She stifled a giggle behind her sleeve, sitting up to turn and look at him, the candles that hung from the ceiling of the Great Hall reflecting in her hazel eyes. "Ssh! The headmaster's talking. And we can't just get rid of the hat, it's always been here."

He scowled, impatiently tapping his foot against the stone slabs that made up the floor of the Great Hall. "Do you really listen to them? It's just the same old 'Don't go into the Forbidden Forest and follow the caretaker's rules'. I'm so hungry that I'd eat that blasted hat if I had to." The tapping made a dull noise that was drowned out by the voice of the headmaster and the irregular shuffling of the other Ravenclaws around him.

Ricardo shrugged. "If that's what you want. All I'm saying is, you should at least stat to make the attempt." He sat up, leaning his head against the armrest. "Hey, maybe you could sit in at Qudditch tryouts. Watch from the stands. Maybe talk to someone, I dunno."

The Ravenclaw grinned, glancing around the Great Hall to pass the time. The droning of the head teacher's voice, along with the flickering candles that illuminated the vast room, aroused a yawn from her. Great. Hungry and tired. Her gaze passed over the Gryffindor table and she wondered where Ricardo was. He had been strangely subdued on the journey there, as had Leo. Perhaps it was family problems. She shrugged, looking to the head of the Great Hall to watch the headteacher again. It was none of her business anyway.

Giovanni glanced at Tessa. "Where's Ricardo?" His voice contained a note of worry.

As the headmaster finished his speech and wished the students to have a good year, heap upon heap of food appeared from the golden platters that had lined the tables. Xander let out a content sigh as a pleasant aroma wafted through the air. "The house elves have really outdone themselves today." He commented, picking up a fork and twirling it around his fingers. "But this is the Great Hall, I guess I can't expect any less from Hogwarts."

She frowned. "I haven't seen him since we got off the train. Do you think he's okay?" She acknowledged Xander with a smile, reaching for her goblet and watching as it filled to the brim with pumpkin juice.

Giovanni shifted uncomfortably. "There's something that's been bothering him... But I'm just worried as to where he's gone off to."

"I've noticed that too," she glanced down at her plate, taking the cutlery into one hand delicately. Of course I've noticed it. "Well there's not much we can do except ask him what's wrong."

Giovanni stared at his plate, nodding. "We can ask him at breakfast tomorrow." Should I tell her what I already know?

She murmured her agreement. "I hope he's okay. It's not like him to be like this."

I mean, I've already reached my limit for socializing today, I think." |

He sighed, nodding. "I just hope he gets it off his chest soon. But he'll only ever tell us once he's ready."
"Well, it's next week Friday, so you have plenty of time to think."

"Okay... I'll consider it, then." He looked down at Ricardo. "You were talking with that other boy about Quidditch on the carriage ride here."

"I guess so," she said, poking at the chicken half-heartedly with her fork. What was the matter with her? She had been so ready to eat only ten minutes ago, and now she felt like any morsel of food would turn her stomach.

Xander coughed. "I've always seen him as a pretty cool guy and I know it has nothing to do with me- heck I barely know you people- but if it was really important, I'm sure you'd be one of the first few to know."

"Yeah, Riley. I hope he tries out, he's got a great attitude. I hate having snobs on the team."
Giovanni sighed. "Well, actually... he's kind of already mentioned it to me. But it's not something that's my place to tell you. He thinks it'll... it'll change quite a bit. Not just with us, but with his family as well."

"Personally, I've never really been interested in the sport. Aren't you the captain though?"

Tessa looked up with a frown. She couldn't help but feel a little hurt. I wonder why he couldn't tell me.

"Wait a moment." He slowly shifted backwards, his voice dropping to a whisper. "He doesn't... He doesn't have some deadly disease, does he? Ah no- scratch that. Don't answer. I'm not supposed to pry into other people's business."
