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."
She beamed with pride at his words. It meant more to her than she could ever say that he was proud of her hard work.
"Thank you, sir. I didn't want to disappoint you." All the practicing she had been doing with
Daisy was really paying off. She was going to thank her friend again when they got back from the trip. Maybe even bake some cookies for her.
Emmalyn continued to smile as she finished packing all of her supplies in the one tiny bag. It still amazed her what magic could do. Growing up as a muggle hadn't prepared her for life as a witch. There were still so many things that she didn't even know were possible and she was continually surprised by them.
