Gabriel had taken a moment with his nametag...before sticking it to his robes. And this was simply because he was trying to build himself up to this lesson with a woman professor. Yes, he'd been doing better with this as a 'thing'...but there was still the case of this particular professor being NEW, too.

Gabriel Banner, "Gabe", Ravenclaw Sixth Year
He busied himself with his notebook next; getting it ready for vigorous note taking. When in doubt, focus on the notes and writing and pretend that was why you couldn't do much talking. It always worked.
There. Now that THAT was all caught up...
Gabe considered the most recently asked question and had written out a comprehensive list...Of course, most everyone had said something about the mail that he'd written down. He smiled just a little bit to himself...JUST A LITTLE. Not a lot. Gabe didn't smile, typically.
"Uh.....Well *some throat clearing*, different countries have different holidays...Much like...the States and...England, for example. There...are different days the...mail can't...run because establishments are...closed."
Nailed it.
