Or they’d told him wrong to get him into trouble but somehow, he didn’t think this was the case with this one. Did he really think he knew more than a prefect who’d spent six years at the school, discovering its secrets first hand and learning from some of the best minds in the world? (Maybe he was giving some of the teachers a little too much credit here). Either way, the teachers obviously didn’t seem to mind too much so who was he to argue with them.

“I’m sure your family might have dined with other table but you’re not them. You’ve been here 2 minutes so rather than make a scene, maybe next time, just do what you’re supposed to” he retorted, not in a mean way but just as a matter of fact. He did have to give the boy one thing, now was the time to actually get to know people. “While you’re here though, you might as well make the most of it” holding out a bowl of pea and carrot soup for both Noah and Mark to try now “This is pretty good if you haven’t tried it”, a reluctant smile on his lips at the boys tall comment. “I don’t think it’ll make you as tall as me though” he replied, the faintest smile on his face, replacing the disapproving look that had been set on there a moment ago.

Dipping some bread into his soup now, Ewan’s mind wandered a little towards the comfortable, four poster bead that was waiting for him up in his dormitory. With lessons starting tomorrow, a good night sleep was a must tonight although it could end up being a little bit of a late-night judging from the headmasters words.

So this particular prefect was one of those kinds of authority figures who were a stickler for rules, eh? Noah was tempted to cross out Ewan's name from his list of potential new friends but thought about it being too early and hasty. He didn't want to label him just yet, in fact, he was rather curious. What was like back in their home? Did he live all his life with strict rules and schedules? Like, if he didn't go down for dinner at a certain time he'd have to deal with his hunger pangs until lunch as punishment? Was he loved? Was he short on affection and care? Noah felt empathy all of a sudden because if his guesses were even close to the truth then Ewan must be living a very boring life. Very structured and organized life. Blech. It'll never be his cup of tea. Ever.

And then he was reprimanded. He'd know what it was like to be talked down as he often butted heads with student leaders back in their primary muggle school. He'd often come out as the enemy, but really, he didn't care. What mattered to him was the reason behind such ridiculous rules. Noah turned and scrunched up his face at the prefect, "I'm not them but the rules haven't changed, as far as what I am seeing," he said gesturing to the other kids hanging out with their respective gangs from different houses, "So...technically, I'm not wrong." Noah shrugged and longed for the pot roast that was well away from his reach, it looked glorious! "And for the record, I didn't make a scene. I just gave you an argument. An intelligent one too, I believe." he said nodding solemnly. He could be smart actually...if he wanted to that is.

"But I'll take your advice and just make the most out of tonight. It is our first night, after all." And there will be plenty more. Was Ewan ready? He hoped so! Noah quickly checked on Catherine and of course, she'd panic at the first sign of an argument. Everything that he's comfortable with will forever be uncomfortable for her and vice versa. They are twins, but their wirings are very, very different.

He gladly accepted the food offered and tried it out immediately. It was tasty and warm...and very healthy. It was a good entree to warm up his belly! Noah looked up from his soup bowl when Ewan continued. "Why not? I eat healthy...sort of. And what's it like being SO tall? Is the air up there any cleaner? Definitely the view's better. You can see everything from way up!" he said as he watched the prefect dunk his bread into his soup and...wait whoa, YOU CAN DO THAT?! Noah's jaw fell from the rest of his face and watched the older kid eat his soggy bread. Why didn't he think of that??!
