Potions Class | Regulus & Severus.
Severus entered the Potions classroom, a scowl plastered across his face. It was a pity, the only two things he enjoyed about school had to be ruined by the idiotic professors that Headmaster found suitable for the subject positions. Slughorn knew nothing about Potions; he had told Severus countless times the 'theories' (to him, Severus had tested them all and they worked successful) Severus had on improving a potion and lessening the brew time was just damn near impossible. Yet, each time Severus had used his edits in class on a potion, and finished minutes before everyone else it simply passed through Slughorn's head and the man assumed he had just chopped his ingredients quicker than the other students. Which made absolutely no sense, but he kept his mouth shut at the sake of his house's points.
... Still. To tell the old man off just once might actually bring a beaming smile on Severus' face as he left the room with the man standing behind him, jaw dropped the floor and looking like the idiot he definitely was. He dropped his pile of books none-too-carefully on the desk, smirking at the wince that Slughorn gave from the loud noise. He wished the desk would break, actually he might break it if Slughorn stopped him after class once more to invite him to that idiotic club that even Lily attended.
Severus removed his Potions book from the pile, sliding the rest of the pile to the edge of the desk but not before plucking a piece of parchment to copy down any notes or homework assignments they would be given. When he glanced up to read the board, he frowned at the fact that Slughorn insisted on a partner, and for such an easy brew. He questioned the man's sanity. He turned his head and peered around the room, his face screwing up in distaste at the fact that the class was a mix of Gryffindor and Slytherin. All the Gryffindors he'd rather chew his hand off than work with, and most of the Slytherin's just annoyed him to hell. That is except for Regulus who had just entered the classroom.
He slid the chair out from under the table that was next to his own chair. "Regulus," he called, gesturing to the chair.
