About the Kitchens and House-Elves

[mme. o. maxime]

Beauxbatons kitchens are located directly below the Dining Chamber and are just the same size. They have high ceilings and great big brick fireplaces at both ends. Mounds of brass pots and pans are heaped around the walls. There are preparation tables directly below the four house tables in the Hall above, and when the time comes for the food to be served, it is magically transported through the ceiling of the kitchen onto the plates. The kitchens are staffed by over a hundred house-elves. To get to the kitchens, take the door to the right of the main staircase in the entrance hall. Follow the corridor until you come to vegetables. Tickle the carrot and it turns into a door handle.

[Izzy the House-Elf]

Elf's Name: Izrael a.k.a. "Izzy"

Elf's Age: Like.... 40 in human years.

Short History behind Izzy:

Izrael was born to Grizelda, a simple and jolly kitchen worker of a country home in the south of france, a few decades back, when the parents, uncles, aunts, and grandparents of some more current pupils, were merely third and fourth years at Beauvbatons. However, Grizelda soon afterward died, leaving her son to strive to survive in the dreary kitchens, alone and unaided, and without his mother to show him the ropes.

Whilst working in the kitchens, Izzy has always had evil glances thrown at him from his fellow elves, envious of his youth and liveliness, as well as his optimistic- and free-spirit in a place where all the elves were known for their droid-like behavior.

One day his master passed away leaving no one to claim the house elves so they packed up and left going there own ways. Izzy never having not worked before headed to the school where his master had gone.... Beauxbatons. And got himself a job in the kitchens

His closest friend in the kitchens would without a doubt be Ivy, a young, free-spirited elf who makes him miss his even younger days dearly.

Description of Izzy:

Izzy, has often been threatened to be reported by the elder elves of kitchens, due to his sympathy for students who come down to the kitchens and ask for food. He can't help it, he's a generally nice person elf! And to add on to that, he admires humans and often finds himself slipping away from the kitchens, invisible of course, watching how these creatures, he cooks for daily, behave.

Always one of the first to take on a challenge, Izzy is youthful, lively, free-spirited, and generally optimistic; the apparent opposite of some of his fellow elves. Izzy is oblivious to the fact that a number of the more older elves (in like their 150s, etc.) simply envy and despise his joyful demeanor, and how he's one of the few elves admired by the members of student body, as well as Madam Olympe herself.
;D

[Ivy the House-Elf]

Elf's Name++ Ivy

Elf's Age++ About 19 & 1/2 in human years.

Short History Behind Ivy++
Ivy was born quite a long time ago, to Peony, a lovely house elf who followed all the rules of society. Ivy, however, longed to be like the witches and wizards, able to do what she wanted when she wanted. However, as she grew older, she was tamed, she worked like she was supposed to, but maintained a personality that shone through like a sparkling gem.

One of Ivy's only friends in the kitchens is Izzy, a very free-spirited elf much like herself in many ways. He's very kind, and very helpful, and she almost looks up to him. But some days, she just gets up grumpy, and she has to stick her hands in the flames of the kitchen's fire.

Description of Ivy++

She's short, with pointy ears [ although the left is slightly crooked ] and a lovely little turquoise blue jumper given to her at birth. Of course it is a teeny bit small now, but she loves it just the same. It matches her right eye, which is a sea blue. Her left eye is a chocolate brown color, and is a strange sight to see in a house elf. She finds it to show how unique she is however, and her sparkling bubbly personality shines through.

Ivy is a very clean little elf, but she sometimes wishes to be more like Izzy, who doesn't realize the elderly elves wish to be him so much that they look down on him conceitedly. She wants to be as free - spirited as him someday, but right now she lacks the guts to do so.
