Directly below the Great Hall is the Hogwarts kitchen, which is only accessible after you tickle the pear on a painting of a bowl of fruit in the corridor outside. Once inside, one will find that the kitchen is complete with five tables identical to and directly below those of the Great Hall. Along the walls are shelves containing all of Hogwarts' plates and cutlery, as well as a few sinks for washing. On the farthest wall, a large roaring fireplace and a door to an expansive pantry can be found.
Numerous house-elves are busily working, always working, on the castle's next meal. They will surely serve you a snack though, if you ask politely enough.
OOC: Please do not RP for the house-elves. We have a lovely group of actual elves who would love to RP with you!

The fifth year often found herself at a loss for words for the idiocy that surrounded her, and whenever she felt that way, thoughts of how she really wished she could resort into a different house plagued her. But, it didn't matter much at this point in her academic career. "It makes that you'd want to try anyway," she said with a slight nod of her head. Althea was terribly immature and prone to rash decisions, though she rarely found herself wanting to follow what others were doing, but she understood. At that age, teenagers were incredibly impressionable. "You'll find your groove anyway." She had no doubt about that.
While Althea wasn't one to advertise her father's restaurant to just anyone, she felt a strange kinship to the younger girl, which made her perk up once Jessa mentioned her birthday. "Birthday? You should definitely come then, we'll do something special for you." She was the favorite, after all; and her father wouldn't refuse her request if it meant that his restaurant was gaining traction from all over. A win-win, really. "You have? Huh, she's more popular than I thought," she mused out loud and chuckled after. Daisy did have a very magnetic pull to her, so she understood the appeal. "Of course she will. Daisy lives and breathes the sport." Which was a shame because Althea found it boring but would support her friend no matter what. "But I'll ask for both of you, if that's what you really want." It wouldn't be a big deal anyway, the more the merrier right?
Summers were also for hanging out with very interesting people, though Althea doubted Jessa had any sorts of ideas like that - did she? "I'm glad you don't fit the stereotype of your house; that would've been extremely dull." And she did not do well with dull and uninteresting. "What do you do over the summer then?" She wondered if Jessa continued her experiments outside of school too. The Ravenclaw was extremely quirky but also entertaining. Laughing lightly, she waved her hands, "Don't worry, I'll ask him. He'll do it, I promise." Just because she wasn't entirely happy with her idiot brother, didn't mean that she couldn't coerce him to help out someone in need. "The hands on type then, I like it. I'm the same way actually. There are a few things that aren't entirely hands on," like astronomy, for example, "but whenever I can apply a theory practically, it'll make sense to me."
"It's hard not to think it." Jessa replied, helping herself to another spoon of her sundae. "Especially when you ask questions and get rather simple, poorly thought out answers no matter how hard you push--right before they ask why you ask so many questions and tell you to just accept it." It was the story of her young life actually. In fact, she'd found very few who were willing to indulge her in more than a question or two. That was what made Aslan Evans one of few Godsends in this place. Saffron Stemp was definitely another. And she wasn't judging her for trying to get in with some of the things the other girls were into. It was refreshing, considering she'd gotten several "oh god don't turn into one of them" speeches. "I think even if I don't, it'll be okay but I'd like if I could get the hang of something sooner or later." Because sometimes a girl just wanted to feel like a girl and do things other girls did.
Oooooohhhh, something special because it'd be her birthday? Jessa's face lit up noticeably. She'd be absolutely lying if she said she didn't like the sound of that. "Okay! I'll definitely insist!" Pause. "Will you be there?" She did say they ate at the restaurants with a fair bit of frequency. Jessa couldn't help thinking it'd have been nice running into her while there. "Derf talks about her." She said by way of confirming she indeed had heard of her. AND ALTHEA WOULD BE ASKING FOR BOTH HER AND CAMERON'S SAKE!!!! She all but squealed, finding it difficult to control her enthusiasm. "You're the absolute best!" Both for promising this AND a conversation with her brother.
"If it was entirely up to the stereotype of my house, I'd have never been sorted a Ravenclaw in the first place." There were many times the young girl had felt completely out of place. "Asked to be resorted but my Head of House helped me feel like maybe the hat wasn't entirely wrong afterall." And she was glad he did. She didn't have more than a handful of friends in her house at most but being a Ravenclaw itself was a pretty nice feeling. "My summers are pretty neat. I spend them with my friends and my dad takes us traveling, usually lets me pick one of the places." So....pretty normal. Her eyes widened just a little in awe and amazement. "You too???" So...it was clear they were officially friends, right...? Because at this point, Althea Kenning was proving to be a perfect human being. "We should do homework together sometimes!!"

What kind of magical institution was this? Louise had read Hogwarts, A History which gave a brief introduction as to where things were located, which meant that she knew the kitchen was located someplace around here. Of course, there was just the normal mealtimes in the Great Hall, which she knew where that was, because that was where she went her first night. Unlike some of her fellow classmates, she wasn't opposed to trying new and foreign foods, however, right now she could really go for some comfort peach cobbler and fried chicken. Two things that didn't seem likely to happen at mealtime, which led to the seventh year searching for the kitchens.
She must have walked past the pear portrait a thousand times before she realized people were disappearing by tickling it. Weird? Who tickled a pear? Hogwarts, while grand, seemed rather ridiculous and antiquated at times.
Nonetheless, she followed their lead, which led her into the kitchens. At long last. She paused though when she saw two students, who seemed older, which was good. And badged, which was a double good.
"Hello, I'm sorry to interrupt. What's a girl got to do to get some peach cobbler around here?" Oh wait, she should probably introduce herself. "I'm Louise, by the way. Louise Hamilton." One of the competitors, if they'd been paying attention to the names and if their memory was good.

She all but squealed, finding it difficult to control her enthusiasm. "You're the absolute best!" Both for promising this AND a conversation with her brother.
"If it was entirely up to the stereotype of my house, I'd have never been sorted a Ravenclaw in the first place." There were many times the young girl had felt completely out of place.

So...it was clear they were officially friends, right...? Because at this point, Althea Kenning was proving to be a perfect human being. "We should do homework together sometimes!!"
Althea laughed at that, because it resonated so deeply with her personal philosophy. "Exactly, Jessa, exactly. I can't not ask questions, and people are rarely straight-forward enough so I have to ask and probe until I get a complete answer." It was frustrating, and she'd learned to deal with it but...it was still annoying to have to pry answers out of people. She took a small gulp of her water and looked at Jessa curiously. "Hmm...well, do you have a lot of girl friends?" She only asked because girls had a tendency to influence one another without meaning to. If she had to guess, Jessa probably did not feel feminine enough or like the other girls, which was a shame but Althea couldn't fault her for thinking that way. "If you ever want a girl's sort of day, we can definitely have one." Whenever she found the time...
The younger girl's excitement was well-received; Althea didn't think it was a big deal, but Jessa seemed very into it. "I will definitely be there," it would be impolite otherwise, "let me know some of your favorite foods and I'll pass the message along to my dad." If it was for a friend, she was sure he'd be willing to accommodate. The mention of Derf - the enigma of Hufflepuff - caught her by surprise; it seemed the younger year was more popular than she thought. So, so mysterious. "He's quite the fan it seems," she said with amusement. Althea actually thought it was cute that he was so fanatical, and it was understandable - Daisy had that sort of magnetic personality, you couldn't help but want to be around her. "You're right, I am," she teased (though she was half-serious) "but thank you. It's really not a big deal."
So she'd thought she was missorted too? It was something that she had mulled over during her earlier years at Hogwarts, though now she sort of just accepted her place in Hufflepuff. "Which house did you think you belonged in?" She seemed to have a boundless energy, so maybe Gryffindor? Possibly Hufflepuff as well. "Okay, how about...we set up a schedule then. I have a really erratic sleeping pattern, so it's affected how I study. How about on the weekends? I won't be as...grouchy. And it doesn't have to be every weekend at that, I'm not too consistent," she laughed at herself, hoping that this didn't bother Jessa at all. "Oh, I can rummage through my old notes from last term and you can have a quick glimpse into what fourth year is all about." Sounded good to her.

It wasn't often that Kalen left the sanctuary of the library and traversed the halls of the school, too many kids tended to overwhelm the green eyed man. He preferred the quiet that the books and shelves brought to him. Maybe it was all the noise that the kids brought with them that made him so jumpy? He didn't seem to have a panic attack about the thought of a thousand quiet children around him..
After all he had worked in a huge library.. filled to the brim with people and had no issues..
Hmm..
Anyways, the librarian was down here for a reason, his niece had informed him she had made some cake and he was down here to have a slice.. or six.. cause you know.. Chocolate!
He tickled the pear and entered the kitchen, scanning for where said chocolate cake would be.. Hmmmm... also Milk.. Milk was a must,

Olivia couldn't very well imagine her eldest brother, Marcus, married and with children. Marcus wasn't thirty four yet (he was twenty five) but in nine years he would head to that stage of life. Merlin. Olivia couldn't fathom her eldest brother a father. That was just a strange thought to her as Marcus could barely take care of himself. Olivia blinked at the next fact. Wow. Well everyone has kids at different ages. "Wow! Thirty four and two kids. That must be fun. Do you like being an Aunt?" she asked, wondering if Ava felt any different because she was an aunt.
Her twin was a Ravenclaw? Huh. "What's he like?" she asked, very curious. She was unsure if she had ever seen him before. Maybe she had? She didn't get out that much last year and was trying to make up for it with this year.
Olivia bit her lip, restraining herself from asking a question about Ava and her older sister's relationship. That was perhaps... too prying. Olivia nodded when Ava said that the cookies were ready and as Ava went to go put the cookies in the oven, Olivia washed her hands again.
Alright. It was time to make the frosting. "Alright, what can I do? Do you want me to measure the ingredients and you mix them? Or vice versa?" she offered. "Or some other combination?"
"Yeah, it is fun being an aunt. I once babysat the youngest one, she's four years old and very adorable!" Ah, she missed little miss Kiara. Ava didn't have a chance to visit her on last summer due to her part-time job, probably she would see her on Christmas break. Well yeah... she should go back home for holiday. "But the oldest one is like my little brother. He's currently nine years old and will go to Hogwarts once I'm graduated."
Okay, how she described Teddy Burton? Hmmm... "He doesn't talk much and prefers reading book than getting engaged in social event, he's quite small and not that bad looking." Hehehe. The Gryffindor had no idea if her twin brother was currently seeing someone or not because they rarely had that kind of talk (or he's very good avoiding that topic).
"I'm good. We just need to wait until the cookies are baked." She nodded as she creamed the ingredients together. Ava took some frosting with her finger and tasted it. Hmmm... "Well, you can taste the cream and give opinion if it's too sweet or something." Olivia was here to be her cookie tester, right? Hearing the oven sound, she checked the cookies. Ooooh... They looked quite good! Now it's time to take them out from the oven and cool them off for a while.

The adventures of Olly and Noelle.
If they had gone on vacation, it would have been the best vacation planned ever. Only because.. Olly had the creative brain. Which meant he tended to think outside the box which helped them a lot. "Yeah. I only caught them together last term at the end when everyone came through the portal." From... the monster. Shudder.
"That's cool. Do they act like soulmates?" And they did say opposites attracted. Noelle pushed the balls of dough into the oven and went to wait for them to be done. Fifteen minutes.
"What can we do for fifteen minutes?" She asked as she went back to the table and sat on top of it.

They looked quite good! Now it's time to take them out from the oven and cool them off for a while.
Olivia smiled, watching Ava as she spoke about her niece and nephew. That was so sweet! She could really tell how much Ava cared about both of them. "Terrific! Does he know what house he wants to be in?" she asked with a curious smile. It was okay if he didn't know yet. "My brother went to Hogwarts and was a Slytherin. He used to joke about disowning me if I ended up in Gryffindor... He hasn't disowned me yet." She chuckled. Gryffindor was a much better fit for her.
"Ah, I see. Reading books are nice. I prefer a balance between social events and reading books." Though Olivia was stuck on Ava's comment about her brother's looks. Not bad looking? What did that mean? Olivia slightly raised her eyebrow and was tempted to ask Ava if she was trying to suggest... Oh. She'd have to keep an eye out for this boy though she had her eye on someone else. Ava seemed nice and so Olivia was sure that Teddy must have been nice too.
Nothing else to do now. Alright Captain! Olivia was about to take a seat but when Ava suggested that she could try the cream, she grinned. Right! She was a test taster after all. "I feel like I should have one of those judges' clipboards. Like the ones they have on the baking shows." She grabbed a small teaspoon from the draw, dipped it into the mixture, and then licked the spoon clean. Mm... That was good. "Mm... That's really good. You should try it too. It's not too sweet." Now Olivia couldn't wait to try the rest. Then with her spoon, she headed to the sink to wash it with warm water and soap. Once clean, she dried it and then slipped it back into the drawer. Probably using magic would have made it easier but Olivia was a fan of the muggle way. Reliable. Grabbing the oven mitts, she passed them to Ava. "Do you want the mitts or do you want me to take them out of the oven?" Olivia was good with either option!
"SEE AURORA? WE FOUND IT!" cried Irene as she flailed her arms wildly as they entered the kitchens. YUM. She was starving and wanted something delicious. Maybe they could even bake something in here?? OOh. That'd be fun. "Hello!" she called out to students and house elves alike with a wide grin. Irene liked meeting new people. It was fun especially when food was involved.

Hmmmm... She had no idea what house Keenan would be when he's coming to Hogwarts. But there was one thing that she was sure. "Probably not Gryffindor. I just don't see him as a lion." Even though Alana was a lioness like her. "The rest of my family are Slytherin, except me and Teddy so... There is a possibility that he will follow his father's footstep." Or not. Ava didn't mind which house would be her nephew's home for his seventh years at Hogwarts.
Ooooh, was Olivia interested about her brother? She could introduce her to Teddy, but maybe it was not going to be a good idea. Ava had tried million ways (pls) to make him have a date or something but it's never been successful. Whether Teddy was just not interested in girls or in a relationship at all, it was just a mystery.
Judges' clipboard? Hehe. The Gryffindor let out a laugh. "If only there is another person is also baking some cookies here, we can have some kind of baking competition." It would be fun, wouldn't it? Hearing that Olivia liked the frosting, she just smiled. "Thanks." And now she moved to the oven and about to take the cookies out. Ava almost forgot to wear oven mittens but thankfully Olivia got those. "Never mind, I'll do it." Because her only job now was to eat the cookies! After the cookies were out, she let them cool for a moment before putting some frosting. "Here you go. They're still a bit too warm for the cream cheese frosting but you can still eat it now if you want." Or just waited a little bit longer until they're cool enough.

So many new studentsies at Hogwarts! So many new Masters and Missesess to keep happy and away from his kitchen. The house elvsies had more meals to prepare and Algamus had to make sure they weren't distracted by the studentsies around.
OH.
Algamus was running around the kitchen in a hurry when he noticed the man looking around, confused. "Master Kennedy, what can Algamus do for you?" Did the library need sweeping?

Oooooh. Studentsies! American studentsies too. In his kitchen. Algamus looked at the girls and grumbled unhappily. Studentsies could never wait for the food, it seemed. The house elvsie pointed at them with his trusted broomstick. "Missusses, can Algamus help you?"
"SEE AURORA? WE FOUND IT!" cried Irene as she flailed her arms wildly as they entered the kitchens. YUM. She was starving and wanted something delicious.

Aurora grinned as she watched her friend run in to the kitchens, arms flailing about like those inflatable tube men things. It was always amusing how excited she got about EVERYTHING. She followed, sniffing the air as she entered. MMMM CHOCOLATE! And something cheesy too! Where did she START?
"This food is LEGENDARY. I can't believe some of our peers were complaining about this stuff," she told her as she walked over to a table, peering over all the baked goods like a No-Maj picking out a new car.
She grinned at a house elf nearby - who didn't seem TOO enthused about their arrival - and batted her eyelashes in a friendly, inviting way. "Oh, hello! We were just looking for a midnight snack. Any suggestions?" she asked.
Irene nodded her head several times at Aurora's comment. Sometimes people did complain too much which saddened her. Why couldn't they just go with the flow and explore and have fun? "Yeah... it's sad but we shouldn't let al the negative energy and complaints get us down. We're here to work and have fun!" she beamed happily, doing a quick spin before stopping. With a smirk, she glanced at Aurora. "Any cute boys? I danced on the table with Isaiah at the feast." She giggled at the thought. She still needed to take him up on the dance.
And she saw a house elf! How cuteeeeee. Though Irene thought it'd be stupid to mention how cute the house elf was to his face. He probably wouldn't like being called cute. Irene certainly didn't- but then again- she'd gotten used to over the years.Were they interrupting his work? "Hello... umm just looking around for a midnight snack... what Aurora said" she said. "I'm Irene!" Introductions were important especially for every creature, wizard, or No-mag. In her mind, they were all equals.

Ava didn't mind which house would be her nephew's home for his seventh years at Hogwarts.
Ooooh, was Olivia interested about her brother? She could introduce her to Teddy, but maybe it was not going to be a good idea. Ava had tried million ways (pls) to make him have a date or something but it's never been successful. Whether Teddy was just not interested in girls or in a relationship at all, it was just a mystery.
Judges' clipboard? Hehe. The Gryffindor let out a laugh. "If only there is another person is also baking some cookies here, we can have some kind of baking competition." It would be fun, wouldn't it? Hearing that Olivia liked the frosting, she just smiled. "Thanks." And now she moved to the oven and about to take the cookies out. Ava almost forgot to wear oven mittens but thankfully Olivia got those. "Never mind, I'll do it." Because her only job now was to eat the cookies! After the cookies were out, she let them cool for a moment before putting some frosting. "Here you go. They're still a bit too warm for the cream cheese frosting but you can still eat it now if you want." Or just waited a little bit longer until they're cool enough.
"That's fair," she nodded. Ava seemed content with whatever house her younger cousin ended up in. It was nice to see. Olivia had heard of certain families wanting to keep their children in the same house as their parents. That philiosophy seemed archaic to her but it was all a matter of preference.
Olivia laughed. "Merlin! Then we'll have to do it again. Who would you choose to compete against?" she asked with a curious grin and then handed the mitts to Ava. Mm.. The cookies smelled amazing. Fresh, delicious, and perfect. She licked her lips as she eyed them. Ooh. Delicious. She quickly picked up a cookie and passed it back and forth between her fingertips. Hot. Hot. Hot!! She blew on it and then took a bite of the cookie, letting the flavours interact. It tasted somewhat like chocolate cake. "That's delicious. You need to eat one too!"

Hmmmm... If there was a baking competition, who's going to be her competitor? "I have a friend who is also good in baking. Oliver, the Slytherin prefect. So it would be fun if I have to compete against him" She said. Oh yeah, probably they should bake together sometime since Ava didn't remember if she and Olly had done it before.
And now it's the moment of truth. She's not going to lie but when Olivia took a bite of the cookie, she was nervous as hell. What if she did not like it? Of course that her opinion mattered since they just met and didn't really know each other very much. Sometimes a stranger's opinion was the most honest of all, no biased. But hearing that the cookie was delicious, Ava let out a relieved sigh. "Really?" She asked as she took one and bit it. Hmmmm... Yeah, it was good. Probably it would taste better with the frosting. Ooooh, she had an idea! Ava took one cookie and put some generous amount of frosting on the top of it, and then layered it with another cookie. "Now try this." She said to Olivia.

OH.
Algamus was running around the kitchen in a hurry when he noticed the man looking around, confused. "Master Kennedy, what can Algamus do for you?" Did the library need sweeping?
Kalen was still looking around for the chocolate cake when he heard a small voice address him and he looked down and smiled at the house elf. "Hello Algamus, I was just looking for some cake. My niece said she baked some earlier.. and I came down here to find it.. as well as some milk? " The Librarian glanced around for a moment before moving his gaze back down to the House elf..
"Do you think you could help me find those things?" He asked curiously..
Irene nodded her head several times at Aurora's comment. Sometimes people did complain too much which saddened her. Why couldn't they just go with the flow and explore and have fun? "Yeah... it's sad but we shouldn't let al the negative energy and complaints get us down. We're here to work and have fun!" she beamed happily, doing a quick spin before stopping. With a smirk, she glanced at Aurora. "Any cute boys? I danced on the table with Isaiah at the feast." She giggled at the thought. She still needed to take him up on the dance.
And she saw a house elf! How cuteeeeee. Though Irene thought it'd be stupid to mention how cute the house elf was to his face. He probably wouldn't like being called cute. Irene certainly didn't- but then again- she'd gotten used to over the years.Were they interrupting his work? "Hello... umm just looking around for a midnight snack... what Aurora said" she said. "I'm Irene!" Introductions were important especially for every creature, wizard, or No-mag. In her mind, they were all equals.
Aurora giggled. Leave it to Irene to make friends with the house elf. "And I'm Aurora," she told him. Even though Irene had basically introduced them already. She looked around and spotted a nearby stack of chocolate brownies. MMMM! She normally didn't eat sweets - had to keep up her girlish figure and everything - but when in Rome, right?
Or Hogwarts more specifically.
Taking a bite out of the brownie, she hopped up on one of the nearby counters and started swinging her legs back and forth. "The Gryffindor prefect is pretty cute, Deo's cousin? And of course ALLL the boys selected to compete against us are definite eye candy," she added with a smirk. Still, she'd still not made it through all the boys at her own school whose hearts she intended to break - and now she had to deal with Hogwarts boys too! It was quite overwhelming. Good thing she could handle it - and she had Irene to help pick up the pieces of the boys who justtt missed the mark in her book. She was sure her friend wouldn't mind one bit.
"I saw all that - I'm so glad I got out of there before my eyes got stuck in an eye roll position from all the negativity being spewed around the Slytherin table," she grumbled before taking another bite of brownie. "OH! The Westwood boys are here too! LOTS of our peers apparently up and moved to England recently," she added. It was weird, who would want to leave America to come to England, where it was hardly ever sunny??

Oliver? The Slytherin Prefect? OH! She knew him. She had run into him back in Diagon Alley. "I know him! He's awesome," she said with a nod. He had always been kind to her during her first year and very helpful. She had appreciated all of his help. "We could definitely organize something for sure."
Olivia would definitely buy this at a bakery. Seriously Ava was good enough to sell these at a bakery. She was a fan. "Yes, really!" she said and wanted Ava to take a bite of the delicious cookie. Then she watched as Ava slathered on a good amount of frosting on top of the cookie and she licked her lips while watching it. It looked so good! Mm... She wouldn't say no to trying something different. "Yes, sure!" she said with a grin and then took a bite of the cookie with the cheese cream frosting on top. Oh Merlin. Now that was just heavenly. "It's so gooooooood. Heavenly almost." She could just take a whole batch of these.
Aurora giggled. Leave it to Irene to make friends with the house elf. "And I'm Aurora," she told him. Even though Irene had basically introduced them already.

It was weird, who would want to leave America to come to England, where it was hardly ever sunny??
True, Hogwarts was like...MAJESTIC. But still.
And Aurora found some BROWNIES. Hold up Aurora was eating brownies. Of her friend was eating them, then they must be delicious. By Scamander's suitcase! That was surely quick! She headed over to where Aurora had the brownies and took one. Mm... they looked absolutely D.I.V.I.N.E. At the mention of Deo's cousin, Irene nodded. The Prefect was cute indeed. "Are you gonna go after him? He is cute. He also seems like a nice guy. I think a couple of Hogwarts girls have a crush on him. A few of them didn't like it when I was a bit too friendly with him," smirked Irene. She always enjoyed a good competition but she knew her friend enjoyed it more than she. Smirk. "Deo is also cute in a brooding way, y'know. Isaiah is a babe." Isaiah was HOT. Actually a lot of their classmates were HOT. They were very lucky #blessed.
People being negative Nancy's weren't ever fun. She was glad Aurora had managed to escape. She was about to take a bite of the delicious brownie when she heard that Brent the Hottie Westwood was a Hogwartian now. Wait. She knew that. He was a fellow competitor. It was just weird to see that Brent and his brother had moved here. They had always been quite nice people. "The Westwoods? I had a majorly embarrassing crush on Brent my first year. I barely spoke a word to him. Do you remember that?" She had been so flustered but now talking to boys wasn't tough especially when she liked them. "The American Invasion?" she joked. "Would you move to Hogwarts?"
Irene had considered it before because of all the history that lay beneath the walls of this wonderful castle. But would she ever manage it? Probably not.

"He's good, and I don't think I'm able to defeat him though." Olly was such a great baker and person in general, she admit that. "But well, bake-off session with him would be fun! You should be one of the judges too." And maybe Noelle and... Probably not Phillip because he would be biased.
Ava couldn't help but grinned happily when her fellow lioness loved the cookies! Now she would mark red velvet cookies as one of her favorite recipe. Probably she would bake these more sometime later and shared them to her friends. "How about if we split? I mean... I will give you half of these cookies and I'll take the rest." As a gratitude for being her cookie tester. Plus, Olivia loved them! "Or, I can bake them more if you want." Like, right now. Hehehe.

Olly baked? Olivia didn't even know that. That was fantastic! At the mention of her being one of the judges, Olivia grinned. "I'd love that. That would be fun. Maybe we could even make it a school wide competition and publish it on the student bulletin board?" she said, thinking about the whole logistics. That would be a lot of work. If they had time... Maybe. It'd be best to start small. "Starting with a small group is probably a better idea."
When Ava offered to give her some of the cookies, Olivia blinked. Oh wow. Really? She hadn't expected to be getting half the cookies from the baking experience. "Really? That would be lovely. Are you sure?" she asked, double-checking. She felt bad for not really being much help when it came to these fantastic cookies. "If you're certain then I'll definitely help you out with takin some of those cookies. They're too good to refuse. I'll have to be more restrained when it comes to them or I might eat them all."
The kitchens? ...Okay. She'd already agreed to go on this walk with him. She was at his mercy.
Great! Yeah. Of course. She always had to start small. It was fine. As long as she learned in time. And it wasn't like she was getting tested on that. "Thank you!"
And she'd follow.
Walking walking WAAAALKINGGGG to the KITCHEEENNNS! Paul smiled over at Lucy as they did so. "I'm thinking we make hot cocoa and finish our chat in the common room. If you want," he nodded. "And maybe you can treat me to some guitar playing."
They were doing a lot of moving around.
Paul didn't mind; he probably needed the extra exercise, honestly. "What do you like with your hot cocoa? Marshmallows? Sprinkles? Cookie straws?" Ahem. All things Paul enjoyed on his >.> "Whipped topping?"

Irene had considered it before because of all the history that lay beneath the walls of this wonderful castle. But would she ever manage it? Probably not.
Chewing thoughtfully, Aurora shrugged. "Not sure. I WANT to have fun here, but I also don't want my head to get all muddied up before competition," she told her. Her friend should know that if there was one thing Aurora took more seriously than her flirting, it was a good competition. There was an entire scholarship on the line - she was NOT losing! "Although that Kenning boy, the one in the competition with us...he is yummy, I won't deny that!" GRIN.
"Oh yes," she giggled at Irene's crush from first year. Aurora had been that way too. Absolutely BOY CRAZY. She was still that way at times, to be completely honest. "Move here? Hmm...probably not. Although it might be fun to come here for university. So many options here, and I'd love to travel," she added. Just not at the moment. She still felt too...young to be away from her family and friends on a whole different continent.
"I wonder why everyone transferred," she wondered aloud before taking another bite of her brownie. MMM. That was good. She finished it and promptly grabbed another. CHEAT DAY!

Irene nodded in agreement. Aurora was right. Boys could mess with your heart AND head pretty badly. No boy would ruin there chance. Def not. The Kenning boy was cute. "Yeah, he's pretty sweet. Maybe there will be a task that involves us to pair off in small teams?" she wondered. Now that would be interesting. What if the competition paired them up with people they necessarily didn't get along with and then they HAD to work together. She liked and disliked the sound of that. "You can always ask him to get a drink as friendly competitors." Irene gave her friend a wink at idea. teehee.
Come here for University? Now that was a good idea. To Aurora's statement, Irene provided a hypothesis. "I think Hogwarts has an allure to it. Perhaps its all the history here or the near death experiences that people have had. Thrill seekers may come here," she chuckled. Personally she'd love to transfer here. The history, the culture, the attractive students with AHMAZING ACCENTS, the Professors.... She had met so many nice people already; however, she would hate to leave her close friends behind. That would be rough.

They certainly were doing a lot of moving around. Lucy didn't mind, though.
She nodded excitedly. "That sounds great." Hot chocolate sounded nice and their common room was so cozy...though, not very private. But she loved playing her guitar and wanted to show Professor Myers.
"Marshmallows and whipped creme," she grinned.
