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.

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?

Beaming at his response, she was glad that some peasants still knew how to respect their princesses. He had more prince qualities than he was letting on. So more beamy faces for you.........what was his name again? Z. That would be the name she would refer to him as. Maybe even add Prince to it. Prince Z. Yep.

"Oh," she frowned. Well, that was disappointing. "I thought that maybe you were special. Like a fairy godmother. Only you are a boy, so you can't be a godmother. So...like a fairy prince godfather. But I guess not." 'Cause he didn't have a wand either. Sad. "Did your mama tell you you couldn't have one cause you are too little too?" Genuine question. She was curious.

"Mhmm," she nodded furiously. "Daddy is busy training a peasant on how to cook, so all the clothes in our room aren't being worn and are lonely. I think you would be doing them a favor. Daddy has nice boots too. Some of them have shiny things on them." She liked shiny things. Which reminded her that she still needed a new tiara, and since Prince Z did not have a wand and was therefore not her fairy prince godfather he couldn't fix her broken one. "But you have to help me find a new tiara. Charlie broke mine."

"But you have to help me find a new tiara. Charlie broke mine."

So because he didn't have a wand, it meant he wasn't special? That was rude, sooooo rude. "Look, girly... I'd hate to burst your bubble, but I'm not a fairy, or a prince, or a godfathermotherwhatever ... I'm a wizard!" he stated, puffing out his chest just a little. "And I'm gonna be the greatest Wizard in the world! You'll see!"... he was special, and even though he knew he was making things up, the mermaid princess couldn't pin him for it, she was more ridiculous than he was.

As for whether he was allowed a wand... well, that was a tricky one. "She didn't say I couldn't, but I won't be allowed to use it until I get to school anyways, cause it's against the law and stuff," he informed. He knew lots about the laws and stuff, he had to, he was deprived of being ignorant to the fact, so the least he could do was boast about the knowledge.
"What's your name anyway?" he asked, curious and not wanting to keep calling her girly, it was the type of thing Emily would flick him behind the ear for.

Zeke pulled a couple of faces, pursing his lips, half smirking, his brows knitting together and unknitting. She sounded legit, minus the peasant thing, her dad didn't really have peasants did he? "Ohhh... err, okay then. That might be cool," he nodded, wondering if he was falling for a trap and she'd lock him in a dungeon or something. Did she have pet crocodiles to feed him to? Didn't princesses have those? He blinked himself back to reality, thoughts of crocodiles replaced with tiaras. Gross. "Why settle for a tiara when you can fave a crown?" he asked, clearly she needed to aim higher, bigger!

Both her hands formed tiny little fists and set them purposefully on her hips. "Don't call me girly, it's RUDE," she huffed. "I have a name you know. It's Sachiko." Mama wouldn't approve of it. Or maybe she should call him boyly and see how he liked it. "Are you a bad guy? They always say long talks that end like that, you know. Being the greatest sorcerer in the and stuff." Even if he hadn't said sorcerer, the one guy with the funny mustache had in the one cartoon she had watched. The one with the genie. It all made sense, really. Pirates were bad guys and now Prince Z was talking like them. Just needed the AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH. And a hook. And maybe one of those peg legs.

Well now she was REALLY confused. "Does that mean....it's against the rules for you to use a wand?" Law was one of those fancy adult words that she didn't really understand. Adults had lots of rules. It was weird.

He was making weird faces. Did he know that? Weird enough faces that her stoic princess stare broke a few times into short fits of giggles. "I can't have a crown unless I am a queen," she scoffed complete with eye rolling. GOSH, didn't he know anything. "And to be a queen I have to marry a prince, so I need to find a prince." See why she was looking? She didn't really understand the marry thing too much. All she knew was the she needed to wear white and kiss the prince and then that was that. "Well, come on," she chirped, marching over to him and grabbing one of his hands and tuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugging. "Let's goooooooooo."

Oh gawwwddd... she did that thing with her hands on her hips too! It was sch a GIRLY thing to do, he swore it. They were probably born with a manual on how to ruin ~~boys~~mens lives. Yep. "Weeelll... Saaatch... Saa--Satchk-- CHICKO! I didn't know your name now did I?" he questioned, because what was he supposed to call her? And no, he wasn't going to ask out loud because he did not need to hear a response of princess. But contrary to popular belief, he wasn't rude, he was actually rather well mannered when he felt like it, or when adults were present. "My name's Zeke by the way," he added, y'know, to be friendly. Speaking of friendly, was she being rude now? Asking him if he was evil?... it didn't make sense. "That's the sort of question that will get you killed one day," he mused honestly, "but no, I'm not evil, I'm more of a hero type person." Despite not having saved anyone or anything in his life, he was certain of this fact, it was what motivated him to explore and shizzz. "I go on adventures and stuff and try to help people, y'know, catch bad guys and stuff."

Was she daft? Of course it was against the rules. Figuring she might just be too little to understand such things, Zeke nodded, suddenly feeling more knowledgeable and powerful. This must be what Emily meant when she said that knowledge was power. But it still wasn't going to get him passing math next year. "Yep... not allowed to use a wand unless you're at school... or until you're seventeen," he nodded, being useful and educating her on their world.

....

....

Blah blah blah Queens, Princesses, Princes .. whatever. He didn't respond with words, just a look, and a very careful step in the opposite direction from her. Did he mention he WASN'T a prince? Cause he'd repeat it if she was getting funny ideas. Zeke was starting to think the girl ... Chicko, might have been under the influence of a love potion thing - minus the fact that she wasn't sucking his face, YET, and that she wasn't all woe is me I can't live without you, YET - so his eyes widened in alarm as she marched up to him and took his hand. 0________o

As it was, he was used to being dragged around by girlies. Ashley was good at it, as was Avery and Emily.. so he didn't bother putting up a fight with Chicko. Besides, fighting girls was lame, they were little... especially this pink one. "Uh huh, I'ma comin," he said in an effort to keep her from yanking his arm off.

sweetpinkpixie · 04-21-2014, 12:47 PM

Sachiko huffed again. "How do I know what you know? I don't live in your braaaaaaaain," she retorted as she scrunched up her nose tightly like she had just smelled something dreadful. "SA - CHI - KO," she said niiiiiiiiiiiiice and slowly for him. "NOT Chicko." And she would rather he attached princess to the front of that, but it already seemed like his boy brain couldn't handle just her name, so she knew she was asking for all the candy in the candy store already. "I knew that," she lied. She HAD known that it started with a Z and that was close enough.

Hmmmm....hero type. Yes. This would do nicely. Add another point to the prince score board. "So...you ARE a prince then. Because that it what they do. Protect people and catch bad guys. LIKE A KNIGHT!" NOT a pirate.

"School?" she asked. "I go to school...does that mean I can have a wand?" Serious questions here, because if so then her mama and daddy were holding out on her and she was going to demand she be given her wand right now. "You're smart," she decided. He knew about grown up things AND was a prince. "I bet you have a birdy brain." Mama had always talked about how smart people were in the raven house. BIRDIES! Only ravens weren't that pretty. Not like peacocks or hummingbirds. Those were really pretty.

Leading the way up the stairs and down the hall to her home, Sachiko continued to moderately drag Prince Z to the big bedroom where her mama and daddy slept. She only dropped his hand when she spotted daddy's fulffy white kitty curled up in a tiny ball on the bed. "HI MARSHMALLOW! I'M HOME!" she squealed as she ran over to the cat and scooped him up in an eyepopping hug.

Hera · 04-21-2014, 01:51 PM

0________o

Did she just say that? She didn't live in his brain, no, but that didn't explain anything. He still didn't know her name until nowwwww.. and what? It wasn't Chicko? Chicko was nice and easy to remember. Zeke's brows knit to gether in serious contemplation as she essentially spelled her name out for him, nice and slowly. "Sa.. chi... ko..." he repeated after her. "Sachiko." If you asked him, Chicko sounded better, and was easier too. WAIT! WHATTTT?... "How'd you know?" he asked, because as far as he could recall, he hadn't introduced himself to her. "Are you stalking me? Is this what this is?" Maybe it wasn't a coincidence that the prince-hunting-kissing-wanting-pink-'princess' happened to turn up where he was. Ew?

And no, that's not where he was going with this. "N-n--nooo... not a prince," he stammered, insistent on being a NORMAL but legendary wizard in the making. She was winning him over with the catching bad guys and protecting people thing though, now she was understanding, and ooommgg, "YES!" he exclaimed, "a Knight, I'm a Knight!Wizard is what I am," he confirmed with a solemn nod. He could go along with this, just not that icky prince stuff, he wasn't royalty.

He walked along with her, and tilted his head to the side with an amused smile as she came to her own conclusions about school. Obviously she wasn't THAT clued into wizard school. "Proper school, magic school," he clarified, "like Hogwarts, I'm going there next year, but mum's been thinking of sending me to Durmstrang," which sounded gross. DUUUURRRM-STRANG. It sounded like a drowning cat. Zeke puffed his chest out a little, his grin widening at the complements he was receiving. Smart. Yes, yes. He WAS smart... though he wasn't entirely sold on the bird brain bit. "Birds have small brains, and tend to fly into windows, are you sure that's right?" he asked. It didn't sound right to him, more like a backhanded compliment if anything.

Obliging the pink ~~princess~~, Zeke followed her lead up stairs and down a different hall to another room, his hazel eyes looking about as they went. He stood rooted to the spot when Sachiko let go, and observed as she went about killing the cat. "Eeerrr... I dun think he likes that," he commented. Eyes could be telling like that, and when they were out of ones skull it was usually an indication that something wasn't as it ought to be - in a bad way.

sweetpinkpixie · 04-23-2014, 05:25 AM

First....she didn't know what stalking was. That sounded like another grown up word and grown up words were always boring...so she knew how best to respond to that question. "No." She was pretty sure she wasn't anyway. "That other boy said it at the fountain." Duh.

A Knight Wizard? "Why can't you be all three things?" she asked, her head cocking to the side curiously. Because being a Knight Wizard Prince sounded a lot cooler than being a Wizard Knight or a Prince Knight or just two things. Why be two when you could be three, right? Just like she wanted to be six instead of five. MORE was ALWAYS better. Like having MORE dessert and MORE hair ribbons.

"Hogwarts is a funny name. So is Dumstrange," she pointed out. She hoped mama and daddy didn't make her go to either of those, but especially the second one. Being called dumb and strange did not sound nice. And...he did have a point. Birds had small heads and therefore must have small brains. Not like elephants. They had HUGE heads. "But mama always says that Raven House people are smart."

Giving Marshmallow another few tight squeezes - his little beady kitty eyeballs popping out of his head - she kissed the cat something fierce on top of its little head and turned towards Zeke. "Do yoooooooooou speak cat?" Because she did and she knew Marshmallow loved her. "Marshmallow is going to help judge your new outfit. He is very good a picking things that match."

Hera · 04-23-2014, 06:37 AM

There was something in her expression that told him he couldn't entirely trust her responses, but the no was reassuring. He'd heard about people being stalked, and either being killed or being smothered in kisses - neither of which were an option for him. If he died, Emily would resurrect him and kill him again - for being an idiot, or something. That aside, he wasn't much a fan of kisses. Hadn't had them, and didn't want them. He was fine without. "Oh... right," Ezra.

Zeke had to hand it to the girl, she asked some good questions, and he LIKED questions too, so he could appreciate hers. "Well... to be a Prince you have to be the son of a King or Queen, right?" he asked, using this to prove his point that he was not a Prince. "And I'm not.. so I'm cool with being other things, like a Knight, or a pirate and of course I am a wizard." See how it worked now??? Hhhmmmmmm???

"They all have funny names," Zeke confirmed, convinced of this fact. He'd have mentioned Beauxbaton's too, except that his French was terrible and didn't do the name any justice. In fact, almost everything in the magical world had a weird name, including people. If he was the type to feel selfconscious then he'd have suggested to Emily that he wanted a name change. Something COOL and WIZARDY... like... Griffin Pottermort! Yeeeaaaahhh. He snapped out of his thoughts as Sachh--eerr SACHIKO, started going on about Raven House. "You mean, Ravenclaw House?" he corrected, again nodding. "It's true, they are super smart, my mu--Emily was... is?.. one." Yep.

...

...

THAT CAT WAS GOING TO DIE!........

He was staring, his own brows arched as he sympathised with the kitty. "Y'know what?" he started, "I do... and while he loves you, and loves the idea of helping pick clothes for me, he likes his eyes in his head." Yep. She ought to know this. Did she speak cat? He doubted it. At least he did something Knightly, and SAVED the kitty from the clutches of ~~Evil Princess~~ Sachiko.

Callie · 08-03-2018, 04:52 PM

As soon as they reached their room, Lexi rushed straight for the balcony, tossed open the doors, stepped out and gave a deep, audible, satisfied sigh at the lovely view of London with all its wonderful nomajs rushing around in their pleasant little nomaj lives...er....Muggles. Muggles, right? Yeah, muggles!

Tamara gave David an amused little side grin and then nodded at the foot of the bed. "Just set our bags down over there, please." While set about putting their luggage down, Tams quickly pulled out what to her seemed like a generous, yet still practical group of sickles and placed them in David's hands before he could try to protest. "Thank you."

She joined her wife on the balcony, wrapping her arms around her, and giving her a quick loving kiss on the neck.

"Reminds me of New York," Lexi said, leaning into Tammers' embrace. "Only, more British."

Tamara just chuckled softly at that, and for a long moment, they stood, quietly observing the bussle of London. "Thank you for doing this for me."

"Pffft. I don't know what you're thanking me for. I got a shop out of this move. I should be thanking you."

Birchwoodmom · 08-04-2018, 04:31 AM

After David had reappeared from carrying the ladies bags to their room, Lucy got their food order going. Her kitchen staff was on the ball and she knew they would have it up in no time. Once ready, she loaded the tray with the pixie pizza, bottle of elderflower wine, chips with ketchup, and a nice large slice of red velvet cake and ice cream. She even placed a little vase with some fresh cut flowers to brighten up the room.

She levitated the box of Timothy hay and walked up the stairs, box trailing behind her, until she reached room 1-10. With a gentle knock, she announced her arrival. “Your food order and hay are available.” She hoped they were getting settled in and enjoying the beautiful view of the city.

Callie · 08-10-2018, 07:31 PM

The knock pulled them away from the view and each other. Lexi opened the door for Lucy while Tamara began unpacking. The heavenly scent of the pixie pizza filled the room, and Lexi took a deep breath, savoring the scent. If it tasted as good as it smelled, Lexi was going to be grabbing lunch here a lot.

"That smells heavenly, thank you!" She held the door open, closing it after letting Lucy in. And the timothy hay already too! "Hear that, Fluff?" Lexi gently lifted a very fuzzy rabbit that lived up to his name out of a travel cage and held him up at eye level. "You get dinner too." She turned him so he was facing Lucy. "That's Lucy. The nice lady that owns this place. Lucy, this Super Fluff the Wonder Rabbit! We call him Fluff for short."

"You can set it down on the table, thanks." Tamara said. She was currently setting up Fluff's cage. "It smells wonderful!"

"And she's a chef, so she knows!"

Birchwoodmom · 08-11-2018, 04:39 AM

She smiled at the girls, happy to hear the excitement over the food. The Leaky might not be fancy, but she was determined to make up for it with a comfy room and great food. She paused, tray in hands, to see the fluffy bunny. “Aren’t you just the sweetest thing. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Fluff.”

Lucy nodded and placed the tray on the table Tamara spoke of, once again making sure nothing they ordered was missing. “If there is anything else I can bring up to you ladies, please let me know. The first night in a new place can be a bit unsettling. Oh, and thank you. I'll let the chef know. He always loves to hear customers are happy.”

“I’ll let the two of you enjoy your dinner. Sleep well and sweet dreams.” She gave a big smile to both Tamara and Lexi as she backed towards the door. As much as she wanted to chat and find out more about both of them, she knew there would be time for it later. She also had plans to visit Madame Primpernelle's very soon, which would give her a chance to get to know Lexi on her turf.

As she left the room, she called Quid over “Now, you watch over these nice ladies tonight. Don’t let anyone disturb them.” Her hand reached town and rubbed the crup’s head and scratched his back in that one special spot that always made his back paw tap.
