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.
Ash was trying to find hiding spots. And then she saw this dude TALKING TO THE PAINTING. Not how you do it, no? "I think you're doing that wrong, sir. I think you have to tickle the pears, or stab them or something. Not talk to the grapes." Who even was this dude? Not a cultist. Must be a new teacher. "What are you trying to get into the kitchen for sir? Are you hiding or just looking for snacks?" Ash didn't know who this was, so there was plenty of time to form an opinion. I am Ashley Fox, second year Ravenclaw, and I wish to not die. She tilted her head at him. Even though they were all in mortal peril, the sight of a professor talking to a painting of food in an attempt to enter the kitchen was undeniably hilarious.
