It was a good job his co-Prefect had agreed...because these books were heavy!...and Gabe wasn't some muscular guy. He'd struggled getting them this far...

Offering a small smile after doing so, he sat and pulled the first text off the stack; immediately flipping through it's aged pages. He was almost businesslike in the way he did this. BUT good thing about being distracted by the potions books...his words weren't jumbled and broken when he responded to his new companion. "I'm looking for a potion that I want to create this term.....but it's extremely difficult....and because it's THAT difficult, it means it'll probably be impossible to find."...and if Gabe could be honest, he was unsure about asking for a pass to peruse the Restricted Section after last term.

He didn't like the idea of evil books...Even though, they did exist. Gabe was aware, thank you very much.

Unsneakily sparing a glance at Caleb's book, he scrunched his nose for a moment. History of Magic prep. He puzzled over offering help...but didn't know if that was good?...or not. Some people didn't appreciate being offered help...as they thought you were picking on them or calling them stupid.
