Start of Term Feast

[Rebecca Landlove]

Rebecca clapped her hands and the room fell silent. The start of term feast was to begin. "Welcome back to the old students. And to the new ones..welcome." She smiled in the direction of the first years. After a few announcements, the sorting ceremony began and was soon over.

"Let the feast begin." Food appeared on the table before the students.

[Lyrenz Serrama]

Lyr was situated happily at the end of the table closest to the back of hall. It suited him just fine. He wouldn't have to answer awkward questions like, "How does your watch still work! Shouldn't the magic of Hogwarts shorted it out the minutes you stepped into Hogsmead?" Oh how many times he'd had to explain that one. He once thought about making a story up, but decided against it, thinking that he'd have a much better chance of living down the truth than if a dragon had breathed its last breath on it or something of the like.
Shadow leapt up onto his lap and curled up there.
Why am I still not surprised, little one? Hmm? he thought.
All was well. He was back at Hogwarts, there were mounds of food on his plate, and Ravenclaw was still the best house there was.

[Korin Donovan]

Korin had taken a seat from Lyr, immediately digging into the meal the elves had prepared for them. He hadn't had any sleep the night before, so he took a long nap on the train, and had fought off the remainder of his sleepiness on the carriage ride to the castle. He'd nodded in greeting toward his housemate, and watched the firsties take their place. He grinned at the prospect of the new Ravenclaws, and soon stuffed his face with mashed potatoes. "Oh this is good," he mumbled through his food at Lyr. He was starving and only this quality in food could make him feel better. "I didn't even eat on the train."

[Lyrenz Serrama]

All Lyr could understand was "Mphmphmmphfoodmph."
Not seeing much in the way of dinner conversation over...well...dinner, Lyr decided to keep to himself. Not that Shadow minded, seeing as he was completely sprawled out across Lyr's lap, purring away happily. He took a piece of chicken and set it down in front of Shadow's nose. Eventually the cat would eat it. Until then, the piece would just have to sit there. Lyr'd have an earful if he didn't share some of his dinner with Shadow. Such is the way of cats.
The food was amazing. It rivalled his mother's cooking. But that was probably because his mom used the muggle-way of cooking. To Lyr, it seemed to taste better that way. (not to mention that microwaves and magic didn't take to each other very well)
Lyr looked down and saw the piece of chicken gone. Instead, he saw a pleading look for more. And he gladly gave Shadow another piece.

[Amy See]

Amy clapped for the newly sorted students, and then turned to survey the other tables. She spotted Korin not too far from her at the Ravenclaw table, and stood up and made her way over. She hadnt seen him since last summer. "Hey Kor!" Amy threw her arms around her "brother" in a hug, and then sat next to him, piling some food onto the plate in front of her. She glanced over and recognized Lyrenz from the train ride and smiled at him. "Hello again."

[Lyrenz Serrama]

Lyr mumbled a greeting back, but was too preoccupied with feeding Shadow. That is until he realized who said it. He looked up and recognized her as the girl he had sat with on the train.
"Amalie...? No...shoot...I'm sorry...I've forgotten exactly what your name was...it starts with Am...and ends with ee...oh...Amy...sorry about that."
He went back to feeding Shadow, nonchalantly hiding his embarassment.
