Breakfast Alpha
Zylpha's first week at Hogwarts had passed without too much weirdness going on. She was just trying to settle in a new routine, trying to understand the floor plan of Hogwarts and trying to make some new friends. And, that worked out to a certain extend. Mostly, Zylpha still had been cowering in her books. That was her safe-space, and being in Ravenclaw allowed her to have that space for herself.Time: Early morning
Where: Great Hall
Setting: Usual breakfast commotion, some students are still very sleepy, some are just way too excited for this time of day...
WC: 284
However, as she strode through the Great Hall this very Monday morning, she had a feeling something or someone would shake up some things for her. On one hand, she longed for such a thing, on the other hand, she feared it to death. She looked around for a slightly excluded place in the Great Hall, and saw a spot at the very end of one the middle tables. Zylpha liked to have breakfast as early as possible. Getting up very early meant no queue at the bathroom, no delicious treats out of stock, and most importantly: not having the stress of having to rush. After a short walk she took her seat and calmly started her breakfast. Zylpha was still mesmerized by the sheer size of the Great Hall.
She saw all the treats on the table, and most of them reminded her of home. Her mother, Mae, was a formidable cook, and breakfast was her specialty. Bacon, scrambled eggs, bagels, cinnamon bread, spinach rolls, and delicious bread-tomato salads, those were Zylpha's favorites. She was happy to see most of them here as well. Zylpha started off her breakfast with a cinnamon roll and some hot tea, however, she would surely have a taste of everything before going to her first class.

Early morning,
Usual breakfast commotion
Today Cash decided to sleep in a bit late. Just because they usually do their morning run, does not mean they never took a break from their daily routine. Their body needs to rest. Those sore muscles that came after only Merlin knows how many miles Cash had run across the campus needed rest too. So after they had a good sleep in, they decided to wake up.
After taking a much-needed shower and wearing their school robes, Cash marched towards the Great Hall. When they stepped into the Great Hall, Cash thought the Hall already bustling with students but turns out only a glimpse of people that only seated at their respective house tabes. The green eyes marched towards their house table but as they want to take a plate of delicious breakfast, someone beat them to it.
"Rude!"They protest to the person who took the last piece of bacon that was served at the Slytherin table. Their stomach started to protest as it was still empty. Cash almost decided to skip breakfast and just go to their first class for that day but their stomach growled again. The Beater sighed as they looked around.
People around this hour are like animals. It was like those old saying, early bird get the worm or something like that. The one who fast enough, get the meal or the last portion of the meals. The Cuban descendant scanned their eyes from one table to another. It seems either their friends already got up to their class or they have not to wake up yet.
Then their eyes landed on a lonesome girl. Her red curly-haired makes her stand out amongst most of the student population. Usually, Cash likes to eat their breakfast alone but it seems that is impossible to do today. With a sigh, Cash got up from their position and walked toward the girl whose seat was at the very end of one of the middle tables.
"Good morning!"Cash greeted the girl in their native language which is Spanish. "Mind if I sit with you? Hope that is okay with you. If not, I can move to another table"They inquired the red curly-haired girl. "Some people did not have a sense of manners this morning"Cash said as they took a seat beside the girl.
Once Cash seated, they grabbed a plate and filled it with their favorites which are some slices of bacon, scrambled eggs, and bagels. They also filled their cup with some hot tea. "Speaking of manners, my name is Cash"They introduced themselves towards the other girl. Cash cut the bagels into halves and spread some jams into them. Cash then looked at the girl closely.
The girl seems a lot younger than them. Cash hated to disturb the other girl enjoying her meals but Cash needed to fill their stomach too to get through the day. Because you know, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. "And you are?"They prompted the other girl to introduce herself to the young socialite.

Zylpha was startled from her thoughts, as she suddenly heard a friendly voice in an unfamiliar language to her. "Good morning!" Zylpha looked to her side too see a person standing right next to her. Zylpha didn't know them, but she was sure they were from Slytherin, judging by their clothes. Zylpha was still trying to process the unfamiliar language with her foggy, morning-mind as the person continued to speak to her. "Mind if I sit with you? Hope that is okay with you. If not, I can move to another table. Some people did not have a sense of manners this morning" Zylpha smiled at them.

Zylpha herself was a morning person, although, this particular morning she was a bit slow. She wasn't sure whether the person standing next to her was a morning person or not, but they were definitely cheerful. Zylpha calmly nodded at them, to let them know it was perfectly fine to take a seat. Zylpha watched quietly as they grabbed a plate and filled it with food and grabbed a drink. "Speaking of manners, my name is Cash" The person, apparently named Cash, continued. Zylpha shyly smiled at Cash, who continued to prepare their breakfast. Cash seemed older than herself, this made Zylpha slightly nervous. She hadn't socialized much with older students. "And you are?" Cash asked Zylpha.
"Zylpha," she said quietly. Then, Zylpha started to feel like a shy-little dork. Normally, she is never this quiet. She scraped her throat. "Zylpha Scarborough," she said a little louder. "Nice to meet you, Cash. You really seem like a morning person." Zylpha chuckled calmly. "Which is more than I can say for most people here, look at all those gloomy faces..." Zylpha gazed around the Great Hall, as she felt her cheeks burn. Not out of embarrasment, or shame, or flirty-feelings, but out of the excitement and nervousness she felt speaking to someone new and someone older.

Early morning,
Usual breakfast commotion
After Cash greeted the younger student, she replied the same greeting towards the green eyes. They had introduced themselves to the red curly-haired girl and prompted her to give out her name. "Zylpha,"The other girl said quietly. Cash need to strain their ears to hear what the first-year had just told them.
"Come again?"They inquired the Ravenclaw. "Zylpha Scarborough,"She said a little louder this time after she cleared her throat. The Cuban descendant nodded their head and took a bit from their bacon and scrambled eggs that is on their plate. "Scarborough? Is there by any chance you are a Pureblood?"They questioned the girl after Cash chewed down their breakfast.
Her last name sounds like an old name that oozes with money and wealth but Cash did not want to assume in case their assumption was missed by a long shot. Some time ago their mother said Cash need to stick to their kind, meaning they need to have friends that come from Pureblood families.
The Ironwoods always have an image to uphold but ever since their father passed away, their mother concerned about blood statuses more than ever. Stick to our own kind. They never lead you astray Their mother said to Cash one afternoon. The green eyes hated that absurd rule but Cash does not have any other choice except to oblige their mother command.
And here they are, sharing a meal with a stranger. Well, kind of. Cash knew the girl by her name but that was just about it. They sighed while scooping another portion of their breakfast into their mouth. "Nice to meet you, Cash. You really seem like a morning person"Zylpha let out a small chuckle.
That small chuckled broke Cash out of their reverie. "Which is more than I can say for most people here, look at all those gloomy faces"Zlypha continued as she gazed around the Great Hall. The young Ironwoods copied what Zylpha did. They let out a small laugh when they saw some people still had pillow-face or their eyes still bleary.
"Well,"Cash paused for a brief second and took a sip out of their hot tea. "I am a Quidditch player after all and therefore I need to stay fit. I used to wake up early for some morning runs through out the campus but not today"They continued. It is felt so wrong boasting their status like that to a person that Cash barely knew but it is what it is.
Cash's green eyes scanned the room. The Hall slowly comes to life as students begin to fill the room. "For me, this is already late"They added. Cash did not know what time it is right now, all they know was the Hall brighter than a few moments ago. Usually, Cash was not the type of person that makes small talk but there is a first time for everything so they just chalked it up.
"So, how do you like Hogwarts so far?"They asked Zylpha as the Beater continue eating their breakfast.
