"I think she had a crush on you, Sir" come one, no girl would make pastries for someone that many times. "Please tell me you two dated at least once" Yeah he knew it was rude to ask someone that but come on, he loved love and being curious did not help either.

"Of course i want to try the spell again" he said and took his wand out. "Ok so usually when i try a spell, my mind gets cluttered with random thoughts" he said "Most of the time its songs" annoyingly enough. He pointed his wand at the box of macarons across the table and was about to use Accio when a thought popped up that he HAD to voice. "Did you know that when you have a song stuck in your head your brain actually wants you to finish the song....

Oh right..spell"
he added as if he just realised what he had wanted to do.

He aimed his wand at the box, tried to concentrate on the box moving towards him and said "Accio!" The box moved. Actually moved a few inches closer to him and Dorian looked up in surprise that he broke the connection again. HAD HE SEEN THAT?! "Accio!" he tried again but this time nothing happened.

With a sigh, the Ravenclaw placed his wand on the table. "I honestly don't know what i'm doing wrong. My wand is an Acacia and i read that this wood will refuse to perform magic when anyone but its owner holds it. But i AM the owner so why is it not listening?" could he hear the frustration in his voice? Cause he was definitely frustrated about this.

So he could cook and make a mess and the Professor would clean it up after him? Deal! Without a word, Dorian hurried towards the small kitchen. "I'm guessing since its sugar cookies i need sugar?" he asked as he began opening cabinet doors to find it.

He was like at a level 0 when it came to cooking.
Blink, blink. Well this conversation certainly took an awkward turn! Goodness, how did he put that idea into Dorian's head?! He and Lorraine were both happily married to other people! Gaston looked down and took a sip of his coffee, trying to hide the blush rising to his cheeks. He didn't know whether to be amused or appalled by the question! "It's not like that..." he said. "Her brother's been my best friend since I was about your age, so she's really more like a big sister than anything else." The boy's next words nearly made him choke on his coffee. "We did once... it was a pity date set up by her brother. It was weird." He couldn't help but smile a little at the memory. "We decided it was best that we remain friends and nothing more."

He was grateful when the subject changed. "I'm glad to hear that," he said with an encouraging smile. His expression changed at what was said next. "I understand; concentration is a common problem when learning magic." Well, maybe not so much getting distracted by songs... He chuckled. "No, I didn't know that, but it makes sense." So was Dorian going to try the summoning charm again or...?

He took the wand aimed at the box as a yes. Gaston's face brightened as he watched the box move a few inches but soon fell as it stopped. He offered the young Ravenclaw a sympathetic look as he set his wand down. He could remember experiencing that same frustration many times in his younger days. He thought for a minute. "I think it's because it senses your distraction," he said. Granted, he wasn't a wandmaker, but that was his best guess. "Next time you try the summoning charm, think of how amazing it'll be to see the object flying toward you. Or if that doesn't work, maybe you could make up a song about the spell to think about." Well, he said he kept getting songs stuck in his head...

Gaston followed Dorian to the kitchen area, nodding in reply to the question."It does," he said. He pulled out a sugar cookie recipe card and read off the ingredients. "Sugar, flour, butter, baking soda, baking powder, eggs, and vanilla extract." He suddenly got an idea! "We could try summoning some of the ingredients, if you like." Now what should he ask the boy to try to summon? Flour? No. Eggs? Definitely not! "You could try summoning a mixing bowl from that cabinet." He inclined his head in the direction of the cabinet. There, that shouldn't make too much of a mess if the spell went wrong!
