Daniel scoffed as Atlas admitted that he was deliberately being slow, and Daniel sat down beside the chest box on the floor, observing Atlas' face without saying a word and as he picked out another seemingly random item, Daniel leaned back on his arms.

His thoughts returned to Flourish and Blotts, and how Lisa had accused him, albeit jokingly, of being jealous of the Gryffindor. And as he sat there, staring at him, he confirmed that she was mistaken. Daniel Yoon was not jealous of Atlas Flamsteed. Why would he be? Clearly, he was superior in everything except age.

Why wasn't he leaving and returning to his practice with the ping pong ball in his hand? For one, the distance rule only applied to Atlas, not him. And, secondly. It was probably because Atlas' next set of words piqued his interest. "What good things?" he found himself asking before he could stop himself. He despised being interested in any of Flamsteed's activities yet here he was.

"I want to ask you something" he said out of the blue after a moment of silence as he moved to sit upright again with his legs crossed.
