In fact, those last days she had just snacked and that moment, when she was absolutely thrilled, was probably the best for her to get something on her small stomach.

And so, she kept looking up and down the table, having completely forgotten her little task of behaving like a princess, waiting for the food to pop on the furniture the same way the silverware and the serviettes had. However, it did not seem that the food would appear in such a way for a creature appeared instead. Seeing it bang something on its head, Melly's mouth dropped as she watched it. W-w-what was that?! Was it a student who had misbehaved so much that was turned into that? And why was everyone looking at it as if its behaviour was normal? That was far from normal! Even for magic!

That was not the only thing that surprised her for seeing the food being delivered in that way made her eyes widen again as she watched it move. Yep, that was for certain, the girl would never get used to the wizarding world or magic completely. Nuh-uh.

Biting her lip, she turned to Issy and Juni who seemed to be completely at ease with the whole situation. They'd never support something cruel, would they? "W-what is that?" She asked them in a whisper, raising a finger to point at the house elf.
It was so very easy for Issy to forget that not everyone was exposed to both Muggle and Magical world as she had been while growing up so Melly's question somewhat fascinated the small girl. Spot had been her family's House Elf all her life and she couldn't possibly imagine a life without him.

"That's a House Elf," she explained. "They're little creatures who live their lives to serve. Cook, clean, whatever. We have some who do our cleaning in the Common Rooms and dorms, the laundry, they cook all our meals. Often, they remain hidden, but some come out and show themselves."

And oh! Next course was the salad! Just like the fancy dinner parties back home. Lightly, she clapped her hands under the table, beaming and glancing over at Juni and Melly again.

"Next is salad," she crooned happily, eying the fork beside her plate. Inside out.
