Bernie just couldn't believe all these house elf names! How come she hadn't encountered Bidet before, or Elm---
"Hang on, that one's fake," she pointed to Juliette but cracked a big grin. "Elmo isn't a house elf, he's a little red monster on that Muggle show." You know, the one where the puppets all lived on the streets of America? It was very old but apparently still on TV, though it was one of those channels only her brother paid for and he only watched the shows with the aDuLT cOnTeNt. Boo to him. And boo to Juliette, too, for ALMOST tricking Bernie. (She was, however, possibly convinced that an elf named Bidet was real.)
Yeah, evictions happened ALL the TIME in Bernie's building. She nodded and stared at Juliette, wondering how much it cost to pay someone to decorate your house for you. "That's kind of amazing..." she admitted, just a little bit jealous of this frivolous spending. Bernie's room at home was currently yellow, her sister's favorite color, because they had to share it and she'd won the coin toss the last time they'd painted. But it was fine, Bernie liked living at Hogwarts most of the time anyway, and didn't care that much about decorating.
The cake, though, she would love to see that decorated in sugar and sprinkles and fancy letters. Bernie turned her attention to Miss Beezley, beaming at the elf as she pulled over a nearby stool and settled in to watch her baking. "Thank you, Miss Beezley," she chirped too, already impressed just by the house elf's promise to write all those words on the cake. Bernie had to see this!
But why... why was the elf's magic not working? She frowned and looked at Juliette, like she might know what was up, and then glanced back to the elf as she began to bang her head.
"Nooooooo, stop!" Bernie leapt off her stool and reached out a hand to help the elf. Was she allowed to touch her, or would that scare her away?! "Please, don't hurt yourself! It's just a cake!!!"
