it's no secret that corbyn is good at potions. him and draco malfoy are practically glued to snape's sides at the end of every lesson while the professor showers them with praise, because they just never get a potion wrong. not to mention that they're both in slytherin, so everyone expected snape to declare them as his favourite students.
daniel and harry on the other hand are not so good at potions. no matter what they do they always end up fucking it up, even with hermione's constant attempts at lecturing them on what they've done wrong. ron just sits back with a sympathetic look in his eyes every time she drags them to the library, besides, there's nothing he can do to stop his enthusiastic girlfriend once she's started.
"i happen to think that snape is doing you a favour, boys. even if you do hate him, he's offering you something that'll help you in the long run so i don't understand how you can be so appalled by the idea" hermione declares as she walks over to them, ruffling daniel's hair before taking a seat besides ron on the sofa in the gryffindor common room, daniel and harry perched on the armchairs besides them.
the fire crackles lowly as daniel releases a sigh, doing his best to fix his hair after hermione's fingers had ruffled it up. "there's no hope for us though, 'mione. no matter what he does i know i won't get any better. harry might but i have little hope that his plan to make us better will see through."
"just give it a try, mate. you can't blow the idea before you've even had the first session" ron says, arm looped lazily over hermione's shoulder as she peacefully reads a book, tucked comfortably into her boyfriend's side.
"ron's right, we'll give it a shot. snape's become a little more generous recently so i don't see why we shouldn't at least try it out. might earn us some extra points for gryffindor too, who knows" harry shrugs, letting his robes fall off of his shoulders before sitting back.
"alright, i'll take your word for it. but i swear to merlin if he has his little minions with him you won't hear the end of it for making me go" daniel warns with a chuckle, letting himself relax into the chair with a satisfied hum.

"honestly, potter, it's not that hard! just cut it up and drop it in the cauldron. see!" harry groans at draco's comment, hearing the ingredient make a small plop as it drops into the caldron.
"well, malfoy, if you would use you're damn brain for just a minute you would realise that i'm not as good at potions as you and that's the exact reason snape is doing this for us in the first place!" harry's voice had raised by the end of his retort and he feels his chest ache with want to just shut the pointy git up.
