Potions was one lesson that Kaiser wasn't actually too terrible at... at least as far as actually brewing the mixtures went. It was funny, really; for someone who did not like being told what to do in the slightest, he was actually quite good at closely following instructions, when he was in the right frame of mind. As for all the theory, though? The essays, the knowledge of ingredients, knowing how different things reacted together or why stirring clockwise would complete a potion whereas stirring anticlockwise would make it explode... all lost on him. He could brew you a potion, but he couldn't tell you how or why it worked.

Kaiser was not bothered by the chill in the corridors. He felt it, sure, of course he did, but he could cope with it, what with knowing he had a roof over his head and hot meals to look forward to. He'd survived bitter winters without that kind of security. Even so, he wasn't in the best of moods when he entered the classroom, though his expression was at least more distracted than gloomy.

Offering Professor Noble a small nod in greeting, Kaiser headed directly for a workstation and got himself settled, but his thoughts were a million miles away from the potions classroom which... well, probably wasn't wise, but there it was.
