It was taking every bit of resolve he had not to turn the opposite direction and run away when he saw Miss Umbridge, but that would be unprofessional and not to mention, cowardly. Though the girl already thought he was a horrible head of house, if their last conversation was any indication, so he didn't see how leaving could possibly make her any worse of him than she already did. He heaved a silent sigh. It seemed no matter what he did, this girl would only see the worst in him and it hurt. But he knew there was noting to be done about it.

For some reason he didn't understand, Gaston decided to try one more time to be kind to the girl. "Hello, Miss Umbridge," he said with a polite nod, though he wasn't quite able to manage a smile. Surely, surely he wouldn't get another tongue lashing for just greeting her, right? He couldn't be sure; it seemed like he found a way to set her off.

"Please call me Dora. The formality of it all is exhausting, Professor Marchand," she said softly. Like she had already chewed him up and spit him out, metaphorically, he could certainly call her Dora now, yes?

And the girl didn't think he was HORRIBLE, per se. Just that he had a lot of room to improve and he didn't seem to want anyone's help with the matter... even people that had more experience at being Gryffindors than he. But that was his choice and she had other, more pressing matters to lose sleep over currently.

A huge yawn left the girl now. The kind that caused the eyes to water and a hand to cover the mouth. For what felt like forever. "Yawns are caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain," she said sleepily before she started to blink the yawn tears away and scan the titles nearby.
