"Pudding, you say?" Benjy tilted his head thoughtfully. He strained to look over at the Hufflepuff table, only to find his view of the offerings on it was blocked. "Can't quibble at pudding. Nor...er, Seventh years." Though since he wasn't really close to any Hufflepuffs, or at least, he couldn't remember any he was meant to particularly care about, it was mainly about the pudding.
"If there's sticky toffee pudding, I'm totally in." Benjy grinned. "Though I wanna go to the Gryffie table at some point too." For non-pudding and non-Seventh year reasons.

She sat down somewhere near Mo and Sophie and everyone else. "Hey guys." She gave a small wrinkled smile to all of them and laid her arms on the table placing head down on top of them. She wanted to...she didn't know what she wanted. Maybe just to go home.
Hope got a grin as she approached, although it faded a little bit when he realized how poorly the little girl was looking. Merlin, Ravenclaw had been a house of little girls at the beginning of the term, and now it was a house of little old ladies.
It was depressing.
"Hey, Hope. Benjy and Ni and I were just going to..." Mo paused in the middle of explaining, again, about the pudding, although he was going to offer to bring something back for Gwen and Hope and their queen Lily, because he was fully distracted by the appearance of strangers dragging a bucket up to the head table.
"What's... going on up there, do you suppose? Bucket brigade? Giant squid ink attack?" And Mo might have looked at Ni then, 'cause GIANT SQUID INK ATTACK? That was brilliant.
