Hasn't seen Zahra today nor was he forced into another argument with her.

today's been a good day.

"and yet you're also up, lily.

I will sleep. I simply have to work out the kinks with this potion."

The record player could be heard humming in the background as he moved through the makeshift potion room.

Cauldron bubbled, and smoke filled the space within the old classroom.

He was content. Firmly in the belief that nothing could ruin his day.

-- insane.
Had lily not seen the way that he and Zahra barely could stand to be in the same room? How constantly the pair were pickering or competing.
How could she possibly come to a conclusion so wrong.
" stupid.
A word I never thought I'd associate with you. Yet, here we are. "

" I have no desire to.
Nor do I need any more friends.
I have enough."
He responded, a frown evident upon his features. His head would snap up and dark eyes met emerald.
The thought that he liked Zahra was ridiculous, utterly so.

" I do not like her. That's... that's..." --

He noted the grin and surprised himself by holding onto the urge to roll his eyes.

He's not much for the outdoors.
But his desire to avoid both women may push to do it.

has awoken early, and has plans to spend his day within the potions room.

or more accurately sneak down to the potions class and pray no one finds him in there.

is in need of a new friend.

his current one seems to have lost her mind.

unfortunately, shafiq knows where the library is and, unfortunately, his favorite nook.

-- worst instincts.

" what?"

confusion colored the single word. what could she possibly mean?

" lils, what are you talking about?"

" I'm not dramatic. I'm merely stating the truth."
logically, severus knew that the constant back and forth snapping between Petunia and him, was silly. yet he couldn't help it. the girl knew how to crawl beneath his skin. try as he might to act above it ; she persistently drew out his --

-- An experiment. That was all, this was. nothing more, nothing less.
if he was to prove his point, he'd need data. so he'll get to know her and prove why she is the one with the nonsense attitude.

Ha. the only one whose attitude is absolute nonsense. would be hers.

" Hard to form an opinion on someone who spends their time constantly trying to one up you."
squints.

" Fine. Let's get to know another. Do proper research and see whether my statement holds credibility." --

gives a surprise noise as she elbows his side.
" oi.

no, I've worked with acid, and it is nothing compared to your sister."

shoots her a look. a scrunch of his nose.

" I'm aware...Zahara and I's relationship is...complicated."

He loathed the girl, and despite himself, he also admired her.

" didn't know the honesty could now be misconstrued as nonsense.

good to know. "

Pauses.

What is it that she could possibly consider to be nonsense?

did he stutter??

" ha ha."

he retorted, clear unamused.

" at least your sister has nothing but her acid tongue. Zahra has magic -- "

Zahra and Petunia.

Fucking hell.

... can he get a moments rest?
