Of course, Gabriel wasn't left alone with his thoughts for long.
The space surrounding him quickly began filling up, and he glanced lazily from face to face. It was amusing, actually. A Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, and Slytherin...
It was a great Hogwarts' representation.
Naturally, Adi and Puck had resolved to speak first. because they were both talkers, but Gabe simply stared at them in response; nodding somewhat for the
It was quite an event, wasn't it? bit. Simple acknowledgment. It had been a long day. He was tired. He just wanted to sit here. Mostly.....but that would've been rude, wouldn't it? He'd have seemed like he was ignoring them...but that wasn't the case.
"Hey."

SPOILER!!: Zhenya!

"Hi Gabe," she said quietly. "It was a great night. Better than the feast. I think I'd have been more... sad... if it were a feast. You know, with farewell speech... speeches." She sighed.
She really didn't want to leave, but she was sort of excited about the next chapter of her life. She just wasn't looking forward to living without the security of Hogwarts. At least she had know she got to return to the castle after summer. Summers had been about relaxing between years, but now... now she had to join the real world; find a job, have responsibility, find her own place in the world. It was a lot to think about.
...and Zhenya got a bit more...since he'd just interviewed her a few weeks before, and she'd been very understanding and patient with his awkwardness. Also, she wasn't being loud...or overly happy. It'd been a traumatizing few weeks. How could anyone be
happy? "...I think there's still going to be a speech. It wouldn't be the same...otherwise." He was being quiet, yes.
...and being cuddled. Who had sneak!cuddled him? Head lulling to the side, Gabe caught sight of Dot and presumed she was the culprit. That Dot...
She, in return, got a tired smile.
