And alone. Right. Okay no totally got this under control. Yeah totally brave Gryffindor over here nothing to see move along people... Right okay back to the butter. "Okay.. One cup of brown sugar. Got it." He waited for Mackenzie to finish her demonstration, before reaching out for the measuring cup himself. With only the utmost caution he poured around what looked like a cup. Okay. So far, so good. Nothing was on fire yet, that was comforting.
He then brought his own bowl closer to himself and poured it in. PHEW that was great! Pft this baking stuff wasn't all that bad. HA! Totally under control. Now uh, butter? He threw away the wrapper, and took hers with him as he did. Then he walked back to the pan and threw in his block of butter. "So far so good?" You know... Just checking. In case. He looked up at her once again as she explained the oven bit. Cold ovens don't work well, hehe he couldn't help but let out a chuckle at this. Maybe it wasn't even that funny, just the tone she used to lighten up this most stressful situation. It was relieving. "Ha yeah I bet!" Okay so oven preheated? Check. Butter put in pan? Check. Brown sugar in bowl? Also check. "So what next, chef?"
Closing her eyes as she took another deep breath she ran through the instructions that any other time she wouldn't even be second guessing. Mackenzie could feel the color returning to her cheeks as he took her trash with him when he threw his away.
"Focus Jones" She had played quidditch with Alice why was she nervous about this?! Merlin!! Seriously, She didn't understand where this was coming from, sure he was cute but she barely knew the boy.. she scolded herself.
"you don't even know each other and please there are way pretty girls here than you Mackenzie.. no need to be nervous you're just teaching him to bake brownies. " "Okay, next we have to melt the butter so we need to actually use the stove" Carefully she turned on her burner to high so that the butter would melt faster.
"And once its almost fully melted pour in the sugar so that it melts in with the butter" The Gryffindor grabbed her bowl of brown sugar and took it close to her by the stove. She watched as he followed suit and then smiled
"Once that's done we need to put it in the refrigerator so that it can cool" She hoped she wasn't moving to fast..
"You'll stop me if we are going to fast for you to really get it yeah?" Mack arched an eyebrow at the other Gryffindor because she didn't want to confuse him.
