His quill was ready, thankfully, so he quickly wrote a note for Leo to let Gabe to the Restricted Section.
"I didn't write down a specific book, but just that you have my permission to get potions books," he said, signed and folded it neatly. "There you go. Anything else? How was your summer?" Or was he in a hurry to start brewing?

Really?
Exhaling deeply, though Gabe hadn't realized he'd been holding his breath, he flushed a brighter shade of pink. He had reservations about the Restricted Section...of course. Mainly because of that Fairy Tale book from last term...BUT he planned to be extra careful. If he smelled anything delicious...or heard singing....saw ANYTHING odd, Gabriel would be prepared to run. There was no shame in wanting to live.
.......
but.....
If a book decided to...carry him off or suck him up...hopefully people would notice him missing and alert someone. Or let his sister know...At least.
And about this summer....
"Jeremiah and I both chose days to take the potion...Liquid luck. It worked...which made us...proud and...happy." Flush. Lots of flushing.
Moving on. "...But about halfway through the trip, I had to start taking....a simple dreamless sleep potion." Gabe was too embarrassed to go into the sort of dreams he was having...but they were...Well....dreamless sleep was the
only option. Which...reminded him.......
"I wanted to ask you...if there was some way to combine the effects of my calming draught with the effects of the dreamless sleep...So, I would only have to take one potion."
