*declones* Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll Gaston kept his eyes fixed on the ground, lest they betrayhis emotions. He silently cursed his shy and trusting nature. He'd had misgivings about the IMPS competition all along, but he'd kept them to himself either our of fear or blind faith...maybe both. He should've said something! If he had even the slightest idea this was going to happen, he would've fought against it with everything he had... not that it probably would've made much difference. Yes, he knew there would be precautions taken, but that made absolutely no difference to him. As far as he was concerned, there was no justification for what had happened today!
Loud angry voices jerked him out of his thoughts, and he looked up. He noticed Dora glare at him, and he dropped his gaze. She was coming this way, and... then Miss Tyler appeared. Miss Diggory was there too, thank Merlin! Gaston was relieved to see the girls safe! And then Valerie Gray happened. He could barely believe what he just saw. Lashing out at an official who had a hand in this atrocity was one thing, but lashing out at an innocent girl... He drew his wand to help Miss Spinnet, but Mr. Kenning reacted first. He gave the boy a very appreciative look. Another warning look was sent at the fighting Ilvermorny students. He was about to tell them off, but they were disbanding. Were they done here? Good. Without a word to anyone, the professor turned and left.
