 Lovely™ | Captain Hurted | Ariana's Bane | Resident Antagonist | Unparalleled Delight
A month of Sunday detentions with Professor Myers, and it was almost over. Almost. Today would mark the last detention of his sentence, and Daxton, though he was loathe to admit it, was slightly anxious about how today would turn out.
The first detention had been exceptionally dull, to the point that Daxton had started to wonder if the professors at Hogwarts had caught on to his total lack of tolerance for boredom. But that did not set the tone for the rest of the detentions, with each Saturday actually becoming more and more unpleasant, and therefore more interesting. From boredom, they had moved onto the vague discomfort of his completing an unappealing task without gloves, and then to the headache-inducing screeching honking daffodils last week. If the theme was to continue, this detention was likely to be worse still; but just how much worse, Daxton had no idea. The unknown element was highly unsettling. His one comfort should have been that Paul Myers generally seemed incapable of being truly cruel, but Daxton knew that even that was not something he could rely on. Anyone was a potential threat, after all. It was stupid to get lulled into a false sense of security.
Having made sure to take an allergy potion before making his way there (he had done so from the very first detention, assuming that plants would likely be involved), Daxton entered the dungeons, familiar enough with the environment that it felt no different to walking into a classroom. Same amount of tense, nervous energy, same tendency to be alert and to carefully scan the room before entering, same level of attentiveness for his surroundings at all times.
As with every other time, Daxton approached the sign-in book and filled in the necessary details, feeling quite ready to get all of this over with and finished, and attempting to keep that same bored expression on his face at all times.
