Daxton Prince definitely did not return the smile. Not necessarily due to any ill-feeling towards the teacher (although these rules were enough to make him uneasy about the lesson in general), but because he simply was not a smiler. Especially not at the moment. And, as far as he was concerned, he was not expected to make any sign of acknowledgement in return anyway.

As the class got underway, Daxton kept his attention firmly on Professor Baxter, waiting for her to hurry up and get past the formalities; he did not care about getting full credit, all that was official rubbish that never bothered him in the slightest, he only cared about actually learning things. Thankfully, there wasn't too long to wait.

But at first, Daxton hesitated. He had no issue writing a paragraph about Charms. He had read a lot about them - already gone through his textbook cover to cover more than once - and had knowledge about them to fill much more than a paragraph. But something Professor Baxter had said made him pause. Because she wanted to get to know them.

Why?

He wasn't sure he liked the sound of that, and so, while everyone got to work around him, Daxton fixed the teacher with a dubious stare. He held it for a good few moments, considering, before making a decision. It would not be difficult to write a paragraph, but hold back on the more telling details. He would do that.

Getting out a fresh piece of parchment, then taking his regular non-magical biro from his pocket, Daxton quickly and neatly printed out a paragraph in very small handwriting.

SPOILER!!: Notes

He sat back and looked at his parchment, squinting slightly. Was that held back enough? Did it reveal too much about him? It was hard to gauge, but it would have to do.

SPOILER!!: Notes Daxton Prince First Year Ravenclaw Charms Charms I know a lot about charms already, more I think than I could fit into a paragraph, and I do not want to write that much. Charms are useful spells; life would be exponentially easier with the knowledge and practical skills of the charms just in the first year textbook. Charms makes more sense than Transfiguration, where the rules of physics are ignored and things can be created from nothing. I want to learn all the charms. What is the point of learning them if I do not learn them all. He sat back and looked at his parchment, squinting slightly. Was that held back enough? Did it reveal too much about him?
