When you try to enter the Great Hall, a big line of multicolored turnstiles magically materializes out of thin air to effectively block your path. You cannot go around the turnstiles and using magic on them will not have the slightest effect. If you want to enter the Great Hall for a meal, you need to pay a flat fee of 10 knuts to get in. Every time you wish to get in. You insert the money in the little hole on top off one of the turnstiles. The turnstile will then unlock and will allow you to pass through and get into the Great Hall.

OOC: The turnstiles will be seen by everyone regardless of year, house, or age.

This was getting extremely ridiculous.

When they said it was a knut for each entrance to the common rooms, Forrest deemed it wasn't too much. When he learnt it was ten knuts for each meal, Forrest deemed that was acceptable too, always believing that there would be some sort of muggle ATM to draw money, but there was NONE and he'd run out of knuts when it wasn't even a week into the term. He knew he had no power whatsoever to protest like older students did, but it'd started to get on his nerves too. Precisely to have knuts to enter the common room, he'd skipped lunch today and had eaten the stale sandwich he prepared at breakfast, but he was STARVING now and he refused to pay a sickle for a tasteless dinner.

Sitting right next to the turnstiles, he started SULKING as if the turnstiles would have some mercy, and waited for someone to appear.

Ofim had heard rumors that you had to pay to enter the Great Hall. Having to pay to enter the common room or Great Hall thing was RIDICULOUS. If they KNEW that they were going to be doing this dumb stuff, why hadn't them sent owls to the parents of the students to inform them they'd need to have money in their pockets just to enter certain rooms. What if some students didn't have the money to pay EVERY TIME they needed to eat? Were they expected the students to starve? There would be nothing that would get in his way of eating food, that was for sure!

SOMETHING needed to be done about this. RIGHT NOW!

Thankfully before returning to this fine institution,Ofim had stocked up on supplies that he may need.
As he approached the entrance to the Great Hall he saw only ONE other person was there. Could work in his favor..
As the turnstiles appeared and he smiled.

What to do...
He pulled out his wand and starting waving it like a mad man hoping that something would happen. NOTHING. Probably because he sucked at this magic thing. *SIGH*

Ofim takes the gum that he's been chewing and sticks it on a knut. Maybe lodging one in the turnstile will make it forever think that it has been paid and will let students in. NO LUCK.

These things are ridiculous. "THIS SCHOOL IS RIDICULOUS!" he shouts as he starts kicking and punching the darned turnstiles.

There was really no way of putting it any other way; Tobias was pouting. He may not be rich, but Tobias never went hungry, and he was never expected to pay for every meal, or for his comfort. He'd run out of money for food a few times already in order to make sure he could get into the common room at the end of the day, and the lack of food meant that he was much more easily distracted these days but much less hyper. Still, he was staying out of the common room for as long as possible so he didn't feel penned in and didn't keep having to pay.

After the first couple of days, he'd thought to keep knuts in the pockets of all of his robes, but his thoughts were on something else now. He seemed edgy as he pulled a handful of coins out of his pocket but suddenly caught sight of another... slightly familiar boy. From the sorting? Or... oh! His dormitory. Yes.

The boy looked unhappier than Tobias felt, and so he approached the boy and lowered himself to the floor too. It wasn't that far; he was quite short and the multitude of heavy coins he carried around were dragging him down anyway. It felt good to sit down.

"Hi," Tobias said, trying to smile as kindly as he could at the boy. He may be a grump when he was hungry, but the other boy looked kind of unhappy and Tobias couldn't help but try to be nice. "You alright?" Stupid question? "Do you need any help?"

Finally, someone arrived.

Forrest sulked less, mainly because it was rude, but also because he remembered the boy from his dormitories and sulking never left any good impression on people. He even straightened up a bit and tried to match his smile, though it was hard given the current conditions.

His stomach grumbled and he winced, putting his hand over it.

"I'm--" He stopped short. He realised it only NOW that he'd lok awfully stingy if he told his real reason of sulking, and he was too proud to ask for his money, even though he'd pay it back.

He got up with an effort. "I just don't have any knuts left and I'm hungry." Maybe he knew a way to create knuts or something.

Tobias heard the stomach growl, and for a second he thought it was his own even though he didn't feel that hungry yet, at least until the other boy covered his own stomach. But he ignored it and acted as though he didn't hear it out of politeness.

Ah, the knuts. Yes. That would be it.

"Well, I got a whole bunch of knuts; an older student gave me some. You can borrow some if you want? They're really heavy anyway, and I hate carrying money around," Tobias shrugged. It was true; if you jangled when you walk it kind of made you bully fodder. He hadn't encountered any bullies yet, and he was pretty sure he could handle himself, but he liked to avoid trouble.

He'd stood at the same as the other boy and now started to dig deep into his robe pockets even as he waited for a response.

No, no, NO, that wasn't why he'd been honest with him! Forrest opened his mouth to refuse--to say he had money, just in sickles and galleons when his stomach grumbled more loudly this time and it'd be just foolish to turn the offer down. The boy could probably tell his hesitation. One side was food, and the other side was his father's constant bragging about how much he earned and that they were in top-middle class.

At the age of eleven, food won.

"Only if I pay you back, 'cos I've got sickles'n galleons," he said hurriedly, getting a sickle out of his pocket in exchange.

"Well, we could trade? I've definitely got an extra 17 knuts here, so I can take a sickle in return?" Ah, the boy had a sickle, that would help.

As he looked at it, Tobias thought back to his first night. He was sure he remembered another older student saying something about using bigger coins, but he couldn't remember if the boy had said you could use bigger coins or that you definitely shouldn't. It was probably best not to test it now... and anyway... the slot on the turnstile was knut shaped.

Nah. It was fine. It was probably just for knuts. Yup.

After a long day of classes OIchi headed down to the Great Hall for dinner. As she approached the area she saw a sorely familiar sight of turnstyles like those to her common room which she still had not entered on principle. But this was different. It almost seemed kind of funny that she had mentioned payment for food would be ok on the same night she refused to pay to go in her common room. As she got closer she saw it was 10 knuts to get in. That did not seem like too bad a deal so she paid it and walked on in. She hoped that now paying for food the meal would atleast be better then the dreadful opening feast.

Forrest nodded, offering him the sickle in his hands. Although this didn't solve the problem at all--he would run out of knuts sooner or later too--it solved the problem of hunger for now, and Forrest was the happiest person on earth now.

"What's your name?" he asked while he waited for him to pass first (manners, y'know?). He was a much friendlier boy when he wasn't hungry.

Tobias smiled his friendliest grin as he pulled the change from his pocket. The boy counted out seventeen bronze coins and handed over the knuts in return for the sickle, which he immediately put into his less full pocket, before grabbing another handful of knuts for himself.

"My name's Tobias," he replied, feeding the coins into the turnstile one by one until ten had been pushed in. "Tobias Tempus." Yeah, yeah. Weird name. Tobias passed through the barrier and turned to face the other boy. He realised this was the part where he needed to do the handshake part of introductions, and decided it was best to wait. "What's yours?"

Thank him. Forrest didn't even thank him.

"Thank you, by the way," he hurried to say with a grateful smile as he placed the coins inside the turnstile to join him. "I'm Forrest Charlton." Handshaking? He didn't even remember that and paused only to wait for Tobias to keep walking as he zipped his bag back. He would eat the dinner with him, right? Would it be too inconfident to ask whether he was interrupting his plans or anything?

Mack approached the great hall, she was starving and could have sworn everyone walking around her could hear her stomach growling. As she rounded the corner she saw the unwelcomed sight of the turnstiles. She groaned "Seriously!!" She had been carrying money with her everywhere, next thing she knew she wouldl have to pay to send her own owl out. Which reminded her, she needed to owl her grandparents, maybe they could donate to the school and stop these ridiculous turnstiles. She approached the turnstiles and seeing no other option placed the only money she had on her into the slot, a galleon. "Anyone know how many times this will buy me food?" She grumbled as she was finally allowed to enter.

Sonea wasn’t surprised to see that she needed to pay if she wanted to enter the great hall but she was still annoyed. She understood now that there was a problem on Hogwarts but she still hated it that she needed to pay!

“Stupid problems” muttered Sonea and put the 10 knuts into the hole before she was allowed to enter the great hall.

Although Tora could skip a meal or two it was really difficult to pay attention in class when she was this hungry.Tora finally gave in. She had to get food. She was determined though to not pay 10 knuts for every meal. Maybe if she came in and sticked up on a bunch of food? She pulled out 10 knuts and scowling slipped through the turnstile.

10 knuts to get in?Juliet's eyes widened as she couldn't believe how much the payment is just to go inside the great hall. It's like a museum or something. But anyways, Juliet had no choice but the take out her change from her bag and then insert them into the turnstile. She admits though, that putting coins inside this machine is fun. Teehee.

Okay here we go again with the turnstiles *cue dramatic sigh*

Troy rolled his eyes and shook his head, he was not pleased. Looking down at his coin dispenser belt he sighed and gave it 10 clicks, so it will release 10 knuts. The exact amount he needed to get in. "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10!" Troy counted out loud, so he would get too many or too less from his dispenser.

He slowly put a knut in one by one, so they wouldn't get stuck and the turnstiles wouldn't rip him off. Because lets be honest, that would seriously be the near end of the world for the young lion.

Kat was starving. Although she tried not to remember the food from the Welcoming Feast, it didn't help her appetite at all. She needed food and she had nowhere else to go but the Great Hall. Maybe she should've bought a lot of food from the food trolley. They were better than the food in the feast, but it seemed like they didn't have a choice anymore. Making her way to the Great Hall, Kat walked fast. Almost running, but not exactly. She needed food as soon as possible.

Until she reached the entrance...

This was HORROR. The Great Hall now had a payment center like the common rooms? Kat eyed them. What is this joke? Whenever they needed food, they had to pay not one knut, but TEN of them. She crossed her arms. Kat was not okay with this at all, but her stomach seemed to be desperate for food. Good thing she had her coin bag with her. She took ten knuts and dropped all of them in... except the tenth knuts.

Hey, what if her gargoyle could drop that? It would be interesting, and nobody was in here but her now so why not take the opportunity to test it out? She took out her gargoyle from her pocket (she was supposed to teach it tricks WHILE eating too) and her wand out, holding the knut in between her pointer and middle finger of her left hand. Her gargoyle sat on the palm of her left hand and her wand on the right hand. "Piertotum Locomotor!" she said with a small wave of her hand. She kept her wand inside her pocket after casting the spell and took the knut with her left hand. Okay... so... "Drop the knut inside the hole on top of the turnstile." Phew, what a mouthful.

And then her gargoyle, Gary, bit on the knut. Kat moved her hand nearer to the turnstile and her gargoyle dropped it inside the whole. BINGO! "Good job, Gary," Kat said and beamed. The turnstile unlocked and Kat made her way in with Gary.

... Gargoyles don't need payment right?

Breakfast is always a good way to start the day, that's what her father say. Christina agreed much with her father's statement, that's why she'd never skipped breakfast. Gleefully she walked glided with her rollerblade to the great hall because she was hungry, and she wanted a good breakfast.

And she didn't think it was too early for rollerblading. Never.

And.. What was this madness? Turnstiles again? Sigh. She needed 10 knuts to enter this place! Good that she didn't forget to bring them EVERYWHERE. She didn't want to complain... much. Because she was hungry and she needed food. So then she put 10 bronze coins and passed the silly metal security gate.

Another turnstile.. and this one cost 10 knut.. Ten knut, Aphrodite .. hopefully she make no mistake on counting .. She reached into her satchel and took a pouch with some butterfly pattern on it which containing knut of hers well.. technically it still belongs to Laura.. She's so nice that she want to lend her some of hers.

Then she began to calculate quickly however still carefully. Slowly, Aphrodite insert one by one knut in her hand to the turnstile which lies in front of her and she walked past him, it is proper time to finally eat.

Blue was starving. Absolutely famished. She had sprinted up to the Common Room and ditched her bag just at the entrance. Now way was she paying two knuts just to keep her homework safe. PFFT. She skidded on the floor in her rush to get into the Great Hall, landing on her bum. "Owwww." Merlin dammit. There was FOOD in the room next to her. Not the most appetizing. Ruddy half-cooked broccoli. But even that seemed appealing right now.

That's when she saw them.

The turnstiles.

And she'd half to pay ten knuts.

Ten knuts.

Are. You. Freaking. Kidding. Me? Blue's jaw dropped so low it nearly touched the floor. "WHAT?! TEN?! It's bad enough we're paying for SLEEP but now to EAT TOO?!" Oops. Outburst. She didn't care. NOPE. Because she was RAGING. These were basic human rights. What was next?

Paying to use the loo?!

Elodie wasn't delighted with the thought of being back at school recently. It wasn't like this year was fantastic. Could you talk about a ploy to keep students poor and unable to afford anything in Hogsmeade or buy gifts for christmas? Elodie needed new wool and the amount of times she had entered her common room recently was most definitely the reason she no longer had enough money for said wool. Time to comfort eat.

Or..comfort eat the ick provided.

Oh, pelican beaks!

Els followed someone into the entrance of the Great Hall when they stopped. And then she actually paid attention to who and what was before her. THEY WANTED MONEY FOR FOOD NOW?! Oh, this was not ON. What if she only wanted something real quick?! What if she needed something because she was about to DIE?! This would be a situation come later in the year, wouldn't it? Someone wouldn't be able to get food and they'd die. DANGIT YOU ORANGE PEEL OF A SCHOOL.

"They're being serious about this money thing, aren't they?" Say it wasn't SO!

Peyton stared for a long moment at the turnstile. Ten knuts. Really? Hogwarts was really trying to wring them out of their money, huh? Well, too bad for them that she could afford being wrung out. Take that whomever is to blame. Haha.

At her feet stood Giles the gargoyle. Reaching inside her tiny owl purse, Peyton brought out ten Knuts that were copies of the original Knut Dylan had given her. So far it worked so she was going with it. Clunk, clunk, clunk, in the Knuts went. Almost immediately she took her wand out and directed it at Giles. "Piertotum Locomotor! Run little Giles, ruuuun!" she said.

The small stone figure seem to not have heard her request, but then it began to waddle forward. Not as fast as she would have liked it to go, but good for now. Peyton squee'd and followed after it.

Look at it! It could practically be in a circus now. Not really.

Mika ran her hand through her hair as she eyed the turnstile. She had not wanted to pay for food the entire term but the whole concept of eating something she made scared her. That would like like taking a large long sip of that disgusting potion from last term. She couldn't even think of it without paling.

So she didn't. She just eyed the turnstile and put her coins into it. "I'm sorry coins" she muttered as she put them in and walked through the revolving barrier.

Carsyn reached the turnstiles with her coin purse in hand. She'd been indirectly warned by other students that she'd have to pay to get into the Great Hall, when she overheard returning students making comments that this wasn't the norm for Hogwarts. She expected it would be similar to the fee to get into the common room; however she was shocked to find it was TEN TIMES as much!

TEN KNUTS?!? TEN?!!? They must be out of their minds! I'm going to run out of money in no time. I'll never be able to eat. I'll starve! My family can't afford to keep sending me money like this! I need to write home to mom and dad. This just isn't right! I... I... I feel like I'm going to pass out. Deeeeeep breaths. Inhale iiiiiiiiin. Exhale ouuuuuuuuut. Wooooosahhhhh.

When the lightheaded feeling passed and her breathing returned to normal, Carsyn grudgingly dumped ten knuts into the turnstile and made her way into the Great Hall, where she firmly intended to eat everything in sight and carry off as much as she could fit in her arms. If they were going to charge her everytime she entered the Great Hall, she was going to make her meals count!
