Large quantities of food are spread before you. Whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the Hogwarts' house elves are the best in the world. The food is superb and the company is as well.
The house poem, penned by All4oliverwood:
Get up off of your seats
Ready for some fun?
You ain't seen nothin' yet
For this years just begun
Friends are rollin' in
It's faces old and new
Nothing comes between us
Dear Gryffindors be true
Outside of the castle
Ready for things to fly
Lions are soaring strong
In a game that's do or die
On this autumn night
Near the crimson fireplace
Solid friendships forming
People so full of grace
Rockin' the competition
In a race for the house cup
Doing everything we can
Earning points to keep us up
Reeling for a win
Us Lions gettin' it done
Loyality guiding us through
Everyone working as one
Taylor lowered her head and let a smile grow on her face though she tried to cover it with her cup, pretending to take a sip of her drink. When Maxwell said the second part, Tay raised her eyes but not her head and glanced at him with her eyebrows raised in a little bit of a questioning and curiously look. She was cautious though and so she didn't say anything. Taylor wanted to see what he did and wondered if he would take her silence as a go ahead.
"My mother married an evil muggle man just before i was born and tricked the both of us into believing i was his son, i have two sisters Tabatha and Kim. I live with them and my Mum at my Grandparents mansion in London, where my father also lives but i have to pretend daily that i don't know him or know of him." Maxwell paused to sip some pumpkin juice. "I'm studying to become an Animagus which i've already said. You know about my current girlfriend, the first girl i ever really liked vanished last summer and broke my heart after we had spent all year together, she was my best friend and the first person i kissed and i have no idea if she's alive. Also since she left i can't produce the ball of light that was my attempt at a patronus.." Maxwell took a deep breath. "Now you pretty much know most of what there is to know about me."

Taylor almost let another smile spread when he started talking about himself. She listen to him talk and was frowning not realizing she was showing any emotion. When he finished, her hand was trembling and the liquid was threatening to spill out of her cup. Tay sat the cup down and almost reached for his hand again to give him a sympathy squeeze but stop herself when it started to move, trying to pretend that she was moving her hand to her hair. "I....I..." She didn't know what to say so she took a deep breathe and tried again, "I am sorry to hear that." Her face was completely full of genuine sympathy toward him.

"Don't be, It's life. We move on and we become stronger for it. We make new memories to base or Patronus off of." Maxwell said in a very collected way. "My past is nothing but a story now, not that i don't care about it, but i know where to leave it. If i carried it with me everywhere how would i continue?" Maxwell shrugged. "I'm not gonna lie to you i've spent plenty of nights this last summer trying to distract myself from thinking of Josie by reading an Animagus book or exploring Diagon Alley but until i let it out and talked about it i couldn't get over losing her, or any of the things that have happened to me." Maxwell felt weird saying Josie's name, he hadn't said it in ages and it felt weird in his mouth.

Taylor lowered her eyes down again. She thought about what he said and was finding it hard to not agree with him. Tay tried to sigh as quietly as she could but figured he probably heard it since he picks up on a lot of things. She asked quietly, "Isn't it suppose to get easier not harder to get distracted?" Taylor wasnt exactly looking for an answer but she wouldnt reject to listening to one. Tay wasnt sure who Josie was but didnt want to ask about her just in case he didnt want to ask. She was pretty sure he didnt mention her before but he could of mentioned her before and she could of missed it.

"Once you get it all out, yes it does get easier. After that was the only time i could move on with my life. For the things my mother's husband did to me i wasn't over it until i spoke to Josie about it and with Josie i talked to my friend Jordan. The point it you're never going to get over anything if all you do is bottle it up."

Taylor listen and after he said the point is part, she opened up a little by saying, "I used to be able to talk to my twin about this sort of stuff, but now i barely see her let alone talk to her with is weird since we have classes together and have the same house and year." She sighed a little bit, "We used to talk everyday, we talked more when we were in different schools than we do now.... I miss our connection." Tay frowned and looked away, not knowing why that came out but felt slightly better because of it.

"Why don't you tell her that?" Maxwell said with a gentle smile "I'm sure she misses you too." then Maxwell laughed "You can just tell her some crazy Gryffindor boy, whose girlfriend you may or may not be jealous of" He said bringing up their older conversation and trying to make her laugh. "told you to talk to her and tell her that you miss her."

Taylor looked away, "Wish that it was that easy but it isnt." She frowned but looked back at him, laughing when he joked and brought up the older conversation, "That is still in debate." Tay smirked at him, teasing him. Taylor knew that she wasn't...... too jealous of his girfriend. She liked Maxwell as a sort of friend but couldnt imagine him as even a best friend like she could Logan who made her laugh and forget about things but wasnt too good at telling things to.... though he always made her laugh and smile..... but only as a friend of course. No boy has her eye now.

"Sure it is." He said sarcastically when she said it was still in debate. "What makes it so complicated? there's a curfew and you Ravenclaws never do anything fun like sneak out so talk to her then!" Maxwell said as if he got an idea and someone had turned on a light bulb

"Oh it is." She smirked but her smirk died away when he brought back the twin thing, "Oh we do nothing fun?" Tay laughed but that also died down, "Still not going to be easy. She has been avoiding me and i have no clue what i have done." Taylor was tracing her necklace design that her twin had given her.

"I'm sure it's a very difficult debate." Maxwell said with a smirk back. "Nope, My mum's a Ravenclaw... She's boring." He said laughing. "Do you want me to talk to her? I don't mind seeming like a crazy person, I can be very persuasive." He said looking devilishly.

"Oh a very difficult one indeed.... though i believe my not jealous arguement is winning." Tay smirked, "Oh your mom was a ravenclaw? Cool." She smiled and laughed, "Oh but trust me.... not all Ravenclaws are boring." Her smirk deepen and her eyes twinkled with mischief but that all faded away again when he brought up Trinity again, "You want to talk to her? Go ahead, doubt she would listen to you anyways." Taylor took a sip of her drink.

"Well, i'm sure that will change!" Maxwell said flashing his most charming smile. "Yeah, and i'm pretty sure i've never heard of any ravenclaw having as much fun as a Gryffindor." His eyes filled with just as much mischief. "All right, i'll speak to her and make her listen to reason." He said seeming very determined.

"Oh it will? I don't think so." She laughed. "Oh really? I would have to change that then." Tay smirked, "You do that and get her to talk to me again and you will be my new favorite gryffindor." She chuckled and still smirking said, "Won't Logan be jealous that he will get demoted to second favorite." Tay had no clue if he knew Logan or not. She looked around and realized that why her and Maxwell were talking, her gryffindor friends whom was the only reason she was over here were all gone. Taylor was a little surpised but shrugged and looked back at Maxwell.

"Yes, it will." Maxwell said confidently. "I've never failed at anything, ever and i will succeed at this." His finger pointing in the air. "I'm not already your favorite?" Maxwell asked jokingly.
"Yes, it will." Maxwell said confidently. "I've never failed at anything, ever and i will succeed at this." His finger pointing in the air. "I'm not already your favorite?" Maxwell asked jokingly.
"Oh really?" Tay asked then the he never failed thing she replied, "Want to bet about this then?" She teased. Taylor laughed and smiled. About the favorite thing she said, "Oh no sorry but a monkey is my favorite right now." She chuckled, and figured he wouldn't get the inside joke since it was between her and Logan, "But like i said, you will be my favorite if you do that miracle." Tay smirked.

"Yes, although i do not gamble. Not that i fear losing but that it's not very gentlemanly." Maxwell said smiling. "I don't recall seeing any monkeys around although there are a few goofy firsties." Maxwell said now laughing. "I've never preformed a miracle but i will do my best"

Taylor laughed, "And neither do i, since it isn't very lady-like as well." She smiled and took a sip, letting her pinky stick up, mocking the snooty ladies trying to get him to laugh. "Oh there is one monkey running around here." Her eyes twinkled in humor b ut not saying what exactly she means She didnt even realize he was getting her to relax and show emotion a lot.

Maxwell laughed as Tay held up her pinky, he was taking a sip of his pumpkin juice at the moment and it was threatening to go down the wrong tube, but he kept it in line. "I'm sure there is!" Maxwell said agreeing and mainly because he wasn't sure what he was talking about. "So if you could pick any animal for your Patronus to be what would it be?"

"Oh there is." She laughed and to answered his question she replied, "A dove......" Tay reliazed what she said so she quiclly thought of a different animal, "I mean a crow.......... or raccoon...... what about you?"

"I don't know, something crafty but tough since it'll more than likely be my Animagus form. Like maybe a Wolf, or a Fox"
Her eyes never left Kurumi after she apologized. Frankly, she was terrified of the Gryffindor at the moment. Her, admittedly pretty, eyes had turned not so pretty. Black.
What the hell did black mean?!
It COULDN'T be good. Ellie felt that if she ever looked away, Kurumi'd attack in a split second. And Kurumi was smart. She actually reads books and the like. She probably knew way more spells than Ellie did. Despite her OWL score, she's really only mastered about three offensive spells. And maybe two defensive ones. So...
Treyen's words were clearly heard, but gone unacknowledged. That is, until he spoke what she was already thinking. It wasn't necessary, really, for him to state it. Because now it felt as if she were being kicked out. But it really was the best idea at the moment, wasn't it? And he understood that she had wanted to talk. 'Had' being the keyword because she was fairly scared of having this 'talk' with him now.
Ellie nodded again, and began backing up, eyes on Kurumi. When she reached her personal 'safe distance', the same she used for books and spiders and other things scary, she turned and left.
She'll be....find-able.

When Treyen spoke again, her head snapped around to face him, and her expression was a mixture of emotions that were all masked by the darkness of her eyes. She didn't want to be in HERE, that was for sure, but going to the Healer was also not an appealing notion since she was pretty sure that that woman had daggers for her based on what had been said in the nursery.
Still, anywhere was better than here, and the Gryffindor nodded. "Just get me out of here..." she whimpered. And yes, the Healer was probably the best place to go right now.
Ellie was now out of the Great Hall...and why did he have the feeling that soon, both he and Kurumi will be out of this place as well?
In all honesty, her dark eyes worried him even more, perhaps it was better if someone with more knowledge in magic were to take care of the Gryffindor Prefect, right? Yes. And when Kurumi spoke next, he knew where he had to go.
The Healer.
Never mind the fact that Kurumi didn't mention anywhere specific. That's where they were heading.
Right now, all he'd do will be...helping her get there, surely his arm will be enough support. "Come." And she still hadn't eaten.
nice lol Elizabeth's is a dove and that is why tay changed her answer lol

Tay laughed, "I can see your form as that." She nodded, "You do seem very crafty and tough. I know for sure you are persistent." Taylor smirked and sipped her drink.
