Nicole groaned, and banged her head lightly against the table. "Need..hot..bath" she groaned. Alyssa tore a drumstick off of the warm juicy turkey, and bit into it. "Then.take one?" "Too lazy," she replied, almost smooshing her face in her plate of food. "Eat," Lily said, gesturing towards the food. "Not hungry," she complained again. She stood up, and left the great hall toward the dormitories. "What's with her?" Lily asked. "She seemed fine at Hogwarts." "Probably PMS," Lindsay chuckled. "You know how women get" "Unfortunately," Lindsay joined in. "Tomorrow's the Halloween ball. You got a date?" Alyssa asked, biting off the skin of her drumstick. "Sadly, no," Lily said. "I thought you had a date before?" she asked, with her mouthfull. "What happened?" "Well.let's just say he turned out to be a big loser," she said, glancing over to the end of the table, where she could see Stepanie laughing at Remus. James had put a spell on him. It seemed his arms and legs were flailing everywhere, as James and Sirius laughed at him. Remus was laughing at himself. James released it, and his head had fallen into the mashed potatoes on his plate. "You okay Rem?" James asked between chuckles. Remus looked up, with potatoes and cranberry sauce smeared all over his face. "I think I'll be fine," he said, as the cranberry on his nose fell on to his lap. "Don't forget James Potter. I'll get you back for this one." James chuckled again. "Sure you will Rem.Sure you will." Alyssa rolled her eyes, but couldn't manage supressing little giggles under her breath. "you know, they do act like idiots," Lily said. "They may be stupid idiots, but they're funny idiots." "Ah yes," Lindsay sighed. "I hate that Stephanie Parker though. Too bad he's not single," she thought to herself. Her eyes seemed to twinkle a bit, and she managed to hide a smile.
