Gaston watched from his place at the front of the room as the students began their activity. So far, so good. He was going to ask the students to help each other out, but Kay beat him to it; he smiled, nodding to underscore her words. With that, he started to wander around the room in the opposite direction of his colleague.

An angry voice caused his head to whip around, spilling his black hair into his eyes, and he weaved through the piles of supplies to Daisy's side. "You aren't in trouble about the bags, Daisy," he assured her. Certainly not with him, and he would gladly take the fall for her if any stuffed shirt at the Ministry even tried to make trouble about it... which, admittedly, wouldn't surprise him at all after last term. It was a simple misunderstanding, could've happened to anyone! He shot her an apologetic look. "I'm sorry you couldn't use your own bags, but I hope you understand why we have that rule." Using bags that were approved for manufacture with the charm made trouble with the Ministry a lot less likely. "The important thing is that you already know how to do a spell that many students older than you struggle with. I'm impressed with your initiative!"

He gave her a small smile before turning away, but his smile vanished as he saw Emmalyn struggling - not because she couldn't yet do the spell, of course! He knew how difficult that spell was to master, so he had a plan B in place. If all else failed, he had a supply of bags with the charms still on them for anyone who needed them. Besides, he never expected perfection, just effort. He wanted to help the poor girl but she was looking to Kay instead, so he reluctantly forced himself to stay out of it for now. He glanced at the other professor. Did they need him? It was taking every bit of restraint he had not to go into overprotective dad mode and rush over there, especially when he saw her stamp her foot. Seeing her so upset deflated his mood, and he was seriously questioning his decision to teach the Undetectable Extension charm. he should've know it was too hard...

Just when Gaston thought they should pack it in and call the trip off, Emmalyn did it! He could no longer stay out of it and approached her with a huge smile on his face. "Congratulations, Emmalyn! I knew you could do it," he said, his eyes twinkling with pride. "I'm so proud of you for not giving up! That was quite an accomplishment. Even Hermione Granger struggled with that spell when she was a lot older than you, and she was the brightest witch of her time."

He glanced around the room, silently hoping there wouldn't be any more problems, and beamed as he saw Maddie practicing. She looked to be on the right track so far. "Great start, Miss Kemp!" he praised her, though from where he was standing, he couldn't quite tell if her first attempt at the spell had been successful. "How's it going so far?" If she needed help, he was right here.

OOC: You still have AT LEAST 33 HOURS to finish, so no rush!
