Did the Professor know? When Blaise heard the word field trip, he assumed that at the very least they'd be going out onto the grounds. This wasn't the field; this was a broom closet. Nothing exciting ever happened in those unless the brooms were magicked but he'd already been fed the spiel about no flying at Hogwarts so he wouldn't hold his breath.

The boy was however curious enough to take a peek inside while the Professor spoke. Just as he thought. Just a broom closet--only this one was much bigger and would actually fit everyone for what was starting to sound more like a huge game of hide and seek. He could get behind that he supposed so he opened up his bag to have his quill and notepad float--obvious giveaways they would be--then left his bag outside the door to give himself less things he had to hide. Sure there would be ways to hide himself in here, even if the spell didn't work. As for finding invisible people? He might just run around until he knocked into someo--

Ohai Daxton.

Blaise was all set to walk by the boy, his mind being trained to look for the invisible but at the last second he noticed him and took a step back. "This might work if the lights were off." He offered in a low voice to the boy who was obviously content to stand there all visible like. "You should help me. If we cut the lights we won't even need the spell, just hide in the shadows." And scurry off whenever anyone came too close with their wand light. They were small enough for it to work. Mhm. "What'd ya say?"
'What'd ya say?'

Daxton stood right where he was, slow-blinking at Blaise Bellaire. The last question posed to him had the Ravenclaw utterly nonplussed, given his literal interpretation of... well, of everything. What did Daxton say? He did not say anything; that was the one thing about him everyone seemed to notice without fail.

More blinking happened, and Daxton decided to just... ignore that particular question, and focused on the earlier statements.

Initially, he had felt mildly irritated that someone had gone and drawn attention to him. If his own way of invisibility was hiding in plain sight, then someone pointing him out was technically their 'revealing' him. In a bizarre way (that made perfect sense to Daxton) it felt like being outsmarted, and he was quite sure he did not like it.

And yet the idea Blaise Bellaire had of 'cutting the lights'. Daxton knew what it meant and he had to admit it made him curious to think how everyone might react, and it certainly would serve to make them all invisible, in a very literal sense. After a moments consideration, he nodded his head. Of course, how they might do so was another matter entirely; Daxton could cast no spells to that effect, and there were no light switches at Hogwarts. Perhaps Blaise Bellaire had some sort of plan, or perhaps he was suggesting they go around extinguishing the torches on the walls.
