(Inspired by recent events)
Hiro missed what he had to leave behind. The only thing that he could bring with him was his cooking, so Hiro was in the secret room again cooking his favorite Japanese dishes. There was a large stove in front of him and along side were plenty of spices, oils, sauces, vegetables and seafood. Hiro had a flat headed spatula in one hand and a large fork-like prong in the other. He was spreading the cooking oil when the steam started rising. Hiro knew that the smells would gather a group (as it often did) so he had enough supplies to feed five people though if Drew should up he'd need more even if they were the only two in there. His blindfold in it's normal spot and a cheif's hat on he continued his work.

Appearing out of no where, Ivy jumped in randomly like she usually did. "Aye! Japanese food? Hiro-- you're Japanese?" Although she was Chinese, she absolutely adored Japanese culture and food. Of course, Japanese food was in NO WAY as good as Chinese... but it was still decent. ( ;D) Ivy especially loved Kogyarus of Japan, but that was starting to wane.
She admired all the ingredients of the food and smirked to herself. "Eh... I challenge you," she said vaguely.

Ash stopped, smelling the nice aroma of food... aih, smells nice... She thought hugging herself. She began to walk in the direct of the nice smell, she could hardly control herself. It was as if it was dragging her along. She hardly noticed that she was headed towards the direction of that strange room she had found Reina in, she was obviously too occupied with the smell.
Somehow, despite the nice food they had in the Great Hall, it wasn't the same as this... she found herself entering a small room with two people inside. One, was Ivy, which was pretty unfortunate for Ash and the other was a boy she didn't reconize. "Um, I hope I'm not interrupting." she said smiling, staring at the nice set out of materials for cooking. She was curious why this was all here.

Teriyaki. Yup, that was definitely what it was... teriyaki. Drew followed his nose down the hall to the door of the Room of Requirement. It didn't matter if the door was open or not. Drew's stomach was making it very clear he NEEDED Japanese food.
"ASANASAI!" he shouted out which was his aproximation of what the sushi chefs back home called out when he walked into the restaurant. "Which is roughly translated to STUPID WHITE GUY WHO CAN'T USE CHOPSTICKS!" He mosied up to the counter and took a seat on a convenient stool, smiling at the two girls.
"So what are we cooking today, Hiro?" he asked the master chef.

Arianna smacked her forehead as she came upon the tapestry of Barnaby and his trolls. Once again she had been beaten to the room. She wasn't going to be distracted this time, though. The girl had a wonderful idea for her next artwork and nothing was going to keep her from doing it.
Passing through the doorway, Arianna passed the small group, doing her best to ignore the wonderful smells, and found herself standing before a door that previously was not there. Into that very door she disappeared, creating quite a noise when she tripped over whatever was hidden within.

(XD omg, Drew... you never fail to crack me up. xD ) Ivy blinked at Drew a few times. She had no idea what asanasai. Usually when she came into a Japanese restaurant, people would greet her with a hearty irashaimase. "Eh... Ash, wei shen ma Drew shi baka?" she giggled slightly and looked at Drew slyly. " Bai ren..." she sniggered, but smiled at Drew innocently. (Angie, don't translate lol. if people must really know, just PM ;; ) Ivy noticed a Ravenclaw girl she had never seen before come in, but she didn't sit. She raised an eyebrow and wondered why she didn't sit in. From her robes, Ivy could tell that she was a Ravenclaw girl.

Ash pushed Ivy at her second comment although had to agree with her about the first, "I don't know, " she said shaking her head shamefully, then turned to Ivy again, " Don't be racist..." she said quietly, with a laugh and smiled to Drew and the rest of them, noticing that another Raven had arrived. She hadn't gotten a chance to speak to her although she reconized her.
Ash nodded to her,"Hello.", and smiled. It seemed that cooking had attracted quite a crowd although she didn't mind too much. " So, er, what exactly are you cooking?... and um, why is this equipment in this room?"

Drew frowned at the girls who were obviously talking about him... a lot like the kids had done in the fourth year class. maybe there was a pattern. The only difference was he had just suspected those kids had been talking about him. This time it was clear... and obviously something discriminatory. Yeah, it had been a joke when he had said it, but now, being the only white guy in the room wasn't so funny.
"Sorry... is this like an Asian only thing? Should I go?" he asked, honestly worried he had intruded on something he hadn't been invited to.

(wow... now I feel terrible ) Ivy immediately stopped sniggering, dropped her stupid expression, and had some sense knocked into her. "...no, I was only kidding," she said, feeling terrible. "Drew, I'm sorry-- I..." she didn't know what she intended. Ivy turned away from Drew, red in the face, unsure what to say. Why am I such an idiot?"Don't go, please? I'm terribly sorry..." I killed the mood, I killed it. I stabbed it with a knife, let it bleed, then I buried it. I even chopped it up, and burned it...Ivy had honestly felt terrible about what she had done. Perhaps worse than the average person. As a child, Ivy had been taunted because of her eyes. Sure, children were children, but it didn't mean that it didn't hurt. She would never wish this upon anyone. (..awkward)

{then tell me what you said about me}
Drew shrugged it off, pretending his feelings hadn't been hurt by the snub. Of all of the times he had felt like an idiot, this was probably the worst. "That's cool. I get it," he said calmly, already slipping off the stool. He knew neither Ivy or Ash liked him (Ash, he knew why, but Ivy was a mystery. Maybe because he hated her boyfriend?) and he really didn't want to be where he wasn't welcome.

((she said... "Why is Drew so stupid?" and "white guy..." Ash misinterpreted it as if she was throwing a racist insult. Actually, she was just repeating what Drew was saying, just in Chinese... does that make sense? And Ash and Ivy do like Drew... ;; They just don't want to admit it. )) "Stop, Drew!" Ivy covered her face with her hands. "I was being stupid! Please don't leave!" and she sincerely meant it, she grabbed his arm and tried to pull him back. "I was just being an idiot, I wasn't thinking..." Ivy never really thought, anyway. "Drew. Honestly, I want you to be here. We all do," she said firmly. "It's always better with you around anyway, you always lighten the mood. I'm sorry... but you seem to have misunderstood my intentions. I apologize." she bowed her head down, in the usual Chinese fashion that she was accostumed to. She usually didn't do this, but she sincerely wanted to show Drew respect, and wanted him to stay. "Don't leave." Or I'll seriously hex your butt onto the seat.

Drew shrugged again, pulling slightly away from Ivy and trying to show it didn't matter. Maybe he would start passing notes to Hiro in Braille and laugh. Then he could have secrets too. He bit on his lip and shrugged again, slowly taking a seat again, but this time on the opposite end from the girls. He wasn't sure he wanted to be near them anymore. {irony is it's not prejudice if I say it, but it is if someone else does. Weird huh? }

(Drew... you make me feel terrible. lol Why can't the Xins and Thorntons just get along? ) Ivy sighed, as long as he didn't leave. Yet, it didn't really make it seem much better. She looked away from Drew and held her head low, looking away from everyone else. I just can't make it better......then, she had a wondeful idea! Drew was the only white person, right? Maybe he would feel better if there was another white person! Ivy perked up. Yes, yes! That's the key! she thought in her head. I should become a white person...and... it'll make Drew feel better! (this is sooooo politically incorrect...xD) Ivy clenched her fist in determination and pointed her wand at herself. She wasn't very good at Transfiguration, but for Drew...she would try. She gulped, rather scared and incanted a spell, with a clear image of what she wanted to look like. She wanted to look like... Pamela Anderson... She closed her eyes tightly and... Poof!Ivy opened her eyes slowly and she thought that she felt okay. There was no pain... She sighed in relief, but... Something's wrong... She glanced at her arms and noticed they were grossly hairy. She also didn't have the Pamela Anderson signature (ah-hem) body. Mirror?! Mirror?! she thought desperately. Conveniently, there was a mirror there. What Ivy saw in the mirror made her shriek in terror. "Oh my gosh, I'm Richard Simmons!"

A scream came from the closet, now directly behind Drew, A crash followed and then a groan. As she had been coming out of the closet, Arianna had caught site of the scariest thing in the world. Well, maybe second scariest. Simmons definately wasn't someone she would invite to a party. (Why was he even there, anyway?)
And yet there he was across the way. Arianna had dropped her easel at the site, fell backwards into a shelf, the contents of which spilled over her, onto the floor, and out the door.

(( omg, we were just kidding in the DADA lesson xD))
It's always better with you around anyway, you always lighten the mood. I'm sorry... but you seem to have misunderstood my intentions. I apologize. Don't leave.
Ash crossed her arms, glaring at her sister. What is she doing now? Getting onto Drew...? she growled under her breath and turned away from Ivy angrily. Suddenly, the good food wasn't on her mind anymore. This was ridiculous, why did Ivy care if Drew left? She already had a boyfriend... what did she want with him? It's always better with you around anyway, you always lighten the mood. Ugh, stupid Ivy... she thought, coldly.
Although, suddenly Poof. She turned around, where's Ivy?...What the hell? Richard Simmons? She gasped and stared at the random celebrity in shock... she didn't know what to think nore say....
