The Gryffindor Table

[Jake Crawley]

"I know," Jake said. "All done? We can go for that walk now."

[Nyssa Pond]

"Sounds good to me," Nyssa said standing up. She knew she should go back to the Common Room but she didn't want to deal with questions about her father's response.

[Jake Crawley]

Jake got up and left the Great Hall with Nyssa.

[Ron Weasley]

Ron walked into the Great Hall and perched himself down on the Gryffindor table after greeting a few fourth year girls who rather giggled at him bringing a basket. He just grinned at them and ignore their jest. He placed his bag and the basket aside as he took his usual servings of toasts,sausages and bacons. He pours himself some pumpkin juice before he start munching on the toasts.

[Ron Weasley]

Ron had finished his first servings of toasts,sausages and bacons and start filling up his plate with more as he start pricking his fork onto one sausage and was about to chew onto it when the owls start streaming into the Great Hall and he saw a familiar family owl flying down onto him and crashes into a plate of corns. "Bloody hell,Errol!" He exclaimed angrily and shook his head as he puts his fork down. He untied the letter which was possibly from his mother. He sighed and tore open the letter and he was right,it was his mother who he could imagine,nagging at him for not writing to her. He was relieved that she didn't send a Howler. He tore a piece of the toast and gave to Errol before telling the bird,"Go off to the Owlery. If I need you,I know where to find you." Errol hooted and flew off clumsily. He went on with his breakfast as he saw an abandon copy of the Daily Prophet and snatched it.

[Nyssa Pond]

Nyssa walked into the Great Hall still groggy from not sleeping well. She noticed Ron at the Gryffindor table and sat down across from him. She didn't like the looks she was getting from the Ravenclaws. "Morning," Nyssa greeted Ron.

[Ron Weasley]

"Good Morning,Nyssa." Ron greeted her as he looked up and saw the Ravenclaws giving her looks and were whispering. "What's up with them?" He pointed out to her.

[Nyssa Pond]

"My guess is that Gavin has been telling people about last night or they found out somehow," Nyssa said with a shrug before pouring herself a glass of juice.

[Ron Weasley]

"Last night? You mean when Ja-.. I mean. Nevermind." Ron said. "It's not mine to tell. It's Jake's." He told her. "Ignore them,Nyssa. Furthermore,ignore the dean! He's just... He should get over it!" He exclaimed and anger was brewing inside him.

[Nyssa Pond]

"Jake already told me about punching Gavin," Nyssa said with a nod. She shrugged at the rest of Ron's words, "It is Gavin problem I guess."

[Ron Weasley]

To that,Ron burst into laughters as he received a few glares from the Ravenclaws but he did not care. "I'm sorry,Nyssa. I mean. It's really funny and I'm glad Jake punched the dean,finally!" He said. "It is his problem. I mean.. He's out of the picture. People can't feel sorry for him every time. The way he acts,and everything. You were there for that guy every step of way. Even when he's in the hospital wing!" Ron exclaimed. "I mean,you don't even know where you stand and when Jake started giving you flowers,he claimed that you're his girlfriend and when things go sour,he expects to blame you for everything? That doesn't makes sense." He shook his head with a sigh.

[Nyssa Pond]

Nyssa usually defended Gavin but the way Ron explained things made perfect sense. "You're right," she said with a smile.

[Ron Weasley]

"Thank you. I'm glad you think so." Ron simply said with a smile. "Eat up. Stop talking about the dean anymore. It's making me lose my appetite but then again,I never have." He laughed.

[Nyssa Pond]

Nyssa laughed along with him before serving herself some pancakes covering them with raspberries.

[Ron Weasley]

Ron laughed lightly and seeing to that he had finished with his breakfast,he opened up the pages of the Daily Prophet and started reading as he accompany Nyssa having her breakfast. "Hey,Nyssa. I have a question. What do girls like?" He asked her carefully,just peering over the paper. "I mean,any things specific?"
