Catching his eye, Carol's breath hitched a little at the torment behind the eyes of her coworker. Somehow, he seemed calm. But then again, he had never been loud or rash in her presence. But she tuned in just in time to hear him speak.

"Dunderhead seems like a strong w-,"
she started, peering at the paper before the sentence died on her tongue. "Potions was never my forte, but I'm sure Aconite was not known as lacewings. And is certainly not used in Polyjuice Potions." she muttered, shaking her head a little.

Sometimes, the trouble the students put Gabriel and the other professors through seemed a lot more than her own. Maybe because most of them needed anger management sessions, but that was beside the point. She'd never seen ridiculousness like this on an essay.

"Oh, me?"
she asked, surprised by his abrupt question. "No, not really. I have far too much time on my hands during the day."

And that time was certainly not used to sleep. There was a reason she seldom attended breakfast.


Gabriel observed her a bit. Which he rarely does except to his students. He chuckled after hearing what she said. Gabriel knew that Carol quite excelled in this particular subject. He was lost in his thoughts but then was snapped back to reality when he heard her answer his question.

"Then perhaps, will you accompany me? I was rather getting fond of Chaz's garden and getting sick of keeping myself to the dungeon while grading sixth years' essay." proposed Gabriel as he stood up and offered his hand to Carol
