You're late. eyes flicker quickly over the user, a hint of something other than annoyance briefly crossing his face.
Sorry prof, I didn't mean to be. I just got lost, and I wasn't paying attention to the time because I was lost in thought about you.
You're ridiculous. Just sit down and pay attention.
stares coldly at SizzlinThief
I believe you were given a task yesterday. Get it done. Now.
Good. And if you have any questions or need help from me, don't hesitate to ask. softens slightly
Actually, I do need some help... What does "spontaneous human combustion" mean? I heard some students talking about it in the halls, and they seemed scared.
leans forward, eyes softening even more Well, it's a phenomenon where a person suddenly bursts into flames, often resulting in death. Quite an unpleasant way to go, I imagine. The cause is still unknown. I'll talk to the students. No need to worry.
Thank you so much, Professor Malfoy. Your kindness means the world to me, and it gives me more confidence to ask for help in the future.
You're welcome. pauses, looks away awkwardly, then looks back at SizzlinThief If you ever need anything, even if you think it's silly, just let me know. I'm here to help.
Okay! jumps excitedly I will definitely take you up on that offer, professor. I am sure that I will need some help later in the year. Especially since I am not very talented in potions, as my test results showed.
I'm sure it'll be fine. You'll get better at it with practice. And if you need any help, just ask. That's what I'm here for. smiles reassuringly
stands straight, looking determined Thank you, Professor Malfoy. I'll keep that in mind. I won't give up until I become a potioneer like you.
I look forward to seeing your progress. Keep up the good work. smiles genuinely
thank you, professor. I'll try my best! grins brightly, going over the day's lesson in mind
Good. Now go back to your seat and start working on your task. And remember, if you need any help, I'm here for you. smiles again, and nods encouragingly
Okay! thanks prof! returns to seat and begins working, occasionally glancing at Draco with gratefulness.
Once SizzlinThief has completed their task, Draco approaches them and gives them a nod of approval.
I show him the task i completed
Impressive work. looks at the task closely, clearly impressed I expected nothing less from a student like you. Keep up the good work.
thanks! I can't wait to be a potions master like you when I graduate.
That's great to hear. We can't have all the fun by ourselves. We need more people to carry on our legacy.
I hope I'm able to live up to your expectations, professor. I won't let you down.
I have no doubt about that. You have potential. Don't forget to work hard and use your talents wisely. And if you ever need any help, you know where to find me.
Yes, definitely! I'll make sure to stay focused and study hard so I can excel in potions. Thank you so much for believing in me, Professor Malfoy. Your guidance means everything to me.
It's my job to teach and guide you. You're making me proud. Keep it up. gives SizzlinThief a small smile
Oh, thank you, Professor! I'll continue working hard to make you proud. Smiles brightly at Draco
Remember, being a potioneer isn't all fun and games. It requires dedication and discipline. Stick to your studies, don't get distracted by silly distractions, and you'll get far. smiles approvingly
I understand, Professor. I'll stay committed to my studies and maintain a level head, just like a true potioneer. nods earnestly
Excellent. Now, there's one last thing I want you to know. While we may be enemies in the eyes of everyone else, remember that I see you as a worthy rival. Don't let anyone or anything stand in your way, and don't ever back down. smirks
listening carefully, with interest Okay, I got it. I'll always strive to be the best and never back down. Just like a true potioneer. Smiles at Draco
Excellent attitude. I expect great things from you. Now, continue your studies. I'll be watching your progress closely. gives SizzlinThief a subtle wink
Very well, Professor. I'll dedicate myself fully to my studies and aim to surpass all expectations. Looks at Draco with determination
That's the spirit. walks around the room, helping the other students, occasionally glancing over at SizzlinThief with a proud smile Keep up the good work, all of you. pauses, looks at SizzlinThief with intensity And remember, SizzlinThief, this isn't just about being a potioneer. It's about becoming a master. A true master. Do not disappoint me.
Yes, Professor Malfoy. I'll aim to be a master, not just a potioneer. I won't let you down. Stands straight, looking determined.
Good. Remember, a master is someone who can control and manipulate magic, rather than simply using it. pauses, his voice dropping slightly There is something else you should know... The art of being a potioneer is not just about mastering spells and brewing potions. It's about understanding the science behind it. The chemistry. The alchemy. It's about transcending the mundane and tapping into something deeper, something more powerful. smiles mysteriously
That sounds fascinating, Professor. I didn't know potions had such a deep science behind them. Is there a special technique or something you've discovered through your studies?
Ah, there's a secret potion called the Elixir of Time. It allows the potioneer to manipulate time itself. It's highly dangerous and difficult to brew, but it holds immense power. Many believe that it could change the world. It would allow us to undo past mistakes, alter fate itself, or even prevent disasters before they happen. Imagine the possibilities. pauses, his voice becoming softer It's something I've always dreamed of mastering myself.
Wow, the Elixir of Time sounds incredible. I'd love to learn how to brew it someday. Do you think I could learn to brew it under your tutelage, Professor Malfoy?
Of course, SizzlinThief. I wouldn't dream of denying you the chance to learn something as powerful as the Elixir of Time.
That's great to hear, Professor. I can't wait to begin studying the Elixir of Time with you. Thank you for your guidance. smiles brightly at Draco
Remember, SizzlinThief, the path to mastering the Elixir of Time will not be easy. It will demand dedication, discipline, and endless practice. Are you prepared for that? raises an eyebrow, smirking
I am! I'll give it my all and put in the effort needed to master the Elixir of Time. Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Professor Malfoy. Grins confidently at Draco
Very well. Then we shall begin your training immediately. gestures towards a hidden chamber in the back of the classroom Follow me. And remember, SizzlinThief, the path to mastery is paved with pain. But trust me, the rewards are worth it. leads SizzlinThief into the hidden chamber
