 Granddaddy Ravenclaw | | Jermione Granger
Silas tried to stifle a yawn and ended up inhaling some rice instead. As he coughed, he thumped his chest with his hand a few times. Accepting the goblet, he raised it and nodded, unable to speak, to indicate that he was also toasting to them.
Swigging the wine hurriedly, Silas tried to clear the one piece of rice still tickling the back of his throat. Once it was clear, he sighed. "That's better." Looking over at Dora, he looked a little embarrassed. First night together and he'd nearly choked on dinner. "To us," he said sheepishly.
Sitting and eating at a more human pace, Silas turned the discussion to food. "I'm mostly self-taught but I did take a class once."
And there was that yawn coming again. Silas made sure to swallow all the food before it happened. "MMm. Sorry. Long day."
