Daichi wanted to be alone. For the first time in a long time he wanted to be alone. He was getting tired that no one took him seriously despite that he was a Prefect. He opened the door leading to the courtyard and went outside. Fall had come and the Slytherin shivered a little as a breeze of wind swept over the yard.

After finding a place in the corner, hidden behind a pilar and in the shadow the Slytherin opened his bag and took out his stone gargoyle. Might as well teach that thing a few new tricks... he thought. Placing the gargoyle on the ground, Daichi flicked his wrist as his wand fell in his in hand.

"Piertotum Locomotor" he said and focused on the spell, willing it to hit the gargoyle and make it come *to life* Luckily, his wish was granted and the gargoyle seemed to look up at him. At least one thing was looking up to him...

Siiiiigh

"Hey Garly, ready to do some tricks?" he smiled and momentarily forgot about his troubles. "Nod yes" This was just a warming up, he knew that Garly could do more things than that. The stone gargoyle nodded slowly. "Good, now jump" At first the stone creature did nothing. Then it crouched down and stood up, crouched down and stood up. Just like it had done in class. "No, i said jump" the Slytherin commanded and suddenly the stone did, he jumped, not high of course but it did jump.

Slow progress but at least it was working. "Good job Garly! we'll stop for now and continue later.. finite" He placed the gargoyle in his school bag and went back inside because it was starting to get a bit chilly outside.
