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.

But before he could even go back to talking about that, there was the matter of replying to what Stella had said about turning seventeen. "That would make sense, but my dad was all on my case a couple weeks ago that I needed to start acting like a mature adult since I was becoming of age; I just didn't get it honestly." He didn't honestly feel the need to understand that anyway since there was plenty of other things to deal with that were much more important, like her question about what he had thought they were; why did this conversation seem to be going in a circle? Regardless of that random comment in his head, he knew that something needed to be said about that and soon since he wasn't about to trail off in some form of silence. "Honestly? Beyond the ridiculous grey zone notion, I'd like to think that we're actually together, I mean as a couple." Wow, saying that without stumbling over his words was definitely an accomplishment but it was the truth for once; he truly did think of her as his girlfriend however now he had to wait to see what she thought of that and after TJ.. well he just hoped this wasn't going to a repeat performance since really that was not much fun the first time around. Stop being so negative here dude, she's not evil; so what happened with your ex isn't happening here. Well thank you social commentary.

The fact that she had cared about him hadn't gone unnoticed by any means, he really did appreciate the fact that she was around whenever he needed to talk which seemed to have been a lot lately but that was fine. "I really don't want to just end up falling asleep while trying to study or work on something that's important to my education. But lately it just seems like I have to choose one thing over the other and unfortunately sleep is being put on the back burner so to speak." A slight sigh escaped from his lips after he spoke since this was all just so frustrating, but this was nothing compared to how next term was going to be. When she decided to give him a hug, he couldn't help but smile again; of course being upset or really in a bad mood in general wasn't possible when she was around.

And the curious expression was back. "Your father doesn't think you act like a mature adult?," she asked, a bit surprised. Granted, she'd known him all of, oh, almost two years if you counted their original meeting before last school term, and obviously his parents would know him more than that, but she'd never thought of Matt as irresponsible. Not in the least, and if he had been, he wouldn't be going through as much stress as he was. She didn't want to think about how she might have unconsciously added to his stress, even as it seemed their conversation went back to what they were. The 'grey zone' comment made her smile a little, but she simply nodded as he finished his train of thought. At least, she thought he'd finished, even as his exact wording made her blush a little. Well, that was a bit more serious than I'd thought we'd gotten, she thought. "Okay...," she finally replied, after involuntarily glancing at the table, and Oberon still sitting there innocently, to clear her mind a little. "I agree that the idea of there being a grey area is ridiculous. And I agree that, at least, I think, we're definitely past just friends." Just friends didn't kiss, not when they weren't in France, and that was an entirely different type of kissing. Plus, they were definitely not in France.

"I think dating involves more than just one visit to the Room of Requirement for some dancing, though," she concluded, with another little smile. Until he'd moved on to talk about his problems with scheduling everything again, and the faint amusement and nervousness about establishing what they were faded a little. Again. In fact, she actually frowned slightly at what he'd said, even more when he sighed. "That's just... shouldn't I be the one worrying more about studying and everything?," she said, surprising herself even as her train of thought had switched so suddenly. It was logical, considering she was worried about the exams, and if she was unknowingly behind in everything due to her transfer. She still didn't like that he was forgoing sleep for everything else, though. She just didn't quite know how to actually say that.

She still didn't like that he was forgoing sleep for everything else, though. She just didn't quite know how to actually say that.

So everything was back to confusing, which really wasn't something he needed at this point since Matt had enough other things to think about. Seriously why couldn't life at this point just be simple? Not have to be all having him jump through metaphorical hoops to at least have things be considered normal. "Not at all, he insists that I act like a child which is rather ludicrous in my opinion. However I've been trying to convince him otherwise as of late." But clearly that wasn't helping since his father hadn't believed a word that he had said, more frustration came from that situation which was quite annoying to deal with. And now it seemed like he was back to square one with Stella trying to figure out what they were, since the idea of actually being a couple wasn't exactly taken in good spirits nor was the idea that they were just friends because clearly they were more than that. "Well now my thought of a grey zone doesn't seem so stupid. But maybe it does seem like I might be a little too far ahead in thought with the whole dating idea, I mean honestly I would like for us to end up that way sometime but with the craziness going on in school; asking you out on an actual date just never seems to happen." Of course he was going to blame everything that had happened this term on the fact that he was too much of a chicken to actually consider the idea of a proper date with her, but at least there wasn't any idea of being rejected since he wasn't quite sure how to take that if it had happened.

After the whole mini awkward, confusing moment there; he couldn't help but yawn a bit, yeah this was really a good birthday. "Well I doubt that you need to worry about studying even though there's OWLs in addition to school exams. It just seems like my brain wants to tackle NEWT preparation even though that's not until next term, I'd rather just sleep since I seem to be making some mistakes with even the simplest study question." But he really didn't want to lose time with not being to study, though there was no way that he could continue going on this way since it was becoming quite ridiculous to not be able to sleep.

But he really didn't want to lose time with not being to study, though there was no way that he could continue going on this way since it was becoming quite ridiculous to not be able to sleep.

Stella was still just confused as to how they'd ended up in this conversation. Not to mention, she still hadn't eaten, so while Matt had spoken, she picked up her toast and took a bite. Maybe getting food in her system would help make sense of things. Especially since she still couldn't see why his parents would think he was irresponsible. Are they brainwashed by his cousin? I'm sure she'd try to say he was crazy for liking me, or something. Maybe that's how his father thinks he's irresponsible, she thought, blinking as the idea both made sense and sounded ridiculous. She didn't even know his father, so why would she think he'd follow Matt's cousin's crazy ideas? "I think sleep might help. Not running yourself to exhaustion with studying..." And thinking about her and whatever relationship they were starting. That last thought hurt, which made her go back to her toast instead of blurting it out. Blurting something like that out definitely wasn't going to help. She looked at him again as he'd continued speaking however. "Maybe we should just say we're, well, sort of dating? With an actual date on hold until we have time to actually think about having one?," she replied. At least, it had sounded like he thought they were somewhere between friends and the next step, which made her think that he might agree with her idea. She didn't mind waiting for him to actually feel ready to ask her out, not when they both had school to deal with. Studying, assignments... exams.

And she blinked again as he responded to her question about studying. Apparently he hadn't understood her concern over being behind, and she hoped part of that was just because he was exhausted. She'd caught the yawn, after all. "Starting that already is a good idea. Spreading it out so you're not cramming it all into next term, but you really don't need to worry about not being ready," she began, before slipping into French for a second, as her voice went softer at the same time. Her own confusion had deemed it necessary, it seemed. "J'ai la foi que vous allez faire bien quand ils viennent." Hopefully he'd understand. She definitely didn't want him collapsing from exhaustion, and at that thought she spoke again, going back to English. "Get some sleep, and then studying will actually be useful. It doesn't help if you don't understand what you're reading. If you're making mistakes." And it wouldn't help if she kept worrying about if he was sleeping, which she had a feeling she might end up doing after classes. If he didn't just end up falling asleep right now, which would be just as awkward.

Orr walked into the Great Hall cuddling Ginger with one arm and holding her bag in the other. She quickly but carefully headed towards the Ravenclaw table and carefully sat down.

In her arms, Ginger was very miserably twitching, she was very warm to the touch so Orr got out her wand and said in a clear voice, "Argentum Frigidus" swishing and tapping her wand at Ginger who grew cooler and who gave a grateful twitch. "Poor Ginger, you're not feeling well are you? I wonder why?" Orr said while stroking the egg.

Orr got herself a plate of food and ate it while looking after Ginger.

WitchLight27 · 10-26-2011, 03:54 PM

At the Great Hall, it was the best place Erin could be at in this time of the day. She hadn't eaten for about 12 hours because of all the homework she just finished. It was almost dark when she decided to jump down the Great Hall to fill her empty stomach. With her egg, Louisa cupped in her left hand, Erin walked down the moving staircases. "Louisa, you wanna eat?" asked Erin with her stomach making a growling sound. Louisa made a small movement upon hearing a word about food. The egg loved food even though she couldn't really eat. Louisa loved playing with it. And her favorite was the PUDDING.

Louisa jumped as they got nearer the food. "Louisa, look, there's a pudding! Your favorite," she exclaimed. Erin put the egg over the table napkin for comfort. Before the Ravenclaw could even touch her spoon and fork, Louisa jumped onto the sweet pudding.

When Erin finished her food, "Hey, I think you need a cleaning." And before the egg could even jumped over the pudding once more, Erin grabbed her with her free hand and used her wand arm to cast the spell, "Ar-gent-um" twirling her wand and then [/B]"...Humid-us"[/B] pointing it at Louisa and the egg became moisturized making it clean.

"Ar-gen-tum" swishing the wand "... Ca-lid-us!" tapping it at the egg making it dry. "Ex-CO-lo,"muttered Erin while tracing the polishing and pointing it at the egg. "There, you're refined again."

As soon as Zara got a roll of bread in her hands, she decided it was all she was gonna need for lunch that day. She missed her old appetite, eating almost everything.

Making her way to the Ravenclaw house table, Zara grinned and waved with her free hand at her friend, Trinity. Running there, she immediately sat beside her friend. "What's up?" She smiled and took a bite out of her bread.

She walked over to the table and sat next to Trinity. "Hey! How are you?" suddenly an envelope Dropped Down in front of her. She picked it up and opened it. Caitlyn wanted her boyfriend to adopt her. He seemed like a great guy. She looked at Trinity. "Do you have a piece of paper.

Presley skipped into the Great Hall, ready for some food! After her run, she was starving. It really had taken a lot of energy out of her. Especially that talk with Erin. She plopped down at the Ravenclaw table and filled her plate with yummy food.

Hateya stuck her tongue out at the book sitting on the table in front of her. She'd just managed to get it from the library, since a bajillion other people wanted it before her, and she could only find some of the answers. She liked Quidditch as much as the next beater, but seriously. Reading about it was only okay.

She crossed her arms on the table and dropped her chin onto them. Maybe if she stared the book down long enough, it'd start talking to her and just tell her what she needed to know. That'd be nice.

Ellie hadn't been excited about food anymore. 'Least not at Hogwarts. She remembered, just last term, she would go on and on about how amazing the food here was. But now, it was simply something to keep her alive and...healthy?

Her mom's cooking over the holidays was refreshing. So refreshing, she still remembered the taste though that was months ago. Home would be nice.

Anyway, she was still here in search of SOMETHING to stop her tummy from rumbling.

The fifth year walked the length of the table, choosing to sit next to little Hateya. "Hey there," she said grabbing a piece of toast and dropping her bag onto the table beside her plate.

"Hey." Hateya kept staring at the book for a few seconds more, then gave up and turned her attention to Ellie, "This book is being stupid. It's not telling me what I need to know."

Because obviously, a certain professor was of an age that he should be included in an old book, right? She looked at the notes she'd already made; they weren't exactly plentiful.

"I wanted to go bother Professor Vindictus about this homework, but then he might think I'm bothering him." So she was roughing it.

Ellie bit her lip as she scanned her immediate area for the butter. Because what was toast without butter?

Heh. In her opinion, most books were stupid. But glancing at the book, Ellie realized that this was one of the few exceptions. Actually, Ellie owned this book. Pity it was way up in the Common Room, though, and she was too famished to bother going to get it.

Ohhh, Vindictus' homework. "Which questions have you stumped?" Because Ellie could SO help for the most part. She had Quidditch Through the Ages almost memorized.

And if it were about Vindictus' team...Well, first of all, Ellie would be shocked if Hateya didn't know about Vindictus' Pro career. He was rather amazing back in his day. But also, she had a feeling Vindictus would hardly be bothered by these questions. He'd probably love talking about himself, actually. His Quidditch self.

"A few." Hateya pulled her parchment over and read, "Who is Professor Vindictus's older brother, and what job does he hold in the wizarding world? How'm I supposed to know that? And is this a trick question, because... he's kinda old. And his brother's older. Is his brother retired?"
