I walked into the kitchens and looked around. I saw a few house elves and said hi to them as I walked over the fridge.
"I wonder if there's any pineapple in here..." I said to myself looking in the fridge.

I jump a little when someone walks into the kitchens, although Andra had warned me that more people went there than she'd thought. I look down at the massive piece of cake I've been gobbling and feel my face flush, self-conscious as usual about eating in front of someone. He's going to notice I'm here eventually though, so I cough and decide to be friendly.
"Probably not, but sounds good," I shrug, smashing down the cake so that it will look like less.

I jump and turn around when someone says something, "I didn't see you there, haha" I say slightly laughing, I look at the cake she was eating, "That looks good though... I think I'll find that, haha" I grab a piece of cake and sit down at the table with her, "I'm Riley by the way" I tell her smiling.

"Arden Patricks," I nod, smiling almost apologetically. You are disgusting. "A friend of mine told me how to find the kitchens 'cause I missed dinner... what brings you here?"

"Nice to meet you" I tell her smiling then, "Ah, that bites..." I tell her, "I mean, that you missed dinner, not that you're friend told you how to get here, ha" I say laughing a little, "I was kinda hungry" I add laughing and then taking a bite of my cake.

I laugh and stab vaguely at my own cake, smushing it down even more. "So... how'd you know how to get in? I thought it was supposed to be some big secret." I smile and take a bite of cake, dabbing at my mouth with a napkin even though there's nothing there.

"One of my friends told me a while back" I tell her smiling as I poke my cake with my fork, "It's surprising how many people know how to get here" I add chuckling, then taking another bite of my cake.

"Very," I nod, forgetting for a moment as I take a big bite, then flushing and hiding my face in my napkin again. Then I laugh. "My friend was traumatized when she saw people in here... she thought that her big sister was one of the only people who knew. But I guess there aren't many secrets around here."

I chuckle quietly to myself as I see her flush, "Secrets don't exsist at Hogwars" I tell her laughing, "Unless you keep them completely to yourself, ha" I add smiling and taking an even bigger bite than she just did.

"Yeah... 'cause that's real successful." I snort lightly, then smile. "I usually can't keep secrets about anything. If you want my life story in all its gory details, all you have to do is ask... or not ask. I'll probably tell you either way." I squish the cake again and pull it off the fork with my mouth, not blushing this time. Aha! And I can eat in the presence of strangers!

I laugh a little, "Personally, I can usually keep a secret, haha" I tell her smiling, "And if you feel the need to tell me everything about yourself, be my guest, haha" I eat some more cake

"Nah.." I make a face. "Most of it you probably don't want to hear, and I'm trying to be less self-absorbed, self-conscious, and self-pitying... not working well so far." I shrug and take a bite of cake. "So... what year and house are you?"

"You don't get the impression you're any of those things right now" I tell her as she takes a bite of cake, "I'm a 7th year Ravenclaw, What about you?" I ask her taking another bite.

"Hmm..." I shrug. "Well, maybe most of it's self-conscious... but most of the time I'm pretty whiny." I smile slightly. "And I'm a sixth-year Hufflepuff... not smart enough for Ravenclaw, also a bit of a coward, but also not a git."
You need some new material, darling. It's getting boring just listening to yourself.
((Gah! Have to go.... I'll be back in about twenty minutes, though.))

"Okay, whatever you say" I tell her smiling, "But you don't seem that whiny, haha" I say joking slightly, "But that's cool, I'm smart, but I'm not the brightest crayon in the box, haha" I chuckle.

I shrug. "Maybe it's working then... But... crayon?" I frown, and then remember. "Oh! Those muggle coloring things.... I used Merlin's Magical... something or other... myself, but I've heard of crayons." I nod. "And I'm sure you're not that dull." I smile.

"Yeah, haha, half my family are muggles so I forget not everybody uses them," I say chuckling, "I just get confused easily and don't get things right away, haha, some would call me blonde... but I do kind of have blonde hair... Eh, oh well, haha" I say laughing slightly.

"Mm... more of a honey color," I nod, laughing. "So... are muggles interesting? And is one of your parents muggle or what?" I take another bite of cake, so curious that I'm not remotely self-conscious about it this time.

Post by Riley Pearson on Oct 5, 2007 20:49:48 GMT
I laugh, "Yeah... I guess you could call it honey... haha" I say to her, "I don't know, I've lived around them pretty much my whole life so it's hard to say, they're just like us." I begin to tell her, "Well, I'm pureblood, but my mom married a muggle. So I have a muggle step-dad and step-sister."

Post by Arden Patricks on Oct 5, 2007 20:52:46 GMT
"Ohhh... wow. Cool." I laugh a little. "Sorry... my parents were very... pro-pureblood, and I always wanted to know more about muggles. I'd like to tell them they're just like us." I frown slightly as I eat some more squished cake, then shrug. "You got any other siblings? What's your family like?"

"Oh.. well, maybe you'll be able to one day" I tell her with a slight smile after eating another piece of cake, "Nah, There's just Lilian my little sister, me, mum and dad." I tell her smiling a little wider, "I love my family, haha, they're kinda crazy, but they're fun to be around..." I say chuckling slightly, "What about you? Any siblings?"

I hesitate, then nod. "Yes... seventh year Slytherin here. We... don't get along though," I shrug. "Maybe after school I'll go live in the muggle world for a while... I just hope I don't slip up and have them lock me in a padded room for not knowing how to use the... tel-a-phone," I sound out, laughing. "So... how old is your sister exactly?"

"That's a bummer that you guys don't get along..." I say to her my smile slightly fading, "But I can gaurentee that they won't lock you away, haha, nothing's really as hard as it seems." I tell her slightly smiling again, "She just turned 10 a couple days ago"

"Cute," I smile. "And sure, you'd say that... you know what to do. I mean, Chance starts going on about lektrical appliances and... cars... or if I take a look at someone's Muggle Studies book... yeesh," I shiver slightly, then run a finger over the rim of my milk glass, thinking about the first thing he said, and about the fights I keep having with Fitzy.
Maybe he really means it....
Then I shrug and take a bite of cake, squishing all the rest of it into the center of the plate.

"Well, I grew up with it," I tell her shrugging, "I'm sure you'd get used to it eventually" I add smiling, "Is Chance your boyfriend?" I ask her taking another bite of my cake.

A few crumbs spray out of my mouth as I choke with laughter, and I wipe them off the table with my napkin as I shake my head. "Uh... no. Oh... Merlin's beard, no." I laugh again. "Just a friend of a friend... my year and house," I shrug. "He's muggleborn though, so I pester him with questions a lot." I take a sip of milk and shake my head, still amused.

I laugh as I see cake crumbs fly in multiple directions, "Okay, haha," I say to her still laughing, "You should have seen your face though," I add grinning eating some cake, "Priceless..." I add after swallowing

"Hm... poor Chance," I say, still laughing weakly. "If by any chance you ever meet him, please for the sake of his pride don't ever tell him that I laughed so hard." I shake my head. "So... um..." I wipe some moisture from my eyes. "You attached at all?" I shrug, not sure what else to ask.

Post by Riley Pearson on Oct 5, 2007 21:48:32 GMT
I chuckle, "It's a deal" I say smiling, "My lips are sealed" I push some cake around the plate still smiling, "By attached, do you mean have a girlfriend?" I ask her chuckling a little, "If so, the yes"

"Yeah, that was it," I nod, shrugging. "Just curious... who is it?" I ask, scraping the last bits of cake and frosting together. Most likely I don't know her, but possibly.
