SPOILER!!: lolol yah it's already a bit of a mouthful as it is

It wouldn't be entirely true to say that Toby hadn't noticed the stare that Professor Dakest had given him, but he was doing his very best to pretend, even to himself, that he'd not seen it. Partly because he didn't know what to make of it, and that made him nervous, partly because it somehow reminded Toby of that last interaction in class, but also maybe 'cause it reminded him a little bit of Piers. And that was unacceptable right now.

So he kept his eyes off him again for the moment, but looking down at the grass and still twirling his wand every so quickly and smoothly through his fingers, his very favourite mode of fidgeting. Other than bouncing, of course, but he wasn't in a very bouncy mood. "Yeah," Toby replied. "... Maybe." He... wasn't so sure he was all that good at looking out for anyone anymore.

Then he'd spun his wand right into a proper spell-casting hold, and waved it at the ground again. A whole new crop of daisies and other flowers started to spring up amidst the others, more than before. Toby thought they were beautiful. "It's Orchideous Evoco," he said again, keeping his eyes on them. "I always picture the flowers I want, and they appear, or sometimes I like to cast it and see what shows up, and something always does. It's harder with things like roses and that, but not, like, impossible."

Sabel blinked at the boy, in a somewhat deadpan way. Well, there went most of his stories. Especially those of Knocturn and his recent encounters there. It was a brief, but serious thought as to if he should just fail the kid from his class right now. DADA and Fuller-Thompson didn't seem to be made for each other. Not that he didn't think the boy could do the work or the spells, just that he didn't have the heart too. It was sad, really, how soft and gentle and innocent he was and how one day, the world might just eat him up. He wasn't sure whether Dark Wizards would have copious amounts of fun with him, or consider him such a non-threat that they would simply ignore him. Sabel hoped fervently for the later, but more that the kid would never, ever encounter a Dark anything in his life. He'd be happy if the boy got to keep his naive attitude. If the world didn't break it. Please world, be kind. Just this once. The flat stare he had given the boy slowly faded for a small smile at his enthusiasm. "Well, it sounds like he has a good older brother to watch out for him." Withdrawing his wand from his sleeve, Sabel turned it about slowly in his hands, running his fingers along a few of the nicks in the wood as his eyes drifted to the daisies.
