The entrance to the common room is concealed in a stack of large barrels in a nook on the right hand side of the kitchen corridor. Tap the barrel two from the bottom, middle of the second row, in the rhythm of ‘Helga Hufflepuff’, and the lid will swing open. Hufflepuff is the only house at Hogwarts that also has a repelling device for would-be intruders. If the wrong lid is tapped, or if the rhythm of the tapping is wrong, the illegal entrant is doused in vinegar.
Once you’ve opened the barrel, crawl inside and along the passageway behind it, and you will emerge into the cosiest common room of them all. But be warned, if you enter and are not a Hufflepuff, you will be seen by the portrait in the common room and expelled from the room to be doused in vinegar when you emerge from the passageway.

Walking down to the kitchens, JD had gone looking for his friend Eric. He'd seen him disappear into those barrels before so he figured he'd just find a way in. Right? Bubbles was sitting on his shoulder until they approached the barrels, then flew over and tapped on a barrel and flew right in.
Hurrying over to the barrel, JD grabbed the door that quickly shut on his fingers. Yelping he stuck the tips of his fingers into his mouth for a minute. Reaching for his wand he tapped the barrel he thought it was, when nothing happened he tried another and another and another once again. Going back to the first he tapped it harder when all of a sudden it opened!
YAY! Got it! he thought, about to climb in he suddenly found himself drenched with a disgusting smelling liquid.
Climbing out of the barrel with Bubbles on his shoulder, Eric straightened up and then burst out laughing at the sight of JD on the floor, covered in vinegar. "Where are your chips(fries) mate?" he laughed, falling back to lean against the barrels. "You wanted a peek?" he grinned. Silly JD. Hufflepuff's common room was for HUFFLEPUFF'S. Snorting with laughter again, he summoned a towel from his dorm. When it zoomed out of the barrel, Eric caught it and threw it to JD. "Learnt your lesson?" he couldn't stop grinning or shaking from laughter.

"Ye would!" he replied in retort as Eric appeared and nearly doubled up in laughter. "Well, she got in!" Wrinkling his nose, he shook his head, "Didn't expect te get in, was more hoping it would signal one of ye I was out here."
Yeah, that was it, of course it was. Grabbing the towel thrown towards him, he rubbed his head, "I need a shower."
He smirked at JD and then shook his head "Nope. We don't hear anything if someone fails to get in." Oh, a shower? "Sure." he flourished his wand and muttered "Aguamenti." Aiming the flow of water to get JD directly, Eric snorted with laughter again and tried to hold his wand still. BAHAHA. JD was SO gonna get him back for this.

Raising his eyebrow, he shook his head "Then how in Merlin's beard does anyone know people are out here looking fer ye?" Finally managing to get himself fairly dry he bent down to dry his pants legs better, upon standing up his eyes grew "NOoooo!" Gurgling as the water hit him now in the face.
"Ye, fergot the soap ye twat." he yelled, dodging away completely soaked through again. An idea popped into his head fighting a smirk. Widening his eyes purposefully he looked down the hall past Eric, his face turning just a shade of light pink as if in a blush "Erm, professor!"
"Usually, a person would just wait for another Hufflepuff to come along or for a house-elf to ask if they need anything." Eric nodded. before laughing as JD gurgled with the water in his face. "My bad." he smirked again, shaking his wand once and muttering the counter spell to stop the water. Then he froze. Professor? His eyes narrowed slightly as he tried to think of an excuse. Then he turned around "I-Oh!" he turned back to JD with a grin "You git." he nudged him jokingly.

"Well thet'd be the logical thing te do." he said with a shrug "I jes' wanted te play and get soaked in vinegar." smirking he failed and burst into laughter.
Doubling in laughter at his reaction to the professor stint, he smirked, "still gotta get ye fer thet."
"Yup, sure you did." he smirked, shaking his head amusedly. "'cause we all love walking around smelling like a bag of chips(fries)." Eric shook his head and then stuck his tongue out at JD. "For what?" he shrugged, acting like he didn't know. No way he was going to fall for that one again. Nope.
"Uhh...true." he grinned and then frowned confusedly and gave JD a strange look. "What girl? I don't have a girl?" he put his hands in his pockets, waiting for a response that would explain JD's smirk.

Snickering he grinned before taking his wand and drying the towel. Rubbing his hair with the towel again it stood on end. "Well, I saw the looks she gave you, and her blush."
"WHOOO?" He stressed to JD, watching him dry his hair. "I have absolutely no idea who you're talking about!" Well, JD didn't know that he and Jessabelle had a chat and she'd blushed. How was he to know? HMM? Maybe it was that darn nosy Helga Hufflepuff portrait.

Snorting he burst into laughter unable to contain it any longer. "Well it was a flip between Myrtle and Jessabelle." Snapping the towel towards his friend he smirked again "Wasn't sure which one couldn't keep 'er eyes of ye more."
His eyes widened as JD said the two names. Eric tried to grab the end of the towel but he missed. "No way.. Jessabelle and... Myrtle?!" he stared blankly at JD and then frowned "Shut up." he face-palmed JD and rolled his eyes. The lies coming from this Ravenclaw's mouth were despicable!

Laughing harder he rolled up the towel and threw it around his shoulders. Shaking his head he headed up the stairs, winking back at Eric. "If ye need any tips I could help ye know." Somehow he had a feeling Eric was going to avoid that subject though "I'm gonna get something te eat as long as the elves don' mind the smell."
"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.
