Sweet and sour

[Tilly Drage]

Tilly and Rita had just met, but they had a very complex problem to solve together. The treats table had run completely out of lemon bars. They left the Valentine’s dance early, making their way to the kitchens. “If we ask nicely, maybe the house elves will help us,” Tilly said, trying to encourage Rita, who seemed nervous about it.

This thread is set during the Valentine's dance. House elves are welcome to join!

Help us? It wasn't of matter if the house elves would help them. It was whether they said yes to their request. Rita followed Tilly closely. "What if they say no?" She really wanted another lemon bar. If the house elves refused, she would be making a disappointing trip back to her house.

Tilly bit her lip. “I mean, that would suck, but I hear house elves are usually pretty nice,” she said, trying to reassure Rita. Not that she knew from personal experience. Her family would never be able to afford a house elf, and she got the feeling her parents were weirded out by the concept a bit. She hoped that they would be able to snag a few more lemon bars. Or if they were all out, maybe the house elves would show them how to make them. They were delicious. “Have you tried lemon cake before?” she asked to pass the time, standing on her tiptoes and looking for plates of yellow and white goodness.

 

[Lelo]

Lelo was working hard today to make sure the young masters and mistresses of Hogwarts had a good time at the Valentine's dance. Lelo held a tray of lemon bars, fresh from the fridge and ready to be brought up. Lelo was meant to be in the kitchen the whole day and so instead of going up himself, Lelo waited for one of the other elves who were meant to be working upstairs to take the refills upstairs. That was until he saw two younger mistresses tiptoeing against a counter. "Um.. H- Hello. Does the young mistresses require as- assistance?" Lelo asked.

Rita had never met a house elf before. Of course she knew what they looked like. Kennedy almost bought one for the family, but Kengi threw a huge fit by saying his 9 year-old pride was wounded because his father thought he couldn't be a big brother. Boys. Rita shook her head to Tilly's question, but the girl's head was turned. I wouldn't have to talk if the had eyes on the back of her head she complained. The Ravenclaw looked over the counters and squealed "Lemon cakes!" loudly when she turned to see a house elf so close to her.
