My father has all his ambitions focused on a grandson now. I'll be expected to marry and have children as soon as I leave school." She gave a brief, faintly bitter laugh. "He and mother have already started making a list of suitable matches."

"Oi!" she yelled at him. "Chuck us a potato!" She cupped her hands ready to catch.

Though how she was going to catch mashed potatos, she didnt know.

Hmm. Best just try it and see.

"I'm Zoe" she explained with her hand on her chest, then she introduced the others at the table in turn, pointing them out one at a time "And that is Dylan, he's a nice guy, and this is, erm, oh gosh, I don't even know your name" Zoe realised turning to the Hufflepuff sat next to her.

"Im Lucille, by the way," she said.

It was disgusting and she never wanted to think about that again. She looked up at Evelyn and smiled, 'It was pretty funny.' In a sick way. Is Lawsguini still over there mingling with the enemy? She glanced over there, for about the millionth time, and of course he was still there.

As Destiny gawked at that table, she noticed someone familiar, Kylie! She hasn't seen her since the end of term feast. Where has she been? She was torn. She didn't want to go over in enemy territory, but she didn't want to stay and hear about the lose of house points any longer. And she was afraid that Evelyn and Josh would start feeding each other. She wouldn't be able to bare that, so she was decided, enemy territory. Plus maybe she could have a chance at teasing Lawson. 'I'm gonna go get Kylie! She's over there.' Kylie better come, since Destiny was being all rebellious at the moment.

"Sorry about that" Zoe said pointing at her mouth "Its a pleasure to meet you Violet" she said shaking the young girls hand. "Did you have a nice summer break? What are you looking forward to this term?" Zoe was very inquisitive and loved hearing what people had to say about themselves.

"Have you had the pleasure of meeting Professor Happy yet?" she said pointing at Professor Duskurk. Zoe couldn't even bring herself to look at him as she pointed.

She had yet to see this girl in Diagon Alley, the train, OR here at the opening feast. Was she coming back at all? Waaaait..."You thought what?" she asked, turning back to facing Josh with a perplexed expression.

Whatever. Shaking her head, she listened to all the commotion going on about the Professor, and he just took points. Seriously. This was like the worst feast ever. Now they were down a point, and just...ugh! "A lower class knight? They are out of their minds." Pfft, Josh should've been the king or something. "And this guy, is one of our new Professors. Don't get on his bad side." Although at the moment, she was having this little evil thought that maaaybeee if...no no. She didn't want Josh to lose any of his house points...Even if it was Gryffindor and would make her slightly happy.

Zoe smiled "That shouldn't be to hard Violet, all you have to do to get on his nerves is talk to him" Zoe said sarcastically.
"I could tell he didn't like me straight away to be honest" and before Zoe continued to eat her food she stopped "Do yourself a favour and try and stay away from that professor Violet, he isn't very nice and he seems to think he is some kind of prophet, the way he swaggers around" Zoe explained throwing her shoulders around in a vein attempt to mimic Professor DusKurks strut.

She saw her parents do that once...when she was spying roaming around their home. *shudder* "Don't let it come to you again than. Or at least don't tell me whenever you think of this stuff." Yeeesss, best not to tell anyone that!

What? Get Kylie?! WHERE!? She practically choked on her own spit when she took a breathe too quickly. Coughing a little, she looked around the Hufflepuff table, but did not see the girl anywhere. Was Destiny messing with her?

Oh, there she was. Evelyn laughed, watching Kylie sit down next to them and at what Destiny said. Technically, they haven't moved from sitting the entire time to go look for Kylie, but they did think of where she might've been in their minds. Or at least she did that. "Good, good." she smiled, though it disappeared when she asked about their summers. Scoffing, she pulled her plate closer to herself again, and poked at the remaining food. Her summer was torture.

"My name is Severia Gaunt. I'm a first year, but you probably already knew that. I believe I missed your name earlier. What was it again?"

Chaucer almost forgot how to speak when he saw how the professor had dispatched his beloved house of points while the meal hadn't even finished. The lad wasn't quite sure what points were, but he suspected it was all part of an elaborate plot to keep individual students in line. Three points and you repeat a grade - yes, that seemed reasonable. It was just like a demerit! Still, the man was quite intimidating and reminded Chaucer very much of serveral literary villains he encountered in his youth. I hope I never have to engage in conversation with that sir - no sir!

Ah, but Tobias of the Blue Rose spoke again. At this point, the boy could have said any number of wretched things and Chaucer would have listened fondly. "Potatoes? Yes, if you think they're delicious then I shall indulge myself." It had been years since he last ate a potato; he made a resolution to never go near the stuff when he learned in history that it was the last resort for even paupers, but then, lobster was once considered a throwaway dish as well... he reasoned. As he scooped the mash onto his plate, he contemplated ways in which to make the dish more vogue. This he fixed by applying some garnish on top comprised of miscellaneous bits he thought pretty around the table.

Wait, Tobias was still speaking? Right on, old boy you didn't even introduce yourself! Chaucer fiddled once more with his tie before presenting himself: "I am Chaucer Ipswich, fourth year, son of Nathan and Eleanor Ipswich and grandson to Abiatha Manorholt the Fourth!" He wasn't sure what his grandfather was known for, but his name sounded impressive enough to through about in public. "My academy was based out of Maulking Fen, a nice little wizarding community north of here. Nice as in dull, boy - never convince yourself otherwise. And the other students? I wonder. Perhaps they are being home-schooled or sent to other private insititutions. Personally, I think schooling is wasted on the lot. They might as well just go off and learn strictly about whichever business they plan to inherit, that's what I say."

But where would he find a potato in this place? A banquet was no place for an unprepared -... it couldn't be this messenger from beyond, this mysterious muse, wants me to toss some of the mash? Now that is a 'devil on the shoulder' idea if I ever heard one. Not quite convinced of his own inner ramblings, Chaucer's grey eyes continued to dart about the table. It was almost a pity that the voice was not disembodied - it would have made for an excellent journal entry.

"Are you daft woman? How does one toss mashed potatoes? Why should I even toss a full potato? This is a banquet not a cafeteria in a poorly funded school!" He stared at the bunch of potatoes ahead of him, once again not entirely convinced that it somehow could be done with a certain finesse. Why handing the bowl down didn't occur to him was a mystery.
Instead, he put a bunch down on a clean napkin, which he then proceeded to tie as elegantly as he could. When he was satisfied, he called "Well, catch then!" and gave a light toss of the parcel.

People were so strange here.
