The Hogwarts kitchen is located directly under the Great Hall, down the same staircase that leads to the Hufflepuff Common Room. It contains four long tables identical to and directly below those in the Great Hall; food must simply be placed upon the tables in the kitchens, and it magically appears on the corresponding tables in the Great Hall above. The kitchens are staffed by over one hundred house-elves. Helga Hufflepuff brought the house-elves to work in the kitchens as a way of ensuring they could work without being abused.

Eric
"Oh, right, I forgot you have experience, stud." He smirked now and then sighed "I'll come with you. And I'm sure they won't mind. They never do." he followed JD, eyeing the towel. Hmm, maybe he could get JD back with that towel. Hmmm.
Stepping into the kitchens, JD grinned back at Eric after hearing his words. "Yeah, can't say I got the best experience other then being broke up with though." Looking around for a house elf, he didn't see one right away. Hmmm odd...
"Yeah, well, I don't have anyone to break up with, so I'm sorted." he grinned before sitting on a chair, waiting for an elf to appear. They usually knew when someone was in the kitchen. Plotting in his head what he was going to do to get JD back, Eric smiled slightly.
Wrinkling her nose as she stepped through the entrance from the hidey hole Calla, looked around for the smell. Blinky must not have cleaned all that well...or cleaned too much. Running she nearly fell over her feet trying to get to the studentsies before they waited too long. "Missers, I's so sorry." Her eyes wide, she fought tears that threatened to spill.
She shouldn't have left the kitchen empty so long, Blinky had been there only 5 minutes before, she should have come right away! "What can me Calla get you Missers?"

Snorting he shook his head, "I can give ye tips on kissing though." he replied with a smirk. Making his way towards the squashy chairs by the fire, he stopped midstep as a house elf appeared. "Erm, thet's fine miss. Just a egg salad sandwich if ye would please. And a lemonade."
"Erm, EW!" Eric pulled a face at JD and shook his head, looking disgusted before gasping as the little elf ran towards them and looked like she was going to cry. "It's okay, Calla!" He'd spent a LOOT of time in here before. He knew all the elves by name. "If it's not a hassle, could I have a chicken salad sandwich with loads of mayo please? And..some pumpkin juice too please?" He smiled kindly at her "Take your time, don't rush." He warned her in a friendly way.
House elves always rushed and usually looked like they were going to hurt themselves. It put him so on edge!
Did he just say kissing? Ooooo, naughty studentsie. No kissing, she knew that much. Wait! Now who was he talking to? The other studentsie wasn't a miss, that was a boy. Turning around quickly she hoped he hadn't meant there was another person there! Turning back around Calla realized the boy had called HER miss. Her eyes widening even more, she nodded "Yes, yes right away!" Hearing the other boy call her by name her eyes fell on him.
Wow these students had odd tastes in food, first a egg sandwich, who put egg on the sandwiches? They went in things like cakes and brownies, but on a sandwich? Now mayo on chicken salad. Not making a comment about either one, because it was her job to make food not question the food. She preferred just a scone even a burnt one was fine.
"It won't take long, Calla promises!" Running off she practically flew across the room in such a hurry to get the food ready.

Snickering as Eric looked horrified, "Kissing isn't really thet bad. As long as ye know what te do." he added with a smirk. He enjoyed cuffing Eric, 'specially when he was so easy to do so.
His gaze quickly following the little house elf, he echoed Eric when he saw her nearly trip over her feet again. "Really don't rush, we can wait!"
"I'm sure I'll be okay when it comes to it. I won't be taking advice from a Ravenclaw who can't even get into the Hufflepuff Common Room." he smirked and then gasped. "It's okay, Calla, relax!" Eric called after her, watching her just about sprint across the room. Wow. She was going to hurt herself! He didn't want that.
Working quickly she vaguely heard some calls from the boys. She figured they just wanted desert as well. Returning she had a little bandage over one ear. Don't ask, 'cause she wasn't sure how the knife landed there either and probably wouldn't tell you anyway.
Carrying a tray laiden down with sandwiches and mayo, a pitcher of both drinks and glasses and big pieces of chocolate cake, she put it on the table infront of them. "Any more missers? Calla hopes it's not too late!" her eyes wide as she spoke, her little nose sniffed the air again, twisting her towel that draped over her in her hands.

His eyes grew as he spotted the house elf coming towards them with all the food. Wow, erm that's a lot of food! he thought silently but didn't dare voice his opinion, 'lest he hurt her feelings. "Well, I bet ye couldn't get into our commons either." he replied with a smirk. He'd bet his broomstick that Eric couldn't pass the password part of it.
"Wha...erm thank ye Calla fer the food!" he added with a smile towards the house elf.
"Oh? If you can get in, I'm sure I can." he grinned at JD, but then frowned. "Do you have a password or something? I know it's the knocker, but..I've never knocked it before." he pondered on how to get into the 'Claw common room.
As Calla came back with a tray filled with food and drinks and chocolate cake, Eric stared at it "Whoooa. Thanks Calla!" he reached for a sandwich and then shook his head "No way, that was so fast!" he grinned before taking a bite of the food and conveying his approval.
Bowing her exit she hurried back to the cupboards. It looked like she'd literally climbed into it if you looked over at her, 'cause just her feet were sticking out. Mumbling something about smells and cleaning you could also hear distinct sounds of stuff being moved around.
Reappearing she had a spray bottle in one hand and a rag in the other and started moving around the kitchen her nose sniffing and wrinkled with her ears perked.

Snorting he shook his head "Nah passwords aren't needed not if ye can answer a simple question." Reaching for his sandwich he took a big bite before choking on it and looking around for the banging he'd just heard. Spotting two little feet hanging out of a door he raised his eyebrow at Eric before shrugging.
"So how do ye get into the Hufflepuff common room." winking at his friend "In case there's an emergency of couse."
"Oh, okay. Then I'm sure I could get in." he grinned before looking over at Calla and glancing back to JD, shrugging too. "Oh, well, I suppose I can tell you. You can't get in without getting soaked anyway 'cause you're not a 'Puff." he smirked "Tap the barrel with your wand." he tapped on the table. "1, 2. 1, 2, 3." he nodded before bursting out laughing as Calla seemed to be trying to find the source of the small.
"Calla, JD here tried to get into the Hufflepuff Common Room, but being a 'Claw, he failed. He's the smell." he grinned, but then his smile faltered. He was really curious now. "Calla? What's wrong with your ear?" he hoped she wouldn't be upset with him for asking.
Spritzing the air here and there as she walked, Calla moved closer to the boys as she heard Eric speak. "Nauty studentsie!" Squirting the smelly stuff onto JD she shook her head "Calla thinks you need bath." Squirt squirt.
"Ear? What ear?" Calla asked before squirting one more time towards JD and looked over at the other boy.

"One, two, one two three..." he muttered to himself. "What kind of a password is that?" he asked lifting his eyebrow. OI! Making a face at the spraying he lifted his plate above his head. "What is that stuff?" Wrinkling his nose, he made a face as the elf kept spraying it at him. It smelled worse then the vinegar stuff!
Bursting out laughing at Calla's response, he stopped and looked at the elf, wait she did have something on her ear. She was a feisty one it appeared as well!
"Well, it's actually the rhythm of 'Helga Hufflepuff'" he nodded knowingly."He does." Eric agreed with Calla and burst out laughing as JD was sprayed with some stuff. HAHA. Served him right. "Your ear with the bandage, Calla." He spoke more specifically and cringed away from JD as he took another bite of his sandwich and chewed, watching the show.
"That misser is one of kind spray. Calla mum made it." Eyeing him with the spray in hand again, she reached up and wiped his nose "Misser need bath." she said wrinkling her nose again, before spraying one more time. Turning towards the other boy, "You smell bad too?"
"Knife jumped." she said with a shrug before pointing sprayer at him. "Calla make kitchen smell good."

Hearing Eric's explanation it clicked in his head, well that explained the code. Shrugging, "I'll jus' bring a raincoat next time." he replied with a smirk. Going cross-eyed as the elf wiped his nose he shook his head before making a face again. "Yes, I'll take a bath after I eat." Lowering his plate as she took aim at Eric he doubled over in laughter.
"Yes, I think he does smell a little. Spray might help." Snorting he put the plate down before he dropped it.
Nodding to JD, Eric grinned and then shook his head "You'll get kicked out. There's a system. I saw someone sneak in once, I'd advise you against it." he nodded seriously. Then he dropped his sandwich onto the plate and put his hands up in the air. "No! I don't! I just had a shower and got changed!" Eric threw JD a look, telling him to shut up. "Please, Calla, don't.." he pouted slightly. Wait, the knife jumped? Riiight. Well, he wasn't going to say anything now, or he was sure he'd get sprayed.
Eyeing the boy she had the sprayer at she inched closer sniffing a little before stepping back. Nodding she squirted JD again before returning to the cupboard with her sprayer and rag. Sneaking behind the counter, she poked her head out just a little so her ears were showing around the corner as she watched the two.

Hmmm he wondered if the tower had a similar block on people who tried to get in who weren't Ravenclaw's. He'd have to find out, he was sure it probably did. Though the questions were hard enough for nonthinking Ravenclaw's as it was. Laughing as Eric appeared to be worried he'd get sprayed he took another bite from his sandwich.
"Worried?" he asked amused as Calla walked away again.
Smiling warmly at her as she deemed him okay, he sighed relievedly and picked up his sandwich again. "I was, now I'm not." he took another bite from his sandwich and stared at the wall thoughtfully. "Hmm, I wonder what would happen if a teacher came in.." he glanced at the door. "Would they get you into trouble for tryna get in?" he then looked at JD. "Why did you want to get in anyway? What's up?" he hadn't asked that yet.

Laughing he shook his head. Shrugging he shook his head "No clue. I'd just say you need a way to let people know there's someone outside looking to find someone inside. Like a portrait or something. The tiara in the Ravenclaw common room glows if someone taps on the wall with the knocker that's not a Ravvie."
"Just thought I'd come find you...I was gonna tell you about what happened last summer..." he replied dropping his eyes just at the memory of what had happened again.
