He smiled as he heard her say the words back to him. Their faces were inches apart, and he really wanted to kiss her lips again. However, he suddenly remembered that they were in the Great Hall, and at any moment Snape could come through the doors. It was widely known around Hogwarts that Snape abhorred anything having to do with students showing affection.
"Well, now that that's settled, shall we eat? There are always so many good things to choose from. It is a wonder that I am not fat already..even before your gift." Cedric looked at her mischeviously.

Laurasia was getting herself ready for another kiss when cedric suddenly stopped. Seeing him look around the Hall she realized why he had stopped. "Oh yeah, Snape," she said with a giggle.
When Cedric mentioned eating, she suddenly realize that she was very hungry. She hadn't eaten all day between her studying & getting Cedric's gift. She glanced over the various dishes strewn across the table. Chicken, pasta, roasts, potatoes, vegetables, fruits, etc. Laurasia served herself some fettucini alfredo & some candied carrots. "Well, what are you going to have Cedric?"
Just then she spotted Professor Snape enter the Hall & started giggling. "Your Divination skills must be getting better...Look who just came in!"

~Professor Snape~
Severus entered the Great Hall & began to scan the room as he headed for the Staff Table. He noticed a couple of Gryffindor boys tossing chicken wings at each other from across the table. Frowning, he made the wings stop in mid-air. "5 points each from Gryffindor. Eat your food, do not play with it!" The boys were looking at him with surprise as he walked away. Suddenly Severus waved his wand & the chicken wings finished their coarse & hit each of the boys in the face.
Setting down at the Staff Table he poured himself a bowl of soup & some coffee. Just then he noticed that one of his Slytherin students, Laurasia Malfoy, was sitting with Cedric Diggory at the Hufflepuff table. He narrowed his eyes slightly & then realized that she was probably helping the boy with his Potions work.

Cedric laughed as he saw Laurasia point out Professor Snape. Judging by the mood he was in, he was sure that they would have been scolded for kissing. He looked over the food on the table.
"Hmm..I think that I will have some fettucini also. And.." his eyes continued to scan. "Some vegetables..and of course, these cookies."
He felt Snape's eyes on them briefly.

Laurasia couldn't help but laugh once more as she saw Snape look at them through the corner of her eye. "I'll tell him that I'm tutoring you if he asks, that should keep us out of trouble."
Having not seen the cookies before Cedric pointed them out, she grabbed a handful once he had done so. She opened up a napkin & placed them inside, then grabbed another handful & did the same. She became suddenly aware of Cedric looking at her curiously. She blushed & a wide smile came over her face.
"Boy I must look like a real pig, eh? These aren't for me though. I'm taking them to Crabbe & Goyle. They just love cookies."

Cedric watched in astonishment as Laurasia picked up one..then two..then a vast number of cookies, and slide them into a handkerchief. He was not trying to watch..he knew that it was rude to stare, but he couldn't help it. He was just about to inquire out of curiosity, when she told him why she was taking so many.
He laughed. "Oh, yeah. I understand completely now. I was worried there for a second." He accioed the pot of hot chocolate that was in the middle of the table. As he poured himself a goblet, he glanced to Laurasia.
"Honey, do you want a goblet of hot chocolate?"

Laurasia laughed at Cedric's immediate understanding. "Yeah I guess it's no secret that those two can eat." She was just twirling some fettucini onto her fork when Cedric offered her some hot chocolate. Yet the only thing that she actually heard was the word "honey". She smiled widely & hugged him before simply saying "Yes, please."

Cedric felt his smile widen as Laurasia leaned over and hugged him, before saying that she wanted some. He poured her a goblet while staring at her the entire time. He looked down in time to prevent a spill. That would have been most embarassing.
"Here you go." he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. Remembering that Snape was in here, he looked up slightly alarmed. To his relief, Snape was looking downward.

Laurasia giggled when she noticed Cedric look up towards Snape. She had forgotten that Snape was in there as well. "We had better eat quickly, before we get ourselves in trouble."

Cedric laughed.
"I agree."
He turned all of his attention towards his food, eating as quickly as possible without looking like a pig. Once he was done, he waited for Laurasia to finish. Not wanting to watch her eat, he began to glance around the hall. There were not as many people staring at them now. He saw Neville Longbottom trip over his robes, and land face down on the floor. Laughter immediately erupted throughout the hall.
"Excuse me Laurasia." Cedric rose and went to where Neville was just getting to his feet. He helped him adjust his robes. "Are you okay?" Neville shook his head yes, but was too embarrassed to say anything. Cedric returned to the table.
"You know, rather than laughing at him all the time, perhaps people could help him out. I guess that is too much work for most! It is much easier to laugh at him while he's down! I suppose they think that it is a cool thing to make a fellow student feel that bad!" Now realizing that he was ranting..particularily in front of Laurasia, he quickly calmed down.
"I am sorry Laurasia."

Laurasia watched as cedric went over & helped Neville. When he came back over ranting about the other students laughing at his misfortune, Laurasia quickly covered her mouth. She had been laughing at Neville, though not enough that he would have noticed. It wasn't as though she were pointing or anything, just snickering. She looked at Cedric with a face that said "please don;t be mad at me", even though she couldn't get the giggle out of her eyes. "Sorry Cedric. Sue me I'm a Slytherin okay."
She took a drink from her hot chocolate & noticed that Professor Snape had also smirked when Neville fell. Perhaps it was a Slytherin thing afterall.

Cedric had noticed that Laurasia had been giggling after Neville fell. He leaned in close to her.
"Laurasia, I had to contain the laughter also. That isn't the point. I was the only one who tried to help him up..even though I was laughing inside." He smiled. "So, no I am not mad at you. Hufflepuffs think that it was funny too. Incase you had not noticed, this table was just as loud as the Slytherin table."
He shot a glare at Ernie and Justin, who had been two of the loudest in the entire Hall. They also had been pointing at Neville lying on the floor. Cedric sighed and continued eating.

Laurasia listened as Cedric explained that he found the situation funny as well & then turned to look at Ernie & Justin as they were reprimanded. When Cedric turned his back, she immediately noticed that the two boys stuck their tongues out towards him. "That's the difference between Hufflepuffs & Slytherins...The Slytherins probably would have thrown something at him directly," she thought with a smirk.

After Cedric had finished eating, he wiped his mouth with a napkin. He was slightly embarrassed when he realized that he ate too much. The last thing he wanted to do was eat like a pig in front of Laurasia. Hoping that she wouldn't notice, he leaned back in the chair..trying to give his stomach room to breathe.

After finishing the last of her candied carrots Laurasia wiped her mouth with a napkin. Sighing slightly, she eyed the various desserts upon the table. She smiled when she spotted the pumpkin pasties. Turning back towards Cedric one of her eyebrows raised slightly. "Um, would you like a pumpkin pasty for dessert Cedric?"
