Tiff was waiting down at the kitchen entrance for Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Dobby was finishing up the rest of his latest creation. A mountain of marshmallows held together with peanut butter, hot steamy mashed potatoes, sweet melted chocolate, and what looked like some Star Bomb sweets crumbled into the marshmallows. Some red juice liquid seeped out between the cracks.
"Dobby has finished." Dobby peered out of the portrait.
"You think you can bring it out here Dobby?" Tiff asked. "Harry, Ron, and Hermione might want to try it too.
"Oh, Dobby likes the idea. Dobby will bring out his dessert." Dobby went back behind the portrait and was gone for about two minutes. Dobby came back out with the dessert levitating its way over to Tiff.
"Oooo, Dobby it looks like you out did yourself again! Are you going to try it?"
"Dobby will try it after you have."
"Okay." Tiff made a fork appear. She took the top marshmallow and ate it. It tasted very good. "Dobby," Tiff said through her mouthful of chewy goodness, "What's this red stuff?"
"It is raspberry filling. Dobby tried it when Nipper made dessert called 'Raspberry Croissants'. Dobby liked it very much."
"Tiff, we're here. Okay so . . ."
"Wow! What's that?"
"It's Dobby's newest creation." Tiff said when she swallowed the marshmallow.
"What's in it Dobby?" Harry asked as he sat down. A fork appeared in front of him.
"Dobby put marshmallow, melted chocolate, peanut butter, raspberry filling, and mashed potatoes.
Harry tried the dessert. He didn't hear Dobby say that mashed potato was in it. "Dobby, this is delicious!"
"Let me have a bite." Ron sat down and tried it. "Hermione, you have to try this."
"Okay, but remember we're here to practice mind traveling." Hermione sat down and tasted a little bit of the dessert. "Mmm."
"Okay, now on to the lesson. Dobby, did you get the kitchen ready?"
"Yes, Miss."
"Okay, now what you have to do is think about the kitchen. Think about what it looks like. Try to remember everything you've seen in there."
"Okay, I'm thinking, now what?" Ron was as anxious as ever.
"Get yourself into a good steady position that you won't be able to fall."
Hermione stiffened up and waited for the next thing.
"Okay, I'm going to push you to see if you move or not." Tiff walked behind Ron and gave him a small shove. Ron fell to the ground. Harry chuckled at him and got ready for Tiff. She gave him a shove and he just moved his foot.
"Better than Ron. Hermione don't stiffen yourself like that. Try doing this." Tiff spread her legs apart. One in front of her one behind her. Tiff bent her front knee. "That should help."
Tiff shoved Hermione. She barely moved.
"Hey, why didn't you tell me that?" Ron asked.
"Because, you were an example of what would happen if you weren't in a strong position. Okay, now for the word. Sarmo."
"Sarmo?" Ron said. He was suddenly jolted. "Ahh!!!!"
"Be careful when you say it Ron." Tiff said. "Now, get in a good strong stand. Close your eyes, think about the kitchen's appearance." Tiff waited a few seconds. "Okay, now say Sarmo."
"Sarmo!" The three shouted. There was silence for a few seconds when Ton finally spoke up. "Now what?"
"Now open your eyes and you should see the kitchen. I'll be there in a sec. Sarmo." Tiff was there.
"Tiff I just see you. And we're not in the kitchen." Ron said as soon as he opened his eyes.
"Someone is in the kitchen Ron." Harry looked over at Hermione. "Hermione, are you in the kitchen?"
"Yes. Where are you and Ron? I see Tiff."
"We were unsuccessful."
Tiff forgot the kitchen scene and returned back to her body. "Hermione, forget about the kitchen scene and you'll return back to your body."
Hermione did as told. "That was exhilarating!"
"Now, while I work with Harry and Ron, you can practice on your own, but stay with the kitchen first. Okay, what did you do Ron?"
"I thought about the kitchen, and said Sarmoa."
"You pronounced it wrong. Leave the 'a' off. Now try."
Ron closed his eyes and thought of the kitchen. "Sarmo. I did it!"
"Okay and now forget the thought and you'll be back."
Ron forgot the thought and he was so happy he hugged Tiff. When he realized what he did he backed away frightened at what he did. "Sorry."
"I understand. I did that with Aaron when he first taught me. Anyways practice with Hermione, and you two can chat for while in the kitchen if you want."
"Okay." Ron went over next to Hermione. He did the spell and was back in the kitchen.
"Now, for you Harry. I wonder what happened. You pronounced the spell right. You most likely had the vision of the kitchen. Am I right?"
"Yes. So, why didn't it work?"
"I'll be right back. I think I have a theory. Sarmo." Tiff went to the palace library. She searched the books and found the Sarmo spell book. She looked through the book until she came across a section talking about types of reasons to why the spell might not work, even if everything was done correctly. Tiff started to read what it said when she got to a part that answered the question. Tiff forgot the scene and went back to Harry.
"So, did you figure it out?"
"I think so. Since you have the lighting bolt scar on your forehead, you have to do an extra part. You have to say 'Sarmova'. It's like an extra helper. Okay, now try it."
Harry did the previous steps that he learned a couple minutes ago. "Sarmova." He traveled through a rainbow tunnel. When the tunnel ended Harry saw the kitchen. "It worked!"
"Great now forget about the thought and come back."
Harry forgot the kitchen and he was right back in the entryway. "Wow, I like that better."
"Just wait it'll get harder. We'll meet tomorrow here again, same time. Dobby, put that dessert on the tables during lunch or dinner. Everyone will love it!"
"Dobby will do that." Dobby went back to the kitchen with the empty plate, and forks.
"I'll see the rest of you in the morning at lunch." Tiff flew off quicker than Harry on his broomstick.
The trio left to go back to their dormitories.
