Kurumi was the one who'd wanted the pumpkin juice, not him, so, she should drink from the cup. Hey, wait, what? "You haven't?" but she had to eat! The Gryffindor Prefect made the Head Boy frown, quite visibly too, "I'm not leaving your side until you eat something. At least one strawberry." More than a strawberry, actually. But he wasn't leaving, nor they were leaving the Great Hall for that matter.
SHE HASN'T BAKED?!
Awwww, but...didn't she love doing so? Baking cookies? "Why not?" He could ask, "I guess I forgot to thank you for the cupcakes from my birthday, by the way." He smiled, and then brushed a strand of her hair away from her face. And then another strand. Her hair was incredibly soft, come to think of it. "Thank you."
It wasn't that she didn't WANT to eat...she just couldn't. It was an odd sensation...something she had never felt before despite the varying amounts of depression she had felt over the course of her fifteen years of life. Why had that been...perhaps, it was because her mother had always been there at the end of the day with a fresh batch of cookies and glass of milk of cup of hot tea.
But that wouldn't be there anymore...
Hands still on the cup, Kurumi didn't notice Treyen push back a few strands of her hair. Had she, she may have blushed...but now both of them would never know. Slowly, she picked the cup back up and took the smallest of sips before looking back at the bowl of fresh fruit he had pulled closed to them. "
I...do like strawberries..." she said softly. "
M-Mother likes them too..."
Her thoughts trailed off again, as they were doing a lot recently. At least Treyen knew now. One more person she could turn to when things got...more intense.
Kurumi turned her violet eyes towards him again when he spoke and a faint smile tugged at the corners of her lips. Cupcakes...right..."
You know...you are the only person I bake cupcakes for." True statement. "
I...just don't know if..."

Basically Ellie's schedule until the Hufflepuff match. And she'd just gotten finished with the Quidditch part, so it was time for eating. First, just in case he were there, she scanned the Hufflepuff table. Next her eyes went to the Ravenclaw table. That would be her destination.
Instead, she saw him as her gaze passed the Gryffindor table. Odd, no? How often did the Hufflpuff Prefect eat with the Lions?
Nonetheless, Ellie made to sit by him. It wasn't until she was closer did she notice who he was sitting with.
And what they were doing.
That made her lose her appetite. It felt as if her stomach dropped and she had horrible, HORRIBLE flashbacks. Flashbacks of awful feelings. Of brokenness. And hurt.
Suddenly, she was overcome with an unfamiliar, territorial instinct. In which she found herself instantly standing beside him and attempting to sit between Treyen and Kurumi. "Hey there. Boyfriend." BOY.FRIEND. It was her. Ellie. Your GIRLFRIEND. Remember?
REMEMBER?!??!!!?!
But her sentence was cut off when...Ellie appeared out of no where.
Kurumi noted the obvious lack of greeting for her and the aggressive stare she was receiving. WHAT had the lioness done now? Was she not even allowed to talk to Treyen anymore?
Kurumi's body posture shrunk and grew very small and her grip on her cup of pumpkin juice tightened. Was she...supposed to greet her? Or...was she just supposed to get up and leave?
Somehow...Kurumi felt like the latter was the more desired result...
