"As if there was any doubt of that!" he exclaimed, beaming at the news of Daisy's OWL results. She was always one of his best charms students! "Congratulations on your OWL results! You'll make an excellent healer someday." She already had the kindness of a healer!

Gaston returned Daisy's grin. "Thank you," he said. "It's a conscience tattoo; it burns if I do anything morall6 wrong. He was proud of all his tattoos, but this one had a very special meaning. Each link in the chain represented a person who had been hurt under Scrimgeour's reign, either physically or emotionally, as a reminder to never allow anyone else to be subjugated that way. He debated whether or not to tell Daisy the significance but decided against it;
he didn't want to dampen her mood! So instead he listened tolistened to her tattoo idea. "That sounds like a cute tattoo!"

He was going to ask Daisy if she thought he should get a Gryffindor-inspired tattoo, but suddenly Desiree let out a whimper. Gaston knew that sound all too well; it was a warning that she was about to cry at any moment. "Poor baby Desiree," he whispered, hugging her. "I know, you don't like sharing your dad..." He chuckled, unsure whether to find Desiree's clinginess annoying or adorable!

He was so busy comforting his daughter that it took him a moment to register that Daisy offered to buy them food.
When he did, he was unsure how to react. "You don't have to-" he began, but Desiree's little voice cut him off.
"Ice cweam? Daddy, ice cweam!"

Gaston laughed, turning to Daisy as Desiree wiggled excitedly in his arms. "I'll take that as a yes!"

"Thank you!"
Daisy replied when Gaston congratulated her on her OWL results. "I plan on working really hard so that I pass my NEWTs the following term. I am not going to let anything stop me from achieving my goals."

When Gaston explained his tattoo, Daisy said kindly but a tad firmly. "That sounds like you are being hard on yourself. I understand that you and other staff members that weren't affiliated with Scrimgeour were caught between a rock and a hard place. You were not to blame for what happened. Scrimgeour was, along with his...gang."


When Desiree's voice was heard, Daisy smiled. "Ice-cream it is! What flavour do you and your daddy like?" she asked the little girl.
