"Oh, for the love of— Can’t you two take your incessant prattling elsewhere? Some of us are trying to study for a very important N.E.W.T.s exam and could do with a bit of peace and quiet. I don’t want to hear about ‘faceclaims’ when I have about a hundred different ingredients for potions running through my head. I need to concentrate.”
"Kindly take your conversation and piss off.”
Jounouchi glanced over at Severus… who’d really been doing nothing but milling about in attempted apathy and an all around general pathetic manner that entire morning.
"Hey greasebag! Ya wanna know something? I don’t care. You gotta problem wit’ me and Merlin’s conversation, ya can take your study texts and shit outside. Quit yer bitchin’. We got as much a right to be here as you do. Probably more so! And besides…” He trailed off smugly. “I know for a fact that you’re gonna ace it no matter what kinda bull you’re tryin’ to spout cos ya didn’t fall for that prank I pulled on ya the other day! I switched that weird red-orange liquid of yours wit’ Livewire Mountain Dew. Put the old label on the new vial and everything. I mean, that shit was identical, ’specially cos the dew went flat. And ya didn’t even use it! Man, that pissed me off.”
Severus’ teeth gritted as he angrily shut the text he’d been reading out of. He stood from his seat and leveled Jounouchi with a look. “Oh, it pissed you off, did it?” He started in a low hissing tone as he attempted to reign in his anger. It wasn’t working out too well, unfortunately. He wondered how a hex designed to rearrange a person’s features would work on someone who was animated. After a moment though, rather than pointing his wand, he pointed an accusatory finger. “I knew it was you all along! What did you do with the dragon’s blood? That is a pricey ingredient, thicker than that concoction you consider drinkable and far more potent in the hands of an idiot than it might be even to me.”
He straightened out a bit, his hand clenching even as he saw Merlin move out of the corner of his eye. Now he withdrew his wand and pointed it at the blond idiot. “You’re going to tell me where it is or I might very well rearrange your face.”
