"What kind of tea is it?" He knew there were a few kinds, but honestly he usually spit out the one his mom had given him so he wasn't sure. Pulling out one of the cookies and started munching on it. "So just tea bring you here professor or do you have a special stash of food the elves keep?" He figured they had great stashes the elves kept just for them. Maybe if he sucked up a little bit he could get some of that food too.

"Competition is interesting, isn't it?" He thought it was dumb and tried not to even interact with the AMerican's, but he knew the professors would want to hear they loved it so he would play along.

Gaston had half-expected Mr. Blaze to turn down his offer - he seemed to be in a bit of a hurry to be somewhere - but he didn't. The professor was surprised but smiled nonetheless. "Excellent! Thank you for joining me," he said. He set another teacup on the counter in front of his and was looking for cream and sugar when he heard the boy's question. "This is chamomile tea, but I'm sure we could find you another flavor if you don't like it." He aimed his wand at the nearest cabinet and summoned a couple of boxes of tea, setting them on the counter. "Here, take your pick."

Blink, blink. The next question caught him off guard slightly. Secret stash? The only stash he had was the boxes of chocolate he kept in his office, but those were for the students, not himself.... well, unless his coffee bar counted as a stash. "Yes, just tea for today," he replied. "There was none of the kind I wanted in the bistro or the coffee bar outside my office." He chuckled a bit. "No, I don't have a stash here in the kitchen, but I do keep a supply of candy in my office."

Gaston nibbled on a cookie and stirred his tea absentmindedly as the conversation turned to the competition. He wasn't sure if interesting was the word he'd use. Truth be told, he had mixed feelings about the tournament. He was happy for the students who got a chance to show off their skills, and he thought giving a scholarship as a prize was a great idea. But some aspects of the challenge bordered on barbaric, and he could already see a not-so-friendly rivalry brewing between the two schools. "It is," he agreed with a slightly forced smile. "Slytherin's done very well so far; I'm sure you must be pleased about that."
