SPOILER!!: Daxton

To Kitridge's question, about extra time in lessons, Daxton simply shook his head. He was neither allotted, nor did he require extra time in classes. In fact, he tended to avoid practical classes the majority of the time, but if Kitridge did not know that, Daxton would not be the one to tell him.
While they stood there before the bookshelves, Daxton again turned his attention to the books he had collected. He moved his own notebook to the bottom of the pile, before opening up the now-on-top text and flipping through some of the pages. Looking busy, looking occupied. It was not lost on Daxton that he was currently alone with his Head of House and it was clear that Kitridge might take advantage of this situation to bring up some of the trouble Daxton had recently found himself in. Though he was not necessarily scared of any further repercussions, it just meant hassle. Aside from anything else, Daxton was still very much on his guard.
With this in mind, he started to take half a step away from Kitridge, but the last question had him stopping in his tracks, and looking up in surprise. Working on non-verbals with Kitridge? A private tutor? Even Daxton could not deny that that would be of some benefit, and might even speed the process along. But there were definite disadvantages too, including opening himself up for more opportunities to be questioned about any trouble he might end up in, or inadvertently letting Kitridge learn more about him, more information that could be used against him. Not to mention that accepting the offer would mean accepting help, which was something that Daxton would outright refuse to do.
It was for that reason that - despite wanting almost nothing more than to manage non-verbal magic - Daxton shook his head fervently, denying the offer of help in favour of his dignity. It was not unlike his refusal to let Primeaux give him any assistance; Daxton wanted nobody to claim credit for any future greatness. In his stubborn and troubled teenage mind, the most important thing was to rely on nobody, to be totally independent, no matter what.

The shake of the head Leo interpreted as a no from Daxton. He didn't get extra allotted time in classes for spell practice but then again he knew that Daxton had done his best to chose non- spell practical electives which seemed sensible given that he was trying to teach himself non-verbal magic instead. Understanding Leo still felt the need to state. "There is nothing wrong with asking for more time or some extra assistance from professors or staff, i hope you know that Daxton? It's a child's right." As a kid you weren't always supposed to be able to manage everything by yourself. You were allowed to rely on people and depend on people and most off all you didn't need to be in dependant when you were just in your early teens. Somehow he did get the impression though that Daxton felt like he had to do that. He had to manage things on his own and count on nobody. It was sad.

When Daxton turned his attention to the books he had collected Leo took a moment to continue to put up the books he had lying in his trolley on the shelves around them. He paused with a book in his hand as he saw the surprise in Daxton's eyes at his offer to tutor him in non-verbal magic. As Leo feared the boy declined his offer to help him master non-verbal magic quicker. Why Daxton was so stubborn he didn't understand but it was ultimately his choice. If he didn't want tutoring help then he wasn't going to push it on him.

It seemed like a high time to ask Daxton about his detention and heavy point loss last week. It had not gone unnoticed. Putting up a book in the DADA section he asked turning to look at Daxton again. "Can you enlighten me as to why you were in detention last week and lost Ravenclaw so many points for your actions?" He knew why since the professor involved had filled him in but Leo would like to hear Daxton's version of events and give advice even if he doubted that the boy would care to listen.
