It was so great to see Ariadne so excited about Charms. It really was. Davie had had his own doubts for a minute there, especially after talking to Callum, but Ariadne restored his confidence in Hogwarts' staff yet again. AND look, Callum had made it through with no ~~visible~~ problem. So did Olly. OH HEY OLLY. Davie felt like he hadn't seen him all summer! ~~Which he hadn't, but oh well.~~

"I'm glad that many of you enjoyed my little test. Exercise in the morning is the best way to wake up the mind and get it ready for learning, but that wasn't why I did this today."

Glancing back at the window he jotted a few things down again in his grade book. "I will be discussing what the reasons were very shortly and some of you will understand more, but I want the entire class in here before I get to that. First though, I would like to know your thoughts on why I had you start right away on spells instead of teaching first? Why exactly would that benefit anything for myself or for you?"

The professor was talking now. He'd have to catch up with Ariadne later, and he showed as much by pressing his finger to his lips. This dude was like sleeping bags... he was INTENSE! Heh. Heh. No, uh, not exercise, no sir. David sat up a bit straighter as the professor spoke to them all, not just to Daxton.

"It was a test, sir," he answered, starting with the obvious and obviously with raising his hand. His answer to this was pretty much exactly what he'd told Callum earlier. "Well, a pre-test, rather. You wanted to give us these tasks as a pre-test, to see how we handled magic under pressure, and to see our strengths and weaknesses, not just as individual learners, but also as a collective group." He tapped his chin. "I find it interesting that we were only required to use two spells to complete the tasks, which didn't really build in difficulty of magic, but which required some strategy and minimal creativity."

Just saying. Also, was it too early for questions? David would hold most of his questions for the moment. "Could it be that these boxes, with the sets of numbers and letters, represent something... beneficial for us? And you?" Er? "Or at least your observations of us tell us how you can best teach us." Something like that, yep.
