"Apologies," the astronomer said nonchalantly towards Hershel without drawing too much attention to the boy's situation. He had never been the best pet owner to the ferret and it was probably for the best that he leave it with Medea the next time he stopped by home. "But perhaps this can help a little with that." Wand out, the professor gave it a wave towards the second year to produce a Bubble Head Charm around the boy. At least it would deter further contamination.

He stood there, his gangly suited frame a temporary barrier between Mr. Prince and the exit. Just in case, well, the young man wanted to come clean with anything before it was too late. Although the man was not terribly optimistic that the odds were in favor of Mr. Prince keeping his hands in tact. "Yes?" he prompted, nodding his head towards the two notes in the second year's possession.

Being patient was so much easier when one was not resisting a spirited potty dance performance.


Daxton looked from the note in his left hand to the note in his right, then back again, over and over, considering them closely. It was during a moment that he glanced up that Daxton noticed Airey Flamsteed pointing his wand straight at him. A sudden surge of alarm and adrenaline went through him, and he flinched automatically, bracing for... something.

But nothing came, nothing sinister in any case. Only the Bubble Head Charm. Daxton, eyes slightly wider in residual surprise, looked uncertainly at the professor, then reached up to inspect his own face. He prodded at the bubble, finding it curious, attempting to test its limits and boundaries, seeing if it might give in and disappear or burst if he pushed at it too much, working out just how much leeway it gave. It served as a decent protection, the Ravenclaw noticed, from the allergen in the room that took the form of a ferret.

He blinked, and looked up at Airey Flamsteed again, prompted out of his reverie by the man's single word. After a moment, he handed over the two notes; the one in his right hand ('I want to read about the science of magic. I checked the library but I thought you might know or have a good one and that I could have it for a while.'), and the one in his left ('I want to move to Gryffindor.'), and went back to poking at the bubble around his face, still consumed with intrigue.

No admission about the other book came, the one he had hidden about his person to steal. Though Daxton knew that Airey Flamsteed knew, he was not prompted to give the book up in the slightest; it was far too tempting to see what might happen if he did not.
