Slytherin House Table

[BanaBatGirl]

banner by hermioneclone

The Snakes sit under a beautiful silver and green banner representing their house. Their solid, shiny wooden table is nicely polished with all the place settings perfectly set. The food will arrive after the Headmistress' traditional feast speech. To all Slytherins, both new and old: enjoy the feast!

[Cassirin]

END OF THE TERM. How had that happened? It felt a little like Dot had just arrived and cried under the table at the Start of Term Feast, and now she was getting ready to go home for the summer.

Also, she wasn't going to cry at the table, and she wasn't going to embarrass herself. She was queen of the Slytherins now. Or queen of the baby Slytherins. Was there a crown she could wear? Dot gathered all the cloth napkins within her reach and wove them into something that was half crown and half veil and mostly very silly.

Queen of the baby Slytherins. "DINNER, MINIONS."

[hermionesclone]

"Looks like we made it through the year." he said to the girl he had walked with to this feast with. And what a year it had been! MAN. From being set on fire to having more existential crisis's in one year than he had in his entire sixteen years of existence. And THEN, as if the year couldn't get worse, it came crashing down the last couple of days. JUST what he wanted, wasn't it?

But he wasn't bitter. Not as much as he was before and it had a LOT to do with the girl standing near him.

Grayson glanced over at Ruby, the tiniest of smiles spreading across his lips. "C'mon," he said quietly, holding onto her hand and tugging her towards the Slytherin table, "Hope they have some freaking good food here." Not that he was particularly hungry, for once, but good food would still be welcomed with opening arms.

Reaching the table, the boy sat down, ignoring any and all people that were at the table already. Even ignoring everyone in the Great--

.......... And then someone was standing on a table and speaking to everyone in the Great Hall.

No. No. PHOENIX was standing on a table and speaking to everyone I the Great Hall.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! Oh MAN.

Nudging Ruby gently, he nodded over at the Gryffindor's direction and said, "Looks like someone's decided to go out with a bang."

Oh, there was a Dot! 'Sup nods for you, Dot Wojack.

[FearlessLeader19]

Next stop- the Snake Table! Did anyone order a Hufflepuff? Because Adi was HERE! How could he not be? There were so many awesome Snakes at Hogwarts. Speaking of asweome Slytherins...

"Grayson!'' Adi greeted enthusiastically and plopping down beside the older guy. "What's going on?'' He looked over in the direction that Grayson's attention was... O__O What was going on there?

The Hufflepuff started laughing as he surveyed the scene. Haha. How amusing. Oh... he hadn't noticed the younger girl (Dot) there. "Hi,'' Adi said to her.

[TeafortheSoul]

SPOILER!!: Grayson, Dot, and PHE OF COURSE, eep!

Girls were so complicated and he wasn’t sure what to do) out of his head, so he could focus on being fabulous. He was doing this for Ruby, mainly. He hadn’t been around to stand up for her at the opening feast, but he was here to make a statement now. About clothing regulations, uniform codes and so many detentions over the length of a skirt. It hadn’t crossed his mind, of course, that part of the detention thing might have been the cheek she’d given out, but that didn’t matter. Because here was Phoenix.

Wearing the exact same outfit Ruby had been wearing at the opening feast.

He braced himself in the entrance hall, sweeping his straightened (but already beginning to curl again) hair behind his shoulder and checking his lipgloss in a pocket mirror, then strutted into the Great Hall.

The skirt - though it fit Ruby - looked much shorter on Phoenix, thanks to his gangly sparrow legs (which he had shaved, by the way. He was all about the full effect.) And the shirt was not quite as filled at the front, but he had made sure to leave the exact same amount of buttons undone as Ruby had at the start of term, and his tie - the only item of clothing he was wearing that actually belonged to him and not Ruby - was loosely tied just below the last open button.

“Good evening Hogwarts!” he called, standing momentarily on the bench and twirling a little before he took his seat. A seat with a couple of empty ones next to it so he could sprawl a bit, showing off his lanky legs and the cute little shoes that went with this outfit.

The outfit that he kind of loved.

To be honest, there was no ‘kind of’ about it. He totally rocked this look.

It had been a tough couple of weeks. A tough term totally really, starting from the very first day when she'd bagged three months of detention and Bellaire had tried to shame her in front of the whole school, but these last few weeks? A different kind of stress really. She was glad to have hold of Gray's hand as they entered the great hall, and he was doing a lot to make her actually maybe think that the feast might be almost fun. Maybe. At least good company right?

"I'm sure no matter what it is, you'll eat it." Boys. Honestly. She smiled at him and then sat down next to him, eyeing the currently empty plates and hoping there would be some salad and not just heavy, starchy boy food.

She looked up at the nudging and glanced along the tables...


......Ruby gave Dot a little smile, but her attention was on...

PHOENIX!!!

Ruby covered her mouth in surprise. THAT WAS WHAT HE WANTED HER UNIFORM FOR?? Ruby lit up and hid a laugh with her hand and looked back at Grayson, eyes shining.

"He's doing that for me." Just... she wasn't really used to people making grand gestures for her? So. Wow. She laughed again. Ruby WOULD smack Phe on the behind if he made her tear up and streak her make-up though.

She giggled.

"I wonder if Bellaire has clocked him yet." She leaned forward and blew Phe a kiss, and mouthed thank you.

Oh, hello there. Dot climbed up on the bench and made her way down to sit near Mr. Grayson and Ruby, who was her favorite at the moment. Should she tell her? No. No no no. It was obvious.

"Mr. Grayson. You look dashing today."

The Hufflepuff started laughing as he surveyed the scene. Haha. How amusing. Oh... he hadn't noticed the younger girl (Dot) there. "Hi,'' Adi said to her.

There was a Hufflepuff here. Dot cocked her napkin crown over one eye and leaned way out over the table, putting her palms right in the middle of the table so she could look him in the eye.

"Hullo, Hufflepuff." He was only a BIT older than her, so not a baby Slytherin, but still. "Are you available for minioning?"

Quote:

"RUBY." Okay, she was done with her Hufflepuff minion for a moment, and her attention was back on her favorite. "Ruby Ruby Ruby. Look." Dot climbed over Grayson so she could be properly with Ruby, and then she closed her eyes slowly and deliberately.

Cat eyes. Just like she was supposed to have. And she'd also covered up most of her freckles with a nice disappearing potion, and she was a queen. Of the baby Slytherins. "You can wear my crown if you want."

[kayquilz]

Eden, was, of course, ignoring Phoenix. Okay. So maybe she had waved to him on the way here...BUT STILL. She was...she was not sure if she was upset with him...or what.

But whatever he had said to Clara had DEEPLY affected her best friend, and she SIIIIGHED as she had left her back at the table to come see some of her...slithery friends over here. Snake friends were....the best. Dead loyal, they were...mhmm. Regardless of their REPUTATIONS Eden enjoyed them. Yes. And MUCH less complicated than....*SQUINTS* Gryffindors.

Anyways.

AHEM.

She was here and now felt awkward and didn't know where to sit--WAS CUTTY HERE?!?!?! NO. She hid her disappointment well, and skipped over to Ruby and smiled at her PRETTY friend. "Hey, Rubes--" she said as she plopped down and shot a wave at Grayson. "And Gray--" he got a nod too. YEP YEP. "How's it going, though?" she asked Ruby, fluttering her eyelashes in a SIGNIFICANT way...like...you know..THINGS, RUBY.

AHEM, again.

Right.

She also smiled VERY nicely to the little snake because she was cute and had freckles and Eden liked the cute younger students. Like Maddie. OOOF Maddie. She was adorably wise.

[Jessiqua]

Zhenya was sad to be going home. She really didn't want to, which was funny. A few months ago when she was thrust back at Hogwarts, half way through the term mind you, she would have done anything to go home. Of course, she didn't want to be back after everything that had happened. But now? Well, now she didn't want to go home. She had told her mother not to pick her up from the station, she didn't want to see her family. She wanted to see her cousin, or her brother. Anyone else!

She sat down at the Slytherin table, taking an all the feelings around her. There were people excited to be going home, people who would be leaving Hogwarts for the last time… happiness and sadness, all in one.

[WeasleyGirl]

First year: DONE. Six more to go.

Hugo was beyond happy that he had finished his first year at Hogwarts, but at the same time he felt somewhat "sad". Oh well, on the bright side he was free from classes and home works for a while and on the other side he was going to miss the castle, especially the food.

The boy entered the Great Hall making his way to the Slytherin table and as he walked he noticed the seventh years with sadness all over their faces. He couldn't picture himself like that. Finally he reached his house table and sat down near some people who were already there.

[FearlessLeader19]

Minioning? O__O

What a weird question but Adi was amused. "Hello, Queen... or is it Princess?" He had noticed the girl's napkin crown. He decided to humour her. "It all depends,'' Adi replied seriously. "What does minioning entail?" The Puffer liked this girl already. "I'm Adi, by the way.'' If he was going to be her minion, might as well let her know his name, right?

Oh looky! "Zheya!'' Adi called to the girl the moment he had noticed her. Adi didn't know her that much but she was a pretty awesome person to have when working in a team. "How are you?" The fourth year smiled at the little firstie he noticed too (Hugo). He wasn't one of those rude kids...right?

[Hey Ju]

Agatha arrived in the Great Hall looking smug. Standing at the door for impact, she flipped her hair before marching towards the Slytherin table.

Only to see that annoying Hufflepuff ALREADY there.

The fourth year rolled her eyes and frowned at him. "Don't you have your own house table?" She snapped at Adi for no reason. No. She DID have a reason. WHY was he ALWAYS there? Go away, husband Hufflepuff. Same goes to you, Eden, though she didn't even look at the Ravenclaw because... she was a Ravenclaw. Urgh.

Whatever. She was in a GOOD mood that day and wouldn't let the silly Hufflepuff prefect ruin it. She decided to ignore all of the other people, mostly because they were surrounding stupid Grayson and she had no time for that rubbish. To think Ruby had almost been in her good books. Shame. Her way of ignoring them was obviously shooting Grayson a glare and raising an eyebrow at the younger snake (Dot) for having a napkin on her head. What was she trying to be, a bride? Trying to marry stupid Grayson?

Gross.

The ballerina then sat next to a random girl she didn't know (Zhenya) and studied her for a moment, wondering if it had been a good idea to sit there or not.

Zhenya heard her name being called by a familiar face. Turning around, she saw that it was Adi! "Hey Adi! I'm good, thanks. I don't really want to leave though. How are you? Excited to go home?" She figured most of her school mates were excited to be getting home. She was glad to have met Adi this year, he was super nice and made her feel really included.

Zhenya felt a presence next to her, so she turned to see who it was. Someone she had noticed in classes but, as far as she remembered, had never spoken to. She smiled at her and said "hi, excited to be leaving for the term?"

[Davvy_Wavvy]

Sophia had passed by the staff table..she had looked..and looked and decided that she felt the exact same way she did when the term started. She felt like sitting with her house.

So after a five minutes or less sat in her seat at the staff table Sophia made her way towards the Slytherin table and summoned her throne just as she had done months before, right at the head of the Slytherin table. Yep this was a good spot.

Also 100000 points for the headmistress with her handling of the miscreant.

He'd hardly done anything apart from sitting down and saying a thing or two to Rubes and he was ALREADY being called for? MAN. Talk about being POPULAR.

A slight raise to his ego, this was. And a raise to his mood, too, once he looked over to see what exactly was speaking to him. "'Sup, Adi! How's it going?" Long time no speak and whatnot. Where had he been hiding, eh?

Text Cut: Ruby!

She thought he'd eat it no matter what? What??!?!!!!! Grayson had every urge to ask her whether she thought he'd eat dragon dung for the sake of it but decided against it. You don't talk about dung at a FEAST. Jeez! "What? I'm a growing man." Man. MAN. Do you hear this, Vinnie 'but you're still a child' McFay? "Need my nutrients and whatnot to keep being this fantastic." Uh huh!

Ruby's response to the situation wasn't one he expected so, the Slytherin glanced in her direction and furrowed his eyebrows. "He's doing this for you? What do you mean?" Had Ruby asked him to wear a skirt for her or what? And if THAT was the case, could Grayson make requests too or what?

"Oh MAN, Bellaire's gonna KILL him. Pretty sure she'd risk Azkaban for this." And would probably get away with it too. He could see it. And he could also see........ "Looks like Truebridge got there first."

Dashing.

Not just pretty face or good looking.

FREAKING DASHING!

Oh man, if she was gonna keep on throwing him compliments like that, he might just keep her around. Ego boosting opportunities and whatnot. Speaking of, "You're doing a mighty fine job of boosting my ego, Miss Dot." SMIRK. "You don't look bad yourself. Ready for the summer?" Please tell him that she had exciting plans.

Text Cut: Eden!

The sound of another voice reaches his ears. A FAMILIAR voice. One that belonged to..........

........... Oh Eden!

"'Sup, Eden!" he called, smiling and waving back at her, "You alright?" Because he still remembered a conversation they had had not too long ago about things. And he was concerned, something he wouldn't admit it in a million years. It was like her finding out that he was sweet and whatnot. Reputation, man.

Whatever was going on between Ruby and Eden was missed by the boy because..........

Text Cut: XD Agatha! And small mention of Bellaire and Ruby at the end

.......... look what the wind blew in.

Lulz. Lulz forever.

A satisfied smirk spread across the fifth year's face as he watched her shooting a glare in his direction. He knew what happened the last time he pushed the girl's buttons until she exploded but he hadn't been the ONLY one to do so. Besides, it was fun! The girl's anger had only amused him up until she started attacking people.

JEEZ.

ANYWAYS. Agatha. Glaring.

His response? Making a kissy face in her direction. Juuuuuust becau--

Oh man. OH MAN. BELLAIRE was here? Sitting on her THRONE?! Grayson glanced over at Ruby to see how she was taking it. He knew far too well what had happened the last time these two crossed paths and as much as he liked seeing girls fight, he didn't want anything bad to happen. Nope. Luckily they were over at the other end of the table, eh?

Dot did NOT appreciate the look she was getting from Agatha, who had a head that was too big for her body. And not just in a 'huge Slytherin ego' way. She tilted her head and squinted at the older girl before deciding she didn't want her to be a minion.

Minions needed heads that fit through doorways.

"You have a booger hanging out of your nose. Right there," Dot pointed at her left nostril. "It's a super nasty one. Good on you!"

Dot grinned hugely. "Queen. Thank you for asking." She curtsied to the very polite minion who was now her favorite. "Basically, we hang out and you make sure we both always have enough lemonade. I want you to be happy too, because I'm a generous ruler."

She offered her hand to him. "I'm Dot. Well, Charlotte, but mostly Dot. Nice to meet you, Adi."

Eden noticed a younger student nearby and gave him a smile and a wave. "HI!" she said cheerfully--well--she was feeling happy, but...a bit...emotional, too so...Mhmm.

"Excited to be going home?" she asked, just trying to make conversation. Adorable. He was adorable. Why was Eden so drawn to the ickles? She just thought they were so ...innocent and cute, and she could possibly learn a lot from them. Different ways of thinking--not yet muddled by romance, or stupid teenage stuff--just simple, blunt, honest...nice.

SIGH.

Eden was having a...'I wish I wasn't growing up' moment...and eh.

SPOILER!!: Grumpy Agatha

And here she was.

The grump.

The grump that she...she had a secret concerning this grump, and she was trying her hardest NOT to reveal it with her features..but she couldn't help smirking SOOOO smugly at the slightly younger snake.

OOOHH Aggy. If ONLY you knew, child. "Hi, sweet little Agatha." Eden said sarcastically....so..

So maybe Eden wasn't going to BETRAY this secret, but it didn't mean she couldn't have FUN while doing so. HEHE. And Eden hardly felt the need to be snarky--so when it happened--she adored it. And Agatha wasn't always the NICEST to the Ravenclaw, so THERE.

SPOILER!!: GRAAY

Whatever was going on between Ruby and Eden was missed by the boy because..........

Eden ignored the arrival of Bellaire because the woman was scary and mean and Eden just..no. She wasn't going to give in to her attention. Whatever. Who she DID pay attention to, however, was GRAYSON.

HI GRAY.

He was sweet. She had SEEEEN the sweet side of Grayson, yes. His normal 'sup' had her giggling and she just winked. "I'm all right..yeah. Better." she said, very casually. She couldn't blow his reputation for being..NOT nice! "How about YOU?" she asked, leaning back in her chair and folding her arms across her chest, wigggggling her eyebrows at him. And not looking at Ruby.

Because she would start smirking and laughing a lot.

So yeah. Eyes on Grayson.

[pundantic]

Hugh liked to think that he was cool. But he also liked to think in general (big picture ideas, philosophy, what have you) and those two conflicting parts of himself did not make for one completely coherent person. Which meant he was prone to stumbling, bumbling and obliviousness.

WHICH ALSO MEANT that he hadn't gotten the memo that everyone got together for the final feast of the school year for some kumbaya thingy. Yo, he didn't KNOW, man.

SO when he wandered up to the Great Hall he was caught off guard by all the emotional-ness-ness that goodbyes were.

People were weeeeeeird. Couldn't they just eat without making it a thing?

[WeasleyGirl]

Hugo observed as the other were interacting, he only knew the little freckled girl who was crying at the beginning of the term, but the others....well, they hadn't had the chance to meet HIM.

One of the older students smiled at him and he did the same, "Hi" the first year simply said. Hugo noticed his robes, the boy was a Hufflepuff and a prefect. He had heard some conversations were people have said that they didn't like Hufflepuffs, he wondered why. He was about to ask it but someone else interrupted. It was a girl. "Umm...hello" she was happy and with all the sadness around the place, he felt a bit weird being greeted so cheerfully. "I guess you are not leaving Hogwarts...like the seventh years" or was she?

Again he noticed the robes. Ravenclaw. "Is that even a question? Of course! Can't wait to go back" Hugo said excited. He had missed his bed but yeah, he was going to miss Hogwarts. "And you...?" Unknown Ravenclaw girl "What's your name?" He asked curiously "I'm Hugo"

Professor Bellaire was here. Was she going to fight against their Head of House again? Because that was entretaining.

[Hey Ju]

"No, I don't!" Agatha frowned at the younger Slytherin (Dot) who said she had a booger in her nose! "How dare you!?" She squinted her eyes BACK because she wasn't afraid of a tiny little girl like her squinting her eyes. Hmph. Rude.

She looked away and ran her finger unde her nose just to make sure.

If only Agatha had waited until that Eden girl spoke to her before taking a seat, she would have pushed the girl's head down towards the table. The ballerina knew she was being sarcastic. Another rude person. Urgh, WHY WAS EVERYONE SO RUD-

GRRRRRRRR! Agatha could slam the plate right at stupid Grayson's face. If only she was sitting so far away from him and-

Professor BELLAIRE WAS THERE. YES!

Without answering the unkown girl who had spoken to her (Zhenya), the fourth year got up and was by their Transfiguration professor in a fraction of a second. "Hi, professor Bellaire! Welcome back to out table!" She beamed at the older witch, probably pushing a kid or two to the side and taking a seat on her right. This was finally going to be a good feast!

"It's going...awesome at the moment,'' the Puffer told Grayson as he continued to watch the entertainment at the Gryffindor table. He'd have to go over there for a closer look soon. "Awesome Gobstones shots, man. Too bad I tied things up with you for that match.'' The match where they'd scored exactly the same amount of points making them both Players of the Match.

Adi smiled broadly as he watched Agatha approach the Table. Her raction did not one bit surprise him. He pretended to be sad. "But I came here just to see you,'' he said in a depressed tone. "Wouldn't you rather I stay here?" Hehe. How Adi LOVED to tease Agatha! Let's face it... she made things a whole lot fun.

"I don't want to leave either,'' the Hufflepuff replied to Zhenya. "It's been a good year... apart from all the fairy tale madness...'' Even though a lot of the times the 'characters' made things quite fun. "But I'm looking forward to going home at the same time." Was that weird? Anyway... "Doing anything in particular over the summer?'' Cos Adi was always interested to hear what his friends were up to.

Adi had been spot on when he thought he liked this girl. He stood up and with just a huge grin on his face like hers, he bowed. Hehe. Playing along was fuuuuun. So, basically he would be like her servant or something? Oh who cared? She did sound like a generous ruler. "Nice to meet you too, Queen Dot. I'm up for minioning.'' Grin. When did he start?

"You're a firstie, right?'' Adi asked Hugo. Or at least he was since the school year was almost done. "Enjoyed your first year here?'' Hopefully the fairy tale happenings hadn't dampened the boy's spirit of the school.

Her mood had taken a different route when she ran across an extremely interesting fellow as he left and she entered the Great Hall. Phoenix Toros. Ha! Entertainment at its finest. That had provided a laugh...it felt nice to laugh. And so as she made her way toward the Slytherin table not scowling.

Permanent scowl gone. For today. Maybe just right now. Who knows how long it'd last.

There was a Ruby, she received a greeting nod and a small grin. Grayson, though, he got a tiny thump on the warm and a smirk. Heh. He should be used to her greeting, yeah?

Moving along, Beverly made her way toward Agatha and took the seat next to her. Shoo, people. She was sitting here.

The look on her friend's face brought a smirk to Beverly's. "Your face is going to get stuck that way if you glare at everything." Beverly smiled angelically, teasing.

Thinking about it, when hasn't Agatha NOT glared at something or someone?

THERE WAS AN ADITYA.

Her excitement levels for when she saw the guy were incomprehensible. Fortunately, to her advantage, she didn't SHOW said excitement. Beverly simply shot him a wiggly finger wave and a small grin.

Turning her attention toward the end closest to her, she held in a smirk. Bellaire. If Healer Murdoch were to see...she wouldn't be all to happy, yeah? Where was her Head of House, anyway?

Also, was Agatha kissing butt? Hehe. That Snake.

"Good evening, Professor Bellaire." Polite nod and all, even if she was possibly internally fangirling the Transfiguration professor. She admired strong female figures. Bellaire was definitely one of them.

Zhenya's mouth dropped open. HOW RUUUUDEE?? Some people just shouldn't… UGH whatever. She could just… walk away. See if Zhenya cared. She didn't. Hmmph… see, this was the little Slytherin NOT caring.

Oh, but she was lonely. She wanted to blow this Rudie Prudie a raspberry but she didn't. She was going to sit with the Professor, Professor Belaire. Hmmph.

OOC: LOL !!!!!11eleven

Zhenya nodded frantically. "I KNOW! What was with that? I WISH I had been there to see Professor Cassie as the Queen. What was THAT like?" she asked, perhaps a little too excited. She felt like she had missed out on most of the excitement surrounding the book, but was actually really glad she wasn't affected by it. She could understand what Adi was saying, it was good being at Hogwarts with all your friends and magic and wands, but at the same time, it was good being at home with your own stuff; books and… stuff, and family and muggle friends. "I'm spending the summer with my brother, actually!" She was really excited about that, "He's married now and I didn't… get to go to the wedding, and he also has a son! I get to meet his family," that was cool, she was really excited but really nervous too. "And I'm visiting a friend in Seattle. How about you?"

Cat eyes. Just like she was supposed to have. And she'd also covered up most of her freckles with a nice disappearing potion, and she was a queen. Of the baby Slytherins. "You can wear my crown if you want."

Ruby looked back towards her own housemates now that Phe had left the Great Hall and all the crazy over there had died down. She smiled a teeny bit less brightly than usual but let out a small noise of approval. "Oh you did a good job, it suits you. I sorrrt of miss your freckles though, but I guess its nice to sometimes not have them, right?" Onnnly sometimes? Like Ruby thought playing them up would be much much better. Make the most of what you have and all that.

Crown though? Ummmm.... she shook her head. She'd had enough of makeshift crowns at Hogwarts feasts. "You wear it, doll." Ruby said with forced cheer. This was a good distraction from what was really bothering her, actually.

"Hey, Rubes--" she said as she plopped down and shot a wave at Grayson. "And Gray--" he got a nod too. YEP YEP. "How's it going, though?" she asked Ruby, fluttering her eyelashes in a SIGNIFICANT way...like...you know..THINGS, RUBY.

"Hey Ede!" Ruby said, again with just a touch of the forced about her enthusiasm. She wrinkled her nose at the Ravenclaw. Yes we see those looks. Noooo they aren't necessary. Nooo. Please thank youuu. "Can't wait to get home, you know?"

Her way of ignoring them was obviously shooting Grayson a glare and raising an eyebrow at the younger snake (Dot) for having a napkin on her head. What was she trying to be, a bride? Trying to marry stupid Grayson?

Gross.

Yeah you know who else had aaaalmost been in good books? As in Ruby's? Agatha. For like five minutes. Ruby totally didn't have any intention of worrying over it though, she'd made plenty of effort with the fourth year, so whatevs.

And for the RECORD, Ruby wasn't surrounding Graaayson, he was sitting with HER. Or at least that was what Ruby would make clear if she could read the younger snake's mind.

Which she didn't care to because like honestly, that girl had the biggest stick up her...

So after a five minutes or less sat in her seat at the staff table Sophia made her way towards the Slytherin table and summoned her throne just as she had done months before, right at the head of the Slytherin table. Yep this was a good spot.

Also 100000 points for the headmistress with her handling of the miscreant.

.... Ruby felt her stomach flip over uncomfortably. Was it seriously too much to hope that the transfiguration professor would sit with the other staff members instead of down here acting like she was their head of house when she totally wasn't? Like ugh, was it her life's work to harass people? Well Ruby was wearing her robes over her uniform today, all buttoned up too. Nothing to see over here.

You don't talk about dung at a FEAST. Jeez! "What? I'm a growing man." Man. MAN. Do you hear this, Vinnie 'but you're still a child' McFay? "Need my nutrients and whatnot to keep being this fantastic." Uh huh!

Ruby's response to the situation wasn't one he expected so, the Slytherin glanced in her direction and furrowed his eyebrows. "He's doing this for you? What do you mean?" Had Ruby asked him to wear a skirt for her or what? And if THAT was the case, could Grayson make requests too or what?

"Oh MAN, Bellaire's gonna KILL him. Pretty sure she'd risk Azkaban for this." And would probably get away with it too. He could see it. And he could also see........ "Looks like Truebridge got there first."

Oh man. OH MAN. BELLAIRE was here? Sitting on her THRONE?! Grayson glanced over at Ruby to see how she was taking it. He knew far too well what had happened the last time these two crossed paths and as much as he liked seeing girls fight, he didn't want anything bad to happen. Nope. Luckily they were over at the other end of the table, eh?

Grayson got a slightly distracted smile and there was a slight delay before Ruby squared her attention on him. "Mhmm, and I know that for a fact!" The growing thing. The man thing. All the things. His great big, ever expanding ego needed feeding too, and Ruby was usually pretty willing to oblige, even if it was coming a little bit forced today.

But he knew why that was, and at least she was trying.

And the Phe thing... she shot a glance all the way down the table towards Bellaire... and then back at Grayson. "He's doing it because of what happened at the beginning of term." Like double standards, her being picked on for her uniform... all those things.

Grayson was there. And he knew how it had all played out and how she felt about it. She gave him a small smile. Yeah she was okay. Just one more thing to punctuate everything else going on, right? She leaned against him a teeny bit and mentally gave herself a pep talk. Not much more to get through. The feast. The train. And then... that other thing.

Bev got a little finger waggle wave in return and then Ruby sort of zoned out for a little bit, startled back into awareness by the sudden appearance of food, since the speech had happened or whatever. Everything looked distinctly unappealing though. Not that there was anything wrong with any of it... She poured herself a fresh glass of water and tried to not to breathe too deeply. Maybe salad?
