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 dimly lit corridor adorned with paintings, the most notable of which is the still life of a bowl of fruit...
What's Hogwarts motto again? Never tickle a green pear?

Dylan led Kace and Lux out of the common room and into the corridor. He then turned to them once the door was shut and he leaned against the wall. "So," He let out a small sigh. "Y'know erm...Bleu? In our house?" he asked, his voice a bit quiet. It felt weird, talking about girls like this. He'd never really liked any before so everything was all new and weird and he didn't understand. But he was sure Kace and Lux would, since they were both in relationships themselves and all...

As Kace followed Dylan outside the kitchens and far away from the common room he was getting suspicious. He stopped when Dylan did right outside the panting. Alright now he REALLY wanted to know. He waited for Dylan to speak and once he did he was shocked. Aaahh so this was about Bleu? He smirked to himself and replied, "Yeah I met her at the feast and she seems like a nice girl. Why what is going on between you two?" he asked raising an eyebrow in suspicion.

"Well," Dylan said, looking down at the ground at his shoes. "I think I kinda like her. And it's just...weird. When I was talking to her I kept getting all nervous and everything I was feeling I'd never felt before..." he said with a sigh, glancing up at his friend. He'd never really liked a girl before. "I dunno I just need advice I guess about how to be around her instead of blushing all the time and... I also just wanted to tell somebody." He added with a small shrug, taking a glance at Lux too.

Stepping out into the corridor with Dylan and Kace, Lux was not surprised when Bleu was brought up. Yep, she was definitely right in guessing there was something going on between the two. "You definitely like her if you feel that way when she's around." It was adorable.
Did she have any advice? Hmm... "Just try to relax around her and know that she likes you too." Hehehe. Was it wrong for her to have stated that? Because from what she saw at the feast, there had been something in the way Bleu looked at Dylan.
Kace grinned and knew it! He knew he liked her. I mean his body language was obvious to a person who observes a lot. Anyways he asked for his advice? Ermm....let's see if he could find some in his brain of knowledge. "Well mate it is normal to be nervous but usually confidence in being around her makes your nerves go away." That is how he deals with his nerves around Emmy sometimes. "Plus maybe you go someplace very relaxing like a lake where you have more privacy." he suggested. Plus that is where he had his first kiss with Emmy but he wasn't suggesting kissing there at all.
He hear Lux's advice and couldn't agree with her more plus him and her were on the same page. He winked at Lux and smirked. "Yeah mate just tell her how you feel. There is no harm in trying you know. IF she rejects you then you know you gave it a shot." He considered both possibilities here.

Dylan frowned and sighed when Lux said he liked her. He knew he did... he just hated admitting it. He didn't normally like girls! This sudden change was so weird. Had he told his younger self this, his younger self probably would have stuck out his tongue and went on about how icky it was.
He gave a thoughtful look and nod at her advice. He would admit, it'd be hard to relax- wait, Bleu liked him too? The Puffer eyed Lux. "How do you know?" he asked curiously. Had Bleu said something? Or was it obvious and Dylan just couldn't tell?

Dylan gave a nod when Kace gave his advice. That all sounded good too, just a tad bit difficult. He then let out a sigh. "Yeah. I think I'll tell her. BUt do ya think it's too early?" he asked, cocking his head slightly. IT was all happening so quickly, he didn't know what to do...

Listening to Kace's advice, Lux couldn't help but completely agree. "Yep, you have nothing to lose by telling her you like her." It was always worth a shot and she honestly DID get the feeling that the feelings were mutual. She was pretty good at picking up on those things - when it didn't come to herself since she had missed the signs with Bay for months.
Dylan's question didn't come as a surprise since he would obviously want to know how she had reached that conclusion. "I just think she does by the way she was looking at you during the feast."
Dylan gave a nod when Kace gave his advice. That all sounded good too, just a tad bit difficult. He then let out a sigh. "Yeah. I think I'll tell her. BUt do ya think it's too early?" he asked, cocking his head slightly. IT was all happening so quickly, he didn't know what to do...
Kace understood Dylan's concerns and he waved him off. "It is never too early mate. What have you got to loose? I mean truthfully if she says no then you know what you tried and gave it your best shot. If you are feeling this way I would say go for it. I did that with Emmy." he smiled.
If he could remember correctly he made the first move with Emmy and kissed her in the lake and asked her to be his girlfriend. Man time has flown but anyways back to the present. He heard Lux talk to Dylan and he smiled. "Mate it is just women nature. Girls can know when they like a guy. I never understood it but they do." he shrugged.

Right, well, here they were on the kitchen floor. "Everybody take notes on everything," the Headmistress called out as they walked along. "Also, DRAW things." She wished they had one of the school yearbook students in this group, so somebody could take moving photos. That would make documenting this place a lot easier.

Oh my Merlin! Where was the rest of the group? Kate hesitated as she approached the Headmistress, who was encouraging them to take notes and draw things out. "Hello, Headmistress Truebridge," Kate greeted, and because she'd never personally introduced herself, she added "I'm Kate Addison." She'd drawn the yellow pencil after the Headmistress had left the meeting, so the Headmistress may not even know the young Ravenclaw was a part of the group.
Well, she did now!
Kate turned behind her to see if Margo had maybe gotten a yellow pencil, too. She didn't see her, but that didn't mean she wouldn't be along soon. Kate kind of hoped somebody would be along soon, because she really didn't know what she was supposed to be looking for.

Deciding walk ahead of Puck, Kace, and Tia--as he was kind of disgruntled about quite a few things at the moment-- Zander followed diligently behind the Headmistress. He knew this place very well, yup. Kitchens. Great place to start with exploration. That's what they were here to do anyways, right?
And okay so what, he was in a bit of a mood. A weird one. One because Kevin chose the other group. Two because Aegis intentionally marched up to him to bother the Prefect, not even mentioning the fact that he sat on Puck and then went ahead to oogle at her and throw out slick pick up lines. Three Tia didn't even acknowledge him and just went straight to Kace which was weird because weren't they friends and everything? Plus it just-- yeah why was he so mad about that anyways?? Weird. But he was here to explore and he wouldn't let any weird mood ruin that fun.
He made his way over to where the Headmistress stood and wait, say whuuuuuut? So they... weren't exploring? Hold on here. Is THIS what cartography meant?! Drawing stuff and taking notes? Hold on. No. If he wanted to take notes he would've just sat in the Common Room and continued studying for OWLs. He was here to break away from that miserable studying thing. He was here to EXPLORE not to... to take notes?! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS MADNESS???
"Wait, we're uh... we're taking notes?" No disrespect Mrs. Headmistress ma'am, but notes? What about exploring? Getting hands dirty discovering secrets. SEEKING OUT THE MYSTERY?! But notes. This sounded way too much like Arithmancy. And with the Headmistress? It was like his worst nightmare come to life.

Damien was a bit late, just a bitttttt, it wasn't his fault, he'd got a little caught up, okay, actually he'd tripped on the laces his Jordan's, whatever, point was, it wasn't his fault. Straightening out his ugly, unpleasant robes, he was about to fall into line with the others when he spotted Zander and walked up to him instead. "Hey dude," He said, straightening out his robes again. Damien was in an odd mood.
He'd been distracted and agitated ever since Rorie had talked to him the other night and he had no idea way, it was just this weird, restless, anxious feeling that a strange pit in his stomach that he couldn't shake. He was hoping that this little expedition would help him erase that weirdness.
Wait. There were supposed to be taking notes? Drawing things? Damien was bad at both of those things... Couldn't just... Commit it all to memory? If only Bianca were here, she could have just taken pictures for him. Shame.... Also... Wasn't that the headmistress? Oh shizzzz.

Hayden was not late. Nope definitely not. She had ran from the meeting ahead of her group so she could make a stop in her dormitory. She made it back to join the end of the group, even in front of a few people. She was impressed with the speed she managed to go. Though Hayden was a little winded it was worth it, because she now had her camera hanging around her neck. She thought it might be useful, though did also have a yellow pencil and paper. Whichever method was preferred, Hayden was prepared.
As she rejoined the group, she glanced around to see who else was part of the group. Two Gryffindor prefects who she had never met before. Kace, who she knew. Margo, a Huffie first year she had spoken to briefly but didn't know very well. Some Ravenclaw and another Gryffindor that she had never seen before. Also the Headmistress, the leader of their group and, well, the Headmistress. Hey, there was Kate! Hayden hurried to catch up with her Ravenclaw friend because she wanted to walk by someone she knew. Kate was pretty much the only person Hayden knew well in the group. That wasn't necessarily bad, it gave her the opportunity to make new friends, right? Right.
"What exactly are we looking for?" Hayden did look around, but there was nothing spectacular. She had been up and down that corridor more times than she could count during her time at Hogwarts. She did live there. Maybe joining this group wasn't the best choice, just for that reason. Oh well, it would still be fun. Right? Right?
If she had known how annoyed her CoPrefect was about the whole being sat on thing…she’d have said something to try and well diffuse the tension and help said CoPrefect not be in a weird mood? Because that was what friends and CoPrefects did right? Sure, she felt a bit weird about the whole Aegis thing but it was…it wasn’t intentional right? He had just not been paying attention like how he said blinded by her beauty…right.
So they were taking notes? Frowning was happening because she had left note taking for the ability to take more notes? Really? That just was not fun sounding at all at ALL. Puck couldn’t help but let out a little bit of a laugh when she heard Zander’s question because well she had been thinking the same thing.
Still she glanced over to Damien as he walked up to Zander and grinned. “Hey Damien,” Puck grinned as she walked up a bit faster to join said friends…Puck was reaching in her pocket while standing thing “accio camera” she cast in a hushed whisper carefully catching her camera as she did so. Heyaaaa! They were saved some drawing time yes? This would be great – and the Babe had helped her learn how to take really good realistic photos! YES!
She stood there for a minute before glancing to the Headmistress, “excuse me headmistress Truebridge – I’m uh…sorry about the whole fiasco upstairs, I will try to not let people accidentally sit on me anymore.” She sent her a kind apologetic smile.

Oh come now, this was an academic club!! Did the children really expect to get by without taking any notes at all? How were they to record their findings without any form of paper to record them on? She did note, however, that the one Hufflepuff of the group had thought to go grab a camera. Excellent. And a Ravenclaw in the group had the manners to introduce herself, to which the Headmistress replied with a solid nod and murmured 'pleasure.'
Back to the group at large.
"We're looking for EVERYTHING," she answered them all with a general wave of her hand. "And nothing, at the same time. We just need to note what we see and record it and then check records to see if there could be something we're missing, like a .... a passageway that used to be here but isn't any longer." She ran her sweeping hand along the stone wall as she walked.
"Why don't we peek in on the kitchens, mm? I know a pear just waiting to be tickled, and we can talk to the house elves while we're there. Have any of you ever seen their living quarters?!"
So exciting. Without waiting for a response, Anastasia disappeared behind the aforementioned portrait of fruit.

Kate watched as their numbers grew. She didn't really see many people she knew. She was finding that that happened more and more often. Was the student body really that big? Kate just wished she'd go ahead and find a group if close friends, so she could always navigate toward them. That was when Hayden walked up, earning a smile from Kate. "Hey, Hayden," she said. She was just about to answer the girl's question, when the Headmistress did so herself.
Kate turned her attention to the Headmistress, taking in everything while also trying to form a plan in her mind. So they were going to the kitchens, hmm? Kate turned to Hayden again. "Well, I guess that's where we'll start," she said. "Come on. Let's go see what this is all about!" Then with that, she followed the Headmistress.
Puck reached into her rucksack and pulled out her camera’s strap. Quickly attacking it to the camera she placed it around her neck and continued rummaging around until she found her pencils and the notepad that her…that Abbigail had given to her before returning to school. Tapping her wand into the cardboard of the notepad she muttered a quick “pango yellow” and watched as it suddenly was the same exact color as the rest of the kitchen group’s notepads. She was about to speak up about the sitting-incident when the Headmistress disappeared behind the fruit and into the kitchen.
Puck walked over to the tapestry, tickled the fruit, as the door wasn’t accessible anymore and quickly slipped through the doorway into the kitchens…hello maybe she could find why the house elves always seemed so hungry? That could be her side mission.

So..... There was really no way out to get out of this whole 'taking notes' business? And you know, he would've just left and all... But Headmistress. Had it been any other Professor, actually no. Had it been any other Professor-- except Botros maybe because that man was old and he'd probably forget anyways-- he'd still be here doing the same exact thing he was doing now. Attempting notes. And by attempting, really he had just written things like 'lots of walls, bricks, and cobwebs' over and over again.
At the sound of a familiar voice though, the Gryffindor looked up from his notepad of useless ramblings to see DAMIEN! Thank Merlin. Someone not a girl. And not Aegis. This he could use. "Hi, Damien... Thank Merlin you're here." Did he know that he was Zander Adair's savior right now? DID HE?! Was he even aware? *EYES*
But waaaaait, were they moving into the kitchens now? Uh oh. "Oi, they're leaving us, come on let's go in!"

Angel was looking around for a third cat, she had no idea one was following her, she must have picked it up somewhere because when she turned around to look at the thing, there was this cat at her feet. "Oh where did you come from?" Angel giggled and moved a few feet and the cat followed, this was interesting.
Angel did it a couple more times to see what the cat did and each time it followed her and now it was meowing... awesome, she looked in the book and beamed. "O___________o I'm getting money, will I be famous and will I become a movie star." Angel was thinking if her plants career didn't work then she could try for that, though she seriously wanted to work with plants if she could.
SPOILER!!: notes
The cat followed me and meowed, so I'm going to make some money but I don't know where or how, is there a way of telling how close in the future it will be, or will I become a millionaire some day, we'll just have to wait and see. I hope I discover a new plant and it's named after me and I get loads of money from it.

Chasing cats around the castle didn't sound like his idea of fun, it sounded like it required too much effort, to be honest. Maybe it had a lot to do with how lazy the boy was and the fact that he COULD be using this time to get some important things done. Like snogging, for instance.
See? His priorities were completely in the right place.
ANYWAYS. Cat. Kitty. One who wasn't Quigley because as fun as it would be to observe him, the dude probably wasn't gonna tell him anything about the future. No. To be honest, he had his doubts whether the normal cats could tell what was gonna happen but he wasn't gonna question it. Not now, when he had a homework to--
CAT!
A grey coloured one, too. Not that the colour mattered too much but it was something to note down in his notes. See? Coming down to the kitchen level corridor was the perfect plan since cats were lazy buggers and only wanted food and sleep. And what was the cat doing?
Laying down on the floor. Just laying there doing nothing with its forehead pressed against the floor. Grayson whipped out his notes and eyed the meanings. Yeaaaaah........ this one over here was trying to tell him that stormy weather was coming, which was NOT something that went down well with the guy. C'mon, he wanted summer and beaches, not rain and storm. What in the name of Merlin?
Yeah, whatever, notes were being made about this little beast.

In her ongoing desire to discover the castle, Janelle decided to check out the kitchens. While she was exploring, she hoped to find another cat to observe for her Divination homework. She was not disappointed. Ahead of her in the corridor was a little cat that seemed to have fur containing every possible color. Well that would be every color known to cats. "Meow", Janelle said, hoping to draw his attention. She did that and more because the cat began to head toward her.
"Hi there kitty", Janelle said to her new friend. She bent down to pet him gently. This cat had very smart eyes. He looked at her as if she understood every word she was saying. "I haven't seen you around before.". But then there were probably lots of cats that she hadn't seen before. Janelle laughed to herself, suddenly aware that she was becoming a cat lover. She still loved her dogs, but she was warming up to the kitties.
Letting the cat go, Janelle waited to see what he would do. The answer was nothing. He just stared at her. Nothing she tried made the cat move away from her. When she took a step back, the cat followed her. Janelle started walking toward the kitchen and the cat continued to follow her. Well this was going to be a problem. As much as she liked him, he couldn't go to class with her. She wondered if he belonged to anyone. Hmmm. The wheels started spinning. She had an idea, but she'd have to run it by Professor Cassie first. In he meantime, she wouldn't mind if the cat followed her back to her Common Room. First though, she had notes to write.
SPOILER!!: Janelle's notes
Multicolored cat with intelligent eyes. The cat was following me and I could not get him to stop. This means that I will be receiving money. Yay! I knew I liked this cat.
