Darius stopped in the massive arched doorway of the great hall, and waited for the group to catch up to him. Darius excitedly surveyed the room, and saw a few other students eating and chatting. He ran over an empty section of the Ravenclaw table and chose a stool directley in front of the biscuits and gravy, and began to dollop large portions of food on his plate. Although unbelievably wiry for his size, Darius could eat enormus amounts (when he remembered to eat at all between his busy schedules).

Ginny walked into the Great hall. She was starving. She saw Darius eating. She waived to him and went to the Griffindor table to eat. She piled her plate with food and began to eat.

"Hi!" Darius shouted to Ginny across the Hufflepuff and Slytherin tables, his greeting hardly audible through the food in his mouth.

Primrose swept into the Great Hall, wearing her signature pale blue robes with her hair swept back into an elegant french braid. Diamonds twinkled delicately at her ears. She surveyed the room, and noticed that strange Prefect boy from earlier that morning, sitting next to a freckled girl. She sat next to him, and poured herself some pumpkin juice, grimacing at the greasy array of food in front of her. "Disgusting, isn't it. Not a salad in sight! And I've been craving caviar desperately...oh well."

As the girl sat next to him, Darius grew stiff and awkward. She had quite a repuation already, did Darius dare let her have a chance of insulting him? But the new prefect badge on Darius' robes made him feel quite powerful, so he responded, "Yes, but this gravy's very good, even though it's made of all the giblets. Gravy's my favorite food!" Darius wiped some crusted gravy from his cheek and pointed enthusiastically to the end of the table. "I think i can see some seasonal produce in a basket over there..."

Primrose stared, disgusted, at the gravy that was pooling in little grey blobs on his plate. She grimaced. "Gravy? Your favorite food? It's so...so..." she shuddered. "Anyways. I think I will just have some of this bread here. It looks quite harmless." She took a bite, and it exploded with custard. "UGH!" she cried.

Ginny looked at Darius she began to laugh. She noticed a girl sitting next to him. "Good Luck" She mouthed to Darius.

"What are you talking about?!" Darius attempted to sign to Ginny, but his voice squeaked out as well, chancing Primrose to hear. Darius huffed embarassedly and crossed his arms. Why did everyone think he liked her?! "I liked the custard rolls, but i prefer the ones with jelly," he guessed, trying to spark up a conversation and failing. It was harder to talk to Primrose than nailing jelly to the wall.

Primrose grew more and more disgusted with this boy. The society in this place! It was almost unbearable! "In France they have the best pastries. I don't bother with anything from here."

Ginny walked over to Darius and whispered into his ear so no one else would hear her. "Good Luck I heard she's crazy. " Ginny giggled.

"I'm finding out for myself and I think I agree with the gossip this time." He whispered back. "So..." Darius sighed, pushing his plate away, now full. "Who are you? Why have you come in during the middle of the school year?"

Primrose smiled with satisfaction. Another poor little boy fascinated with her. She flicked her hair over her shoulder, and began explaining. "Well, I'm Primrose Atherton. Surprised you haven't heard of me actually. Anyways, I came here so late as I was travelling in France for a while, visiting friends and doing all sorts of lovely things. I also was at Beauxbatons for a while, a lovely place. Their castle is SO much lovelier! Not cold and dreary like this one is! So, who are you? Where do YOU come from? Somewhere cold I bet. You are very pale. I got a lovely light tan when I was in St. Barths. Have you ever been there? A tan just makes anyone look so much healthier. And it contrasts so nicely with my hair, don't you think? Plus, then I can where warmer tones. Otherwise I just look gastly. Like a ghost! Though one time when I was approached for modelling, they just couldn't shut up about how 'in' pale skin was! And they also just adored my jaw angle. See here, how it arches up? Yours has quite a nice angle as well. And you have excellent cheekbones, very hollow, but almost...Im sorry to say this but, sunken." Primrose paused for breath, turning her perfectly makeuped eyes onto Darius' face.

Darius was shocked at how quickley she opened up. "Er...thank you for the compliment, someone told me the same thing once before but it was a relative, so I never really took it to heart. And I am rather sunken, but it's genetic. My dad was the same way, only much less fortunate looking." Darius allowed himself a tight smile. "And about where I live, I used to live in Shropshire, it's a place in Eastern England, but it's not any colder than any other place, just cold and rainy like always. Never reaches higher than 27 Celcius. I did stay indoors alot though, which probably contributes to the hue of my skin. There's no point in going outside when the lawn is always wet, and the sky always threatening rain. I do miss home, though." Darius looked Primrose in the face, and noted the angles, the colors, and the shapes of her head. Her looks were very distinct, and although she looked rather like a doll, the angles of her face cast shadows that made her quite alluring to stare at. Darius had the feeling that she wouldn't mind him staring at her, since she was so conceited anyway. When he was finished, he said, "Yes, I can see your tan. It's almost light olive...do you use facial cream?" Darius guessed. He had heard that term from his two sisters, who enjoyed fashion and gossip magazines. Darius wasn't too interested in what her answer would be, but he waited for her to talk, so he could stay next to her for longer. He had become obsessed the power she emitted.
