SPOILER!!: Here we are indeed :)

What was the lesson being taught again? Flower making, or the basis of all spells and learning?

Turning the dandelion in his hand, Sabel considered the boy across from him. "I did, didn't I?" He fell quiet for a moment before he held the flower up in front of him, propping his elbow on his knee. "My issues is that while it did work, it didn't work in the way I expected it to. Nothing so grand or beautiful as yours." He made a gesture to the boy's flower grouping.

The kid was smart, even if full of self doubt. Surely the dots were connecting here, in this unexpected lesson.

"What would you suggest to me?"

Perhaps he should have been, and perhaps he had been at first, but after the first few words had been exchanged, and Dakest asked to learn the flower spell, he'd not been expecting the professor to bring up patronuses at all. The fact that he'd misjudged it made his head hurt. So when the word was mentioned, he winced. Just a tiny bit, but a wince all the same. He tried to pass it off as a shrug or something similar. Tried. "Not really," he replied, shaking his head and glancing at Dakest's face for a split second before looking back at the flowers. "I don't think so." When Dakest cast the spell, Toby was surprised at his reaction, the expression on his face when he looked at him properly. Hadn't it worked? He'd just watched it work. "But it's a flower. You made flowers grow... it worked. Spells barely ever work perfectly the first time." He paused, eyes now fixed firmly on the flower in Dakest's hand, rather than the professor's face. "Even you said in class, to not worry about not getting... a spell, y'know, straight away." Or something. Okay. So. Maybe that was the one thing the flower spell and the patronus charm had in common. But that was the same with all magic. What was the lesson being taught again? Flower making, or the basis of all spells and learning?
