Ana was caught mid-sentence by Gabriel. If it had been anyone else, she would have most likely ignored them. She wasn't all work, but she didn't particularly like to put others before her studies. Still, it [i]was[/i] the start of the year, and she'd have all night to catch up on her reading. She could probably have half of the book covered before 10, so it wouldn't be such a bad thing to stop for quick chatter. It was Gabriel, too, and she could admit at least to herself that she had something of a soft spot for him. She didn't really understand why he was put in Slytherin, since in some ways they were so alike, but in others of course, he was definitely more a snake. Like in this instance, where she was sure he was plotting.

"Why?" Ana smirked, pulling the red ribbon bookmark down the middle of her page. "What are you up to? I sense a scheme."
