| | The Guest Rooms Up the spiral staircase, the platform leads to a long hallway. On either side of the hall are different colored doors that each led to a guest room. The key to every guest room has a different color ribbon attached that corresponds to the color of the door. This little detail helps Harley remember who is staying where.
Inside each room is a large and comfortable bed that seems to sink in with each guest as they lie down for a snooze. Beside the bed is an old wooden table that has a lamp for candlelight. Each lamp is special to each room. The color of the door is the color that the light illuminates the space. Once the light is lit the colors floats up to the ceiling and illuminates the room in a round ball of gas hovering above the bed.
Every room is cleaned and maintained by the cleaning staff every morning after the guests have breakfast. And because Lucy lives at the Leaky Cauldron she is always available to handle any problems or complaints filed about the room or service.
Each one of the fifteen rooms at the Leaky Cauldron is equip with a fireplace for flooing (but remember that only those with guest keys may do so), a vanity, and a dresser with several wooden hangers, and a view of the streets below, which filter in the noise from both Diagon Alley and Charing Cross Roads.
Because of the limited space at the Leaky Cauldron those who wish to spend the night or any length of time must file with Lucy about staying in a guest room. Once administered a key be mindful to be respectful to your fellow witches and wizards and at all times follow the Rules of the Leaky Cauldron. OOC: In order to post here, your character must have rented a room from Lucy. If you are posting here without renting, you will be notified by PM that your posts have been deleted.

Grrrrrrrr.........
Sky was hating this already. A bratty child (that she STILL thought her parents should be taking care of, not her & her fellow interns), having to clean someone else's mess and not learning anything about the food service business. And not getting paid for it. Yep, signing up for this interning gig had been a bone headed move on her part.
She moved upstairs and immediately found the maid's cart. "You guys can change the linens while I clean the floors." Because there was no way she was touching someone else's bedding. What if they had head lice? Ew. She grabbed a broom from the maid cart and went straight for the first room on the floor (1-1), which didn't look like it was occupied, and started sweeping.

Along with the two other girls, Cassia walked to the guest rooms after having witnessed the kid's escape from her mother's grip. Great, it was only proven that their work was gonna be harder and harder. Not the linens changing one, the one about revealing the mystery of the disappearing socks.
As they came by the cart, the blond turned to Sky. Was she instructing them? Also, the man was clear when he said to change the linens. Surely someone who could use magic would clean the floors. Speaking of which, how handy would it have been if they could use magic. Sigh. Yet, she shrugged and grabbed some clean linens. She'd wash up later.
She then turned to Penelope, "Do you think we should just barge in?" She motioned to the room next to the one Sky entered. What if there was someone in there? It'd be kinda awkward. Or they could just knock. And so she walked over to the door and knocked lightly. Nope, no answer. Either it wasn't occupied or whoever occupied it, wasn't inside right now.
After waiting for about a minute, she turned the door knob and poked her head in. "No one's in here." She told Penelope after stepping inside the room with the clean linens. Did the Gryffindor want to join her or go to another room?

While it seems as though the guest who occupies this room has checked out, you are far from alone as you enter the room. The window is half-way open, allowing a nice summer breeze in and there appears to be a trail of pink slime going from the windowsill to the dresser over in the corner.

Oops. Seems like you are not as alone as you thought you were. As Sky was doing the sweeping, she noticed something strange on the floor. A trail of pink.....was that slime? Maybe a sick snail or something? Hmm. Maybe this job wouldn't suck as much as she was thinking.
She followed the trail over to the dresser, which was rattling, and started randomly opening drawers, hoping to find the source of the noise. Come out, come out, whatever you are..........

| Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia Right, so time to work. Finally. This was what she was supposed to be doing here, not dealing with a child who liked her necklace way too much. If she was gonna have to deal with her asking about it every day, she might have to ask one of the adults about disillusioning her necklace so the kid couldn't see it and would assume she wasn't wearing it. Because actually not wearing it wasn't an option. This necklace was special and the only acceptable places to not wear it were in the shower and on the Quidditch pitch. And this clearly was not either of them.
But anyway. Enough of that, time to focus on this.
Penelope was pretty sure the guy hadn't said anything about cleaning the floors...but to be honest, she didn't care. That was probably somewhere on the list for later, so it meant less work then if Sky did it now. So she simply shrugged. "Okay." As for barging in? She didn't see a problem with that - didn't people who were in their rooms and who didn't want housekeepers coming in put a sign on the door that said 'Do Not Disturb' or something? - but Cassia was already knocking...and there was apparently no one inside. Awesome.
Now was the part to decide how to do the linens. Should they just split it up and each do a room separately, or do one at a time together to get a single room done a little faster? Which was the faster way to do this? She was considering this for a moment when she heard a strange rattling sound coming from the room. "What is that?" she asked, raising an eyebrow and now noticing the pink slime. It seemed Sky had too because she was searching through the dresser. In the meantime, while the other girl handled it, Penelope started pulling the dirty linens off the bed so they could be replaced.

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Sachiko had...gotten a bit distracted looking around one of the other unlocked guestrooms and had entered the one where the three slaves interns were wearing a large red hat decorated with plastic flowers. Some old lady had checked in the day before and always had this hat sitting on her nightstand. Sachiko thought it looked much better on her than the old lady though.
And she had heard the noise, but no way she was going to go poking her nose in all those drawers. HELLO! It could be a ghost that would eat your face off!
"Are you a Gryffindor?" she asked, pointing to the girl who was opening drawers. "I hear they do stupid stuff like that." More pointing. "Going right to the danger and stuff." Some more pointing and adjusting her new hat. "You should ask my daddy to do that. He's an adult."

| Queen of Typos | The OTHER OTHER Roro | WICKED is Good
She had just tossed the clean linens on a chair and walked around to the opposite side of the bed from where Penelope stood. It'd be faster if the did it together. For the first couple of ones at least. From her side, she helped pulling off the linen. But...wait? What was thaaat? Cassia wrinkled her nose eyeing the pink trail. And what was that sound. "I dunno.." She said turning to the open window. "Did you find anything, Sky?" She asked because nope. She wasn't going to get near it. Nope. This was a new outfit she wished to keep clean.
Then the kid came. Maybe if they watched her they'd somehow know if she had a secret place to hide stuff? Would she be ignorant and not cover her moves. Though she seemed to come here just to talk. Or ask. Cassia almost chuckled at her question. Luckily she remembered that Penelope here was a Gryffindor. But like, everyone knew that the lions liked to barge into stuff. Cassia's bestfriend, Lex was a living example.
The snake, reached for the clean linen and spread on the bed then started arranging the corners and smoothing it and all that.
"Nice hat," Cassia said to the girl. Maybe the girl liked compliments? Then Cassia would shower her with them trying to find out stuffs.

So far whatever was making the noises seemed to have heard her looking for it, because it had gone silent and she wasn't finding it. But looking was more interesting than sweeping, so keep looking she did. Until said looking was interrupted by the arrival of the girl she hadn't signed up to babysit, that was.
And accusing her of being a Gryffindor.....? Really? "Slytherin, actually. And nothing stupid about looking for something that's making a noise. It's probably just a mouse, anyway." As for the adult thing, well, she was almost one of those herself, technically. In the Wizarding world, anyway. Besides, dude would probably tell them to deal with it anyway. "Just saving time," she said, finishing her thought outloud.
And it seemed that the brat's questioning had caught Cassia's attention as well. "Not yet." But she was still keeping an eye out for it.......

| Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia Seemed the working together in one room was what they were gonna go with, which was good with Penelope. They could surely get the rooms done faster this way. As she helped Cassia get the dirty linens off, it seemed the little girl had decided to follow them. And she had a new hat with her...right. Penelope was gonna comment, she just pulled the linens off once Cassia had gotten her side done.
Apparently the little girl was already learning about the Hogwarts houses, and she thought Sky was a Gryffindor. Heh. Funny that that was supposed to be what they were "known" for, but she, the only Gryffindor here, wasn't the one heading into "danger," as the kid called it. A Slytherin was. See how general stereotypes were dumb?
But she simply continued with her current task, arranging the corners and such of the clean set of linens Cassia had put on the bed, just watching the others, slightly amused.

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf The one girl earned herself a BIG BEAMY smile for complimenting her hat. Why yes. It was a nice hat and so nice of her to call it Sachiko's. Which totally meant that it was her's now since the girl had said so. So Mama and daddy couldn't get mad at her anymore. Hehe. "Thank you." BEAM!
Her attention went back to the other slave girl. "I thought Slytherins were smart enough to get people to do the work for them," she said as she watched the girl obviously risk her life looking in drawers. She glanced over at the other girl, the one with the necklace that would soon be hers, and smiled. See? She was being nice.
Sachiko would never admit it, but she was rather curious as to what was making all that noise. "Maybe the noise is all those missing socks." Because they had totally grown legs and walked into that dresser. Stranger things had happened at the Leaky Cauldron.

| LIGHT! There was sudden brightness and the creature did NOT like that. Not one bit. It attempted to venture further back in the drawer to escape the rays of the sun and hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissed at whoever it was that was disturbing its slumber. |

Okay, ignoring that first comment. The girl obviously had a lot to learn about the Hogwarts houses if she thought that. But it wasn't Sky's job to tech her that. Nope, she was supposed to be down in the kitchen. But whatever. "Since when did socks sound like that?" she asked instead. Really, socks were generally quiet objects. Unless they had jingling bells attached to them, of course.
But then she heard something hissing. Coming from the drawer she had just pulled open. Bending down to check what it was, she let out a loud scream and jumped back. "AHHHHHH!" What was that thing?

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf And apparently Slytherin's lacked an imagination too. Pity. The mascot was a snake and she sort of liked snakes, but now the house sounded sort of boring and full of dull people. Sachiko stuck her tongue out at the older girl when her back was turned and just stood there when...
"OH MY GOODY GOODY GUMDROPS I WANT IT! IWANTITIWANTITIWANTIT!"
The 5-year-old got closer to the dresser and sort of shoved her way past the other girl. IT WAS SO CUTE! SHE WANTED IT AS A PET! NOW! WHERE WAS DADDY?!

Okay..okay. So the bed had clean linens now, thanks to her and Penelope. And it wasn't that hard nor complicated. They might have done it faster than this but Cassia kept getting distracted by the little girl's amusing talk. So far amusing. Maybe at the end of the day it'd become unbearable or boring or tiring depending on the day's amount of work. Cassia reached for the dirty linen and clumsily balled it then tossed it near the door so they'd put it in the cart once they finished with this room.
Speaking of, what the kneazle was that sound. The snake turned her attention from the kid who was reciting her theories about houses, and took a step towards Sky and the sound. Did the girl say missing socks? HA! That's one sign! Cassia noted that comment. She was about to ask the child something about the socks to see her reaction but they were interrupted.
The fifteen-year old got closer and peered at what scared or disgusted Sky. What. Was. That.
Her eyes probably widened and she didn't know whether to BOLT out of the room or stay where she was. But if a child could get closer to it then so could she right? Though she was staying right behind the kid juuuuuust in case. It wouldn't hurt to use the kid as a shield. Nope, totally okay.
"Easy..." Was her only respond to the girl's excitement. "I think we should get it out of here."And get rid of it. She kept that to herself. "I'll go grab a broom." Did they think she was touching it? Pffft.

| Baguette | there is no D in my name | TRAITORclaw | Queenie of Narnia So everything was fine, they'd completed their job with one bed and could move onto the next room, but then SOMETHING happened. Something hissed. In the drawer. And Sky screamed. And the kid thought it was smart to go right up to where the creature noises were coming from.
Not knowing what the creature might do, Penelope instinctively reached forward, grabbed the little girl's arm, and pulled her back away from the drawer. "Get away from it," she warned. She then nodded at Cassia. "Yeah. Hurry." Get the broom or whatever else might get the creature out of there.

| Hissing at the group of humans, the creature suddenly jumped out of the drawer with one sock hanging out of its mouth. It landed face first on the floor with a THUD and then just lay there looking dead with the sock still clutched between its cute little fangs. |

Okay, she figured that by the time she went to get the broom, someone would do something and solve this matter so they'd get to move on with the rooms and maybe do some waitressing because it was cooler. She didn't think that earlier but now it sounded so much enjoyable than the hissing creatures. GULP. She didn't survive dementors months ago to come and die here in the Leaky. Nope, nope. Skipping over to the cart, Cassia grabbed the dirty linens which she tossed earlier, and put them in the trolley then grabbed a broom.
Maybe if she went there the other two girls would have gotten rid of that thing. Like throwing it out of the window didn't sound so bad.
Or not.
Clutching the broom in both hands, the snake walked slowly towards the group and jumped hearing a sound. IT WAS OUT! Her grip tightened around the wood and she contemplated hitting randomly but worried that she 'd break something.
THERE'S A SOCK!
The blond blinked down loosening her grip. Very slowly, she reached down and snatched the sock from the creature's mouth. HA! Was it possible that the kid was innocent and had nothing to do with the missing socks?
"Um...We found a sock, I guess," She said. "Umm..Someone get me something to put it in," She said as she stepped closer and nudged the creature with the broom. She wasn't touching it. Nope. They should just sack it and give it to Mr.Sharidou.

| lives in a hobbit hole || Ern and Touz's Nuzzle || roflysst || looking at a seed packet They'd been living at the Leaky Cauldron for a couple of years now, in room 1.9. HER bed wasn't a proper bed, it was sort of like a sofa at the same time. Her dad said it was called a day bed, but Lola thought that was silly because people didn't sleep in the day. Sometimes she jumped on it in the day, but she didn't sleep on it.
Right now Lola wasn't sleeping OR jumping. And also she wasn't even in room 1.9. Instead she was in her socks and sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiding up and down the corridor's polished floors. Sometimes there was a long carpet here but it was gone today. Lola didn't know why but she liked it because that meant she could slide.
The newly eight year old kept up her skidding along the first floor corridor, keeping herself wholly entertained while her dad did boring paper stuff in their room.

After closing the door lightly behind him, Zeke turned his attention to the room. There had to be towels or a fluffy robe somewhere. He started with the wardrobe, pulling the doors wide open to examine what he could find.

Fairy tales were giving her such high expectations for life, you know? Clutching Bubba with both of her hands, the soon-to-be-six-year-old went scurrying up and down the hallways in a pink flash, pausing here and there to test door handles and see just which guests had been kind enough to leave them unlocked.
While rattling one of the locked door handles, however, she heard the sound of a door closing. Cocking her head to the side like a curious baby owl, she looked down at her toad and pouted. "Bubba, I think there is a ghost. Daddy didn't give anyone the pretty bow to that room," she informed him. She would have remembered too. That pretty bow was the closest to her favorite color, pink. "Princesses can also be ghost hunters, did you know?"
Pursing her lips and putting on her I AM DETERMINED face, Sachiko marched towards the door and pressed her ear up against it firmly to listen carefully for a few moments before she slowly pulled the door opened and peeked inside. Only to be slightly disappointed and excited at the same time. "You're not a ghost."
Lame.

Lame. There wasn't much in here, but he was trying to get a look at the top shelf when he heard the door open. Door open? 0_______o .......... Yikes!
Zeke practically jumped INTO the wardrobe, forgetting that the doors were open regardless and he'd already been spotted. The voice was familiar though, so he wasn't too concerned, and turned to face the little pink thing the words had come from. "Not yet," he admitted, but considering he'd get to choose, he might consider it. That's how it worked right? At the time he died he could just think GHOST ME UP BUTTERCUP, and it'd happen?
Zeke continued to look at the girl - he remembered her from the fountain, but was more concerned with Emily killing him at the time to really bother with her. All that pink, and the toad thing, and being a princess, he sincerely hoped she didn't think he would be her prince, because he was NOT prince material. That meant face eating, and he didn't have an appetite for that - and probably never would. "I'm eerrr... a little wet... from the fountain, it hates me," he added as if this justified his presence in the room.

"I'm eerrr... a little wet... from the fountain, it hates me," he added as if this justified his presence in the room. Boys were weird. Did he know that? That he was weird? Because he was.
Especially since there was nothing special about that wardrobe. She had already checked it, and every other one in the Leaky Cauldron for that matter, after mama had read her the story about the brothers and sisters that went to a magical land through the wardrobe. Again, fairy tales gave her such high expectations for reality. Maybe she just hadn't found the RIGHT wardrobe yet....or the wardrobes here hated her and wouldn't show her their secrets.
Yep. Definitely that.
"Lucky for you then, because now I don't have to capture you," she replied while lifting her nose up high in the air. "The wardrobes here hate me. They won't take me to the special land like in the book mama read me." She continued to just stand there in the doorway, toad in hand, staring at him. "Mama says you can get sick from being in wet clothes, you know. You should get new ones. Not in here. No one is sleeping here now."

"Mama says you can get sick from being in wet clothes, you know. You should get new ones. Not in here. No one is sleeping here now." This wasn't awkward, not in the least. Zeke raised a hand and rubbed the back of his neck where the hair clung to his skin, sill damp, but not dripping. He gave a snort at the thought of her capturing him, really? If he WAS a ghost, she'd capture him? "And how do you capture a ghost?" he asked, definitely curious. He was certain it wasn't possible, cause they were you know, not SOLID. But yeah. Curious.
Zeke closed the wardrobe doors, figuring he wasn't going to have any luck either. "Special land?" he echoed, the only special land of that description he could think of was Narnia. But that was.. just a story, wasn't it? Or was it? "Have you tried using a wand? Like the entrance thingy to the alley from here?" he asked. That whole tapping the bricks thing, it was odd, but cool.
He shrugged, moving further into the room and deciding to test out the bed instead, maybe roll around on the sheets and dry that way. "I'll be fine, just need to wait and dry off. And if I get sick then there are potions I can take." He was sure Emily would have some, and if not her, then Gavin. Avery got sick a lot, Gavin probably had a collection just in case.

Boys always thought they were so smart asking questions like that. Daddy did it all the time, but all she had to do was bat her eyelashes and BEAM at him to make the questions stop and for her to get ice cream. She would have done the same now, only she was positive that not-yet-ghost-boy didn't have ice cream with him so it wouldn't be worth the effort. "I princess never reveals her secrets," she huffed.
HMMPH. "Daddy and mama say I am too little to have one," she pouted, bringing Bubba closer to her face and giving him a loving snuggle. "Have you tried?" Did he hand one with him now? Because having one was on the check list of princely things to have. Along with a cape. But that was an easy fix even if he didn't have one now.
"But potions taste icky," she said, wrinkling her nose in disgust. "Why would you want to do something and have to drink something icky? You're a boy. Daddy is a boy. You could wear daddy's clothes. Then you don't have to have something icky."

Then you don't have to have something icky." He was expecting something ridiculous, something that wasn't possible. Maybe something along the lines of kissing them and capturing them that way. The girly seemed to like that kind of stuff. But what came out of her mouth next, was in a completely different realm of ridiculous. He hadn't checked, but he was certain there were no princes or princesses in this world.. the Diagon Alley world. Ahem. "Uhhhhhh huh," he replied with a nod, his expression blank.
She had a point though, she was too little to have one. And if she had one, it would be all the more reason for him to have one. "No... not yet?" he added with a head tilt. He supposed once he purchased his, that he could. Maybe. "I was actually going to buy my wand today, but then this happened," he said, indicating his clothes. They were uncomfortable, clinging in places that shouldn't cling. He could still feel the galleons in his pocket, he would have enough to get one now too, thanks to the kind donation from the fountain. He would return it one day, if only to avoid all that bad karma stuff.
Zeke didn't know what potions tasted like, he hadn't needed any yet, but he could imagine why they didn't taste so good. He'd helped brew a few, and there were things like eyes in them, and pus, and leaves and blood and sometimes spit! SPIT! ... or y'know, DNA stuff. "I could?" he asked, disbelieving. "Wouldn't your dad mind? And wouldn't they be too big on me?" He was tallISH, yes, but he wasn't a daddy, they were older and therefore much taller. Unless they were midgets. Was he a midget?
