Smiling just a bit, a rare occurrence, Gabe nodded. The truth of the matter was that he didn't have a lot of people being nice to him...and Caleb was. So, here's to hoping he'd made a new friend?

Also, yes. The assumption about Ravenclaws being the smartest wasn't necessarily true...because Gabe had several subjects he personally needed help with. Of course, they were the more practical of the lot. Defense, Transfiguration, Care of Magical Creatures...Divination? He's barely scraped by on those particular OWLs due to the written portions..."I might take you up on that.....actually." It was okay to need help...Gabriel was realizing. Caleb earned another smile. "Are you any good at Defense?"

.....and about being Prefect...again..."Ravenclaws are more...assertive than I thought they'd be." Understatement. "......I assumed it'd be the Gryffindors that'd be hard to deal with..." Jeremiah was mild mannered, sure...but he was a lone Lion. The others were usually a rowdy bunch...from what he'd seen.
