Feeling a bit peckish [open]

'Hm? What idea?' Leo said blankly, before remembering. 'Oh ... Oh! Uh. No ... not yet.' Leo stared at a bowl of fruit for a moment, before blinking, seemingly coming back to life. 'You are going to be in this, right? I wasn't sure ...' Leo frowned. Again, she wasn't sure why she wasn't sure, and she didn't like it. Not at all.

Lily laughed a little at the animated conversations taking place around her, and leaned back on the table. She raised an eyebrow as Hex stood in a hurry, and followed him out of the room with her eyes. She watched the others interacting with interest, and curiosity. She laughed at Ruby's nicknames for everyone. "Farewell Ruby, I look forward to seeing you again" she smiled playfully.

With a yawn, Rory shuffled into the Great Hall. The boy shook his head a bit to dislodge the hair from his eyes. Hands in his pockets, he sat the first part of his table he could reach. With another yawn, the boy slung his arms over the table, disturbing a few people around him. They complained, but he didn't pay attention. He muttered an apology and dropped his head on his arms, closing his eyes. No more sneaking out with James at night... Especially before days with double Potions. Professer Snape had made it his personal mission to torture the two Irish cousins the entire class. James had left to Merlin knows where with Naida, but Rory drug himself to the Great Hall.

Remington eyed another Ravenclaw and a smile lifted the side of his mouth. Fresh meat. He slid over on the bench. "Hello!" Remington said brightly, grinning. "Nice to see you out and about. I'm sure I've seen you in the common room a few times, never bothered to talk to you, never had the interest. But you're here now, and I'm bored." He smiled widely. "Name's Remington Zabini. And you are...?"

"Cecilia. I was wondering if you could join us tomorrow night with your friend Montague, I am sure she misses her cousin. I thought we could have a nice dinner together, enjoy each other's company. What do you think? After satisfying our hunger, we can move on the more serious matters, such as our precious..club. " he said and looked at Lily's face after Ruby left. It made him feel suspicious that she was so calm after what happened.

She could hear the uncertainty in Leo's voice and grimaced. She wasn't any more certain than her friend was. A piece of bread somehow found its way into her hands and she twisted it, breaking bits off as she thought. What was the harm in being a part of it? She just wanted to make sure that her friend was prepared. She took a deep breath and made up her mind. "Yes. Yes, I-"

She cut herself off as Lestrange suddenly addressed her and her eyes narrowed. "I don't feel like having 'dinner' with you, Lestrange, and I'm sure Leo feels the same way."

'I don't miss my cousin,' Leo snapped, 'and I'd rather not spend any longer in your company than I have to.' Leo was confused - why would Glacier travel from Durmstrang just for a dinner? What club?

She looked down the table as Rory traipsed in and frowned slightly at his tired state. Lily grinned as she watched Remington, she found him fun to watch. Feeling eyes on her she turned her face to Vine, "What? Have I got something on my face?" she spoke with a smile. She looked at the two Gryffindor girls curiously, "It's only.. dinner" she laughed slightly.

Tyler's eyes darted over to the boy who had just entered the Hall. Rory, wasn't it? Tyler searched for some of the things he knew about the boy. Well, he knew he was Andy's cousin and Basil's friend. He smiled a bit, then jumped, being disturbed out of his thoughts. "Hey." He said, listening to the boy go on and on, talking way too fast for his taste. His eyes went to the older boy's face when he mentioned his name. "You're... you're Remington? Remington Zambini?" He shook his head, taking himself out of his thoughts. "Tyler MacDougal."

"We're not all infatuated with Lestrange, Lily." Cecilia snapped, turning her gaze to the girl. "I'd rather not have 'dinner' with someone I dislike. Why do you keep laughing like that? It seems so..." She glared. "Fake."

"You face is flawless, darling." he said to Lily before replying to Cel, "It is an official meeting and you have to attend, don't make me remind you the rules now. I thought you wouldn't want to be alone and Glacier said she wanted to see her dear cousin. I get so emotional at family reunions." he said and wiped a fake tear off his eye.

Leo fixed a stare at Lily. 'Tell me, how much do you like having dinner with people you don't like? Cause normally, people try to avoid spending time in the company of those they detest. I'm no different.' Leo turned to Lestrange. 'I've told you, I don't want to see her,' she forced out through gritted teeth.

Cecilia sent Lestrange a furious glance. Don't you dare drag Leo into this. "Fine." She spat. "But Leo is not going." She turned away, irritated that her conversation with Leo had taken this turn when they'd been speaking about another matter.

"Indeed I am, I just told you I was. Then again," Remington added, "I could be nowhere near who I say I am. In fact I'm not, I'm nothing like what I say I am. Actions speak louder than words, don't trust anyone, especially me." Remington studied Tyler MacDougal's face. "Tyler. Tyler, nice to meet you Tyler - CHICKEN BOY!" Remington yelled out to Rory. Bored of Tyler already, he jumped up and made his way over to Rory. "Rory!" Rem flung his arms out wide, gesturing wildly. "Good to see you again!"

He turned to Leo, crossing his arms, "Are you going to leave your friend all alone with me? How gryffindor of you, you choose to leave her alone with me and Glacier? That's..smart." he smirked and added, "I like you Leo, is that your name? Leo?"

Lily smiled at Vine then blinked a few times, "Okaaaay.. you guys clearly aren't in a good mood today, forgive me for joining a conversation." She turned away from the Gryffindor girls, hurt by the comment about her laugh. It was not her fault she was easily amused.. Instead she turned her attention to study Rory.

Tyler blinked, listening to the boy speak. Didn't he ever got tired? Or slow down? He watched as the boy made his way over to the Gryffindor table. Basil had made him sound so... different. He watched the boy for a couple more seconds before going to pull out a book and opening it, skimming the pages.

OOC: Thanks Rem. -.- I'm not that boring, am I?

The Gryffindor boy looked up a bit, hearing the familiar nickname from his friend. Oh yeah, the chickens. He had almost forgotten. He waved one hand a bit in greeting to his loud friend. "Remy...ngton." He yawned a bit in the middle of the sentance.

Leo shot an irritated glare towards a particularly loud Ravenclaw, yelling something about chickens, before turning back to Cel. 'Um ... so yeah.' She looked around the Hall. 'There's no one here I would want to ask anyway ... but I guess I should give everyone the opportunity?' Leo shrugged.
Her patience wearing thinner every second, Leo looked back at Lestrange. 'Yes, Lestrange, that is my name. And Cel can take care of herself.' Leo glanced at Cel, a little uncertain. Once again, she got the feeling there was something she was unaware of here.

ooc Course not ;) Remington is easily distracted.

"Tired?" Remington grinned, patting him on the back. "Here, have coffee -" Remington pushed a cup of coffee towards him, "- or tea -" a cup of tea this time, "- or would you like me to pour some water over your head?" Remington picked up a glass of water and held it over Rory's head. "I'm here to help."

"That's...perfect. You know green would look stunning on you, Cecilia. Your hair will suit the color well. Just a suggestion." he said with a wink and turned his head towards Remington and Rory, "Who is that kid you always seem to talk to?" he asked Lily.

OOC: -grins.- You don't know who I am, do you?

ooc Basil.

Cecilia shook her head, "For this once... no. Just select only a few. I'm sure you know who to pick. Lockhart might become a little jealous and insist that his club is the only one if he learns too much of it." The thought made her grin a bit, but she looked back at Lestrange, wishing he'd just let the issue go.
"I think I'm perfectly fine with red thanks, Lestrange. I prefer it."

The boy noded a bit and muttered something along the lines of; "James...'sploding snap... paper ball...Snape..." With unintelligable grumbles. He blinked a few times when a cup of coffe then a cup of tea was pushed at him. He reached with sluggish hands for the coffe, ignoring the Ravenclaw for a moment. He sat up, only to realize something was held over his head. He jumped a bit. "C-Cold!"
