I have a friend who enjoys baking, so she sends me pastries every couple of days." He realized how that probably sounded and quickly added, "Not to worry - she uses plenty of spells to keep everything fresh."
He chuckled to himself a little. "Good choice! Macarons it is!" he said. He aimed his wand at a pink box on the counter, and it flew across the room into his waiting hands. "Freshly made this morning..." He opened the box, revealing several neat rows of colorful cookies. "Pick your favorite color."
Gaston's eyes followed Dorian's to the kitchen area, but his expression darkened at what the boy said next. "Whatever happens, I'm sure we could fix it," he said with an encouraging smile. "Don't let fear stop you from trying something new. We could start out with something simple..." His face fell; it broke his heart to see a student so down on himself! "You don't suck at magic! You're still learning, and mistakes are just a part of the learning process. After all, if we got every spell right on the first try, I'd be out of a job!" He chuckled sheepishly. "All you need is a little practice." That and some confidence, but who was he to talk bout that?
Dorian had wanted to comment on the freshness of the food when the Professor seemed to have read his mind and he nodded his head to show he understood.
"That friend sounds nice. Say thank you for me and make sure to mention my full name so when i am in that bakery one day i'll get a free dessert" cause that was how life worked right?
His blue eyes watched in fascination as a pink box was summoned towards them and he looked inside to see the macarons.
"I know that Accio is a fourth year spell but i tried to learn it last year together with Rylee" he said as he picked out not one not two but three....ok four macarons from the box. Hey his favourite color wasn't included!
"We got nowhere!" he laughed and took a bite from the first dessert.
Eating the second macaron, Dorian shrugged his shoulders once.
"Nah, it isn't fear. I just don't like cleaning" he said and ate the last macaron he had taken and then looked at the box.
"Can i have another one?" he asked.
"I know that im still learning. But i want to be able to do a spell right away" he sighed heavily.
"But i guess i don't want the professors to lose their jobs either" he had honestly never thought about it like that. Did that make him a selfish person?
Looking over at the cooking area again, Dorian suddenly got up.
"I want to make something" he said with more determination than that he felt
"It would be a good practice right? What is easy to make?" he asked.
