Lunch and a good book

"well there is quidditch though i understand if you don't want to play a game aginst me. then thats about it for me." she wispered. "like i said you could try to teach me how to draw or something. but that would take a lot of work. if you rember i have no artistic bone in my body. or we could just hang out like right now." be sides the apple she didn't touch anything eals on the table now. it was almsot like she was afrade it would hurt her if she ate to much. she hadn't told any one about he eating problem and she wasn't about to.

Elijah made a face at the mention of Quidditch. "Err...shall we skip Quidditch?" He asked. "It's really not my thing anymore. I don't think it ever was to be honest." He shrugged and lifted the goblet of black current juice to his lips. He drank some of it and set it back down again. "Why aren't you eating?" Elijah asked, frowning. He took a bread roll out of one of the bowls and took a cub of soup. He ripped up some of the bread and dunked it in the sound before lifting the bread to his mouth.

"Yeah we could skip quidditch." Cecilia said as she watched as her brother ate the bread after diping it in the soup. "i'm not really hungry." she said lieing but not really lieing becuase she was like never hungry any more. "i only eat when im hungry any more. its just the way i have been for the past two years or so." she understood that he probly hadn't noticed since he was sitting at the slythern table and not the raveclaw table with her.

Ah, the Great Hall. Loved by many wizards and witches alike. Including one Ezra Laurisi. What a nice place, perhaps even one to meet a girl. He hoped. Herein lie his chance, a pretty young Ravenclaw girl. But then, a familiar face. The guy he had a quarrel with at the Great Lake, the one who threw Cheeto. What the hell was he doing here? That's the question that boggled his mind. What was such a jerk doing with such a pretty lady?

Oh well, he'd try anyway. He walked over to Cecilia, completely ignoring Eli.

"So, what's a pretty lady like you doing in a place like this?"

"well," cecilia said to the guy "i was reading untill eli took my book. trying to ruin the ending for me. though he didn't do such a good job." she glanced at her brother for a minute to she what he was thinking about this guy. "what are you doing here?" she asked not sure what eals so say then she started to run her fingers throw her hair. she had her head tilited to the side a little.

Elijah rolled his eyes and turned away, grabbing another bread roll. He ripped up some more of the roll he had, dipped it in the soup and deposited it in his mouth. He didn't want to deal with Ezra. The guy was all mouth and no trousers and if he wasn't careful he wouldn't have either. "This is Hogwarts, idiot, she has no choice." Elijah snapped after swallowing the bread. "Leave her alone, okay? She doesn't need a bloody useless Gryffindor in her life." Elijah had seen what Andrew had done to Chase. He didn't want that to happen to his sister. Ezra would be a dead man walking if he even thought about hurting Cecilia.

Ezra looked over at Eli, "Will you shut up? You may be her brother, and I respect that, but I would never hurt such a pretty lady like her. What really surprises me is that she's your sister". He would've gone beyond that, but he wanted to be the bigger person. He then started talking to Cecilia again, "He's quite mean to you, isn't he? Anyway, I just came in here to eat, but I was distracted by you. Taken with your beauty. I don't see how a brother can be so mean to his little sister". He smiled warmly.

Oh, how he hated Gryffindors. It wasn't even the house rivalry but it seemed as if all of the Gryffindors were the same; obtuse, rude and depthless. Ezra was a stock Gryffindor and if the conflict at the lake wasn't enough for him then flirting with Elijah' s sister was a great way to go about irritating the already irate Slytherin. "Oh yes, terribly mean," Elijah sneered at Ezra in disgust. He felt like making a remark about Ezra's dirty blood but Elijah held his tongue. He wasn't a cruel person unless the situation warranted him to be but Ezra was scum, not even good enough to shine the shoes that the Muggles walked in. Elijah rolled his eyes at the way the idiot was speaking to his sister. Elijah didn't usually care but Ezra he couldn't stand. "Don't strain yourself," He mocked. "If you try to be too charming your brain cells might explode."

"I thought I told you to shut up!" Ezra was blood-red with anger. He stomped over to Eli, snarling. "Your sister can think for herself, she doesn't need your help! She is a smart lady, why do you think she got sorted into Ravenclaw? Hm? Shouldn't she learn how to make the right choices on her own? Ravenclaws are the best at that". He bit his tongue at saying anything particularly nasty, for he wanted to show some restraint. "My brain cells explode? At least I have brain cells, I bet the amount you have can be counted on one finger".

Cecilia shook her head at the two boys. she had found that this ezra guy was actully kind of cute. though he did have kind of an ugly attituted towrd her brother. she then addressed Ezra "He is really alot nicer than you seem to thank. You just have to be sure not to harm his snake or get on his bad side in any way." she had hurd about that little fox that had bitten eli's pet then of corse eli had to come to the snakes rescue and throw the fox cub in the lake. Despite everything that had happend between her brother and Ezra Cecilia couldn't help but find a likeing for him.
