"I had Herbology and History of Magic, which is quite possibly the most dull subject ever. Even the teacher thought it was [i]dead[/i] boring." Kyle grinned at his own joke. "I liked Herbology, Though I got a splinter and had to have it removed." He held up his left hand and wiggled the fingers that showed no sign of the injury. 

Professor Slughorn made it to the front of the class and turned around, "Today we'll work on the beginning concepts of potions, and then next class we'll work on the potion Cure for Boils." Professor Slughorn sounded rather bored with the subject. Kyle couldn't exactly blame him, he must have taught this a lot. Kyle had found out that Slughorn was an ex-professor returned for the year. Rumor was Dumbledor couldn't get anyone for DADA except Snape, so he had had to replace the Potions master's place. Kyle had also found out that Slughorn was a Slytherin. It was a good thing for the blond boy in front of the friends that he hadn't heard the comment about Troll brains. "Take out your books now please and carefully study the potion in question." Slughorn's distracted teaching made it easier for the student's to continue their conversations in low mummers. "If you have any questions, feel free to ask any questions you may have about the potion."

Kyle dropped his voice lower, thankful their seat was further from the front of the class. "What about you? Other than Transfiguration obviously."
