His head shot around towards the chuckle and eyes briefly narrowed on the younger Hufflepuff who had the tendency of being particularly loud. Was she laughing AT him or WITH him? Considering Atlas had told no joke, he assumed the first one and was not particularly a fan. But the squinting had stopped and he was otherwise not making any sort of unpleasant looks. The moment had passed, as it were.

His brilliant blues fell on Remy (the back of her head at least) and he sort of stared there for a moment while wondering if she had made that face, the one with the tongue, when she had said disgusting.

Tongues. Hmmm.

Pulled from his daydream as the professor address him, Atlas felt stupid when the professor seemed to have no idea what he was talking about. The Gryffindor SWORE there was something to do with sugar though! An itch that was scratched by the most unexpected of people in Ashley Fox. Go figure. The professor had already made him feel like a dunce and now here was the Ravenclaw to pour a bit of salt into the wound. BUT, for the record, he would like to point out that he had been RIGHT and there WAS something important about sugar.

So...so there.

But then the professor said something else that had Atlas...concerned. When the mention of Remus Lupin came up.

"So!" His hand was up but there was no pointing this time. "That means this potion is only like...a little over a century and a half ish old, right? Since Remuis Lupin was at Hogwarts like...in the 1970's..."

Also...toxic if brewed incorrectly? Hello hospital wing, will be seeing you soon.

Or...if he paired with someone who knew what they were doing then maybe he wouldn't. Looking around, his stomach sunk at the reminder that Nemesis Upstead was not here. They were one of the few people who seemed to have the patience in dealing with Atlas' fumbling and general accidentproneness when it came to things, particularly potions. Though perhaps he should not dream to assume that Nemesis would have wanted to pair with him anyway.

"...you're not alone..."

"...neither are you..."

Anyway. Sluggishly, Atlas stood and looked around at other options when his eyes fell on another Slytherin student who he was not particularly a fan of nor close with but...he knew knew what she was doing. His stomach and immune system would thank him later. Also the professor for possible lack of clean up. Technically the instructions were to grab a friend...which he would have preferred to grab Remy or Valentina or unrequited love-of-his-life Phoebe James. But...here he was, tapping Claudine Blaze on the shoulder.

"...if you don't mind..will you partner with me?"
