Being completely unaware at the moment that Victoria was making a mean drawing of him, Daniel turned his attention to the older Gryffindor boy (Atlas) who decided to intervene with his and Lisa's conversation.

While Lisa was impressed, Daniel was not. He looked skeptical as his brown eyes went over to see the professor. "HE is a war hero?" he asked, not bothering with whispering anymore. "How do you know? " he knew what this curse was, Ashley had explained it to him back in Diagon Alley. "Did you witness it? Why did he get cursed?" He scooted closer to the second year and stared at him intently as if he could find answers by looking at him.

He looked away however when he heard his name being mentioned and after a short look around he realized that it had been Victoria who stood with Alfie and Serena. He rolled his eyes at her comment. "Don't listen to her Alfie! Gellar is the WORST and a crybaby!"

Daniel jumped in his seat as the professor began class all of the sudden. He listened to the rest of the students giving their answers to the question about empathy. "It's when you like, really FEEL what others are feeling right? Which sounds absolutely energy draining to me. I mean, who wants that?"
