Food War?
Made by amazing Cirrus Mooney
Special note to other mods/prefects: This Thread will end in detention. Zephyr is going to manage the ic detention of this group. It was an agreement to prank Zephyr. To the participants, as agreed with Maddy, those who joined the “actual” food war, will all be put in detention. I suggest you all read through the Detention System here for your reference.

That day had been normal enough. He woke up early, did his usual run, survived classes, and now he was finally eating in peace, or at least trying to. His plate had far too much food on it because, according to him, thinking burns energy too, which was not scientifically proven at all by the way. He was halfway through getting mashed potatoes onto his plate when he noticed Maddy somewhere he was not used to seeing her seated. She was being weird and he didn’t know why. The girl was close to Lily who was at the Hufflepuff table so seeing them far from each other seemed a little bit odd to him, unless the two were not in speaking term.
He should have seen that as a sign that something was about to happen. The problem was that, despite recognising the warning signs, he was still terrible at knowing what the actual plan was before it actually happened. His brain always noticed danger exactly three seconds too late. Everything happened so fast that his brain stopped processing for a second. One moment, Lily was just there, the next, all the contents of her plate flew. Mashed potatoes and roast beef launched into the air, straight toward the Hufflepuff table…. To him specifically.
“MERLIN…!”
Zephyr jerked backward so quickly he almost fell off the chair. He watched in complete disbelief as a horrifying amount of mashed potatoes fell onto him, and here he was hoping he could get away from that disaster like a divine intervention. Silence hit him as his eyes slowly moved toward Lily with a suspiciously innocent face. The scene that followed was beyond what he had imagined that day. Some students completely lost control, and somehow, he was right in the middle of it. And what about him? He looked mortified… and betrayed.
He slowly stand up with mashed potatoes on one shoulder, gravy splattered across part of his sleeve, and what looked suspiciously like a pea stuck to his prefect badge. His jaw dropped as more food flew past him and when he looked around, he caught Maddy with that smug look on her face. Max and the others were at it too. It's unbelievable.
“MADDY….”
That was the only warning she got. The moment she approached him looking way too pleased with herself, he narrowed his eyes at her. “A food crisis? A FOOD CRISIS?” He was known to be a calm guy but he was anything but at that moment. He gestured around the Great Hall. “This is a full scale war zone!” Right as he said it, someone behind him got hit directly in the face with pudding. “This is NOT an accident.” He growled at her, irritation and betrayal seeping through his composure.

Food War?
Maddy took one look at the great hall. She didn't look at the mess or how bad the hall looked or how bad and covered with food the people looked. She saw the brightness in their faces. She saw how loosened up they felt. She saw even the people who don't really smile, smiled today, even if they showed annoyance their eyes sparkled with light. She saw Ryder smirk. He never really felt happy here. Seeing people like this just made her day.
This showed her how her purpose had been achieved. Hogwarts was asking for this. Maddy had seen how everyone was getting tired, from who knows what. Familial pressure? Homework? Or just life? Seeing them loosen up made everything worth it.
She saw Lily walk towards Ryder, both of them smiling. Kids playing and laughing with each other. She saw a Gryffindor girl approach her, who looked very familiar but she couldn't point out from where. She asked Maddy something but before she could reply she heard Zephyr get ....mad?
Maddy stood there as Zephyr said that this was not a food crisis rather a war zone. She had always thought of Zephyr as a calm and friendly guy. Since the day she met him in the hallway so this was not the reaction she had expected.
She looked at him kind of shocked and surprised at first. But she couldn't let him see the crack in her composure so she pulled herself back and calmly replied, "Well.....Zephyr..."
She deliberately used his real name instead of the one she usually calls him by, "I did not meant to cause any harm."
“First of all,” she raised her voice slightly, gesturing around the Great Hall, “can we appreciate the fact that this escalated beautifully?”
A laugh slipped out of her as she ducked instinctively, something unidentified splattering somewhere behind her.
Her gaze flicked to Lily across the room, and she shot her a quick grin and a thumbs-up.
“Execution? Flawless.”
She smiled a bit sarcastically at him, "I just saw you around Hogwarts looking way too lit out. That was not the Zephyr I meant. Seeing as I did not like a friend to loose their spark, I did what I had to. Sorry if it hurt you in any way Mr. Deakin"
She looked around the hall once more, "Look around you.......see how loose everyone feels? Doesn't Hogwarts feels alive to you?"
Looking once more at Zephyr she said, “you can’t tell me Hogwarts didn’t need this. Look at them. Just didn't thought you would actually be......" she exhaled lightly, "....this mad at me for it.”
.........and then she shifted right back into herself, energy sparking again.
“Anyway!” she said cherfully, ducking as something nearly hit her, “since we are apparently in a ‘full-scale war zone’.........”
She grabbed a roll from a nearby plate and tossed it lightly into the air, catching it.
“I suggest you either start enforcing rules, Prefect…”
She smirked at him.

Ryder saw Lily approach towards him, his smirk brightened even more.
"I am calm.....you are just paying alot of attention."
He looked at her covered in what seemed like a mixture of different food. Yeah, looks like she wasn't really good at dodging.
To prove his point something came flying towards Lily's back. Ryder efficiently held her arms and changed their locations so whatever it was hit his back. He rolled his eyes picked something off of one of the tables and threw it back at the person who aimed at Lily.
He looked back at Lily saying , "“…try not to get hit,” he added, voice lower this time, “I’d hate to lose my favorite distraction this early.”
Yeah.
He meant that. Even if he didn't knew it yet.
He 'tsked' at what he did, "You are such a bad influence." He stepped a little closer so only she could hear what he said, "and for some reason....I don't seem to mind."
Just as quickly as he came close, he took a step back.
"Dont get used to this though, I am still blaming you if I get in trouble."
He smirked at her and made eye contact for a whole minute before turning away to see what the others were up to
Say whatever you want about me. Just don’t touch what’s mine.

"I am calm.....you are just paying alot of attention.", Ryder said. "I always do.", Lily thought but maybe it wasn't the correct time to say that. She said it anyway.
Instead of replying, he just held her arms and exchanged their locations. Lily gasped in surprise. "What was that for?" she thought.
And then, splatter. Something fell on Ryder's back. He rolled his eyes and threw something back. Lily gaped in surprise; it was honestly not something she thought Ryder would do. He looked back at her and said, "Try not to get hit. I’d hate to lose my favorite distraction this early." Lily's ears turned red. "Favourite distraction? Me? No way...", she thought.
Then he stepped closer to her. Lily's heartbeat rose, not just a tiny bit, but a lot. Did she look like that? No, she was looking composed. Inside, she was screaming.
"You are such a bad influence," he began, "and for some reason....I don't seem to mind." Lily's brain went blank, her body stopped responding to her, and her heart was racing like it would come first in a marathon. She wasn't sure she would ever get used to this.
Stepping back, he said, "Dont get used to this though, I am still blaming you if I get in trouble." He smirked and locked eyes with her for a moment. That moment felt too long for her, and the whole chaos around her quietened a bit.
And then he looked away. Lily let out a tiny breath of relief, it was getting too much for her heart to handle....

He ducked to avoid a fistful of mashed potatoes that had come from somewhere, but ended up sprayed with it anyway. He stopped for a moment with his hand, who was full of more scrambled eggs, halfway raised. He had spotted the Hufflepuff table once more. It seemed like that was where the whole thing had started.
It was a good thing too, because the castle had seemed a little too glum to his tastes lately. Zeph, who was the assumed first victim, now looked mad. A cheeky smile appeared on his face as he turned to Flame.
«Hey, I’m crossing over to the badgers, wanna come with?» He grabbed his loaded plate and slipped from the bench. «Just stay low, and nobody will get at us!» He declared with utter confidence.
Making his way across in the chaos was not easy. Handful after handful was thrown, and he ducked under several flying pieces of food too. He arrived just in time to catch Maddies last line. He frowned with glee as he closed in.
«Are we enforcing rules? You know that’s too bad…» He stated innocently as he scooped up another portion of eggs. «I guess it would be a shame if I just-» He cut himself off as he flung the handful at both of them. Not really caring wether it hit or not, he combusted with laughter. Doubling over, he let go of the plate to hold his stomach while laughter roared.

Flame laughed as food flew every which way. Something exciting had finally happened and Flame was glad to be a part of it! She threw some pancakes at the Slytherins and turned to Max. At the same moment he turned to her with a smile on his face. He told her they were heading towards the Hufflepuff tables. She responded with a grin as they started to make their way towards the other side of the room. Flame threw handful aftet handful of food and they eventually made it to the other side.
Max started joking with two other students Flame didn’t know that well. Flame watched his back keeping the food away from him as he talked. When he started laughing Flame grinned at him. This food fight was definitely the best thing that had happened this week. Heck, probably the best thing this month! Flame looked up just as a clump of mashed potatoes flew at Max’s head.
“Max look out!” she called, grabbing a plate off a nearby table and flinging it through the air to intercept the food. She turned at him and grinned. “Team Snack…” she started waiting for him to finish the sentence.
Someone told me I run like a girl. I said that if they ran faster they could to.

Hana walked into the Great Hall, thinking about breakfast. Mmm. Bacon? Toast? Fruits? Pie? I want to eat all of them, what should I do? This is her normal routine, thinking about breakfast since she woke up and then walked to the Gryffindor table immediately, sitting down and shoving food into her mouth. But this time, something's different. At one of the table, people were throwing food , smearing sauces on each other. Ugh, how childish and chaotic She thought like tha tyet her body betrayed her, leading her to the table. And there, she saw one familiar figure - Madeline.
Ah. That first year, I wonder if she successfully went to her class last timeHana walked up to her, and smirked, "Well, well, well, look who we have here. How's the year for you? Do you miss me? Did you go to your class on time last time? And what's this, a food war. You're such a rebel even when it's your first year here, but I like it." She immediately sat down across Madeline. "So... who are we targeting, you friends, classmates, or the professors?" Hana, already eyeing a piece of the perfect pancake, ready to throw it at someone.

He even noticed Max actively encouraging destruction while the girl with him was doing the same with alarming commitment. At this point, if he’s not going to do something about this, he would be in big trouble too. For a moment, he looked ready to continue arguing. He was covered in mashed potatoes to qualify as part of the meal itself, while breathing heavily from disbelief and adrenaline. Food still flew overhead. Students still laughed and shouted across tables.
Maddy spoke again and annoyingly enough, he listened. He wanted to stay irritated, he had every reason to be. She orchestrated this entire disaster and used him as bait. As a newly appointed prefect, he was probably going to die from embarrassment once the adrenaline wore off. But the more she talked, the more his attention drifted away from the mess itself and toward the people around them. If it’s under different circumstances, he would have joined the food war but things changed. The proof was glaring at him in the form of his prefect badge.
Enforce rule huh? You bet. Besides, this incident crossed a line even Zephyr could not ignore anymore. What started as flying toast and mashed potatoes to prank him evolved into a complete disaster. Max approached and reacted about the rules and before he can say anything, something was thrown in his direction, hitting him on his shoulder. “Really, Max?!” He growled at his friend too. His expression changed completely, and climbed up onto the Hufflepuff bench, his shoes hitting the wood was loud enough to grab attention, at least for the students nearby.
“ENOUGH!!!”
His voice echoed through the Great Hall. He looked absolutely wrecked, his hair looked disastrous, but somehow he still looked authoritative, despite his age. His chest rose and fell as he pointed across the Hall. “No one throws another thing. NO ONE!” Eyes swept across every table with disbelief. “What is WRONG with all of you?!” He sighed in frustration, he knew his friends only wanted to have some fun but this… was pushing it. “Nobody leaves this Hall. Especially you.” He pointed at Maddy, then Lily and Ryder. “And you.” And toward Max and Flame. “Every single person involved in this food fight is getting detention.” If that will cause an uproar, they could try, as if he’s going to listen anyway. “And if anyone tries to sneak out, I’ll personally make sure your detention lasts longer.”

I peeked at the Hufflepuff prefect. His name was...Zheper I believe. He was MAD. Especially at the girl named Maddy. I m 88% sure she organized this. I wasn't going to throw her under the bus tho. Eh she seemed nice despite...Yeah. I picked up a napkin and walked over. This kid NEEDED one desperately. Then, he yelled. And he said something about detention. I felt tears prickle in my eyes. The perfect girl couldn't get detention. No. Way. This wasn't happening. "No this is NOT for trying to get out of detention. Do you need a napkin?" I said, handing the napkin to him. Trying to get out of detention would surely result in MORE detention. Like Zephyr said, anyone who tried to leave would get longer detention. Plus, I didn't want to do detention with my friends crush! Don't ask how I know, I can tell. I spotted Cassie in the crowd with Zepyer. You could tell. You.Could.Tell. I mean I could get tea for her. But then again she doesn't know I know. I patted the napkin in his hand. "Take this..." I said, trying to sound sympathetic but not like someone taking care of a two year old. I nodded my head and stayed at my spot. Hoping I would somehow slip my way out of detention
