Peter could take it no longer. His stomach was beginning to sound like a grizzly bear, and he had ate his last chocolate frog he had left from the train ride to Hogwarts. It was very late.. Or was it very early? He felt like it had been at least 6 hours since the sun had gone down, so it absolutely had to be past midnight. Was it early enough for breakfast? Peter would find out. He had to. Starvation was going to take hold of him, he was sure of it. He wasn't really sneaking around, but he wasn't casually walking either. Trying to avoid ghosts, teachers, and paintings, Peter made his way down the seven floors of staircases to the Great Hall. He could still see the moon out, but it looked as if the sunrise would be arriving shortly. He sighed, closed his eyes, and pushed the giant doors that led to the Great Hall open, nervously approaching whatever was awaiting him. Peter had never been happier. Lying right upon the Ravenclaw table, were three giant heaping stacks of pancakes. Mass amounts of butter and syrup surrounded them. It was almost like magic.. Tehe.  Peter approached the pancakes, licking his lips the whole time through, and reached for a plate. Stacking a tower of pancakes, he smothered them in their toppings, adding some fruit as well. He began munching down, grinning as he ate. It was lonely, but it was food. Peter hoped no one would find him.. Or perhaps he hoped someone would. |

Sawyer came to eat. He was one to make friends with anyone excluding elves. He started to go to his table, but he saw a Ravenclaw sitting alone. Being alone in a big place is not a good thing. He decided to go over and he did. He sat down across from him. "Hi." He said in a soft tone. He didn't care about being judged. "I hope you don't mind me sitting over here. I promise I won't bite." He said with a bright smile. He loved the idea of making as many friends as possible. He didn't care what house they were from.

Bite after bite, it was as if the pancakes were only getting more delicious! Peter chomped away at them, leaving no extra room in his what was once empty stomach. He'd already smeared enough butter and syrup on them to clog any normal human beings arteries, and he loaded more strawberries after every pancake was eliminated from the stack. In the midst of his eating, he hardly noticed someone approaching him. He gulped a giant bite down, and turned to the new boy before him.
"Hello there!" Peter mumbled, his cheeks stuffed full with pancakes. He realized how rude he was being and swallowed them abruptly. "Good morning! Pancakes?" he offered, nodding to the giant stack on front of him. Not even Peter could eat all of them. He would need some help. "Names Peter by the way," he beamed, sticking out his sticky hand for the boy to shake. "Uh, never mind that then.. But I do think it's quite alright of you sit at Ravenclaws table! It's quite early and we're sure to be the only people here."

Sawyer saw the Ravenclaw going to town on the pancakes. He nodded. "I like pancakes." He admitted. He learned that he was named Peter. "I'm Sawyer." He shook his hand. He got most likely syrup on his hand from the handshake. He grabbed his napkin and wiped his hand off under the table. He hoped that it didn't make Peter mad. "Cool. I never got why people hated people for being in different houses." He grabbed some pancakes and began eating. "SO good!" He continued eating.

Aysel marched down the great hall, she was patrolling alright. Seemed there was a bit of law breakin going on here. It always starts with the little stuff and then before you know it BOOM you'll have slytherins in the hufflepuff dorms and gryffindors on the ravenclaw quidditch team whaaat? no! Not on my watch.
"PERPETRATOR!" she shouted loudly as if on duty. She had spoted him alright. That... that..... GRYFFINDOR. How criminal!How nefarious! And in the great hall of all places? Where food was eaten..... on such a sacred turf this.. this... THING decides to dishonor it?! She grabbed him by his shoulders and growled into his ears ".... no.... " she tugged him back with all her might "gryffindors....."she mumbled, slamming him into the ground "ALLOWED! YOU HEAR?!" she stomped on his chest, leaned forward until she was right in his face and shook her fist at him threateningly.

Sawyer was enjoying the pancakes at the Ravenclaw table, but it was too soon wonderful. He felt someone grab by his shoulders and shout in his ear. "Hey." He said with a sad look on his face. He thought this girl was out there. He was slammed into to the ground. "Stop it!" He shouted. He knew this would create a scene. He didn't like making a big scene in front of people. Then the girl stomped on his chest. He exasperated. It was hard to breathe for a moment as he struggled to breathe as tears came to his eyes. He tried to speak words, but it took a little a bit to talk. "Stop... hurting... me." He stated at her with an upset look on his face. This was one girl he would never ask to the ball.

Abi skipped down tot he hall, never stopping to think that it was quite early for the students to be up. She didn't pause her joyful stride even a moment to consider the fact that she might get in trouble, it never occurred to her. She had a hard time sleeping, being so excited for the term to finally start, that she had barely slept a wink. When her stomach had started telling her that it was time to find something to put in it, she hadn't wasted anytime decided that anything was better than laying in bed staring at the dark.
Soon enough,s he found herself in the Great Hall. She had only barely slipped through the door when she heard and saw the commotion. It took her a few moments before she figured out what exactly was happening.
"Cranky much?" she blurted as she approached the strange girl. "Maybe you should have gotten more sleep. Sounds like you forgot to sleep long enough to even wake up on the wrong side of the bed."
She flopped down in a chair not far from the boy wolfing down pancakes. She reached over and snagged a couple for herself, skipping the syrup and even butter. She ate them just like toast.
"Chill girly. Its not illegal for houses to mix, they do it at Christmas all the time when there aren't enough students to fill the hall," she quipped between bites. "Besides, aren't we supposed to have some kind of inter-house cooperation and such?"

What happened next was a blur. Peter was as confused as he could have possibly been, but e never stopped eating. As he watched the Hufflepuff girl in, her fists clenched in rage, strut up to the newly introduced Sawyer, and slam him to the stone floor, Peter was taken aback. "Hey! What's the big deal?" Peter asked the girl. She wasn't a prefect, she didn't have a badge. She had no right to be pushing students around. Had the school year begun Hufflepuff would have surely lost a few good house points due to her foolishness.
As Peter kept chewing, quirking an eyebrow at the situation before him, he watched as another young girl approached. He stopped eating, only for a moment, to prepare himself for a bashing. But he let out a deep death of relief when he noticed the girl was as angry as he was. He nodded in agreement as he listened to the girl speak. "This years term hasn't even started yet.." he stated. "I'm sure they wouldn't mind us getting to know each other. Plus it's super early," he spoke, nodding to the morning sky through the windowsill.
"Can't we all just enjoy some pancakes? Sawyer and I were just digging in when you interrupted us," he spat, taking a gulp of his orange juice. "What is your name?" he asked the more polite of the two girls. She was a Ravenclaw, and obviously had more intelligence than the Hufflepuff. You didn't see her walking around slamming random people for sitting at the wrong table. That was a straight hate crime!

Aysel watched as he gasped for enough breath to spit out his words. ;D Sweet. maybe he'd learn his lesson now! "Well? What do you have to say about yourself... and this.... insidious act? Do you think you're ABOVE the law mr... mr... " but before she could think of a good name for this rebel, a mutiny was forming before her!
Not... illegal.... NOT ILLEGAL.
BLASPHEMOUS!
"Oh sure then I suppose it'd be okay for the ravenclaws to deposit their points for hufflepuff too then. Cause ya know.. inter-house cooperation?" She glowered at the girl. Fool! Did no one understand the severity of the situation!!! NO! Too bad those badges she ordered weren't ready yet. I could have given them a fine Oh well. Maybe next time.
Her eyes glazed over the table.... pancakes...mmm.. ".... I'll be confiscating these" she looked both ways before snatching the pancake out of Abagael's hand and pocketing it. ".... these too" she grabbed Peters plate of pancakes away "Next time think twice before fraternizing with the enemy" she started to eat some pancakes, the gryffindor boy was sort of growing on her... he made a nice footrest

Sawyer was in pain. His chest hurt bad. Luckily another Ravenclaw came. He listened to the Ravenclaws. He couldn't really talk very well. He felt embarrassed that a girl beat him up with no effort at all. The Hufflepuff girl made him a footrest. He didn't like this. He pushed her feet away. He moved and got up slowly. "Why? Why...can't... you... be nice?" He asked as he tried to snatch the pancakes from her grasp. He grabbed the plate and pulled. He was one of the shortest first years. Even this girl was taller than him. He was pretty much skin and bones.

IM READY! IM READY! IM READY!
Hazel's yells out into the Great Hall, with her arms up in the air, running around the house table's like a mad person. But it's all fun and games for her, "OH YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She said as she finally stopped at a table where she see's two boys and two girls that seem to be around her age.
"HIYA!" She said waving her hands like crazy, she was just in a good mood today, "Watchya doing!" She said to them with a wide smile. |

Randy couldn't sleep. He was soo nervous about leaving his home and his parents that he stayed up all night thinking about it. He checked his clock and decided it was late enough so he wouldn't get in trouble by a patrolling teacher for leaving his dormitory. He put on a robe over his bright blue boxers (he wasn't exactly expecting to meet anyone) and slippers on his feet and made his way down to the Great Hall.
Hogwarts, being a large place, was easy to get lost in even for the most senior teachers, and Randy quickly realized he had no clue where he was. By the time he found himself in the Great Hall, he had already been wandering around for quite some time and there were already students eating a very early breakfast. Approaching the hall, the heard some sort of commotion. Students sounded like they were yelling. As he got close to them, he remembered most of them from the Sorting Ceremony that had taking place not too long ago. He recognized one of them as a kid from his own house.
Not wanting to get involved, Randy walked past them, over to his own table. He sat down and poured himself orange juice, suddenly wishing he had put some pants on before he left.

Hazel stoud there waiting for the kids she came up to say hi to to respond to her. After a while she notice she wasnt getting anything from them, she started to think to her, IM INVISABLE!!! and a smile came to her face. Hazel then thought she can get away with anything now. So Hazel start to skip once more around the house tables, "NO ONE CAN SEE ME! NO ONE CAN SEE ME!" She sang with joy.
And as she about to finsh skipping, she notice a boy be himself. So being the nice girl she is, she skipped her way over and sat next to him. She looked at him and smiled, "HIYA!" She said to him.

Randy wasn't really keen on waiting for responses either  He wasn't a particularly shy person, but he was truly culture shocked. He stared in awe at the food that magically--literally--appeared on his table. Any and every breakfast food he could ever imagine manifested on his little portion of the huge oak table, and he was completely mystified. But he was also starving, and he needed something to wake up his lethargic body. He started chowing down on some syrup-soaked pancakes when a very excited girl jumped onto the bench beside him and practically yelled at him. He jumped, startled, and simply looked at her, wondering if everyone here was like this. "Good morning.." He said awkwardly, feeling unprepared for this encounter. "How are you..?.." |

Unfortunately Aysel was keen on waiting for others, which now left her hanging.... the numbness began to take a toll on her body. Throughout that moment of silence she hardly noticed more criminals in the vicinity until she was awoken by a loud shout. "whuzzat?" .... More? There were moree?> Gryffindors.. Hufflepuffs.... Ravenclaws... ohmy. She had to end this, right now!
"I said no.. MORE!" She shouted loudly, grabbing a fistfull of pancakes from the gryffindors plate, the syrup spilled between her fists from all the impending rage and she smushed it into Randys face. "You want more? Hm? Hm? Still feeling hungry?!" she shouted and grabbed another handful, ready to smush more when the scent of warm pancakes wafted before her. Instead of proceeding with more punishment she ate the handful of pancakes and munched thoughtfully. "mmm.. these really are good" ... she gasped,"CONSPIRACY!" The ravenclaw pancakes were superior to other houses pancakes. No wonder house order must be attained!!!
