First years almost getting eaten things.
And well -- Daisy had suddenly become the overprotective type of sister after that. "Maxxie!" She greeted him enthusiastically when she approached him; as if she hadn't been following him since he had left the common room. As if he hadn't been able to tell, probably. That boy was eerily smart. Without any concern for his private space, the girl stood behind him and soon enough had her arms around the first year. "Can you believe we're going home at last? And that we get to feast soon?" She squeezed him hard and swayed them a bit, her chin resting on top of his head. Did they have to wait for the speeches?? Better yet, was the Headmistress resigning because of the 'traumatised-children' drama?
All the curiosity was just making her even hungrier. Quote:

Daisy had absolutely no clue when it came to personal space. This was HIS bubble, not hers! "Hogwarts is crazy. I don't think mum is going to let us come back next year so we'd better make the most of this feast." He wriggled out of her grip and looked up at his older sister with a solemn expression.
Would they be allowed to take a goody bag filled with food back home? The term hadn't be the greatest, but at least he was alive. This, Levi was acutely aware, should not have been an accomplishment (or perhaps it should have?) but there was something to be said about a monster breaking out from a multidimensional portal and threatening to eat everyone.
As a matter of fact, there was plenty that could be said about that. But, what mattered now was that he was alive and OWLs were, somehow and after everything, very much over.
It was a huge relief. So big Levi actually forgot why things between him and his siblings had been tense, as of late. Not that they had, probably, but he was determined to be the bigger person as always (YES, ALTHEA) and look past whatever it was that had gone wrong.
Which was exactly why the boy headed towards the Slytherin table, brown eyes quickly scanning the table for Declan. Though he didn't actually find his brother, there were enough familiar faces for him not to backtrack and head back to join his fellow Gryffindors. There was Brent, Skylar, the Head Girl who had flung grapes at him. Others. The important part was that everyone got a smile. And after that he went and sat across Daisy and a boy who looked a lot like her.
Levi blinked. Was this a sibling? One of the how many, again? The fifth year offered the boy a smile. "Have you seen Declan?" At Daisy. Greetings were also important, so he turned to the boy. "Hey, man. You must be..." Maximus? Maximillian? "...Maxton, right? I'm Levi." Clearly not a Gryffindor. "Ugh, I wish they wouldn't make us wait for the food."
