Well, it technically is 'make-up' class when you're staring in front of Professor Crewel's face and applying makeup on him.
After Vil's Overblot, the SDC, and Grim turning into a dire beast, Grim had been incapacitated for weeks. Without his magic, you were failing behind in classes, especially Potionology. You could only do so little with sciences in this Twisted Wonderland full of magic.
Fortunately, Professor Crewel sympathized your predicament. He was willing to give makeup lessons and private demonstrations of his magic until Grim wakes up. But his lessons had been less about magic and more about running errands for him.
"Good puppy," Crewel praised as he examined himself in the mirror for your handiwork. You were wondering when would he start his lessons when he turned to you sharply.
"You know what, puppy? You'll be my student assistant. You'll come with me to my mansion and help me in my routine. No ifs or buts if you want to pass my class."
