From what she could remember, no boy has ever stared at her like he had been before, so it was new to her. All she could think was if there was something on her face still. It had to be the only reason she could come up with. Josie looked at him surprised when she'd heard his voice...squeak as he'd answered her question from before if he was alright or not. As she was ready to say something more, he'd spoken & his voice had squeaked once more. She could see that he was embarrassed by it, since he was turning a very bright red. Apparently he was just looking for his friends in his state of looking ill & panic-stricken, for what reason she was very curious. She couldn't help but look around with him & ask softly, "A-Are they..here?"
He was apologizing once more, but now for his voice breaking. From the looks of it, it didn't seem like it was his fault that it had happened, so why apologize for it? But still she couldn't help but say in a questionable tone, "...I-It's alright?"

She couldn't help but smile again as he clapped his hands together grabbing hold of the yeast after she'd asked him. Very happy that he was going to help her, mainly. She could use all of the help she could get. Josette moved out of his way, allowing him to pour the tablespoon of yeast into the bowl & so that she didn't make him trip or anything. He smiled at her once more & her lips turned upward in a small smile as well as they began to wait for those long ten minutes to go by.

As she waited for those ten minutes to go by she made little marks in her parchment just to keep track of their progress so far. Just as she'd finished making her little marks, Ethan was removing his wrist watch & placing it atop their workstation. Well that would definitely be a lot easier for the both of them to keep track of the time. And from the looks of it, 3 minutes had already gone by. He spoke again & her attention looking towards him again. "Only o-once though...But most of i-involved watching someone else do the baking mainly...I-I just added some chocolate c-chips..Don't know if it could r-really count as...experience.." Or maybe it could. Oh, drats, she'd messed up her wording. She shook her head quickly, "-Sorry..I-I mean..My father..doesn't allow me to cook or bake..." That's what she meant. Mhm. Yes. Her blue eyes upon the yeast as she waited for it to rise, & then glanced at his wrist watch. "F-Five minutes..


And yes. We see you, Simon. Ethan gave his friend a shrug and watched him ask another student if they could work together. The Slytherin felt proud and all that, because in just a few days, Simon seemed to be more outgoing now. Of course, he’d credit himself for that—what with talking non-stop and all in the Tree House, yeah? He won’t admit it out loud though. Hehe.

Ethan unintentionally locked eyes with her when she suddenly turned around to look at him. The Slytherin had to purse his lips in embarrassment. Whyyyyyy did he have to squeak that day? It doesn’t happen when he talks to Simon…or Cutty…or Grayson? Ethan started to chew on his lip and gave Josette side glances. He was sooooooo tempted to do a head desk right then and there. MERLIN. The Ravenclaw started to look around too, and Ethan decided to point at where Simon was standing. “That’s my friend, Simon over there.” And yes, they are sooooooo going to talk about this in their dorm room. He will be needing lots of assurance after this. “I haven’t seen Cutty or Grayson, though.” He said as he stole a glance at her.

He can’t help it, okay? MERLIN. He needs to ask Mordred about this…or his dad…or WHOEVER. Why can’t he stop looking at her? Hnnnngh.

Ethan had no words for that. He just grinned and nodded at her. Maybe he should just stop talking so that he will save himself from further embarrassment. But then, she was talking! So he must reply somehow! Merlin, this is hard.

Then there’s her smile again. JAHSDFLKDJFHKSFHALDSKHLAFSF.

Ethan caught himself gaping, but ended up smiling with her. Josie’s smile was something really. “Keep it together, Mordaunt. Act cool.” The Slytherin rolled his sleeves up to his elbows and took a peek at Josette’s parchment. Hmm. The steps are pretty basic…maybe later on they could experiment on it? Like…add spices to it and whatnot? That could also mean that he will be able to spend more time with her that way. He took a mental note, and immediately questioned it. “Would she even consider working with me again in the kitchen after this? That’s the question, Mordaunt.” His stream of thought was interrupted when his partner started talking again. So she did help somebody before! “I can’t even stay long in a kitchen, so you win.” No, he wasn’t exactly praising her, but simply stating the truth. He’d love to hang around inside a kitchen because there’s food but actual cooking? Maybe not. But…how come his father doesn’t allow her to bake? “Why? I mean, my mom used to force me to help her in the kitchen because she told me that I need to learn how to prepare my own food…” Which now makes sense. Oh and hey! No squeaks!

Ethan glanced at the board then to his watch on the table. “Ten minutes is up. I’ll add the salt and stir it. Then you can add the flour after. I’ll keep stirring and you can check if the consistency is okay.” Teamwork, yeah? The third year offered her another grin and proceeded with the next step.

Salt, and stir.
