Ignoring the fact that he was seated between two Alfie's, Daniel shot the small first year with the teddy bear (Aiden) an annoyed look as he entered the classroom late, causing Hufflepuff House to lose five points.

Milo tapping his pen on the surface of his desk was gradually irritating him, and he was about to turn around to tell him to stop when another first year (Mercer) spoke up, and the tapping thankfully stopped.

'The Hufflepuffs are plotting'

....That elicited a snort from this Hufflepuff, and he turned his gaze to the young Ravenclaw, before turning back to look at Slytherin Alfie as he asked him a question. Daniel raised an eyebrow at the nickname but let it slide for now. "Don't say you have a question and then end it with, 'never mind'" Because he was curious as to what he was about to ask. "Let's talk after class," he said before returning his gaze to Professor Holden.

An interesting fact about one of the schools. Maya had recently taught him something about Uagadou. "I don't see Uagadou on the list, but I'd like to mention something that I learned from Maya" He began, trying hard not to blush at the mention of her name. Fortunately, he was successful. "That at Uagadou school of magic, they preferred to cast spells by pointing their fingers" So that would be wandless magic. And that was one of the coolest things ever!
