[Great Hall]Oh, Troll Droppings~Open

[charly]

It was a lovely morning, and Charlotte daintly skipped into the Great Hall. The sight that fill her vision made her gawk in surprise, plus make her stomach growl even more ravenously. The place was huge, lately she had been skipping breakfast trying to catch up, coming in a term late and all, but this…This was huge! The young girl grinned wildly and tried to walk as slow as possible, proceeding in tripping over her own shoes as she made her way to the table.

She sat down at an empty plate and stifled a giggle of excitement. She loved food, almost as much as creatures… In fact, probably just as much. Yes. Animals and food were on the same level of being loved. She leaned forward snatching a large amount of bacon, a muffin, some kippers, a giant gob of porridge, a buttered roll, a good size of eggs, and last but not least, a hearty glass of orange and pumpkin juice, which she had mixed half-and-half together. She took a long gulp from the glass, licking the remains off her lips instead of wiping it off with a napkin.

She ravenously began to dig in, scooping odd mixtures of food and cramming them into her mouth, as if the food would disappear any second. She stopped for a moment and looked up an down the table. There wasn’t that many first years, in fact she could only see about one or two that could possibly be first years but, that was it. She frowned and set her fork down, swallowing the food she had stuffed into her cheek. Feeling rather small, she would probably be picked on, now, because few first years probably meant a less amount of kids to pick on. She suddenly felt very dizzy, and quite scared.

“Oh troll droppings!...” she cursed sadly.

[Maeve Malfoy]

Maeve yawned as she ate her muffins. Just a yesturday she was eating with a group of Slytherins and they all had a big arguement, so now some of them aren't speaking to eachother. Hopefully that would change soon. She hated it when friends didn't speak. Although, she wasn't in the arguement but they all ate at different times now and she wanted to eat with all of them, so she took her time.

She watched as the doors opened revealing a small, but happy, little girl. Maeve remembered it was a first year Hufflepuff. Not many first years this year, though. Through breakfast she kept an eye on the girl and watched her expression of happiness change to sheer frightfulness. Maeve shook her head, and looked to the Gryffindor table. She spotted Aiden with his friends, and remembered what he said about himself giving chances to everyone no matter the house.

Maeve looked back over at the scared girl and picked up two apples; a green one and yellow one. She walked over to the Hufflepuff table and sat next to the girl. She handed the girl the yellow apple and joked, "You shouldn't eat so fast, you might choke." Maybe she should listen to her own advice, Maeve ate pretty fast too sometimes. Looking at the girl, she said, "Hey, what's wrong?"

[charly]

The small girl jumped slightly then turned to look at the much older student. There seemed a brief moment that she would cry but it soon faded, she didn't seem like she was about to pick on her. So her fears weren't going to be fulfilled this early. She grinned and lightly took the Apple from the girl, noticing the color. She grinned even wider, it was the same color as her house, and this thrilled her in some strange way.

"Ah i don't choke!" she said softly; slightly shy, "I just haven had a decent breakfast, so i guess I'm just a little overexcited... and well nothings wrong..really." she began to mumble but then turned to look at her food, she didn't know if she should tell the older girl about her fear, it would be a big mistake if it was the wrong person. She looked back and decided to give in. If she messed up and ended up trusting the wrong girl, she'd just find someone else much nicer and much more trustworthy.

"Well, you see theres not many first years. I've only met a handful of Hufflepuff first years and well, I was thinking, I'll probably get teased and picked on much more than anyone else." she grinned and said in a sort of laughing way, trying to shrug off her nervousness, "I think so, because I'm much more smaller and scrawnier and, most people seem to target those sorts of people. You know.. she looked at the apple in her hand twiddled it back and forth between her left and right hands.

[Maeve Malfoy]

Maeve laughed. "You think you're going to get picked on, huh?" she smiled brightly, taking a bite from her apple. After swallowing, she said, "I remember when I picked on first years." she paused to see the girl's reaction. Looking at the girl, she smirked. "It was when I was a first year, myself." she laughed again. "You can trust the majority, not all, of the older Slytherins, believe it or not, not to pick on you. We're having too much fun picking on those older than us and the same age."

Putting her arm around the girl, she added, "Having Slytherins has friends isn't all too bad that people will crack it up to be. Heck," she said, deciding to watch her language, "We can try to protect you when the other people pick on you. If anyone picks on you." she took a bite of the apple again, swalling it before continuing. "Do you know how many pranks we pull on older students? Our reputation has basically taking a U-turn on picking on little first years like yourself."

"Now," she said, seriously. "There will be people who do feel like picking on you. Just come to me, Bellatrix Black, or Narcissa Black, my cousins, and we'll do something to stop them. Trust me, it's fun dungbombing them when they least expect it." she went back to grinning.

[narcissablack]

Narcissa had heard the last sentence of the conversation between Maeve, her cousin, and a little firstie. "Yeah, we can do them up real good if they try and tease you." She smiled at them, "Im Narcissa Black, Maeve's cousin,"

[Maeve Malfoy]

Maeve turned her head to Narcissa. "Oh, hey, didn't see you in here. Just get here?" she looked back at the first year. "And we're being serious. We can do pretty nasty things to them if you haven't heard what us Blacks and Malfoy can do. So, I forgot to ask of your name. Mine's Maeve Malfoy."

[willowbeufay]

Willow had taken her seat at the hufflepuff table not too long before, she thought it was strange to see Slytherins here. So eavesdropping had seemed like a good time at the moment. Pondering the conversation she had just heard, she decided to but in, "Hi, I'm Willow. I sortof heard your conversation, and as for your fears, when they arent taking care of you in the halls and stuff I can keep an eye out for you in the common room. I'm pretty small myself but there is no limit to what us petit girls can do." she offered with a smile.

[narcissablack]

Narcissa smiled at the girl. "See, no reason to worry, we got your back." She turned to her cousin. Most people thought Slytherin's were always mean, and never considerate. But this wasn't the case.

[bellatrixblack]

"Oh, definitley," agreed Bella, walking up behind them. "Well, as long as you have our backs." Bella added, referring to her little spat with Marishka during quidditch practice. She still hadnt fully forgiven Maeve for that.

[narcissablack]

Narcissa laughed to herself. Bella didn't forgive easily. But
CissY had to admit, Maeve hadn't stuck up for them like she should have. Narcissa was the kind of person to do anything to stick up for her sister, which she usually ended up doing.

[bellatrixblack]

Bella exchanged smiles with her sister. "Really though, i quite enjoy picking on first years. It's just good fu. Especially the Hufflepuffs. But you seem okay, so i will refrain from doing it to you."

[narcissablack]

Narcissa laughed knowing it was true. "Your lucky, Bella doesn't do that often." She smiled at the girl, reaching for a glass of orange juice.

[Maeve Malfoy]

Maeve sighed when she heard Bella's comment. Knowing exactly what her cousins meant, she instantly felt small again. "I could've sworn I've said sorry a million times since then." she mumbled, taking a bite of apple. "I'm just a stupid fifteen year old cousin who wasn't thinking and now is paying the price." she said, looking at her newly bone-healed hand. "A bludger hit my hand a few minutes after you all left, anyway. Isn't that enough punishment and torture?" she didn't mind the broken bones, it was staying in the hospital wing for hours that was painful. "How many more times do I have to say sorry?"

[bellatrixblack]

"When did you say sorry?" Bella demanded. "All I know is that you agreed with Marishka when she was being rude to me! I didn't know quidditch was that important to you, sorry!"

Bella was still rather mad, but wasn't willing to lose Maeve's friendship over it. It would make family gatherings rather not fun.

[Maeve Malfoy]

Maeve turned a bit red in the cheeks. "I said it last night when I got back." she said, quietly, still feeling small. "I don't think you all were listening because you all went up to your dorms and I sort of whispered it." she played with her fingers now. "So, I'm guessing that one didn't really count, huh?" She looked down. "I'm really sorry, Bella and Cissy. I should've gone with you. I seriously wasn't thinking. You know me well wnough when the time comes to think, I don't unless someone tells me to. Either that or I do really stupid crap. Like that."
