"Right," Gwen agreed on a laugh, and then shook her head at herself. "I really shouldn't laugh, though. Every time I go to look something up, I find pumpkin seeds that we missed."

"It'll be Christmas soon, here's to hoping it'll be a less messy holiday." She'd never been superstitious, didn't particularly care for more dubiously authentic studies like Divination, yet she felt like she ought to knock on wood. The threat of Peeves and his talent for chaos could do that to a person.
"You have any holiday plans yet?" she asked, genuinely curious yet choosing her words with care. It was well enough known that Steve didn't have a family to go home to, but sometimes people forgot. Gwen imagined the holidays had to be especially hard, although he'd never shown it.
