Kitchen https://i.postimg.cc/pXY4DJHm/kitchen-banner.jpg Once you've tickled the pear and turned the knob, the Hogwarts kitchen will be revealed to you. Located directly beneath the Great Hall, the kitchen is a high-ceilinged room with five identical tables to the ones in the dining room above. Unlike the room situated above however, heaped around the walls are large quantities of pots and pans. On one end of the room are shelves of plates and utensils, stoves, sinks, and a large brick fireplace. |
Open ^_^ Somehow, Tommy had made it to his sixth year. How was beyond him, but he was crediting skipping most meal times as part of it. Being around that many people too often was a sure fire way to ignite the fuse on his far too short temper. A temper that was particularly short today, for no other reason than he'd woken up and someone had looked at him. He'd spent the day avoiding his classes and now that dinner was winding down he finally decided to head down to the kitchens. Having missed both breakfast and lunch (and as a result the box in his trunk needed replenishing of protein bars), his mood had only grown more foul and the eagerness of the elves did little to help it. Throwing himself into a chair, he agreed with whatever one of them decided to serve him with an emhatic, "Whatever." |

She greeted the house-elves eagerly upon entering, and it didn't take long to notice there was another student in there! Figuring she better not ignore him, she took a seat nearby the older student and greeted him with a friendly smile. "Hullo!" she said brightly. She wasn't sure if it would be rude to ask what he was eating, so instead she just tried not to look too interested in his food. She would get her own when she was hungry |

He groaned a second time when she sat near him, glaring in a way that he hoped would make her rethink her choice of seat and move rather than responding to her hello. Only then did he turn to the food the elves had placed on the table beside him, pulling the bowl of stew towards himself and tearing off a chunk of bread to dip into it. At least with his mouth full, she might be less likely to try to engage him in conversation. |

Sophia was disappointed that the older student only glared at her, but she had older siblings! She would not be deterred by a simple glare!! In fact, he was practically inviting her to turn his glare into a....whatever was the opposite of a glare. Plus, his obvious preference for the food over conversation made her even more curious what it was. It must be delicious. When one of the house-elves came over looking incredibly sad, Sophia's eyes widened. She'd never seen a house-elf look sad before. If this was the big older student's fault, he'd have her to answer to!!! Taking a cue from Toddles on volume, Sophia nodded. "Yes please," she said quietly and as politely as she could. "Stew sounds fantastic, if it's, uh..." she gave a quick concerned glance at the older student, then back to the elf. "If it's not too much trouble." |

Now his throat hurt, and he was even more annoyed. Annoyed at the elf, and annoyed at himself for wanting to reassure the elf. Mentally shaking himself, he focused on the food, glancing in the younger kids direction as she looked at him. |

Toddles was only happy to help Sophia. He zoomed away with a happy little squeak. A short while later Toddles was back holding not one but two dishes. “Stew for the Missus. Garlic bread for the Missus.” With that toothy smile in place the dishes were placed on a table for her. “Toddles make the garlic bread himself!” |

"A sandwich and cookies? I can handle that so we don't have to bother any of the house elves." She offered right away. Anytime she could do something for herself, she did. Not that it always worked out that way, those house elves were pretty much almost always at the very top of their game and came to the rescue with food and drinks. "Do you have a favorite kind of sandwich or anything you really don't like on it?" Well, well, look at her cousin growing up and being a gentleman! Keigh smiled at him. "Thanks," she hummed happily, slipping past him and stepping into the kitchen to have a look around. |
Quote:
An eyebrow rose. She could handle that? Was she offering to put everything together and he could just hang out? If that was the case, then there would be no complaints from him. Though he did have to stifle a laugh. They wouldn't need to bother the house-elves? Well, maybe she didn't need to. He always "Oh, come on, Keigh. You know I'll eat practically anything that's put in front of me," Logan stated as he followed her inside the high-ceilinged room. "Buuuuuuut a club sandwich sounds good right now. A thick one." |

The eyebrow raise earned a smile from her. What? She was the nice one of the bunch. If preparing some sandwiches herself helped gave the house elves one less thing to do she considered that a win. Also it meant that Logan wouldn't be making a mess. If the house elves wanted to tend to them, she wouldn't say no but she was simply trying to be helpful. "Yeah, I know." Her cousin would probably eat a plate of rocks if it was set in front of him. Well maybe not but the point was there. "Uhhhhh-huh, I'll see what I can do." Keigh was already looking around the kitchen to see what she could find. Her search didn't last very long for barely had she gotten anywhere then a house elf was at her side, one she knew right away. "Hello, Toddles. If you're sure it's not bother... we were hoping to get a quick snack. Whatever you like is perfectly fine." She smiled warmly. Sandwiches, cookies, garlic bread. It all sounded wonderful to her! |

Scooting closer to the dishes, she took a big sniff. It smelled fantastic. She took a small scoop of stew, blowing gently on it in case it was still hot from the cauldron. She closed her eyes and sighed happily. "It tastes even better than my big sister's cooking!" she said. In her opinion, that was the best compliment one could give a cook. Carefully (she didn't want to burn her mouth), she ate some more stew. |

A club sandwich was at the forefront of his mind since Keighley had so graciously offered to make one for him. The Gryffindor was interested to see what she would do with it. Would she stick to the standard ingredients, or would she, like he would if he were making his own, improvise and add more ingredients than were needed? Only time would tell. Did someone say garlic bread? Hearing a very different voice, Logan quickly looked down to take in the sight of the floppy-eared house-elf. A friendly smile was given to the little creature, pleased to see that he was there rather than a certain other elf. "I can never say no to your garlic bread, Toddles," the boy told him. He wondered if a sanchwich could be made with it... And the blond still wanted that club sandwich. He'd save it for later. |

Logan & Toddles! <3 Keighley really didn't have any problems with making Logan and herself something to eat but there wasn't any need for her to be doing that. Which she didn't mind at all at the insistence of the house elf. "Thank you, Toddles. Garlic bread would be lovely.. and perhaps a cup of hot cocoa?" Even she couldn't deny that Toddles made the very best garlic bread and as for hot cocoa it was her absolute favorite drink. Was it possible to drink it all day? No, that might not be the best idea.. surely it would start to upset her stomach after awhile. The talk of sandwiches remained. "If you're asking Logan's opinion, Toddles, he might want all of those," Keigh laughed jokingly. She also knew of her cousins very large appetite. "Turkey and cheese is always a really nice combination though." Just a suggestion! |

When Toddles rattled off all the options, the Gryffindor thought all of them sounded excellent. The garlic bread was a must, considering it was the elf's specialty. His cousin's suggestion of hot cocoa was not a surprise to him, but that actually did sound quite nice with it being the winter season. As for the sandwiches, how in the world was he supposed to choose? "She's not wrong," he agreed to Keigh's statement about him wanting all of the sandwiches that had been mentioned. "Club sandwiches were mentioned outside, but I'll take what she's having." Logan grinned. When it came to food, he was not picky at all. "And I'll take some to-go for later. Those can be whatever you'd like, Toddles. It'll be a nice surprise." |

True to those words Toddles came back minutes later carrying a silver platter filled so much that there wasn’t space to actually see the silver beneath. “Cups of hot cocoa! Ham and Turkey sandwiches! Garlic Bread!’’ Toddles was quite delighted to be serving such a spread today. “Toddles will have those sandwiches fixed for taking.” A few of each would be just right for the studentsies. [/COLOR] |
Logan & Toddles <3 This Hufflepuff right here really liked Toddles. She knew that when it came to garlic bread, they were going to be getting the best there was. Not to mention sandwiches and hot cocoa too. This was snack heaven and she was such to be stuffed afterwards but wasn't that the point? Keighley sat down at one of the tables as they waited for Toddles to return (not that the adorable little house elf would take long). "I really don't know where you put it all, Logan. If I ate even close to the amount of food that you ate.. I'd be sick all of the time." His daily consumption of food was likely how much food she ate in three days. Yes, yes, she got that he was a 'growing boy' and all that.. but still! When Toddles returned with a large platter piled high with food, Keigh smiled thankfully at him. "This is amazing, Toddles! Thank you so much!" Were they really meant to eat all of this? Okay, they would eat it all but that was only because she had her cousin with her. |

The third year joined his cousin and sat down at the table, chuckling at her comment. "You and everyone else have the same thoughts," he responded with a shrug. "Even I don't know how I do it. Maybe it's the result of an Undetectable Extension Charm of some sort." The odds of that were unlikely, but his stomach seemingly being a bottomless pit may lead one to briefly consider such a thing. In no time at all (How long had that been? Just a few minutes?), a feast was placed before them. The boy's blue eyes widened with glee and both hands instantly inched toward the platter, one hand grabbing a piece of garlic bread and the other a sandwich. "Mmm. You're the best, Toddles," Logan managed to thank the house-elf with his mouth full of food. |

Logan & Toddles! "If that was even possible I would very much consider it myself," Keighley agreed, joining in along with Logan's laughter. Sometimes she wished she could eat the way her younger cousin did but then she would have to work ten times as hard to burn off all of those calories! "So what do you have planned for after lessons today? Anything fun?" The first thing she reached for was obviously a cup of cocoa which she cradled in her hands letting it warm them for a minute. "This smells so lovely!" Lifting the mug to her lips she took a small sip and it was perfect! Not quite like home but close. The smile she gave to Toddles was a bright one. Setting the mug down she reached for a sandwich. "We'll be right here. I don't think Logan will be leaving until all of this wonderful food if gone." |

Munching away, switching from the garlic bread to the sandwich and back again, the Gryffindor thought about his cousin's question. Truth be told, he hadn't thought that far ahead. He had primarily been focused on filling his stomach. "Dunno. Might find something to do with Vasco --" He paused for a moment to chew and swallow. "-- or bother Vera and Sable. Anything that isn't homework, you know. What about you?" A hand already reaching for another sandwich, though his gaze turned toward Toddles as he started scurrying away. The boy couldn't help but roll his eyes after being called master again. It really didn't sit well with Logan. "I don't understand why they insist on calling us that. I can't even count on my fingers how many times I've said he could call me Logan." No more was said about that, however. He had oodles of bread and sandwiches to eat before he absolutely had to run off to class. |

Taking a bite of her sandwich, the blonde let the question sink in when it was tossed back her way. "The correct answer would be get in some studying for my OWLs but I'll probably spend some time with Liv and then some time with Charlie." Separately of course since the girlfriend and the boyfriend can't be around one another. That's what happens when she puts herself in complicated yet very happy relationships. "It's what they're used to. It doesn't matter how many times you tell them not to." Hogwarts is run a certain way and the house elves follow certain orders whether or not they all agreed with it. Keigh took another bite of her sandwich. At least Toddles seemed like he was happy. |

Had food not been there to keep him from yawning, the Gryffindor certainly would have yawned at the very moment Keighley brought up studying for OWLs. Just hearing about it was boring enough, and he was relieved that he didn't have to worry about that for a couple more years. But what was significantly more interesting was the mention of Liv and Charlie. "And how's all of that going, hmm?" He had ... reasons ... to be intrigued with how relationship things worked. With another sandwich making its way to his stomach, Logan reached for what had to have been his third or maybe fourth by now. He supposed his cousin was right about the elf being used to addressing people in such a manner, though... "Should they even be calling us Missus and Master? We're not technically their masters, yeah?" He was positive that they were employed by the school, not owned, so the whole master thing didn't make much sense to him. |
