Penny walked into the Great hall in a sort of trance, having just spent the last three hours in the library doing her Arithmancy homework, her brain felt like mulch.. and her tummy rumbling with hunger... Not really looking were she was going but knowing she was at the Hufflepuff table, she sat down... then surfacing from her trance like state - realised that she was sitting next to a boy, a first year boy by the looks of him.. Noticing him trying to reach for the cheese plate but not getting there, Penny lifts the plate and leaves it in front of the boy..."there you go..... I'm Penny by the way, I think i've seen you around in the common room" Then, with great gusto, munches into her dinner of lamb chops, roasted potatoes carrots & peas "ohh wow... this is divine" she says, to no-one in particular...relishing the delicious food...:woot: |

Penny smiled as the boy offered the plate of cheese back, she took it and placed it in the middle of the table, so both of them could reach it... Then swallowing a potato, thinking he was very sweet, but seemed nervous...Hi Ian, how are you liking Hogwarts? are you enjoying your classes so far?" |

Oh lord the boy was choking on his dinner, red in the face, almost not breathing....careful not to talk to him again until his mouth was empty !!! "Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry....are you ok?"...Penny couldn't believe her bad luck, she meets a nice boy and then he almost chokes to death - "wow this is gonna be a long year" thinking to herself... |
Ian looks up at her question about his health and takes in a deep breath before looking down to exhale. Important not to breathe in someone's face "I-i-i-I think so. He says. I-I-I'm Ian, and yes...so far I like it. He takes a moment to glance at her again before looking down. Before he does, he smiles and tries to continue the process of regaining his breath. |

Penny was relieved Ian was ok, but got the impression that either he really didn't want company or he was so shy he didn't want to talk.. but how was a muggleborn like herself ever going to meet people if she didn't talk to them... maybe she would let him make the next move toward conversation - she didn't want to be pushy !! so she reached for the teapot and poured herself a steaming mug of tea....thinking to herself,"Uhm, tea was the answer to everything" in her opinion, well at least after 6pm. Then deciding that a chocolate eclair was her well deserved treat for a hard days study !!! |

Penny was just about to bite into her eclair, when she felt Ian tap her on her shoulder....Looking around, she saw the sugar bowl in his hand...she smiled at him, "he's making an effort to be friendly" she thought.. |
When she looked in his direction, he tentatively offered. Would you like sugar? I don't take my tea with sugar, but I know some do. He hoped it was enough of a gesture to keep the chat going. He certainly needed to meet someone. |
Quote:
"oh yes please", taking the sugar bowl offered with a smile... then saying, I think your taking a couple of the classes that i'm in..Muggle Studies and Divination...I'm totally lost in Arithmancy & Ancient Runes, but at least I'll know what the Professor is talking about in Muggle Studies.." she said with a smile..."how about you Ian, how are you fixed?" |

"Sorry, I mean, How are you doing with the other subjects that are more magical, you know...like Potions and Transfiguration and Care of Magical Creatures?" She liked talking to him, but if she didn't move soon she would seize up..putting down her empty mug.. "I was thinking of taking a walk for some fresh air, maybe down to the Quidditch pitch or the lake - would you care to join me?" |
Quote:
He nodded at her request, happy to be invited somewhere besides the basement or huffie common room. Y-y-yes. I'd like that very much. He hadn't really taken the chance to explore yet. |
Quote:
"Cool, maybe we could go down the pitch, we can watch some team try-outs... I can pick up some pointers from watching the others fly!!... have you played any quidditch or watched any yet? " |
Ian nodded at Penny. He wasn't sure what to make of her, but she was pleasant and certainly he was happy to have someone to talk to. He felt like he'd been a wallflower since the boats had dropped them off and he'd been sorted. He was still trying to figure out how he fit here. He certainly didn't fit in back home. Th-th-that would be nice. I've not watched any yet. Not sure what quidditch is. |
Quote:
Penny smiled at him, "Well maybe you can pick up some hints while we're there too, it's a wizard sport played on broomsticks and goals are scored through fifty foot hoops at either end of the pitch, 7 players on each team..A seeker, A keeper, 2 beaters and 3 chasers - i can let you borrow my 'Quidditch through the Ages' to read" Penny rose from the table and began to walk to the doors which led out to the grounds and down to the quidditch pitch.... |
Ian listened attentively as she gave her description of the wizard sport. When she offered her book, he nodded. Th-th-that would be nice, thank you. As she got up to leave, he grabbed a pear, placed it in his pocket and followed her, hoping she knew where she was going. ooc: go ahead and post in another place if you like, so we aren't stuck in the hall forever. :P |

She shook her head. "No. We always had a really good relationship, which is why this makes it so hard for me to forgive him." Mia picked up her juice and took another sip, her mind drifting off for a moment. Maybe Nik was right. Maybe she did need to sit down with her father and talk to him. Turning back to Matty, Mia gave him a smile. "So where do you plan on taking Marie for your first date?" Yep total change of subject. Hopefully Matty will take her cue and go with it. |
*Giving her a raised eyebrow look he smiled but thought better of pursuing the conversation. By the sudden change in subject he went along with her and asked.* "I was hoping you could help me there. I've never really been in a relationship... or on a date..." *If anyone knew about Matty's lack of dating it was Mia and he knew that he could trust her to not poke fun at him about.* |
Mia almost dropped her glass of juice in total astonishment. He was asking her? About dating? She couldn't help but chuckle as she placed her glass back onto the table. "You do realise that I am not the most convential type of girl. Nik and I didn't exactly do things, the normal way I suppose you could say." And no she wasn't going into it. "Well let me start by saying that it's not the place that makes the date but the two people involved. Personally, I find the simple things the best. Like a simple picnic by the lake or in the gardens or stargazing at night. But that's just me." She was probably confusing the crap out of him now. "What do you think Marie would like? |
"Yes I realize but you are pretty much the closest friend/girl I know." *He chuckled a little at her shock but shrugged as he thought about it. Hmm...* "Well for her birthday I made a sort of picnic in the gardens at my uncles but it ended up raining so we had to end it... I could say that I am sort of re-doing that day. Or would that be... stupid?" |
"Well the sentiment is there." How did she become the relationship expert again? "But wouldn't you rather do something different? Nik and I, when we're able to get together, are always doing something new and different. There was this one time when we cooked a meal together. It was just a simple thing but it brought us even closer together." If that was even possible. "I got to see how patient he really is and how tender he can be. And he got to see how much mess I can make in a kitchen." She gave him a wink and then burst out laughing. |
"Mia my cooking skills are horrid... from what I hear they make you look like a world famous chef." *Matthias smirked and picked up a muffin to munch on.* "Would that be a good thing for a first date though?" |
