 Open! books and cleverness | i like you a latte
As a new teacher, Mr Aguilar was still learning where things were located in the castle. He was given an overview of the floor plans before the term began, but there were so many towers, dungeons and secret chambers that he thought it would be impossible to explore every nook and cranny even if he spent seven years here like the students did. He paced back and forth as he scrutinised the painting of the silver fruit bowl. He knew that the kitchen was just beyond this painting, but could not remember what had to be done to gain access to the room. Was it a password? An incantation? Eventually, he decided to try everything he could think of - he wasn't returning to his office without a mid-afternoon snack.
"Ahem. I am Camilo Aguilar, flying instructor, and I wish to enter the Hogwarts kitchen." he said to the grapes in a low voice. This ... was the dumbest thing he had ever done. Or second dumbest, since he was quite stupid to fail to notice that his employer was a cult leader in disguise.
