Dima might have been dying a little. Tobias was a FANTASTIC unicorn, and he clapped and cheered and giggled uncontrollably at the show, a little bit of pre-potion Dima poking through his arrogant facade. But when Toby finally made it around and back to them... welp. His turn. Chicken dance time.

SO here he went. Dima cleared a bit of space on the table by pushing cutlery and plates side, then climbed onto it. Obviously, a performer such as himself deserved a stage.

And then he began to dance like a chicken. Limbs bent at awkward angles, arms flapping like wings, chicken noises coming out of his mouth like there was no tomorrow. This was beautiful, was it not? "Ba-KAAAAAAAAWK." Behold, peasants, DIMA TOUSSAINT, the most glorious farm animal in all the land.

He got down a few minutes later.

Owned that, yo.

As always, Nicole woke up early in the morning. She attempted to go back to sleep because it was a weekend and weekends were for some extra rest. But she was thirteen and thirteen-year-olds were naturally active. After a long period of shifting around in her bed, she finally gave up trying to sleep. She got dressed in her school uniform, swung her bag onto her shoulder and headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast.

It was a chilly February morning. Nicole hugged herself as she took a seat in the middle of the Ravenclaw House Table. She filled her plate with waffles and bacons, mentally calculating the calories she would be gaining. She pulled a book out from her bag, but remembered her parents' disapproval about reading during meals. Nicole put the book back into her bag and took a bite of her waffle.

Evie woke up early, which was odd. But she couldn't fall back asleep because her stomach kept growling and she was nearly dreaming about the food that was waiting for her downstairs. So, she dragged herself out of bed, put on a comfy pair of sweats and a tshirt and shuffled herself down the hall, the stairs, and into the great hall.

Spotting a younger housemate of hers, Evie sat down across from her. "Morning Nicole," she said as she started to pile on food to her plate. Waffles, bacon, fruit, eggs. Everything. She didn't know the younger girl very well, but it was always better to sit with someone during meals.

Nicole looked up as she sensed somebody, or something walking towards the Ravenclaw house table. Hey, she was improving in this 'constant vigilance' thing. However, this was not a time to defend herself and attack, as the person who sat down across from her an older Ravenclaw Evie, somebody who she could trust even though they did not know each other well.

"Good morning, Evie," she replied with a smile. "How are you doing?" Nicole was glad Evie was sitting with her because although she did not mind being alone, it felt kind of strange sometimes. She ate a piece of bacon and looked at the older girl.

"'m hungry," she said before stuffing a bite of fruit and waffles into her mouth. Evie wasn't always the most ladylike when she was hungry, but at least she chewed with her mouth closed. Her mum had taught her well, but she had gotten her appetite from her father. Her brother had the same problem, but they all had fast metabolism, so she was okay.

Evie swallowed the bite and dabbed a napkin at her mouth. "How are you?" she asked in return. She must be pretty good now because she had bacon. Bacon fixed everything.

Eden needed lunch. LUNCH WAS HAPPENING NOW. She was taking a study break...and...well yeah.

Where was the pumpkin juice? Did they have just like, simple sandwiches here? She was in the mood for sandwiches. Leaning back in her chair, she crossed her arms over her chest. Her brain was still buzzing from studying and fhruifheiughg. She honestly couldn't wait until summer. The internship...and Greece with Phe..and even the school trip seemed fun. EEEE. So much would happen!

WHY WASN'T IT HERE YET?

Layla was never the type to get typically hungry. She was very particular with what she wanted to eat and that made dining in the Great Hall with the humongous feasts and the fatty puddings a tedious task. Yet today she had that ominous twitch in her stomach that commanded her she'd better eat. It wasn't like there was anyone up in her dorm anyway. The room was eerily silent.

She headed down to the hall with the intention to just pick on something remotely healthy and preferably raw. She walked straight towards the Ravenclaw table expecting to sit alone as she most often did unless Bambi could prise herself away from studying or Eden wasn't off somewhere with one of her many friends. And speaking of the latter, it didn't take Layla five seconds to spot her beloved dormmate sat at the table on her lonesome.

She plonked her skinny tall body next to her, offering a rare half-smile. "I told you it would be impossible for me to completely abandon you" she spoke softly.

Eden finally spotted a plate nearby with a scrumptious looking sandwich--which she grabbed and pulled towards her. It reminded her of a picnic...hmm. She'd have to ask Phe if he wanted to have a picnic soon. It would be sweet and cute and they could be all...coupley outside. Hehe. It sounded like fun.

She looked up when she heard Lay's voice and smiled a little. She hugged her sideways and KISSED her cheek. "Hiiiiii." She said softly, grabbing a goblet of water nearby. "I know, I know. Just don't forgeeeet about me, okay?" she asked, raising an eyebrow before taking a huge gulp of water--too MUCH--and she was suddenly CHOKING--OH DEAR WAS THIS THE END?!?!?! HER LIFE WAS FLASHING BEFORE HER EYES AND WATER HAD SPLIT ALL DOWN HER FRONT--

And then, the choking subsided, and Eden, eyes watering, breathed heavily.."Well..I ...almost died."

O___O

It didn't take Eden long to discover who it was that had come to join her at the table. To be honest the pair had spend nearing two years in the same dorm together and Layla would probably be able to identify her merely by a strand of her hair. She was eying the food before her and settled in grabbing an apple from the fruit bowl in the centre. She took a small bite before placing it down on the table to speak with her friend.

“I don't think there's any chance in this world that you’d LET me forget about you.” Eden was clingy, she was one of the few people that could be clingy with her and Layla wouldn't abandon her completely. The blonde didn't really do physical affection, she rarely hugged unless she was completely comfortable with the other person. Therefore the brunette was lucky. “And I ain't goin’ to either” Her dormmate meant something to her.

And then she started choking. The seventeen year old stared at her as she deliberated what exactly she was supposed to do. She patted her on her back in an attempt to help before she stopped with the coughing. Thank goodness. “Bit dramatic, Eden”. She was glad she was okay though.
