The rest of the class passed mostly without event, at least aside from Slughorn continuing to single out Hitoshi and his sister periodically. (Hitoshi assured his sister that the professor would leave off a bit after a day or two, at least from her. The two of them were hardly so fascinating as Slughorn seemed to imagine.)
Eventually the end of class came, which meant that Hitoshi would be moving on to Charms class with Ravenclaw house. He didn't mind terribly -- as much as he liked potions, he found Slughorn a bit creepy -- though he couldn't help but wish he was going to another class with the Hufflepuffs. He didn't know a single person in Ravenclaw house. Still, Hitoshi would much rather be going to Charms than to Transfigurations with his aunt, and he was fairly certain that was where Alex and Hitomi were headed.
Hitoshi packed up his cauldron and books at the sounds of the bell, then turned back to Alex. He couldn't place why, but he was almost looking forward to having classes with Alex. He couldn't help wishing that the boy had been in Slytherin with him. "I suppose I'll see you in Defense Against the Dark Arts."
