Alyssa came down for dinner. She had decided to come here when both the Common Room and the Girl's dorm "seemed out of bounds" because first Amethyst and Justin needed some time alone and then Minerva and Violet needed their own privacy too. So she figured here would be the best place where she could be and not invade anyone's privacy because this Hall was BIG and ALWAYS crowded and it would be hard for anyone to have any privacy in this place.

WRONG!! The moment she stepped into the hall and headed for the Hufflepuff Table, she noticed that somehow Minerva and Violet had somehow got there faster than her and were already at the table, talking to each other.

"Sigh!! I give up!!"Alyssa thought to herself. She looked around and found an empty seat right at the other end of the table. Whomever was sitting there didn't seem to be in quiet conversation with anybody, so there definitely wasn't any need for her to worry about invading anyone's privacy. Alyssa made her way down to the other end of the table.
