’t know what he was going to do, except maybe give up.... or run.... or put on a good dramatic show.
