It helped alleviate Callum's stubbornness that Davie seemed to be trying to boost his morale with his 'definitely not for you' statement, which sounded a lot like encouragement. It was strange, a bit unexpected, but the Gryffindor gave his own hair a ruffle to accompany a sigh as he agreed finally, "Okay." Okay. Just... okay. He would go back to class. Mostly because Davie had practically just volunteered himself to let Callum follow him around and learn from him, but also because he was starting to feel badly that Davie was getting so worked up over him.

Guilt. More guilt. Different guilt from the guilt that would have come from him staying in class in the first place and having to ask someone for help as he went along in the first place, but still guilt - guilt that Davie was wasting time on him at all and was feeling so passionately about it.

Wordlessly, he started walking back toward the classroom, trying to look more confident to be the dog coming crawling back with its tail between its legs than he felt about it, but then he had enough sense to offer Davie a smile, a nod, and a, "Thanks, David."

He still was not entirely convinced that this was the best course of action, but at least if he was with Davie, nothing could really go wrong.

And if that argument didn't work, David was going to have to write a strongly worded letter to M----

Oh, hey, it actually worked. Although Callum looked like he was just agreeing with David to get him to shut up, an expression his dad sometimes wore around his mum, David was glad either way. EITHER WAY, they got to go back to class now and learn lots of new things and have several mini-adventures. Together. In class. Because although Davie had no siblings, Callum could probably be the closest thing he had to a little brother. And he was fine with the Gryffindor little brother sticking by him. For now.

"Right, let's go! It'll be fun. WE will make it fun." Yes yes. Was he saying that to reassure Callum or himself? Who knew. Either way, David patted the Lion gently on the shoulder and followed him along the corridor back to Charms, still in a mostly good mood. "Did I ever tell you about that time I got handcuffed to a kid?" Heh. Funny story. Maybe now wasn't the best time to tell it, but maybe Callum could also use a distraction. Eh? Maybe?
