| | |  Fruit Bowl
 Out of all of the paintings hanging on the walls of the basement corridor, the one depicting a silver fruitbowl is an easy favourite for some of those here at Hogwarts. While many may think that there is nothing special about this particular painting, those who are well-informed about its purpose know what lies beyond. Past this painting is where all of the food you stuff in your mouth three or more times a day is made.
If you're in the need of second breakfast, elevenses, or a mid-afternoon snack, then this is the place to be. If you are someone who knows this particular castle secret, you know those bananas and grapes aren't there just to make your mouth water and your stomach rumble. Simply reach out your hand and tickle the delicious-looking pear in the corner. After it has a squirming fit and laughs, it will transform into a green door-knob and grant you access to the grand Hogwarts kitchen where anything you desire can be whipped up in no time at all.

The longer Juliette stared at the painting, the hungrier she got. Not that she was craving fruit - her mother sent her enough of that, thank you very much - but because she wanted a delicious chocolate cake with jelly slugs in the middle. Her mother had told her to go to this particular painting whenever she was craving something outside of meal hours but didn't tell her what exactly she was supposed to do.
Did it have a password like to the common room? Or maybe she could just try to rattle the painting around? That didn't seem likely. So she continued to stare at the bowl of fruit. Juliette could hear it mocking her.
"I just want some chocolate cake with jelly slugs! OPEN UP!" she shouted at it. And then she folded her arms across her chest for good measure. YEAH. Take that attitude, you bowl of fruit and give her some food.

Take that attitude, you bowl of fruit and give her some food. Bernadette hadn't yet terrorized er, visited a SINGLE ELF this year, and everyone knew that elves being real was one of her most FAVORITE things about the wizarding world. So here she was, skipping down to Hufflepuff territory to see her house elves.
Oh for the love of Merlinnnn, Bernie thought as she slowed to a stop, it's that girl from the dorm. Riddle, er, Zamboni, er, whatever her name is. Bernie eyed her, from behind of course, as she YELLED at the painting. How rude! "That's NOT how you do it, JULIA," Bernie informed her L O U D L Y. To be heard over her shouting, of course. "You have to ----"
Y'know what? Never mind. She crossed her arms and leaned up against the wall like she was sooOOOOOOOOoooooooo much cooler than Zoombeanie. She could wait to see her elves, especially IF they heard this maniac. It might make them POISON the FOOD or something.

Juliette was getting frustrated with this painting. Magic was cool and all but could this painting just give her what she wanted already?! She was ready to shout yet again at the bowl of fruit, when she heard someone say her name... incorrectly. Frowning, she looked at the girl who was leaning against the wall.
Oh.
It was that girl from some of her classes and her house or whatever. But why was she leaning against the wall? Was that how you got inside? Frowning, she uncrossed her arms and copied the girl. She leaned against the wall on the other side of the painting. "So why are we doing this? Is it gonna give me cake now, Jellybelly?"
Was that the girl's name? She couldn't remember nor did she care. Her number one priority was that cake. Names and other formalities could come after. Including correcting this girl who called her Julia. Did she even look like a Julia?!

Also, DID Bernie have a jelly belly?!?! She poked at her own stomach with a frown and then moved forward, pushing off the wall when the girl finally got out of the way.
She paused right in front of the fruit portrait and shot her housemate a LOOK. "If I help you get in there, will you promise to be NICER to the elves? They get scared easily. And I want some chocolate cake too." Now that Julia had put this idea in her head, she was determined to have some too.
Bernie, like the patient Muggle Studies TA she was, would wait for a response.

Bernie, like the patient Muggle Studies TA she was, would wait for a response. Why on earth was this girl rubbing her forehead? Was she breaking out or something? Juliette's mum had told her about the terrible things people called acne. Those were annoying little buggers on the forehead. But since she didn't know this girl properly, Juliette wasn't going to ask about the forehead or the tummy poke. She had manners like that, y'know?
BUT WHAT WAS THAT LOOK?!
Rude.
Juliette wrinkled her nose. "I'd never be mean to the elves and I haven't been mean to them at all." Had she been rude towards the elves? No. She was simply shouting at a painting of fruit in a bowl. Which was completely normal. "Do you want chocolate cake with jelly slugs in the center? They're the new chocolate frogs." It was true because she had read it in a magazine somewhere, possibly. Or perhaps she had made it up in her sleep. She'd have to consult Eveline about it later. Ooooh, Juliette was bouncing with excitement. Soon she would have her cake!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmyeah, Bernie was SOOOooOOOOOo much more mature than this Julia child, y'know? If only there were witnesses around to compare the two oddly alike Gryffindors to each other.
She brightened slightly at the description of THE EXACT CAKE that Julia wanted, and gave her a big nod. "Yes. That sounds DELICIOUS." EVEN THOUGH chocolate frogs were still #1 in Bernie's heart, she would be cheating on them today for a slice of this cake.
So. Ahem. Bernie rolled up her sleeves with a BIG FLOURISH and then promptly tickled the pair in the painting. The pear gave its usual giggle giggle, wobble wobble, and then turned into a handle. She gave the handle a turn and opened the portrait (now door) into the kitchen.
"Et voilà!" Bernie had learned SOOOOOOOooooooooooo much French in France her first year! Like wow. Julia should be SO IMPRESSED right now that she should be willing to give Bernie HALF of her chocolate-slug cake.

Catherine knew exactly where she wanted her last photograph of Newt Scamander to be.
The only problem was the time it took her to go from one extreme end of the Castle to the other. But then again, she had scheduled that day to get this assignment done, so it wasn't like she was wasting her time anyway.
The second year immediately got the cardboard Scamander out of her bag when she arrived by the painting and placed it on the floor. Ugh, the ridiculous disproportion again making her roll her eyes and shake her head.
Catherine quickly took a photograph of Newt by the fruit bowl and put the camera back in her bag. She looked at the piece of cardboard for a second or two before pulling her parchment and quill out.
Quote:
. Newt felt very hungry at the end of a hard day's work
. He finished doing all the work after hours, so he decided to go into the kitchen for a snack
. He was glad he didn't get in trouble for it that day
Putting her parchment, quill and cutout back in her bag, Catherine turned on her heels and went back up to her Common Room to plan her presentation.
