Having his back to people always made Daxton feel anxious and wholly uncomfortable; it put him on edge, as he expected that someone might grab him, or come up and yell in his ear, or generally get up to no good. So once he was in the office, Daxton turned slightly so he could still see Baxter, but kept his distance. Finding no need for small talk or pleasantries (when was there any need for any of it?) he flipped through his notebook, found the page he needed and held it, and the stolen earmuffs, up so the teacher could read it. 'These block out too much noise and I want them to be a different colour.'
And that, essentially, was why he was here. To get the Charms teacher to do the magic for him.
Not making much of a big deal at the kid's actions, Astrid went ahead and set her plate behind her desk and sat down. Oh. He had something to show her? Her vision zeroed in on the notebook.
Hmm. "You would like them to be a different color," she said in a soft tone and a nod. "They would look nice in soft blue." M'hm. So what was his question? He had simply stated something, but not asked. Text Cut: Kyroh Quote:

This one was strange too.
Not in the office sense. It was a pretty nice office he supposed. Were there bad offices? Kyroh wasn't really sure. But it was weird because this had been his mum's office at one point too, right? Weird.
A wave of nervousness suddenly washed over him, the pit of his stomach sinking slightly. Hesitating for a bit he pointed to one of the chairs. "Do you think...I mean...may I sit down?" "Of course, of course. Sit down." Returning back to her post, but not giving him her back, she tipped the container of Fabio's food into his fish tank. "What questions do you have for me, Kyroh?"
Hopefully it was not about charming the little ladies. Though she could help. Definitely could, but she preferred the academic subject of Charms. Text Cut: Zander Quote:

Except, he couldn't really say that to her. She was a Professor and he was supposed to set an example this year more than ever. So he nodded and followed her to her office.
Even he had to admit, it was a nice office. He quite liked the flowers, they were a good touch. "You're office is nice," Especially the decorative flowers. But, he was trying to be sulky here. So that's the extent of compliments he'd give at the moment because he still couldn't get his mind off that stupid spell. Why the heck could he get it??? It was just one spell. It wasn't even THAT hard. He was a SEVENTH YEAR. He was HEAD BOY. He SHOULD'VE gotten it on even the first try. "So... What do you need my help with, Professor?" He knew that she didn't actually want his help. She wanted to yell at him for not getting the spell at all during class. Which was... understandable. He was a seventh year. He was Head Boy. He was normally decent at Charms. Professor Quigley expected him to get an O this time around. Yet, here he was. Couldn't get the stupid nonverbal right. And now he was going to get in trouble for it even though he was probably already beating himself up about it even more than Professor Baxter would.
My goodness.
Astrid could SENSE the energy radiating off of the Head Boy. She was going to need a positive cleanse at this rate. Maybe he should too. "Thank you." She had worked hard on setting up a comfortable environment that would hopefully help students feel welcomed in her office. Setting the bins she had shrunk down by her desk, Astrid pushed her hair back, then gestured at the chairs. "Have a seat." It might take a while. Depending. "I actually didn't need your help," she smiled and sat down in her chair. He knew that, yeah? She didn't want to call him out and embarrass him further. Not that she had intended to in the first place. It would be a terrible thing to do. "I wanted to make sure if you were all right?" Was he? Astrid was good at sensing energies, and she had sensed his since the beginning of the class. Text Cut: Dante Quote:

Okay, try and summon the lily. Dante closed his eyes and concentrated on a picture of that lily coming at him. "Accio"
Dante said with the wand movement. He could not see if it worked because he had his eyes shut.
But he did feel something hit him in the face.
Astrid's gaze flickered between the young wizard and the lily and back again and--!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A lily to the face!
Astrid fist bumped the air. "You did it! You may need a bit more precision in catching it, and keeping your eyes open. Things to the face can be dangerous." Nod nod nod. "But for a first time you did great." He did. Thank Merlin she had chosen a lily as his target. Had it been the actual vase...well, the Healer wouldn't have been impressed with her.
