"I guess I keep baking to hold onto that feeling." She remembered her conversation over at the Slytherin table with Hyun. He had asked a similar question and she hadn't had a proper answer for him then. "I guess I want others to feel that joy. When you make something from the heart, those feelings are put into your creation and then others can feel that when they share it." Wow, who knew cookies could be so philosophical?

Kurumi smiled at Selina. "I suppose you've already talked to Simon about Quidditch then?" Selina really seemed to enjoy talking about the sport, almost more than Adam. Kurumi was going to have to do some extra studying on the side about the sport.
