Now he understood why Rosalyn was so fond of this student!

He tried to think of something else to say to keep the conversation going, but he couldn't. He wanted Mr. Finch to like him, or at least feel comfortable around him, but deep down, Gaston was just as shy as his student if not more so. He nervously ran a hand through his black hair, causing it to stick up, but thankfully Phantom rescued him before the silence became too awkward. He noticed the immediate change in Mr. Finch's expression while he was petting the little black and white cat, and his own mood brightened. Blue eyes blinked incredulously as the boy asked if he could pick her up. That sounded like a bad idea! Phantom usually didn't let anyone but him hold her... but then she started pawing at the young Slytherin's leg, as if she wanted up. He nodded. "Yes, I think she'd like that."

Gaston laughed as he watched Mr. Finch and Phantom together. Was is strange that he was beginning to feel a little bit ignored?


Ollie smiled even more when the professor said he could pick up the cat. Maybe he could get a therapy cat to keep him from being nervous all the time. Slowly, Oliver picked up the cat and set her on his lap and scratched by the cat's ear. For whatever reason, she liked him so so much and he was loving every second of it. The purring was defintely the cherry on top!

BUT petting cats wasn't why he had come to visit Professor Marchand. Back to the task at hand. Still, petting the cat, he sat up a little straighter and said, "Sorry for being distracted. I, um, I actually came here because, well, I graduate soon...and I'm trying to figure out what I want to do afterwards." Would the professor know all that already? Surely he wasn't the only 7th year going through this. "And since Charms is actually my best and favorite subject, I was considering teaching it...maybe. Or doing something else involving charms? I'm not really sure... I spoke to Professor Newton and she suggested I come talk to you about it." It being the mess of thoughts that was his brain. If he could just be 100% what he wanted to do for the rest of his life, he'd be perfectly fine!
