"Next week, we'll head to the underground alchemy laboratory," Lilia said.
" I'll be taking you through the process of safely extracting shadowbane from ochrabloom. That's all for today."
The students rushed out to enjoy the small break before their next class.
" Hey Lucian, you want to grab a bite before the next class?"
Lucian beamed in excitement.
" Sure thing."
The two headed to the cafeteria.
"You know, I'm glad you came to the academy when you did," Lucian began.
" I honestly don't know if anyone could have stood up for me the way you did against Draco and his goons the way you did."
Morgan thumped him on the back.
" It's alright, man, that's what friends are for."
Lucian abruptly stopped walking.
" Maybe if you'd come at the beginning, we'd not be friends, maybe you wouldn't know me, and I'd still be locked up in my room."
Morgan sighed and turned around, grabbing Lucian by the shoulders.
