Gabriel Duncan was the third youngest and third oldest in his family. He was a prankster and a trouble maker. He pulled pranks on his entire family, neighbors, and people at school. The school was always calling to his house and Mrs. Dabny, the neighbor, was always over there complaining about something. But, at the mere age of sixteen Gabe packed up and left. He told no one why he was leaving and he let no one stop him. No one knew where he went, no one could ever get a hold of him, and no one knew how long he would be gone. But after four years of waiting, this family was about to give up on him ever coming back, but they're about to be in for a big surprise.

During her 7th year at Hogwarts, Hermione is intrigued right from the start by the new Astronomy teacher, Professor John Smith. This strange man has captured all her attention and she seems to have done the same to him. As the year goes by, talking to someone on a more intellectual level becomes something of a drug for her. Letters from Ron become less frequent and conversation with John are more often. The student-teacher wall falls to allow a great friendship to form. But Hermione’s feelings are much more than that. She is falling for the wizard with the metal wand. But an affair isn’t the only thing happening is the castle. Strange things are happening to Hermione that even her great mind cannot explain.
