If he didn't want to go sit with his sister or his girlfriend or one of the million acquaintances he had.
Was he staring? She stared back unblinkingly. It was easier, she decided, to stare when there weren't people in the way, or little second years that noticed things. Much easier. And nicer.
His friends too, West noted, and yet it didn't really sound appealing to him. Not that they weren't appealing but... reasons.
"If you like, for a little while. If we can find an empty one." Empty was good anyway wasn't it? Surely Bliss would come looking for
him? He fell silent and just... finished off the cauldron cake. And looked at her. And smiled. And licked the crumbs off his fingertips. And stared some more and sort of forgot a bit about finding someplace to sit.
Hi.
