The Great Hall

He smiled shyly at her compliment. "Thank you. Your girlfriend, if you've got one that is, is really lucky to have you too. You're really very nice and sweet and all that junk."

'I suppose we'd call each other that by now.' her smile was faint, almost wistful. 'I just try to be kind to everyone i suppose, i'd feel too guilty otherwise.'

"You do have a girlfriend?! What's her name? Maybe I know her." Ha, fat chance Teddy.

'Aqua' she answered meekly, blinking. 'she's really sweet.'

He shook his head. "I don't know her, but hopefully I'll have the pleasure of meeting her soon."

'ill talk to her for ya. she's very..mischievous.' she noted, smiling.

"Then you two must make a wonderful couple."

'i doubt many would say that.' she added, shrugging. 'we usually cause a lot of trouble.'

"But as a couple you guys must be really cute together."

'Unless you're a homophobe, then people think we're disgusting.' she remarked, angling her gaze at the floor. 'We're lucky people aren't as homophobic here y'know.' Keanna directed that comment to both her and Teddy.

He laughed at the thought of him being a homophobe. "Yes, I've actually got a few confessions. My name is Teddy and I'm a homophobe, but I have an issue with that. You see, I'm gay and I have the sexiest boyfriend," he said in a sarcastic tone.

'i meant people in general.' she mumbled, cringing.

His voice softened, "I know what you meant. I was just trying to make a joke out of it..."

'Im sorry, i have a strange sense of humour'

Phaze was digging into the first proper meal he'd had in a year. It reminded him of his adoptive parents. Shame he had to kill them.

While he stuffed his face with food, he was also searching for food to satisfy his friend. Phaze scouted the Great Hall for anyone who seemed happy, but also wouldn't be missed. Finding several suitable candidates, he continued to focus on his own meal.

"You're looking in the wrong spot for victims you know." I tell him as I approach from behind.

Phaze lifted his head, allowing the food to fall out of his mouth.

"Whatever. As long as I find someone 'e'll be fine."

Phaze looked both ways before stuffing his hat with food; a natural habit that seemed to never go away.

"Everyone's in a conversation with someone here. No room for ambiguity."

Phaze placed his hat on his head, ignoring the gravy running down his face he turned to Crouch.

"I got my methods, right? I just wait for 'em to leave and I jump 'em when 'ey're alone. I just stupefy 'em, and take 'em to the forest." Phaze leaned back in his chair in pride "Pretty good plan, eh sunshine?"

Seriously, it's called a napkin. Even I'm not this sloppy when it comes to raw meat.

"Tell me, for what reason do you hunt?"

Phaze looked at Crouch as if he were an idiot.

"To feed you-know-'oo." He winked at Crouch "You know, my mate in the forest? I thought that was pretty obvious."

"Outside of that I mean.. like do you enjoy it?"

"Well, yeah. Why wouldn't I? I get to ruin the lives of those bloody mudbloods. What's not to enjoy?"

I grin crazily at him, "Good answer...."

Phaze grinned back, revealing he still hadn't brushed his teeth since arriving at Hogwart's.

"Thanks. I'm just doing my part to 'elp make this world a bet'er place."
