Alexis walked down to the cold dungeons with Kara and was glad she was wearing her cloak, Alexis always seemed to be on the chilly side, even when it was comfortable to everyone else.
The door was already open so Alexis walked in and sat down in the middle of the middle table and got her cauldron out, along with her book. Nothing was written on the board, so she had no idea what potion they were going to brew today, so Alexis couldn't get her ingredients out. She was grateful that Kara was with her because she could share her body heat, even if it was only for a few minutes before they started their fires.

Kara took a seat next to Alexis and was thankful that she had someone who understood how unbelievably cold it was down in the dungeons. Carlisle always teased her about being so cold. She saw some other students greet her and Alexis and take their seats around the classroom. The chalkboard was empty and she glanced at the cauldron.
"So if I manage to mess the potion up or break something. I just want to apologize in advance okay?" Kara told Alexis with a sheepish look on her face.

Alexis giggled at Kara. "I won't let you ruin your potion though. I'm pretty good at this class. Of course if you break something, then I can't do anything to help you out, well except repairo."
Alexis started to light her fire, even though nothing was in her cauldron, she needed the heat.

Kara let out a sigh of relief.
"Thanks a bunch. That means a lot to me since Snape loves to point out all my mistakes all the time. And when you're a klutz like me, it tends to happen almost every class. So maybe he'll leave me alone this time. I know he does it to everyone who is not a Slytherin." She replied as she watched Alexis whip out her wand and light the fire underneath the cauldron.
"Good thinking." Kara commented.

Alexis laughed and tapped her forehead with the end of her wand. "I'm smart s-m-r-t," Alexis said with a small laugh.
"My dad used to always say that to me when I was little." Alexis looked around and noticed a few other students pilling into the class, but she didn't really take much notice of them, she was having a fun time talking to Kara, she was really an interesting girl to be around.

(ooc: oh wow my dad and I say that I'm s-m-r-t haha yeah we watch alot of the Simpsons lol)
Kara laughed as she pulled out her wand and placed it gently on her right side. "That's too funny, but I can tell you're really smart. So I'm glad to have your help today." She replied with a small smile towards her new friend. Kara's mom always told her that she could never have too many friends and even though she had just met Alexis probably around 30 minutes ago, she considered her a good friend already.
Kara recognized some of her fellow Gryffindors giving her strange looks as they sat down in their seats. Kara found the courage to roll her eyes and glare at them.
Suddenly the door opened and right on time as always, strolled in Professor Snape, tall and dark as ever.

Alexis saw Snape stroll in and leaned over to whisper in Kara's ear "dun duh duh!"
Alexis knew that if Snape ever heard her she would get in so much trouble, but she was having such a fun time with Kara that she couldn't help but act silly.

Kara snorted quietly as she hid her face. She tried not to laugh at Alexis' comment. The funny thing about it was it was true, pathetic as it sounded, Kara was intimidated by Professor Snape. She hid back the laughter as Snape turned around to face the front of the class. His eyes scanned the classroom glancing at all the students and then stopped in front of Kara.
"Something humorous today Miss. Sheridan?" Snape snapped at her in his deep, low voice.
Kara's eyes widened as she stood up straight in her chair and shook her head no. Only my luck, she grumbled to herself. Right in front of Alexis.
"Try not to break another cauldron today Miss. Sheridan." Snape barked at her before turning to the chalkboard and with a lift of his wand, the potion and it's ingredients appeared on the board.
Kara blushed and turned to Alexis. 'Sorry' she mouthed to her.

Alexis felt bad for getting Kara in trouble, and so she decided not to say anything else to her because it seemed that Snape really did pick on Kara more than everyone else. Finally when he wrote the ingredients on the board and told them to begin, they could have a quiet conversation.
"Aww, Kara, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get you in trouble." Alexis said.

(ooc: Haha Desi you called me Katie in there ) Kara turned to Alexis and tried so hard not to roll her eyes, "No it wasn't you. It's my own fault. So please don't worry about it." Kara replied as she glanced at the materials they needed and Snape told the class to begin. She glanced over and saw Alexis looking at her, "Really I'm use to messing up, it's okay. Now let's get going so we can get out of here!" She said to Alexis with a smile.

(ooc: I fixed it!)
Alexis shrugged her shoulders and followed Kara to the student cupboards. "So have you ever made a shrieking potion (ooc: I just made that up lol) before?" Alexis asked.
Alexis had made it before so she knew exactly what to do, but if Kara had never made it before, she knew it could be a difficult potion to brew.

(ooc: cool potion!)
Kara raised both eyebrows. "I hate to say it, but I haven't. Yet Carlisle has told me about it before. He said it has something to do with...uh...shrieking. Yeah I don't really pay attention when Carlisle talks about potions. He's one of my best friends, but he can be boring." She replied with a laugh as she watched Alexis point out different ingredients and she helped Alexis carry them back to their table.
Kara saw the look on Alexis' face after her reply, "Is it hard to make?"

Alexis giggled. "Yes silly it has something to do with shrieking. It's supposed to help when you loose your voice it can help you get it back. It's actually pretty cool, and it is a little hard to make, but don't worry, I have made it before so I will help you out if you need it."
Alexis started to cut up some of the ingredients and place them into her cauldron.

Kara let out a laugh. "That's pretty cool and interesting. Just tell me what to do and I'll do it for you. You lead the way Alexis and cool you've made this before? Note to self: Sit with Alexis more." Kara replied with a laugh.
"Dont worry, I've done several kind of potions before, just not this one. This is usually the class that I beg Carlisle to take with me, but he stopped my 3rd year saying I need to deal with Snape and this class on my own. Big meanie." She playfully scowled and giggled.

Alexis laughed. "Well I'm just glad I have someone to sit with me now. Most of the people in here don't get along with me, then think I'm a know-it-all in Potions." Alexis said.
"Okay first off cut up those rabbit heart strings. After you do that you can add those to the cauldron and boil it."
