Her next lesson was Magical History, and Gabe has heard others complain about the teacher and how dull he is '...Can't be as bad as Tony talking about maths…' she thought as she walked into class. "GABE!" a boy shouted at her, making her look up and saw Neville waving at her. The rainbow-haired girl smiled and dashed over to him, taking her seat next to him,"I was wondering if I would have a class with you." The messy haired boy said,
"Yeah me too, my timetable is a bit crazy, it's like the headmaster doesn't know what to do with me." She sighed.
"Well, I can tell you for sure that your next lesson is with Mion." Gabe nodded as she put her books on the table. "I'm not looking forward to this lesson though. I've heard that Professor Binns is boring enough to send Dragon's to sleep.''
"Oh joy, one of my uncles loves science and Maths, but I zone out when he talks about 8 base maths and things." She mumbled well Baby placed his head on Gabe's lap and sighed as she ran her fingers through his fur.
It was enough to send him to sleep until Binns walked in and started to talk about Silverfang, making Gabrielle sat up and looked at the ghost as he floated around the class room, but he only told her what she already knew, a part from there was rumour that said Henrik Silverfang's skin was blue, making Gabe looked up at the old professor, her eyes wide as he spoke about that fact and the fact that many believed he could turn water into ice by the touch of his finger tips as well, making Gabe think that maybe Henrik Silverfang was a Frost Giant or half of one at least. Then Binns waved his hand and books appeared on their desk, opening up to a drawing of Henrik Sliverfang, or rather an eyewitness who saw the man turn blue "Oh skit." She swears as her suspicions were confirmed. She then looked down at Baby as she thought '…I wonder if mum knows anything about this Silverfang…'.
Her mind was lost as she moves to the next lesson, thinking about the Frost Giant that could have been the founder of the 5th house of Hogwarts. "Gabe, are you alright?" Neville asked as they stood out in the hallway, making her snap out of her thought and turn to Neville.
"Oh, I'm okay, just a lot to think about." She said with a nervous smile
"Oh what a relief, cause I only asked because your hair has gone black," Neville said, making Gabe look down at her hair and sighed before shaking her head, turning it back into a rainbow mane.
"It happens when I'm lost in thought." She tells him "I better get going for Potions, don't want to be late for that one."
"No, not with professor S-Snape." He mumbled a little scared, "Well, see you at lunch." Gabe nodded and watched him leave. She sighed and rubbed her eyes well heading towards the dungeons.
Walking into potions class, she met up with Hermione and took a seat with Baby following her and curling up under the table. "How was your day so far?" Hermione asked.
"Okay, it just reminds me that I need to write home." She smiled and then spotted the blonde moving to sit behind her. "Oh joy," Gabe mumbled,
"What?"
"The blonde brat is sitting behind us." She grumbles, then the door open with a bang and a dark-haired man walks in.
"There will be no foolish wand-waving or silly incantations in this class. As such, I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science of potion making. However, for those of you who possess the pre-disposition, I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses; I can tell you how to brew glory , bottle up fame, and even put a stopper in death. Then again, maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession of abilities so formidable that you feel comfortable enough to not pay attention..." He stops and looked at the two girls sitting at the front of the class, taking notes. He raised an eye brown well looking at them well they looked at him. "This isn't the part of the lesson you take notes on girls. I should take points from you for not listening."
"But sir…" Hermione started but was stopped when Snape put his hand up.
"However, if you can answer these questions for me, then we shall see. What colour is Shrinking Solution when brewed correctly? Miss Granger?"
"Acid Green sir."
"Correct." He turns to the green-eyed girl "Miss Banner, Which is the odd one out? Monkshood, Aconite, Wolfsbane, Wormwood."
"Wormwood." She told him
"Why is it the odd one out?"
"You wouldn't use Wormwood to make wolfbane." She told him. He nods at her and turns back to the board and taps it with his wand, recipes appeared on the blackboard.
"5 points each to Silverfang and Ravenclaw," he said.
''The lesson on the board for today is ''the cure for Boils''. No talking unless it's about the potion, you have until the end of the lesson to make this and bottle it up and place it on my desk, now begin'' he told them and then turned a large egg timer on his desk. Hermione and Gabe spilt up: one gets the dry ingredients while the other gets the wet ones, but Gabe was worried about Baby getting some of his fur into the potion while they were brewing, so she put up an invisible barrier around the cauldron, making sure only she could put the ingredients in.
While in the middle of their brewing, Draco looked up to watch them work together, so he figured that this would be the best time to get them both into trouble with his head of the house. He picked up the Shrake's spine and threw it, trying to aim for the girl's potion, but instead, it bounced off something and landed back into the blonde's potion. Gabrielle turned around and frowned at Draco just as the blonde panicked when he saw his potion start bubbling furiously and then, it popped loudly, catching Draco and his friend, and worst of all Snape, in a gooey mess. "Mr Malfoy, what do you think you are doing!" The potion master growled.
"B-But I-I… No sir it wasn't me, it was them! They've done it" He said well pointing to Hermione and Gabrielle, making Snape look to the girls who shrugged.
"I don't know what he is talking about sir?" Gabe said
"Why would we do anything to your potions?" Hermione asked as she bottled it up. Snape turned back to Malfoy with a scowl
"You have lost your house 10 points," Snape told the blond in deep disappointment before looking back at the girls. "Another 5 points to you both," he said.
It was lunchtime afterwords and Gabe couldn't wait, she was starving. As they ate, they told Neville what happens in potions class and it caused all three of them to laugh "It's going to take him months to get rid of that goo from his hair." Hermione giggled as she took a bit from her Meat Pie.
"Baby stops that!" Gabrielle called out when she spotted the wolf trying to steal food from another table. While they continue eating, the rainbow-haired girl helped Neville with his transfiguration exercise: turning water into rum without blowing it up.
That is, until Malfoy came into the hall, no longer covered in the boils cure except for his hair, which looks like someone tried to dye his hair Purple by dupping the jar of dy on his head and letting it dry on its own. He matches over to the Silverfang table, his hands balled up into fists. "You did something to my potion!" He yelled at her.
"What do you mean?We didn't even touch your cauldron." Gabe told him as she tilted her head a little and blinked at him with her innocent face.
"Don't act cute, you did this to me and I want you to confess!" He snarled
"I'm not, and we did no such thing, the way I see it, your the one that threw something at our cauldron and it so happens to have missed, lucky for us right, and it bounced back into yours." she explained, but Draco looked like he was about to blow steam out of his ears "Or could it have been that you just didn't pay attention to what was asked of you and you tried to impress the teacher by doing something you shouldn't have?" She said softly "If I were you Draco, I would worry about your school work and not about yourself all the time, now if you don't mind, I am trying to help my friend with his homework." she finished, but Draco was not done,
"Just because you're a Princess, you think you can…"
"I'm not throwing my weight around, unlike some snakes I know. Just because your name is linked with dark magic and your father works at the ministry, doesn't mean you can act like…" Baby burped before Gabe could say anything "Like that." She points.
Just then, the owls started to hoot for the afternoon spots and Gabe turned away from him to feed Baby some food. Draco turned red in the face and turned around, walking over to his table to plot his revenge on the girl. She then sighed, worrying what else could happen today and thinking she got the rest of this year to worry about. The owls dropped the letters and Gabrielle smiled as she held two letters she got. One from her parents and one from Peter, she bit her bottom lip as he thought of Peter '…I really need to write home…' she told herself.
She looked up when she saw Neville was reading a newspaper and saw something of interest, "Can I have the front cover please?" She asked, Neville, nodded and held the paper out to her. Gabe flatted it out and started to read through it: there was a robbery at a place called Gringotts, from what she heard it was the only bank in all of wizarding England. As she read through the article, she thought it was odd that nothing has been taken from any of the vaults.… 'why break into a bank and not take anything….' She thought to herself before continuing reading, 'The Goblins were baffled about the break-in, wondering how it was achieved and why only vault number 713 was broken in, since it was emptied the same day.' Gabrielle was intrigued by this Wizarding Bank as she hasn't set foot in that place and has never even heard of it '.… I wonder if mum and Dad will let me open an account, or maybe Remus? I'm sure Tony would put a small donation in it hehehehe... but all that must but put on hold for later.' she thought
"Gabe, come on lunch is over and we have other classes to attend," Hermione said to her well getting up and starts leaving,
"Oh right, I'm coming'' she said back before getting up and leaving herself with Baby following behind.
