SPOILER!!: Professor <3

He couldn't imagine Daniel killing a plant - he was too kind to harm any living being! - but it all made sense when he mentioned the owl. "That's alright, I understand," he replied, his face falling slightly. "I'd offer to help take care of your owl, but I don't think Phantom would like that."

As if on cue, the little black and white Persian cat looked up from her spot on the cat condo and meowed, but Gaston was too distracted to pay her any mind. This line of conversation was a harsh reminder of his own neglectfulness. The image of his baby Desiree crying for a father who was never home to comfort her suddenly popped into his mind, and his heart shattered. Daniel's voice jerked him violently out of his thoughts, and he was able to give him a small, forced smile as he accepted the offer for chocolate.

Gaston gave Daniel - and Night, too, if she wanted some - some time to enjoy the chocolate before changing the subject. "Whenever you two are ready, we can get started," he said. "I'm going to teach you two spells today; we'll start with the one I used to animate the mice in class today. This one isn't permanent but gives greater control of the animated object's behavior. This spell would be useful for the dogs Night mentioned."

"You can use these for practice to start out..." He picked up a box of toy mice left over from the lesson and set it in front of him. No sooner than he had, Phantom hopped onto the desk and stuck a paw inside the box. "Phantom... those aren't for you." The cat gave a pitiful meow, and Gaston's expression softened. "oh, alright - but just one!" He tossed a toy mouse toward the wall, and Phantom shot after it.

Then he turned his attention back to the students. "To cast, concentrate hard on what you want the target to do, point your wand, and say the incantation piertotem locomotor." He drew his wand and demonstrated on one of the mice; it poked its head out of the box and twitched its nose.

How nice was professor Marchand to want to help take care of his owl? His eyes soon scanned the surroundings when he'd mentioned someone called Phantom, and right on cue, a gorgeous cat graced them with her presence. "So beautiful!" he said, his hands automatically reaching out to welcome the cat in his embrace. It's been so long since he'd snuggled his own kittens back home, and he missed having a ball of fluff curl up on his lap and purr his worries away.

Phantom, however, cared more about the mice than the love he would have offered. But it was fair enough, because if cats taught him anything, it was that cats owned humans, not the other way around.

Focusing back on professor Marchand, he thought he'd seen the man's thoughts drift someplace else for a second, but he wasn't sure if he was supposed to say anything or not - would it have made the professor uncomfortable? Daehyun's social skills seriously lacked to make such a decision.

But the spells. Right.

He had to purse his lips to keep himself from giggling at Phantom's antics - and professor Marchand's, too - before picking out a blue mouse, and watching the demonstration closely. Piertotem locomotor, piertotem locomotor. Right. He needed to repeat the incantation a couple of times in his head to remember it and, mouse in the palm of his hand, he concentrated on getting the mouse to come to life, he pointed his wand at it and said, "Piertotem locomotor!"

The mouse twitched a bit and let out a squeak, and he couldn't help the excited "Oh!" he'd let out, before the mouse fell silent and unmoving again, to which he visibly deflated. Sigh.
