"You're doing it wrong,", Scorpius whispered to Albus, during class. Second year, so far, was proving itself to be a breeze. "Your blue is too faded because you're saying it wrong."
Albus' eyebrows rose, but he nods, green eyes looking at Scorpius' actually working transfiguration, and grinned.
"Alright, then correct me until it looks right,", Albus said, and his grin infects Scorpius too.
Classes with wandwork were easy to Scorpius, because all he needed to do was match his red with the teacher's colours, giving him a spell that works as demonstrated. Rose and Albus found it really cool, but Rose huffed in their shared classes when he explains why she can't make the spell work. Albus just rolled his eyes at that, used to her mood.
"It's from her mother,", he said once, like it made sense. Scorpius just shrugged, and let Rose have the upper hand when it comes to classes with little to no spellwork, like Potions and Astronomy, where Scorpius can't use his little trick to aid him. A potion or a star have no use of spells or voice, and as such, Scorpius utterly failed at them. It was just his luck Rose was good at these subjects, and didn't mind teaching him.
"No, no, you're using your star chart wrong,", Rose whispered to him, while Albus, by her side, stifled an yawn. "You keep pinning Jupiter in the place of Saturn, and that's messing up your whole chart."
Scorpius grinned and thanked her, and made sure to put the planets in its proper positions.
Albus, meanwhile, was good with DADA, and helped Scorpius solve his issues with the spells - focus and intent where never his strong suit, not when the colours on people's shouted spells looked so different. He couldn't help but admire his friend's colours, Albus' blue strong and alive, Rose's golden vicious and clear as day as the cast spell after spell, practicing until it was perfect. It's so terrifyingly pretty Scorpius is frozen in place, and remembered seconds after that he, too, was supposed to cast spells.
His red looks bright and vivacious, and it's so beautiful to see it joining colours with his friends'. Scorpius almost gets frozen again, just watching, but he figures that they need him to make the different shades, too, and that's enough for now.
