"Anna! Cale!" she called, as she took a seat next to them. She couldn't help but be dazzled by the delicious-looking food that surrounded her. No joke...she was starving. All this Hogwarts-nervousness could make a girl hungry. She indiscreetly yanked a turkey leg and plopped it on her plate.

"How are you guys? Man, I'm so- Paul Kutcher...," Liesel trailed off, her attention ripped from her friends to a carving on the table. She furrowed her brow and looked questioningly to Cale and Anna, "Who's Paul Kutcher?"

"A Slytherin? No way, my dad talks about him all the time, Cale," Anna reported. "Paul Kutcher was definitely a Hufflepuff. I'm sure it says so right here." Anna started looking closer at the table, hoping to see some sort of mention of what house Paul Kutcher was actually in. She was sure it would say "Hufflepuff."

"There's nothing written there but his name, and even if it did list his house, it would say Slytherin," he told her. "My mum was a Hufflepuff and she never mentioned anything about Paul Kutcher being in her house. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about," he insisted, crossing his arms.

Maybe you mother was in the same house as Paul, but she just thought the fact was too random to bring up to you. The only reason my father brought him up is because he was in a business dealing with him once. He was a Hufflepuff. End of story."

My dad was really good friends with him in school and I can remember the name being brought up a few times when I was little. He was in Slytherin with my dad, and that's why he was so close with him. And if my mum was in the same house as him, and she KNEW how close my dad was with him, why would she keep stuff like his house hidden? He was a Slytherin, end of story," he snapped, crossing his arms and turning away from her as well.

"Don't drag her into this," he added, turning around to glare at Anna as she tried to drag poor Liesel into their argument. "It's not her fault that you're wrong for a change."

Anna smiled politely and turned back towards Liesel. "Erm, I guess you wouldn't know him," she replied. "I mean, it's not like your FATHER was good friends with him like mine was."



"I didn't have to hear you call him a liar, Cale. You practically are anyway," Anna explained. "Ugh, I need my father here. That's just all there is to it." Anna picked up her fork and stabbed it into a potato as hard as she could. So hard, in fact, that she felt the fork jab right through the potato and meet the table head-on. She then stuck the fork in her mouth and chewed on the potato, thinking of her next move.

"No, I don't always know everything, but this time, I do. I'm tired of you contradicting everything I say, Cale. I'm right, you're wrong. We'll just chalk it up to one of your....ohh, clumsy moments. Paul Kutcher is a HUF-FLE-PUFF, Cale. END.OF.STORY," she said, sarcastically waving the fork in front of face.

"And I contradict everything YOU say? HA! I think you have to do that at least once a day or your head might explode. And don't take a crack at my clumsiness!" he exclaimed, standing up. That did it. It was not like he could CONTROL his stupid, clumsy feet or anything. Nope. It was some genetic problem or something, it had to be, right? "That's it, I'm going to settle this once and for all!" he cried, turning on his heel and stomping off to the staff table.

"Cale, I--," but she stopped short as he continued on and on, stabbing deeper and deeper with every word that he said. Not that she hadn't done a little bit of stabbing herself, though. She was just about to try and settle him down and resolve this once and for all, when he said a few things that were just not able to be settled...or, not at least right this moment.

"My head might explode?!?!" she shrieked. "CALE!" Oh, this was not good. No, no, no, not good at all. "The staff table?!?! Wait!" Anna jumped up from her seat so quickly she nearly knocked over a few things in the process. "Oh, no you don't! Not without ME there to say my side!"

Oh this was already starting off lovely...lovely indeed. "Just wonderful Anna," but then he tried to hide the look of a frown that was about to pop up on his face. He was not the Head of House during this term as there was already Mac who was the HoH before, he was merely a helpful one last year during the nasty splitting of the school. But at this moment, he was not about to correct the young innocent child before him...at least not in front of little Ms. Intern.

"Well, I am glad to see that you are both here and felt the need to come to me about a problem," he said as his head didn't move but his eyes shifted in the direction of Cassandra. Another sly smile emerged. "What can I help you both with on this fine day," he asked as his eyes moved back to the two Gryffindors.
