As soon as Gabriel took a seat at the Slytherin table, he knew exactly how this would end up going. It didn't take him longer than two seconds to establish his first target.

But first there was food. And more importantly, desserts.

He was mostly ignored during the meal itself, his fellow Americans too scared to get close to him, the Hogwarts students talking among themselves. He'd just started his third Cauldron Cake (he was really digging those) when someone finally did address him.

You could say he was pretty surprised when a boy with short, dark hair and a round face turned towards him and started talking out of nowhere. "You're one of Shurley's children, right?" he asked in a thick British accent.

What was he supposed to do, lie? "Yes," he answered, pulling up an eyebrow. "Why?"

"I'm Crowley," the guy introduced himself with a smug smile. "I'm Slytherin's Head Boy and I wanted to welcome you to our House."

Well, he hadn't exactly welcomed any of the other Ilvermorny students. Great. Some kid that wanted to be his friend because he was a Shurley. Why was he not even surprised. Gabriel immediately moved the arrogant-looking, well-built boy that was gonna be his number one victim to second place and decided on this Crowley dude instead. "Good for you, bucko." And he turned back to his food.

"So if you ever need anything," Crowley continued, "I'd be happy to do you a favor of course."

Favors... suuuure... "Thanks for the offer but I think I'll pass."

"Well, if you ever change your mind..." the other boy went on.

Okay, he'd been here how long and people were already getting on his nerves? He was gonna have to show what he was capable of fast. He turned over to Crowley, smiled and made sure there was no mistaking what he was gonna say. "Okay, pal, I don't do friends and I certainly don't do favors. So if you could please just hand me those sugar-coated strawberries and kindly fuck off, that'd be great."

The guy looked satisfactorily taken aback by that and quietly passed him the bowl of strawberries. Unfortunately, that wasn't gonna do for Gabriel.

At the exact moment their hands both touched the bowl, he mumbled two simple words and snapped his other hand's fingers. And then Crowley was suddenly naked.

It was truly hilarious to see the boy's eyes turn big in shock, the other kids burst out in laughter and poor Crowley himself start to scream, as the Englishmen would say, 'bloody' murder. In fact, Gabriel was having the time of his life, popping a strawberry into his mouth. Hmm, perfect, he thought to himself. Heavenly sweet. Just like karma.

When the guy desperately started yelling reversal spells, all in vain of course, Gabriel started to feel the tiniest bit bad for him. "Don't bother, buddy," he sighed. "That won't work. It's all homemade, so only I know how to reverse it."
