Em smiled as Dani took her seat next to him. He was especially surprised at how excited he was to see her; apparently planning to break the rules was rather exciting to him. He smiled at her, and secretly held up the wrapper, a mischievous smile on his face, before casually sliding it into Dani's hand.
"That, my friend, is an exploding bonbon. Or, as you should call it, your signal. If you get caught, you throw this before you abandon me, and let me know that I need to hide and get the hell out of the kitchen,"Em laughed, taking a sip of his pumpkin juice.
As he spoke, the fantastic food that Hogwarts elves are known for, appeared before them. Em reached out and grabbed himself a scoop of shepherds pie, offering to put some on Dani's plate too.
"I have also procured your school cloak, by the way. Emily was happy to help, but it cost me my last two chocolate bars from Honeydukes. I won't get any more until Christmas holiday, so I hope we are successful." Em too a bite of his food, and patted his bag; indicating the robe were with him. "I took a few moments to scout out the kitchens before dinner. I think the only concern we truly have is the caretaker. Though, I've heard they are easily distracted. And, of course, there is our friend over there too."
Em gestured with his fork over at the stern prefect, who was even eating his food in a organized, and proper way. He was definitely going to be an issue, though Em had started working on a plan for him.

@Emmanuel BourneDanielle grasped the brightly colored paper as Em slid it into her hand, careful not to crush the item he soon explained was an exploding bonbon. She grinned, laughing along with him as he explained that the exploding bonbon would be her warning signal if she were to get caught.
Dani nodded in understanding, before focusing on the food before them. She muttered a 'Yes please' and 'Thank you' to Em as he offered to put some Sheperd's Pie on her plate. In addition to Sheperd's Pie, Danielle grabbed some stew to place into the bowl beside her plate and filled her goblet with pumpkin juice. She unfolded her napkin, placing the item on her lap before she began eating her food with the etiquette that had been drilled in her brain since childhood.
Continuing to listen to Em speak, she mentally cheered as he stated that he'd secured the Hufflepuff robe for her. "Don't worry Em. I'm sure we can grab more chocolate when we raid the Kitchens." She stated, not too worried about the chocolate he'd sacrificed. She took a glance over in the direction of the incredibly uptight Prefect as he ate with the joyous girl. Tearing her eyes away from the duo, she spoke, "I must admit," she started once Em had finished his points, "I found myself taking the routes by the Kitchens far more often than the previous days this week. There aren't many spots to hide there, other than the Kitchen itself and the shadows." She continued, "Though hopefully, our timing should ensure that no one will catch us, since everyone will be at dinner." She pointed out, taking another bite of her food and silently praying that she'd be right and that nothing would uproot their plans.

Em nodded as Dani spoke, the flavors of shepherds pie bringing some vigor to his being. He hadn't realized it, but he did not eat anything since they last spoke. The muffin he had grabbed will have been sacrificed to a pile of crumbs in the bottom of his bag. He made a mental note to tell Dani to shake out the robe before putting it on tomorrow.
Em swallowed, keeping his eyes on the uptight prefect; studying his mannerisms. "I did a preliminary check down there myself, and I agree. Not a ton of places to hide. There is, however, a bench. It's near the tapestry on the opposite side of the Kitchen door. I was thinking you could sit there, maybe look a bit sad or something, and blend in," he suggested, taking another vigorous bite of food. It was particularly delicious today.
"Do you find yourself to be rather charming when speaking to authority figures? I'm wondering if we should divide and conquer. You can speak to the nice looking prefect, see if you may be able to charm her into sanctioning the party. And I will slip a puking pastille in the up-tight one's breakfast, or something. Have him spend the day and evening in the hospital wing, out of our hair. Unless, you think there's a way to convince him to allow it?" Em asked, skeptically.
Although poisoning another student was very far down Em's list, he felt that every plan they could conjure would find its end in detention at the strict prefect's hand. He made a mental note to observe him in the common room this evening, see if he has anything Em could rally behind before slipping him the joke candy.

@Emmanuel BourneDanielle nodded in understanding. She didn't quite like how in the open the bench was, but it would have to do. It beats standing for who knows how long. Plus all she had to do was wear the Hufflepuff robe, watch for people, and if anyone did come by them (which should be unlikely), use their planned warning signal and act like a whiny and sad first-year Hufflepuff.
Dani scrunched her nose up in distaste and the mention of Em's puking pastille idea. It wasn't a bad idea, yet not a favorable one either. Thinking about it more, it seemed like there was no other choice. " I could try and distract, or as you said, charm them while you slip the puking pastille in. They wouldn't be very good prefects if they denied a poor, little, intimidated first-year who tried to ask for a bit of help." Danielle said, her lips forming a pout and changing her tone to one that mocked a small child before she smirked. " Convincing the girl, on the other hand, could either go wrong and get us caught, or go perfectly fine." She pointed out again, pausing before continuing to speak. "Though maybe we won't have to convince them. They look awfully close, so if we were to be successful in slipping a puking pastille into the boy's food, I reckon the girl would try and spend as much time as she could with him."

Em mulled over Dani's observation. At further glance, he realized that the stiff prefect would occasionally extend a finger, to caress the relaxed girl's hand. Surely, this was the only amount of affection he would allow them to have in such a populated place; in an attempt to maintain a professional demeanor.
A thought crossed Em's head, and he set down his fork. He weighed sharing the idea with Dani. He doesn't want to come cross as malicious. He would rather everyone in Ravenclaw house enjoy the party together; rather than them using candy to jinx another student. Though, he figured, the prefects were an unavoidable obstacle.
"We could try to invite them, though I doubt that would go well. You can't blame them for putting a stop to a party; it's their responsibility," Em thought aloud, deciding he would share with Dani his first thought. "We could slip the puking pastille to the girl. He's touching her hand, I think they might be dating. If she went to hospital for the night, I wonder if he'd be willing to leave her side. Though, if you have another idea, I am all ears," He said, looking his cohort in her eyes, and grabbing his fork again; famished.

@Emmanuel BourneDanielle watched as Em set down his fork, seemingly in deep thought. She took another forkful of her food, ready to listen to what Em had to say if he decided to voice his thoughts. When he did, Danielle subtly glanced back and forth at the duo as he voiced his observations. Listening to his idea, Dani began to slowly nod as he made eye contact with her, only breaking the eye contact with Em as she took another bite of food, swallowing before speaking.
"...I think that may be the best way to go." she said. "Obviously he won't leave her, and even though I wouldn't wish for something like that to happen to anyone, it gets both of them out of the way. Just make sure when you slip it into her food, you cut off the purple side or something." She suggested.
When their plan was put into action, she did not want to be the one slipping the puking pastille into the girl's food. Just seeing someone else vomit, made her want to vomit, and Danielle hated vomiting. Shaking her head clear from the thoughts about vomit, she slightly pushed away her food, sighing as she realized her appetite had been lost.
Setting down her fork, Danielle then began to put in a little more thought on their idea, a small frown appearing on her face. "We have to be careful though. If we're caught by him," she emphasized her words, tilting her head in the male prefect's direction, "The punishment will surely be a whole lot worse than if a teacher were to catch us."
Glancing at the male prefect again, Danielle slightly shuddered. She did not want to be on his bad side. Ever. And considering the girl looked to be incredibly important to him, Dani concluded that messing with the girl was a one-way trip to his bad side.

Em chewed on what Dani said, along side his dinner. Taking a sip of pumpkin juice, he kept his eyes on the couple. Surely getting them off their backs shouldn't be too hard. The questions was how? Em pondered this over another swig of pumpkin juice. The sweet elixir coated his tongue, the tart flavor of the pumpkin giving a contrary note on his tongue. Em was struck with the idea, that sometimes contrasting things could also be complimentary.
He set his goblet down, and turned a bit towards Dani in his spot. "Slipping her the pastille is the hard part moving forward. Even though I was early to breakfast, she was already here. So was the boy. They likely have some sort of rendezvous before classes. How do you feel about using a bit of a distraction in the common room tomorrow morning, around 5:30?" Em suggested, looking at his counter part.
"You could use Periculum to cause a bit of a scene in the common room, say you were practicing; but be sure to break something, and make it loud. I'll be well out of the way by then. It'll just give me time to sneak the pink side into her morning refreshment."
The idea came to him quickly, but he decided that they only had a very small window of opportunity. Em secret contemplated slipping the boy a bit of the purple side, for good measure. It may be better to have them both down for the count, rather than trust in their inseparability. Though, that would be for him to decide in the morning.
He turned back to his plate, head swimming with probabilities. Overall, he was hopeful. Hopefully that not only would he make a new friend out of this; but that him and Dani would make quite the impression on their other Ravenclaws.

@Emmanuel BourneDanielle almost groaned out loud as Em mentioned being up at 5:30 in the morning to cause some distraction. That was earlier than she was normally up. Sighing, she nodded, whether or not she liked it, she knew for their plans to succeed, she'd have to sacrifice her beauty sleep. She then scrunched her nose up as Em said that she should break something while 'practicing' periculum. She didn't enjoy the idea of breaking something, though she figured that an older student could use 'reparo' to fix whatever she was to break.
"Alright. 5:30 it is then." she said with a sigh, taking a small sip of her pumpkin juice before she muttered to herself, "If I don't get a detention for sneaking into the kitchens, surely I will from this."
Danielle hoped that when put into action, their plan would succeed and go without a hitch. Their plan was incredibly well thought out and in the long run, 100% completely worth it so they could throw a beginning-of-year party. And even if she did end up with a detention, it wasn't the end of the world, and Dani was sure she'd still be able to throw the party with Em.
"Oh I do hope this works out as we want it to." she said to Em, voicing her thoughts out loud for him to hear.

Em let out a quiet, and gentle laugh, setting down his fork and turning to face Dani directly.
His face was kind, soft pale skin, and slightly rosy cheeks (even when not embarrassed). His combed hair was looking a bit agitated from his hustle to get to the Great Hall from the kitchens. His Blue and Bronze toe was crooked, and he had a small amount of mashed potato lingering on the right corner of his mouth.
Em let out a small sigh, not out of frustration, but out of understanding for Dani’s concern.
”I know we’ve mentioned this before, but I have no intention of you receiving detention on my behalf. Yes, it’s true that if we are caught, we likely will be punished. I’m prepared to take full responsibility for that; however, if you want to back out now, I wouldn’t blame you,” his tone was soft, and kind. He wasn’t being judgmental, but genuinely giving Dani an out. They hadn’t done anything so far, they could back out now.
Though, as of tomorrow morning, the second that spell goes off in the common room, they were on the hook.
“It’s my goal to avoid detention all together, if possible. With great risk, comes great reward! I can taste my butter beer now,” Em mused, licking his lips.
“But I promise, I won’t think you’re a coward, I mean, we aren’t in Gryffindor,” he teased, poking his tongue out at her.

@Emmanuel BourneDani smiled slightly as Em laughed, turning to face her. He kindly let her know that he truly had no intention of getting her in trouble on his behalf, even allowing her to back out of their plan if she wanted to. Danielle knew that the second she set off the spell in the common room, she'd officially be a part of the plan and be at risk of getting in trouble.
She nodded along with Em as he stated that with great risk came great reward before laughing as he poked his tongue out at her. She then grabbed her drink, taking a small sip before speaking, "I have zero intention of backing out now. Especially after all that planning. Would hate for it to go to waste." She laughed. "If I get a detention, it's whatever. The sun will rise, the sun will set, the world keeps spinning."
Of course, getting a detention wasn't ideal, but it wasn't the end of the world. She wanted to make sure Em knew that. It was that moment when Danielle decided that come the next morning, she would be prepared and she would succeed so Em could succeed. They were going to have that first-week party.
