All right you lot. DIG IN. Now? NOW NOW? Just like that, there was food appearing in front of them, and Dot watched it slide into place with wide eyes, only filling her plate when she saw the older students doing it. Chicken legs. All the chicken legs. And mashed potatoes. Gravy, of course. Mushy peas. Pumpkin juice. Were there rolls?
She was hungry. "Now," Dot waved her chicken leg at the boy in agreement, stopping short when she saw her reflection on his shiny badge. "Can I see that?" Puh-lease? Quote:

Say something. Say something in your squeaky little voice, small'un! The boy person was still there. And he called her a little kid, which was true and also insulting. She stiffened considerably, giving him a self-consciously regal little nod, especially since he was on about her trip under the house table. Embarrassing, that.
"Secret mission. Can't tell you 'bout it. You don't got clearance." And then she stuffed her mouth so full of potatoes they were practically squishing out her ears. Quote:

Hugo turned around and observed the other house tables. Lots of people. Gladly, he wasn't claustrofobic or he would be dead by now. Then, he noticed someone was saying hi to him. It was the girl who was crying earlier. He looked at her and waved his hand awkwardly. "Hello..."
Ohh but the girl wanted food too. Point for you crying girl. "I don't know" he shrugged "But I'm starving" as always. "I'm Hugo" he told her "Why were you crying before?" he couldn't resist to ask.
Then, the headmistress gave a speech. Chorts? What are chorts? He had a puzzled look. And there were new professors as well. Well, for him everyone was new. Hugo looked at each one of the professors, some of them looked friendly and others... well, it was going to be interesting.
And finally, FOOD. Before he could say anything to the girl, the boy with the badge spoke. "Yess, finally!" said the boy in excitement and his stomach growled.
Just look at all these amazing, delicious food. Thank you Hogwarts. "Eat" he told the girl and grabbed beef, mashed potatoes, gravy on top (obviously) and bread. Ohh and wait for the dessert. Hugo. She knew someone called Hugo now. She swallowed hastily to answer him. "I'm Dot. And I wasn't crying. Got allergies." That was a thing, right? Dot picked up another chicken leg and regarded Hugo was interest as she gnawed on it.
"I was 'sposed to be Ravenclaw, but I guess this is alright. They don't turn you into animals right off, do they?" That was her big concern, really. Dima wasn't with her, and that was terrible and miserable, but as long as she wasn't a rat or goldfish at bedtime, Dot could survive as a Slytherin thing. Quote:

That was a thing, right? Either way, he was not in a good mood and was barely even stuffing his face. He only had room in his stomach for a chicken leg, plate of roast beef, huge spoonful of potatoes, two goblets of pumpkin juice, and five bread rolls. Seriously he was practically starving himself and he just couldn't force himself to eat more!
Then there was something going on with Ruby and Zahra running around with pillows on their heads. Caleb was actually amused until Tillstorm - or, um...Healer something else now that she was married - squashed all the fun right away. If this was any indication as to how his year would be, he was not pleased. Oh, Merlin, look at this one. Dot was quite enjoying the speed and dexterity with which he was stuffing his face, and she placed her empty chicken bones on his plate, JUST to see what he'd do when he got to them. Surprise, see?
"Are you breathing?" Important questions here.
