And I Wait....

Open;



James wondered around looking for the kitchen. James had missed lunch and was really hungry. He was just wearing a MCR shirt with some loose jeans. It took him a while to find the kitchen. It was a pretty big school and he was pretty bad at directions.

When he finally found the kitchen he took a step inside and looked around. He took a seat and watched the little house elf's work for a while.They were rushing to prepare dinner which would start in about an hour or so.

A house elf came up to him and asked him what he wanted. He just asked for a simple sandwhich. The house elf quickly made him one then went back to work. James took a bite out of his sandwhich, which supringly was really good. He ate while watching the house elf's work. The door to the kitchen opened but James didn't take notice.

Emma quickly pushed open the big wooden door that was in front of her. Her arms were loaded down with books, the usual stack. Entering, she announced, "Sorry I'm late, I..." she stopped. Glancing around she realized that this wasn't the World of Literature classroom.

"Darn it," she muttered under her breath. "I did it again." Now taking a good look at the room she had entered, she realized that she was in the kitchen. Her eyes sweeping around the room, she spotted a boy sitting alone at a table.

She quickly walked over, set her books on the floor, and sat next to him. "Hi!" she said. "I'm Emma, I think I've seen you around in some of my classes. Are you new here?"

James turned when he heard somebody talk. A girl entered the room carrying a stack of books. It looked a bit to heavy for her, but then again what did he know?

She began apologizing for being late. James wasn't really sure what she was talking about.She looked around,she must be in the wrong place thought James to himself with a shrug.

He went back to his sandwhich, and continued watching the little elves. The girl came and took a seat next to him. He watched her as she introduced herself. Well now it was his turn.

"James" he said attempting a small smile. "Yeah i think i've seen you in some classes" He said thinking about it. He was usually late to class so he only had a breif moment to look at the other students there. "Yeah" he said when she asked if he was new. He continued eating his sandwhich not really sure what to say.

"What were you talking about earlier?" he asked. "When you were aplogizing for being late" he explained. He glanced at her waiting for her answer, before going back to his sandwhich.

"Oh, that..." she said, smiling sheepishly. Her already rosy cheeks turning a deeper pink. "Well, I'm still pretty new to the castle too. I came during the term change and pretty much stayed in my dorm reading," she indicated the books next to her.

"So now, occasionally I find myself in the wrong room," she shook her head. "They need to put up big neon signs, "EMMA WINTERS, TURN HERE", I swear one of these days I'm gonna end up in France or something," she shook her head and continued. "So anyways, I thought that the door to the kitchen was actually the door to my World of Literature class. Guess I was wrong," she said, ending her story.

"So tell me about yourself mister James," she said, standing up from her stool. Having been in the kitchen before for a secret midnight snack, she knew her way around. One of the house elves offered the help her but she politely declined. They already had enough to do without worrying about her. Going over to one of the larger cupboards, she pulled out a box of vanilla wafers. She then poured herself a glass of 2% milk and sat down again.

She plopped the box down on the table and set the milk down after it. Reaching her hand in, she pulled out a circular shape cookie-type wafer, and dipped it into the milk. "Feel free to take some," she said, implying the wafers as well as the milk.

James laughed a bit when Emma began blushing. Wow she was really bad at directions. James was bad at directions but not THAT bad. He usually found the class he was looking for ,but he was always late.

James watched as she stood up and went to the cupboards. It looked like she knew her way around the kitchen. James took a bite out of his sandwich and continued watching her. She had some vanilla waffles and some milk. She offered him some so he decided to try one.

"Thanks" he said while taking one. He put the waffle on his plate. He would eat it after he finished his sandwich. He then looked to her not really sure what to say.
