It Isn't Torture if There's Cake! (Open, River and Kurama, Great Hall)

[biblerewrite.livejournal.com]

_{OOC: Backdated to July 22; the kitchen will be back in shape for Beowulf, of course. Happy Birthday, Bad Fox :D A appears with mun approval.}

Observation happened to be a bit of a specialty of River's. Since she'd been at Hogwarts (at least in recent memory) she'd observed that, on the same day every year, the House Elves followed that Bad Fox around and forced him to eat cake and accept small things in packages. River might not have been the type to remember to get someone a gift, but she knew a birthday when she saw one.

This year, though, the elves seemed to be distracted by a sudden jungle of vines infiltrating the kitchens. They were too busy trying to magic them away (or, when that failed, take axes and various cutlery to the indomitable vines) to remember that it was time to torment one of the staff.

( And so it befell River, who observed that tradition should be upheld, to make sure Kurama had a very festive birthday indeed. )

<sub>Be sure to specify if you want to talk to River or A, or 'congratulate' Kurama in your reply, if applicable. Many happy returns!

edit because one of these rooms is not like the other.</sub>
