Once you've tickled the pear and turned the knob, the Hogwarts kitchen will be revealed to you. Located directly beneath the Great Hall, the kitchen is a high-ceilinged room with five identical tables to the ones in the dining room above. Unlike the room situated above however, heaped around the walls are large quantities of pots and pans. On one end of the room are shelves of plates and utensils, stoves, sinks, and a large brick fireplace.

Here numerous house-elves are working on the castle's next meal when they aren't tending to their other duties as employees of the school. The team of house-elves have specific assignments to accomplish inside the kitchen, whether it is to cook, wash the plates and cutlery, keep the pantry stocked, place more wood into the fire, or set the tables before everything is summoned to its exact replicas overhead. Though the house-elves are incredibly busy, they will surely serve you a snack ... if you aren't asking Algamus. Or you can, of course, make your own food. Just don't leave a mess behind!

OOC: Please do not role-play for the House-Elves.

POP!

The sound made her jump a little in surprise. Looking over her shoulder she smiled brightly at her company. She was sure to be able to find what she was looking for on her own but Quirly clearly was more than ready to help her. "Hello, Quirly. I was looking for the ingredients to my favorite snack... could you tell me where the mint cocoa power is please?" And possibly the rest of the things she needed as well before she did end up making a mess.

Hopping down off the chair she had been standing on she pulled out her wand to cast a quick cleaning charm on it. No one would like to sit on a dirty chair that she had stood on. Slipping her wand into it's holster she turned back to start spreading peanut butter onto a slice of bread.

"Hey, Dorian!" Rylee wigged her fingers at him in greeting. "My most favorite snack ever! I can make you one too if you like?" That was if he liked peanut butter, jelly, fluff and banana sandwiches and mint hot cocoa.

Her most favorite snack ever?

Dorian raised one of his eyebrows as he looked at her, "Well, that's specific" he said with a hint of a grin. He wasn't a mind reader, she knew that right? He knew there was a branch of magic that looked like mind reading , legilimency. He had read about it when he had been looking up something for his transfiguration homework and had picked up the wrong book. But it wasn't something he had been super interested in.

He walked over to the edge of one of the long House tables and sat down, placing his elbow on top and supported his chin on his hand. "I'm cool with anything....except milk" he made a face. "I don't like milk" a short pauze... "Chocolate milk doesn't count" cause it wasn't purely milk.

"I'd offer my help but the only thing i've learned to cook is some cookie that Professor Marchand taught me.....and that was too difficult" he laughed. He didn't even remember the ingredients and he was usually good at remembering things. Shame though, cause he had been really interested to learn. Maybe he should practice at home and bring a bunch of cookies and give them to the Professor as proof that he could make them?

As he thought about it, his eyes went over to the house elves and a thought he had been wanting to ask Rylee for some time now suddenly popped in his mind. "How do you know all these house elves by name?" he asked. To him they were just house elf 1 house elf 2 etc.

While Beth gathered the ingredients for the cinnamon rolls, Quinn busied herself with setting up. Mixing bowls, pans, whisks, etc. She smirked at the mention of Daniel, but said nothing. "And Reese. Reese gets some too."

At the mention of summer, Quinn paused. Summer was a tricky subject for her. On the one hand, everything was going to change for the better, and she'll have a new family that actually cared about her. The excitement of it danced through her with a nervous energy. But on the other hand, she was drowning in anxiety and fear; that it was all going to come crashing down on her and she'd end up hurt worse than ever before. Her mind kept jumping to just running away before anything happened, and she got hurt, and Quinn had to constantly talk herself out of it.

Nor did it help that she wasn't exactly happy at Hogwarts. That's just threw more fuel on her compulsion to run. But Quinn had already talked to Puck and Vince about that via letters and the mirror and that was being fixed either way.

"Summer will be fun," she agreed hesitantly. "Pack in as much time together as we can before next year..." Quinn had already told Beth about her plan to transfer out of Hogwarts after this year, but every time she mentioned or hinted at it, she felt as anxious about how Beth might react as she did the first time. "You're not mad at me, are you?" asked Quinn, for what might have been the 50th time this month.

Beth just sighed, rolling her eyes in H E R overly dramatic fashion. The dramatic way that screamed she that she was searching for attention, for something more even at her young age. ”Quinnlin Moon, puhlease I do not need to relax,” no, more likely she needed to be lobotomized. Still, she wasn’t going to say that right now or ever. ”I’m not not relaxed, I’m simply concerned because unlike you I’m going to be here next year…and I don’t want to accidentally poison anyone with my baking” sure she was anything but relaxed but that was more due to the idea she had postilized to Quinn the last time she spoke with her.

Dosing their friend with an extra zip of confidence…really, it was more Professor Stick-in-the…y’know that made her nervous than anything else. He’d have a conniption if he knew her plan. ”of course, but he doesn’t need a S P E C I A L dose, Daniel needs the special variety…we already agreed on that,” Beth grinned knowing Quinn would understand.

Still, she wouldn’t be able to help her…or…maybe she could ”next year will you still help me with the potion? Y’know, like send me ideas talk to me on the mirrors?” she hoped she would, knew she would. YES, as much things together as possible was a must. ”if they don’t mind I’d abscond with you for the entire summer, I mean it. The entire summer.” it was happening even if she needed to stow away in Quinn's trunk.

Casting a glance his way, Rylee simply smiled. “A peanut butter, jelly, fluff and banana sandwich,” That was her most favorite snack ever. “And mint hot cocoa… if Quirly knows where the mint is kept.” Hot cocoa was yummy but it was much better when it was minty.

Now it was her turn to raise an eyebrow at him in question. “Not even with cookies?” Everyone knew milk and cookies went together. Unless you were allergic to milk but otherwise it was like an unwritten rule or something. “Chocolate milk is yummy… but I like strawberry lots too.” The pink color was much prettier as well.

A small giggle slipped past her lips. “I’m not a great cook either but I can make a few easy things.” Cookies she could bake since she always baked at home with her brother and sister. “Do you want a sandwich? I can make you one.” Since she already had everything out it wouldn’t be hard to make another one for him. Rylee feel quiet for a moment turning her attention back onto her sandwich making. There needed to be just the right amount of peanut butter, jelly and fluff so the bananas wouldn’t over power anything.

“I see them all a lot and talk to them. Each one is very different and always super helpful. Plus they’re always happy to tell you which one they are if you don’t know.” In the beginning she had trouble remembering who was who but over time she got used to the way each spoke and what each one liked.

Peanut butter jelly fluff and banana sandwich? Eh...he hoped those were seperate things cause the combination sounded very strange to him. But she seemed to be positive about it and , well he couldn't judge something he had never tried before. "Alright, i want to try one" or two if it was as good as this girl was making it out to be.

Dorian made a face and shook his head. "Not even with cookies." Everyone had something they did not like. And for him one of those things was milk. Yuck. The reason why he did like chocolate milk was because the chocolate would mask the taste of milk.

"can i help with something? I feel weird just sitting here" he said. Even if he was terrible in the kitchen, doing nothing felt worse. "Something small please, i don't want the kitchen to become a war zone and the elves having to clean it up..." he laughed, scratching the back of his neck as he did so.

Ah, so she talked to the house elves. Made sense. He wasn't much of a people person to begin with as he mostly kept to himself. So house elves weren't any different. "Maybe i should start communicating with them as well" he said and pointed to the one Rylee had been talking to earlier. "What's her name?"

*Kolyander* · 07-27-2018, 11:42 AM

Yup! Peanut butter jelly fluff and banana sandwich. All together on the same sandwich. Even though Dorian didn't seem as positive about it the fact he was willing to try it made her smile. "Great!"

Rylee giggled. "What's your favorite drink?" Obviously it wasn't milk.

"Sure! Could you slice up the banana's?" she asked casting a quick sideways glance over at him as she pulled out two more slices of bread. Having him slice the banana up for her would be a huge help while she got the rest of their sandwiches prepared.

Rylee smiled nodding her head. "You definitely should. Their all really very nice." Not to mention super helpful! "Quirly, she loves to help almost as much as she loves using her spatula, right Quirly?" Giggling she gave the house elf a warm friendly smile.
