It's the next day before Harry unlocks his bedroom door and comes out for food. As angry and sullen as he was the night before, there is a complete change in behavior today. It's a Sunday which means he doesn't have class. His dad most likely stayed with Remus in the apartment across the hall since Harry had given a loud and clear message of leave me alone.
He rummages around for breakfast because he isn't in the mood to deal with groups of people down in the Great Hall. He decides on cereal, something sugary sweet that wouldn't normally be served, but that his dad keeps in the apartment because Harry is a teenage boy and loves sugary carbs. It's Cookie Crisp. The cereal he got addicted to when he was little and living in the states. There always seems to be a box in the apartment.
This makes him think about the things he said the day before and he feels a bit ashamed. He has never spoken to his dad and uncle that way before. He never spoke to Luna that way either. Cedric, unfortunately, had been on the opposite end of Harry's volatile temper lately. He wishes to apologize, but he finds he's still a bit angry when he thinks about the two of them below the water.
The note on the table is from Remus, and out of everyone who witnessed his tantrum the night before he seems like the safest bet to talk with. He sends an owl back with a note that says, "Could we talk alone?"
He hopes it won't upset his dad. He really doesn't want to hurt him anymore than he wishes to hurt Luna and Cedric, but Harry finds the thought of facing more than one of them at a time a bit...imposing.
Once the owl is sent, he makes his big bowl of cookie crisp and curls up on the couch. It's the way he spent many weekend mornings when he was a child, and after his explosion the day before he finds he feels a bit like a kid more than the man of seventeen he is supposed to be.

The cereal is comforting.
