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 walks in looking rather cold as she bends down to talk to a house elf, "Swiss hot chocolate? The original kind." She sits down on the floor, her knees pressed against her body and leaning against the wall. She then looks back at the house elf beginning to make the hot chocolate and quickly adds, "Please and, um, thank you."

Apollonius walked in and pressed a house elf's nose. 'Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.'

(OoC: w00t Star Trekage haha)

She looks up and takes her hot chocolate from the house elf and stands up, "Hi Apollo. Uhm, how are you?" She rocks on her feet still a little cold. (OoC: I love star trek xD

'Oh hello. I didn't see you there. When I'm after my cup of tea I don't notice anything until I've got it.' He said smiling. 'I'm good thanks, and you?'

(OoC: Me too )

She giggles a little, "I'm good other than the fact that that I'm pretty cold." She takes a sip of her hot chocolate and almost spits it out. "Oh my god, that's hot!" she shakes her head and leans against the wall again only standing up this time.

'Too cold, too hot... entropy is your friend.' Laughed Apollonius. 'Maybe the elves need it cold in here with all the running about they do? I don't know' Apollonius mumbled a little self-consciously.

"Oh, I don't really know but I was outside earlier. It was a little cold out there," she shrugs while holding back a laugh quite well. She pulls out her wand but ends up putting it back away, "Hmm. Can't think of a spell that cools things down." She blows on her hot chocolate and takes a small sip nodding, "Somewhat better."

Apollonius took out his wand. He loved the cold, so he'd learned this one quite early on. 'Like this: frigesco!... try it now.' He finished with a smile

She smiles, "Thanks Apollo." She takes a sip and nods. "It's perfect," she looks down at the same house elf and adds, "and not too hot next time. No matter how cold I look."

Eric walks up to a portrait he had noticed when he walked down to the Hufflepuff common room entrance. Now that he saw it full on, he saw it was a big portrait of fruit. He ran his hand along it. When he had touched the pear, it squirmed and turned into a doorknob. He was intruiged and opened the 'door'. What he saw filled him with awe. There was hundreds of house elves there and the room itself was as big as the great hall. There was a giant roaring fireplace there and several students around, including Apollonius and Carly. It appeared he was in the Kitchens! His mouth was open as he took it all in.

She looks up from the house elf and grins. "Oh hi Eric!" she says taking a few more sips of her hot chocolate. She notices his face and giggles, "Amazing isn't it?"

''Amazing indeed!'' He grins back at her and strolls over. ''Hey Apollo.'' He nods to him in greeting. ''So, how did you get to know about this place?''

"Well actually my mom told me. She said to come here for hot chocolate if I wanted some," she takes a few last sips of hot chocolate. "Hey!" she shouts at a house elf and hands it her empty mug, "Can you, um, take this?"

He watches as the elf takes the mug and scurries off. He calls another house elf and said ''Hey there! Yeah, erm, could I get a plate of belgian chocolate? Thanks!'' He smiled at the elf as he ran off. ''Huh, nice guys! I just got here as you saw. Just brushed the pear and it turned into a doorknob. It's all so... overwhelming!'' He gestures around him as he sais it.

Jonny walked down the corridors and saw a portrait. He walked right to it and touched a pear. Suddenly the pear turned to a doorknob. So he walked into the portrait. there he saw Carly, Eric and Apollo and a bunch of house elves.
"Hello guys" he grinned "what is this place?" he asked of surprice

''Oh, hey Jonny! This is the Kitchen. The food here's gotta come from somewhere, right?'' He smiled and gestured to all the house elves and stoves, ovens and cooking pots.

"Yeah, guess so. But how is it just appearing right in front of us in the great hall?" he asked.

''Don't ask me, I just got here!'' He shrugged.

"yeah, it is something strange about this castle. There was not this mutch strange things on Durmstrang." he said with deep voice. Then he smiled and asked a house elve for a glass of milk.

''Riiight.....'' He laughs and sees the house elf he talked to coming with his chocolate plate. ''Thanks!'' He smiles and takes the chocolate and munches on it.

a house elf aproaches with his glass of milk he drinks half the glass at one time "I have not gotten used to all this things the castle do for you. Of course we did some strange stuff on Durmstrang but WE did it, not the castle" he said and grinned
and drank up the milk, then asked for some more.

''Well said!'' He grinned and asked the same elf for a glass of Pepsi.

the elf came with the new glass of milk "Thank you" he grinned to the little elf
"Eric, strange stuff happens all the time in this castle and the forest" he said

''Well, what do you expect? Places were they teach magic are different.'' He shrugs and accepts the glass of Pepsi from the elf. ''Thanks.'' He smiles at the elf.

he drank some milk "Eric, when it is full moon you can hear werewolves from the forrest!" he allmost shouted and allmost spitted out the milk but swallowed it.
