She said, showing Elizabeth her earrings and necklace, as well as her bracelet.

" Of course I knew I would find you easily. With or without your Quidditch man." She said, attempting to make things a bit less awkward. " Although, I have to say you being so dressed up would have made it a bit of a challenge." She teased Elizabeth lightly before looking over her shoulder into the Great Hall, which was when she heard Robert say something about food.

Mari pushed some hair back from her face and smiled."See? I knew we'd find something in common." Mari laughed. " I'm hungry as well. We should go eat." She said, stepping back a bit and motioning for them to follow her. " Then I can show you some pictures of Bella and Alex," She said, sounding very excited about that. " Since I haven't sent you any since they were born," She said with another small laugh.

"I bet he's here somewhere. We can find him eventually." He had to be thinking about Professor Vindictus. It was either that or some of their former teammates, but something told her it was Vindictus. Although she was curious if Willow was coming. That would just be interesting. And she watched him as he folowed her indication of her outfit, amused by how much he still seemed to be uncomfortable but was going along with her.

But then there was the distraction that was Mari. Not to mention how her excitement was now tempered by the fact it seemed things were still weird when it came to dealing with her best friend and her boyfriend. In the same place. She still hoped in time it would be less weird. And she couldn't not notice how quiet Robert was being, as she tried to keep the conversation going. "You're welcome," she said as Mari thanked her for returning the compliment about their attire. "You can never go wrong with simple," she added, before leaning forward a little to look at the jewelry. "Pretty."

She smiled again as Mari responded to her question, feeling like maybe tension might be easing up finally. "Well, you know I would have found you, at least. And I wasn't about to not dress up." Even if it was still strange-feeling to actually be dressed up. Too much time at home, where it really didn't matter what she wore. And then, as Robert had his arm wrapped around her, she laughed as he picked up on the food topic. And Mari responded. She glanced upward at him as he switched to holding her hand, before looking back at Mari. "Okay, I guess we better feed you both. Before we risk a disaster," she teased both of them, before starting to follow her best friend into the Great Hall.

Then another amused look crossed her face at Mari's continued conversation. "Bella?," she asked, finding a bit of humor in it all. Especially considering she'd heard about them before. "Can't say I have any pictures. Since I'm fairly certain you don't need to see my Bella. Or Macavity." Her pets were still doing amazing, though, considering they'd lived in like three different places in the last few years. She was fairly certain she was pretty settled now though. As they crossed into the hall, though, she glanced at Mari again. "I did get my book published, though." She didn't have that with her, however. But she also didn't remember if she'd told Mari it was getting published, or that she'd even been writing it.


Rob smirked and turned his attention back toward Mari and Liz. "Well I'm always hungry right Liz?" he slipped his fingers between hers and smiled. He felt odd being around so many people which was odd seeing as he played Quidditch and was always around a lot of people. Even then though he never felt comfortable unless Liz was beside him.

He followed Liz as she led them toward the entrance hall. He smiled as Liz started talking about her book and kept his eyes on the look out for Vindictus. He had to be around here somewhere.
