Gryffindor House Table
 

Large quantities of food are spread before you. Whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the Hogwarts' house elves are the best in the world. The food is superb and the company is as well.

The house poem, penned by All4oliverwood:

Get up off of your seats
Ready for some fun?
You ain't seen nothin' yet
For this years just begun
Friends are rollin' in
It's faces old and new
Nothing comes between us
Dear Gryffindors be true
Outside of the castle
Ready for things to fly
Lions are soaring strong
In a game that's do or die
On this autumn night
Near the crimson fireplace
Solid friendships forming
People so full of grace
Rockin' the competition
In a race for the house cup
Doing everything we can
Earning points to keep us up
Reeling for a win
Us Lions gettin' it done
Loyality guiding us through
Everyone working as one

Lilly walked in starved she hadn't eaten since the night before. (she overslept breakfast). she saw her favorite food in the world sitting there. MASHED POTATOES! she got a huge plate of them and sat down and started to eat. she felt a little lonely because noone was there yet but she didn't mind. she just ate away

Alycya walked into the Great Hall, her eyes firmly fixed on novel in her hand. Her very well-read copy of Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen, flopped open as she placed it on the table, keeping her page perfectly. Reaching for some food, she piled her plate, then began eating, her eyes still on her book. As she turned the page, she looked up, noticing for the first time another girl sitting there. She looked rather young. First or second year she guessed.
She smiled at the girl. "Hey," she murmured.

"hello." lilly said looking up from her mashed potatoes "i didn't see you there sorry. my name is Lilly. im a first year. what's your name?" she questioned as she returned back to her mashed potatoes she loved them so.

Brant sat down at the table and instantly grabbed some food and started to pile his plate up.

James walked to the table, finding Brant. "Hey, you look much happier now. Just remember, chew." James sat down and grabbed some food and started eating happily.

" if the food gets in my stomach faster then meh." Brant laughed. "so whats up, see any good looking girls yet around hogwarts or what?" Hitting James on the shoulder.

"Well, I'm a fourth year, so yeah. I dated one since my first to my third year, yet she dumped me, we got back together, and then I dumped her. There are some out there, you intrested in any?" James looked over at Brant. He seemed to be just enjoying eating a little too much. He took a drink of pumpkin juice.

"Yeah theres this girl named Sarah I met her in Diagon Alley, but she's in Hufflepuff. But I think im going to ask her out." Brant said. "Im sorry about how your relationship ended/started/ended again." Patting him on the back.

"Happened for a reason, she was leaving Hogwarts for good. I hope it goes well with you. I'm trying to find this girl who I met at the start of the term feast and can't find her anywhere. I want to talk to her, but she might be avoiding me. Stella something..." James said, drinking more pumpkin juice.

"Why would she be ignoring you?" giving James a weird look. "I think your a cool dude, or did you do something to her?"

"No, nothing. Just seems weird. I'm inventor, you know. Just a fact you should know, that's pretty much the first thing people learn about me." James looked over at Brant. He started eating some bread.

Dem walked into the great hall and took a seat next to James. "Hey James." she smiled and began putting food onto her plate. She looked up at the boy she met in the common room. "You're Brant, right?"

Chris walked into the Great Hall walking straight for the Gryffindor table. But then he saw a Slytherin sitting be themselfs. Umm that was strange but as he got closer he noticed who it was. Lena? He quietly behind. "Whatcha doing sitting here by yourself?" He asked whipsering into her ear.

"Hey, Dem. How's everything?" James looked up from his plate.

Helena jumped slightly at Chris's sudden words and turned to face him slowly, her eyes turning blue and a smile beginning to form on her pale features. To be honest? Looking for you, she said, quite unabashed as she wrung out the last water from her still fairly-wet hair as she smiled up at him.

seeing that the girl was not going to respond soon she dicided to go down the table and talk to demitria. she had been nice to her earlier. she walked over and said "hey Dem! how are you?" then she noticed the other boys there and said "hi I'm Lilly, first year." then she stuck out her hand to shake theirs.

Chris watched as Lena jumped, he chuckled. "Hey sorry about that didn't mean to scary you." He told her and smiled. Then he sat down next to her. "Umm you were looking for me? Why? But it was a good place to look considering there's food here." He said to her. Then he noticed she was wet. "Why are you so wet?" He asked looking at her wet robes and hair.

Chris raised an eyebrow. "Oh alright. Just wonder cause I don't really think people look for me to much." He said and chuckled. "Wait your common room was fully of water?" He asked. "Now that's not weird." He said using a lot of sarcasm. "Yeah I could even begin to think how that could have happened." He said shaking his head slightly.

Chris listened. A leak umm? "Well yeah I guess it could have been a leak." He said shrugging. "But I the water in the lake isn't dirty like disgustingly diry. Umm I wonder what's going on." He said.

Chris looked at Lena. She sort of looked-just for a plit second-like she didn't want him there. Or maybe she didn't want to be there. But she was the one looking for him right. It's not like he hadn't missed talking to her, but still. "I'm sure you will. Everybody is probably trying to figure out how and why this happened and trying to stop it from happening again." He said then he saw Lena smile again. Ok so maybe nothing was wrong. He smiled back to her.
