 Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll
Gaston sat with his back to the students, lost in his sad thoughts. Occasionally he would look up and watch the students having fun or Argyle and the other house elves making smoothies for the students. He gave the elves an appreciative nod in acknowledgement before turning his attention back to his drink. He twirled the little colored umbrella as his thoughts wandered back to that fight he'd had with his father; the happy party noises did nothing to drown out the harsh words echoing in his mind.
He sighed; he just wanted to be alone now! The thought crossed his mind to end the party early, but he decided against it. That would only earn him more disapproval, and he'd had enough of that for one lifetime. He was about to leave Miss Summers and Mr. Salander in charge of the festivities and sneak out the door when Miss Kettleburn came up to him. He couldn't help but smile a little at the way she was prancing and skipping, but that smile turned into a laugh when she mentioned him being a spoil sport. "No, we can't have that, can we, Miss kettleburn?" he replied.
As sad and nervous as Gaston was, he didn't have the heart to turn down the girl's invitation. And besides, he was already wet from the water fight, so there was no harm in joining the students in the pool. He rose from his seat, but before he could follow Miss Kettleburn, someone (Ava) sent a jet of water at him while his back was turned. Who did that?! He wheeled around, wand drawn, his blue eyes searching the room for the culprit. Since he couldn't be sure who it was that splashed him, he settled for sending an aquamenti spell into a group of random students.
The professor approached the edge of the pool just in time to see Miss Evans getting pushed in. He sighed, giving Miss Way a slightly disapproving look. He knew it was all in fun, but really, you could hurt somebody doing that! Well, he should've known it was only a matter of time before that happened... "Merlin's beard! Are you okay, Miss Evans?" he asked, eyeing the girl with concern as she surfaced.
