He SHOULD be OKAY. Damn, were all of Willy's classes THAT traumatizing?! Maybe he should go back to teaching dragons instead of children...
As he waited for the other students to file in to the barn, Daichi used the sleeve from his robe to wipe away the tears in his eyes and cheeks. He wanted this class to end ..no .. he wanted Mr.Duckles his plushed duck who was still at home. That thing gave him comfort but he felt lost in these kind of situations (which luckily didn't occur too often) without it.
He hadn't heard the Professor saying his name but he did fell a hand on his shoulder. The Slytherin snapped his head up before he relaxed a bit and tried to smile, even if it is a weak smile. But upon hearing what he said Daichi frowned.
"I-I wasn't scared of the the creature but..because of the fir--" He trailed off as he blushed feverishly and looked back down at his lap. He didn't like it that anyone knew... only one person in Hogwarts knew his past and he hadn't seen that person in a while either so he couldn't talk about it.
"I-i'm fine, sir.. sorry" Quote:

He'd have to send an owl to Medea explaining how his class had ended up going and that they'd reschedule for next term.
So! That just left two things. "Would anyone else like to share their thoughts or ask any questions? If not, I'll assign your homework for today's lesson... and I just want to say, despite all the panicking and not following directions, you are a very impressive group of students and I'm proud of all you."
There. A little positive motivation for them. He meant it, too, every word.
As Williamson moved away, Daichi tried to listen to the other students and slowly he began to control his breathing and eventually when he knew he wasn't in danger anymore he relaxed.. atleast tried to. He let out a long shaky breath to calm himself and when the Professor told them his original plan was to practise this in a safe enviroment made him shake his head.
And then... he was proud of them? His cheeks flashed red for the second time because he didn't have the feeling he was directing his words towards him. The only thing he had done this lesson was ...standing still in fear. Oh and throwing away his PRECIOUS CHOCOLATE!
"P-professor?" he voiced with his hand raised.
"Can i have..Mr.Duckl--i mean Ducky duck back? Please?" He meant his Pygmy Puff of course.
