William Revenous Chapter Four - Valentinus Cupius

Chapter 4

After the Sorting ceremony and the huge celebration dinner we find Cedric and William walking with full stomachs out of the Great Hall. William was always amazed by all the different things that were being served. For example. If the chicken was empty, there didn't just spawn new chicken to enjoy. A brand new turkey would replace the chicken. And if the turkey was no more, an austridge would replace the turkey. Not many people got that far to figure it out, but William was very hungry the first time he arrived at hogwarts. But he still wonders if the same would happen with chicken wings.. Maybe hippogriff wings at the end? That would be scary..

On the other hand Cedric wasn't too impressed by dinner as much as William was. His mother was a great cook and she usually took the whole day to prepare the meals for the evening. And that was just subconsciously. Her magic would flow throughout the house charming all the kitchen apparel to have a mind of their own, or at least hers. Cedrics mother was a writer of fiction and when her inspiration peaked.. or exploded sometimes, her house would try to get rid of the magical energy that was left over. Cedric never asked but his mother was a Hufflepuff as well..

Cedric and William make their way to the stairs of the school. In their opinion it was always pretty ugly decorated. The paintings were the worst. Not only were the frames totally different from each other, creating a very ugly colorful environment. But the people in the paintings loved to mingle. And according to William there should have been a dress code for when they entered a different painting. He once thought of painting them himself but apparently that wasn't "Ethical" because the painter probably never intended them to have different clothing. Well neither did they intend the people in the paintings to walk into brown backgrounds with yellow suits, he thought. 

Also they're doing nothing but gossip. So if you're accidentally not tucking in your shirt right, or didnt notice your sho laces were untied. You'd hear that from all the way to the highest floor almost like an echo, but worse.. Fortunately for the girls the opposite applies as well. So they could sometimes enjoy an echo of "you're looking great!" and "my if i was five hundred years younger" coming from the walls. 

"That was an excellent dinner", William said. "I wish we had a dinner like this every day. Although it'd feel less special then."

"Well that would be a huge drag for the house elves then. Making a dinner like this every day for a few hundred people. As if slavery isn't enough.", Cedric replied. 

William wondered if that would actually be the case. "Well maybe they love cooking like this every once in a while. Perhaps we can ask them if they'd love to cook like this for once in particular. Like every month or something. Maybe they qouls  really appreciate that.", he said with a greedy undertone. 

Through the four years Wiliam and Cedric have been on Hogwards, they have figured out a lot about the school. They had figured out a lot fo the secret passages and once they met Fred and George who knew even more secret passages, they could claim they knew almost everything there was to know. What surprised Cedric and William was that Fred and George never knew about the secret chamber on the seventh floor, which they figured out in their second year. Although they had to admit it was an accident. They were releasing about fifty chocolate frogs on that floor out of boredom and to piss off Filch. He didn't know all the passageways and he hated magical stuff like that. And it took him pretty long to get up there. So they could have a game without being interrupted. But while looking for the frogs, they kept on lookinf for the frogs, and after passing the wall there the entrance of the room was three times, a door appeared. Baffled as they were they still opened the door and that was the last thing they should've done.. Thousands of chocolate frogs were jumping inside and the noise was incredible. After that apparently professor Quirrel made sure that that room was never to be opened like that again, and hired a few trolls to get rid of them. At least that was the rumor. They remembered how scared the students were when they heard there were trolls in the school..
