Watching Toddles for a moment she laughed as the flour went up again. “Oh toddles, could you please make sure to bring out some oat flour. I had asked about that earlier for some of our students.” She glanced towards Penelope, but there could be others she couldn’t be too sure. Now that that was taken care of it was time to get on with the student answers.

She watched the Slytherin open his notes, props to him for remembering you could always look back. There was no reason not to use resources right in front of you. Especially when it came to Divinations. “Excellent Simon, the birth chart and houses are very important to know about yourself and your personality. It can help find out about others as well.” This was making the Professor very happy, not that she wasn’t always very happy.

She had snapped for everyone’s answers, because they were all so wonderful. “I’m sooooo glad you have the best memories.” She headed around the room as she spoke so that everyone could hear her in their kitchen classroom. “Our last lesson was on Astrology. We looked at our birth charts and found out what are Moon and Sun houses were. Once finding them, we got to find out more about ourselves. Then we looked at compatible signs for our fun Valentine’s Day celebration. We will be using the Zodiac signs again, so please don’t forget them. There are twelve and they are based off certain days in a month. So if you were born on December 2 you would be considered a Sagitaruis, October 10 like me you would be a Libra.” She flicked her wand and the Zodiac poster from the classroom settled itself nicely on a cabinet for all to see.

“Now before we get fully started on our fun activity for today and why I called you into the kitchen and asked the house elves to join us. I would like you to tell me everything you know about this. " Holding up a fortune cookie the five foot blonde moved her wand and a container of cookies set up on the counter for all to see.

Excellent Simon? AND he got snaps?

The boy was over the moon. Well not literally, you know, cause impossible but figuratively, you know? Or is it possible...? Anyway. *AHEM.* MAN! His day was getting better already. He beamed and listened to some of the other answers that his fellow classmates had offered and then returned his attention to Professor Morgan once more. Alright, they would be using the zodiac calendar from now on. Ooh, he ought to memorize it more. He was a Gemini. Yes.

Then Professor Morgan held up a fortune cookie and the boy got several flashback memories of the time that his sister forced him to watch the old film called Freaky Friday with her. The most distinct moment was when the mother and daughter both took a fortune cookie and broke it at the same time and we're transported to each other's bodies. However, that was obviously a work of fiction; therefore, it couldn't be true- though chorts were believed to be a work of fiction as well and apparently they existed. If they were going to be eating fortune cookies then he was going to be sure NOT to crack it at the same time as everyone else. Uhuh.

The boy was distracted again by a new thought. Where they going to be making fortune cookies? Could his day get any better? At home, the boy would spend hours in the kitchen, trying new recipes that he had read (secretly) in his mother's cookbooks. Simon loved being there. It was just so much fun to cook. Simon had to reign himself back into line and refocus himself onto Professor Morgan's question. He tried to think but was distracted by some girl (Zahra)'s comment. My chocolate leaves? That was utterly ridiculous but insanely funny at the same time. He even had to swallow a chuckle which ended up with the boy coughing under his arm.

Right. Question.

Think culinary thoughts, Simon.

Fact first. Then opinion. "The inventor of the fortune cookie is a topic that is heavily debated in the culinary world," he began. That's what he learned from his Uncle who was a chef in Melbourne. He continued. "It has a slither of paper inside with some wise words about your 'future' on it." Though they weren't always true. It was more fun to make fun of them. But he wasn't going to say that allowed.
