Excuse you, Airey Flamsteed. Daxton paused and looked up, narrowing his eyes slightly at the outright accusation that he would need anything. Of course, he blew it completely out of proportion, stubborn and oversensitive as he was about 'needing' anything or anyone. Glowering at the professor for a moment or two, Daxton went back to his notebook, while under the desk he stretched out his leg and used his bare foot to nudge the apple so that it rolled even further away. After that, he simply left the apple there, and continued to draw in his notebook.
He continued to do so even as the class started, though looked up very quickly at the mention of a dragon in the room. Alert, eyes wide, Daxton looked wildly about the room, certain he had not seen a dragon earlier, and even more certain that bringing a dragon into one of the Hogwarts towers was a Very Bad Idea. But there was no dragon, and no further mention of them either, and Daxton was left confused and unsettled, and eventually figured that that had simply been another nonsensical saying that he did not understand.
Apples, though. Daxton... did not care about apples. He was unhappy enough about being surrounded by food and the potential for people to start eating - that Gryffindor, Zeke Browne was already crunching on one a little way away, and Daxton was trying very hard not to look in his direction - and did not care to be any part of a discussion on food, either. He turned his attention back to his notebook to draw until they moved onto a non-food topic, but almost instantly his head shot up yet again.
Because of the ghost.
The very shrill ghost. The very loud ghost.
Scowling, Daxton dropped his pen and pressed his hands over his ears to block out that horribly piercing, annoying ghostly laughter. He was half tempted to grab an apple belonging to one of the students closest to him, and to throw it at the ghost. Knowing it would have no effect, however, stopped him.
The ghost was now talking about Airey Flamsteed. No amount of covering his ears could block that out, something about a decoration and a story behind it. Daxton, ears still covered, eyed the ghost, and then Airey Flamsteed, incredibly suspicious. What was it talking about?
