Alice felt her legs grew more and more weaker. She was like going to faint at anytime. Without food for morethan 15 hours is not fun.
She watched him fumbling a bit before found the sweet. Her favourited sweet. Fyo was always shrewd and perfect. He knew the nuances of the life. Awesome.

Alice picked up the sweet, stuffed them into her mouth in great hurry. Please do something Coconut ice, i dont want to feel weak anymore. She prayed and determined tobe stay alive.

"Thanks Fyo," she wiped off her mouth by the tissue once she finished up. "Okay. How about Bamboo forest or lake?" her eyes lighting up at the sound of lake. Hehe.

Fyo breathed a sigh of relief. At least she didn't seem that weak, anymore. He'd never be able to figure out how she got into so many scraps.

And yes, he needed to ask her exactly WHY she hadn't been eating properly.

The lake? NO WAY! Not at all, not after what had happened the last time they'd been there, you know. "The bamboo forest sounds great," he said, mustering up a smile and leading her away.

Yes, leading her away. By the hand and all. Because he was pretty scared she'd get into another of her scraps, or something of that sort.

She felt bit stronger now. After eating a single sweet, the energy level had been reached to a good level in her body. Fantastic. Atleast there was no need for him to carry her to the hospital wing. No. No hospital.

Alice grinned as he chose the Bamboo forest. Realizing his fears over the lake only for her safety measure, she felt so loved and cared. I'm lucky.

"Okay, let's go, but no running this time," she giggled, followed him, hand in hand, as he was leading her.

Argyle is confused. One student wants flour poured all over him. Now another one wants a big bag of sugar. Why can't they just eat cookies like the other students. "You want sugar. Do you want it poured over you too? Argyle gets you some cookies some nice chocolate chips or toffee crunches."

Now a Ravenclaw and a Gryffindor have joined the group. Argyle hopes they don't want butter spread all over them. What happened to the good old days when students wanted cookies and milk. How can Argyle help you?" Argyle bows at the students. "Do you want flour and sugar spread all over you?"

Giving a rather large grin at the house elf, Jake considered his plan for a moment. Toffee crunched... they seemed so tempting...

Dilemma...

Nahhhhhh..

"No thanks, juat a bag of sugar will do, please," Jake smiled, again imagining the prospect of a sugar coated Jakers.

The water, which had remained still, began to rise once more on the steps.

Celandine barely noticed the water rising as she left the kitchen. She grabbed a few cookies and munched on them absentmindedly as she headed back up to her (safe... I hope) common room.

Jake tapped his foot a little, glancing at the others in the kitchen, not even registering the water that was rising. If he had noticed, he still would have found it odd, not knowing about the whole dungeons fiasco.

Vaguely wondering what other reasons one could possible have for entering the kitchen's, aside from getting nummy sugar, Jake kind of drifted around the kitchen, just a little, not moving more than six feet from his current position.

Argyle follows after the boy. Argyle didn't like students roaming around Argyle's kitchen. It was not an area the students should have carte blanche in. Argyle's tea towel is starting to get wet at the bottom. Argyle notices her feet are wet too. "Who left the water running in the sink agan?" Argyle yells as Argyle goes to turn the tap off.

Was that house elf... following him? Haha. Cooooool. He looked round at the sound of the elf's voice, frowning as she mentioned the water running. What the-? Did that usually happen?

What if the sugar got damp?

OH NOES!

But now Jake was... kind of freeeeeeee from the elf stalker. Meh, he could wait for the sugar... the kitchen was cool... needed exploring.

Sarah walked into the Kitchens. "Okay, everyone needs to get out of here." She smiled as she shouted her orders. "It's the Professor orders, he wants everyone off this floor." She smiled. "Does anyone need a hand getting out of here?" She looked around the room.

Varius Tipps was very rarely serious and most people would agree to this. However, when times were hard or when a crisis showed itself, he very well could be the most serious and responsible person on the planet. He entered the kitchens and saw that it, too, was suffering the water damage.

"Please, house elves, listen up," Varius shouted across the kitchen, "I need you ALL to go up to the Great Hall. There has been a terrible leak and we need to evacuate this floor. The Headmaster or a Professor will come and collect you from there and escort you to... well, wherever they decide. Please move and don't panic!"

Varius began wandering the kitchens looking for any elves that may have been hiding or may not have heard him. It was during this search that he found Jake, completely oblivious to the water it seemed. "Jake, c'mon, we need to get outta here! The water has spread from the dungeons!" he watched as his Hufflepuff housemate made his way out of the kitchens and presumably up to the Great Hall.

"C'mon house elves. Beezley, Argyle, Tinka," he rounded off the few names that he knew, "Gotta get gone before the water gets too high."

Sarah looked to the boy who she was with. "You take the left and I take the right?" She asked. "That way we can make sure no one is hiding anywhere?" He asked. "Or if you want we can do something else." She smiled at the boy. "I know this isn't the time but my name is Sarah."

Copernicus had completely missed lunch trailing Plymouth around, and he made his way down to the kitchens. Not TOTALLY rule-abiding, but he was so hungry.

And then he opened the door and a little rush of water covered his shoes. Erm. Not good. "You know, this just CANNOT be sanitary."

"Sorry." He smiled as this boy came into the kitchen. "The Kitchen is closed, due to the water in here." She smiled. "You need to go to the Great Hall and wait there, this floor has started to flood." She hoped that the boy would listen to her.

Plymouth jumped on Copernicus's back and HUGGED him (and to protect his shoes, right?). "PIiiiiizzzzaaaa! Think the little elfies will make us one?" When the girl started chittering at them about closed kitchens. "But... we're hungry, Missy Ma'am. Look at his belly!" Plymouth reached over Cope's shoulder to pull up Cope's shirt to show how SKINNY he was.

"Is this part of the whole dungeon thing?" Cope looked around in confusion, batting away Plymouth's hands from his shirt. Yes, fine. He needed to eat some FOOD and put on a little weight. Whatever. "But this is really deep if its from the dungeon. Who told you to make people go to the Great Hall?"

"Sure," Varius responded to the girl as she suggested they split the search. It wasn't till Varius had finished his half that he saw the two Ravenclaw brothers at the entrance and Sarah trying to explain to them about the flood.

"Copernicus! Plymouth!" Varius smiled, genuinely pleased to see them, albeit better timing would have been preferable. "Have you seen the states of the flooding? You'd think the Professors would have managed to keep this under control by now. I'm having to evacuate all the elves and stuff! And smell the water! Reeks of Huffie girl!farts," he said, completely forgetting that Sarah was there... in her Huffieness... and her girlyness... SUSPECT!

"You here to help?"

Julie poked her head in, You guys beter hurry up. Water's filling up fast and we're getting the last of the first years to the Great Hall. She sloshed in with water up to her knees. Gentleman. Dinner, I'm sure, will be served shortly. If you will please head to the Great Hall. You will be fed. She smiled at them. She still held her skateboard.

Argyle hears her name and wades over to the flour boy. Poor Argyle the water is up to her waist. "You need Argyle?" Argyle snaps her fingers and diappears. Argyle reappears on the boys shoulders. "Kitchen is all wet. What is Argyle to do? Can't cook with the stove under water."

Sarah looked at the boys who had just come in. "The kitchen are closed." She snapped. "I don't care how hungry you are haven't you seen the state of this place." She snapped, they my be bigger than her but when her temper was like it was they should fear. "Now do you want to walk out of here or should I drag you out?" She asked.

Sarah had done her half when she saw the boy come back to her. "Is it clear?" She asked looking at him. "My side is." She then heard her say what the boys names where. So they were brothers. "Well at least our farts aren't as bad as yours are." She snapped at him. "Now if this is clear maybe we should tell the Professor?" suddenly calming down a bit.

"Ohhh.. you think the girls are tooting in the water? Perni toots sometimes in his sleep," Plymouth informed everyone as he took a deep breath in. It did smell pretty funky. "But, no, dude, we're here to EAT. Got any non-soggy food?"

Plymouth raised both eye brows at the bossy-britches little Puffy girl. "Yeah, Tipps, is your side CLEAR?" Plymouth "hehe'd" at them all.

Marcus entered the kitchens and looked around. "That would be me Mr Kettleburn. Do you see a problem with that?" He eyed the boy for a moment and also spotted Mr Morgan and he gave an inward groan. The boy who lacked serious common sense and magical ability.

"Now as you can all see, the place seems to be filling with water. So why are you all still standing around here talking? Help get the elves and the other students out...now!!"

"Bad Ravenclaw should mind his manners. Water is bad. It smells bad. Sorry Argyle has no food. It's all under water. Poor Argyle is going to loose her job." Argyle snaps her fingers and moves over to Professor's shoulders. "You come to save Argyle? Argyle like Professor man. He take Argyle to safety."
