After Gary's first bite into the McChicken, he quickly calmed down. With another sip of his Coca-Cola, he was ready to respond to the woman who entered their compartment, sitting in front of him. The pretty woman who acted like a professor, though Gary had never even seen her. [i]She must be the new professor. Damn, how old is she? She looks pretty young.[/i]

That is, until his little brother put Gary's wand to his side, and quickly spoke out before Gary even had a chance to. "That's alright, miss. He knows what he did was wrong." Vincent smiled and nodded.

Gary took another sigh, picked up his Krasue-entrail-core wand, and put on a smile as he started his reply. [i]She's pretty hot too.[/i] He had just noticed. He nodded as he himself knew he didn't make the best of choices. "I apologize. Next time, I'll definitely think about my actions."

After all, Gary hadn't been the best student for the last few years. His grades seemed to plummet in his fourth and fifth years. It was only in his sixth year that he had been more encouraged and motivated by a certain staff member - someone who showed interest in him, his potential, and brought him back to where he needed to be. Of course, the unpleasantries of going to school has lingered since his fourth year incidents. Another year of going to school, even if it was going to be his last, brought him fear and anxiety, and loads of low self-esteem.

"So, you're the new potions professor, then?" Gary assumed the conversation about punching the muggle was over, and if it wasn't, he sure hoped so as he changed the subject. He had also heard that the old potions professor planned to retire over the summer.
