Erik looked at his watch and saw that it was still pretty early, but he couldn't stand being in the Slytherin common room with Leo at the moment.
He walked down into the kitchens and tickled the pear to get inside. Once he was in there he sat at a table and the house elves asked him what he wanted.
"Could I just have a cup of Earl Gray tea please, with a lemon wedge."
Very quickly a tray of his tea, his lemon, and some sugar was placed in front of him.
"Thank you."

Jordyn walked to the kitchen. Her stomache felt completely empty, and she needed something to fill it. She had heard that you must "tickle the pear" in order to get inside. What the heck does that mean? she thought, until she got to the entrance and saw the pear. "Ok..." She walked up and reached out to touch the pear. "I feel silly," she smiled as she wiggled her fingers.
Just then the door opened and revealed a room filled with kitched appliances, tables and chairs, a few students here and there, and... These must be house elves, Jordyn thought. They're kinda cute.
When a petite house elf with a pink bow on her head approached Jordyn and asked what she would like to eat or drink, Jordyn didn't know what to say. "Umm... well..." she thought, "can I get some Green Tea and... strawberry cheesecake?" Jordyn asked. The little elf nodded her head and scurried away.
Jordyn looked around to find a place to sit. She debated whether she wanted company or not, and decided that she did. She saw a guy she had met before in the Great Hall. "Erik, right?" she asked as she approached him, "Mind if I sit with you?"

Erik looked up when he heard his name being called. "Yeah, Erik...Jordyn right? We met the other day at lunch. Please sit down." Erik said waving his hand over the empty benches around him.
He was glad that someone came in to talk to him, usually people avoided him because of who he was, and what house he belonged to.

Jordyn took a seat next to Erik. "That's right. So, how's it going?"
The house elf who had taken Jordyn's request returned with an ornate tea cup filled with green tea, and a good-sized piece of cheesecake drizzled with strawberry juice with a few strawberry slices laying on top. "Thank you," Jordyn said to the house elf, who smiled and walked away. She took a bite of cheesecake and almost jumped due to its sweet taste. "Wow, that's good!" she exclaimed. She then giggled in embarrassment as she realized she had said that out loud.

Erik shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "So-so I guess. The woes of Hogwarts could get to you." He drank his tea and then almost spit it out laughing at Jordyn.
"Yes, Hogwarts food is really good. It surprises you from time to time, but I don't' think I have ever heard anyone that surprised." He picked up a fork and got a very small piece of her cheesecake and ate it.
"Mmmh, I see what you mean."

Jordyn ducked as Erik looked like he was going to blow. She sat back up, laughing, "Sorry, but... man, that has to be the best darn cheesecake in the galaxy!"
She smiled at him as he took a bite of her cheesecake. "Hey," she teased, "that's mine!"
"Yeah, I've heard a little about the... problems that have been going on around here, but... I'm still new, so I don't know much about it, and I don't want to be nosy." Plus, I have my own problems, she thought while taking a sip of her tea.

Erik laughed at her outburst. "Yes, the food here is phenomenal. When I leave here, I don't know what I'll do, because the food here in unforgettable."
Erik heard what she said and his shoulders sank. "Are you talking about mine and Kara's 'secretive' relationship? It's not true, and I hate that people have nothing better to do than make up stuff that isn't true."

"Maybe you can become a professor here," Jordyn suggested.
"Well, that's that, then." Jordyn smiled. "So, what can you tell me about... yourself or... the school or... whatever you want to tell me? I'm all ears," she made her ears stand out with her hands. Now that she had food in her, Jordyn was feeling much better and happier, and wanted Erik to feel the same.

"A professor huh. I am skilled in many things, just not that skilled." Erik said teasing her.
"Thanks Jordyn, I appreciate it, and I think I'm okay. I just can't believe people make up stuff like that. Did you actually hear about it? I would really like to know how you are doing. How are you getting along at Hogwarts? Are people being nice to you?"

"Well, I may have heard. I honestly can't remember. It seems like everyone here has something going on at the moment. But, if I do here something in the future, I'll be sure to ignore it," she smiled at him. "Yep, the students I've met so far have been very friendly." She took another bite of her cheesecake.

Erik nodded his head. He knew there was so much stuff going around that he didn't know what was real and false. "Well, I'm glad that everyone has been nice to you."
Erik got a little more of her cheesecake and smiled. "Oh, too slow." He said laughing.

Jordyn laughed as she pretended to try to stop Erik from taking another piece of her cheesecake. She looked down at her plate and realized there was only enough for one more bite. She picked it up with her fingers and put it in her mouth before Erik could grab it. After she swallowed the last piece of the delicious dessert, she stuck her tongue out at Erik teasingly.
"Aww, it's all gone," she whined, looking back down at her plate. "Should I get another slice?" she asked Erik.

"Well if you aren't going to get more, than I guess I will have to." Erik said with a big grin on his face.
"I'm not much for cheesecake, but that was pretty good."
He waved over a House Elf. "I think were going to have another piece of the cheesecake she had. But make it a bigger piece, since were both going to have it." Erik said with a grin to Jordyn.
"That is unless you don't want to share, then I can eat it all." He said laughing.

"You wish," Jordyn said when Erik volunteered to eat the entire piece of cheesecake by himself. She couldn't help but to laugh. She had worried for weeks whether she would be accepted at Hogwarts or not. Now she could rest assured that life was looking up for her.
When the house elf brought their second piece of cheesecake to the table, Jordyn grabbed her fork and took a bite before the poor elf had even sat it down. "You know what? I think this cheesecake has some kind of spell on it that makes whoever tastes it want more," she concluded.
She laughed as she took another bite, "Okay, we're sharing food already. Now I must know something about you; likes... dislikes.... favorite smells," she smiled. "Something," she demanded.

Erik did have to agree with her about the cheesecake. "I'm not sure if there's something in it though. I'm sure they aren't poisoning us."
"Okay, something I like...this cheesecake!" Erik said laughing. "Okay seriously. I like quidditch, I'm on the house team. My dislikes...hmh...I hate doing homework." He chuckled. "My favorite smell huh. Well I guess I would have to say the smell of polish on a broomstick. So now it's your turn." Erik said grinning.
