Daniel sat back in his chair and drank the rest of his beverage before placing it on top of the table next to him when he heard his name.

When the nearly fifteen-year-old looked up, he saw one of the Slytherins dressed in a purple dress with a white shawl around her shoulders. "Hello Aria" he said, motioning to an empty chair at his table. "No, not really" he replied. "Lisa went to the dance floor, but I'm staying away from there"

"What do you think of the feast?" he questioned, his gaze drawn to V as she approached the refreshments table, and he frowned slightly as he saw her roughly take one of the cups, nearly spilling some of the beverage on her dress.

He didn't hear her murmuring something impolite under her breath, but he could sense something had upset her.

But then, what didn't upset these girls these days?

Although the 'compliment' was for him, the fact that she was staring over at the dance floor did not go unnoticed. He couldn't see who she was staring at because there were too many people on the floor, but he could make a wild guess.

Benjee Marchbanks.

Yes, Daniel knew that V had a massive crush on the older Slytherin. She had even confessed it to him once when they had been alone in one of the domes and he had kind of confessed that he liked Lisa's older sister. People who were out of their league.

He sighed and took out his wand from his wrist holster and twirled it between his fingers and pointedly ignored Vera waving at him and calling him 'Danny boy' at least it was a step up from 'Squid Boy'.

He was bored already.
