Chase had to stifle the biggest laugh at Beth's change in facial expression. He ended up coughing and then reached for his goblet to try to drink something. Unfortunately, there wasn't anything in the goblets and here he was coughing. He pulled out his wand, cast a quiet "Augmenti" into his goblet and then took a sip. Good. Not choking on his own laugh anymore. Ahem. But now back to the important matter of Beth's non-boyfriend.
Her next words caught him off guard. He'd be the first person to know when SHE had a boyfriend. Why in Merlin would she tell him that? Why would he be the VERY first? And then she was petting him? Did he look like a bloody pygmy puff to her? And then his jaw dropped when SHE daaared to mention that he was jealous. Chase scoffed. "As if." He pitied the guy who dated her -- well -- he paused his internal monologue. He wouldn't go THAT far to ever say that but, with patience thinning, Chase couldn't help himself. Beth would certainly get her and her significant other in trouble. "I'm just saying if you always mention this lad people will start to assume that you like him, y'know. And that could cause you trouble for if you DO actually like someone else." Take heed, Greyvson. Chase was trying to impart something he had learned last year.
Now it was good to see Anna. "Thanks! I did. How was yours?" he asked, feeling himself smile because of Anna's infectious happiness. He paused and watched her get more excited when Quidditch was mentioned. Wow. Anna SEEMED really, really, REALLY happy about everything today. He smiled faintly at her reaction and listened for a little while. As the conversation changed to their head of house, he nodded quietly at Anna's description of him. Ill seemed apt. He hoped that his Head of House was okay. "Maybe he'll come over to the table later?" Maybe then they could get a better read on him.
Another new kid (Jozef) joined the table and he, too, decided to sit far away from the group. The young one looked perhaps a little upset. Perhaps it had something to do with being away from home or something about the train ride...? Yep. The kid was sulking. At least he had nice shades to sulk in.
