His mouth watered and he took a big bite, chewing slowly.

"I am super hungry, I stayed up last night writing a long letter to my cousin." He replied once he had swallowed his mouthful. already he was beginning to feel a bit better. " I missed breakfast this morning because I slept in." He added, spearing more food onto his plate.

He glanced at Juniper as she chewed her apple. "How can you eat apples?" He asked curiously. He didn't like apples, they reminded him of that nursery rhyme his mother used to tell him at night. "Aren't you afraid a worm is going to crawl out?" He added watching the apple curiously.

If William had not helped himself to more food, there was no doubt that Juniper would have forced more food into his mouth. He missed breakfast?! Breakfast, a necessity that everyone needed every single day. And the poor boy had slept through it! It was no wonder that he was so hungry. A boy like William needed his breakfast. And lunch. And dinner. And many snacks in between.

Juniper nibbled her apple thoughtfully. "I don't think a worm would crawl out of an apple here," she said. "I expect the house elves make sure that all the apples are worm-free before they send them up here." And if a worm did crawl out, then Juniper would just have to carry her apple out to the grounds and set the worm free. No worm wanted to be stuck inside a castle and eaten accidentally by a student. No creature at all would want that.

Watching William eat, Juniper was pleased to see that he was not inhaling it as if the food would disappear if not eaten immediately. He was a smart boy and was eating slowly but steadily. Like the tortoise in the story of the tortoise and the hare.
