Of course, the main reason for this was that Daxton did not talk, which was - by now - widely known. Spells required speech, for the incantations, and so when Daxton failed to say those incantations, he failed to cast the spells. No magic for Daxton Prince.

That was what he wanted everyone to go on believing. At least, until he was ready.

After standing almost unnaturally still and silent outside the door to the spare office for an inordinate amount of time, listening for the slightest movement, he pushed the door of the office open a small way and slipped inside. Inside, it was as empty as it always of; empty of both furniture, empty of people.

Seating himself cross-legged on the faded rug, Daxton set his school bag on the floor in front of him and looked at it for a moment, watching parts of the bag twitch and squirm. Before he opened it up, he pulled his wand out from the sleeve of his old, well-worn, too-small school shirt, and pointed it at his bag.

One wordless swish-and-flick later, and his schoolbag hovered into the air in front of him. Levitation Charm. Non-verbal. Kid stuff.

The real challenge would be whether or not Daxton could effectively stun the stolen creatures currently concealed inside the bag. He had easily mastered Expelliarmus by practicing on unsuspecting students in the corridors, but had wanted to be alone for his attempts at this slightly more difficult spell. Stealing the creatures had been easily, and Daxton had brewed and taken an allergy potion so that the fur was unlikely to bother him, and now he was ready to start practicing. Rapidly moving targets; it was likely to be a real challenge.

But for a moment longer, he simply sat, staring at the levitating bag, flicking his wand at one point, so that it began slowly rotating in front of him.

Time to dance. Dalia had neglected her practice over Christmas, first due to grumpy homesickness, and then because of... other things distracting her brain. So, ballet shoes loosely hung round her shoulders, she went on a quest to find somewhere to practice. Empty classrooms had done the trick so far, so she wandered along a corridor, trying doors.

Until she found one that opened and walked inside. Ah. "Oh, sorry." Dal looked from the bag to Daxton. "Whatcha doing?" She was curious by nature, which overruled any manners that might have told her not to intrude.
