How many times in the Harry Potter books did 13 people dine together?
In chapter 11 of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Dumbledore invites Trelawney to join his Christmas dinner in The Great Hall.
She declined, saying,
"I dare not, Headmaster! If I join the table, we shall be thirteen! Nothing could be more unlucky! Never forget that when thirteen dine together, the first to rise will be the first to die!"
She thought there were 12 people at the table, but if you count Scabbers the rat (secretly Peter Pettigrew in disguise), then there were already 13 dining together. Dumbledore was the first to rise and he was the first to die when Snape killed him at the top of the Observation Tower.
In chapter 5 of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, 13 people dined together at 12 Grimauld Place. Sirius Black was the first person to rise from the table.
Sirius started to rise from his chair.
"Molly, you're not the only person at this table who cares about Harry," said Lupin sharply.
"Sirius, sit down." Mrs. Weasley's lower lip was trembling.
Sirius sank slowly back into his chair, his face white.
Sirius was killed by his cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange, later in the same book.
How many other occurrences were there in the Harry Potter stories of 13 people dining together? And was the first to rise always the first to die among them?

Did Scabbers "dine" while at the table for Christmas dinner? Maybe the curse only applies if all 13 eat at the table.

Thirteen people were together at the Burrow after the Battle of the Seven Potters over Little Whinging.
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Bill, Fleur, Fred, George, Ron, Ginny, Harry, Hermione, Lupin, Tonks and Hagrid
Lupin left first, offering to go look for Moody’s dead body. Later in the Battle of Hogwarts, Lupin was killed by Antonin Dolohov. I don't know if he was killed before or after Tonks in that battle, so not sure if this one counts. Nor do I know if he was killed before or after Fred Weasley.
