She listeend and ate - hacing taken mostly mashed ptoatoes and softer foods. She hads ownr braces the previous summer, so her overbite was slowly fixing itself. Stil, she needed softer foods to eat while her teeth adjusted. Nearby, she heard Victoria greet her and smiled, turning to face her. Victoria was one of her best friend's, if one of the few. Tessa was selective when it came to her friend's. But Victoria was in her year and she had known her since first year. [color=yellow]"Thanks, Victoria! You too!"[/color] She giggled when Simed told her that his compartment had been filled with idiots. She wondered what his definition was of idiots, but couldn't question it sinScecorpious Malfoy III came over to the Slytherin table. TJ glanced over at him curiously and tried to disntguish his intentions. [b]"Look at you all. Yuck.[/b] Tessa rolled her eyes. Yuck? What was he talking about? And how rude! Normally she would've responded - yet, it was trheir head of house. Why would he be their head of House if he thought they were disgusting? In the back of her mind, she wondered if she looked gross. The piercing thought drove her crazy inside, yet she tried to reassure herself she was fine. Trying to push it out of her mind, she sighed and then looked over at Simon. His remark on taking points from the adults made her laugh. She began sipping her iced lemonade when he shouted ""Ten points taken away from Scorpius for being him!" She choked on her lemonadfe and spluttered, coughing. Her blue eyes were wide, but inside she was half amused and half horriifed. Though Simon stated he hadn't known Scorpious was beind him, it had been a bold move. Tesa wiped her mouth off with napkins that she deposited afterwards. Then, she looked at him and comfortingly rubbed his arm and pulled away. [color=yellow]'Sorry, I didn't know he was either since I'm beside you. My apologies." [/color]She glanced over to see him leave, then looked back at Simon. [color=yellow]"What's his problem anyway? So weird,"[/color]
