He felt bad about it, actually. Ducks weren't particularly clean, and they were sort of noisy, and Merlin knew they didn't have personal boundaries and often intruded on picnics and spring walks. Rude things, really.
"As for that... it's a foe glass. Keep your eye on your enemies at all times, you know? Those figures in there are my enemies, though... not yours. You are likely too young to have so many foes." Likely, but not impossible.
Daichi looked at the door from the office as the Headmaster spoke about 'being abandoned by Hufflepuff's' after Amelia had rushed down the stairs as well. Frowning, the Slytherin sighed for a second before he turned back.
His cheeks flushed a red color as the man addressed him as Mr.Duckworth but at the same time it made him grin a little bit. This was not his name however and despite having stolen his brothers identity and name to freak out Jonathan had been funny, he wanted to be addressed by his real name.
"Sorry but, my n-name is Katharos, Sir... Daichi Katharos n-n-not Duckw-worth.." curse his stuttering, he always felt nervous in an awkward situation. At least , HE felt awkward right now especially with an authority figure. He looked down at the duck that was now waddling her way over the door and then waddled back around his feet.
"I-i-i'm sorry" he apologized as he saw the headmaster staring at his duck and he prayed in his head that Floppy wasn't going to do anything stupid.
"But.." Daichi went on as he kept eyeing the duck as she went over to the man's feet.
"She's my f-friend" The last part was muttered and as if to confirm his sentence, Floppy began to quack again.
A foe glass? He had read about them before but never saw one with his own eyes. He saw the faint figures and it made him thinking who the man's enemies were. He was glad that the figures weren't his though.
Right.. maybe he should go. The whole situation was just plain awkward and it had already been at least two hours since he enchanted the duck to be his friend with the spell they had learned in class and his spell work wasn't fascinating at all so he was afraid it would stop working soon and the duck would cause a ruckus.
"Sorry for wasting your time sir" he said and made a deeeeeeep bow like the one he had given a Gryffindor girl in Defence class. .
"I-i'll leave now should i send a person up that is waiting downstairs or..not?"
