She blinked two times before she whispered, "Hey, Daphne, who're they?" she asked. Merlin, was she that out of it that she didn't notice the two join them?
Daphne had listened to the Prefect's sermon with flushed cheeks. There were only so many times one could apologize for a misunderstanding. Picking up a dinner roll she buttered it, eyes focused on the job at hand and not at everything else that was going on around her.
Like the random Hufflepuff girl throwing broccoli, or the accusations fluttering in the air. For a moment, she could almost pretend she was back at home having dinner by herself without any interruptions. Yes, it certainly was best to have dinner with yourself. No parents with their incessant questions about friends and future goals and no other students prying into your personal bubble.
In her mind swam the delicate notes of the piano being played not to far away from the dinning room and the scent of Gardenia's that her mother just had to have around the mansion, even when she wasn't home, tickled her nose. However; her reality imploded when it was stabbed through the heart with Jillian's high pitch voice.
Looking away from the dinner roll, Daphne Hopton directed her eyes towards the individuals in question. "The gentleman would be Kingston Wendleworth and the girl is Melina Roscoe," she whispered the last name dubiously, not entirely sold that that was the girl's name. There had been plenty of chatter when she was introducing herself and the girl's timid voice had made it hard to catch over the buzzing of different voices in the Great Hall.
