Looking down at the book now, he answered the Professor honestly.
“I uh... I haven’t finished it yet sir. Someone let me borrow it and today was just too nice a day to pass up the opportunity to read out here”, gesturing at the lush green grass that stretched on around him. “One of the characters in here, it reminded me of someone. The person who let me borrow the book actually. Ironic, huh”, His expression twisting back into his wide, monkey like smile.

“So, what bring you out here professor? If you don’t mind me asking? You’re more than welcome to join me”. Patting the ground next to him now. He honestly didn’t expect the charms professor to join him, having always suspected the older man preferred his own company, but, he thought it best to offer. After all, one must always “have courage and be kind”, whispering that last part under his breath.
The sight of Ewan's smile made Gaston's own grow wider. Did anybody ever tell this kid his smile was contagious? "I'm quite well, thank you for asking," he replied. "How are you?"

With the pleasantries out of the way, the conversation turned to the book.
No, Gaston hadn't expected him to have finished the book yet; he was just interested in his preliminary thoughts. "Well, that was nice of... whoever lent it to you," he said. His blue eyes scanned the area, taking in the scenery around him. "Too right you are... it's far too nice a day to spend stuck inside!" Normally he would be cooped up in his office grading assignments at this time of day, but the sun was too inviting. Ewan's next words received a slight eyebrow raise from the professor. "Oh? And who might that be?" he asked, referring to both the person and character in question.

Gaston was a little surprised to be invited to stay. He should be heading back to his office to get some work done soon if we was going to have any hope of going home for a visit with his wife and daughter tonight, but he supposed he could stay a little longer. Besides, he hadn't the heart to turn down such a kind invitation. "Thank you, Mr. Jones," he said, sitting on the ground beside the boy. "I don't mind you asking at all. I just came from talking a walk, and I decided to take the long way back to my office." His eyes fell to the book once again. "Do you have a favorite character so far?"
