"You Gryffindors don't fool me," Gabe declared, waving a shoe at Pete for emphasis. "You're cruel, unusual, and fucking vicious." A trumpeting came from behind him, and he added, "Oh yeah," turning back to tap his wand against the frame of the big mirror, and turn it back into... a giant painted saucer. From the centre of a tangled rose pattern, a daintily painted elephant waved its trunk threateningly at him, but Gabe just shrugged. "Sorry," he offered. "If I see..." Blank moment. "Our Transfiguration professor, I'll send him over."
He turned his back on the enormous saucer and came back to nudge his hip against the big, hopping fairy. "Who is our Transfiguration professor again?" he asked, dropping his shit on a chair (but not his drink, hanging onto that). He's been shut up in the dungeons all week, ok? Give a guy a break.
