Bert slid onto to the Hufflepuff bench and went to grab a piece of toast, Speckles was sitting on the table next to his plat happily croaking in time with some of the other toads.
"Beat me again then Speckles!" Bert said to his toad. He often wondered how the toad made it to the hall before him, there must be some sort of secret passage way that he went through.
After picking up a goblet of pumpkin juice, and taking it down in gulps, Bert took a look around the hall. There weren't many people there at the moment, but then again it was a early Saturday morning and the beginning of year.
Bert was an early bird though, he liked to be up. Well maybe not like, Speckles would often wake him up by jumping on his face. Which was the exact wake up call today. There weren' many people on the Hufflepuff table, just a few firs and second years.
Bert needed someone to keep him company, good things did not happen when he got bored!

Early morning was not Z’s favourite time of day. And why she was up so early she had no idea but he stomach was now growling and so breakfast seemed like a good idea. She moved down the stairs in her pyjamas and into the great hall. Zara was making her way to Ravenclaw table when she saw a familiar face at Hufflepuff.
Redirecting herself she moved towards the boy before wrapping her arms around his shoulders from behind. ”Morning Bert!” Zara said. She was in a decent mood at the moment. Zara gave him a kiss on the cheek before sitting down next to him. There was no wonder why people gossiped about them. She did nothing to make people not believe they were a couple.
As she took a seat she reach her hand out for Speckles. ”Hello Specks.”

Bert grinned at seeing Zara, "Z!" He half yelled.
Speckles jumped onto Z's hand and then her shoulder, croaking in her ear.
"How are you?" He was in a better mood now that someone had come to save him from his boredom. Bert was slightly bouncing up and down in his seat, he thought that he was going to be stuck bored. Now that Zara was here, he could do pretty much do anything. Though sometimes Z had the tendency to stop him....

If anything she could always count on Bert to be happy to see her. He always made her feel like she was loved. After all they had been inseparable since first year and she was, currently, not regretting asking him about his toad when they had hopped off the train.
"I'm not too bad. Trying to settle back into a routine." she said with a shrug."What about you?" Zara asked him return. Speckles was up on her shoulder now and she reached into the middle of the table for some toast. "I'm surprised it's so quiet." Zara said taking a look around. It was still quite early but surely there should be more people down by now. She glanced up at the teaching table. "Oh and we have some newbies this year. Nice."

Still grinning, and trying to control Speckles at the same time, Bert answered.
"I'm good!" He was always good, never anything less. Well there was the off occasion, but that would never be when he was in Hogwarts. Bert looked up at the table, he hadn't noticed the teachers.
"I tell you what Z! This year is going to be my year! The year for me to find my lady." He tried to sound smooth, but it didn't seem to be working. But it would be nice to actually find a girlfriend. He never thought of Z like that though, she was like a sister.

Zara who had taken a bit of toast as Bert was calming down his toad choked when she heard his words. Coughing and spluttering, eventually she swallowed before saying, "Bert! Really? I mean you've been fine on your own, haven't you?" Zara said. Truth be told, Bert was very... unique. She wasn't sure if anyone would be able to handle him.

Bert went wide eyes when Z started to choke, and calmed down when she stopped.
"You see Zara, I have. But.... sometimes fine isn't enough.... fine just isn't enough. And sometimes, a man just needs someone. A special someone to make him feel special. And I didn't think I was ready before, but now.... now I am. I know that, I thought about it over the Summer. I'm going to find someone Z, and you! You are going to be my Cupid!" Hopefully with Z'a help he would find someone. The right someone, the perfect someone. And it may take a while, but he was willing to wait and to look.

Zara took a sip from her goblet and began to choke again. Oh Merlin! Some of the people at the table looked at her and she coughed and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Um... ok Bert." Zara said slowly. "First of all, I'll be your cupid but no way am I dressing up. Secondly, you know you'll have to find someone who takes you and Speckles. And toads aren't a fantastic selling point." Zara told him with a small shrug. Then again, if Bertie did find someone it meant she could have a little bit of peace.

Bert scowled at her, he had the costume all ready and everything. He made it in the summer. Maybe he would just give it to her later, yeah. That would probably be the best bet for now.
"I'll tell you know, I'm very picky. I won't just settle for anyone. And I'm sure there are people out there who would gladly accept Speckles."
And if they didn't, they were going to be straight off the list. Speckles and Bert came as a package deal!

Zara knew Bert well. And the best thing to do right now was go along with it. She nodded and said, "I know you aren't pick Bert. She'll have to be one classy bird to date you." Also a little bit insane. "There's someone out there and this year you and I will find her." The likelihood was that in a few weeks he would soon forget his quest for love and be fixated on something else.

Bert grinned. "Let this quest begin. And I will make someone out there less lonely and very lucky. Speckles croaked. "Thank you for agreeing Speckles! So Shall we start?! He asked Z.
He wanted to start, maybe a type of speed dating thing would be a good idea. That way he wasn't stuck in a whole date with someone if he didn't like them. It would be interesting to say the least.

"How about we start tomorrow?" Zara suggested. After the trip to the hospital wing she had no desire to be prancing about. "I'll keep a sharp eye out. Any preferences to looks or house?" Zara asked him continuing with her toast. "Talking about finding someone. Matt and I have been getting a little closer." Zara thew in with a small smile.

Bert sighed. "Okay then... I guess." He was a little disappointed and wanted to start today, but he dealt with it.
"Hufflepuff, and she needs to like toads obviously. He narrow it down after that.
Bert's face dropped."Oh, have you?" He wasn't too sure that he liked this Matt kid.

Well that narrowed her search down a lot. She the nodded and said, "Yep. Owled over the summer and we've been talking a lot more. I think it might actually be heading somewhere." Z knew that Bert wasn't a massive fan of Matt. He was a Slytherin and not a very pleasant person but he was ok around Zara.

Bert shook his head at Z. "I think we need to have a talk Z, it's time.
He shuffled and made him self comfortable on the bench, before putting his hand together and looking at Z, his lips pursed.. "So soon.... so soon..." He murmured to himself.
