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?"

Luckily for Atlas Flamsteed, Claudine had developed patience {and a resounding amount of tolerance} for humans in general over the last couple of years. Despite her reluctance to work with many persons, if anyone wanted to partner with her, she would not usually refuse. The seventh year straightened up and looked around to find those bright blue eyes looking right at her. “Hi.” Claudine was surprised to find him here beside her but it would make sense that he was, particularly if his friends had already paired off. “Fine by me. Have a seat.” She indicated to the free one beside her which had been vacated by another student a short while ago when they went to partner up.

Okay. It looked as though she definitely was not going to wiggle out and work on her own. Better make the best of it. “So.” Claudine gave the Gryffindor a small smile. It was more of a tentative one but not altogether cold. Listen, an introvert working with anyone they were unfamiliar with was no easy feat. “Have you given a thought as yet to any of the questions Hernandez put forward?” Atlas was brilliant, the Snakette knew from her observations; there would be no wishy-washy thoughts on his part. Thank the stars.

“One of my initial thoughts is that using too much aconite could paralyse the drinker.” Whether it be you yourself or someone else. “I mean, I know there’s the nausea and vomiting but paralysis…” Her voice trailed off. Not being in control of yourself, no matter how short of a period, was scary.
