Professor Culloden had been right about the Calming Draught....because despite the emotional intensity in the Great Hall, Gabriel felt....somewhat okay.........which was a drastic improvement if one considered the Welcome Feast. Fainting under the weight of the sorting hat had NOT been his finest hour...Most embarrassing up until that moment, for sure....

He'd even brought his gift for Professor Flamsteed with him, hoping to catch the man before they were ushered out into those rickety carriages. After everything that had happened in the library, Gabe couldn't approach anyone...mainly because his face had been one gigantic bruise. Grayson and Ruby drama had somehow sucked him in....and things had happened...and people had gotten hurt...like himself.

His sister really knew how to pick them......

Anyway, Gabe was just ready to go back to Greece this summer, with Jeremiah, and test out what they'd worked so hard on this term. Though, it was hard to make any mental plans, considering how stupidly LOUD Eden McGee was. It made no logical sense to be THAT loud...They weren't fields apart...

Stink. Eye.
