Settling in for dinner, Cane was reading a book as he waited for it to begin in earnest. He hadn't heard about anything out of the ordinary happening though he had thought there to be a peculiar sort of tension among his fellow students.

He looked up respectfully as the deputy headmaster addressed them. He listened as they were told about the passing of Miss Benet. He thought on his own experimental forays whenever a spell or potion caught his eye no matter the year it was meant for. Perhaps he would need to reign that in a little lest he end up a victim of his own curiosity.
