Gabriel had only taken a handful of trips to Hogsmeade before, namely during the time that the Triwizard Tournament had been held at Hogwarts, so the sense of nostalgia that had Tibs' already charming eyes glazed over with wonder was not nearly as strong with him. He did recall that the fish and chips here were a delight, however.

Slidding into the seat beside his husband, leaving the two across from them completely empty, Gabriel began fussing with his bag looking for something and failed to notice Tibs' waiting hand. "Me too, naturally," he grinned as he removed something from his bag and held it behind his back. It took him just a second to see the hand now, and his right hand was quickly placed upon it and fingers interlaced. "Now, don't get too fussy with me, but I got you a little somezing." He then brought his left hand forward to present his husband with a slightly tattered copy of Madcap Magic for Wacky Warlocks tied with a silky gold ribbon. "It's not Creatures or Herbology, but somezing to help you relax with a bit of fun. We need to loosen up zose shoulders of yours."

"I didn't even think to check," Tiberius shrugged. He supposed it should have occurred to him to at least owl ahead and ask the person they'd rented the cottage from. Romania had clearly sucked up all his brain space and left very little room for practical thinking.

So he wasn't planning on doing much this weekend.

Idly rubbing his thumb over Gabriel's, he turned, confused. "Fussy? What.. did you..."

His eyes rested on the book and he blinked a moment, taking it in his free hand. "...do?"Looking at it, then up at Gabe, then back down at it, he slipped his other hand free. "Gabe, it's.. I..." He broke into a wide grin and removed the bow. Flipping open the cover gingerly, his eyes scanned the pages. "This looks like such an early printing," he mused, smiling as he walked his fingers across the page.

Closing it, he set it on his lap. He reached up and put his hand on the back of Gabe's head. "Thank you," he said, before leaning in for a quick kiss. Pulling back, he let his hand fall on top of the book on his lap. "I love it. It's perfect." Tiberius had a brief moment of guilt that he didn't have anything for Gabriel, but it was fleeting. There wasn't really ever a sense of obligation when it came to gifts.

Even still. As he read through the chapter titles, smirking at how he might make use of some of the spells for a certain someone's birthday, he idly mused aloud. "If it's still here, I think the quill shop in town is lovely. We should get you some new sets, the way I'm sure you're working through quills and ink while I'm away."

Realizing that he could read at any time, he closed the book and turned his attention back to Gabe.

Picking it up with both hands, he handed it back to his husband. "Now put it back in your bag. I don't want to get anything on it!"
