Who: Kevin Dennaahe and OPEN What: Kevin becomes avenue for a cruel joke When: Lunch, Saturday, September 9, 2017 Where: Great Hall
There really ought to be a warning on some of the Weasley projects. Keep away from first year Muggle borns would be a good one. Then again, how was Kevin supposed to know the friendly offer from the fifth year was a set up?
He had been sitting in the common room after breakfast reading through his History of Magic text. Okay, so maybe that made him a bit nerdy. Eveyone one else lamented how boring the class was, and Kevin had to admit that Professor Binns didn't bring the subject to life. Yet not having grown up in the magical world he was hungry to learn everything he could about the Wizarding world.
As he'd reached the end of a chapter, he folded the book closed and noticed an older student watching him. When they made eye contact the other boy called Kevin over and offered him a small package. He'd told Kevin that the bottle inside the package contained special flavoring that change the flavor of your food to whatever you were craving at the time. Kevin wondered why he was being offered something that seemed to him to be a commodity. When he tried to deny it, the older boy said to consider it a welcome gift and that each of the guys in his dorm had decided to adopt a first year to help them feel welcome. Kevin graciously took it and placed the bottle in his pocket to try at lunch.
Once he loaded his plate down Kevin took the bottle out of his robe and contemplated what taste he wanted. He imagined the taste of his mother's cheddar potato caserole. Slowly he opened the bottle and turned it to shake the contents onto his plate. As soon as he jarred the contents of the bottle there was a giant bang followed by a huge powder cloud that began to settle on every plate in the Great Hall. Now everyone's food tasted like brussel sprouts.
