The toast certainly looks normal... I pick it up and have a quick sniff of it. Smells pretty normal too. Better check the pumpkin juice too. *sniff* Euch. Definatly smells weird. Swinging around, I grab Deans pumpkin juice, batting his hand away and pull it out of his reach. No one would try to poison me, would they? Can't be too sure. *sniff* Good, it's not just mine. What, in Merlins saggy left boob would do this? Was it Lil and Mandy stuffing around with the kitchens again? I pinch my nose and take another bite of toast. Frick. The food tastes almost like what I had for dinner last night... |

I love pancakes. LOVE pancakes. So why the bloody hell do they taste like brussel sprouts?! "Ick!" I say, and realise that Susan had the same reaction to the porridge. Now everyone else in the Great Hall who had shown up for breakfast, were also gaging at the flavor of their food. "I don't know!" I reply to Susan. "Everything was perfectly tasty yesterday!" And when Mandy and I went down to the kitchens last night I add, but not out loud. I groan. "I'm really hungry! Even the syrup tastes gross! Why does it all taste like the same thing?!" I groan again and rest my head on my folded arms on the table. |

I push my bowl away, feeling slightly ill. "Maybe we should tell one of the professors..." I begin, but when I look up at the staff table I realise they're having the same problem. Flitwick and McGonagall leave the Hall, hopefully to sort out the problem. Phew. There's nothing they can't sort... right? "Hey, Lil." I poke her shoulder. "I've got some Honeydukes chocolate here. Want some?" I snap off a few squares for myself, feeling better when the chocolate gets rid of the bad taste in my mouth. Luckily I always carry around some food in my bag to nibble in between lessons. (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread) |

My eyes are closed and my head is still resting on my arms. My stomach grumbles. Aw peas. I hear Susan say something about telling the professors. "I bet they have something to do with it" I mumble back. I raise my head as I get a poke in my shoulder and hear Susan offer chocolate. I grin and accept the chocolate. Susan to the rescue!!

Hee! Susan to the rescue indeed. I swallow my mouthful of chocolate and start to giggle. "What was that? You think the professors had something to do with this?" I look up at the staff table again. None of them look very amused. Umbridge in particular looks about ready to kill someone. "Ooh. Umbridge looks livid. Defence isn't going to be fun today... Not that it ever is, of course." |

Rancid. I mean, seriously, brussel sprouts? It's on par with the taste of 'scourgify' soap I became so very well acquainted with when I was a child because Maman and Dad didn't appreciate my vocabulary. Putting down my fork, I push my waffles away and turn to my fellow Ravenclaws. "How much you want to bet that Umbridge conned the house-elves into doing this?" Because given this disgusted looks around the Great Hall, this is not fate's way of telling me to go on a diet. |

Kitchen raids are really quite tiring. Well, not so much the whole raiding and eating the food, but more the consequences. I know, I know. It was irresponsible of me to leave my Care of M homework until the last minute, but it's not like Hagrid really ever checks it, but I knew I had to do it eventually thus my pulling an all nighter. Feeling rather dead, I picked my fork up and stabbed at a piece of toast, not noticing the groans and complaints from the people around me. I didn't even bother smelling it, completely unaware of what awaited me. Stuffing the toast in my mouth I promptly spat it back out. I stared at the blob that had been a perfect piece of toast a few seconds ago completely confused. "URGH! WHAT THE-?" Was this the house elve's way of revenge? Were they finally sick of Lil and I raiding the kitchens every once in a while and causing a mess. I look around for an answer, and considering that everyone had the same shocked, disgusted look as I had, I'm guessing it wasn't revenge. "I feel sick," I turn and listen to Sylvie talk. Only I wasn't really listening, I was just nodding still half asleep, and grumpy until I hear the word Umbridge tossed into the string of words I couldn't really make out. "Of course it's Umbridge. That bloody cow." (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread) |

I hadn't actually started eating yet when Sylvie and Mandy started comlpaining about the taste of the food. "I'm sure it's not that bad." I say, buttering my toast then taking a bite. My face scrunches up as soon as I bite into it. "Ugh. I take that back. This is disguisting." the Hogwarts food had always been so good. So what was wrong with it now? "It better only taste like this today." I say, poking my toast with my knife and fork. There was no way I was eating anymore. (Reply to this)(Parent) (Thread) |

I sit quietly a bit down the table and eat my brussel sprout flavoured porridge and listen to the other Ravenclaws complain. Fortunately (at least, I suppose it's fortunate), Mum had raised me not to be a picky eater. "Finish everything on your plate; we can't afford to waste that", you know, so while this certainly wasn't my favourite taste in the world (and really, really odd coming out the consistency of porridge) I could stomach it, and I may as well rather than go hungry all day. And that's...that. |
