" Hello," She said, smiling as she moved to sit next to him. " It looks like you're the first one here, and you're the hungriest too," she said with a light laugh as she caught his forlorn stare into the plate before him. " Have you seen Elizabeth?" She asked, neatly propping her elbows up on the table.
Ludo looked away from his plate and the Staff table as Mari sat down next to him at the Ravenclaw table. He smiled,
"Hey Mari." He chuckled at her comment about being hungry.
"It's that obvious isn't it?"
He looked down the table at the question for Liz.
"No I haven't seen..." Quote:

Before heading over to the Ravenclaw table, she glanced at the staff table. It appeared some of the new professors were already there, and one of them caught her eye as looking familiar for some reason. Shaking the feeling off for now, pushing figuring it out until later, she turned to her house table as her name was mentioned. By a familiar voice.
"Hey Mari," she said, walking over. Then she saw who Mari had been talking to, and smiled. "Hey Ludo. Don't even think of eating the plate," she teased the tall boy sitting there. "Food'll come soon enough." She started to head toward them, and then was distracted by another familiar voice, which sounded dangerously controlled. Robert. Good to know he's at least trying, she thought, before turning her head to look over at the exact time the girl from the Quidditch store knocked his chair legs out from under him.
Her green eyes widened as she changed direction slightly to go over to them. "What's going on here?," she asked the tiny girl, who now that she was closer she could see was a Slytherin. Then she reached a hand down to Robert, helping him up before picking the chair back up, then looking at the Slytherin again. "I don't know what the problem is between you guys," she said quietly, "but I didn't hear anything that should have resulted in people being knocked to the floor." She made sure her face stayed in a neutral expression, especially since she didn't know this girl.
Ludo broke from his sentence and grinned as Liz walked towards them.
"Well here she is..." he said a little obviously. He laughed as she called out a comment about his glance at the plate as well.
"Everyone gets their hunger pangs!" He said, comically. Ludo motioned for Liz to join them on the bench when he noticed her attention was elsewhere.
He followed her gaze to a boy, the same boy he'd noticed Mari glance at. It was the same boy that had been in the compartment with the two that also recognized as a Ravenclaw in his own year. He seemed to be having a bad time with a Slytherin girl and Liz seemed to have noticed.
