"Talking"

Elizza looked around in the great hall. The name certainly did fit the place, it was great and huge and just completely stunning. She saw a couple of her brother's friends at the Gryffindor table and waved to them with a small smile on her face. Her brother was not there for breakfast yet so she didn't exactly know what to do. He had told her that he would show her around and so on and that she'd wait for him, but since he wasn't here she decided to look around by herself.

There were quite a lot of people that she had seen before, most of them with parents that are friends with her own but also her brother's friends, who are kind of a lot. She still hadn't seen Patch around though, but figured that he might as well be sleeping or something.

Elizza was just about to sit down around the Gryffindor table when she got one of those flashbacks, causing her to hold on to something, making sure that she doesn't fall to the floor. It was never pretty things in those flashbacks... Only horrrible things. She knew that a bunch of people knew what had happened to her but she was still not going to talk to anyone about it.

It took her a while to realize that Ethan was standing next to her with his hand on her shoulder, looking at her with a worried look on his face. "I'm okay..." she said to him and began walking away when noticing the looks she got from the people around. She sat down by the end of the table and looked down on the floor for a while without knowing what to do. Is it ever going to get better?

Patch rolled over and looked at the clock. 8:17 a.m. He blinked once before realizing that he's late. On his first day at Hogwarts, too. He scrambled around, throwing back the covers and bolting out of bed. He pulled on his robes and shoes hurriedly. As he got together his books, he noticed every bed in the boys dorm was empty, and made. He glanced at his own, and figured he could make it after breakfast.

He grabbed his books and dashed out the door without a look in the mirror. Patch's hair was incredibly messy, and he looked disheveled at the least. "Late, late, late..." he mumbled as he sprinted down corridor after corridor in search of the Great Hall. He couldn't quite remember where it was.

As he turned a corner, he saw the doors of the Great Hall and knew he was close. He ran faster, his robes billowing behind him. What he didn't see was the big fifth year boy walking the opposite way. Patch rammed right into him and his books went flying. He looked up at the huge person with fear in his eyes. The boy just shook his head and walked away.

Patch sighed with relief that the boy didn't do anything to hurt him. He bent down and gathered his books and ran into the Great Hall. No one really payed him any mind as he walked in, late. Patch was glad to see nothing really was going on. He hoped he hadn't missed the headmaster's speech.

He spotted Elizza sitting alone at the Gryffindor table and sat down across from her. "Hi! he chirped and set his big stack of books down on the table. He waited until his breathing went back to normal before getting a plate and scooping pile after pile of the good food onto it.

Elizza looked up and saw Patch sitting infront of her. "Hello there," she said and couldn't help but smirk at the look of him. His hair was all messy and it was pretty obvious that he had just woken up. It was pretty funny to see him like that and soon enough she was laughing really hard.

"You look great," she told him and chewed on her lip trying not to laugh anymore. She knew that it wasn't that nice of her to laugh at him and all, but she couldn't help it. Not that she looked that great herself these days, being way too skinny and still not eating much.

"This place is amazing! It's even better than Ethan said it was," Elizza said and smiled while looking around in the great hall. It was pretty much full and people were eating and laughing and all. The only thing that she was going to eat was an apple, since she didn't feel like having something else..Not that she ever did eat much anymore.

He barely looked up as Elizza laughed, he knew it was funny. It was hard for him to keep a straight face, but he was so darn hungry that he couldn't do anything but shove food in his face.

He picked up a chicken leg and started eating it furiously. His mother always used to say, "Patch could eat a whole horse if he wanted to, hooves and all." And it probably was true. Patch had been eating ten times what he usually would since he started growing. In fact, the last time Patch had ate was on the train to Hogwarts, where he had bought out almost half of the sweet trolley. He hadn't felt so good afterwards...

He looked up as he stuffed a bread roll in his mouth, and saw ELizza only eating an apple. "Why am't oo eeeeing, Ewwwi?" he said, his words muffled from the roll. He rolled his eyes and swallowed. "Why aren't you eating, Eli?"

Well, he knew why but he couldn't fathom how she could look at all of this food and not think about stuffing it in her mouth. He looked down nervously and back up at her.

"It's really good, you should try some," he said and motioned at the bread rolls, trying to get her to eat. He didn't like how skinny she had gotten.

Elizza shrugged casually and smiled a little. "I'm not hungry..." she said quietly and took another bite of her apple. Only the apple itself tasted delicious so she couldn't help but wonder how all the other things would taste if only an apple was like this.

She noticed the looks she got from Ethan that was sitting on the other end of the table when seeing her with only an apple to eat, but she couldn't care less. She had her reasons and that's pretty much all she needed. Somehow the hunger helped her forget about everything else that was going on inside of her mind. All the memories and such.

Elizza looked back at Patch and couldn't help but smile. Sure, she missed her parents already and all, but it was nice to have him and Ethan her, so she would atleast have someone she likes and cares about here at Hogwarts.

"Yeah owkay..." he mumbled, annoyed that he couldn't change her mind. He shoved the thought away and continued eating. The food was incredible. How the heck did they get it to taste so good?

"What's your first class?" he asked and looked up at Elizza. He saw her glance at Ethan and also looked at him. Ethan smiled and Patch waved back. He looked back at Elizza and set down his fork. He scooted his plate away, having ate his fill. For some reason, Patch couldn't eat any more food in front of her.

She took out the schedule that she had in her bag and checked it. "Defense against the dark arts," she said and couldn't help but get excited. She had been dreaming of the day when she would be able to defend herself and the ones she loved against people like... Elizza gulped and looked away for a moment or two.

"What about you?" she asked him and had to try her hardest not to cry. She just wanted it all to go away. She wanted her uncle to be back and for it all to never have happened. She hated the nightmares that haunted her every single night without being able to do anything to get rid of em. Awake or asleep it was still haunting her and she hated it, but wasn't going to get all emotional about it with people around.

Patch nodded and pulled out his schedule from inside his Charms book. He read it for a moment, then said, "Same. Defense against the dark arts...." Patch put away his schedule and looked up. "That'll be fun! I love it here!" he chirped happily and looked around the Great Hall. He didn't recognise anyone besides Ethan and a few of his friend. Patch looked down, wishing he was more like the other kids here. That he was raised by wizards, that he didn't have an evil father, that he had siblings above him that could show him around and help him through his years at Hogwarts... he knew they wouldn't be easy. 

He sighed and ran a hand through his hair, only just feeling how bad it is. He hadn't brushed his teeth either. Gross. He looked around and saw people getting up ad leaving, probably going back to their rooms before the first bell. Patch leaned over, "I gotta go back to my room... Wanna come?" It was probably against the rules, but he didn't really care.

Elizza smiled. "So I guess that means I won't get rid of you that easy," she said and took another bite of her apple before putting it down on her plate. She didn't want to eat more of it and 3 or 4 bites was enough.

She flipped her hair behind her shoulder and stood up when seeing Ethan walk by. She grabbed his arm and looked up at him."Don't tell mom about any of this...Please," she told him, well begged him actually. She didn't want her parents to worry more about her than they already did and if Ethan told her about her eating habbits then things would probably just get worse.

"I won't... But only if you promise me that you'll start eating properly again," he said to her and hugged her tightly. She hugged him back and could feel tears on the verge of falling, but was determined not to cry. Elizza pulled back and put on a small smile before nodding. "Fine..." she said quietly. She didn't exactly care about how it affected herself, just aslong as her parents were okay without having to worry about her.

She saw Ethan walk away with her friends and turned back to Patch. "Sure... Lets get moving then," she said with a smile and took hold of her bag.

(OCC: Just in case you didn't know:

There is a feast when you arrive at Hogwarts the first night, either you didn't know that or Patch was too sick to eat anything

Girls can go in the boy's dormitories, but not the other way around. If the guys try, the stair become a slide and they fall down.

The House Elves take care in cleaning the dorms, so you don't have to make your bed.

Their schedule every day is different. They get 5 schedules, one for every day. Gryffindors usually have double Potions with the Slytherins if you ever mention Potions.

Sorry, I didn't wanna intrude, I love reading this I just wanted to inform you guys of a couple things. Sorry if it was out of hand or sounding mean. I don't mean to sound mean I just wnated to help )

Patch watched Elizza and Ethan talking, and looked down. He could hear them, and knew how Ethan was feeling. He was just as worried about Elizza as he was. She really needs to eat, or she'll get even sicker than she already is. 

Elizza turned to him, "Let's get moving then..." Patch sighed and nodded. 

"Yep... He adjusted his big stack of books in his arms and they started walking towards the Gryffindor tower. 

He got to the picture of the strange woman, he couldn't remember her name. The head Gryffindor had told them the password the night before, and Patch muttered it. They walked into the common room and climbed up the stairs to the boys dorms. He went over to the sink and started brushing his teeth. He looked up in the mirror and saw Elizza's face.

"You okay? he asked, knowing when she's holding back tears.

Elizza sat down on his bed before burying her face into her palms. Her head ached and it was almost like if she was back at her uncle's place. She could hear his high pitched scream inside of her head very clearly and his last words to her was something she would never forget. Stay strong sweetheart...For me.

She looked up when Patch talked to her and shrugged before feeling a tear roll down her face. She didn't bother wiping it away, so she just sat there, paralyzed, without knowing what to do. She wanted her old life back, her uncle back, things to be like they were before without her having to starve herself just to forget about the pain that she was going through. The pain of a lost uncle, nightmares, the torturing.

More tears began rolling down her face but it was like she wasn't there. She didn't care anymore, a weak person or not. She just wanted to be an ordinary 11 year old who's happy. Not an 11 year old who had to witness her uncle get tortured and murdered and then get tortured herself.
