Apparently....
Gabriel was having ZERO luck in the library today.
After his encounter with Dot...the terrifying little girl who was rather bossy in spite of her small stature, he'd made for the stained glass windows, thinking that...
FOR SURE...no one would be there. Of course, this was further proof that Gabe didn't know anything about Hogwarts, yet. There was ALWAYS someone SOMEPLACE that you didn't want to deal with. Not that Clara was that awful....
"The Most Awful" title went to that Zahra girl...hands down...but....uh, she was...uh...
Uhhhhhhhh. A girl. That's what she was.
....and she was sitting right there reading and he was positive she'd seen him. OR...maybe she hadn't. Thinking it best to act casual, he quickly grabbed the nearest book and opened it, burying his face within the pages. Unfortunately, it started screaming....and it was either slam it shut....or rendered deaf.
UGH.
ANOTHER BOOK. QUICKLY....Uh, Gabe went for another and luckily, it didn't do anything crazy when he opened it. NOPE. TOTALLY INCONSPICUOUS, thank you very much...
With his face buried in the book, he inched back towards the front desk. He could try this library thing again....some other...time, maybe.
