Ruthven Potter's classes and grades

• continues it as a hobby;
• is very good;
• doesn't want to do Quidditch

• it confuses him;
• dropped it as soon as he got the chance;
• failed his OWL

• is naturally gifted;
• usually gets a new spell on the first or second try;
• doesn't do homework, his essays suck, he can't explain the theory

• he sees it as a continuation of Charms;
• innate fear of the Dark Arts makes him a quick learner of the Defence;
• forgets to do his homework, his essays are bad

• tries to make friends with individual plants, even the more dangerous species;
• feels like he's going to a picnic when he's going to this class;
• plants did try to bite him, but he's good at evading, and often bonks them on their fruits when they try to hurt him;
• he has nicknames for all of them

• bored out of his mind;
• the professor puts him to sleep;
• he tried to study for his OWL but still failed anyway
• couldn't wait to be rid of it

• completely average;
• doesn't know a thing beyond the curriculum;
• had several cauldrons blow up in his face and drank poison on several occasions;
• likes potions that have an effect on the environment, like Thunderbrew;
• doesn't do his homework and his theory and essays are awful, but his brews are ok - he has good instinct when to stop himself from putting something absolutely lethal into his brews

• also sees it as a continuation of Charms;
• is very creative at it;
• his grade suffers because he again doesn't do homework and has poor writing skills, and can't explain his theory

Skipped it as he thought it would be too hard.

• loves everything about this subject;
• willingly does his homework

• when he's feeling lonely, he often goes to the pens because he knows that he can exchange some care for love and pets;
• has his own nicknames for all the beasts;
• some beasts like him better than others, but he believes he does what he can;
• his favourites are Mokes, Nifflers, Diricawls and Hippogriffs

• likes the relaxed atmosphere;
• his predictions do more often than not come true, and he is always surprised;
• he can never tell you when something will happen, he can just predict that it will, eventually;
• he doesn't consider himself all that good, but enjoys the practice either way - he usually predicts great fortune, rather than great calamity;
• the professor probably sees more potential in him than he does in himself

Skipped it because it looked difficult.

• loves this subject;
• willingly does his homework;
• believes he is average at singing because he doesn't have a distinct solo voice, but he can hit all the notes for his category and can perform accurately;
• can play the piano and the viola, though he never practices (he did for the OWL, and is for his NEWTs)

• is a Muggle culture nerd;
• always reading something on the subject;
• willingly does his homework

• barely passed his OWL and considered quitting the subject after 5th year, but perseveres because the professor is nice, and he still has an interest in it, even though it's hard for him to master;
• he loves protective and prophecy runes the most;
• he studies the best by coming up with stories related to a rune's meaning and shape, but this approach takes a lot of time he is not always ready to spare;
• he has less trouble explaining the theory than other subjects he is more used to feeling the vibes of (like Charms or Transfiguration)

• took it for a year and had fun with it, but quit because he was shamed for taking it;
• he often thinks back on the subject, but feels it's too late to pick it back up in his final year

• he's a natural visualizer so he finds it pretty easy;
• he co-apparated a few times throughout his life so he is familiar with the sensations of this mode of travel
