The Kitchen
 

For Lux/Whittt!
 

Eden liked food. She really did. Food was one of the beeeest parts of livin', all right? She didn't know how ghosts DID it. Like...yeah. Eden would never want to be a ghost.

And now, she wanted to do research on how to become a ghost just to make sure she DIDN'T become one. Because she couldn't LIVE without food. Ghosts weren't really alive, though, were they? Merlin--this was making her brain hurt.

Too. Much. Thinking.

Having journeyed far and wide from the GREAT RAVENCLAW COMMON ROOM, Eden slipped into the kitchen after tickling the pear, and she peeked around for some elves....or...any food. She could also make her own food. Eden was a pretty decent cook. Baker, Whatever. WHEEE.

.......FOOD.

Ern/Dot
 

Cinna needed food but not only did she want food. She wanted to make her own food. COOKIES. Yes. Cookies. Baking would take her mind off things. At least for a while, anyway. Justine had told her to fake being happy. That it would only make things worse. And not to be ashamed of being hurt. The fact of the matter was the fifth year was a tough girl. You know big girls don't cry? Except for this time the big girl had been crying.

But no more, at least for now. She was going to make cookies for friends, house mates, strangers, professors. Everyone. Yes everyone. She even bought her a apron. She headed into the kitchen relief that just the house elves were the only ones there.

So cookies, chocolate chip? You could never go wrong with Chocolate chip cookies, right?

Lux was HUNGRY, and that was why she was heading to her favourite place at Hogwarts.

Ahhhh, the kitchen. She had missed it and the lovely house elves. Shame that Bay was graduated and they couldn't eat here together anymore. At least she had seen him recently, and would be seeing him again soon; that thought made her so excited!!

Skipping into the room, she spotted Eden. "Hiiiiiii!! ISN'T FOOD AMAZING?!" Yummy food!!!

Eden turned around as soon as she heard someone-----

LUUUUUXXX!

Her NEW friend--used to be ENEMY--Eden smiled and went to give her a GREAT BIG HUG. "Hey, cutie--" she said and she waved. She still had her nails done from when Lux had did them yesterday. So...pretty. "I tried not to chip ANY of them--" she held up her hands in front of Lux's face. "Do they still look nice?" she asked softly.

WHEE.

EEEEP!! BIG HUG. *_______*

Lux was like Olaf; she loved hugs. Especially boyfriend hugs because they were the most magical of all and made her happiest. Eden hugs were amazing too. BEAMING, she hugged her new friend. Yaaay, they were friends now and that was super awesome!!

It was nice to see that the manicure was still intact - not that she doubted they would be. BUT STILL. "They still look amazing! And I did mine too!" But hers were RED with GOLD sparkles. For reasons. Wink. Happily Lux held her nails out for Eden to see.

Eden Liked hugs, too, from people she liked. That's why before, she didn't like Lux hugs, but now...she did. WHEE. Friends now. Eden supposed she understand more of Lux now. She didn't think Lux was so...judgmental anymore. Which was quite nice, too, since Lux was a good friend to have. She could do nails WELL.

Lux's nails looked awesome, of courseee! "Oh--they look nice--they remind me of Phoenix--" she said with a smile. Like Gryffindor, and Phe also really liked sparkles. He was...that cool. "Are they supposed to be Gryffindor? For..." she smirked, "Bay?"

SHE KNEW IT.

Hehehe.

It made her snicker, and she glanced around. "So. what kind of food do YOU want, doll?" she asked sweetly. Eden was trying to decide between a dessert and actual food.

It was nice to know that Eden liked her nails because Lux had tried to get them as Gryffindor as possible. The mention of Phoenix was nice since Lux knew that he had Eden were in an open relationship. Honestly the concept seemed a little odd to her, but she was not going to judge because people should do what made them happy so long as no one got hurt in the process.

"Yes! Bay! Gryffindor is the best House in my opinion." It was a shame she wasn't Sorted there, but she was still considering taking Nearly-Headless Nick up on his earlier suggestion. "I want cucumber sandwiches!"

smalls huffies studenties and ravennies studenties.
 

Tippin needed to makes somes mores foods he dids. *POP* down to the kitchenss. Littles masteres downs in Tippins homes, no no no... "MISTRESSESS?????" they waant Tippins cucumbers?? Tippin guards the big cooler where they is kepts. Saves Green thingys, yes. ALL TIPPINS.

There was a small ginger Slytherin in the kitchens, and she was in search of a snack. Something she could make herself, which limited the possibilities a bit. Dot hovered around the house elves before deciding to pop herself some popcorn... and then she was suddenly joined by a Cinna.

Perfect timing. "Hi." Dot ate a kernal and followed Cinna in whatever direction the older girl was going. She looked a bit worn and sad, not that Dot blamed her or would comment on it, and Dot planned to be very good company until Cinna looked happier. "I made popcorn. Are you hungry? 'Course you are, 'cause this is the kitchens. Are you hungry for popcorn?"

Toddles checks kitchens. Yes Toddles does. Toddles walked down to kitchens. Toddles see lots of masters and mistresses in kitchens. He also sees Tippin. What Tippin here? Toddles help studenties yes he shall. He moved his little feetsies and could help tiny mistress right here. "Mistress needs helps?"

For Chance!
 

Chance was a growing boy. And growing boys needed to eat. All. The. Time.

His stomach was already growling even though he had eaten not too long ago. As he made his way down to the familiar path to the kitchens, he thought about hat he wanted. The top of the list was always fried chicken, but seeing as how that's what he ate earlier, he figured it was about time to eat something different for a change.

Hmmmm, maybe some apple cobbler. Ohhhhh!!!! His stomach growled heavily for that. Apple cobbler it was! And maybe some homemade icecream. That was the good stuff.

Tickling the portrait, Chance walked into the kitchens and have a huge smile to the elves. They were sure to remember him. "Elvsies!!" He called out with open arms before he realized that a familiar face was down here with him. "What?? The kitchens?! We have the same mind!" He said smiling and reaching over to pull her into a hug. "How are you Nicole? Liking Hogwarts?"

Eden raised an eyebrow. "What? Why don't you think Hufflepuff is the best?" she asked, thinking this was....weird. "Hufflepuffs are great--" she liked Gyrffindor. She liked Hufflepuff. But she was a Ravenclaw and she loved her house. And she felt like everyone should take pride in their own house. Regardless. Hmph.

Cucumber...sandwiches? Eden had never had one. But she crinkled her nose at the thought. "Are they...really..that great?" she asked, sounding a little skeptical about this. Hmm. The concept..she just didn't KNOW. But she might as well try 'em? No harm in that.

......

Eden's eyes widened--and she heard the TINY little voice--of all the times she'd been in here--the elves had left her alone--AND SUDDENLY SHE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO MEET ONE??!!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?

EXCITEMENT. TO THE MAAAAAAX.

Eden SMILED her biggest and bowed to the little elf. "Hello there--" she said kindly, but not overly sugary. She turned to meet eyes with Lux and then looked at the elf. She didn't know if she should...ask the elf where the cucumbers were..? "Um--We just--we were gonna' make some cucumber sandwiches--if this is...all right?"

She wasn't sure how to speak to these guys. Iwin would know. Darn it. Where was her SNOTTY pureblood cousins when she needed them?

Toddles sees mistress and sees she is nice mistress. Yes she is. Toddles hears mistress asks Toddles things. Toddles knows where milkies yes. Yes Toddles does. Toddles loves milkies. "Toddles knows were milkies mistress..." he moves his little feetsies towards the fridges and points to milkies. "There mistress.." Now onto finding the cookies. "Toddles knows where cookies are. Yes Toddles does." moving his little feetsies he found the cookies.

The cookies looked yummy Toddles yes they does. Toddles opens cookies jars and sees no cookies. "Mistress noo cookies heres." Toddles was upset yes he was. Toddles forgets and eats them all. "Toddles could asks Tippin to give cookies?" The little elf tells mistress.

Toddles sees masters yes he does. Toddles thinks masters needs helps. "Masters need helps?" Toddles offers help yes he does.

The fifth year tied her apron around and neck and waist. Look at her looking like a really tall house elf. Tehe. She went over to to the cabinets. She got out the flour, sugar, some chocolate chips, some vanilla flavoring and of course cinnamon. She added cinnamon to everything she makes. Well almost everything.

Hearing footsteps and a hi from behijdt her she turned and seen Dot. "Hey, polka Dot." She gave the younger girl a smile, that was convincing right. Eh probably not. She managed to get a laugh out too. So maybe that helped with the convincing. But maybe she shouldn't be trying to convince anyone of anything. popcorn? "So hungry. I'd love some popcorn. Wanna help me make some chocolate chip cookies?"

...Why was Eden asking her that when the answer was obvious? Confused Lux was confused. "Because Gryffindor is the best." Just because she was in Hufflepuff didn't mean that it had to be her favourite. But it seemed that her friend was getting the wrong idea here... "Noooo, I love Hufflepuff. I just love Gryffindor more." So it wasn't like she HATED her House or anything - and there WERE Hufflepuffs who hated being Sorted there.

Aaah, another person who has yet to try the deliciousness that was cucumber sandwiches. "They are amazing!" Lux was about to go on about the wonders of cucumber sandwiches when a house elf arrived. Awww, they were so cute with being all tiny and bad at grammar. AWWWWW. Lux wanted to snuggle the little elf, but thought it might not be the best idea when she didn't know him - it was a him, right???

"Hello! Yes, you have cucumbers, right???"

Toddles sees mistress without cookies. Toddles feels sad. Yes he does. "Toddles gives cookies to mistress. Toddles wants mistress to have cookies.." Toddles moves his little feetsises to Tippin and asks elf. "Tippins we needs more cookies.." He points his little finger to mistress.

For anyone that wants to grab her :)
 

Studentsies. Loud studentsies in kitchen.

Quirly sees Tippin and Toddles, yes she does. Toddles is talking about cookies. Mistress wants cookies and Quirly will help Toddles and Tippin get mistress cookies. "Quirly help Tippin and Toddles!"

Polka Dot. Hehe. Dot stopped her following of Cinna long enough to pull herself up on the counter, and then she settled in to watch with her popcorn. Occasionally, she'd offer the bag to Cinna for sharesies, but mostly she was eating it all. ALL GONE. Yum.

"I can help make cookies. You show me how and I'll take careful notes in my brain until next time. I help my mum, but maybe you do it different." She wanted to drop popcorn into the bowl, just to see what happened, but Dot was very aware that she was trying not to get disowned at the moment.

"Cinna. You... are you okay?"

Nicole saw cookies. She liked cookies, no matter how fattening some of them could be. She shuffled silently over to them and picked one up. Oatmeal. Oatmeal cookies were great. She swallowed, trying not to drool all over her robes. She would not look like a food-loving girl.

She brought the cookie up to her mouth, about to take a bite, when she heard a familiar voice calling for the elves. Nicole quickly put it inside her pocket and turned around to see her friend Chance. "I guess we do," she replied, giving him a smile. It felt nice to see him at Hogwarts, as classmates instead of old neighbors. "Though I'm not really hungry at the moment, I just ate," she added with a shrug.

The girl momentarily froze when Chance reached over to hug her. She had never hugged a boy other than her younger brother before in her life. Also, this was Chance - her old friend who was three years older than her. Getting rid of the strange feeling, she hugged him back and patted him on the back awkwardly. "I'm doing good and yes, I love this place." Nicole said, gesturing... to the kitchen. She hoped he understood that she meant Hogwarts, not just the kitchen. "What about you, Chance? How was your summer?" she asked.

Some moments later, a house elf appeared next to Chance. Nicole assumed it was because he called out for them so loudly as he entered. She was not very happy of how certain people were treating house elves. "Hello," she said, smiling at the small elf. "Thank you for offering, but I think he can serve food for himself," she turned to her friend. "Right?"

Jay/Aegis and mention of the elves ^_^
 

Yes, it had been a few days yet yes she also was not over a specific incident that had happened at the lake. Due to this, Abbi literally avoided being outdoors or anywhere near the lake at all costs. Her attempt of walking daily this term took place indoors now, around the school, rather than outside in the fresh air.

Her walking route was simple. She went all around the seventh floor corridor, walked down the staircases of the sixth, fifth, fourth and third floor only to reach the second where she would have a bathroom break. Once that was done she would reach the ground floor, walk some more around and eventually reward herself with a treat on the kitchen level.

It was no different today and when Abbi reached the kitchen door she was not as sweaty as most would be after a walk but her breathe was short enough to tell she'd been doing some sort of activity. The fifth year plonked at one of the five tables and waited for a house elf to notice her. "Yoh!" she called out as she tried to call them.

The Kitchen was much bigger than where his GeeGee had normally set up Shop...which you know was one of those Typical Family Kitchens. She was very well stocked of course having an extension charm placed within each of her cabinets. Still it didn't hold a Candle to the one he stood in now.

What was he going to make today. No more baked goods, he was tired of making baked goods. Even if they were for the Babes of Hogwarts. Perhaps just some good old fashioned fancy bite sized sandwiches. Hmmmmm so where did those House Elves keep the Bread? They wouldn't get in his way of Cooking would they? He'd go defile another Room if he had to. Make them clean it up to be out of his way.

Yoh? who was Yohing? Aegis turned his head and spotted one beautiful Abigail Campbell! His face lite up with glee and his cheeks turned to a bright pink. "Abbi-Swaaaaaaaaaaaaan!" Aegis yelped as he slide to her on his knees. "Abbi, my sweet! What brings you to me at the Kitchen?!" He clasped her hands into his and stood up, bringing them close to each other. Face to face.

Quirly notice mistress at table and heads to her fast as her toesies can. Now master with mistress. "Mistress and master needs helps?"

Hello house-elf Aegis, apparently.

Abbi snorted at his bright red cheeks, Lucas' cheeks did that too but that was different and adorable in her eyes. What happened next was more giggles and snorts in Abbi's case as Aegis slid across towards her. The kitchen had became his theatre or something but hey she didn't say that was a bad thing. If anything why not make a performance within a kitchen, the food deserved some entertainment too, didn't it?

"Romeo, what's in a name? that which we call food.." Shakespeare reference because honestly the way he spoke to her sounded like that, not to mention the fact that he'd just taken her hands in his which sent a strange tingle among her fingertips. She stood as he did and looked straight at him. He was a seven, not a six that's all her mind would accomplish before the elf saved her.

"Yes please. Are there any snacks around today? I'm starving." Her head turned to the elf whilst she beamed at it.

See now here's the thing. Aegis did not like to Read, but as a Romantic it was important that he at least know the Lines to anything and all the things Romeo and Juliet. "I take thee at thy word: Call me Breadloaf, and I'll be new raised; Henceforth I never will be Hungry." She was ten in his eyes (as was all the ladies), and Lucas should be proud of such a catch. He was just about to ask if she would like him to make her a Sandwich, when out came a House Elf. "No, no need. I can make her Food. It is a Man's job to feed the Ladies after all..." he paused for a moment, and looked back over at Abbi. He wasn't sure if she was the type who thought these creatures adorable, or annoying. So he sighed. "But if you could help me locate the Bread. I'd greatly appreciate it."

"Toddles is sorries mistress, Toddles is very sorries. Toddles wonts bothers no mores." Toddles moves his feets quicklies yes he does.

Toddles sees new studentesies yes he does. Toddles maybes helps mistress. Toddles sees hers and asks, "Mistress needs anys helps?"

Amur started from her head-tilted-back-wide-eyed-stare-of-wonder wandering at the sound of a voice oh so very close. Pulling her head back forward, Amur blinked and then looked down.

Her grin broke free. The only thing that seemed to be shorter than her in the school were the elves, and even then, it wasn't by much. This elf looked just as sweet as Tippin, though she was fairly certain it wasn't Tippin. Small distinctions and all.

"I do actually." She glanced around at all the students before her smile returned to the house elf. They seemed so polite and eager to help, as long as they weren't bashing their heads on benches. A cringe-worthy memory. "Though, I'm not mistress. I'm just Amur."

Mistress made her sound old. Merlin-Dumbledore-combined-age-old.

"I'm trying to find Tippin. I...have an apology to make, and something to give and ask him."

And heck, why not this fellow to? "And maybe I could ask you something too?" Other than that question right there and if he knew where Tippin was. "Or two things?" Or maybe more?

Awkward pats were the best. Chance was sort of used to them by now. Not a lot of people at Hogwarts were as hug giving as he was. But, this wasn't just anyone. This was someone he had grown up with BEFORE Hogwarts. It was like she was from another time. It was a treat.

So when she awkward patted him on the back from his hug, Chance burst out laughing. "Alright there?" he asked with a wink before his arm around her. She was rather sort so it was almost as if he had a arm holder instead of his arm being around her.

A house elf came by and Chance opened his mouth to ask for that delicious apple cobbler he was so prude on getting. "Why ye-"

He was cut off.

He cocked his eyebrow at Nicole. Obviously she had never tasted his food before. He almost starved this summer with all the back packing, and having to fend for himself. This was Hogwarts. This was food heaven. And this was the kitchens!

"Uh-" He said, still giving her a look before his face erupted into a smile, "I guess Ill get my own?" It was a question. Because he was going to make her eat it too.

mistressesss and Quirly
 

Arms protects cucumbers yes, no harm comes to the foods. "Tippin has green things yes Tippin does. Tippin makes for mistresses, mistresses sits and lookys." no no no, Tippin will be bads if he lets mistresses makes green foods.

"Quirly... cucumber greeny things, on breads?" Tippin likes Quirly, Quirly can helps Tippin makes the foods.

He went along with the act which meant that he actually had some mind to know Shakespeare. Not that Abbi read that in her free time pshhht like only nerds and romantic wannabees did that and the denying Abigail. "Not bad, Aegis," she was somewhat impressed. "Most boys wouldn't even know where that came from." He got hella points in her mind for that, any boy that took the time to read romantic things was a boy any girl would find worthy.

Just like that the elf was defied of his task. Not surprising, but Abs hoped Aegis knew she wanted no part in cooking today. She was exhausted after her jog and well baking was more of her strength over the cooking thing.

So with that Abbi sat again. "What are you making me then?" Could she at least know that much?

So they were still holding hands and facing one another inches apart, Aegis really enjoying this. "Abbi-Swan. I'm no simple Boy." He figured he had made that obvious a few times already, but hey. He liked surprising the Ladies with more tricks he had up his sleeve. He looked down back to the Elf to see if she was still there. Was she getting them the Bread? He wondered what Bread would be best to use for Abigail? Wheat? She seemed more like a Wheat Girl then a White? White was bad for you anyways. Always eat Wheat.

"I was thinking I'd make some French Toast for you." He gave her a nice smile, she would love this French Toast. He learned all he could of Cooking from his Grandmother.

DuckyLinJi
 

FOOD! She wanted food and she wanted it NOW! She had found out, after a REAAAALY long time how to enter the kitchen because… Well… There wasn’t exactly a information scroll hanging above the painting with instructions HOW to enter the kitchen so… Yeah… She had needed to wait and to try a few things before she had been able to open it! But now she was standing in the kitchen, looking at ALL the delicious food she saw before her! Ha, there was the food she was searching for and it was HERS! HAHAHA!

Kevin had been hungry and to wait till dinner started at the Great Hall was not an option. His stomach had been growling during his walk to the kitchens and after seeing a younger student enter through the portrait he took his chance and went in after her.

Ignoring the girl who was looking around in awe , the Gryffindor searched the room as well for any food he could eat before dinner. And his eyes rested on a cupcake that stood on a counter. He looked at the girl , who he now recognized as the girl from Diagon Alley with that stupid rat, was eyeing the food as well. No WAY! that food was HIS! "Don't even THINK about it" he warned and went over to the table.

All she needed was eggs and butter then she could get started baking these cookies.* Looking for the two seem like it took forever to find. She took extra butter and melted it for the popcorn.* She grabbed a kennel and dipped it into the melted butter. Holding it up to she turned to Dot and ask? "Is butter a carb?" Eh she didn't care carbs were like rebound boyfriends you can get rid of them fast.

She popped that kennel in her mouth, and ate and ate. Until her and Dot ate their way though the bag of popcorn. She smiled. "Yay. We can make enough cookies for the professors, and our friends." Nodding would that be a lot of cookies? She laugh a little picturing Dot taking notes in her brain. "Okay, so the first thing you do is beat the butter and brown sugar together."

She added both to bowl with fork she mashed it together. Not and stopping what she was doing to answer the question, she kept on "Yep. I'm fine." She managed ti crack a smile. Just mashing out her frustration.

The dark haired first year didn't had noticed that somebody had followed her and that that same 'somebody' was the boy she had met during the summer! Her rat Nabber had bitten him really hard because he had been STUPID enough to pet her rat while her rat was simply EVIL for others! Grinning because she remembered what happened she shook her head and walked toward the same cupcake as where that boy was heading to, not realizing it that she wanted to have the same thing but... Even IF she knew that he wanted to have that same cupcake, then still he was having some bad luck today because SHE had been here first and SHE wanted to have THAT cupcake!

The cupcake was looking delicious! It was a orange one with some colored dots on top of it and... She wanted it! No... That same cupcake was calling her name! It WANTED to be eaten by her! She almost could hear the cupcake, 'Cahira! Eat me! Come to me! I'm yours!' Grinning because she ALMOST, yes, almost wanted to call back to the cupcake that she was coming she placed her hand it, just BEFORE that boy was standing behind her, ready to grab the same cupcake! But... Because she had standing closer beside the table she was just faster! Ha! "It's mine, I was here fist!" Spoke Cahira while she heard what that boy was trying to say to her, ignoring him because she WANTED to have that same cupcake!

Mistress wants foodsies. Quirly want Mistress to have yummy foodsies made by Quirly but Master wants to make it for Mistress. No. Quirly would be bad to let Master make foodies. "Master and Mistress sit and Quirly make cookies."

Masters and Mistresses like cookies.

Tippin needs helps making cucumber things on bread. Quirly wants to help Tippin, yes she does. Holding favourite spatula Quirly joins Tippin as fast as her little feetsies can go. "Quirly helps." Quirly likes giving Tippin helps.

Before Kevin had even reached the table to grab the cupcake , the girl had been slightly faster and he watched in annoyance how she grabbed it. Eyes narrowing, Kevin glared at the first year who's name he still didn't know except for "Princess of the Snakes" and folded his arms over each other.

It was hers because she was there first? LAAAAME! Okay so, Kevin would have said that as well if he had been first but he wasn't and he WANTED that cupcake. And technically he could always get another one but he hated losing anything especially to a little brat like hers.

"You get the cupcake because you were here first?" Kevin scoffed. "I am older than you , brat, so show some respect and give me that cupcake" He unfolded one arm and stretched it out for her to place the cake in his hand.

"How did you call me?" Asked Cahira warningly, her eyes pointed dangerously at that STUPID arrogant boy before her! Nobody beside she self was calling her a brad! ONLY she was allowed to talk like that about HERSELF! "I'm NOT a brad, you STUPID dumb head! You're just a stupid fool who is thinking too good about himself but do you know the truth? You're just a stupid fool and nothing more!" Hissed Cahira angry while she did a step closer toward that STUPID kid and grinned suddenly evil at him...

"So... If you want to have it then... Take it!" Dared Cahira but just when she had said it she opened her mouth and licked over the cupcake, leaving a thick, glistening trail from her spit on the cupcake, showing it to that STUPID boy! "So... Do you still want to have it? Loser!" Hissed Cahira daringly!

Tippins and Mistress Amur
 

Ooooh mistress neededs helps. Toddles was rights. Toddles was happies. Mistress needs to finds Tippins. Toddles moves his little feetsies and wents to finds Tippins. Yes he dids. Toddles taps Tippins yes he dids and asks elf, "Tippins mistress Amur wants to speaks to yous." he tolds his fellow elf.

Mistress asks somethings of Toddles. Toddles wants to knows. Yes he does. "Whats mistress wants from Toddles?" Toddles is curious yes he is.

Benny and Toddles ^_^
 

"Here, have some sour patch kids, Benny,'' Adi was saying in a flat tone as he entered the Kitchen after tickling the pear out front. He had no idea why he was giving Benny some of the sour treats now but it was probably because it was because he remembered now. Things had made him distracted recently. Adi held out the candy to his bestie as he scanned the Kitchen, looking for a particular elf.

There the elf was. The Hufflepuff approached him, for once not really noticing the other elves around. Yep, Adi was still feeling down. "Hi, Toddles.'' He tilted his head wondered if the elf remembered him from the Slytherin Table at the Start of Term Feast.

Toddles, Tippin and Zanders :)
 

Amur felt as happy as Toddles looked. "Thank you!"

So this elf knew where to find Tippin! It made her search around the castle, much, much easier. Unless, of course, Tippin decided to disappear on her again. She wouldn't put it past the elf. It seemed a jittery habit of his.

Worrying her bottom lip as to how she would approach her questions so as not to elicit the same response she had last time, Amur followed Toddles. She stopped when he approached that familiar elf, not wanting to interrupt what looked like a rather busy day in the kitchen. A smile was given to the other students nearby as she clasped her hands behind her back. She could wait in line. There was no rush.

In the meantime, it seemed like she could practice her questions on Toddles. The more opinions she could get from the elves, the better her approach to the Professors would be. Yes, yes indeed. But how to word her questions?

She was about to ask her first when a hand on her shoulder turned her words into a surprise squeak, her body jerking up on her toes in surprise as her hands clamped over her mouth. Big, wide eyes turned up and up to....

"Zander!" Her hands moved away from her mouth as a mixture of embarrassment and interest her cheeks coloring and her wide eyes narrowing into to a curious peer.

Their project? This meant that Zander was going to help her every step of the way? She had thought that he would just speak to the Professors with her, but was he interested in helping her with all the leg work? Did he know what he was signing up for? Did he know he was practically offering to spend his evenings sitting in front of the common fireplace, knitting sweaters? She briefly considered telling him about the squirrels she had adopted, and asking him if he was sure he still wanted to help her, but she let the thought go almost instantly. More help was always welcome.

"I wanted to apologize to Tippin, and I figured I'd just do some...research." See? Not intentional. "I was just about to asked Toddles he if he gets cold in the castle."

She wanted to tap her finger against the side of her nose while giving Zander the 'top-cover-secret-mission-discretion' look, but she wasn't sure he'd understand the code of looks she used with her cousin. So, instead she gave him a smile and looked to Toddles. Did he get cold? That was a safe question to ask, right?

Aww, the little house elf was going to make them cucumber sandwiches! That was so cute. Sitting down at the counter, she watched as another elf joined him. So there were going to be two making sandwiches which meant more sandwiches!! Awesome. Lux was thrilled at that.

"Thank you both. Can we also have drinks?" she asked the elves, hoping that it wouldn't be an added inconvenience.

"Oh, i'm sorry i didn't know you had hearing problems!"

Was that kid actually calling him names? Kevin faked a loud yawn as she was ranting and when she was finished he looked down at her. "You done?" this kid was boring him.

Looking at the cupcake, Kevin smirked smugly when she finally came to her senses and gave it to him. Yes, he knew, it was dumb to fight over a cupcake but he had been bored out of his mind! So far, he had only managed to make the new Charms Professor angry and no one else! That was a big failure to him and it annoyed him to no end. So the fact that this kid brought some spark back made him happy. He had a weird kind of happiness...

....................
..............................DID SHE DO THAT?! SHE DID DIDN'T SHE?!

Looking absolutely disgusted, the Gryffindor looked from the cupcake to the girl and then back. "That was disgusting! why on earth did you do that?!" he narrowed his eyes once again. "You better make me another cupcake or i'll do something to that evil rat of yours" oh no, he hadn't forgotten about that. But to make it clear , he wouldn't actually do something to that rat, he liked animals. But if it could scare her? all the better~

Laughing loudly when she watched how his face changed she couldn't believe that that boy actually had thought that she was willingly to give her cupcake away! No way that she would give it to him so that he could eat it! There were enough things to eat here in the kitchen and she knew that if she really wanted to have another cupcake that she could ask for it but... She just didn't wanted to give it to him, simply to bully him and because HE was the one who wanted it!

But when he suddenly spoke about her rat Nabber she... Stared angry at him. "Do you really dare it to... threaten my rat?" Asked Cahira slowly while she stared at the boy, eyes narrowed and a cold tone in her voice.

Slowly raising her hand with the cupcake in it she stared at the boy... "You wanted the cupcake? HERE try to catch it!" Yelled Cahira angry, she threw the cupcake RIGHT at his face, now only with one thought in mind, she wanted humiliate him and make clear that he had crossed a line here! NOBODY threatened her rat Nabber! Her rat was evil, she knew that but... That STUPID boy was not in the position to hurt her rat!

Watching the flying cupcake she REALLY wished that he would hit the boy, right in his face and that he would learn a lesson with this! NEVER threaten HER rat!

Kevin & Cahira <3
 

Zhenya heard that there were cookies going in the kitchens? She was really excited for cookies, so she made her way to the kitchens and stood there, looking around.

"T..Toodles," she asked. Or… other elves with cookies?

Abby had made her way into the kitchen looking for something sweet to eat and she nodded to the older slytherin girl who looked as though she was looking for something sweet to eat as well

Toddles has milkies and blankies yes he does."

Toddles sees mistress (Jessiqua) askings for Toddles. Toddles curious and wants to knows what mistress wants from Toddles. "Mistress asks fors Toddles?" Toddles asks moving his little feetsies.

Zhenya turned to see a girl walk through to the kitchen. She had seen her before, but not met her before. "Hi, want food too?" she asked, then put a hand over her stomach. It had growled.

"Hi Toodles! I'm Zhenya, I remember you from the start of term feast." She paused, not quite sure what the elf wanted or needed to know? "I um… I was wondering if you had any cookies or cake or something I might be able to eat." Was Toodles allowed to hand out food?

Abby smiled at the girl and said "Yeah i do want food as well, mainly something sweet cause i have a craving for something sweet just now, I am Abby by the way"

Adi smiled at the elf. "How are you, Toddles? I've been meaning to come see you for a while but I've been busy.'' Busy with problems involving AJ. The thought of his girlfriend had Adi feeling annoyed and depressed again. But he shoved the emotions away. "You've been better since the day of the Feast, I hope?''

Did they need anything? "Tippin brought some really great cookies to the Hufflepuff common room the other day. Think I can have a few? And have you got anything sour for Benny here? He doesn't like sweets that much. Please."

"Aww thank you Toodles, that's very kind of you." She looked at the cakes on display and picked one out. It looked delicious. "Did you make this one?"

Abby smiled at Zhenya and said "It is a pleasure to meet you Zheyna, what year are you in?" Abby had seen Zheyna about the castle but this was the first time that she had spoken to her

Abby smiled at the elf and said "Thank you Toddles, these look delicious, did you make them yourself" Abby took a few of the cakes off of the tray and put them in her robe pockets

Nicole was bewildered. She was trying to be nice to the house elf, and she thought he would be grateful towards her. They could even be friends! However, she did not expect him to think he was being a bother. "Please don't be sorry," she did not know what to say that would not offend the house elf. "you were not bothering us, I just -" but before the girl could finish her sentence, the elf was walking away quickly. Quicker than she would have thought possible from someone so small.

She turned to Chance and shrugged. She had tried her best.

His laugh was contagious. Before she knew it, she was laughing along with her friend. "Yeah, I'm just... not a hugger," she admitted. Nicole liked hugs, but she did not give hugs much, because it felt weird. She did not even know if she was doing it correct this time. The girl who was average tall as a twelve-year-old was amazingly short compared to Chance, and she had ended up hugging his waist while he could barely touch her. Nevertheless, it was a friendly hug.

Nicole stifled a giggle. She could tell the boy was hungry and wanted food, but he could get it himself instead of ordering the little house elf around. She started getting worried when he cocked his eyebrow. Was he angry? She seriously needed to learn people's expressions. Nicole was glad when he gave her a smile after a moment, proving that he was not mad at her. "Sure. What are you going to get?" she asked.

The Gryffindor eyed the House Elf for a second, before thinking about the question the creature posed. This was the same House elf that had shown up to the party, right? The one that stole the chocolate frog. Still not over that, by the way. But there weren't anymore frogs here at the moment to even steal, so it was useless to bring that up again. As long as the elf learned it's lesson, you know? "Um, no Toddles I'm ok-- Actually... A glass of chocolate milk does sound really good," and then turning to Amur, "Would you like a glass too?" Sure it wouldn't be much trouble at all. It was only a glass.

Zander could tell there was a lot running in her mind just about now. It was rather aparrent with her wide eyes and the slight hesitation. "Oh, well that sounds like a great place to start," he smiled warmly at her. He wasn't really upset that she had started the project without him, only teasing. Merlin, he was starting to get more and more like Sophie Brown every day! Maybe her intelligence would rub off on him too and then he really wouldn't have to worry all that much about OWLs by the time they rolled around. That'd be great, please?

But he wasn't here to worry about OWLs, no he was here to... Actually, now that he had spotted Amur... He kind of forgot why he was here in the first place? It probably had to do with food though. Somehow, it always had to do with food. Then, turning to Toddles, he tilted his head curiously. Even Zander got cold in the castle sometimes! And he wore proper robes and everything. Especially in third year with the snowpocalypse. It was freezing. "Not even in the winter, Toddles?" It was a genuine question. Now Zander was even curious.

Amur's concern that she had possibly upset Zander turned to a smile at his acceptance and praise of her plan. She made a mental note to include him on her next plans, instead of running of without him. It seemed, they were a team in this now. At his offer for milk, Amur shook her head. "I'm good thanks."

There was no eating or drinking to be done when there was a task at hand. All attention forward, Gryffindor. Was this what it meant to be a lion? Rawr.

Her attention slipped back to Toddles as the house elf presented them with the most curious answer. Amur's brow wibbled in confusion. It honestly wasn't what she had expected. Not cold?

She looked the house elf up and down, top to bottom, rib to rib, head to toe. How could he not get cold? It wasn't like Hogwarts had heated stone hallways, or rooms. At least, not that she had yet noticed. And while milk and blankets were wonderful, it wasn't as if the elves could walk about bundled up in a blanket like a parka, sipping on a glass of milk. Or then, maybe they could.

Shifting her weight from one foot to another, Amur's brow pulled down into a full frown, the pricks of disheartened thought settling in. Perhaps it was as Zander had said. Perhaps what she thought best, wasn't best. All the questions she had been ready to ask started to scatter out of her mind. But then, Zander joined in. Another question, a good question. Her eyes came back up, looking first at Toddles and then at the Prefect, her resolve rekindling.

"Not even your feet, Toddles?"

If he wanted the cupcake? Kevin looked at the cupcake as she raised it up for him to grab. eww no! what was she? crazy? he did NOT want that disgusting cupcake she had just ...EWWW! "I don't want THAT one, i demand you to make a new o---"

-SPLAT!-

He hadn't had any time to react because within a second , the cupcake splashed against his face. When he realised what had happened, he wiped away bits of the frosting and in a flash he drew his wand but instead of pointing it at the girl , he pointed it at the food that was displayed at the other end of the kitchen and slashed his wand while saying an incantation out loud, making the food fly across the room.


But something went wrong though. His target had been that Slytherin Brat but instead of the food doing what he wanted it to do, it changed course in the middle of the air and ...went straight towards the Prefect...

And no, he didn't even try to stop it. It had been on accident but she HAD been interrupting his speech towards that girl.

The swan thing made not much sense to Abbi but if that was his signature thing then so be it, she was never one to judge...okay she was one to judge but not today apparently. "What..are you a duckling?" she asked and then giggled as she wondered if maybe that was why he kept saying swan all the time. You know she used to think she was a fairy, so maybe he thought that as childish as it may have seemed.

As for the food, french toast sounded good and so did cookies but look how adorable that elf was being. Abbi turned to Aegis to see if he would reject. "French toast sounds grand, with cinnamon and syrup? Or ice cream?" Gosh ice-cream...and cookies. Her attention went back to the elf and then returned to Aegis. Couldn't they like cook together or something, that way a win,win for all? Also that way she'd get french toast AND cookies. Hint. Hint. "I don't think Quirly is going to let you cook alone, just cook with him. You don't need to be solo." she eventually suggested aloud."I'll even join."..and maybe start a food fight, good thinking, yeah?

Puck and Kevin
 

Laughing out loud she looked at the boy who's name she still didn't knew and... To be honest, didn't wanted to know because she HATED him! But seeing how her cupcake, and yes, HER cupcake smashed right into his face, still covered with her spit she couldn’t hold herself back and she laughed so hart that she even was having some tears in her eyes! Oh boy! This was so funny and good to see! This boy, with his STUPID ego deserved this! Yes! Oh, she enjoyed it so much to see him like that? "So... was the cupcake tasting good? Especially with MY spit on top of it?" Laughed she again. Hmmm... With the added extra flavor it now was perfect!

But then... A prefect walked toward them? WHY!? STUPID prefect! Why was she meddling with something she didn't understood! She needed to go AWAY! It was HER fight with that stupid boy and she didn't needed anybody else to try to stop them! This boy was mentally insane and she didn't wanted to listen to the rubbish from that prefect girl that Kevin wasn't mean at all!

And then, just when she stared at the prefect, still laughing because of what happened to that drumhead she saw how he… Grabbed his wand and used a spell! “Crap!” Hissed Cahira, knowing that she didn’t knew that much spells to defend herself but… She was saved by the prefect! Because of her presence the spell changed it direction! Ha! So SHE was good for something! She could be her shield for all the food what was flying trough he air! But… “It’s war!” Shouted Cahira, looking at the boy, knowing that he had wanted to use magic against her and… She PUSHED her hand, right in a bow, filled with pudding and threw it ALL in the direction from the boy she hated so much!

mention of Puck as well~
 

Kind of forgetting that this whole food fight or whatever this was, was started because of that annoying Slytherin brat, Kevin only had his eyes on the food flying at top speed towards his Prefect. Well, he could now see if that badge was something she had earned for real because obviously being a Prefect it also meant that one had to be pretty good at using magic, right? So if she couldn't stop it, he would judge her skill.

But then that first year next to him started to shout something about it being war and Kevin turned his head towards her in a fast movement, causing his neck to hurt a bit and when he rubbed the area , he had to close his eyes when pudding was suddenly thrown in the direction of his face.

REALLY?! WHY ALWAYS HIS FACE?!

Oh she was going to pay for that! Knowing that his spellwork wasn't quite effective towards the person it was meant to be, Kevin looked around quickly, noticed a bowl of some kind of sauce and held it up above the girl's head. "Apologise or i'll dump this bowl of sauce over your head!"

"Ha, do you know what?" Shouted Cahira smiling and grinning at the boy who had been hit now not only by her cupcake with spit but also by her pudding... "You face already was ugly but now it isn't that difficult to look at you because I can't see you face at all! And... To be honest... My advice to you is to keep it that way! You're not that ugly anymore now!" She still grinned and laughed, ignoring the prefect who was still standing there and then... WHAT DID THAT BOY NOW? WHAT WAS HE DOING? He...

Waving with her hands, above her head to try to push it away she... Accidently pulled the sauce OVER herself!

"IEUWWWWW!" Shrieked Cahira like a true little girl while the sauce dripped all over her, her face, her hair, her school uniform! She was completely wet! Still screaming, but this time from the anger she stepped backwards, not realizing that table was standing behind her with on top of it a REALLY large stockpot on top of it, filled with soup and... That same table FELL to the ground and the soup... Let's say that the WHOLE floor now was covered with it! Angry screaming because that boy had made a mess from her hair, her face AND her clothes she ran toward him! She tried to push him to the ground by placing both her hands to his arms, and yes, she wasn't big enough to push him by his shoulder and she tried to let him fall to the ground and IN the pool of soup!

She did NOT just insult his face! Yes, he was at that age where acne started but that was completely NORMAL! plus when they had that activity with Professor Culloden to make their own potions he would make one to stop and prevent it. "Don't you dare say something about my face you rat!" he shouted back at her. His face was a pretty sensitive subject concidering that he had found out that other girls with REAL taste had found him pretty good looking. HA

As he held the bowl over the girl's head, Kevin waited for her to apologize but instead she flailed her arms above her had, knocking the bowl over causing the sauce to spill over her head. She was SUCH an IDIOT! Kevin laughed out loud as the girl stepped back and caused a large stockpot to fall over and he jumped backwards in case he got hit as well.

Which had been a mistake because the moment he jumped, he slipped on the soup at the moment the girl had grabbed his arm causing him to fall down. He didn't think about falling down alone though, because he reached for the first thing that his hand could grab which was her hair.

"Don't touch my HAIR!" Yelled she angry while she tried to punch that STUPID boy in is face in a desperate attempt to free herself and to protect her hair! "NEVER. TOUCH. THE. HAIR. FROM. A. GIRL!" shouted Cahira but while she tried to push the boy away she... Lost her balance! The boy had grabbed her while he fell to the ground and THAT she didn't had expected! The floor was slippery and the boy before her was way stronger than she was and... Yeah... She fell to the ground! Right beside the boy! "What have you done! You STUPID Dum head!" Yelled Cahira and at that same time she splashed some soup in the direction from the boy, looking around her for something else she could grab and what she could throw at him! Seeing how a really delicious looking cake stood not far away she tried to stand up again and GRABBED the cake before she ran back to the boy!

"TAKE THIS!" Shouted Cahira while she lifted the cake up in her arms, showing the boy what she wanted to do and laughing like a maniac!

Just not a hugger? MMhmmm Chance definitely believed that. She should feel more comfortable with him and his hugs since they did practically grow up together except for the past 4 years. "Well, I will just make you love my hugs!" Chance said with a grin and a nudge.

Toddles the elf had already left so Chance was out of luck with getting the elf t make him some apple cobbler. He looked around at all the items that were displayed before them. It was an abundance of stuff. Every ingredient possible. Only problem was, Chance couldn't cook work a lick.

"Um," Chance said, still peering at all the things before him. It was a bit overwhelming. Spotting a bowl and some cereal, Chance grabbed them. "Im going to play it safe and get the ever famous, cereal. It is something I cant mess up. Its not apple cobbler but it'll do!"

"There's plenty more where that came from, Benny.'' The hufflepuff had no idea why he just didn't give his bestie all the sour candy he had brought for him in one go. Heh.

"I'm glad you are,'' Adi said to Toddles, still smiling. But why was the elf squirming like that? Adi wondered if he was making him uncomfortable. Woops. It wasn't his intention. Maybe he should stick to the topic of food.

Oh! So a fresh batch of cookies was being made? This was great. All the had to do was wait now, yes? And which elf was Quirly? So many House elves were around. Anyway... "Thanks, Toddles. We'll wait for them.'' Since Benny also wanted cookies.

"See anywhere we can sit, Benny?" So Adi could just sit and nom on cookies while watching the elves work... and hopefully get his mind off AJ.

Duckling? What was she on about? "Ummm no." That was an odd question to even bring up? "No, if anything I'd be more like a Majestic Condor." He finally released his hands from hers and Spread-Eagled or more in this case Spread-Condored his Arms out wide.

What no!! Aegis had offered to make Food for Abbi first, and she wanted French Toast! "We can make it Together, but we make her French Toast." Aegis scowled at the House Elf. Surely if he demanded it enough Quirley would cave and do as he told her to. So he looked down at her once more. "Quirley will Fetch, me the Bread and we can start Cooking." Yes, she will.

sorry for her <3
 

THERE WAS FOOD IN HER HAIR, in her HAIR again for a second term in a row! Puck had been walking AWAY why? WHY had she been hit she glanced and looked at the two of them maybe she kind of looked like a seething angry beast because well she had been clean.

“STOP with the yelling please,” Puck said as she glared at the slytherbrat and just huffed and glared at the girl. Obviously there was tension with these two it was palpable.

“Even think about dropping that on him and so help me I will send a Patronus to Professor’s Bellaire and Flamsteed and maybe even Headmistress Truebridge this instant.” She glanced between Kevin and Cahira and stood there firmly. Really, she would have been nicer to the girl and to Kevin right then if they had only kept it…civil and not made a giant mess of the kitchen. Her wand was already out, and pointing in front of her ready to cast the spell at a moment’s notice.

“Expecto…” she waited eying Cahira and Kevin in turn as if edging them on and daring them to even try to make more of a mess. Because really they didn't need to lose more points? Right? She would even help clean their mess if they were good little minions and actually stopped fighting for a moment.

Still standing with the cake in her hands she slowly turned around to the prefect girl she already had forgotten because she was so NOOOOOT important to her! And... She smiled cold at the other girl. "Don't you dare to talk to me like that!" Hissed Cahira cold. "If you're thinking that I'm afraid of you JUST because of your badge and that I will respect you because of that then you're wrong! You're just a stupid Gryffindor like THAT stupid boy before me! So be smart and GO AWAY!" shouted Cahira, not afraid to get more in trouble because they already WERE in trouble!

Oh no she didn’t. Puck raised her eyebrow at Cahira, and flicked her wand toward the cake in her hand momentarily. “Finite!!” She mentally cast as she ended the initial spell, and with an almost imperceptible flick of the wand she cast a secondary spell on the cake and the slytherbrat’s hand. “Epoximise!” she cast the sticking charm on her hands which would hopefully hit and cause the girl’s hands to stick to the cake like it was simply an epoxycake.

“Now, I don’t expect you to fear me I expect that if you are smart Professor Bellaire will scare you…after all, she is your head of house.” She glared the girl down and stood tall at her 6’ stature. “And I am not really like Kevin, I was a hat-stall. I was nearly a Slytherin.” She admitted with a smirk. Please. Wasn’t it obvious enough?

“Now, that cake is not going to be dropped on anyone. The house elves don’t have enough time to make more food for desert again” she snappishly informed the girl. “AND I was leaving to find food before Kevin here smacked me with flying food,” she informed but the mess! It was so bad. Okay…would the girl be weirded out? Probably but she had to do it. Another wand flick “scourgify” she no longer had stuff on her shirt…there Puck was nice. Cleaning someone else off might have been crazy but it was a nice gesture…

She did not even know what was wrong with her. Nicole had known Chance for years now, but she was not completely comfortable around him. It could be because they were friends when she was a little girl who did not care about guys at all, but now she was soon-to-be thirteen and things had changed. For one thing, Chance was tall. And cool. And cute - she did not say that. Wait, did that mean he was going to give more hugs in the future? Nicole did not know how to feel about that, but she still smiled back. "I'm already starting to like it," she said, being truthful about her feelings for once.

Nicole pulled out the oatmeal cookie she had stored inside her pocket a moment ago, and took a bite out of it. She saw her friend looking around the kitchen at the food and waited for him to make his decision. From her first couple of weeks at Hogwarts, she had learned that food at Hogwarts was better than great. She would look up a descriptive word for that later on. The girl could bet even cereal at this school was heavenly... oh, look! Chance went for cereal. "I cannot agree more with that sentence, unless spilling milk all over counts as messing up," she laughed and chipped off a part of her cookie, offering it to the boy. "Here you go, cookie works well with cereal."

The mention of apple cobbler made her hungry. Her mother's apple cobblers were the best. Uneasily, Nicole got rid of the thought of her family, as a new idea popped up in her mind. "Chance, do you want to make an actual apple cobbler on our own?" she asked with a gleam in her green eyes. It would be a fun adventure.

Cahira and Puck
 

Kevin laughed , out loud when the girl fell down in the pool of soup next to him because his strategy of taking her down had worked. As he watched the girl get up and grab a cake and raised it above his head, Kevin pointed his wand at her, ready to use the protego spell when she dropped it on top of him.

But nothing happened and instead he saw the Prefect, covered with food and looking angry. He now laughed at her because come on! it was funny! And then the Slytherin Brat was yelling again, at the Prefect. He had to admit, she had guts. "YA! I can handle the situation by myself! I don't need a stupid Prefect to take care of this!" Had he just turned against his own Prefect, yep. Kevin logic. But that didn't mean that he was for the Slytherin Brat by the way.

Puck, Kevin, Cahira
 

Tea. That's what Healer Murdoch needed right now. A nice hot cup of tea. Tea that against her better judgement she was going to have to get from the kitchen since her own supplies had been depleted. She would just make sure she made it herself. No need in bothering the house elves since they would be busy making dinner.

As she entered the kitchen she was mentally making a note of things she would have to bring back with her the next time she made a trip home. Her thoughts were interrupted though when she heard a whole lot of commotion going on.

HOLY MOTHER OF MERLIN!

It seems as if Cece had just walked in on nothing more than a food fight. And of course there just had to be a Slytherin student involved in it. Cece only looked around for a couple of seconds before making it known that she was standing there. And yes, she heard you Mr. Hirase.

"WHAT IS GOING ON IN HERE?!" Someone better answer her quick. "And you will both (Puck and Kevin) lower your wands immediately!" Honestly, what is it with students from other houses always pulling their wands on the Slytherins?

Puck, Kevin, The1HBIC
 

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CAKE IN HER HAND!?
She just had wanted to drop it on Kevin's head, then she realized that she couldn't! Looking at the Prefect she was SOOO angry! How did she DARED to do this to her? Moving and waving with her hand in a attempt to get away from the cake she stared furious ahead of her! She knew that it was useless to remove the cake without a spell but... SHE DIDN'T KNEW HOW TO USE THOSE STUPID SPELLS! She only knew the spells she had learned during her FIRST lesson and that was all! But still, both the prefect and THAT STUPID boy from Gryffindor were pointing there wands at her? Were they that stupid?! Did they really expected her to attack them with magic while she was still a first year and only in her FIRST week here at the school?! STUPID!

Turning around because she wanted to push the cake what was now stick to her her hand RIGHT into the face from the prefect she saw... How her Head of house entered the kitchen! And the first thing she did when she saw that the door was opened was... Lowering her cake and she swallowed! NOW she really needed to think about a way to get out of trouble and to convince her head of house that she was innocent!

"Miss Murdoch!" Spoke Cahira suddenly with a shaking voice and she even tried to fake some fear for the other two Gryffindors! "That boy attacked me with magic and because I still don't know how to use magic I tried to distract him by throwing things at him in a attempt to run away but then that Prefect came and made everything worse!" Lied Cahira, sounding desperate and hoping that her head of house would believe in her lie!

you all <3
 

Murdoch? who was ............oh. Kevin lowered his wand but did not put it away. He got up from the floor and was about to say something when the slytherin brat spoke up. Was she...was she CRYING?!

Oh no no NO! he did NOT believe that, she was OBVIOUSLY faking that! "She's lying! SHE started it , i only asked for a cupcake and she THREW it at my face!" he yelled and glared at the girl. He would leave the exact details of the spit cupcake out because that was nasty. Really nasty. "I only DEFENDED myself!" ...yeah that might have been a lie because he had also, threadened and called her names ....and he had accidentally thrown various types of food at Puck but that was besides the point. SHE WAS LYING!

He sounded confused? But if she was a swan..well or maybe did she have it wrong??? Now she *looked* confused. A Magestic Condor? Thankfully she knew her animals fairly well or she'd had never known that bird to be a vulture type bird. "Of all birds, that? Not an eagle?" she asked and giggled once more as that was unexpected. "Mind you, I'd not be a bird if I could have wings I'd be a fairy."
Embarassing? Maybe. Hey she had loved fairies since she could ever remember, though.

THANK YOU FINALLY. FOOD COULD BE MADE NOW.

"What am I to do?" Something please. She neared all the cooking things. "Where'd you even learn to cook anyways?" Bart hadn't known how to do much baking without instructions; so surely not from him. Perhaps from his own mother?

Domino opened a door and peaked inside. A kitchen! The aroma of delicious food came to her nose.
"Smells good" she said and watched curiously as all the house elves worked. She always had a soft spot for elves.

*replies a million years late*
 

Eden took that as...don't help. So Eden just bowed her head at the elf and smiled over at Lux as she replied. "Yes--We'll watch you make us some yummy sandwiches--and drink would be nice, yes--" That was a good touch.

You couldn't EAT without also DRINK, yeah?

Brushing her brown hair behind her ears with her fingers, Eden smiled and bounced on the balls of her feet. "Yes--bread--thanks--" she had SUCH faith in the elves' cooking/making foods ability that she was more excited to try one of these...weird things now.

Yep.

She shot a look at Lux as if saying, 'WE HIT THE JACKPOT' because now they could just relax. And make friends with the elves. Who were SUPER nice, yeah?

Toddles helps mistresses. Yes Toddles does. Mistress asks Toddles makes cakies himselfs. Toddles shooks his head. Yes Toddles does. "Toddles no makies himselfs mistress. Toddles gets helps from elves.." he said looking at Tippin and Quirly. "We works togethers." he nodded his little head. "Does mistress likes cakies?" Toddles asks with his big brown eyes.

Toddles hears mistress asks same thing. Toddles shakes his head. "Toddles nots makes them. Toddles works with elves."

"Toddles feels sorries mistress.." Toddles not causing troubles for mistress. Toddles brings somethings for mistress. Toddles goes to kitchens yes he does. Toddles be's good elf, Toddles brings mistress cakes and cookies. Toddles hopes she likes them. "Toddles brings you somethings mistress."

Toddles likes milkies. Toddles sees chocolate milkies. Toddles gets this for master. Yes he does. "Milkies for master." Toddles holds milkies to master.

Masters asks things of Toddles. Toddles looks towards master. Master wants cookies? Toddles gets things for masters. Toddles sees cookies and gives master cookies yes Toddles does. "Cookies master.." he bowed his little head toward the studentesies.

"Toddles alreadies gives master cookies." Toddles points his little finger to the cookies by masters plate. "Toddles likes servings masters. Yes Toddles does. Masters wants milkies?" Toddles asks yes Toddles does.


Toddles hears things. Toddles sees head mistress (Madame Murdoch) comes to kitchens. What's mistress doings here's? She yellings at studenties. Bad studenties. Studenties shalls nots fights.

Already given him...? Adi looked around. Heh. Yes, indeed the Elf had. Woops. "Sorry. I'm a little distracted.'' Little was an understatement, big time. "Thank you. And yes, please, if it's no trouble, milk's fine.''

Plate in hand, the Hufflepuff moved to go take a seat at the counter, probably feeling worse than he had when he entered the kitchen. He took a bite out of one of his cookies, watching the happenings in the kitchen but not truly registering everything.

One cookie down... more to go. It took Adi a moment to realise that Benny was also seated at the counter. Adi nommed on his second cookie watching the elves. "Hey, Benny, think they'd have scones?" Hey, a growing dude's got to eat, yeah? That's when Adi realised what he said. "I didn't mean to remind you of the Hatter thing,'' he said quickly, a piece of cookie in his hand mind way to his mouth. "You just reminded me how much I like those things as a kid .''

But despite how he was feeling, the hufflepuff couldn't resist a joke. ''You think house elves like tea parties? Because here would be an awesome place to have one.''

Lots be going on in kitchens today! Many studentsies and Mistress Murdoch in big tizzy! Tinka liked to stay out of the way of commotions like this. She shook her big elfsy ears, unhappy with it all.

But a Slytherin student she had never seen before soon walked in. "Hello, miss! Welcome to Hogwarts kitchen, where humble little elfsies live and work. Can Tinka help miss with something today?"

For Tinka

Domino looked at the little elf with sympathy. She wondered if the elf got paid anything. Even if its as little as food? She shook her head shaking the thought off.
"It sure is busy in here," domino said to the elf.
She wanted to give the elf a hug. But decided against it.
She looked around. What could the little elf do that wasn't already being done?
"Maybe I should come back at another time huh?" She said to the elf.

*la la la totally on a different TL from all the fighting madness, yeah?*
 

Ah, you know maybe this one wasn't all that bad. They'd just gotten off on the wrong foot was all. The Gryffindor smiled as Toddles returned with his chocolate milk in hand and took a huge sip of it before looking down to say a "Thank you, Toddles." Mhm. It was good too. Hogwarts always did it right. Made coming back to the school so much easier, y'know? EXCEPT WAIT A MINUTE WHAT THE HECK WAS TODDLES DOING NOW!? :whaa:

"Oi! Toddles, what are you looking for?!" he jumped back in surprise.... -_____- Was the elf trying to find chocolate frogs to steal again? Was one not enough for him?? Hmph. Okay, okay despite their project, Zander was not fond of this elf. The other ones were great. But this one was a chocolate thief okay? And this confirmed it. But he wasn't one to get too angry easily. Just annoyed. Just very annoyed.

SPOILER!!: Amuuuur<3 la la la also Toddles though not quoted

There was no eating or drinking to be done when there was a task at hand. All attention forward, Gryffindor. Was this what it meant to be a lion? Rawr. Her attention slipped back to Toddles as the house elf presented them with the most curious answer. Amur's brow wibbled in confusion. It honestly wasn't what she had expected. Not cold? She looked the house elf up and down, top to bottom, rib to rib, head to toe. How could he not get cold? It wasn't like Hogwarts had heated stone hallways, or rooms. At least, not that she had yet noticed. And while milk and blankets were wonderful, it wasn't as if the elves could walk about bundled up in a blanket like a parka, sipping on a glass of milk. Or then, maybe they could. Shifting her weight from one foot to another, Amur's brow pulled down into a full frown, the pricks of disheartened thought settling in. Perhaps it was as Zander had said. Perhaps what she thought best, wasn't best. All the questions she had been ready to ask started to scatter out of her mind. But then, Zander joined in. Another question, a good question. Her eyes came back up, looking first at Toddles and then at the Prefect, her resolve rekindling. "Not even your feet, Toddles?"

Zander lifted a brow to inquire if she was sure, but oh. She probably didn't even come down here for anything to eat anyways. This was just another stop on her mission, huh? So he didn't say much else, instead opting to take a long sip of his drink instead. Mhm. It was really good chocolate milk. Might have to even go for another glass after this one was done.

He gave Amur a reassuring smile as she looked a bit unsure of herself now. Though, when she asked her next question it looked like she was starting to regain some of the confidence began with. Good. That was important, y'know? Even though Zander wasn't really the most confident Prefect of the bunch, it was important that he could help play part in building confidence in his younger house mates. That's what Prefect really meant after all, right? Aside from the constant rounds and the fact that you weren't supposed to get detention... Puck seemed to overlook that one rule, though... Didn't she? It was all good though. Sort of.

Nodding at her question, to show that he thought it was a good one, he looked back over to the elf. Oh, so he did get cold feet. Well, that was good to know, right Amur? It was like her little plan finally had a kickstarter. "Here that Amur? His feet get cold," and he gave her a small knowing smile too.

Nicole heard the familiar voice again from nearby. It was the house elf who who tried to help them just now. She could not believe how mean she had been to him. "Hi... Toddles," she said, assuming that was his name. She thought about what she could say that would not make him feel bad, when he went into the kitchens.

Soon, Toddles returned. Nicole paused her thinking to look at the food he had brought, her eyes wide. She was not getting used to seeing so much baked goods at once; her family was poor, and one cookie per person was the best she could get. She restrained from reaching forward to take a piece of cake greedily. "Aww, thank you," she said. "I really like them, did you bake them yourself?" she asked, picking up a chocolate chip cookie. The girl gestured to Chance to have some food as well.

Tinka nodded her head, up and down up and down. "Studentsies like visiting elfsies and getting snacky-poo! Maybe miss want something to eat?" Little elfsy eyes grew large and bright in anticipation. "Miss be free to leave if miss want to, but miss be happy to stay!"

Quirly looks back and forth between Master and Mistress. "Mistress be of wanting french toasties?" Quirly knows where there is bread, so she runs off as quickly as her feetsies can to get it. "Here be the bread!" she squeaks out while holding it out.

Mistresses be wanting a drink while watching Quirly and Tippin make cucumbers on breads. Nodding, Quirly will gladly get them something. "What be Mistresses wanting to drinks?"
