And at the end of one of his speels filled with tantrums and fits, he'd have me take a test he made up. If I missed evern one question, his wand would turn into a cat o' nine tails. Thy'd cut my skin with each lash!And my father got tired of spreading murtlap essemce on my legs, and he started teaching me history of magic. I'm thankful that he only used one horse whip. it's got a nice soft whip and a stifff handle so when the smack came, only the very tip of the whip smacks and it feels like a bee sting. But I've only showed 3 other people, the wandmaker, and simon on the train and another student who was bound for the Gryffies. Simon and the Gryffendor saw my entire upper body. But I'd rather be called a freak by the students then get my father in trouble for trying to protect me. No matter if it's evil or good magic. You understand?"

Evan knew this was the answer he was more likely to get. Of course, he could understand why Benjamin wanted to keep it as a secret, it was still his father after all. What would he do? He had no idea... for these kind of things to guess what you'd do, you just have to live it. And Evan was quite grateful he'd never have to live such a thing, because his father knew the limits of magic.

The prefect sighed, unsure what to say. Apparently the kid wasn't infected with some sort of disease... but dark magic was dark for that, wasn't it? It poisoned your body for a while before it hit it's last blow... He ran a hand through his hair as Benjamin went on. He could see why he didn't want his father to be taken away now, and he gave a short nod. "Look," he said, trying to calm him down; though it wasn't clear if he was more trying to calm down himself. "If you don't want that, fine, I won't spread your secret to the world." He bit his lips, unsure how to go on. Because he had to convince the boy that it was safe to tell the professors, that they were understanding enough. "But this is magic. And you normally can't play with it, or experiment it on others." He opened his mouth to give the example of Dark Lord, but then decided against it. It would only frighten Benjamin more, the prefect concluded. Taking a deep breath again, he said "Please, Benjamin. Ask it at least hypothetically, will you?" If Evan Cartwright was nearly begging someone and using 'please', it meant he was worried. Extremely.

Phew, he actually let out a breath. Not many people knew it. Yet. "Well, I suggest you keep that number down," he said wisely. He didn't want any stupid fear wave in the house, not in his first experience of prefecting. Then, as he looked at the staff table again, his eyes found Lafay get up and make her way up to their table. Yes! Hopefully Benjamin would agree to tell her.

Openly pointing the woman with his finger, he said "That's Professor Hecate Lafay, our head of house." He was well aware that he'd done this introduction before, but no harm in reminding him again that she was primarily responsible for them.

"You can tell her anything you want. She's a good listener and a secret-keeper, even if she isn't the type you can get too close with."

Effective enough? Would he talk to her now? He hoped so. Because then, he didn't know what to do.

Fallon didn't like the fact that Evan knew what was going on with her. It just showed how easily he could read her, which meant she might not be able to keep secrets from him. She nodded her head. "After the feast we can talk." And he would have to put up with Iris because she was going to tell them both to make life easier on herself.

Evan smiled at Fallon in agreement. "Of course I'll tell you," he said with a nod. He would be with Mina more, but still, they would get to visit Paris, no? Hopefully. Actually, he was pretty excited with the idea of France too, having heard its beauty a million times and such. Yeah, definitely worth a visit, and being with Mina would be the icing on the cake.

The prefect gave a short nod at that. After the feast, he would get to know what he'd totally guessed by chance... hehe. He still find it kind of amusing though, that Fallon had a crush on Finn, and that she'd tried to keep it away from him.
