Derrick made his grand entrance into the kitchen space. His stomach was grumbling; screaming for food. He had been in the library all day arranging mountain of books which the ungrateful students had left around and never bother to return to the shelves. He missed not only lunch, but dinner as well. The house elf was nowhere in sight, he tip toed around the kitchen opening every drawer and cabinet to find something to eat. His stomach started to play a soft sad tune and he got hungrier by the minute, where could all the minions put the leftover food? They can't have finished it all, can they?
Aha! Bread! Finally, after a wide res- eh, search for food, Derrick found a load of bread in one of the close cabinet. He sniffed the bread to make sure it was still good to eat, doesn't matter anyway, he was too hungry he would eat anything even an ant if it can calm his hunger. He looked around for some butter, or jam or anything that'd be nice to eat with the loaf of bread in the same cabinet and found nothing other than crumbs of bread. He moved over to the drawer at the bottom of the cabinet and pulled it open finding a couple bottles of jam, he took one without caring which flavour it was and went on to search for a knife.
Looking for food in the kitchen at late hours are similar to looking for a needle in a haystack. It was almost impossible and Derrick was tired of looking. He was definitely going to suggest to the school administrative to start putting labels on the drawers and cabinet for easier usage. How did the elf work in the mess? How did they even find anything around the place? Derrick pulled out another drawer and found a knife, finally! He strutted towards the high stool and put everything on the table before starting to slice the bread and spreading the jam over it. After a long day, Derrick finally got to eat in peace...

Spending all day reading, really isn't good for you health. Sure it's educating, you learn alot of new things and its really interesting. But there always has to be downsides for things! It sure makes you hungry just sitting there reading, skipping your breakfast, your lunch and your supper. Not to mention the fact that the libary was freezing cold. Daniel walked around looking for a portrait of a bowl of fruit. It had to be around here somwhere. It had been a while since Daniel had visited the kitchens. It must have been when he was in his third year. But he wasn't a prefect back then and he didn't have the right to wonder the coridoors at night, without getting a detention or house points taken. Eventually he found the portrait of a bowl of fruit. If he remeberd rightly, it was the pear he had to tickle. Daniel reached out his trembling arm (due to the fact he was starving) and tickled the pear. The pear gave a giggle and the portrait swung open to reveal the kitchen. The kitchen was almost the size of the great hall. Inside there were no house elves at all, which was strange. Only a man was in there. Daniel rememberd him as the libarian. He saw him eating. Daniels stomach gave a gurgle. "Is there any food or me left?" He asked politely.

Simon walked to the Kitchens, maybe, if he was quick, he could catch some Elf, and let that make his dinner. By now they knew what he liked, how raw his meat should be, and what not to give him.
Changes had always made him hungry, and now he was a Prefect, he could wander the corridors at night, without getting scolded. He remeber this one thime in second year, where some Gryffindor git prefect had scolded him. Well, he hadn't laughed that hard for a long time when the Slytherin Head of House had come to see how he did.
When he came to the pear he tickled it and walked in, to find no House Elves, but the Librarian, and some Hufflepuff.
Allright. What are these two people doing here? On MY night in the kitchen?
"So, where are all the House Elves?"

Click. Clack. Click. Clack Her heels loudly rapped against the floor as she made her way down the hall. Whiney students... Ugh.. they were such a pain. 'Oh nurse, I got a paper cut waaah' 'Nurse i've got a zit the size of texas' 'WAAH I HAVE RUNNY NOSE' Boohoo. All those complaints were driving her insane. Not to mention her stomach had been roaring like a lion. Stinkin brats made me miss dinner She growled viciously in her head, Pausing in her tracks momentarily and looking both ways. "Now where was that..." The kitchens... a place she only visited a few times as a child. "Thats right" she nodded. It was right... Right?? She shook her head, proceeding with a right turn. Her smile widdened at the portrait of the fruit. Of course, that picture always looked ugly but... it was what hide behind it that counted. Her stomach grumbled in joy. "... okay... im here... anddd," Great.. what did they hafta do again? Tango with the mango? .... hmmmm... That did rhyme and all... I dont ever remember dancing for the portrait. Scratching her head lightly she stared at the portrait for a few moments before BAM it suddenly hit her. Tickle the pear!Smiling proudly, she got on her tippie toes and gently tickled the pear. It let out a tiny giggle before the portrait swung open revealing the large kitchens... which were filled with unusually large house elves. Whaaat? "Since when did house elves grow so tall?" she said while examining the three "... or wear clothes..." In her head she tried to put two and two together. Clothes... height... clothes... height. "OOOH! I get it." she nodded. "You guys are like a new mixed breed of elf and giant." she smiled "Gotcha.. " she gave a small wink before staring at her nails, swattin a hand away "Well.. in that case, i'd like... hmmm..." she looked up from her nails momentarily "Oh! A sandwich would be great"Looking back down at her nails, she picked at the non existant dirty carelessly. After a few moments passing she looked back up "...well? Get cooking, im starving" she snapped her fingers loudly before rolling her eyes and looking back down at her nails "This new breed is so lazy" she mumbled under her breath. Well.. it is a mix of two extremely stupid creatures. Giants with their pea brains... and house elves with their... well... did they even have brains? Whoever thought of the genius idea to breed these two kinds together was clearly out of their mind. The tallness was almost... disturbing. She felt so small.

"...well? Get cooking, im starving"
Simon turned around.
"What? And just for your information, we are people! Geez woman, did you never see another humanbeing before?"
He asked that irritably. Simon looked at the woman, who looked slightly familiar to him. Ah, yes, the school Nurse.
Bah, who is this woman to think she can command me? Just some Nurse. Pah. Bet she didn't even finish Hogwarts.
Simon turned to the Librarian and the Hufflepuff again.
"I asked a question. Where are all the Elves?"

Just when he thought he was left in peace to enjoy his meal, uninvited later comers started to fill into the kitchen and Derrick barely got to answer one question before he got interrupted. Can't a man have his meal without so much of a hassle? Guess not. The only place that he could have peace and quiet was in the library, that is only after he chased out some of the giggling group of girls or some of the trouble maker young man. Children these days.
Derrick grunted under his breath. "Here you go." He handed a slice of bread which he had spread some jam on at the young boy who arrived first and actually politely asked him for a slice of bread. At least the boy have some manner. Good man. As for the two obnoxious stuck ups who can't prepare their own meal... Derrick sighed a little. "You have two hands, there's a cupboard filled with bread, there's a drawer with some bottle of jams in it. Take the bread and jam out, take a knife and get your meal done yourself, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to prepare a nice snack." He said lazily pointing away at the direction as he spoke.
How unbelievably hopeless can a person be? Derrick wouldn't mind making his own meal, sure finding the items was a challenge at first, but, he got to it and doesn't go bossing people around when he doesn't need too.

Daniel took the bread from the Liberian "Thanks" He smiled. He finally had some food. YAY! Although he wasn't going to eat it yet. He didn't want just plain bread. Daniel looked at the Slytherin prefect. How was he to know where the house elves were. It wasn't as if he were there keeper. He had just turned up for something to eat. "I don't know where the house elves are" He stated. He hated the way Slytherins were such rude creatures, with no manners. But he didn't hate them. There is already enough hate in this world. .Tiredly walked over to a work top where some sausages has been left in a bowl. Under his breath he muttered a spell and the sausages cooked. Yummy, finally something to eat. He put his hands in the bowl and picked up a sausage and took a large bite of it. Usually his cooking wasn't any good. He was surprised it tasted quite good, for his cooking. He hoped nobody else would take any of the food he had just cooked. He didn't mind sharing and he would have to if someone asked, but he was too hungry to share.

Kim had only been picking at her nails and examining them when she heard a squeeky oddly irritating voice. Jeez... this new breeds voice is more obnoxious then the stupid house elves... Frowning slightly she looked up from her nails and at the new breed of species... The Gelf. Oh boy. It almost looked human... but that nose, and the ears.. not to mention the dark under it's eyes... hideous. Simply hideous. You'd think if they made a new breed they'd atleast have it look... decent. Hmph.
"... of course i've seen another human before" Maybe this Gelf was in denial. That poor poor poor thing. Maybe it needed a nice potion to clear it's mind... hmmmmm. "Would you be interested in a visit to my office? I could help with your ... confusion" she smiled lightly. Oooh.. perfect person to test my newest potion out on... Doubt it'd know the difference... Were wizards and Gelfs alike? They had to be.... or not?
Her eyes soon caught a Gelf that seemed her age. She took a closer look only to realize this ol' thing couldn't be a Gelf.. He seemed so... wizard-like. Her smile spread on her face lightly as she examined his features. Black lucius hair, dark eyes... oooh and a nice little facial hair pattern. "Two hands? me? ... of course I do." she smiled at him lightly "But we wouldn't want me to break a nail? No no no. Im sure an intelligent man like yourself would understand? Hmmm?" she raised an eyebrow, placing one of her neatly polished nails on his chest.
"I dont believe I had the time to introduce myself. Kimberly Carrows" she smiled "But you can call me Kim." her fingers slowly riding up his chest onto his cheek. Before slowly pulling her arm away. She hopped onto the counter, swinging her legs back and forth lightly. "So what's a man like yourself doing here? Freed the elves?" she joked with a coy smile, eyes glistening onto him. She wasn't too concerned about the others.. They were just Gelfs.. Brainless. They wouldn't understand.

Offtopic: please, let me apologize in advance for the rude behaviour of my charrie. I offended someone before in an RP, while it was just my charrie talking. So don't get mad at me! *Hides* And Daniel, good boy! No House hate! *Yays* ~*~ "Rocket-what? No, never mind. And just for your information. The Elves should be here. They know I would be here! So where do they keep the meat, Oh allknowing mr. Librarian?" Simon smirked. "And no thanks. I'd rather not come anywhere NEAR the Nurses' Office." He thought for a minute and added, as an afterthought: "Unless you got chocolate. Always good after ch... Er.. Chocolate lacking days." He started looking for food and listened to what was being said. Ewww! Nurse flirting with Librarian. Gross. Tssk. Strange notchangers. Dear god. I knew some people were sissies, but this woman beats it. Did they HONESTLY take her for the job of School Nurse? What happened to our old one?

Derrick lost his appetite all in one with all these people in the kitchen and... He just wanted to retread to his safe heaven - the library. He could see now that coming down to the kitchen for a quiet meal was a huge mistake. He should have just stayed in the library and continue to arrange the books in alphabetical order by titles and then by authors and wait for an elf to come around and as him or her to bring up some food for him. I'm sure they wouldn't mind, in fact, most of the time - maybe all the time, the elf seemed pleased when he asked them. He did after all ask nicely. It was the way if you're asking someone or anything to do something for you.
All-knowing? Did he ever claim he was? He was only a librarian, he's not super brain Professor. "They're probably cleaning out the common rooms at this hour." He replied lazily. He knew that sometimes the house elves did a little bit of extra cleaning around the school after all its occupant were fast asleep. And they're the first to get up to prepare breakfast. It wasn't such a big deal trying to get a simple snack done, he guessed that pampered prince just doesn't know his way around the kitchen. "Tray that cabinet..." He pointed at a cabinet on his far left lazily. It was actually a cooler which he had accidentally open earlier, a little bit of chilling out.
Derrick listened boringly as the young woman or maybe a girl? She did looked a little young. But, the way she was acting, it sounded like she was around his age. Derrick almost got confuse when the young woman shift her attention towards him and started to talk... Was she... Flirting with him? Sure her gesture looked like she was, but, Derrick was not the kind who would jump into conclusion quickly even if it hit him square on his forehead. "Huh..." Was all he managed to say in respond to the young woman's remark about breaking her nails. Derrick couldn't care less if she broken every bone, he was only a librarian, not a healer.
Carrows..., the name ring a bell. Derrick had heard it before, someone famous? No... Or else he would have remember about it in a heartbeat. Carrows..., wasn't that the... Nurse? He looked at the young woman blankly, the administrator of the school must be desperate for taking chances on hiring the young woman from where Derrick could see it. "I'm knitting." He replied Kimberly's question sarcastically. It was obvious, in your face sort of thing, they're in the kitchen, what else is there to do? And there was a loaf of bread and a bottle of jam in front of him, need he list more?

Kim had been twirling her hair around her finger absent mindedly, gazing at the man before her. He was just playing hard to get. Which made it a whole lot more fun. She had almost forgot that there were others in the room. ALMOST. That was untill one of the brats opened their mouth. She frowned in annoyance, snapping out of her gaze onto the brat who was ruining her alone time with mr. Mysterious. "...oh. Right. No need to worry. Im sure one of the brats in there has some candy"
Oddly those little kids got so much candy. Even for the littlest things. From a paper cut to a bloody nose. But in a sense it was good, drug the little suckers and take the candy. She pulled out a lollipop from her pocket, sticking it in her mouth. Listening carefully to what mr. mysterious had to say. It was almost cute. His confusion. Sorta like a little boy. With every second passing, she was adoring the guy more and more. He was so... different. It gave working here some fun.
Pulling her lollipop out of her mouth she giggled lightly "Aww, your too cute" batting her eyelashes at him. The way he was staring at her... she knew for sure she had him. Just then it just hit her as he spoke. Knitting? What? .... Was that SARCASM. No... it couldn't be. Never. He wouldn't DARE. "... really?" she said while looking around "I dont see any needles---" she remarked while looking around. Just a knife and bread and unprepared food.
It was quite apparant to her now. It was all clear. This man was really stupid. Like... beyond stupid. Challenged. She gasped loudly, covering her mouth. "Oh my god. Im soooooooo sorry" she said before hopping off the desk walking towards him "You poor thing... I bet you dont understand the difference" she shook her head sympathetically "... these aren't knitting needles" she said while pulling the knife out of his hands. "You aren't knitting... this is called MAKING A SANDWICH" she said loudly before letting out a sigh rubbing her head lightly "Why do the cute ones always turn out so stupid" she mumbled under her breath.

Gwen wandered down the hallway, a book in hand, hungry for a cup of tea. She could have made a cup in her room, but she figured a quiet trip to the kitchens where she could read would be just the thing for a late night outing. She was tired, but wasn't quite ready to head to bed.
Twirling twice down the hall, humming a Christmas tune in her head she came upon the portrait. Stopping short, Gwen turned toward the picture and tickled the pear. A door appeared and she opened the door.
Gwen groaned as she saw the scene spread about her. There were a few students, a young woman, and a young man. What she had expected to be a quiet little outing to herself, had already been flushed down the tubes. ~Well, I might as well brave it now.~
Her sea green chiffon skirt rustled slightly around her legs as she walked to the cabinent and grabbed a mug. She turned on the faucet and let the water begin to heat up. As she did so, she opened her book and began to read. Her mind knew how to fix the rest of her tea without looking.
Trying to ignore all other people in the room, she read and fixed her tea at the same time. Picking up her mug, she made her way to the table and slid into a seat. Taking her first sip of Russian tea, she giggled a bit. The new nurse was absolutely ridiculous. Did she actually think he didn't know what he was doing? Wasn't it quite obvious? What kind of question was that? She was trying to hard to get him to pay attention to her when it was quite obvious the man just wanted to be left alone, it was rather ridiculous. Her tea didn't quite make it all the way to her mouth and spilled onto her white blouse. Gwen jumped up, biting back a squeal of pain. She looked down at her ruined top and sighed. There was nothing she could do now to fix it; she would have to use magic later. She turned her face to all the other people in the room, blushing furiously. ~Not here 24 hours and already I've made a mockery of myself. What more could go wrong?!~ Gwen slid back into her seat, apologizing furiously.
"Sorry everyone. I really don't mean to intrude. I'll just go back to reading now and leave you all be." Gwen ran her hands over her blonde hair that was in a bun, in a slight gesture of embarassment. Her cheeks flushed a bit, and she emmersed herself in her reading, wondering if anyone would make a comment.

Wooh... Silent in here.. Let's get some life back! *Grins*
~*~
Simon muttered.
"Thanks."
He walked to the cabinet, to find a cooler filled with all kinds of meat. He took out a steak, and put it on a plate. He then rummaged through some other cabinets, looking for baking butter, pepper, salt and most important, a big meat fork and a *D*** I forgot the word. Thing you put on the fire to cook things in?* frying pan! *Yay, found the word*
Simon put on the stove and put a big glob of butter in the frying pan.
And now... We wait. Get brown butter.
He leaned against the counter, looking at the other people. Two other students now, the Librarian, the Nurse and the editor of Hogwarts Gazette.
"Wow, isn't this an odd bunch of people?"

Daniel ignored what was going on behind him. The nurse flirting with the librarian. wasn't particularly nice when he was eating. He took some more sausages from the bowl and put them on the bread. Now he needed a knife! There had to be one in here, it was the kitchen! He looked around the surface of where he was standing. There wasn't a knife around. He sighed and looked around. On the other side of the room he spotted a knife on the worktop. Finally! He hoped he wouldn't be stopped by the strange people on the way there or back. Holding a knife with a kitchen full of weirdos wasn't very nice. He walked over to the work top and collected the shiny knife, just prefect for cutting a sandwich in half! He then walked back to the other side of the room holding the knife in a safe position. When he reached the other side of the room he cut his sausage sandwich in half. Finally! He could eat. Daniel picked up one half of the sandwich and took a bite, still ignoring everything going on around him.
