Re: Another Kitchen

[Ronald Weasley - Inactive]

Ron goes even redder, if that's even possible. "I am...it's not...That's completely besides the point!" he stutters. "The point is, you shouldn't have taught her any of that." Turning to his sister, he says, "I will not take it back," he says, rather harshly. "It's not whether you are or not, it's what people see you as. I'm just looking out for you, Ginny!"

[Ginny Weasley]

Ginny can't help but think that Ron just got pwned by Viktor. Seriously, she couldn't have put it better herself. He was clearly just jealous, that's what this whole thing was. "No one is going to see me as a slut," she said in a low tone. "Ron, this is absolutely ridiculous. No one except you and Viktor know what I just did with a banana. No one is going to know! Therefore, their views on the type of person that I am are not going to change. Please, can we just forget all of this?" she asked.

[Viktor Krum - Inactive]

Viktor nods at what Ginny says and decides that it's about time for him to get going. Not like Ron is going to win this argument anyway. "You see that? She's right. No harm done," he says as he walks towards the door, stopping when he gets to Ron and placing the banana in his hands. "Remember. Tight lips, no teeth. And don't be afraid to use your tongue and hands." And then Viktor walked out, leaving Ron to take that as he will.

[Ronald Weasley - Inactive]

Ron starts stares horrified at the banana in his hands. "Fine. Fine. Be like that, then," Ron fumes. "Excuse me for trying to be your older brother. Excuse me for trying to care about your well-being. Sorry I ever gave a damn." And with that, he throws the banana to the ground, squashes it underfoot, and storms out of the kitchen and heads back to Gryffindor Tower.

[Ginny Weasley]

Ginny is wondering why Ron is acting much moodier than how she acts when it's that time of the month. Good grief! The whole situation was utterly ridiculous. In fact, she had nothing really to say, just hoped that she'd meet Viktor again sometime and apologize for her twat of a brother. She allowed Ron to leave in a huff, then sighed. Who knew asking for advice would turn into this? Ginny figured it was best to give Ron time to cool off before talking to him again. After placing her abandoned plate of Shepherd's pie next to the sinks, she then left the kitchens.

[Remus Lupin]

Poor Remus did get sick after spending all that time out in the cold in the Astronomy tower with Jack. Ah well. He's still debating whether to go to the hospital wing or not and, for now, has settled with just going to the kitchens for some tea with honey to help his sore throat. So he's just sitting here, zoning off and drinking some tea. *cue Sirius*

[Guest]

Sirius wanders in, still in a rather foul mood because of Rad and Snape, and stalks over to a house elf, demanding a platter of sammiches, only to find out that they'd heard him coming due to his galumphing, and already prepared one. He grudgingly thanks the elves, and sinks his teeth into a sammich, looking up around at the kitchen and nearly dropping the platter in surprise at seeing Remus. "Ruhhmuss!" he yells through a mouthful of food, happily running over, swallowing his sammich, and hugging his friend, instantly feeling better upon seeing his friend. "Where've you been?"

[Remus Lupin]

Remus is glad he's set his tea cup down, cause he jumps in surprise when he's startled out of his thoughts by the loud, familiar voice of his friend. "Ack!" he sneezes, jerking away and covering his ears. "Please don't yell, Sirius...I'm sick and everything just seems so much more louder than usual..." He hadn't ignored Sirius' question, he'd just forgot about it already cause he was too busy trying not to sneeze again. Why did everything have to feel so gross while being sick?

[Guest]

Eowyn is exactly that kind of sick right now and groans. Sirius, however, puts down his platter, runs to get a box of tissues, runs back, pushes Remus onto the nearest couch, brings him his tea, and shoves the tissues into Remus' hand. "YOU. YOU ARE SICK. THAT IS NOT OKA-- oh. Right. Quiet. Inside voices. Quiet. Um. Sorry. You're sick. I don't like that. Can I get you something why are you sneezing why did you not tell me you were sick I would have taken care of you why are you here and not sleeping in the dorm why why why I do not approve."

[Remus Lupin]

Awweh, Amethyst is not happy now cause she can't just go over and take care of Eowyn till she feels better. *pouts* Remus just sits there then falls to the side to just lay there. "Ugh...this sucks. I never made it back to the dorm last night, that's why. I was out late past midnight and then realized there was that essay for Charms that I wanted to edit, so after I left the Astronomy tower I headed for the library and spent the night there. Is it cold in here or is it just me? It was quite cold last night..."

[Guest]

"You-- you what? MOONY ARE YOU MAD?! YOU SPENT THE NIGHT OUTSIDE?! Remus John Lupin-- yes I went for the middle name, don't you give me that look-- it is December second. You do not spend December nights out on the Astronomy tower unless I AM THERE TO KEEP YOU WARM, OKAY?! Merlin, Moony," he said, rolling his eyes and conjuring up a nice warm blanket, and tucking it around Remus so his friend is nice and comfortable. Leaning on Remus' shoulder, he sighed, and nommed on his own sammich again. "Stupid Moony. Next time just finish it in the dorm, okay? If you need us to be quiet that badly, we will."

[Remus Lupin]

Remus winces, covering his ears again as Sirius' voice level rises. "It was nice to look at the sky though...plus I was hanging out with Jack. Maybe we should have just found somewhere more inside to hang out at though." he shrugged, shivering a bit from his cold...then he sneezed again. "As for that essay...well, there were some things I needed to look up anyway so the library was the ideal place."

[Guest]

At Jack's name, Sirius freezes, and a sour taste fills his mouth as he looks down at Remus. "Wait, you stayed outside all night with Jack, and got yourself sick? Moony, that's just-- Moony, sort out your damn priorities," he snapped, never thinking he'd be the one to tell Remus that, given that it's usually the other way around. "Spending time with your boyfr-- with Jack-- should not take precedent over your health," he complained, a sickening feeling in his stomach, as he thinks about that word. It shouldn't bother him to call Jack by his title-- he was Remus' boyfriend, after all, but somehow, he couldn't bring himself to say it out loud.

[Remus Lupin]

Remus may be sick, but he's not sick enough to not get upset when he listens to Sirius snapping at him. "Oh for goodness sakes, Sirius. Is it really that hard to call him my boyfriend? Oh never mind, forget about it." He really doesn't want to fight right now, not when he can hardly keep his eyes open. "We had a lot of fun and to hell with a little cold because of it." He'd obviously promised that he wouldn't ever go into detail about the time he spent with Jack, but that didn't mean he couldn't express the fact that he'd had a fun time with his boyfriend. He did sort of have that right. Especially when he had to sit around and listen to Sirius babbling on half the time about all the fun he got up to with girls. Remus sneezed again, stubbornly refusing to make eye contact with Sirius.

[Guest]

Sirius groans and crosses his arms, glaring at Remus for a moment, but upon seeing him sneeze again, and watching his nose twitch in that adorable, Remus-esque fashion, he sighs, and silently hands Remus another tissue, and drapes an arm across his friend's shoulders. "Remus, why do you have to be like this? I just don't want you to get sick, alright, is it so terrible of me to want you healthy?" he asked, feeling even more put out than before, with stupid Lupin being all grumpy with him. "I just-- you-- he-- it hasn't got anything to do with your-- your boyfriend, alright? It's-- nevermind," he mumbled, not entirely sure what he was trying to say to begin with, and deciding to end the awkward by shoving an entire sandwich into his mouth at once. How he did it, I don't even know.

[Remus Lupin]

"Er...right." Remus sneezed again. "You know, if something's bothering you you can talk to me about it. I mean, you say 'nevermind' but obviously there's something...ack," he sneezes again, "this sucks." At least he wasn't feeling the normal anxiety or awkwardness he'd been having lately every time he would be around Sirius - thanks to the fact that Viktor had convinced him to accept the fact that he and Sirius would never be together like he'd wanted...still wanted, but he wasn't focusing on that anymore. He just wanted things to become more normal again between them. Though it seemed like it would be harder to accomplish than he'd like, considering Sirius just didn't seem to like accepting the fact that Remus had a boyfriend and not a girlfriend.

[Guest]

Sirius opened his mouth to say something, but upon seeing Remus sneeze again, thought better of it. "Remus, there is stuff bothering me. But it can wait until you're better, alright? Goddammit, Moony, don't get boogers on my sammiches," he said half-jokingly, shoving the last of his food into his mouth and looking away, still leaning on his friend's shoulder. "It does suck. Which is why since it's too late to prevent you from getting sick, you should at least let me take care of you, alright?" he said, putting down the plate and getting up to instruct the house elves to bring him some soup. When it arrived, he sat down beside Remus and smiled a little, gathering a spoonful with the spoon and holding it up to his friend's mouth. "Open up. It's the least I can do, alright?" he said in a soft voice, his eyes gazing into Remus' again, and for the briefest moment, he felt that something, that strange, completely whacked out feeling that he'd gotten that day he'd fallen on Remus, and looked into his eyes then.

[Remus Lupin]

Remus doesn't say anything as a house elf brings over some soup. Involuntarily, he gets that familiar swooping feeling in his stomach when Sirius gazes into his eyes and Remus tears his own gaze away, refusing to do this to himself. He'd already made up his mind, and that was to stop tormenting himself over something that was never going to happen. He was happy with the way things were now. Just being friends with Sirius was enough. He wouldn't ruin their friendship by admitting out loud something as crazy as the fact that he had feelings for the guy. "I can feed myself..." he comments quietly, looking down at the floor. His stubbornness was ruined by a bout of coughing and another sneeze. He was hopeless.

[Guest]

AMETHYST WHY MUST YOU BE SO CRUEL. JUST CRUSH MY INNER SIRIUS, WHY DON'T YOU. CRUSH THE POOR GUY TO THE GROUND AND STEP ON HIM AND GRIND HIM INTO DUST.
Um. Inner Sirius is loud today...

Sirius swallows when Remus so quietly and simply rejects him, slowly and carefully placing the spoon back into the bowl and leaving it on the table in front of them, then stood up, staring at his friend. "Right. Well. I guess you can, you can just do that, then," he mumbled, looking thoroughly CRUSHED and broken, rather like a puppy who just wants to play, but gets kicked outside into a snowstorm instead, because THAT IS HOW MY INNER SIRIUS FEELS RIGHT NOW, REMUS. THAT IS HOW POUTY HE IS. Biting down on his lower lip, he lets his eyes fall down to the floor, deciding that his shoes need polishing again, and he best go find Wormtail, stat. "I suppose I'll see you later tonight. Or, I guess maybe not, if you'd rather spend the night outside with Jack so you can get pneumonia, instead of being around me. That's cool too, I guess. Right. Leaving now," he muttered, mostly under his breath, then turned and left, before Eowyn has to buy Sirius a boatload of Molly's Special Cookies.

[Remus Lupin]

Excuse me while I go smack my Inner!Remus..it's all his fault after all... *glares at him*

Remus glares at the floor as Sirius turns and leaves, knowing it's probably a bit irrational for him, himself, to get so angry but whatever. Why did it have to be such a fucking big deal if he just wanted to feed himself? Yes, he knew they always did stuff like that usually, but maybe it was just because things were slightly different now and the fact that Remus was trying hard to ignore those betraying jumpy feelings in his stomach he got every time he made eye contact with Sirius. "Ugh...you just don't get it." Remus mumbled, feeling sick and miserable. He didn't even know what he was telling Sirius he just didn't get. His mind and thoughts were too fuzzy. That's it, Remus decided, I'm going to the hospital wing. Leaving the soup untouched, Remus pushed himself up off the couch and, thanking a passing house elf for the soup and tea, left the kitchen and headed for the hospital wing.

[Viktor Krum - Inactive]

Good thing we have two kitchens. Viktor leads Hermione in here, intent on feeding her something because his friend needs to eat. Huh. The tables have turned because Luna recalls Hermione making Viktor eat in 1.0. "So, vot vould Miss Granger like to eat this morning?" he asks, glad that he's quite the chef and can make her any type of breakfast she wants, even if that breakfast includes something such as chocolate, pizza, or chicken. Whatever floats her boat.

[Molly Prewett]

-Hermione-

Ah, how things change. Hermione dutifully follows Viktor into the kitchen and takes a seat at the bench. She blinks in surprise when he makes it clear that he's going to be making her food rather than calling on a House Elf. Well, they'll be very busy with the breakfast rush themselves, so Hermione is very impressed with Viktor's foresight. She shrugs, though, because she doesn't want anything. "I don't care - whatever's easiest," she says.

I gotta go, gorgeous. Try and be back later, but I don't know. LOVE YOU! XXOO

[Viktor Krum - Inactive]

OKAY! LOVE YOU! <333

Viktor wanted to make Hermione a Bulgarian breakfast, but when Luna googled that to get ideas she found something that stunned her Inner!Voices. Viktor has promised that he will never make Hermione a Bulgarian breakfast as long as she lives. This Is Why. Um. "Pancakes, it is!" he answers for her, deciding that no one can turn down pancakes. Seriously, cereal is boring and Viktor is just not in the mood for eggs right now, and french toast would be good but votever. Hope Hermione like pancakes. He pulls a chair out for her to sit down in, close to where he'll be making her food so they can still chat and not be an awkward distance apart. He starts mixing up the ingredients and such, not using magic because it's the thought that counts so he's going to put real effort into this. Also, he's always liked cooking so why ruin the fun with a spell? "So, you never told me vot you vere doing for Christmas," he says after he finishes mixing up the pancake batter, urging Hermione to talk and think about happier thoughts. Christmas is happy, yeah?

[Molly Prewett]

OMG.
Just... ew.
I will never look at scrambled eggs the same again. JS.

Hermione likes pancakes. She sits in the chair Viktor pulls out for her and watches as he starts making pancakes the muggle way. It reminds her of her childhood and she almost smiles again. "I don't know yet," she sighs. "I haven't decided whether to go home or stay here," she confesses. Hermione loves her parents, but they're overbearing and uptight at times -Merlin save her if they ever found out she had a girlfriend!- and the idea of spending a couple of weeks sipping tea and hiding her pain from them is horrifying to her right now. On the other hand, the castle is stifling and she just wants to be far, far away from the scene of her crime, so to speak. She shrugs, fiddling with the hem of her shirt. "How about you?" she finally remembers to ask.

[Viktor Krum - Inactive]

I love scrambled eggs. *sniffs* And now....
*never moves to Bulgaria*
>.>

Viktor falls silent as he pours the batter onto the griddle, knowing that if he's going to invite Hermione to Bulgaria then he'll have to do it soon and now looks like a pretty good time to ask. "I'll be in Bulgaria vith my family," he answers, not adding anything else as he focuses on the pancakes which really don't need his attention right now. He pulls his gaze away from the cooking breakfast to look at his friend, his face falling at her sad, contemplative expression. He really doesn't want to think about her being alone here at Hogwarts when she's obviously so upset, and it doesn't look like she's too happy about the idea of going home either. He's asked her to visit him in the past and it didn't ruin their friendship, so the worst that can happen is she'll just say no and they'll move on and enjoy their pancakes. "You know," he starts, looking down at the ground for a moment before looking back up at his friend. "You could alvays-- I mean, you don't have to, of course...But, I vouldn't mind if you came to Bulgaria." Well, that sounded like he was doing her a favor when really he'd love for her to go to his parent's house with him. "I vant you to come vith me. If you vant to, that is."
