The Kitchens

First topic message reminder :

Ruin walked down the corridor towards the secret entrance to the kitchens. When he reached the familiar portrait, he tickled the pear and slipped into the warmth offered by constant activity in the busy room. He was greeted with the normal kindness that the house elves offer however he dismissed them and moved to sit by the roaring fire. He accepted an offered drink and a plate of sandwiches before he turned back to the fire and pulled out his potions book.

He began to read over the book, and started on an essay that he was assigned. Ruin occasionally asked for more to drink, concentrating solely on his essay.

She lets out a light sigh and shrugs. "Just keep in mind that you wouldn't be near as privileged here if it weren't for these guys.'

''What, us? We're not much to brag about!'' He puts a hand on his chest and blinks innocently.

She rolls her eyes playfully with a smile on her face. "No. The house elves, silly"

She laughs and kicks her feet up on his lap. "Sometimes I just wonder about you," she smirks then looks at the fire beginning to die down. "Incendio," she points her wand at the fireplace, the new flames casting sharp shadows across her face.

Larkin brings her legs up and sits criss cross on the counter. He finishes her water and takes another sandwich eating it slowly.

She nudges Eric with her shoe, not quite sure what to do. "So..." she smiles and leans into her seat.

Jonny sits down at the fire thinking' why are eric acting so strange' because jonny and eric could almost read eachother minds. 'is it something going on between you? No that is rubbish' he thought

''So what?'' He smiles and tickles her under her feet.

She jerks her foot away laughing. "Hi Jonny! Oh, right, I already said that," she smiles and rolls over. She puts her face in a pillow, "I either need sleep or coffee..."

Larkin slips off the counter and walks over to sit beside Johnny. "Whats up? You look a little confused."

She lifts her head up a bit, "I'm just gonna take a nap." Her head drops and she almost instantly falls asleep.

"just thinking" he laughs "you?"

She opens her eyes and raises her eyebrows, "Thinking? About what?" She sits up and calls over a house elf, asking it for coffee. She blinks her eyes and almost falls asleep but jerks her head back, just as a house elf arrives with her coffee. She takes it, thanking the house elf, and takes a few sips.

"many things" he laughs "but It's not important" he sais politely

She tilts her head and her curiosity takes over, "but what are you thinking about? I'm your friend right? Friends trust friends." She smiles sweetly, trying to get her way, then takes a few more sips of coffee.

"it's about you and eric.. are.." he was not shure how to put it " are you two...mm" he doesnt want to upset her

She looks at him like he's insane and tilts her head. "If me and Eric are mm?" she looks entirely confused, "Is that some sort of Durmstrang slang?" (OoC: Durmstrang slang... hey that rhymes! XD)

Larkin brought her knees to her chest and looked over at Johnny and then to the other two. "You're being pretty vague right now." she chuckled lightly.

"I wonder if you are a couple.. dont be mad at me for wondering" he sais carefully

Apollonius walked into the kitchen apparently at the perfect moment. 'Oh, what's this? Are our two delicious Ravenclaws paramours?'

She eyes Jonny and Apollo looking rather shocked, "Oh look! I'm out of coffee, time for another nap!" She plunges down and hides her face in a pillow, about to bite it. "Mad... if I was?" she mutters through the pillow towards Jonny. "Not together," she adds.

Eric had nodded off, bobbing his head and breathing deeply.

She dares to take a glance up and sees Eric sleeping. 'You... you idiot!' she thinks, 'You should be here saying we're not together.' She lays her head down slow, and smiles up at the people around her then closes her eyes. "I need sleep," she mumbles sleepily.

"did I say something wrong?"

She opens her eyes and looks at him, "Not really. I'm just tired, haven't got much sleep." She gives him a reassuring smile and conjures up a blanket, snuggling up under it.
