Why am I eating next to you?

[Daryl Webster]

Daryl gave himself a small frown as he sat next to a young girl. He had initially had no intention of sitting at the Ravenclaw table - besides, he was a Hufflepuff. But his friends had let him down, and were gathered at one end of the table with no space for an extra small person. So, Daryl placed himself next to the Ravenclaw. There was no doubt about whether he was hungry, and he tucked into the feast with relish, though still remembering his manners. At first, he did not even turn to look at the girl. He had barely remembered she was there until he was half way through a chicken drumstick. He didn't get food like this at home. There was barely enough for one. As Daryl started feeling full, he wiped his hands on a paper towel and finally looked at who he was sitting next to. She was younger than he had imagined, but he still gave her a smile. She was very pretty for her age, and Daryl expected she wouldn't even need to wear make-up to be pretty.

Daryl was surprised at his own thoughts. He had never felt this way towards girls, he had just counted them as another type of human being. He was starting to realise they weren't - and at 15, it was about time. He gave the girl a grin anyway, placing his paper towel back on his plate and sitting awkwardly.'Hi,' he said slightly nervously, knowing she would wonder why he was sitting at her table, and next to her. It must have been strange. But hopefully she wasn't going to be weirded out by him, and was going to reply!

 

[Lolli Lovre]

Lolli hadn't visited the Great Hall in a while, let alone sat at her house table. That day that she sat down, she smelled meat, and fruits, and everything that made a meal complete. She immediately delved into the fruits and vegetables, trying not to look at the meats that were placed all around. They made her slightly sick. She had already completed her History of Magics lesson, and was still in debate over whether she should do the essay they had assigned to them. She could use the points, but she really didn't find any interest in the subject. AS her thoughts went on, she didn't even notice the taller boy sit next to her. When she finally smelled the chicken, she looked over at him and smiled slightly, but he didn't seem to notice. She went back to her vegetables, and ignored everyone else, until the boy said 'Hi'.

Lolli's bright blue eyes turned to him, and she smiled slightly. "Hi." She commented. She looked at him. She saw the crest on his outfit, he was a hufflepuff. "Aren't you at the wrong table?" She asked in genuine curiosity.

 

[Daryl Webster]

Daryl looked down at his robe when the girl spoke, and then back at her. 'Oh yeah, I am.' He said cheekily, grinning. 'Felt like a change,' he added, popping a grape into his mouth. The truth was that he didn't enjoy sitting next to anybody at his own table. He knew he had some studying to do, and should probably leave to do it now, but something kept him at the table. 'So,' he said, swallowing his grape. 'Let me guess... Second year?' His eyebrows raised, but only in a friendly way, not a cocky way. She looked like a second year, but Daryl wasn't entirely sure, hence why he guessed.
