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.
Gaston half-expected Dorian to question the freshness of the baked goods further, but it seemed his explanation had appeased him for the time being, or so the professor thought, judging by the nodding. "She is nice," he replied, smiling. "She used to give me pastries every day when we were at Beaubatons." He almost laughed out loud as he remembered one time when he'd been through a bad breakup, and Lorraine tried to cheer him up by feeding him crepes - crepes that unbeknownst to her, her brother had spiked with alihotsy leaves. He wound up in the infirmary for the rest of the day with fits of laughter, but on the bright side, it led to one of Lorraine's signature recipes!

He was so lost in thought that he almost missed what Dorian said next. "I'll be sure to thank her for you," he promised. "If you ever visit her bakery, just tell her you know me, and she'll give you any dessert you like." Which, if his present eating habits were any indication, would probably be more macarons. Gaston smiled as Dorian took a few macarons from the box, but his face fell as the subject turned to . "I'm sorry to hear that, Mr. Katharos," he said, giving the boy a sympathetic look. "Would you like to try that spell again now? I could offer you a few pointers..."

Gaston nodded as understanding dawned in his eyes, and his smile returned. "Oh, I see," he said. "To tell you the truth, I'm not fond of cleaning either, but if you want to try cooking, you won't have to do the cleaning." He brandished his wand. "Trust me, magic makes the job go faster. A couple of quick spells, and I can undo whatever mess happens." His smile turned into a chuckle as the boy asked for yet another macaron. "Of course," he said, holding the box out to him. "That's why they're here."

Gaston watched Dorian get up, half-expecting him to make a beeline for the door, but... His blue eyes widened slightly as the boy said he wanted to try cooking. Well, that was a pleasant surprise! "Glad to hear it!" he said, beaming. He thought for a minute, deciding on a recipe. Maybe he'd like to try making his own macarons? But that was probably a little too complicated for someone just starting out. "Why don't we try making some sugar cookies?" he suggested. That was a pretty simple recipe that didn't require any complicated spells.
