For those who belong in Gryffindor House, on the left side of the Great Hall is where your table awaits. Red banners containing an embroidered golden lion float above the polished table in honour of the brave Godric Gryffindor. Already placed on the tables are silver plates with accompanying cutlery and goblets. All that is missing right now are the mountains of food and pitchers containing your favourite beverages.
Though your stomach might be growing as you take a seat on one of the long benches next to the table, it is important to not get hangry -- gnawing your arm away or jabbing your fork repeatedly on the surface of the table will do no good whatsoever. Give everyone some time to get settled in and wait for Headmaster Trent to deliver his speech. Keep yourself preoccupied by catching up with your fellow housemates or those who are visiting from the other tables until it is time to sink your teeth into the hearty and delicious meal prepared by the house-elves.

Had Toddles just stomped away?! UH.
Lucas felt awkward. Very awkward. He didn't know why but he felt an uncomfortable feeling settle down in the pit of his stomach and it had everything to do with...... the house elf. Not that the house elf had DONE anything but the reaction...... well, it didn't sit well with him. Not at all.
It was probably because of this that he was silently relieved when the new Headmaster stood up to make an announcement. Green eyes focused on him, even if his brain was..... well, all over the place. He didn't really know how to feel about the new Headmaster. See, he SEEMED okay enough but that's what he thought about the previous Headmaster as well and look what happened there.
What was worse was that there was a bunch of other new Professors as well, which made this second year frown slightly. It meant a bunch of new faces to get used to and listen to and hope weren't going to make him do pushups during the-
..........
UH. Did he just mention being carried away and wishing you were EATEN, instead?!
Lucas gulped. Not going in there. Nope nope nope nope nope. Don't need to tell HIM twice. He hardly paid attention to anything else the new Headmaster was going on about - classes, catching up, FRIENDS - because now, he was just thinking about the forbidden forest and why it was in a school in the first-
Oh, would you look at that? The food is here!
A smile suddenly appeared on his face, especially when he saw all that chicken. He piled his plate up with plenty of those drumsticks, and some, uh, vegetables because his mama and...... oh! Pumpkin juice! Needed some of that as well. He poured himself a healthy portion of that too and started taking a few sips, you know, to get himself ready for the foo..... oo......
..........
.......... oh.
Something felt..... weird. Odd. This pumpkin juice was really nice, wasn't it? Better than nice. It was a lot tastier than normal and maybe that's why..... that's why....... he wasn't hungry anymore??? Yeah. But he didn't understand. Lucas looked down at the drumsticks that he'd piled onto his plate that looked so delicious but he...... didn't want to eat them? Not anymore.
Confused, he looked up at the person sitting closest to him to say this to - because he could tell them about, uh, this - when-
...........
Oh.
Oh.
His eyes widened again and he could hear his heartbeat racing a million miles a minute but, for once, it wasn't because he was nervous. Well, he might've been nervous, he still felt something weird in his tummy, but this felt different. A lot different. And he had eyes for one person and one person only.
Before he could stop himself, he reached up a hand and gently touched Józef's hair. Those soft, silky locks. The way his eyes shone when he was talking about Quidditch. That soft, dreamy face. He was....... perfect.

headmaster's speech and *ahem* pumpkin juice with a healthy dollop of Zoryn
astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf
Oh...dragon dung.
It had not been Derf's intention to be over HERE when the Headmaster was giving his speech, but it would be more rude to scurry back over to his own table in the middle of it. So the seventh year plopped himself beside Zoryn for the time being with the toad in left hand. Lifting up the goblet of pumpkin juice in front of him with the other hand at the speech's conclusion, which he supposed was uplifting in its own righ, Derf raised his goblet like he had observed his dad doing at Ministry functions aaaaall the way back to when he was just in diapers in acknowledgement and cheers before swiveling around to look at his friend. "To our final term at Hogwarts, yeah?" he grinned at Zoryn and dinked his goblet against hers before drinking deeeeeeeeeply from it.
He drank about half of it, apparently more thirsty than he had previously thought, before setting the goblet back down on the table and then felt his stomach give a series of uncomfortable flips before it settle on a surreal floaty feeling. But then the floaty feeling expanded and he almost felt like he had eaten nine boxes of Fizzing Whizbees because HE was on Cloud Nine right now....simply because he had the distinguished privilege of sitting next to Zoryn Spinnet. Being able to gaze upon Zoryn Spinnet. Breathe the same air as Zoryn Spinnet. Being a best friend to Zoryn Spinnet and, hopefully, soon to be more than just friends.
Heart beginning to RACE in his chest as though it had taken on the life of a galloping centaur, Derf's bright blue eyes widened and pupils abnormally dilated. Her hair, he had always cherished her hair. It glistened in the light like a unicorn's mane but with the alluring nature of that of a demiguise's coat.... and surely held even more magical properties than either seeing as Zoryn herself WAS magic. Her skin was rich and luxurious, more so than any chocolate frog he had ever had the pleasure of tasting, surely.
Tasting.
................tasting.
His ears and cheeks turned the color of a phoenix on Burning Day and he wasn't sure what pushed him to make a move - because Derfaels NEVER made moves - but his hand was reaching out for hers and gently laced his fingers with hers. "....Zoryn..." he whispered. "....do you remember that thing you asked of me...years ago?" Surely she would remember THAT particular thing. "....I've changed my mind...I want to accept your offer."

Anna looked at Stella when she heard the young girl's voice, giving her a double thumbs up. "I like how you think! You should try out for Quidditch!" Because EVERYONE SHOULD!!!!!!
"Whoa! Chill out, Toddles." Was all Anna said when she heard the big yelp, but she had already diverted her attention back towards other people when the elf continued to complain about something or another.
Lots of shouting was happening now, which Anna was totally cool with. Someone was shouting about a toad, more people were arriving both Gryffindors and people from other houses, some kids ignoring her - which was fine, because she actually didn't realise she was being ignored -, Toddles toddling off.
THE SPEECH! YES! That meant food was coming! Anna turned her full attention to the new Headmaster because she also wanted to assess him. Interesting fella. And... bwahaha, quite unusual as well, which Anna liked. The girl chuckled here and there as he spoke, finding the way he worded certain things very entertaining.
As the food appeared, she got stuck in. Piling a bit of everything on her plate, she didn't waste any time stuffing her face. She was so busy eating she didn't even notice people starting to act strange around her.
Yet.

"Toddles no wants to talk about Cheeksies! Toddles wants to find his Fluffsies!" he barked in elfish high pitchness at the girl.
BLINK.
Did she just screamed at by...an elf? The same one who she thought was now a friend? "Toddles..." She felt her lower lip wibble as he stomped away, leaving the eleven year old girl there, wondering whatever had she done wrong.

Also reckoned that saying that would make her cry and he really did not fancy upsetting her further. Losing track of a familiar was rough enough as it was.
Though she didn't have much time to think about it when a tall person was upon her and was that Hohenheim??? Oh my Merlin! "Yes, that's my toad!" She breathed in relief. He was okay. He was unharmed and now he was back to her. FINALLY. She was going to give scold him later, albeit not on the same level as Toddles', for hopping off earlier. Her thanks to the older boy had to wait though when the Headmaster rose to give his speech. It was rude to stay standing even if she so wanted to have her toad back in her arms so she followed suit and sat and listened, even wondering for brief moment why her uncle Ainsworth was not on the staff anymore. Oh, and the forbidden forest was off limits?
...HMMM. Hmm...
Turning back to the older boy, "Thank you so very much, mister!" Harri beamed, very very grateful, at the older boy, taking the toad from his hand. She was about to ask him more specifics like where he found Hohenheim, but then food (WOW, it was just as her brother said- it was a literal feast!) was appearing and he was off holding hands with an older girl.
Uhhhh....
How...icky was that sight.
She didn't want to be a witness to any more of that so the young Gryffindor scurried away rather quickly (she would just have to extend her thanks when he wasn't so, um, preoccupied) to help herself to some food. YAAAY.
Of course she also drank the juice. And was now making heart eyes to no other than Hohenheim, her toad. Oh, I love you Hohenheim. No, I looove you most. Lemme give you smooches. There! So perrrfect.

Cordelia smiled at the first girl to greet her (Stella) ”Hi, I’m Cordelia! You can call me Dia if you want.” It was nice to be meeting friendly people in her house. Her attention was taken away from the other girl, however, when her brother Drew showed up. ”Drew!” The little girl leaned over to hug Drew. Did you see me up there being sorted?” She hadn’t been able to see him, or anything else for that matter, because the hat had completely covered half her face so all she could see during her sorting was the dark interior of the hat.
Hearing someone else speaking to her, Cordelia looked over to the boy who had introduced himself as Lucas. ”Thanks. I’m Cordelia.” All bets were off in the attention span department when Cordelia heard someone announcing quidditch ”I WANT TO TRY OUT FOR QUIDDITCH!” She shouted to the entire table in hope that someone would be able to tell her more about it. Quidditch sounded so fun! Flying practice at Stemp House was something that Cordelia really enjoyed, so she wanted to try quidditch. Would they let first years join the team? Everyone who welcomed Cordelia to Gryffindor got a smile.
When were they going to get food? Cordelia could feels her blood sugar dropping, so she poured herself a glass of pumpkin juice to treat the low while everyone waited for food. After downing the entire glass in just a few seconds, Cordelia looked up and - Woah. Who was this handsome specimen of a man seated at the table (Derf)? The first year girl inched closer to him at the table. ”Hi, I’m Cordelia. You can call me Dia, or even darling if you want.” She was feeling something that she couldn’t quite put a name to. Something similar to what she felt when she saw boys walking around shirtless. As she was only eleven years old, she had not had experience with boys as anything other than just friends before. There was something about this boy that felt different though, and she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. Eh, maybe the weird feeling was just because her blood sugar was still low. That had to be it. Without taking her eyes off handsome man, Cordelia poured herself another glass of pumpkin juice and chugged that one just as quickly as the first one. She wanted to touch his face. His eyes were so striking, and his facial structure was perfect. She could just stare at him all night. By now, Cordelia’s mouth was sort of hanging open and she was just speechless.

Zoryn greeted Derf with a smile because finally this horrid evening was coming to it’s climax and Zoryn Spinnet was about to have her shining moment. HER LEGACY, if you will. Zoryn Amari Spinnet (with the help of Cameron Tamesis) was about to pull the MOST EPIC seventh year prank of Hogwarts’ HISTORY. Derf’s random frog did earn him a look though. Ew. They were meant to eat FOOD at this table and she did not want to be staring at that pile of goop while she did it. Though, something told her that there wouldn’t be much eating tonight. Hehehehe.
Despite knowing exactly what she was doing, Zoryn Spinnet had not thought about many of the negative consequences. For example, she hadn’t thought about any of the heartbreaks. Nor did she think about students falling in love with their own reflections. But the one thing she DEFINITELY did NOT see coming, was Derf trying to slide into her DMs. Among other things.
He was going to be SO upset with her.
Zoryn Spinnet could take this two different ways. This could be her personal hell. OR she could choose to have fun. So obviously, Zoryn wasn't entirely excited about this turn of events but.... this would be a tomorrow-zoryn problem. And tomorrow-zoryn? Never heard of her!
So Zoryn did what any sane person would do. “What did I ask you, Derf?” Hehehe. “I… Can’t remember, it’s kind of fuzzy."Yes, she knew exactly what he was referring too, by the way. But it was SO FUNNY watching him get all blushy and red. "Remind me?"
She was TOTALLY innocent.

Rylee was squishing her! Tehehehe!“Ryleeee!! I’m so happpy I’ll be with you in our house!” Yes, her older cousin being in the same house with her makes her feel incredibly thrilled.
Isla was delighted that her new friend Harri recognised her! Did she want to say something?? Isla didn’t quite catch her mid-sentence. But she was still happy to see her too! And ohh everyone was greeting and welcoming her to the Gryffindor house. Aww, how nice of them! She waved back with a grin towards (Lucas, Stella, Anna, Abra)“Pleasure meeting you! I’m Isla! Me too! I woold love to try out for Quidditch!”
“Oh no! Don’t go cute Toddlessss! She will find his Fluffsies!” Too bad, Toddles left in a storm. Awwww...but the speech was starting soon.
**************
Parched, she took a sip of her pumpkin juice. Mhmm...so good...what is this new flavour? She managed to drink it all at once! Sitting beside Cordelia, she was experiencing something she never had before as well. Wow...she felt kind of dizzy. She looked up to see Mr. Hunky Hufflepuff prefect coming over to their table! Huh? Why was Cordelia looking at her MAN like that?!
“HI, I’M ISLA! CAN YOU BE MY BOYFRIENDDDD!!” Totally interrupting his conversation with the older cranky moody gryffindor girl, Zoryn.

Derf didn't even notice when the toad was taken from his hands. His world was Zoryn and only Zoryn right now with everything else being of little to no consequence. His bright blues were positively intoxicated with her brown ones and soon words were slipping out of his mouth without him even realizing it. But that just was it, wasn't it? He always COULD be so natural and himself with Zoryn.
"Your eyes...remind me of the most exquisite of chestnut horse's gait," he said as he reached one of his still very VERY muddy hands out to brush his thumb over her cheek. Which, naturally, left a smudge all the way across it. "...wild...free...untamed in its natural state...you're the most miraculous of creatures, Zoryn."
He didn't even HEAR the words of the two first year lionesses who had gathered nearby, he was so ENTRANCED by beauty before him. The one who barely saw him as worthy enough to recall her request from years ago and it caused his stomach to give a lurch and his heart to twist in his chest.
Remind her?
Being more of a Hufflepuff of actions speaking louder than words, Derf decided to show her.........and he quickly closed the distance between their faces, pressing his lips firmly and almost aggressively to hers. It was also...sloppy. Not so terribly so in that it was like a dog licking the face of its person in unconditional admiration, but not too far from it either. Because that was precisely what the Head Boy was. He was her eager to please cruppy and ready to do her bidding. BE anything she asked him to be and DO anything she asked of him.

“Dobby and Albus are doing great. They’re back at Hogwarts too,” Stasya assured Stella with a grin as her earlier question had been answered. She hadn’t seen any reason not to bring them back, not when Dobby was basically her familiar by now and Albus was born here. As far as she knew, anyhow, although she hadn’t asked Professor Wayland about her puffskein’s ancestry before the events of last term and it hadn’t actually occurred to her to ask anyhow.
Not to mention all sorts of things had happened at the table. One of the new first years had thanked her and then apparently been revealed to be related to Rylee somehow, Zoryn’s quietness had nearly been rivaled by another newly Sorted student…and then there was Toddles. Who had revealed that Fluffsies was his pet and generally a lot of other not very useful information before throwing an elf fit and basically storming off. Well, she’d just have to ask him if he’d found his pet later. She wasn’t too concerned at the current moment.
Plus, the missing toad had been found, Derf was at their table, the new Headmaster had given the speech, food had arrived and things happened. She’d tried to at least give her Hufflepuff nearly-best-friend (Emmeline still held the official best friend slot) a smile but it faltered as she saw him suddenly grab Zoryn’s hand. Lucas was basically petting Józef nearby, but that didn’t seem like something that needed to be monitored. Both Isla and Cordelia suddenly professing their love for the Head Boy kind of did, but she hadn’t stopped them either.
Wait…now Derf was kissing Zoryn? Memories of Halloween nearly two years ago flickered to the top of her mind and she nearly flinched before applying herself to the food on the table. Eating definitely seemed better than awkwardness, although she’d let her grey-green eyes glance toward the Slytherin table once to look for Koen. Anything to distract herself from inner conflict and whatever was happening at her own table and actually, apparently the other tables as well.

Tristan quickly made his way over to the Gryffindor table, stopping next to Zoryn and Derf who had taken it upon themselves to snog in the middle of the Great Hall, which they knew wasn't allowed...and which was completely unlike Derfael. But these days he wouldn't put anything past the young man. "Gryffindors, what in the world is happening here?" He said folding his arms across his chest. He looked around at all the Gryffindors...there was something off about them.

Notice us, senpai.
Józef turned towards Lucas, his expression one of complete bemusement. He had absolutely zero idea why his dorm mate was stroking his hair, but assumed that he thought the coolness would rub off, or something.
It was kind of funny, really. Lucas was cool in his own way, after all. Not Jó level cool, obviously, but cool nonetheless! He raised his eyebrows for a moment, before turning back and taking a sip of his water.
Yeah, pumpkin juice tasted funny usually, so that wasn't normally his drink of choice.
"How was your summer, anyway?" he asked, before getting distracted by the Hufflepuff Prefect planting one on Zoryn, and the appearance of the Professor.
Now he didn't really care about Lucas' summer, honestly. Now he was laughing.

Chestnut horse’s gait? Zoryn almost CHOKED. Maybe this is why Derf wasn’t in a relationship yet. The boy couldn’t even flirt properly while on a LOVE POTION for crying out loud. He was hopeless. “Thank you….. I think.” It didn’t exactly sound like a compliment, but his delivery was nice? It was, uh, the thought that counted, right? Weird.
And in the next three seconds while Zoryn had blinked, not one, but TWO first years began professing their love for Derfael Ashburry-Hawthorne and Zoryn. Was. Losing iT!!!!!!! This was just about the FUNNIEST thing that had ever happened at this school (and she had watched Beau show up to Quidditch Try Outs in his underpants, so this was saying something).
But the laughter and chipper mood did not last very long.
Because Derf’s lips were on HER lips. EW EW EW EW. This was not funny anymore!!!!!!
This was a complete disaster of epic proportions. This was so NOT according to plans!!!!!
The Gryffindor had to practically PRY the Hufflepuff off of her, and almost GAGGED in the process. Taking HIS robe in hold, she literally wiped her entire face onto it in hopes that it would get rid of any of his remaining saliva and dna. Zoryn Amari Spinnet was about to convulse. And then Professor WayOld showed up. G r e a t.
“Sorry Professor, I can’t help you. I’m in the middle of having an aneurism.”
So Zoryn MAY have suggested that she and Derf practice snogging on each other, but that was also FOUR YEARS AGO. Love potion or not, kissing Derfael had to be one of the worst things that had ever happened to her in her entire life. Way worse than getting tortured by Rafferty Ainsworth. She’d take that ten more times over this.
Kissing Derf was like kissing a sibling, if that sibling lived under water and was actually just a goldfish.
EW EW EW EW EW EW EW.
“I think I’m gonna hurl.”

The seventh year would honestly be CRUSHED if he knew that his mentor (though feelings there were still super complicated and confusing) thought so lowly of him now. Especially with him believing he had done right by keeping the rest of the bowtruckles safe from Petrov's hands. But...there was a discussion he needed to have with the professor tomorrow.
....and he was quite literally incapable of doing aaaaaaaaanything else other than feeling how deliciously soft and hydrated, like two plump earthworms, Zoryn's lips were. Thus...he did not even realize that the professor had arrived. Or that he was speaking. Or anything else.
POUTING as she pulled away, he thought that the mud streaks his hands had left on her skin and robes were the most beautiful mud streaks in existence. Was there anything Zoryn couldn't wear well? It reminded him of her show stopping performance as The Ground. It was Olivier Awards worthy, truly. But that pout soon turned into sheer PANIC when she said she was experiencing an aneurysm. "We HAVE to get you to the healer IMMEDIATELY!" he squeaked, his voice shrill. "I cannot allow for the love of my life to perish!" It was only then that he saw Professor Wayland, and his eyes dilated even more dangerously in his faux love-obsessed foolish features. "PROFESSOR! Please. I love her. I'll do anything for her! If she needs a new brain she can have mine! Don't let her die!"
