Work out with Lexi? Orlando avoided looking at Lexi at the mention of that. He wondered if she had seen Legend and him when they were working out - it would be pretty embarrassing for him to do the same things with Lexi. First thing was first, whenever he got too sweaty or well when they were jumping into the lake, he ended up taking his shirt off - Orlando wasn't quite sure if he would be able to do that when Lexi was around.

Umm. The embarrassed boy nodded vaguely. "Sure .. why not" he murmured, taking a gulp of pumpkin juice to avoid saying any more on the subject. He shook his head. "Noo. I haven't been sick at all .. have you?" he asked, concerned. Was she swimming in the lake too? Someone had to catch the cold.

And LEGEND CHOSEN, ladies and gentlemen.

"Hey Legend!!" he smiled and smiled moore seeing KT with him. "Heyy KT!" the boy greeted, taking another bite of his toast. "Ahh .. we do, we are working in the year book together" the boy informed the older Gryffindor, oblivious to Lexi's annoyance toward Legend.

His head turned when KT asked him about swimming. "OF COURSE, I am!" he grinned. "Legend dragged me out to be a man, apparently" Orlando grinned - picking up his goblet to drink more but that drink didn't quite reach into his stomach, it instead sort of went into his lungs when he choked, hearing Lexi's question.

Trying to regain his breathing, the boy coughed a little before shaking his head. Did she just ask him about girls? "Yeah .. taking lots of pictures and no .. no girls," he mumbled yet again. Can you out right ask someone those type of questions?

Lexi hadn't seen that girl at first... and she was crap for not knowing her name. EEEP. Wiping her bacon grease covered hands on the front of her robes she reached her hand out to the girl and nodded her head. "Lexi Denver. And you are?" SMILES FOR THE HUFFIE GIRL!

LOOKIT him! Hehehe. He was avoiding looking at her... HOW CUTE. "Are you embarrassed by something, Orlando?" she whispered at him. Hehe. CYUTE! GIIIIIGLES!

Nodding her head she pouted a little this time. "Yeah I was very ill for a while. I felt wretched. Dunno what it was." SHRUGS. Then she gave LEGEND a LOOK. Yes, she knew Orlando. GAH.

HAHAH. Lexi clapped Lando on the back as he seemed to choke half to death at the mere mention of GIRLS. DOUBLE CYUTE! "Oh I am so sorry! I didn't mean to make you swim in your pumpkin juice."

Well. Lexi Denver was the very definition of RUDE. Grabbing his knife, Legend cut his pancakes into pieces before stuffing a couple in his mouth. The sweet sticky mess that entered his mouth, tasted like heaven. "Vyu ounw." He took a few minutes to finish chewing before continuing on. "It wouldn't kill you to say hi. VERY Rude to ignore me. Don't think Donovan would like you ignoring her new personally chosen Prefect." Legend did NOT take being ignored well.

"Yearbook? Together? Poor you Lando." Legend smirked at this before stuffing another piece of pancake into his mouth. Katie was going to kill him if she found out about the lake thing.

Say NO Lando. NO. SAY NO ORLANDO! Legend tried to communicate with his eyes but it was too late. Orlando had already spoke. "Yeah. He needed to learn how to be a man like me." Legend nodded hoping that Katie wouldn't go and attack him right now while he was eating.

As Lexi asked Lando about any girls in his life Legend raised a brow. That was not HIS question to answer, but he REALLY couldn't stop himself from speaking. "Why you asking him? You got a crush on Mr.Renaldi?" That couldn't be. Legend could do much better! Plus Lexi was dating....someone. She dated a lot of people he wasn't sure anymore.

" Oh the normal food" Willam laughed." I have a lot of different things at the Villa because if mom and my older sisters cooking" William said to Rose. "Do you have a favorite food?" Wiliam asked Rose. William dug into his steak,eggs, bacon and hash browns.

Right. Lexi Denver. Well, she had gotten her name correct the first time atleast. "Kaitlynnh Mae. It's nice to meet you," Katie introduced herself politely, extending her hand across the table to shake Lexi's, the Little Mae was careful of knocking any bowls or glasses. Straightening in her seat, she took the syrup from where Legend had set it and poured a good amount onto her pancake, smoothing it around with her fork as she listened to the chatter from the boys and Lexi.

At Lando's enthusiastic response, Katie looked up from her syrup spreading to give him her full attention, although her smile slipped a little bit at his words, into an expression of slight surprise. "Legend Chosen!" Her fork left forgotten on her plate, the girl swatted him on the arm, not hard but enough to get his attention. "When he gets sick, I'm blaming you." Honestly! Legend should know better. They were both going to end up coming down with something, and then what? She didn't want to hear any complaining when it happened, nu-uh. "And then Borr." The last part was spoken under her breath, utterly serious. Maybe he was immune to below freezing water tempatures, but these Gryffindor boys weren't, and he didn't have to worry over them. That was her.

"Lando, swimming in the icy cold lake during winter does not make you a man." Katie added firmly, turning her dark eyes on the younger boy. Her hand found her fork again, cutting into the soft sugary bread on her plate. "I don't care what Legend tells you, he's wrong. You're both going to freeze to death one of these days." She shook her head, though a very slight smile played at the corners of her lips. It was a little bit amusing, the idea that swimming in the lake when the weather was preparing to snow, would make them men.

Plopping a peice of pancake into her mouth, Katie chewed while the subject of Lando and girls came up. She wasn't sure how or when it did get mentioned, but Legend was quick to jump right in. It was Lando's answer that had looking over and giving him a little smile, and if she had been sitting beside him it was likely she would have reached up and pinched his cheeks. "No girls? Have you forgotten so easily that I am a girl, Mister Renaldi?" Katie spoke quietly, playfully if not teasing him. Really, she was trying to lighten the subject for him while Legend seemed to go the other way with his rather blunt question to Lexi.

Jade giggled "well everything does look good." She said, as she scanned the table of food. "Everyone I ask says the food is amazing... I totally agree!" As she piled yummy things onto her plate, she picked three chocolaty things, two pieces of pie and an apple. Just to balance things out.

Stabbing one of the chocolate things and cutting it then putting it in her mouth, she immediately fell to the floor. "Oh my gosh, thats amazing!" She said, jumping back up. "I am very much enjoying my food." Jade grinned.

Nika was a bit taken aback by the girl's snappy request. Yet she nodded when the girl asked her if she was Nika. Nika wanted to tell the girl that she wasn't normally like this. Nika recognized the girl from that place in hogsmeade when Nika had hugged her. Well if the girl remembered that then she would surely know that Nika was always cheerful and happy. Always, until today. "You wouldn't be so cheerful if your best friend just told you that she was leaving Hogwarts forever either." She replied staring at her empty plate instead of the girl who she was talking to.

Thank merlin that Arabella still liked her. If Arabella didn't want to be her friend Nika would probably explode with tears. After everything that happened today she just didn't feel like taking anymore of it. Another sad peice of information would just ruin her life completely. Or at least that's what she was starting to think.

'Yeah, I like Quorn hot dogs!' Rose grinned 'They taste like proper meat! What about your favourite food?'

" Oh corn and hot dogs" William told Rose. " I sm eating my favorite food now" William said to Rose. " I love pasta, too" William explained to Rose.

"Don't worry about it, your parents sound alright, I'm sure they think you're great anyway." she smiled. Her own parents, on the other hand, already had a genius daughter and a quick witted son and didn't really need her getting in the way.

"You can read and write can't you?" she said, it just wasn't fair, she was trying her hardest to be happy all the time and everyone else was getting all miserable over the littlest things. "All my best friends live in Germany. It's not as difficult as you think." she added as an afterthought. Then she softened a little. "Sorry. Bad stuff going on. Really bad. Not your fault." she mumbled, pouring another glass of pumpkin juice as an excuse to look away from Nika.

Zara was surprised by the enthusiasm of Jade. Guess that's the effect of food on people. "Glad you're enjoying it, Jade," said Zara as she gave her friend a wide grin. "Well, I'm done."

She had just finished the very last of her cake, and has placed her fork down beside the golden plate.

As she finished eating, Zara's attention had been caught by the words, "Donovan and personally chosen Prefect." She scanned the room, searching for the voice who had said that and her eyes lingered on Legend Chosen, who still wasn't finished with what he said so Zara had easily recognized him. 'New personally chosen Prefect?' Zara thought, 'Does that mean..'

And as the thought began to sink in, Zara's eyes widened in horror. Was that the reason why she hardly saw Patroclus anymore? Really? What happened? Was he gone? Expelled? Injured? Having some important matters that required him back home? Fatally ill? Was on a mission? WHAT?!

Zara gulped as she tried to even out her breathing. Okay, calm down. She was still staring at Legend 'Chosen.' How ironic. Legend Chosen was, well, chosen. New Gryffindor Prefect. No, this couldn't be. She had to know where he was. Since the "new" Gryffindor Prefect was only a few chairs away, Zara's feet began to act on their own, standing up and suddenly approaching him. 'What the--?'

She tried to stop, to go back to where she was previously seated. All she needed to know was where Patroclus was, and maybe by silently listening there, she'd know. Maybe one of Legend's friends would ask, and she would get the information. But why was she approaching him? This was not good. NOT GOOD.

And there she was. At the back of Legend's chair, staring at him. She cleared her throat, taking the chance now. She just had to know NOW. Where on earth is Patroclus. "Hi," Zara said, biting her lip. She refused to believe he was the new Prefect. She refused to look at that place where the Prefect badge was supposed to be. Luckily, Legend was seated.

When Lexi whispered to him, Orlando became unnaturally interested in his toast. The toast was a little square wasn't it? Lexi's interest in his embarrassment only made the boy imagine Lexi seeing Orlando shirtless more. WHICH was just not good. NOT GOOD AT ALL. "No .. not embarrassed by anything" the sixteen year old prayed that his cheeks weren't turning red. Sadly though, they were.

To distract himself and Lexi for that matter, Orlando tried to indulge himself in Legend's words. "But it is quite good working in the year book" he said, a little confused. Was there something going on between Lexi and Legend, that he was not aware of? Because he was definitely missing something.

However, that was not the bigger issue here - apparently the even bigger issue than Lexi seeing him shirtless (okay, let's count that out because that was a huge issue) and Legend's possible war with Lexi was KT finding out about Legend and his swimming sessions in the COLD COLD lake. Because she was clearly not happy. His face slightly fell and he pouted a little: Why was it that KT did not share his opinion on Legend being the pants, Merlin himself wore. She out right said, Legend was wrong. "But but .. Lord Borr gave us those assignment .. and Legend said that being a man required doing such stuff" he nodded, biting his tongue as to not spill out his other conversation with Legend. Somehow, it didn't feel appropriate to discuss chest and chin hair with Lexi next to him and KT in front of him. UMM YEAH. So he would just let Legend do the talking now and concentrate on his breakfast, yep!

Of course, it was only a momentary bliss because they were all on him again. Lexi was asking him about girls and patting his back when he choked. It didn't really help now that she was touching his back and was also being the one asking him about girls. "No no .. it's okay. I .. uh ... yeah" WHAT WAS HE SUPPOSE TO SAY? She was clearly amused at his awkward ways. And then thanks to Legend, Orlando wanted to drown in his pumpkin juice. His cheeks colored deeply, hearing Legend ask Lexi so bluntly. Being not so subtle, the boy kicked the older Gryffindor under the table.

When KT spoke however, Orlando couldn't help but bow his head a little. "No ma'am," the boy said - having a small smile on his lips. "I have not forgotten" He knew KT had strictly told him to never call her that again but when she talked to him like that, he just couldn't help it.

'Cool! I can't wait for the holidays! A break from work!' Rose said relieved

Arabella-Marie smiled at Aurora and said "I hope your right Aurora" No matter what happened Arabella-Marie would still be loved by her parents

"*I* am rude? That's rich coming from YOU, Legend Chosen! And don't think too highly of yourself, Madame Donovan chooses all of her Prefects. You aren't special." Really he wasn't. He got lucky that Pat left. Speaking of... she missed Patroclus. SIGH.

...

"LEGEND! Can you TRY to be a civil human being for once in your life?! I was merely making conversation with him, you NOOB! I have a boyfriend whom I have been dating for a year now as a matter of fact!" HOPELESS! TOTALLY HOPELESS! It was a fact.

Turning her head and going back to ignoring Legend she smiled at Katie and nodded her head. "Aye! Nice to meet ya!" She wouldn't hold the fact that she was Hufflepuff against her. Not yet anyway. She seemed nice enough.

Poor Lando. Lexi smiled as she watched his cheeks flame red. She really hadn't meant to embarrass him. Like, at all. He was a sweet boy and she was only trying to make conversation. "I'm sorry, Orlando. Look... I will catch up with you in the Yearbook office. I need to get up there and get to work on some things. See ya!" she said as she gathered up her things, shoved some bacon in her bag and GLARED at Legend. FEH.

"Mhmm. T'll bfnne." said Aurora through a mouthful of apple.


[ooc: she said 'it'll be fine']

Arabella-Marie laughed and said "Are you super hungry Aurora cause all you have been doing since we first met has been eating"

Aurora swallowed and grinned. "Mmm, I'm always hungry. Never stop eating." She took another bite of her apple, luckily, she never seemed to put on any weight, unluckily, it meant she had to keep eating to get enough energy.

Arabella-Marie smiled and said "Cool i am trying to not eat a lot but hey Hogwarts is a chance to eat all we want without our parents telling us off"

"Why? You're going to have to eat a lot if you do Borr's assignment properly." Aurora said, putting her apple core down with the grape stalk. Now that is what you call a healthy lunch... apart from that jam sandwich. She glanced up and down the table. Ooooh, chocolate. She took some and broke a bit off, putting it in her mouth. She offered the chocolate to Arabella-Marie. "Want some?"

Arabella-Marie grinned and said "I would love some chocolate Aurora plus i have hardly done any of Borr's assignment" Arabella-Marie was being a rebel

"Maybe we should go running together then." Aurora laughed. She doubted anyone was the sort of person to go running. "I've sort of done some of it. Need to do the dancing part though, even though I had dance lessons when I was younger. As I said earlier, Merlin forbid I embarrass my parents at a party." She laughed, remembering being forced to dance with her parent's friends children at parties; Merlin, she had hated that.

Arabella-Maroe smiled and said "We should but one problem i don't have my trainers with me and i have yet to recieve them from home so running out in the snow in bare feet or high heels would be virtually a broken ankle"

Aurora smiled, "You could always transfigure some shoes, or I bet someone has some trainers you could borrow." She was a witch right? "And anyway, even if you did break your ankle then I'm sure the hospital wing could sort you out." she laughed. "Kidding, but we could do some of it together."

Arabella-Marie laughed and said "Yeah well even if i did know how to transfigure shoes i would have mastered it by now and plus i am sure that my owl has just got a bit lost in the snow storm and true Healer Moretti is brilliant i have already been in the hospital wing once already"
