Order of Precedence

[alt_sally_anne]

Last night at dinner there was a new seating chart. In addition to arranging us by House we were arranged in 'order of precedence,' so Harry was at the 'top' (closest to the head table) and I was at the bottom (which is not surprising) along with Norma Stein and Coinneach Donovan. Milli was also down near us. The surprising thing to me was that Blaise was down near us. Someone might want to speak to the House Elves about the food they're sending up for the top and bottom of the tables, because surely the intent was not to punish Blaise for having been Sorted into a House with very few half-bloods?

The elves have apparently been forbidden to provide us with food outside of the Great Hall at mealtimes which meant last night I didn't get my bedtime mug of warm milk and biscuit. That made me sad. I wonder if it made the elves sad, too? I think they like taking care of us.
