And he was staring...at the cushion and post. Maddox cleared his throat. "Have a seat Mister Banner." He didn't have to stand there. They wouldn't be running out of chairs any time soon, guaranteed.
The Professor settled in his own chair and gave the boy another once over. "Protean Charm..." The boy had mentioned it being useful with Prefecting duties and he could hardly disagree considering they were in different common rooms and locations half the time. "We can go over that, yes. Did you have any items in mind?" To cast on he meant. Keep it uniform, it looked cooler that way. How tacky would it be if they all sported a different item for their communication. Disorganization. Not that he struck him as the disorganized type per say.

If he'd been caught staring, Gabriel didn't know...and he tried to play it off, accordingly. Not convincingly, mind...but the attempt was made, nonetheless. Just minding his own business...
...and...about the 'items' to be charmed...
"I want to try and...take it a step further."...because Gabe had done his homework here. He'd read about the charm in use; the coins from the Potter days and the theories about Voldemort's Dark Mark. Any changes to the original item would them be spread throughout the lot. It was a fascinating concept.
"From what I've read, the Protean charm's basic function is to link one item to another...and that got me thinking about the nature of the items that are linked. What...would be the limit here?" See, stuttering and fumbling words ceased to be a thing when he really got into the subject matter.
"Like a piece of parchment, for example. Would writing on the original piece translate the message throughout the lot?"
He'd forgotten to be shy, apparently.
