When Professor Slughorn paired Padma and Theodore for their lesson in the Draught of Many Tongues, Padma felt some relief at having not only a competent partner for a difficult brew, but also in some of the pressure being deflated in speaking with the Slytherin once more. With all of their recent troubles, it had been shamefully easy to forget the smaller, more complicated ones that had preceded them, and she felt she owed some kindness to Theodore in having so long seemed to ignore him.
Padma offered a smile, opening her text on the desk before the cauldron.
