Botros - King Triton, whatever - told someone to use a shell to brush his daughter's hair just then, and... Soph blinked. A shell? She squinted around, looking for something that might do the job, and... didn't see any shells that looked like they'd comb through hair well at all without hurting CB. So, instead, Soph summoned her bag over to her as she reached CB's side and shuffled through it, looking for her own hairbrush. When she pulled it out, she cast a quick, "Scourgify," on it - not because it was dirty or anything, quite the contrary, but she didn't want Botros to scold her for using something of her own - the filthy hairbrush of a "maiden" or something of the sort, she already anticipated him saying.

"Dunno," Soph replied to her best friend from behind the shell she was seated on, pulling CB's hair behind her shoulders and brushing through it casually like it was something they did every day. "M'guessing the same thing that was wrong with Flamsteed the other day?" Brush, brush. "I can't help but wonder if it's my fault, though - and Tobes, too," she spoke in a hushed voice, wanting only CB to hear her. "What if when we went to Disney World this past summer, we brought back... some... kind of curse? That's made everyone into, like... Disney characters? I mean... in Flamsteed's class alone, we saw Hook, Peter Pan, Aladdin..." Were there others she was forgetting? "And remember when Head Girl Lex was all... evil and being Maleficent?" ALL Disney characters!

"And look," she gestured over to the Gryffindor boy, Benny, in their year and continued brushing. "That kid. He was talkin' 'bout un-birthdays and... and the Cheshire Cat. That's Alice in Wonderland. All Disney!" She was SO convinced she had caused this whole thing. "And now Botros is bein' the dad from The Little Mermaid. I mean... they say it's the most magical place on Earth..." What if they HAD picked up some sort of curse while they were there and brought it back to school with them?

It made sense, didn't it?

And...yea, the Sophie Brown girl, who'd gotten herself frozen in potions, had came to brush the hair.

This was a whole new level of strange. Gabe didn't understand. Why were all these lessons getting messed up. He was seriously losing his amusement at the cosplaying at this point...if that's what it really was. He was starting to outright question the sanity of his professors. Not something good or productive for a boy with his......anxiety issues.

Anyway, misinformation had drawn him out of hiding...because he knew something about the subject matter and Gabe couldn't help himself when correcting people. It was just....Well, a habit; a terrible one that he couldn't break....with it being subconscious and all. His voice dropped an octave or two.

"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was originally a novel written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson...or Lewis Carroll, if you go by pseudonym."...He peeked up....surveying the room....and clutching onto stuff to stay in place. ".....and all those other characters were originally written in other novels and plays."

Her theory was flawed...

...and no, Gabriel didn't realize he was being a jerk...if he was. He was just stating the facts. Facts centered him and helped with the stuttering, too. So, there was that.

"..........Isn't this....normal for this school? The...cosplaying and....?" Stuff? Stuff didn't adequately cover what he'd witnessed, thank you very much..."...and danger?" It was getting dangerous. Or perhaps, it'd always been dangerous. Gabriel didn't know.

After Soph had summoned and cleaned her brush- which CB thought odd, because she'd never really fussed over that sort of thing before.

Wiggling a little in her shell seat so that Soph could be in a better position to brush her hair, she managed to see Gabe hiding behind her shell. That brought a grin to her face. SEE? He had run toward her and not away from her and that only brought a round of butterflies to her stomach and a slight reddish tint to her cheeks.

Listening to Soph's story, Coral pulled away from her bestie's hair brushing in order to turn around and face her. She took her hand in both of her own and tugged lightly. "Soph.... it's not your fault. It can't be..." She squeezed, and tugged again, trying to pull her down into the seat and into her arms for a good squeeze of a hug. This couldn't be her fault. No way. Hogwarts was just..... weird.

And at Gabe's interjection, the girl flushed some more. "See? You couldn't have brought them if they're originally from other things... It must be some sort of funny coincidence." Okay? Not your fault. She wasn't going to let Soph blame herself, even if she maybe was a little suspicious.

Did the headmistress know?

Looking over at Gabe again as he'd spoke, Coral shook her head. "It wasn't like this last year..." She looked at Soph again. "It wasn't like this before I got here either..... at least I don't think so." Pretty positive, actually. "But it's always kind of dangerous..... We almost froze to death last year." Yeah. Fun time THAT was. Although cuddling in the dorm in the blanket fort with Rumba and Soph had been a pretty great start to their friendship. Poor little Rumba almost froze to death though.
