I bit my lip. No! I thought to myself. The teacher will get really suspicious! You can't go! No, don't raise you hand, don't---! I ignored my thoughts. "Professor? I think Lavenders right. It must be the food or something. I feel awful." I said. I ran out of the room pretending like it was seconds before I would throw up, but once I was out of the class room, I laughed to myself. "Ok. I guess I'm coming too." I said to the two of them. "Actually, I was quite surprised you decided to come Lavender."

Lestat shot a look at the clock. "All right then, ladies, let's go." He turned and sauntered quickly down the corridor. The girls looked at each other and followed him to a part of the castle they'd never been before.

"I've never been here before!" I said to Lavender. "Is it dangerous down here?"

Lestat smiled. "Not as long as you stay in the middle of the corridor. This is where a bunch of advanced classes are held. My cousin taught me everything I know about this bit of the castle. Basically, if you keep away from the walls and don't step on any colored stones, you'll be fine. Oh, and if I tell you to jump over something, jump, okay? Even if you can't see what you're jumping over. Seventh years have been hexing and mazing these corridors for centuries." He turned to check that Samantha and Lavender were still behind him. They wre standing there, staring. "I've been going through here since I was a first year, and nothing's happened to me yet," he said hastily. "Don't worry about it! Trust me." The girls both coughed in a way tha sounded suspiciously like 'yeah right'. Lestat chose to ignore it and continued down the corridor, stepping around random places and telling the girls to do the same.

"I feel ridiculus!" I muttered to Lavender. "Yes, but at least we won't get cursed or hexed or anything!" She answered. "What if he's just kidding!?" "I don't think he is..."

Lestat called out over his shoulder. "There's a shortcut right here, but you have to pay very close attention or you'll get stuck in the wall and there'll be some awkward questions when they get you out." He demonstrated how to shove a statue of a witch and wizard making out. He rolled his eyes and looked at the girls. "If you don't get it right, you'll get stuck as one of the people in the statue." The girls still looked skeptical. "No, I'm serious. In my second year, I, erm, was going through and I forgot to shove the statue, and eh...you get the idea." He flushed slightly. Lavender's eyes widened and they all burst out laughing.
They got through without any mishaps and arrived safely at the kitchen.

"Can I help you?" One tiny elf asked me. I thought this over...I wanted to be nice, but I did want something. "Umm..maybe" I told the elf. I waited for Lestat's answer.

ooc: TERRENCE AND PHILLIP!!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!!
bic: Lestat shrugged and looked kind of sheepish. "Yes. It's true. I was...forgetful and took someone down here, and we...erm...got stuck...." Samantha giggled. Lavender snickered behind her hand. "Who was it?" she asked. Lestat shifted uncomfortably. He muttered something unintelligable. "What?" "I said, it was...oh, fine! I was frozen as part of the statue for two hours with Draco Malfoy..." The girls looked at each other and burst out laughing.
"It's not how it sounds!" He insisted as his face flushed slightly. "I was with a bunch of people and we were going to get food during a detention and..." he stopped. Even one or two of the house elves were giggling now. "I'm just making this sound worse and worse..."
Trying depsperately to pretend he didn't hear the snickers, Lestat got the house elves to get the three humans some hot chocolate and muffins. "Is blueberry okay with you girls?" He asked, not turning around.

"Umm...exploring? Where?" I asked taking a blueberry muffin. "Thanks." I mumbled to the house elf. I handed the house elf a few sickles. "Give one to the other house elves." I whispered and looked at Lavender. She smiled.

Lestat scoffed. "What are you doing? Don't pay them!" The girls looked aghast. "How can you be so cruel?" "Aren't you ladies forgetting that house-elves are offended by getting wages...? I thought you both knew that..."

The elf dropped the sickles. "Lestat! Honestly, they work really hard!"

Lestat rolled his eyes. "Look, they're BUILT to work hard. It's the point of their existence. They LIKE working. You're insulting them by implying that they need an incentive to fulfull their existence. It would be like someone..." he sought a suitable example. "...like someone who gave you baby's shoes for helping their toddler at the playground. You'd have done it anyway, and the baby shoes are worthless." He saw their looks. "Okay, bad example. But my point is that they don't need money; everything's provided for them. And it insults them. So don't."
"Elf! Get me more food, will you?" he called to one of the diminutive figures scurrying by.

"look, i know you think you should just work and work, but i think you deserve some priveliges. she picked up the sickes. "here, in case you ever want something" she said. the elf looked stunned but took the sickles.
