Status: Semi -Public join if you're having lunch
Summary: Gray runs into Caleb at lunch
Completion: Complete

Gray entered the canteen with wary eyes, lately she had been certain that there was no one to be trusted in the Ministry other than Robards and Tonks. The interviews she had taken part of and the interview at the Grangers had really shaken her leaving her looking for shadows lurking in every corner. As she walked through the line she barely noticed what she was putting on her tray until she caught herself putting a bowl of sprouts on the tray and she knew she had to keep out of the funk. Come on girl keep it together. Taking some of the baked chicken along wth carrots and a salad. Gray was pondering the pudding choices seriously as she waited for the line to get moving again. "Come on people it's lunch not world peace we're deciding here." She muttered under her breath.

	"What can I say? It there any point in rooting for a team that always wins? Say the tornadoes. Sometimes you just have to enjoy the colossal fail in a team." Gray told him brightly. "Besides sometimes the best part is seeing just how bad a team can be without being a total shame. The Magpies have had some very funny plays." (Reply to this) (Thread)

	He eyed her in disbelief. Enjoy colossal failure? Was she utterly mad? "I suppose," he said doubtfully. "But then with that philosophy, shouldn't you be rooting for the Chudley?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Gray gave a giggle before shaking her head. "Certainly not. The Canon's lack creativity. They use the same dumb plays knowing that all the teams know the counters for them." She explained. "The Magpies on the other hand are very off the cuff so their plays have a chance of working out or they would if their players had better follow through." Gray informed him with a shake of her head.

	"So as long as you're creative, it's okay if you lose?" He shook his head. Obviously this one was wide-eyed dreamer. However did she get into the MLE? "I think I'll stick with the Falcons and head breaking." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Better than being boring and winning all the time." Gray told him sagely. She had a true appreciation for creativity and knew it was good for getting out of a pinch. "The appeal of shear brute force is there too at least you learn what works and what won't on a broom." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Exactly. It takes real skill it knock a bloke silly and not get caught by the ref." Caleb nodded sagely. "Not that I know anything about that, of course. Slytherin only played a clean game." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gray grinned brightly pleased that she had managed to say something that didn't make him think she was the village idiot. "Yes, of course they did, I've watched some of their matches. Very creative." Was all she would say about it. Gray new for the most part they had played fair but they pushed the line when ever they could (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He eyed her. Did she not recognize a bald lie? He came up in Marcus Flint's team. They had entire practices dedicated to dirty plays and how to get away with them. "Yes, very creative." He glanced at his watch and swore before shoveling food quickly into his mouth. Swallowing thickly, he said, "sorry. Got ten minutes to get back to the office." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	At the mention of time Gray looked down at her own watch and gaped. She stood up abruptly and smiled. "Not all at, I need to get back too. I have people to investigate. Thanks for eating with me Warrington, it's been very interesting." Pushing back her chair she picked up her tray and walked over to the trash to throw away her leftovers.

	Caleb nodded a goodbye. He tracked her with his eyes, never pausing in his hurried eating. Savage was a strange one, that was for certain. (Reply to this) (Parent)
