Amelia had been trying her hardest to be very ladylike at the table. Perhaps it was an age thing, or maybe it was the fancy robes, but she actually felt as though she was doing quite well. She grinned over to the house elves as they appeared with their courses. The seventh year actually was pleased with this lesson because due to the changes in the great hall at her house table, she hadn't had much an appetite since arriving. Finally, some decent seating and food in her empty stomach!

Carefully spooning the soup as she was directed, she was actually more starved than she thought she would be. There was a soft Clink! made as her soon reached the bottom of the bowl. Oops! That's what she got for trying to get the last drop. Blushing, she laid her spoon carefully on the under dish and waited gleefully for the next course. At least they were getting fed; perhaps if there was quidditch this term she could persuade the Headmistress to do this again right before her first match...

Salad! Ooh yummy vegetable-y goodness! She rubbed her hands together but then stopped herself and placed her hands back on her lap. Ladies don't do that, she reminded herself sharply. After a few deep breaths to recollect herself, she picked up her salad fork, making sure to go from the outside and began to eat. Once that was finished, or close to it, as she realized it was rude to eat everything on the plate. One should always leave a small amount; at least that's what she was told. She then set her fork gracefully on the plate and waited for the main entree.

Duck!? Interesting... the seventh year never had duck before but the word 'orange' made it certainly more appetizing. Besides, her stomach was still telling her it was okay to eat more since it hadn't eaten a proper meal in a few weeks now. She grinned as Rae said, as fancy as they all look; ooh that made this lesson even more special that she almost forgot it was a class!

Hesitantly, she took a small bite of it for starters...
