"Hah, I heard about that, didn't believe them til I saw it on the noticeboard in our Common Room for myself." It was kinda hard to miss, compared to the other notices there. "Wish this had happened last time, though I am happy to have it over and done with. Got good grades and now I hope they cancel the finals for everyone else too." Whether as a reward for not going outside and getting themselves killed or....as a .....we're sorry you've all seen nothing but these walls since December please don't sue. Either would have worked for her. "You'll do great. You're smart, remember?" Sometimes Lex was kind enough to remind her friend. Yup.
Fun....right...Cassia said it looked fun. "It must be fun." Lex concluded, eyeing the cookies. "Otherwise you wouldn't have done them all like you just did. G'job Cass!" Lex said with a grin. It just went to show. If you stood by passively enough for long enough the work got done without you. Well then.
"I'll get them into the muffin tin then you can decorate. Sound good?" Even while she asked, Lex was already placing them. This would help them keep their shape? Well if you say so.
Funny when you haven't done something for a while and yet when you started doing it after that while you find your hands know exactly what to do and how to do it. She only had to look at her hands while she shaped the two first cookies but then her hands were acting alone and she did not have to look at all.
"
Yeah, never knew there was something that could cause a delay," Apparently there were and she was glad to have experienced it firsthand. "
You did very well, indeed," She nodded like a proud grandma. She had helped Lex study History in case no one knew. She helped a lot. The lioness was very welcome. Of course part of it was sort of payback since she helped Cassia when it was here having to take the exams. But she still would have helped. What are besties for ?
"
You know, that would be very nice. How could people just study when they're stressed and trapped," Though, those people were baking cookies now, but still! And she never got her hopes up for NEWTs to be cancelled. They were far more important and she knew that the ministry was involved to it would never happen. But she would be happy for the other years. Sort of. Might be a bit jealous.
Once she finished shaping she squinted at Lex, "
I'm such a great friend, no wonder people keep trying stealing me from you," That never happened. But she obviously thought a lot of herself. And just because she had nothing to do with her hands anymore she started moving the shaped cookies to the muffin tin with Alexa. And they were done!
"
Now it's decorating time!" A pretty cookie was a delicious cookie. Everyone knew that. She picked up the cookies and headed over to the decorating station. "
I say we have chocolate dipped ones, and one with sprinkles and ones with icing," Because she couldn't decide on only one obviously.
