"Pleasure to meet you, Keeley." Eli said automatically. His pureblood parents had raised him with proper manners. He packed his text back in his duffel and shoved it under the chair for later so his hands could be free for their kitchen trip. After all, can't cripple my cupcake carrying capacity. he thought, smiling at the clever alliteration.

"Your friend can come too, if she likes." He looked at the girl she had been talking cupcakes with. Eli was excited; he had never been in the kitchens before! After a term spent mostly in the library studying and feeling all alone, he was looking forward to an adventure, no matter how small.

As he moved to lead the way toward the kitchens, his eye caught two first-years having an intense conversation and-- Whuuut?! Did she just say kiss?

"You'd best not be kissing in the common room! If Professor Vindictus catches you it'll be a zillion points from Ravenclaw!" he told them sternly. Sure, he was a just a lowly first year, but he was intent on seeing Ravenclaw take the cup. Plus, he was going to be Prefect and Head Boy one day. He might as well start acting like it. Father always said you identify your next intended station in life, then act accordingly.

Sophie turned around,as she heard someone's voice.She didn't recognize it.
She came to the group of kids,deciding to meet them.She really needed company.
"Uh...Hello,I'm Sophie",she bit her lip,nervously looking at them.

Teehee. This kid was polite, very polite indeed. How nice. "Of course." Keeley skipped to Namintha, grabbed her hand and pulled her to their group. "We're going on an epic quest for cupcakes, wanna come with?" Of course she did, who wouldn't? Weirdos, perhaps. Whatever. And EWWWWW! First years kissing? Eleven year olds kissing?! Gross! Keeley was thirteen, and she'd never had a boyfriend, let alone kissed anyone. How. Disgusting. But even worse, they'd lose us points, so this had to be stopped. "That's against the rules, people, get a room." And not the common room. Now that that was over with, she noticed another firstie girl who looked rather nervous at the prospect of talking to them. D'awww, nothing to fear, firstie girl, even if she and eli had rather colorful hair. But they were quite friendly, really. "Hiya Sophie! I'm Keeley!" With that, she skipped to the firste and gave her a biiiig hug! There, now Sophie wouldn't be shy.

Evan walked into the Ravenclaw common room, the blue and bronze colors of the common room always made him feel calm, reminding him of Beauxbatons. But he saw how most of the people were arguing. There was a girl with hair even bluer than the décor, so it was time to investigate.

“What’s going on?” he asked calmly. Did he hear arguing about kissing, and cupcakes??

Keeley glanced up, tapping her bright orange boots. It was a force of habit. Who was this dude? She'd never seen him before. But whatever, new people always meant yay! Unless they were mean, then they meant boo! This guy didn't seem mean though, so she giggled and explained. "Well, we're going on an epic quest to the kitchens for cupcakes, and scolding first years."

Emily walked into the comon room and kept her head down, she ws holding a book and had her nose burried into it... she walked in and walked straight into a boy and knocked him and herself over...

"Oh my goodness I am so sorry! Are you okay?"

Emily got up and held out a hand for him, she hoped he wasn't hurt. There she went again knocking people over!

Ack, first years kissing? Awkward….

“Can I tag along?” he asked. Cupcakes were always yummy, and he could always give one to Bonnie later. “Wait, you can just go into the kitchen and ask?” he questioned the girl.



Out of no where, he was pushed down to the ground. Surely, he realized it was an accident from it being a girl reading.

“Yes I’m fine,” he said with a chuckle. He took her hand and got back up to his feet.

Keeley grinned and nodded. "'Course you can! The more the merrier!" She giggled as she thought about how big their quest group was getting. Let's see, now there would be Eli, Namitha, Sophie, the kid that she didn't know his name, and herself of course. Emily would probably want to come too. Well, good thing that more meant merrier.

'Of cource!!!!',she said,excitedly.She had made a friend-this girl was really very nice..

'Hi Sophy,I'm Namitha,fourth year',she said

Grey Lady's Ghost! It was the girl! Eli had never spoken to her ever-ever-ever, other than one mumbled s'cuse me as he accidentally bumped into her while climbing out of the boats their first day at Hogwarts. She had smiled at him then, and he melted. Eli had seen her in the halls a couple of times, and even in classes. And now she was biting her lip and oh, talking to them! To Him! And she had a name. Sophie. Ah... Her name sounded like an angel's sigh.

He looked down at his feet as though his shoelaces were now the most interesting thing in the world.

"Erm... hi. Sophie." Awkward! He smiled at Namitha, too. Having her there made it seem less awkward somehow. "Pleasure to meet you both." he told both girls a little more confidently.

Eli nodded, feeling happier than he had perhaps in all his time at Hogwarts and glad Keeley was busy gathering the group so he had a minute to recover from his sudden burst of Shy with Sophie.

"We'll have to be very quiet though, and clever of course, so we don't get busted. I heard that if you get caught nicking sweets between meals, Professor Vindictus will take out your tongue for a week.!" He nodded wisely. This was not, strictly speaking, true at all, but their head of house did have a reputation for being very strict, but there was no clear rule about nicking sweets so logically, it was unlikely that they'd lose actual points or be punished. Besides, if there was no implied threat of danger (real or imaginary), where was the adventure?

Teehee. Teeheehee. Eli fancied Sophie! Teehee. Keeley could just tell by his slight awkwardness and the way he looked at her was classic. Not that she knew much about any of that stuff, but this certain case was quite obvious. And adorable to boot. But she wouldn't embarass those two by letting on, and after all, there were more important matters to think about: their epic and daring quest for cupcakes. She nodded at all of the things that her new firstie friend said, crossing her eyes and sticking out her tounge to get a good look at it. Having no tounge for a week would make for a sad, sad exsistence indeed. "We have to make sure that nobody will see us, and if anyone acknowledges us as we pass, then make something up. I hope y'all are good liars." Keeley was a quite good one, so she might have to cover the sneakiness for the group. "There will be top security in the kitchens too, magic locks, super spy lasers, and cyclopses that gaurd the pantry." Actually, all of that was made up, but the dangers would make everything ten times more fun. "This will be a very, very dangerous mission indeed. But the delicious cupcakes make all of the perils worthwhile." Yes indeed. No one could forget what they where sneaking for.

Eli nodded soberly. Cyclopses? He hoped she was making those up, and though he had NO idea what a 'super spy laser' was it sounded extremely deadly and so very exciting! "There will be danger, and some of us might not make it back alive, but our victory will be worth the cost. Let the Great Cupcake Caper Commence!" Two alliterations in one day; he was on a roll!

"We need two of us to go first, for reconnaissance, to check the halls for prefects, professors and other busybodies. Then, once the coast is clear, the rest of us will follow... Our cover story will be we're on our way to... Hmm... To deliver a book bag to the Hufflepuff common room, maybe?" Hufflepuff was on the kitchen level, wasn't it? "We can use my duffel. What do you think?" It might look suspicious, all those kids for one delivery, though. He looked to his fellow 'claws, trying to think up a good cover story.

Keeley giggled with excitement and anticipation. Hogwarts definately needed more adventurings, it was a blast! Putting on a serious, about to go into battle face, she looked to Eli like a commander. Someone might not come back alive, huh? That would certainly be her, she would bravely sacrifice her life for the sake of the great cupcake caper! She nodded at her purple haired friend's plan, adding her bit. "I volunteer to go first as a lookout, and even put my life on the line for the sake of cupcakes," she said in a deadly serious voice, even if the temptation to giggle was strong. "But the coverstory won't work with all of us, so if anyone comes by, split up into pairs, and meet in the great hall." As an afterthought, she grabbed her shoulder bag to 'carry the book'. Good. All they needed is another lookout volunteer, and mission: cupcake caper would be a go.

Wow,Keeleey was so nice!Sophie gave her a big hug back.
"Hi!",she wasn't nervous anymore.Thanks to Keeleey.

"Hello Namitha!Nice to meet you!",Sophie said,with a big grin on her face.

Sophie smiled at the boy,blushing.His presence made her feel...weird.Yes,it was weird,but nice at the same time.
"Hi",she murmured."It's nice to meet you."Sophie really meant what she said.
"By the way,what's your name?",Sophie smiled at him.

Keeley giggled, knowing that she had made Miss Sophie the Firstie very confident and happy. Yayy! She had made someone happier, and it was her goal to do something nice every day. Mission accomplished. Teehee, she fancied Eli, too! Mwahahaha, she might have to play the matchmaker. Funn! But that was something for tomorrow, as today, they had a cupcake caper to pull off. Brushing back a lock of her shockingly electric-blue hair, she looked around at their little group. "So, who else is going to be a lookout with me?"

"What are you talking about?",Sophie asked confused.She had no idea about what Keeleey was talking.Though she thought that they've mentioned something about cupcakes."Cupcakes?"

Evan just listened as everyone was making the plans. Did they really have the kitchen all protected like that? If it was, why should they go in? But this sounded fun.
“I’ll go lookout with you,” he said to the blue haired girl. This was going to be fun!

Keeley giggled, although she really wasn't looking forward to going through their plans with Sophie. Hmmm.. her matchmaker instincts were mixing with laziness. "Uhhm, Eli will explain the details. But basically we're going on a super epic adventure quest to the kitchens to get cupcakes, but there will be many perils and dangers, and we may not all make it back alive." Teehee. Ooh! Kid-She-Didn't-Know-By-Name had volunteered to be her other lookout! Brushing back a lock of blue hair that was cut as short as his, she smiled. "Good. Now, is there anything else we need to go over before phase one commences?" Duude, this was gonna be awesome!

Rebecca walked into the common room and sat on the couch. Her mood eyes were white, for bored. They immediately turned to dandelion for mixed emotions. She was bored and calm at the same time. But she was still bored.

Damon entered the common room and saw another student apparently not having anything to do. "Hey" Damon said "Mind if join you" he said. He was looking for someone more to talk to.

"Yea, sure," Rebecca said, her eyes turning from dandelion to baby blue. Now, she was just relaxed."I'm Rebecca."

"Im Damon" said Damon "Pleased to meet you for that matter. How is school going for you right now." Damon was trying to make this as interesting as possible. Good thing he was already nearly done with his homework assignments already.

"School's going great!" Rebecca exclaimed. "How's it for you?" she asked as her eyes turned green for normal.

Damon saw her eyes changing colors. He liked that a little. "Its going good for me but the homework situation is another story." Damon instantly had several papers in front of him.

"Oh, I hate homework. But putting that aside, schools great," Rebecca said. "So, how old are you?"
