"DO YOU UNDERSTAND why you have to toast the dragon thorax in a girding potion?" mattheo glanced at ren.
"cause it kills the bacteria and it would mess up the potion?" ren furrowed her brows.
"close," he rubbed his hand up and down her back. "just think about what happens when you toast them."
"i don't know any of this, mattheo!" she set her quill down and turned to him. "i'm hopeless."
"no you're not, baby. what happens when you toast the dragon thorax?"
"they become brown?"
he smiled, "the sugars and proteins react together. it's called the maillard reaction."
"how am i to know that? you know all of this stuff that i've never heard of."
"and there's nothing wrong with that." mattheo assured. "but i find knowing why things work helps me understand things better. i thought maybe it could help you, but i think you just get overwhelmed by too much information."
ren didn't respond, just turned back to her homework.
"so when you toast the dragon thorax, the proteins and sugar rearrange in a way they can break down easier and combine with everything else in the potion." mattheo explained.
ren nodded. "okay."
"so why do we have to toast the dragon thorax in a girding potion?"
"so it can combine better?"
"good girl," he kissed the side of her head. "you understand everything, we just need to break down what happens."
"it takes me three times as long to do my homework as it does for you." she complained.
"considering one of us has dyslexia and add and one of us doesn't, it makes sense."
"it's stupid." she mumbled.
"and not your fault," he reminded her.
"i know." she spoke softly.
"you should." he affirmed. "now give me a kiss."
she crunched her nose. "you're so greedy."
"you give the best kisses."
"thank you." she smiled against his lips.
he moved down her neck. "you always taste like strawberries."
"i love strawberries." she breathed out.
"me too." he moved her work off of her lap and gently laid her down.

zoyablack are you sponsored by calvin klein or something
riddle what
zoyablack you post a lot of thirst traps with calvin klein's usually of yourself what are you even doing posting pictures of ren
riddle she doesn't have a problem with it
zoyablack let's be real ren doesn't have a problem with most things besides cussing and she's probably grinning like an idiot right now
riddle true
zoyablack but what are your intentions with ren
riddle am i going to have to sit through this five times?
zoyablack five?
riddle james, remus, sirius, harry and you apparently
zoyablack do you not use oxford commas
riddle what
zoyablack the comma before the and
riddle oh i mean i guess i do just a typo i suppose?
zoyablack but realistically it'd be like twice because me and then james, sirius, and remus would all do it at once to try and seem more intimidating not that they aren't james and sirius are aurors and remus is a werewolf but harry will unsuccessfully try to give you the talk
riddle i see
zoyablack so your intentions?
riddle to date her
zoyablack just date? is this a school thing? do you see the two of you together in five years? getting married and having kids? do you want kids? if you don't maybe you should break up right now
riddle i do want children and i haven't thought that far not even dating her yet we're moving at her pace as i'm sure she's told you
zoyablack you'd be correct i have to say i appreciate that especially given your promiscuousness
