She had almost succeeded. How embarrassing. Guess now we know why Gryffindor is not his house. "We weren't talking, you were bullying me, which is rude, in case you didn't you know." Scoff, scoff, scoff. She probably DIDN'T know, really - kids' brains weren't that big anyway.

Ignoring his 'crazy' remark because Ian had certainly heard worst, Ian tugged at the ends of his hair in a distracted fashion, and left it pointing at all kinds of random directions. Even more tangled and wilder than usual, his hair was. Whatever.

"I'm hungry."

"My dad told me that, uh ... " He scratched his freckled cheek, trying to remember, "... After the dude who runs this place gives us some kind of lecture? something like that." Lecture, speech, same difference.

All those things made him sleepy. He ventured a look at the staff table and felt his slightly bushy eyebrows jerk up to hide under his messy fringe, before snorting and shaking his head; there were a bunch of kids crowding the teachers' table, and in Ian's experience that only meant one thing:

They were suck-ups.

Kellen sighed, "We have to listen to a whole speech before we can eat?"

Usually he was tolerant of waiting. Not today. It was like Icoguy was infecting the whole table with hunger. Or maybe it was just passing into Kellen through osmosis. Or something. He was so hungry he couldn't think of a witty analogy!

Kellen's eyes followed where Icoguy was looking, up to the head table, and saw the students standing there and talking with the teachers. Direct from brain to mouth came the words, "The longer they stand up there brown nosing, the longer we have to wait for the speech to even start."

That was when he saw one of the girls and recognized her from the train. Wasn't she... He looked like someone had just dumped a bucket of water on his head, "Oh great. The friend of the Trog is delaying dinner."
