Default Great Hall


Rain or shine, the Great Hall continues to be the hub of the school. Four long tables, one for each House as defined by the banners floating above them, are stationed in the enormous room facing the raised table reserved for the school staff. Already placed on the tables are silver plates with accompanying cutlery and goblets. Mountains of food and pitchers containing your favourite beverages are at your fingertips.

Whether you arrived for breakfast, lunch, or dinner on time or late, feel free to dig in as the headmaster has no speech to give. Keep yourself preoccupied by catching up with your fellow housemates or those who are visiting from the other tables while sink your teeth into the hearty and delicious meal prepared by the house-elves. Just remember to display proper eating etiquette and don't get any funny ideas. Food is to be eaten, not thrown across the dining room. Wasting food will come at a price that you will not like to pay.

It had been quite the surprise to Roulan to see her tawny owl flying towards her that morning at breakfast. Outside of her great niece and great nephew, she was estranged from all her living family - and she certainly hadn't been expecting any correspondence from Liquin or Guowei when she hadn't been in either's life for an extended period of time. So when she opened the envelope presented by her companion and scanned to see Guowei's name, she'd grown considered and immediately scanned the rest of the contents to ensure he and his sister were well.

She hadn't needed to concern herself, as the pair were perfectly fine. But her great-nephew was asking her for a favor by checking in on one of the newer students. It was a face she'd recognized from night one as well, when she scanned the included photo she was also asked to deliver. It was not one of the one's who had shown such displeasure at their placement, but she did recall the young girl looking quite overwhelmed when she reached the table. She was more than happy to comply with what was requested of her, having already had it on her to-do list to check in how the young girl was faring.

Which breakfast seemed particularly the perfect time to do so. Rou had chosen to sit among the students at the Slytherin table, chatting among them and getting to know faces and names while she looked for one in particular.

Etta’s first night at Hogwarts was dreadful! It definitely did not start well for the youngling. She embarrassed herself after having a panic attack right before she even made it to the table, surprisingly a housemate was kind enough to help her and introduce her to the fellow Slythies nearby.

Etta struggled with social situations and feared unknown faces. So much so, she had been eating meals by herself in isolated places. There were only a few areas in the castle she felt safe so far. The girl’s dormitory being the main, she had kind housemates so far. But living in her shell of comfort was very lonely. So Henriette picked today to be the day she would enter the hall and sit to have a meal even with housemates nearby.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

Etta, wringing her hands, took a DEEP breath and shivered as she stood at the entrance and surveyed the setting. One slow step after another the young girl approached the table. Her face paled and her sweat turned cold, pausing as she took another deep breath and marched.

Good. Good. Good.

Etta quickly slid onto the seat and felt her chest tighten! Closing her eyes she took several more deep breaths and with shaking hands, she reached for eating utensils. The hardest part, making it inside the hall and sitting down, was done. Now, to fill her plate with delectables. Her stomach was rumbling! But as she filled her plate it didn’t escape her notice that a professor was here! And she was mingling with housemates nearby.

Introduce yourself!

She was mentally pushing herself.

She really wanted to introduce herself to Professor Roulan Liu, but her jaw clenched shut from the sudden anxiety.

Oh no….

It wasn't long until Roulan noticed the young snake enter the Great Hall, and as she sipped at her tea and nibbled on her biscuit she observed the youngling seeming to be experiencing a lot of anxiety as she had the first night. Poor dear. New experiences and places could certainly be difficult to adjust to, even more so if there was no one here she had known previously like the letter she'd received had seemed to suggest. She continued to observe, quietly, as she also chatted with others. She tried to be as discreet as possible in her observation as well, certainly not wanting to embarrass the girl.

Not that being nervous or adjusting was anything to be embarrassed about, but she vaguely knew what kids could be like in their feelings.

Roulan took her time finishing her biscuit, and once completed she turned her attention again - a bit more fully this time - towards the young girl who had found her seat. Seeing that she was likewise looking Rou's way, she gave a warm smile before excusing herself and moving a bit further down the table - sliding then into the seat across from her.

"Good morning! It's a lovely start to the day so far, isn't it? I must say the elves delectable cooking is already my favorite part of the castle. Though, I find a need to take a good moment of deep breathing to really prepare my stomach to indulge in everything I want to try." It was subtle, and perhaps could have been missed, but she was attempting to discreetly push the girl's thought towards breathing and controlling it. That would certainly help with any rising panic.

Etta's eyes widened, shocked that a very important figure was speaking to her, even if she could only make out a few phrases here and there from panic brewing!

Deep breathing?

B R E A T H E !

Etta clutched her utensils and took a deep breath, silently counting to three before releasing. Her lungs filled with air and the tightening in her chest subsided when she exhaled. Feeling her anxiety go down she released the grip on the silverware and the world slowly came back to focus.

”Good morning, Professor.” Etta politely bowed her head, a form of respect to elders. ”Yes, it is quite lovely so far.” She did make it out of her comfort zone thus far.

Holding conversations with people was another difficult task for the youngling, waiting to be approached first before speaking.

Pick some food!

Etta shivered as she bravely filled her plate with food. ”I-I…heard the elves make tasty desserts.” She anxiously stuttered. Probably a lame comment but she was trying and doing her best!

Her large doe eyes struggled to meet the professor’s but when she managed to do so, Etta gave Professor Roulan a shy and innocent smile. ”My name is Henrietta Han.”

Solomon had grown significantly in height over the summer, although he hadn’t noticed that himself. One thing that was noticeable, and quite embarrassing, was the break in his voice, but his dad had told him to not draw attention to it and everyone would get over it after one conversation. His father rarely offered him much advice, but when he did, Solly held onto it. He was a successful man, after all. With his growing bones, Solomon was hungry!!!!

He had made an extra effort to get to breakfast in the great hall, in fact had gotten up early for it. You would find him sat at the Slytherin table tucking straight in to his feast, beginning with dipping a finger of bread in an eggy solider.

Yum.

Aurora too had actually grown over the summer although her petite frame had only managed an inch and a half to achieve the grand old height of 4’6.5 which for her was BIG news. She had also turned thirteen but that hadn’t particularly changed anything about her personality and she was still as bouncy and bubbly as ever. That was completely obvious by the skip that she did as she came skidding into the Great Hall for breakfast.

She would usually make a beeline for the Ravenclaw table, not because she wanted to sit there but sometimes it felt strange to automatically sit at another table without being invited by someone in that house. Today she wouldn’t have that problem however as she had spotted Solomon over at the far Slytherin table the second she had bounced her way through the grand doors. She wasn’t intending on sneaking up on him but she did approach from behind and wrap her arms around his neck in a big bear hug. “Hiiiiiiiii!” she practically sang in his ear.

She didn’t even wait for Solomon to speak before hurdling the bench and sitting herself down next to him and grabbing a piece of toast from the table.

The eggy soldiers were an absolute delight and Solomon had forgotten how much he loved an early breakfast in the great hall. He wasn’t used to such culinary delights at home, that’s for sure.

He was already moving onto some crunchy cereal when his friend had joined him, far too engrossed in what he was doing to NOT be taken by surprise when she came up behind him. Solly jumped a little and dribbled a sufficient amount of milk down his chin. “Urrnnfff,” the sound came out a little muffled but he managed to peer up to see who it was while wiping the milk away. Of course it was Aurora. She was lucky to be herself right now, otherwise Solly might have been annoyed.

He wasn’t a morning person, okay?

You need to stop sneaking up on people.” he croaked, mouthful of food. “Especially at the Slytherin table.” You never know who you could end up cheesing off. Also, hi. He continued to crunch his cereal but gave her a menacing grin throughout his chewing.

Oh Solomon was such a grumpy drawers sometimes. That didn’t stop her from squeezing him just that little bit tighter before releasing him from her cuddle assault. “I didn’t sneak up on you silly, you were just too focused on stuffing food in your mouth” she giggled. It wasn’t her fault that Solly’s priorities lay with feeding his stomach rather than being on constant alert for friends.

Speaking of food in his mouth. “You have a milk beard!” The Ravenclaw used her thumb to dab a spot of milk he had missed which she then wiped off on the table. Dribbly guts.

She reached across the table for the butter which she spread generously on her toast before cutting the bread into triangles, albeit very uneven ones. “Everyone knows that Slytherin’s are really big teddy bears. It’s the Gryffindors you have to be worried about.” Slytherin’s acted all cool and brave but really all they wanted was to be loved, Gryffindors meanwhile were unpredictable. That being said she had friends in every house and loved them all equally and would never hold the house system against them.

Roulan would certainly not say she was anything akin to an important figure. She was merely an educator, which was an important role of course, but certainly not because she was in it. In fact, more than half the time she figured she was probably ill equipped to be one shaping these children's minds. Her family had always told her she was too rash, too dramatic and her ideas could rarely be shrunk down to something that actually made sense. Or so they had said. She didn't often agree with all of the statements, but after 60 plus years of life and recklessness, while there might have been moments they had some truth. But still, she had passed the rigorous screen process for the illustrious school and she was beyond honored to be here. But she was quite certain that she would be learning just as much from the students as she would hopefully be imparting to them.

This dog was never too old to learn new things.

She watched the young girl breathe, grinning as she it seemed to do the trick and she slowly had better control of her senses. Rou remained silently while she did so though, just taking a sip of her juice in front of her while she waited.

In no time at all, the girl was speaking and seeming far more at ease than moments before. Though her shy nature certainly still was noticeable. No matter, there was nothing wrong with a reserved personality.

"I woke this morning and took a stroll around the gardens outside. It's lovely and another great way to wake up and boost your appetite." Or prepare yourself for a day of new experiences, if that was what was needed. "I have heard the same of the desserts! I have quite the sweet tooth, so I look forward to sampling more and more of their recipes. Do you like sweets as well?"

Roulan knew the girl's name, not just from the letter but also from Sorting and the class rosters, but she didn't want to make Henrietta nervous by mentioning as such. Besides, it was polite to still have an introduction when first speaking to someone directly. "Pleasure to meet you, Henrietta! Are you enjoying Hogwarts so far?"

Etta’s eyes lit up at the mention of the gardens! She had yet to venture to said gardens since she was slowly familiarizing herself with the interior of the castle. Baby steps. ”I-I still haven’t been to the gardens yet. But I want to meet them soon.” Henrietta fancied gardens and really enjoyed taking care of her plants back home. Gardening learning about Herbology (with the help of her foster grandmother’s notes) was a hobby for the youngling. It kept her grounded and sane during her time in different foster homes or the orphanage. ”Lavender is my favorite.” She pointed out, perhaps a meaningless fact but it felt nice to share.

Etta’s lips folded into a sheepish and amused smile followed by a soft giggle at the mention of the Professor’s sweet tooth. ”I do.” She nodded. ”I like black licorice the most!...I guess it’s not very sweet. But once you get past the bitterness I think they are.” Speaking from her experience black licorice was delicious!

Etta found herself feeling a bit more comfortable speaking with Professor Liu, she wasn't as scary or intimidating as she perceived the professors to be. Another bashful smile formed on the youngling’s face as she gave Professor Liu a nod. ”I-It’s been good so far. My dorm mates have been very kind to me.” She has been lucky so far. No one’s been verbally mean or pulled her hair so she sees it as a win. ”How about you professor? Etta asked.

The squeeze was not appreciated especially because he was stuffing his face right now. It felt like she was trying to make him go pop. He felt a twinge of embarrassment when she commented on him stuffing food into his mouth, not realising it was that obvious. “Just a man enjoying breakfast, that’s all.” A milk beard????!!!! Solly wasn’t sure how he felt about Aurora dabbing his chin, but he responded in the only way he knew how.

He dipped his finger into his bowl of milk and flicked it at her. “Now you do as well.” Although… maybe hers more of a whole face beard. Oops.

Once Aurora was also tucking into breakfast, Solly felt better resuming his, feeling no issue with eating his cereal that just had his mucky fingers inside. He chuckled a little with his mouth full, “Ain't that the truth,” about the Gryffindor, that is. HE certainly wasn’t a teddy bear. He was a tough cookie. “The eggs are good today,” he pointed over to them. Since it was the weekend they had all the time in the world to tuck in.

No need for the grumpiness dear Solly, Aurora was only happy to see you. Her squishiest of cuddles were only reserved for her bestest of friends and therefore he should feel honoured to be a recipient of such one. “All the food is great at Hogwarts! The Elves are such good chefs and they’re not so stingy with the butter and milk and sugar and oil.” Basically anything that made homecooked food unhealthy that her mothers seemed to omit from their own meals.

*gaaaaaaasp*

Aurora couldn’t help that brief open mouthed expression she gave Solomon as he flicked milk into her face and it splattered directly on her face. She attempted to lick it off the end of her nose with her own tongue, struggling to reach anywhere near where a droplet was situated right on the very tip. She was going cross-eyed as she stared down and therefore pulled the most ridiculous expression. Rora might not have been devious like a Slytherin or brash like a Gryffindor but there was no way she was letting Solly get away with this. She dipped her finger into the butter she was about to spread onto her toast and wiped it across his forehead with a cheeky grin. “Oops. Now you have butter on you too.” she giggled.

In all honesty, if Aurora ever decided to NOT give him a bear hug, he would likely be offended or confused or upset. So despite his clear annoyance, it was best to stick with routines, as such. "It's the best. Sometimes I skip breakfast," Because, uhh, he liked to sleep in instead whenever he could, "But Merlin - my gut is almost bursting already." In fact, he was almost done and was considering a long and brisk walk to feel better. "Wanna go to the grounds after breakfast?" He would very much like that.

MWAHA. It was always good when the victim didn't get upset over spilled milk. Solly laughed at the way she handled it, also not minding the buttered forehead. Not minding it MUCH. BUutter was sticky and horrible, though. "Ewwwww," He used his sleeve to wipe his forehead, now a butter smear all down him that looked absolutely dreadful. Great start to the day. Solly must get revenge, maybe mot today, even though he started it...

"I suppose I deserved that." Solly sighed, defeated. He wasn't childish enough to start cracking eggs over her head.

SPOILER!!: Sweet Etta!

Etta’s eyes lit up at the mention of the gardens! She had yet to venture to said gardens since she was slowly familiarizing herself with the interior of the castle. Baby steps. ”I-I still haven’t been to the gardens yet. But I want to meet them soon.” Henrietta fancied gardens and really enjoyed taking care of her plants back home. Gardening learning about Herbology (with the help of her foster grandmother’s notes) was a hobby for the youngling. It kept her grounded and sane during her time in different foster homes or the orphanage. ”Lavender is my favorite.” She pointed out, perhaps a meaningless fact but it felt nice to share.

Etta’s lips folded into a sheepish and amused smile followed by a soft giggle at the mention of the Professor’s sweet tooth. ”I do.” She nodded. ”I like black licorice the most!...I guess it’s not very sweet. But once you get past the bitterness I think they are.” Speaking from her experience black licorice was delicious!

Etta found herself feeling a bit more comfortable speaking with Professor Liu, she wasn't as scary or intimidating as she perceived the professors to be. Another bashful smile formed on the youngling’s face as she gave Professor Liu a nod. ”I-It’s been good so far. My dorm mates have been very kind to me.” She has been lucky so far. No one’s been verbally mean or pulled her hair so she sees it as a win. ”How about you professor? Etta asked.


Aha, was that a spark of interest that she saw in the Slytherin's face? It seemed gardens and plants held a special place for the girl. She was sure Professor DeVries would enjoy seeing that excitement as well in his classes. It was always nice when one found students passionate about the different subjects they taught. And even nicer still just to see that twinkle in a student's eye when there was something they enjoyed at school. "I'm sure you'll find the time! Professor DeVries keeps the greenhouses quite lush and comfortable as well from what I can tell. You should check those out too. Just mind the signs." From what she remembered, the man had those with the more dangerous plant life well marked for the students to avoid any mishaps. "Lavender is beautiful. I quite like the pale purple to the flower and the smell is wonderful." For herself? She had always had a partiality to baby's breath and the subtle beauty it had.

"Licorice! I must confess, that is one I don't often stock in my candy drawer. But I'll keep a packet in there for you should you ever need a pick me up." She happened to have a large stash for all the students, if they needed it. Sometimes after a long day, it was nice just to raise the blood sugar with a little bit of a sweetie.

Roulan could tell the moment the young snake began to feel more comfortable, and she was glad for it. She reached out to take another sip of her juice, listening as Etta described her experiences thus far. It was good to hear there was nothing mean spirited afoot, though she was sure had there been Hady would have been quick to settle it. "It's always nice to quickly settle in and start making friends. I'm glad you're having a good time." She also thought it was incredible sweet the young girl turned it back on her, and her soft smile suggested as such. "I quite like it here. I think we're going to have a wonderful year this term. I do miss my family a bit, but there's always holidays." It was bittersweet to have separated from her nephew and niece so soon after finding them, but they'd already solidified Christmas plans - so something to look forward to.

Tinka appeared in the blink of an eye. She then let out a squeak at the sight of the humans. "Tinka is very, very sorry to interupt! Tinka heard mistress and mistress professor mistress would like some sweets and wanted to know what they would like. Tinka would be very, very happy to make." She was so happy to help out. With her trusty whisk she can whip some more sweets out in no time.

Aurora was often found skipping breakfast too although it wasn’t altogether intentional. Sometimes the effort to leave the Ravenclaw tower and trudge her way down all of those steps was just too much. Or sometimes she just liked to go speak to the Elves in the kitchen and grab a bite to eat there (even if Algamus often grumbled at her for getting in their way), or finally she just got distracted by something along the way and forgot where she was supposed to be. “Breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day. But I definitely prefer dinner, especially if there’s pudding.” Of course she had a sweet tooth.

“Okay! Where do you want to go? Maaaaybe we could go find Bartholomew in the lake? Or we could go see the Winged Horses in the pastures? Orrrr.. the tree! I haven’t been up the climbing tree since June.” Which for a thirteen year old was a lifetime ago. The grounds were undoubtedly her favourite place in the entire school.

Aurora wasn’t easily upset especially when it came to getting mucky. In fact, anything that resulted in a mess was often the most fun activity and getting into a mini food fight in the middle of the Great Hall sounded like the best way to start a day. Although Solomon seemed to give up after she smeared butter on his forehead and did not retaliate. “And that is why you aren’t a Gryffindor!” she giggled. You wouldn’t see a Lion admitting defeat.

At the mention of Professor DeVries, Etta wanted to ask if said person was nice but kept it to herself instead. The mention of the lush greenhouse made her lips curl into an excited smile, she would definitely be paying the house a visit. Nodding, Etta agreed on the subject of lavender. ”My foster grandmother recommended lavender to help me sleep.” And to help ease the youngling’s senses during depressive episodes. ”She was really smart and knew the language of flowers and herbs.” Truly a woman she admired apart from her new big sister. Her sister, now guardian, saved Etta from the orphanage and she would always be grateful. Etta aspired to repay Min-Su for saving her one day. But for now, she’d do everything she can to make her sister proud…even when she was afraid at times.“Do you like flowers, Professor?” Etta smiled softly.

Another smile, this one much bigger than the last one. ”Thank you.” Professor Liu was very kind and Etta was finding herself to feel safe in the woman’s company. ”Do you get a lot students in your office?” Or should she schedule an appointment?

Etta found herself eating tidbits of the food she had on her plate. ”Yes it is.” The youngling was indeed doing her best to do well at school and that’s really all she can do, little by little. Try. ”Where does your family live?” If the Professor didn’t mind her asking, that is. ”Do you have favorite holiday, Professor Liu?” Surprisingly Etta found herself feeling chatty around the kind woman. She was becoming quite fond of Professor Liu’s company.

Etta jumped a little at the sudden appearance of the kind elf, Tinka. The youngling gave Tinka a respectful wave. ”Oh, hello.” Etta kindly said. As for desserts the youngling was actually craving belgium waffles with strawberries. ”Uhm, may I-I have some b-belgium waffles with s-strawberries…please?” She didn’t want to be too much trouble for Tinka.

Dinner is definitely best.” Sometimes pigging out at breakfast was too much for his gut. Speaking of, he felt as if he was done. He finished his orange juice and let out a ginormous buuurrrrRrrPppp!!

You wouldn’t find Solomon near the kitchens, unless absolutely necessary. (He was a little freaked out the house elves, despite their sickeningly friendly personalities.) Again, he didn’t fancy looking for Bartholomew at the lake either. It was good to be wary of certain magical creatures, you know. Or just be afraid of them.

Let’s go to the tree, bet I can race you there.” He didn’t have many opportunities to run around these days, but since he’d grown in height he had a feeling he would have picked up some speed. He figured Aurora would definitely be up for it as well.

Solomon’s eyes narrowed. Although he wasn’t entirely clued up on each individual characteristic belonging to each house, he didn’t much like being compared to any, or in this case, NOT being compared. “Are you calling me a coward?” Gryffindors were brave, weren’t they? Hence her calling him NOT brave, obviously.

The thought alone was enough for him to consider a full blown food fight.

Dinners at Hogwarts were full blown feasts which meant that the actual feasts were a spectacular display of every kind of food imaginable and desserts piled high with cream and custard. “Especially when they have roast potatoes and gravy and Yorkshire puddings” A huge grin was plastered on her face as she thought forward to what delights would be served to them that evening when Solomon let out the biggest belch. “Ewwwwww. Sollyyyyyy!” she whined, wafting her hand in front of her face to disperse the particles away from her.

That was where Solomon and Aurora differed greatly as her fascination with creatures meant that even the ones she was a little frightened of she was curious about. The Elves were harmless if not a little grouchy at times and Bartholomew despite his size was a gentle giant who would pop to the surface to wave his tentacles at the students.

Ordinarily Aurora would have been up for the race however there was a slight disadvantage in that the third year was significantly vertically challenged and one of Solly’s steps would’ve been equivalent to two of her own. “Orrrr you could give me a piggy back there!” she giggled. Reuben had given her one last term so she couldn’t have been THAT heavy. “And I’ll race you UP the tree.” What she lacked in height she made up for in grit and determination. Besides the tree was charmed so there was no risk in falling off of one of the branches and hurting themselves.

There wasn’t a mean streak in the thirteen year old but she did enjoy teasing her boy friends sometimes and they just made it so easy. Her delighted little giggle was telling of her not being serious but she couldn’t help but continue. “Not a coward but you’re also not the bravest either.” She scooped up a tiny bit of raspberry jam onto her forefinger and dabbed it directly onto the tip of his nose.

Mmmmmmmm… the descriptions if certain foods was making him all the more hungry. Or sick. He couldn’t tell the difference at this exact moment. Her reaction to his belch was expected and hilarious - Solly couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Sorry, Rora. Where are my manners?” He mimicked her with the hand waft, because it really was a stinky one.

Giving her a piggy back ride would definitely slow him down, although if he had known that Reuben had given her one once before then he absolutely would’ve agreed in an instant. For some… strange… reason. “Pfft… so lazy.” He teased with a chuckle. “No chance. You’ll only wear me down.” And that wouldn’t be fair now, would it?!?

o_____O

NOT the bravest????

Well…

Anna would say otherwise.” He commented quietly, if that was to influence her in any way. Anna would call him VALIANT. Pouting at the raspberry nose, Solomon did feel the pressure of a challenge but also didn’t want to overdo it by shoving Aurora’s face into a pie or anything, albeit tempting. He opted for the OJ, thus dipping his fingers into a jug of it and flicking it at her.

Sticky vs sticky.

Let’s be honest, Aurora was quite used to Solomon’s antics by this point that it didn’t really bother her that much. “Boys are so gross” she giggled. Not that she had never burped in her life but she seemed to be more susceptible to a hiccup especially when in a fit of giggles. The type where her eyes were streaming and she could no longer breathe through all snorting and laughter.

Aurora was NOT lazy, in fact she was quite the opposite in that she was constantly on the go and found it quite difficult to stay still for long periods of time. “It would make it much fairer! Your arms and legs are much longer than mine which means you’d be able to reach higher up the tree. If you’re tireder then we’d be on an equal playing field.” She leaned her shoulder against his and stretched out her arm in front of her as if to prove her point. Sadly the mini growth spurt over the summer had still not placed her in line with the rest of her peers when it came to limb length.

Anna would say anything to make others happy and that was what she most loved about her best friend. She was a literal ray of sunshine to compliment Aurora’s Unicorn rainbowness.

The flick of orange juice was met with a brief moment of silence before she absolutely erupted into the aforementioned fit of giggles. Blonde pigtails whipped around as she searched for another food item to bless Solly’s face with. Her eyes settled on some marmalade which she smeared onto his cheeks before ducking under the table.

Solomon rolled his eyes at Aurora. Boys were gross. Really? Everyone burped, from their tops and their bottoms. “Better out than in, that’s what I always say.” More cheeky laughter coming from the Slytherin.

He let his hand chatter away as he mouthed blah blah blah.Just because I’m taller doesn’t mean I’m faster,” but of course, he WAS faster, duh, “… small people quite often have good agility.” Right? They could zip in and out of places quickly, in his mind anyway. The point of the matter still was… “You can get yourself there.” Solomon grinned with his mouth shut.

He was unsure about why he wanted Aurora to retract her statement when he mentioned Anna thinking of him as brave. Realising that it hadn’t caused a stir, he pouted a bit. Weird.

The silence was deafening and scary, almost worried that he had taken things a little too far. But her laughter was infectious and he couldn’t help but burst into his own fit of silly giggles. They must have looked a right pair. Only for a short while, though, when marmalade was spread all over his cheeks.

Okay.

Okay… that was too far. He was worried he would be the one to push it, but turns out it was Aurora.

Hey!!!!!” Solomon raised his voice a little, visibly cross.

Was that not a saying from a really old muggle film that Aurora couldn’t quite recall the name of? Either way, girls were much more polite when it came to such matters. “You could’ve sent it the other way” her nose wrinkled. Being inflicted with such smelly air particles was putting her off of her breakfast. “As long as it doesn’t come out the other end,” she giggled.

It might’ve been true that smaller people weren’t necessarily slower but there was a definite height disadvantage in this situation anyway. “Your one step is the same as two of mine!” she retaliated. Solly was being such a spoilsport today. “Fiiiine but I get a head start.” Because there were several disadvantages for the petite little Ravenclaw. If it was frozen outside and she was able to use her ice skates there was no way she would be beaten but alas it was quite winter yet and she’d be stuck waddling like a duck if she tried.

Oh Solomon there was no need to be so grumpy about everything, Aurora was only playing with you. Had she been a little more self-aware she might’ve looked a little upset that she was apparently making her dear friend angry but it was Aurora and she was a little oblivious. She popped back up from under the table, head tilted like a confused Crup as she glanced at the Slytherin. “Here, I can clean you up. I read about this spell in my Charms homework,” she pulled out her wand from its holster and pointed it towards Solomon’s cheeks. “Tergeo” she spoke clearly, looking rather proud of herself for knowing such a ‘complicated’ spell and being able to pull it off successfully before planting a kiss on Solly’s cheek. “Now you look handsome again and not like a jammy monster,” she giggled.

You’re welcome.

True, he could have and should have sent it another way. Would it make Aurora feel better to know that he was just obviously that comfortable with her ??? He laughed shortly, “I wouldn’t do that.” Bottom burps were a something he would much rather keep to himself.

She was definitely being dramatic… he didn’t think one of his steps would equate to two of hers at all, he wasn’t some giant!!! “I am totally okay with you having a head start.” Solomon grinned menacingly again. “You’re gonna need it,” oooops, would she hear that little muttering??

Had she given him a chance to consent to magic being performed on his face, he would have said NO. He was far too pretty to be subjected to any magical accidents from a THIRD YEAR of all people?!!!! It only added to his already grumpiness, but that was before she planted a peck on his cheek.

Why did she do THAT?

His cheeks were now jam free but not so much blush free. “Uhhh… thanks.” Solly managed, automatically smudging his cheek. Not to smudge the kiss away, but to check out her handiwork. Pretty impressive magic, he supposed. “We should probably get going…” if they wanted to get to that tree before he died of embarrassment.
