Well, this was different.

The announcement had had Gabriel from the word 'map'...and it was new to Hogwarts as a club, yes? Nothing like it had been attempted in all the years of it's existence...that he'd read. Naturally, Gabe had done his homework, as he liked to do.

It was sure to have quite a turnout...with newness being a factor. Of course, not many people had arrived yet but it was early, still. In his robes pockets, empty potion vials clinked together, but Gabe didn't mind for people to know they were there. If they were going to traipse around the castle, it was a safe bet he'd find some potions ingredients. A stray bug...or plant...random hairs...

It was better to be prepared, you see.

Taking a random cushion. he peered around at people. People watching ftw.
