Tutoring From Hell l Scott & Lucifer

[whitetrashwizard]

  Panicking, definitely panicking. Lucifer watched with an ever growing smile as Scott warred with himself and then started picking up ingredients again. More moonstone at this juncture would be a terrible idea, but Lucifer waited for a moment before saying “Stop.” He pointed cheekily at the potion, which was now beginning to lighten to a paler and more delicate pink. “Patience, young padawan.”

[puppyeyedwolf]

Stopping seconds before he went to add more moonstone, he looked down at the potion and saw it had finally turned pink. "Sorry, but it's not written in the book. Wait, you knew that was going to happen didn't you?" He asked looking up at Lucifer arching an eyebrow questioningly. He had noticed that Lucifer hadn't told him to stop until he was about to pinch out some more moonstone for the potion.

Tutoring From Hell l Scott & Lucifer

[whitetrashwizard]

  From his vantage point Lucifer had the perfect view of both Scott and his cauldron. The transition had gone exactly as he’d expected. The bright color would fade into a more obvious pink, but Scott’s confusion and the slightly panicked look on his face were absolutely hilarious. “Everything alright?” he asked, raising his eyebrows expectantly. Lucifer would stop him if Scott tried to sabotage himself (he was supposed to tutor after all) but he was going to let the kid sweat it out first.

[puppyeyedwolf]

Scott looked quickly up as he heard Lucifer talk. Oh god, he thought he had been doing alright. Oh god! Shaking his head quickly, he hastily starting to read the recipe through again trying to figure out what he had done wrong. "N-no nothing's wrong." he said shooting Lucifer a not so believable fake smile. He really didn't want to screw this up. Wait, maybe if he added more moonstone it would work! Looking around the table, he picked up the pouch of moonstone and started mentally measuring how much more he should put in.

[whitetrashwizard]

  With such quick improvement, Lucifer couldn’t help but feel pride. It was a weakness of his, to be sure, but they were Gryffindor’s after all. The lion didn’t stand for just bravery. His grin grew as Scott blushed and turned back to his potion to wait for the first blush of pink to show through. Lucifer knew from experience that it would turn a violent magenta first, but he wanted to see how Scott handled the situation. “Well, first time for everything,” he said. Someone how voice was both mocking and encouraging at once.

[puppyeyedwolf]

Scott didn't know how he was supposed to take that last comment, so he just let it be. Staring down at the potion his eyes widened and looked quickly over at the book as he saw the potion not turn into a norma shade of pink, but a really vivid shade of magenta. Oh god, was this supposed to happen? So much for doing everything all right. The book said that it woudl turn pink. but he was pretty sure that the book didn't mean pink like this. He had been doing so well too.

Derek and Scott - Picking A Fight

[bigbadgryffindor]

Derek grinned, he liked humor, jokes were good. “My brother once stuck a sign on my back that read ‘clumsy child at play’ when I was ten.. I wore it all day until my mom noticed when I got home.” He snorted.

[puppyeyedwolf]

"Oh, I kind of know what that's like. I had a friend that was basically my brother but I've never had an actual brother. What's it like, I've heard it's kind of annoying?" He asked genuinely curious. He had always wanted a brother or sister, but he had never told this to his mom. He didn't know how she would've reacted, so he had never brought it up.

Now began one of the many breaks the potion maker had during this brew. There were a number of times when the concoction would simply need time for the heat to work, and some were shorter than others. This break wasn’t a bad one, and Lucifer allowed Scott his moment of floundering about trying to figure out what to do next. “Never gotten this far, have you?” the older boy drawled. In his voice it was easy to hear the humor he took in the situation.

[puppyeyedwolf]

Feeling heat come to the surface of his face at the comment, Scott shook his head silently. "Um, no." He said sadly. He was really dreadful at potions, and he really had never even gotten it to the purple stage correctly, so the fact that it was on its way to turning pink was a miracle in of itself. Maybe, he should have gotten a tutor a long time ago. Or maybe he just needed someone watching him like a hawk, and making him nervous everytime he did a potion.

Derek and Scott - Picking A Fight

[bigbadgryffindor]

  Derek’s shoulders jumped with an amused snort. “Tell me about it, everyone thought we were part of a cult or something..” He smirked. "Yeah, I’m pretty accident prone.. So it was worse when I was an uncoordinated toddler and for a few years she helped patch me up whenever I jumped off a flight of stairs, ran into the banister, or that time I tripped and fell into that glass cabinet.." Derek explained with a blush. "My parents were real graceful, but me? Nope.. Nothing.. I got some good reflexes when it counts, but somehow my legs just find ways to slam me into things.." He grinned.

[puppyeyedwolf]

Scott let out a small chuckle, even though he had basically thought that his whole childhood. It was just a small town mystery, The Hales. They never really came out and didn't really talk to that many people. That's what happened in a small town he guessed, if you kept to your self there was definitely going to be rumors about you at some point.

"Geez, do you need to have someone watch you as you walk around on two legs?" He asked jokingly. Although he knew that he couldn't really say anyting because he usually tripped over his own two feet.

Tutoring From Hell l Scott & Lucifer

[whitetrashwizard]

  Again with the ‘sir’s. Lucifer was going to get used to that. Such a shame he couldn’t get anyone else to say it, not seriously. There were several people in the school that would consider him their superior, but Lucifer had taken pains to make them all feel ‘special’ and ‘important’ so that they’d begin to trust him and rely on him. So far Scott had not warranted that kind of interest. “Better,” he praised as the younger boy altered his technique. Sure enough, it wasn’t much longer before the potion changed from a sort of periwinkle to a definite violet.

[puppyeyedwolf]

Scott stared down at his potion kind of confused. He had already done better than when he had done in clas. In class he hadn't gotten violet, more of an indigo color if he was being nice about it. It was a royal blue looking color, and he had no idea what he had messed up. Glancing back at the book making care not to make eye contact with his tutor, he read the next instruction and looked around the workspace looking for the syrup of hellebore. Yes, he had to put the potion on simmer until it turned pink but he just wanted to be ready. He was supposed to add it as soon as it turned pink.

[puppyeyedwolf]

Tutoring From Hell l Scott & Lucifer

[whitetrashwizard]

Scott was still working, getting the potion to the appropriate color. He’d only looked up once when Lucifer spoke, and now he seemed determined to prevent further eye contact. Lucifer found that somehow funny, and he smirked as he watched the younger boy work. “Go slower,” Lucifer directed him. His voice seemed sudden in the quiet, broken only by the soft noises of the brew. “If you pour it too fast the color will go right past purple and straight to black before you get the chance to react.”

[puppyeyedwolf]

He quickly stopped stirring when he heard Lucifer's voice break through the silence. "Yes sir." He said trying not to slap himself in the face, he'd just called the guy sir again. This guy wasn't a teacher and he was a Gryffindor, so there couldn't be anything that bad about him. So why was his voice making him jump to agree with him, and be respectful? Starting to slow the potion slower he kept watch for any warning signs of the potion about to turn purple. He really ddin't want to mess this up.

[puppyeyedwolf]

Tutoring From Hell l Scott & Lucifer

[whitetrashwizard]

Scott seemed unsure at the beginning, but he wasn’t doing anything wrong. He could have done better, but so far the potion should be working alright. However Lucifer could see frustration settling in, and frustration led to mistakes. Hopping off his chair, Lucifer pulled it over with a great scraping sound and plopped it directly on the other side of Scott’s cauldron. Again he took up his perch and met the younger boy’s eyes.

"Stay focused," he commanded, "and don’t hesitate. If you let it go too long it’ll be ruined, so you have to keep up on it." It seemed to him that Scott was impatient, which was the bane of a potion maker. Lucifer could imagine ways to instill patience into Scott. Fun ways - for him at least. The older boy smirked to himself and kept watching.

[puppyeyedwolf]

Scott kept stirring the potion until he heard the sound of Lucifer getting up. Sooner rather than later he found himself looking straight up at him, from across the table. Nodding he quickly looked back down at the cauldron and started to continue working on the potion.

He knew that Lucifer was supposed to see what he was doing wrong, but he was watching him like a hawk right now.Also, he was standing just across the small table. He didn't know why, but he found that he couldn't let himself look up. He got this feeling when he caught eye contact with him, and he didn't know what it was but it was strange to say the least. Picking up the pouch of powdered moonstone, he started to add in small amounts to the potion.

Derek and Scott - Picking A Fight

[bigbadgryffindor]

  "That’s so weird, three kids attending the same wizard school… From the same home town.." He huffed, crossing his arms. "You may have known my family… You’re older than my sister, but younger than me… Still, my family kept the town going…" Derek explained. "Big ol’ house in the woods, the Hales." He said with a wistful smile, before looking Scott over. "You said McCall.. Your mom wouldn’t happen to be a nurse would she?" He asked quietly with a small smirk. Melissa had been sweet, and Derek was quite accident prone when he was real young.. He’d been banging his head on things since he could crawl. But then she moved, sad really..

[puppyeyedwolf]

"Yeah, it really is." He said nodding in agreement. He didn't know why they hadn't met before, especially because they were in the same house. But oh well.

"That's your family? Dude, me and my friends used to make up stories about your house in the woods when we were little." He said. Yeah, they had been dumb little kids and they had all known that a family did in fact live there, but they had all said that it was a witch house or whatever they had thought up back then.

"Yeah she is. Her name's Melissa. Do you know her?" He asked the boy. He knew that a lot of people knew his mom from the hospital, but he didn't know if this guy knew her or not.

"I appreciate your honesty. Any reason you zoned out?" She asked curiously. She was fine besides a sore bottom. At least he didn't trip himself over as well otherwise it would be another story.

[puppyeyedwolf]

"Not really, just trying to find a specific book for my project." He said and reached his hand up to unconsciously rub the back of hs neck sheepishly. "But before I tripped, I figured out I was in the wrong section. Sooo yeah. Sorry."

Derek and Scott - Picking A Fight

[bigbadgryffindor]

  Derek frowned, before a small laugh bubbled from his lips. “I’m from Beacon Hills… I just moved to New York over the summer..” He explained, before nodding. “I think I know the kid, never talked to him.. But a name like that doesn’t escape me, it’s unique..”

[puppyeyedwolf]

Scott looked curiously over at the guy. Okay, make that same home town. "Yeah, you should hear his actual name if you want unique." He said letting out a chuckle. He had learned about that when he and Stiles were ten, and he still wasn't sure if he pronounced the thing right.

Roommate agreement // Scott and Eleven

[puppyeyedwolf]

marauderoftime:

"I’m surprised you haven’t asked, up until this point. It’s been five years. Though, I will thank you for your attentiveness to privacy. That will always be appreciated. Don’t be afraid to ask me questions, Scott. Though, to be fair….they had better be some good questions. I get impatient with the other sorts of questions." 

Eleven slipped on his leather shoes, and without bothering to lace them up at all, he tilted his head to the door. “How about I show you where I disappear to night after night? She’ll help us with the potion making, I’m sure. And…there’s a bunch of resources that we can use that you cannot find in the Hogwarts Library.” 

Knowing that he was being rather cryptic (and he loved being so), Eleven simply grinned and picked up his own potions book…shoved it into his gloriously blue messenger bag, and then pulled the strap over his shoulder.

"Alright then…shall we go and study then?"

Scott raised his eyebrow questioningly. Of course he always wondered where his roommate snuck off too, but he had never asked because he hadn't wanted to invade his space. He figured that if Eleven wanted him to know that he would tell him, and he hadn't so he figured that he didn't need to know.

Scott's head spun as he was hit by the rapid fire of words coming out of his roommate's mouth. Man, he had only talked to Eleven for a few times, and never for long so he had never been hit by this barrage of words before. He didn't know yet if he liked it or not, but for right now he was just going to call Eleven unique until he could figure that out for himself.

"Okay, that sounds great." He said walking back over towards his bed and throwing back on his pair of boots he had just taken off. Grabbing his books he had been using to study for Potions, he threw it all into his plain brown messenger bag and threw it over his neck.

"What do you mean? How did you get outside resources? Where are you taking me?" Scott asked as he watched Eleven just pick up his bag and head for the door as if he hadn't just said something.

"I guess so." Scott said following Eleven out of the door of the dormitory, and out of the common room. Following Eleven down a few staircases. Scott's curiousity kept building as they descended more and more.

Tutoring From Hell l Scott & Lucifer

[whitetrashwizard]

Lucifer liked the sound of ‘sir’. His lips quirked at the title, but he didn’t say anything. He wanted Scott to be on his best brewing form after all, and being scared witless wouldn’t help. The sooner they got this over and done with the sooner Lucifer would be out of his mandatory tutoring, and back to bigger and better things.

"Like I said, start it just how you would in class," he remained fixed in his seat as Scott got the ingredients together. Lucifer would bet anything that the kid was making preparation errors. Potions could be incredibly fickle when it came to how something was crushed or cut or melted.

[puppyeyedwolf]

Scott nodded and pulled out the powdered moonstone and poured in a small amount to the potion. He had messed this potion up so many times, and with the pair of hawk eyes watching him weren't helping him either. Stirring the potion he glanced back at the potion and read that he was supposed to turn the potion until it turned green.

A few minutes later he saw the potion turn a jade green color, and smiling he looked back a the book and saw that he was supposed to stir until it turned blue now. Potions were way too dificult, he had already stirred for a good three minutes, and now it wanted more.

[bigbadgryffindor]

[puppyeyedwolf]

"Yeah, I am. I’m from America actually, just moved to England when I was 10. My dad had told my mom about Hogwarts bef… and she decided that it would be good. Also my best friend was coming here too, soooo…. yeah." Scott said rubbing the back of his neck when he realised how...

[puppyeyedwolf]

"Really? I'm from California too. Beacon Hills." He said. It was hard enough finding another American art this school but one from California was almost impossible. "His name is Stiles."

[puppyeyedwolf]

[aravenclawwithaknifecollection-]

Jo laughed quietly, “You do fall down a bit. I’ve been studying. I went to New York City over break. It was pretty awesome.” She looked up at him, “You’ve been well though?”

[puppyeyedwolf]

"New York City? You’re so lucky. I’ve always wanted to go. " He...

[puppyeyedwolf]

"Yeah okayyyyy, we can go to California. I'll warn you now there isn't much to do there, but hey we can always think of something." He said finishing with a small laugh on her comment about the sand.

[bigbadgryffindor]

  "Trust me, I understand that.." Derek sighed, dragging his hands through his hair in a nervous gesture he’d picked up from his father. "So you’re from the muggle world then?" He asked, leaning against the wall again.

[puppyeyedwolf]

"Yeah, I am. I'm from America actually, just moved to England when I was 10. My dad had told my mom about Hogwarts bef... and she decided that it would be good. Also my best friend was coming here too, soooo.... yeah." Scott said rubbing the back of his neck when he realised how much he was talking. "So are you from the muggle world?"
