The group had a lot of fun during the break and were together every day doing whatever they could come up with. Everything from stealing Professor Kim's chair and riding it down the moving stairs to learning Jeno's owl, Halkoa, to catch snowballs. The fun had to end and school began again. They were back to rushing into Professor Jeong's Potions class and getting scolded for being late.

And it actually was happening right now. Renjun and Jeno were running through the corridors of the school on the way to Professor Jeong's classroom, obviously late.

"Fuck you Jeno why didn't you just get up when I told you!"

Renjun panted as he ran but still got out a few curses at his boyfriend. Renjun and Jeno were together as Ravenclaw and Gryffindor first years had potions together, while Jaemin was outside by Johnny's house for Care of Magical Creatures.

The two arrived by the classroom and burst in through the door which made everyone turn towards them. Renjun and Jeno quickly bowed towards Professor Jeong and went to their seats, they were glad that Jaehyun didn't give them any scolding and only turned back to teaching.

"In the second part you need to add two crushed juniper berries, two drops of unicorn tears which you are not allowed to spill as it's really hard to find and then stir clockwise until it becomes orange."

Jeno turned to Renjun with eyes wide open in despair, how was he going to make this potion when he missed the first part of the instructions. Renjun wasn't looking at him and was already on his way to pick up ingredients. He had studied a lot back home in the mansion and already knew how to make the erase potion. Jeno followed Renjun like a lost puppy and picked up the same ingredients as him, he was going to try to follow what Renjun was doing.

"Renjun, what should I do now?"

"Is this right?"

"Oh no it's spitting fire!"

Renjun was growing annoyed as Jeno continued to pester him about what to do. Couldn't he just do the same, it wasn't that hard.

"You're supposed to crush the juniper berries, not taste them."

Jeno slowly retracted his hand from his mouth and put the berries on the counter instead. He then started banging on them with his fist as he didn't know how to crush them. As Renjun, who was trying to get only two drops of unicorn tears on his ladle, noticed what he was doing he quickly shooed him away. He grabbed a knife and pressed it on the berries before throwing them into Jeno's cauldron. Jeno only kept himself out of the way of his boyfriend after that, letting the experienced one make both their potions.

"See didn't that go well."

Renjun's head snapped around so fast that Jeno was scared that his neck was going to break.

"Well? WELL? That didn't fucking go well! You tried to eat juniper berries and then later made both our potions spill to the floor."

Renjun was fuming, Jeno's clumsiness made him get an F. If only Jeno actually had kept himself out of the way instead of trying to help making both their cauldrons fall on the floor.

Renjun was about to continue scolding Jeno when he heard some people whispering something about their friend group. He focused his hearing on that group of people.

"... so the Na brothers apparently are only using them. Like they're only friends with them so that they would look nicer and get more attention."

Renjun had stopped in the middle of the corridor and was quivering with anger.

"Omg yeah I also heard something about them wanting to get them to Mr.Na. He's probably gonna do something really bad to them, I feel bad for the others. I wouldn't want to be friends with someone who would betray me like that."
