SPOILER!!: Josette

She was certainly interested to see the other friends he had been talking about, but she didn't want to come across as too curious. Josie did know quite a few people from her house too, mainly from playing Quidditch, so she'd seen them a lot, not only that they were definitely almost like a second family to her. She really missed playing with all of them. But, hopefully they'd be able to play next term? But alas, she learned the names of Ethan's friends, not being familiar with any of them at all, but she'd simply nod at each face he pointed out to her & would give him a small smile as a response. When he'd said that he had yet to make friends with the other houses she spoke up a bit, "I-I've only met a few people..outside of my house...B-But not a lot..."

Without thinking, she leaned in a little close to watch him stir the dough, just to make sure that everything was turning out alright. It was when she realized they were inches from touching, did she clear her throat nervously & inch away to open up that space between once more. Just then he spoke & she found that he was a transfer student, just like that one boy she'd met in Diagon Alley. "W-Where'd you..transfer from-I-I mean, um, where did you used to attend s-school?" Then he'd asked another question, looking like he was trying to keep her talking. But it was a good question though, why were the students sorted into different housing. Josie gave a shrug before saying, "I-I'm not too sure really...But..maybe, it could have something t-to do with everyone's p-personalities...Maybe?" That kind of sounded like a dull answer really, not a very good one either. Before even trying to recover from that terrible answer she was asked another question. "Um..No, I didn't t-transfer...I-I started attending school here..last year.."

Watching him stir, not watching him, nope.

Maybe she shouldn't have told him that. It was a moment that was very scary & her father nearly had a heart attack from that incident. Thankfully he was in the next room, so she was quick to call him for help. Although, she did feel a little bit better when he told her that his cousin had set his family's library on fire, but he hadn't been baking though, so of course it was a different situation, but still, it was a nice effort to make her feel a little better. "Mhm..H-He was in the next room..I didn't know w-what to do...It was..pretty scary.." She would have went on to say something, but stopped herself as he was speaking again before her. Best not to be rude & try to talk over him. The brunette smiled a little bit, "R-Really? I-I guess..that could be a good time..to work on it...A-And..hopefully..not set anything on fire...again.." And he did make a good point, she could always use magic to put the fire out..or she could just..panic & look for a Professor..or maybe even the House Elves might be nice enough to help her, even if they would probably be VERY upset with her.

Thank goodness, this dough was doing everything it was supposed to be doing. It was such a relief! Ella would be SO proud of her! She looked at him after he apparently sounded like he was tired from stirring. Josie asked, "A-Are you going to be a-alright?" Oh, he'd wiped flour on his forehead & in his hair. She couldn't help but eye the flour on his forehead & hair for a few moments before she softly told him, "U-Um..you've got a little..Bit of-um.." Instead of touching his face or hair, she traced the areas on her own forehead & hair where the flour was located on him, so he might figure it out easier. But she was really relieved that their dough was looking alright.

Now it was time for them to move onto the next step, which was to spray another bowl with cooking spray & place their dough in the new bowl. She didn't get in Ethan's way as he reached for the spray, quickly figuring out that he was going to do the fourth step himself. But she noticed something was odd, wasn't it supposed to be facing the other way? She opened her mouth to stop him but all she could get out was, "-Uh-Uh wai-" but it was too late, he'd sprayed himself in the face. She quickly reached for a cloth, & without thinking was wiping his face for him. Josie stopped herself midway & then moved back nervously. Still holding the cloth she asked him, "A-Are you alright?"

She watched as he tried again, cautiously standing by with the cloth in case he sprayed himself in the face again, but this time he'd done it right & sprayed the bowl. Josie smiled as he successfully moved their dough from the first bowl into the second bowl & couldn't help but clap a little bit after he'd done it. Now it they were on to the last step of the progress which was to cover it. She bit her lip as she tried to think of what they could wrap their dough with, but she wasn't entirely too sure. Josie looked around the kitchen silently as she tried to think of it, until her eyes were set on plastic wrap. "P-Plastic..wrap, maybe?" Taking a moment to walk away from their workstation, she'd grabbed onto the plastic wrap & went back to Ethan & their dough. Then took another few moments (with a slight struggle) to cut off a piece of plastic wrap to cover their dough as directed. Looking over at Ethan she smiled a little bit saying, "Now..We have to w-wait for it to rise....in-," she looked at her notes quickly, "45 minutes.."

Now THAT was going to be a long wait.

Midway his stirring though, he felt his arm muscle get tired and all. “I’ll be fine.” He assured her with a grin. The sticky stuff was hard to mix and it would have been better if he used his hands. He didn’t of course because he was sharing the dough with someone else. Josette might get upset if he did, you know? He cares, so there’s that. The Slytherin however held his breath when she inched closer and looked at their creation.

ASJDF;DJFK;DFJ;DKFJDSF. “She’s so close!” Ethan had to bite his lips, tongue, and cheek to prevent himself from making a sound. No, he will not make that mistake. He did breathe out slowly when she backed away. WHEW. Merlin. Who knows what will happen if SHE made contact? “Eyes on the dough, Mordaunt! Merlin.” Ethan scolded himself and continued with his work. “Keep the conversation going and stop with being so awkward. MAN UP!” The Slytherin cleared his throat and grinned at his partner. “I guess you’re just like Simon over there. He’s a shy guy when I met him…but I’d like to think that he’s come out of his shell.” If it wasn’t for dragons and stuff, the boy might find Ethan overwhelming with his talking. “It’s great to have many friends you know.” Does she need help in that area? Because making contacts meant network…and networking is a good thing. Adult stuff if you ask him, but Mordred was consistent in drilling that thought in Ethan’s mind. His older cousin missed that opportunity and now regrets it. He didn’t want his younger cousin to have a tough time in the end.

“I went to Durmstrang for two years.” Surprise, surprise. “Not my kind of school, if you ask me. Though the place offered a year’s supply of snow which meant snowboarding for me.” Then he goes skateboarding in the summer when he’s with Mordred. Cool, yeah? “I’ve never read the history of this school…which is a shame…” he said as he stared at her parchment. Not looking at her. Good. “But when I donned the Sorting Hat…it did mention personalities.” Ethan made a face when he recalled his experience. “I still question its decision though. I mean…Slytherin? I am my cousin and father’s opposite. I’m sure of that.” So…he was probably better in Hufflepuff? “Mordred said the hat can never be wrong and stuff…which made me more confused. That’s why I left the ‘stereotyping’ thing behind, thus my question as to why Hogwarts need to sort its students.” He can be deep and confusing at the same time. “Sorry, I talk a lot.” And yes, he felt the need to apologize again.

After the spray incident though, Ethan, while Josette was clearing up his face held his breath again and felt his brain do a restart. Did she just?...She made contact, yeah? And the boy couldn’t believe his luck. He did make a fool of himself for being ignorant, all right? But look! The unexpected happened! The moment she removed the cloth from his face, the boy could swear he heard music somewhere. “She wiped my face, dear MERLIN. I can die now…” Ethan blinked and blinked at his partner for a few seconds, his heart hammering against his chest, recovering from his shock. “!!!!!! She did! She did! Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!” The Slytherin gave her a shy smile and scratched the back of his head. “I-I’ve never used anything like this before.” He said as he got the can of cooking spray and showed it to her. Merlin, is he blushing again? “But…uh…yeah, I’m fine thanks.” For wiping his face and making him REALLY happy. Ethan bowed at her when she clapped for him then placed his hands on his hips as he watched Josette get the plastic wrap thing and put it on the bowl’s lip securing their dough inside. “Breathe, Mordaunt. BREATHE FOR MERLIN’S SAKE.”

Aaand all steps for the dough are done! See? Teamwork’s good. And he’s even more delighted that he partnered up with the most beautiful girl he has ever seen in school—minus of course the bloopers that happened in between. And even though he carelessly embarrassed himself in front of her, it was all good. Her smiles make up for it, so in the end—he’s having a grand time. Come on, it’s pizza plus pretty Josette. What’s not to love, hmm?

And. 45 minutes. 45.

O_______O

Ethan grinned and sat across her as he started to wait for the next set of instructions. Maybe this is a good time to talk while waiting, yeah? Yeah. Based on what Josette told him, Ethan could tell that she’s not a pureblood. Maybe she’s half or even muggleborn if she’s into these things. “Fire is scary.” True. He can’t even imagine Mordred contain his own fear when he set the library on fire. Ethan would probably cry in one corner after, if it was him. “I can help you practice your cooking skills, if you want?” The Slytherin grinned and showed her his wand. “I can look out for you if ever a fire breaks out.” See? Not necessarily help with the cooking, but make sure that she’s safe and whatnot. Helping, okay? “…oh! And I can taste test your creations too, how about that?” Please say yes?

Please?

And...Hi Cutty!
