A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
Pleased that the old man did not interrupt him while he explained the concept of the Dementors, Mason finished explaining and he waited for the typical shock and disbelieve. For a moment, he thought that the would believe him in an instant and Mason would have called him a fool if he had. Not out loud though but in his mind. A teenager coming up to you and saying you're in danger of your soul getting sucked out? HA! That was hilarious , even he would question his own sanity if he had been a muggle.
So this was why Mason smiled, the corners of his mouth curling up a bit because the man not 100% believing him meant that he was starting to become sane and thought rationally. He did not push his believe though because it did not matter if he was believed or not, he would lose the memory of this event eventually.
Looking around at the tall trees as well, Mason searched for another fiery red X in the distance and saw one near their left. Turning back to face the man, Mason nodded his head. Wisest decision he had made , following him. "Let's make a deal, Sir" he said suddenly. "You'll come with me and we both can get out of this forest and once we're out i'll make sure you get back home without any knowledge of the bad stuff that has happened. You'll believe you had the most relaxing and peaceful walk through this forest. It's a win for the both of us so, deal?"
He had never done the memory charm himself and he wasn't entirely fond of it. And in fear of messing it up and be the cause of this man's brain damage was not something he wanted on his conciousness. Besides, the old man was still affected by the Dementor and Mason knew that the moment they were far away from it, they would both feel better. He needed professional help and did not care if this would cost him points. He understood that sometimes, it was necessary for someone to have their bad memory gone in order to move on. And clearly this man wanted to forget. Who was he to deny his happiness? He could be cold and calculating but that did not mean he had no heart. He simply wasn't the right person to do this.
