"Thank you." He said, that grin still in place. "It seems like a cool house." Should he introduce himself? Was he worthy enough to tell the Prefect his name? Pfft of course he was. "My name's Michael." So...yeah.

"The best," Jake replied with a grin of his own when the boy said Gryffindor sounded cool. He might have been a little biased, but that wasn't his fault. Plus, he felt like he knew the gist of the other houses pretty well. And every single one was better than Ravenclaw. Yep.

The boy was introducing himself now, though, so Jake tuned back in in time to catch his name. "Pleasure, Michael. I'm Jake Keller."

Text Cut: the girlfriend ^_^

What was she doing? Jake. Come on. She was only playing the single greatest game ever. The CUP game!

"The cup game. Have you not heard of it?" she asked in a shocked voice. Seriously. This was a critical point in any childhood. "I can teach you." And by that she meant he was about to learn whether he wanted to or not.

... then was completely distracted by the speech.

Anya stared. Her hands frozen in a position where she was right about to clap in her cup game.

Anyone that had been there when she froze in her second year, might have been concerned with her state of inanimateness.

But... after a few seconds, her eyes widened. Headmistress say WHAT? Stared at her plastic utensils and paper plate. How was she supposed to wash a paper plate anyway?

Then she had a slew of questions cross her brain at nearly the same instant. Did Carter know about this? What were the chances the school had a pottery wheel? She was not eating off this the entire year! She was allowed to order nice things for herself, right? Nice engraved things that she wouldn't mind washing. How did house elves resign anyway? She was under the impression they were for life. Where did the good food go? Was she allowed to cook for herself too? Because... that would be the better option. Did she have to do her own laundry? She could. But she knew for a fact Jake didn't know how to.

Speaking of Jake, how did he feel about this?

And was that ice cream? Ignoring the rest of the atrocious food on the table, she slid the closest entire bowl in her direction. And then she licked it. Pfft. She was sooo not wasting a use of her spoon on ice cream. This was something that could be eaten fine just like this.

And then the red head at the staff table started talking.

Jake stared up at her, leaning over the table to get a better look. As Truebridge continued with her speech, the Prefect's eyes got bigger and bigger. His hand that rested on Anya's leg got a bit of a tighter grip momentarily, also. They were eating with plastic things all term. The house elves had gone AWOL ("resigned," could house elves even do that?), and... food.

Food was good.

Jake immediately started filling his paper plate, but stopped much sooner than he normally would. Because... there wasn't much food. He stared at the lack of options for a second before tentatively taking a bite of chicken. And... nope. This was not usual Hogwarts food.

Thank Merlin for ice cream, right?

Pushing his plate away, he pulled a bowl of ice cream closer instead. Finally, he looked over at Anya. Who was... licking... her... ice cream.

After blinking in confusion a few times, Jake shrugged to himself and started licking his ice cream just as his girlfriend was. Who needed sporks anyway? This worked just fine.
