Hmm. Lucas had been SO excited about his answer...but Professor B seemed a little...harsh? About it? He crinkled his nose and made a slight face. Kinda' offensive, if you asked Lucas, to put down someone's traditional medicine.

Actually, it irked Lucas more than he cared to admit. Like it was an attack on his mother's ideas and values, even if it wasn't, but it FELT that way. Whatever. The teenager rolled his eyes when Professor B wasn't looking....but then remembered how disrespectful that was and wished he hadn't, but it had been DONE. ATTITUDE HAD BEEN HAD. NO TAKING IT BACK NOW.

MERLIN.

RICE THOUGH? Lucas' ears perked because rice sounded soooooOOOooo good right now --- but alas, it wasn't the food. It was the technique they'd be using today in class. Right. He couldn't even receive food from home anymore because they were checking OWLS and no eating outside the Great Hall so...like....he missed noodles and rice and all the instant cups he used to snack on all the time. It was practically killing him. He glanced around quietly, looking for someone who needed a partner...Derf already had someone...ummm. He felt kinda' awkward asking people....Maxton had gone with Zachary.

"Anyone wanna' partner with me?"
