Thankfully for you, professor, the incident made her entirely unaware of any blushing going on on your side of the conversation - her psychic empathy a bit clouded at the moment.

"E-Everything alright, professor?" she squeaked softly before accepting his invitation inside, good trusting Hufflepuff that she was, her own agenda momentarily pushed to the side. Hard to do otherwise when one had essentially just been held at wandpoint by a professor, you know?
Gaston's heart sank as he saw Miss Skeeter's eyes widening... not that he blamed her one bit! Why, she'd reacted much more calmly than he would've if one of his professors held him at wandpoint. "Merlin's beard! I am so sorry, Miss Skeeter!" he exclaimed, hanging his head in shame. "I... I thought you were one of the poltergeists. First the incident in the kitchens, then the stairs, then someone vandalized my office and..." He sighed, running a hand through his hair. Honestly, he thought those two had it out for him! "...and I'm just a little on edge." Okay, that was a huge understatement!

He half-expected the girl to turn and run away, but he was relieved when she didn't. As he re-entered his office, the black and white cat who'd been perched atop the cat condo jumped down and hid under his desk with a loud hiss. Apparently he wasn't the only one on edge! "Please sit down," the Frenchman said, gesturing toward the leather chairs in front of his desk. He took his seat in the larger chair behind the desk and tilted a glass dish full of chocolates toward his student. "Here, help yourself." Hopefully she wouldn't think he'd poisoned the chocolates after the wand incident!

"Hello Professor Marchand. " She said as she entered the room and smiled warmly at him. "How are you? " She asked nicely before he asked what he could do for her and she smiled a bit.

"Well. " The purple eyed girl clasped her hands in front of her a happy smile on her face. "You see, I've figured out I can do non verbal magic.. not a lot mind you, and so far just first year spells. " She explained.. as she pushed some of her hair behind her ear.

"I was wondering if you could teach me some better techniques, or even help me out with it? Lessons? So to speak? " She asked him softly.
Gaston gave the young Ravenclaw a polite nod in acknowledgement. "I'm fine, thank you for asking," he replied automatically, dropping his gaze so she wouldn't see the emotion in his eyes. In reality, he was far from fine. Fear for his own safety and a broken heart... not a good combination! But his student didn't need to know all that, did she?

He took a seat in the large leather chair behind his desk, and his cat jumped into his lap with a plaintive meow, as if she could sense his sadness. He gave the black and white persian a little scratch behind the ear as he motioned for Miss Snow to sit down. His eyes changed upon hearing the reason for her visit. "Nonverbal magic already? I'm impressed!" he said. Noverbal magic at the third year was exceedingly rare; even he himself hadn't been able to do it until then end of his fourth year. "Of course, Miss Snow. I'd be more than happy to help." After all, teaching was his job!

He nodded when she said she'd only been able to do first year spells so far. "Well, that's to be expected. Learning nonverbal magic is like learning the spells all over again," he went on. The same also applied to learning wandless magic, but they'd cross that bridge later. "Let's see what you can do. Try to levitate that dish." He inclined his head toward the glass candy dish on the desk in front of him. Seeing where she was at now would help him determine the best way to help her.
