Along the way, William could sense that something was off with Samuel.
However, as for Samuel, William couldn't be bothered to use something like mind-reading magic on him.

"Samuel, I really think something's up with you," William said, raising an eyebrow and smiling at Samuel. "Is there something on your mind?"

"Uh... Teacher Dexter, please take Mr. Johnson to the office. He's our new teacher for beast language," Samuel said as he brought William into the school, thinking it was crucial to call in a heavyweight soon to handle the situation.
