"Very good," said Samuel. "Five points to Slytherin." Sure, review was review, but it was better to make sure he knew about a few things before they even started to attempt to take care of actual creatures. "Now, other than the boy who answered, is there anyone who can tell me what you are supposed to do if you happened to be attacked by one doxy, or several?"
He looked over his students once again to look for any hands raised.

Erich came, as usual, late. All he caught was the praise the teached gave to a Slytherin and rolled his eyes. Unlike the Black family, Erich didn't like the house and loved his own, Gryffindor. If it was tangible he'd hug it. And then the teacher asked a question. Erich, still walking into class, raised his hand and said, "Spray them with Doxy-repelent." He said in a slightly sarcastic Slytherin way.

Nate had walked into class right behind Erich. "Sorry I'm late professor, I had to help another student to the hospital wing." He walked to the professor and handed the man a note of excuse from the school nurse before going to stand with the other students. He looked around and noticed that Rayne hadn't taken COMC this term. Probably for the best, at least this way he could be himself and not worry about acting a fool.

Lance looked up from the back of the other students to see Nate and Erich show up late. He'd been standing there already with Eve and Genevieve. It was one of the classes he shared with them but not his brother. He was happily standing between them leaning back on a tree with an arm around both of their waists. It was what he normally did when they were both with him like this. He loved them both, they were both is best friends and even though he cared about Genevieve in a special way he didn't change how he acted around Eve either. It's just how it was, him protecting his two girls.

Eve was quiet enough, and shy enough that Lance's appearance of big brother did much to comfort her she was holding on to his arm and paying attention, she knew the answer but she didn't want to raise her hand, she wasn't a glory seeker still their house could use the points she tapped Lance's shoulder, "Doxycide, it's a spray that knocks them out so they can be removed. It's also a good idea to have the antidote on hand in case you're attacked." she whispered so he could answer.

Lance gently grabbed Eve's hand by the wrist and raised her arm involuntarily so that the professor couldn't miss it.
((LOL sorry it's short))

Eve fought his hold, "No Lance, what are you..." she bit her lip not wanting to answer the question aloud, how come he couldn't answer it? Life wasn't fair she thought mildly though this wasn't the reason for it's unfairness, perhaps sometimes Lance was just unfair.

Samuel looked to the first boy who spoke. "Yes, you are correct, but I'm looking for something a bit more specific. Can anyone do that?" He looked around and started to lose hope in these students already. However, he noticed that a boy was holding a girl's hand up.
He pointed to the girl. "Yes?"

Seth felt like an idiot. He didn't know any of these answers. He laughed as he watched Lance and Eve answering the question, but other than that he was silent.
Who cares about some dumb doxy anyway?

Eve swallowed but her voice still came out sharp and clear with a beautiful tone to it. She was quiet because she chose to be not because she couldn't be loud, no her vocals were very strong for someone her size, " Doxycide, Professor, it will knock out a Doxy giving you time to remove them from where they are, it is always a good idea to have the antidote on hand as well."

Lance winked playfully as she answered, she really was smart even she was normally quiet about it. And he'd promised Josh that he would try to help Eve gain some confidence about herself anyways. Every little bit counted was his theory. He was proud of her for speaking up even if she was still being all quiet about it.

After she answered she glared at Lance, she didn't like attention on her she didn't like being in the spotlight she'd have rather not answered at all. But she couldn't stay mad at him she could only huff for a small while and even that seemed childish.

Lance leaned over and whispered to her "You did great!" before looking back to the instructor for his response, even as she glared at him for a moment. He chuckled and hugged her with his arm around her again, though he had never let his other arm drop from Genevieve either. He hugged her closer too just because he could.

"Excellent," replied Samuel. "That is the exact answer I was looking for. Five points to Hufflepuff." He looked at the students' faces and one Slytherin boy's caught his eye. "I know what you're thinking," he said turning to the boy. "Why doxies? Well, I can tell you that you are going to have experience with Doxies in this class and I suggest you pay attention because you might be the first one to demonstrate something, you never know."
He looked back at the group. "If you are in a situation that you do not have Doxycide, then what is the best spell to use in order to get away?"

This time Eve crossed her arms over her chest and kept her mouth shut raising an eyebrow at Lance. There was a smile lurking behind her eyes but she wouldn't give an inch. Oh she wasn't really mad, she couldn't possibly stay mad at him and ended up leaning her head on his shoulder or well his upper arm as she couldn't quite reach his shoulder.

Lance chuckled at Eve's stubborness.. she was so cute he couldn't help but laugh. Then he smiled as she leaned her head against him. It was odd how things were different when Josh wasn't around. Not that he begrudged his brother's time with her of course but he missed being as close to Eve as he used to be.
He could remember a time when they were all younger children and she would spend the night and snuggle up between the twins to sleep. None of them had ever thought it was unusual or odd or even awkward. It just was the way it was. She was like their little sister in so many ways. He even remembered when they first met her, and Lance had just walked up to her and given her some flowers. Josh of course had outdone him with some roses he'd found to pick instead of Lance's daisies. But they'd been close friends ever since. It seemed so long ago when they were just barely out of that toddler stage and all of them so innocent.
But things had changed when the boys had left to Hogwarts.. and now again things felt as if they were changing further. He had not been immune to the changes in Eve any more than Josh but he knew that Eve and Josh shared something that he'd never quite been part of. And now those changes were meaning he got less time to spend with one of his best friends, Eve. He was happy he had one class where he could spend time with both of the girls all to himself. They made an odd threesome of friends, usually joking and just having fun. And he enjoyed the time to have a little of Eve's attention. But he also enjoyed having Genevieve's attention to himself too. It was only one class but he took advantage of the time as best he could.
He kept a protective hand around both of them and kissed the top of both of their heads fondly. He still missed having his brother around but he enjoyed the moment with the girls he cared about. And this time he didn't raise Eve's stubborn little hand.

Eve nodded at him, " Darn straight." she said impudently as if she were some macho man capable of taking Lance down should he have dared to raise her hand for her again. Still she leaned into his kiss and sighed afterwards, she missed him. She really did. She had been seeing a lot of Josh altely and no, she would never complain about that. Her relationship with Josh it would seem was growing by leaps and bounds and reaching unfamiliar territory, but she felt less secure in her relationship with Lance...it had been so long since they talked...really talked.

Lance wanted to tell her something but he refrained, they were in class after all and the teacher was waiting for an answer. He was hoping someone else would answer though. Genevieve seemed to be distracted again so he leaned over and whispered to Eve, "hey can we get together later? just us? I want to talk to you." To be honest he really wasn't even sure what he wanted to talk to her about but he had felt them drifting lately and it hurt him. He needed reasurances that he wouldn't loose her completely as Josh eased her into a relationship. He really didn't feal any jealousy towards his brother, but he didn't want to loose his close friendship with Eve in the process.
He wondered how often he had been there for her when she hadn't realized it. Held her when Josh hadn't been there to do it. He'd always stepped back for his brother, he had pretended to be asleep more times than he could remember when Eve would sneak into their shared room to be comforted by Josh.
Lance was the romantic at heart and he was happy for Josh, but he did miss Eve. And there was Genevieve, his beautiful and gentle Genevieve. Lance had his own emotional issues but he tried to never let on with anyone but his brother who could tell without him having to say a word.

She let out a relieved sigh. How had Lance known what she was thinking? Or perhaps he didn't, but just as he asked to see her later she felt like asking him the same thing. Things were changing and she didn't want to lose him either, in fact she still needed him by her side. She didn't discount or forget the times that he had held her either, and she would never forget the times that she had held him.
She loved Lance, more than any other boy besides Josh, and she had spent her childhood with him. She felt comfortable with Lance and often sought to ease whatever burdens he carried. She tried to do the same for Josh but somehow since she felt she went to Josh for so much burden lifting of her own that she wasn't necessarily equipped to relieve him of his burdens, still she tried, but with Lance, when they were younger and when they had problems, he went to her, and it was a good feeling to be "needed" like that, or at least to be wanted to listen to someone else's problems.
"Yeah." she said nodding, " Yeah I want that too." she had to assure herself that she wasn't losing him, that he'd still love her no matter what happened between him and Viv...or what happened between Josh and herself.

Alyx watched from her position her arms folded over her chest her lips consciously drawn to a straight line as she thought. She knew the answer to the professor's question but she wasn't usually someone who raised her hand. Not that she was shy, she just was observant more than responsive unless of course Sin was around, then those observant genes went straight out the window, she acted differently around him she didn't know why but she felt it was safe to do so.
