Potions. How did Gabriel feel about potions?

Well, it was a factual subject that required exact measurements and careful note-taking. As a practice, Gabe enjoyed how precise it had to be. If he were at home (with his tutor), it would've been nothing for him to take the lesson notes and lock himself away to create whatever potion was in question on that day.

However...

Gabriel wasn't at home...and no matter how blue the walls were, or how comfortable the seats happened to be, he felt claustrophobic in the dungeons....and no matter how you dressed it up, they WERE still dungeons; and typically bad according to history. People DIED in them...

Breathing. He just needed to remember to breathe...and focus on the professor...like he had with Astronomy. Luckily, it wasn't a girl...Gabriel couldn't handle notes, doing well, focus, AND a girl teacher...Or, maybe he could...if they kept their distance..

Also, he sat somewhere in the middle...because back tables were full.
