Kitchen Level Corridor
 
The Kitchen and Hufflepuff Common Room are accessed via the staircase to the right of the main staircase in the Entrance Hall. You follow along a bright corridor adorned with paintings, the most notable of which is the still life of a bowl of fruit (with a particularly ticklish pear).

Molly was bored with sitting in the common room, so she jumped up and headed out to the corridor. She roamed a bit, up and down the entire length, making sure no other students were around before she pulled a small ball out of her pocked. Molly placed the ball on the ground, took out her wand and with a flick of her wrist commanded “Engorgio.” The small marble sized ball quickly grew to the size of a soccer ball.

Satisfied with the size of the ball and the emptiness around her, Molly began kicking the ball up and down the corridor. It bounced from foot to foot as she spun around and avoided imaginary targets.

Stepping from the portrait, Elan held out his hand to help Charlotte through. "Even though you've not been anywhere but the halls, perhaps you could begin the tour."

Charlotte took his hand and stepped out of the common room. "Alright then. Lets... Go this way." She headed off to the right, without a clue where she was going.

Answering Elan's previous question she said "Well... It was full of girls and I accidentally hit one when I walked inside. Then her friend started yelling at me for 'shoving' the door open and calling me a stupid hufflepuff who couldn't spell anything. And I just got so angry that I really did shove the door open and straight into her." Charlotte blushed a little. "I was really angry."

He listened to her story and his mouth dropped a little. "Why would they do that? Don't they understand accidents?" He couldn't imagine this young girl being mean to anyone. Her blush looked sweet. "I can imagine." Without thinking, he continued, "And that color is pretty on your face." Immediately, he too began to blush, not sure where that came from.

Charlotte nodded her head vigorously, "I know. It wasn't fair, I don't know why she was picking on me." Her face turned into a scowl at the memory. The girl had been so unfair and mean.

She looked up quickly, met his gaze then looked back down, her blush deepening. She mumbled something she thought was a thank you- but she was too embarrassed to put together a coherent sentence.

He listened to her. He nodded and glared at the imaginary Slytherin girl in his mind. "Wanna go do something to make her pay?" he grinned with a goofy smile.

He heard something like a mumble, but couldn't tell what she had said. He did, however notice a darkening of the color on her face. He smiled awkwardly at her with a funny feeling in his belly.

She reached into her pocket with her left hand and made sure the potion was still there. She wasn't sure how she was going to manage this, but at least she knew step one. She walked casually up to the professor. "So, I ....eh, had a question....about ancient runes and how it's used for Divination", she lied quickly. He needed to be distracted and what better way than to talk about the subject he loved.

Professor Kapoor smiled at the mention of the topic of Divination. "Go on, Miss Yaxley. Ask away.", he said encouragingly.

Great. "Eh, well I..it's private. Can we get out of the kitchens first", she asked hopefully. It wouldn't do to have witnesses. She gave him the most dazzling smile she could muster. Please let her plan work.

'Private?'. He turned to the young Hufflepuff girl who'd been in the kitchens with them. "If you'll excuse me a moment, m'dear?"

"Miss Yaxley, lead the way.", he said, preparing to follow her out of the kitchens.

Yes! "Thanks so much, Professor Kapoor. I was thinking classroom eleven would be appropriate", she said in a questioning tone of voice. "I think the seats would be helpful." Oh goodness. Was she really going to do this? It looked like it. She gave him one more smile and headed towards classroom eleven, on the ground floor.

Jessica shook her shoulders and nodded. Of course she couldn't contradict a Professor, although she was wondering what that Slytherin girl was up to.
"I'll be waiting here, Professor." she answered simply, still looking at the hungry kneazle.

"Thank you." He said, giving the kneazle a warm petting. "Would you mind looking after Nostradamus while I'm having a word with Miss Yaxley?", he said, offering her the kneazle.

"I wouldn't mind at all!" the girl answered with enthusiasm, taking the kneazle in her arms. "Could I also feed him?" she asked politely. "I have a few cat treats for my pet and I suppose Nostradamus would like them too."

"Oh, yes! That would be ideal!", he mused back. 'Good deal! Now Nostradamus wouldn't have to wait to be fed.', he thought. "I shouldn't be long."

"Ok, Professor. I'll handle it from here. Camira probably has something important to tell you and I don't want to let her wait." Jessica said, but she didn't really believe that Camira had a serious issue to discuss.

"I'll wait here, with Nostradamus." the girl added.

A short time later, Kapoor returned to the corridor. He waved to Jessica and saw that Nostradamus was still with her. Perhaps the kneazle had a preference for those in the house of Hufflepuff.
"How was he? Was he a well-behaved kneazle?"

relly1611 10-15-2008 03:19 PM

Back so soon? Jess smiled seeing the Professor return. Maybe Camira wasn't so bad intended after all. the girl thought.

"Yes, I didn't have any problems with him, he's a very obedient pet. And very cute, too!" Jessica replied.
Although she was curious about the discussion with the Slytherin girl she didn't say a word about it.
"Professor, I have a few questions regarding Divination, but I think I'll come by your office when you are less busy." the girl said, preparing to give the kneazle back to his owner.

The Professor held out his arms for the kneazle. "Alright, then, Miss I look forward to your visit." Sounded fair enough.

"Thank you and see you later, Professor." Jessica said with a smile. She greeted Nostradamus as well: "Bye, Nostradamus, be a good kneazle!"
The girl giggled and headed for the common room, as it was very close from where they were.

Cale didn't usually hang around the kitchen, but he was bored and figured he'd pay a visit to the kitchens. He hadn't seen Beezley once since last term and thought maybe she'd say hi...and if she just happened to have a treat for him or something well then, cool.

He still couldn't get over the fact that a house elf fancied him. It was odd, yes, but Beezley was actually a cute little thing, and she loved to help Cale out, like with that letter last term. It had never worked out but at least they had tried! Sighing and shaking his head, he continued along the deserted corridor. It was kind of creepy down here...thank goodness he didn't have to go this route to the Hufflepuff room all the time...

Anna Banana 10-18-2008 09:49 PM

Anna watched Cale as he left the ground floor and headed down towards the kitchen area. Hmm...what business did he have there, anyway? A few days ago, or even a few hours ago, she would have believed he was headed to meet Evolette in the dungeon corridors or something, but no, not now. Ever since Anna had that little meeting with Evolette McKenna earlier, she'd learned a lot of valuable little pieces of information. The most valuable being that Cale and Evolette's relationship was actually fake, and that Cale had set it all up to get Anna back for kissing Seth Paton in the courtyards.

The second valuable piece of information that Anna had learned had been told to her in a story, a true story about something that had happened to Evolette and Terry Saunders. It was this same story that had convinced Anna to owl her father in the wee hours of the night and ask him not to come help her pack and leave Hogwarts today after all.

Add all those valuable pieces of information together, and you have the main reason Anna was currently hurrying after Cale and trying to catch up with him. She needed to update him on everything that had happened yesterday, the most important update being that she was staying at Hogwarts after all. "CALE!" she called out, realizing that if he didn't stop soon she would probably never catch up with him. "Wait up!"

It was this same story that had convinced Anna to owl her father in the wee hours of the night and ask him not to come help her pack and leave Hogwarts today after all.

Add all those valuable pieces of information together and you have the one reason Anna was currently following Cale in an effort to catch up with him and update him on what had happened. "CALE!" she called out, realizing that if he didn't stop soon she would probably never catch up with him. "Wait up!"

Cale jumped as the empty, quiet corridor was suddenly filled with the sound of someone calling him, and not just someone...Anna. He whipped around and saw her actually running to catch up to him. That was a change from the usual...usually they ended up tripping over each other, or falling into one another and they were forced into an awkward conversation.

"Oh...Anna," he said, his voice quieter than usual. According to her plan, she was set to leave...tomorrow. And he hadn't thought about that until just now. And suddenly, his entire day was ruined, and the rest of his school career as well. If Anna wasn't there, he might seriously fall back into the homeschooling system. What was the point of going to class if there was no Anna there? "How are you?" he asked softly, looking through his bangs at his feet rather than at her.

When Anna saw Cale jump, she knew that he'd heard her. Thank Merlin! She didn't know how much longer she could run after him without ending up losing sight of him altogether. Where was he headed anyway? When Cale finally stopped walking and turned around, Anna slowed herself down from a fast run to a slower walk. "Thank you," she called out, still a little ways down the hallway and a little out of breath. "I didn't think I was going to be able to catch up with you."

When she finally reached him, the smile that she had been wearing faded to a concerned look. What had him looking so upset? She thought about that for a few seconds, and then it suddenly hit her---he still believed she was leaving in the morning for America. Duh, Anna. That's what you're here to talk to him about. "I'm alright," she said, thinking about how uspet she should be that the boy standing in front of her had tricked her into believed he was in a real relationship with Evolette McKenna. "Well, I've actually just spoken to Evolette. She and I had a pretty lengthy conversation...thirty minutes or so, I'd say. She brought me chocolate frogs, too," Anna explained, digging in her pocket and pulling out a few of the pieces of candy. "Want one? We can sit and eat them while we talk..."

Cale sighed and shook his head. "No thanks, I'm not too hungry," he told her. At that moment, his stomach growled loudly, giving him away. Ignoring that and blushing with embarrassment, he shuffled his feet. And then he heard Anna say she had talked with Evolette. Well, that was a surprising turn of events. He blinked and looked up at her before scowling.

"Oh, you did, did you? Did you have a nice chat? Trying to make nice with everyone before you leave for good?" he asked rather nastily, crossing his arms and turning to walk away again.
