~Draco POV~

"Now that everyone is here, shall we eat?" Professor Rory said as we all were walking towards our seats by the campfire.

"I'm starving," Erik said

"I'll take three of whatever we're having," Blaise said

"Me too," Ron said

"I really think you're going to like this," Professor said handing us a plate with what looked like to be Mashed potatoes and meat...at least I think, it was extremely burnt. How you can burn mashed potatoes to a crisp I will never know, though.

"You know what, I'm good...I-I'll just starve," Blaise said

"Ya, me too," Ron said

"No good?" professor said looking at the students who looked at their food with terror.

"More like not edible," Blaise said as Ginny hit him in the stomach "Did I say not edible. I meant not edible because it looks so good...I need to take a picture to commemorate this moment,"

"As what?" Professor asked

"The day I di- I mean the day I taste such wonderful cooking," Blaise said taking a scoop of the mashed potatoes and the smallest piece of meat he could find.

"I'm sorry Professor, but this does not look very good," I said looking at the food

"Oh thank the Lord," Blaise said putting his fork down. "I'm sorry...this looks worse than nonedible...it looks almost scar-

"Thank you, Blaise, I get it," Professor said with a sullen face

"I mean it almost looks as if it's telling me to run for my life with how bad this is going to tas-

"I-I really get it," Professor said looking more sullen than before

"It's just so-

"WE GET IT BLAISE!" Professor said as the students went silent "I'll just go cook something else. It's not like I worked super hard to cook this or anything. Let me just whip something else up," Professor said taking out his wand

"Why did you have to say that," Astrid said

"Say what?" Blaise asked looking completely innocent

"You kept going on and on about how terrible it looked," Harry said

"You said that too, though," Blaise said looking at me

"No...no I didn't. At least not like how you did. You broke his spirit." I said looking over at the professor who looked extremely depressed

"Maybe one of us should eat a bite...just to make him a bit happy?" Harry suggested

"I vote Blaise," Erik said

"Why me?" Blaise asked totally oblivious

"Are you serious, you're the reason why he is depressed in the first place," Ron said

"Ya but like Draco said, I broke his spirit. I just don't think I can come back from that." Blaise said agreeing with himself

"I still vote Blaise," Erik said

"If you say I vote for Blaise one more time," Blaise said

"Why not, your usually the one starting these things in the first place," Erik said

"Do not," Blaise said defensively.

"Are you actually serious or just know that you do but don't want to admit it?" Erik said

"Here is your new dinner...since my previous one was so grotesque looking," Professor said eying Blaise.

"Why is he just looking at me, Draco didn't want to eat it either," Blaise said

"Ya but no one...I mean no one made it seem like it was as grotesque as you did."

"I'm sorry I'm just too hungry to fight with you," Blaise said eating the Professor's new meal.

After we finished cleaning and Professor Rory had all the dishes ready for two lucky people to clean.

"Now we will sort this by the hat," Professor said writing everyone's names down and putting it into his hat.

"I vote Blaise do it," Erik said

"Honestly Erik," Blaise said scooting away from him

"We will do this fairly," Professor said. He quickly picked two names...

"Now the two who will be cleaning up is...Erik and Blaise," Professor said looking a bit sorry to Erik

"Payback!" Blaise said

"you know you have to help me," Erik said rolling his eyes

"So," Blaise said almost as if it would have been weirder if he didn't call my name.

"This sucks," Erik said as everyone started to leave almost wanting to help out of pity for Erik

"Why? Think of the bonding," Blaise said

"No," Erik said going by the dishes

"No?" Blaise asked a bit sad

"Let's just finish this,"

"So do you want to wash while I dry," Blaise said slowly as Erik rolled his eyes.
