Gaston kept his eyes (and ears) on the students for the remainder of the mini activity. He saw Stasya and Jackson hard at work in their practice and nodded approvingly to each of them in turn. "Nice work, Miss Dalgaard-Volkova, " he said. "You too, Mr. Thomas. "

Elsewhere, he overheard Daisy and Jessa say the incantation out loud and gave each girl an appreciative look, a silent thank you for doing as he asked without complaint. While he personally wouldn't have been fussed about a lack of a spoken incantation, he wouldn't be surprised if Le Roux interpreted silence as an act of defiance. He inwardly sighed, pinching at the bridge of his nose. Merlin's beard, it was so exhausting trying to anticipate his (for lack of a better word) partner's next move and stop trouble before it started!

Gaston stood to one side, silently listening as Le Roux explained the main activity. So far, so good, and... Blink, blink. What the heck, Le Roux?! Bright blue eyes widened at the mention of glitter and semi-permanent sticking charms, and it was all Gaston could do to clench his teeth so his mouth wouldn't drop open in shock. Since when was that part of the plan? He shot the other professor a quizzical look. He had... so many questions, but none he dared voice at the moment. Like, had Le Roux forgotten that glitter was contraband? Or that a messy uniform was grounds for punishment? Was he actually trying to set the students up for trouble? He saw Le Roux's smirk out of the corner of his eye and realized the man knew exactly what he was doing. So tell me, Le Roux, are you going to hand out punishments yourself or leave that to your colleagues? he thought bitterly.

Gaston bowed his head, trying to hide the anger blazing in his eyes. His hands rested firmly atop his cane to keep them from balling into fists or reaching for his wand. He wanted to vanish those stupid glitter balls before they caused any trouble for the students, but that would go over about as well as poking a sleeping dragon in the eye! He was staying still and silent, just like a good robot, for now. But if Le Roux even tried punishing these kids for a rule infraction he caused, the claws would come out!

As Gaston was consumed by his dark thoughts, he couldn't help but wonder... Oh, good Godric Gryffindor, the kids don't think I had a hand in this, do they? And why wouldn't they? He should've guessed something like this would happen... He should've put a stop to it instead of standing here, powerless. He kept his head down as he continued berating himself. He didn't want to look up, lest he accidentally lock eyes with anyone, but he finally forced himself. The best thing he could do for the kids now was keep an eye on them (and Le Roux).

He saw several students practicing the spell and, to his relief, no one had been glittered yet, but he was too distracted by his thoughts to offer much praise aside from a nod at each student. It was only when he heard Maxton's question that he spoke, Technically, no, but I wouldn't advise attempting this spell with anything larger than an armchair. The larger the object, the more concentration it takes to keep it moving... and the greater the damage it could do if it goes off course."

Moments later, Gaston looked at his watch. Time was winding down, but he was going to let Le Roux give the time warning.

OOC: Sorry I haven't posted in so long! I've been sick the past few days.

You still have about 27 HOURS for the activity.
