"I..uh...oh" he hated when that happened because it made him feel less powerful than he thought he was.

"Well, i don't..." he turned his gaze away and looked at the shelves instead. "hate you either, you know...never did" he had mumbled the rest of the sentence before he looked back again. "And i'm working on my behaviour around the staff at least. Flailsteed is helping me with it actually..." so yeah. That didn't mean he stopped using pranks and rudeness. The students weren't safe yet heh. Only a few days ago he had pranked a Ravenclaw in to getting a branch from the Whomping Willow. And the bloody idiot had done it.

Wait...WHAT? Zander hadn't gotten a detention but they had just talked?! "YA!" he yelled. It was a habit he was TRYING to get rid of but sometimes it just happened " I messed up my hate potion because of all that! I thought Zander had been in real trouble!" .........Had he just said that he was concerned for another person? Nope! nope he hadn't! except he did.

At the mention of him giving books to read, the Gryffindor groaned. Seriously? books? UGH. Even if they were potion books he could learn from just the thought of READING made everything boring. But he would accept the offer non the less by nodding his head a few seconds afterwards. Alright so the assignment it was. Kevin actually had the list with him in his robe pocket so he took it out and unfolded it. "Okay"

He stood up from the chair and walked to the table before placing the list down. He scanned it with his eyes and sighed heavily. "I hate potions that requires waiting!" He hated even waiting for two minutes let alone a whole week! "Is everything here in this room? I've never been in here before..."

So Kevin could also be at a loss for words.

Cosgrach noted it down and was glad to see it - not for making Kevin uncomfortable, but for seeing that the boy cared.

He let the 'Flailsteed' pass. Instead, he smiled in a friendly way. See how civil they both were? How smooth it made things go? Hopefully Kevin took notice of it and acted accordingly in the future.

"I'm glad to hear," he said softly, "we are not your enemies, but people who want to help you in life for the future." Yeah? Cosgrach didn't say it out loud, as he counted on Kevin's quick wit to get the hidden meaning: 'I'll forget the past if you behave.'

The corners of his lips curled in a smirk. "Sorry for that." But really, Cosgrach bore no ill to Zander . . . only a few words and japes. It wasn't his fault the boy was so afraid of him!

Was that a groan? Cosgrach eyed the kid, but soon enough he was agreeing. Good.

"Oh, not here. I mean, there is everything here, but you should brew the assignment potion in the lab where I can see easily." It wouldn't be fair to others too. Cosgrach didn't want a mob accusing him of helping Kevin.

"We will discuss potions properties at the class tomorrow," he said, "and I'd rather we wait until that before continuing. Then, once you digest everything said at class and reading whatever you can from the books, we can meet a week later here again at this hour to see how you brew a potion." Sure, Cosgrach had seen it at lessons, but he had never paid enough attention.

Sounded good?
