The Great Hall is loud, but then it always is at lunch with all the various conversations going on between the students. Not just at their tables but at all of the House tables. That's what you get when it's finally break time between classes. Jon's bag itself is missing, already in his room because he has a light afternoon, as he slides into the seat next to Lily. There's already a please, I need your help, look to his gray eyes as he loads up some food onto his plate.
Though, he's kind enough to let her finish what she's saying to another student and actually turn her attention to him before he speaks. Because he can be nice. Sometimes. When he might be looking to ask for a favor from her. Normally dealing with her perchance for being really good with their studies and all. "Hey Lils, how's your day going so far?"
Look, even some nice talk before he asks anything of her.
Everyone wanted to be clever enough to be given the honor of Head Girl until, of course, you had to cross paths with people who had no choice but to realize you were completely able to help them with their homework. Not that she minded. Lily's compassionate streak ran for miles, and when anyone, regardless of House approached her, she would do what she could for them.
So when Jon sat beside her in the Great Hall Lily looked up at him from her soup with a smile. "Alright Jon," she tilted her head from side to side as if weighing an answer.
"Double Runes this afternoon, so as well as anyone can be with that on the horizon." Lily adored Runes, but her need to take concise notes could be exhausting in a class that long. "How about you? Going to the Quidditch match tomorrow?"
He reached to grab one of the premade sandwiches on a tray and then used the tongs to grab some chips for himself as he waited for her to answer. To be fair, it also spoke of her talents in studies that people were always coming to you. There wasn't anyone that really rivaled her marks.
Though he'd be curious if he was one of the few that tried to actually talk to her and see how she was doing before he asked her for help. There's a small whistle at the answer though, and he gives her a sympathetic smile. "Just a quick Herbology this afternoon and study period for the rest of the time." He'd tried to stack some of his classes together like that, giving himself some open periods. "And aye, I'm excited to see the match. You?"
