With the next task so soon, Gaston knew he had to act quick if he wanted what he had schemed on. This was his plan B to the rejection he received the other day and hopefully this would work unlike his plan A.
Acting as casual as he could, just not too casual, Gaston placed some of his
chocolates, cauldron cakes and pumpkin pasties on one of the tables in the common room. This was the best way to be non-suspicious.
Soon he would have the attention he had wanted, whomever took a chocolate, cake or pasties directly from the table would become a 'number #1' Gaston fan. As for the others receiving from a friend...well..that was their loss.
But for one thing
nobody would be able to tell these chocolates were indeed spiked. Gaston had been sure to hide every bit of evidence that he could.
