~Cedric~
Cedric entered the Great Hall and took his place at the Hufflepuff table. He still felt very weak, but he knew that he had to eat something to keep his strength up. He rubbed his temples with his fingers to release some of the pain in his head.
Cedric glanced to the Ravenclaw table and saw Cho in conversation with another Ravenclaw..he thought her name was Jennifer but he waasn't sure. He hoped that Cho did not see him, because he knew that he must look terrible.

Professor Snape was sitting at the Staff Table in the Great Hall eating his breakfast when he noticed Cedric Diggory come in & sit at the Hufflepuff table. He sighed sharply & rose from his seat after finishing his food. The boy had been sicker than a dog lately &, consequently, his work had been lacking.
He silently came up behind the students & looked down at the back of his head. "Diggory, I want to see you in my office. Stop by when you are finished with your meal." He glanced over the Hufflepuff students before turning & leaving without saying another word.

Cedric jumped when he heard Professor Snape's voice from behind him. He hated how he always did that..he was as silent as a cat stalking prey. He had just seen Snape sitting at the Staff table when he had entered. The man was a fast mover.
His heart sank when he realized that Snape wanted to see him in his office. It probably had to do with his last assignment. It had only been a few days before..he had been even sicker than he was now. His mind had definitly not been on Potions that day, and knew that he had fouled on the assignment. He turned to face him. "Yes Professor." He watched as Snape glared at his housemmates and then slithered away.
He tried to eat the rest of his meal, but found that he couldn't. Besides being sick, he was now nervous as well. He smiled weakly at his housemmates as he slowly rose and grabbed his backpack. "See you guys back in the Common room." He began walking towards Snape's office.

Draco~
Draco entered the Great Hall with Crabbe and Goyle, and found that most of the Slytherins were already present at the table. He was pleased to see that three chairs were left unoccupied for the three of them. Two second years had made the mistake of sitting in Crabbe and Goyle's designated seats the other evening. Draco smirked. Apparently they were not stupid enough to repeat the mistake.
He made his way to his seat, with the two goons behind him. As he sat, he nodded a greeting to all who looked as they approached. Draco glanced to the staff table, and saw that Professor Snape was absent. This was most unusual..he was ALWAYS there. He was more accurate than a clock. Draco's curiousness sent him into deep thought.

~Laurasia Malfoy~
Laurasia noticed as her cousin entered the Hall with his two best-friends. She was about to say hello when she noticed Draco fall into deep contemplation after noticing that Professor Snape wasn't at the Staff table.
"He took Diggory to his office," she said across the table. "And he didn't look too pleased I might add," she said before beginning to eat again.

Draco looked up as Laurasia spoke. He felt a smile slowly cross his face. "Diggory?? Goody-goody Diggory?? In trouble with Snape? Oh, this is too funny." He stopped and his brow creased. "How did you know that?"

Laurasia looked up at her cousin with a puzzled look upon her face. "Um...because I was sitting in here when he approached him about it. He walked over to the Hufflepuff table, spoke to Diggory, glowered at the rest of the Hufflepuffs & left. Diggory got up & followed him out. It hardly takes a rocket scientist to put it together." She laughed slightly while still eyeing him. "Are you feeling alright?"

Draco glared at his cousin. "I did not know that you held so much interest in Diggory to stare at the Hufflepuff table Laurasia." He could not help but feel a little irritated. Crabbe and Goyle were looking between the two of them dumbfounded. Then a thought came to Draco. He smiled sweetly at Laurasia. "Or was in in fact Professor Snape that you were ogling dear cousin?"

Laurasia smiled evilly at Draco. "And who do you think I was ogling dear cousin? Of course it was Professor Snape that held my attention. Mmm, if only I were older & not one of his students! Anyway, don't ask stupid questions & I won't embarrass you in front of your friends." She playfully stuck her tongue out at him, before continuing with her meal.

Draco was satisfied with her answer. He was right of course..it wasn't only Potions that she was interested in. "What, embarass me in front of these two??" he laughed. "Hardly." He decided to change the subject. "So, Laurasia..how is uncle Octavius? He really needs to come and visit us more you know. And your beautiful mother of course.."

Laurasia glanced at Crabbe & Goyle when Draco made his comment. "Yeah, I see what you mean. Anyway, mother & father are both doing well. I agree that we really do need to visit more often. It's just that Bulgaria is so far from here I suppose. Father is hoping to get some time off from work soon though, perhaps we can visit then."

Draco laughed as Laurasia eyed Crabbe and Goyle.
"Well, my father thinks that his brother should visit more often..after all he can afford it. Of course, my father would insist that you all stay with us at Malfoy Manor. But I suppose..if he has to work, he has to work." Draco chose a particularily large apple from the fruit basket in front of him.

Laurasia smiled at her cousin. "Yes, I know. It's not as though he's avoiding him or anything. I would so like to stay at the Manor again though." She spooned a pile of raspberries over her oatmeal, before pouring on some honey. She closed her eyes as she placed a spoonful of the sugary sweetness into her mouth.

Draco laughed. "Yes, I know. You always have been in love with Malfoy Manor, haven't you? Not that I blame you of course. I like it so much more than I like it here.", he sneered as he glanced around the Great Hall. "I am much more comfortable when I am at home...more at ease."
He glanced over at Crabbe and saw that he had four large pieces of bread, topped with everything that he could put on it. He continued glaring with disgust, until Crabbe looked up at him. "Must you??" Draco asked him. "What?"Crabbe replied."I am hungry..that's all."
Draco looked at his cousin."You would think that he can not afford to eat, wouldn't you?"
