Claudine had been agitated with him before which was why he recognized that her tone was different despite her telling him to calm down. To him, it had not sounded rude but more like a warning. Something that Minjae did from time to time and he wondered if his big brother, who was friends with Claudine had taught her that method. Cause it worked. The boy stopped bouncing on his feet and looking way too eager for someone possibly entering the restricted section. She was right, this was no time to be giddy. But he did not stop staring intently at the professors as if he could somehow hypnotise them into saying that he could enter the restricted section.

Staring at the professors meant that he had completely missed Atlas throwing a nasty glare at the older Slytherin and had defended him right now. Even if he did not need defending. Especially not from someone like Atlas Flamsteed!

More students and a professor joined them but he had no eye for any of them because when Professor Kazmi mentioned that he would vouch for the students Daniel almost gasped. He had not excluded him!!!

HE WAS GOING TO ENTER THE RESTRICTED SECTION!!!!!

Even his Head of House couldn't say no now! she...couldn't right? RIGHT?!
