Even at twelve, Eddie wanted nothing to do with his own kind usually. They were more annoyances than useful, but the adults were useful so he had to play nice. "Oh well that is fine, whatever you have is fine." He really didn't know much about tea and the kinds of tea. His mother made some, but he usually didn't like it or tossed it in the sink when she wasn't looking.
So he had no stash, well he assumed most professors did. Honestly why not. This was a sweet deal right here. Having these many elves wait on you hand and foot. He wondered if one would be temporarily stolen over summer if anyone would really notice. Maybe that would be his newest planning. How to get a house elf to be his over summer. It could be the perfect plan. Plus renting him out to friends could make him tons of money. This plan was looking better and better, but first the professor, yes he would focus and be nice for now. "Oh candy, that is always a good thing to have around your office I bet." He could careless about coffee so no point in even talking more about that bar the professor spoke of.
Please? Was he really suppose to be please? "Well sir, truth be told I am please. They are part of my house so all the pride in the world." He hadn't even showed up for the competitions, so had no clue what they were and cared to know either. "I do think it's sad though sir, that more didn't get the chance to be part of it. Makes for a long term for some just sitting around watching, but at least we have something to watch since there are no sports here." Not that he cared about sports, but it was kind of hard to sneak around a castle with no sports to entertain people and make them go away. That was the only reason he enjoyed the competition, while everyone was at the stands he got to be alone around the castle.
Gaston smiled as he filled the other teacup with hot water and placed a tea bag inside. When the tea was ready, he gently slid the cup across the counter to Mr. Blaze.
"Would you like some cream or sugar?" he offered.
Speaking of which, his tea could use a little more sugar! He stirred a spoonful into his cup as he listened to the boy. If he could've read his thoughts, he would've been shocked and appalled at what he was planning to do with the school house elves, but as it was, he remained blissfully unaware of his plans. He smiled, nodding on reply to what was said about the candy in his office.
"Well, if you should ever want any candy, now you know where to go!" he said with a slight chuckle. Honestly, he didn't think he'd get any visitors at all if it weren't for the candy supply in his office!
Then the subject turned to the IMPS competition. Gaston raised an eyebrow, slightly taken aback by what the boy said, but he had to admit he'd made a fair point.
"Yes, I suppose that's true," he agreed. He'd had concerns early on that the students who weren't chosen might feel left out, but he'd been overruled. And as it turned out, he was right... what a shock.
"Maybe you can find a way to make watching the games a bit more interesting?" Then the Slytherin mention sports.
"Oh? Are you a sports fan?" the professor asked.
