Time for the next question! "Question two! What veggie is the main ingredient in stovies?" They had been on the menu just last night for the Feast, so hopefully that would help trigger some memories.
Austin's face flushed as she sniffed the strawberries. He too loved the smell. It always smelt fresh and inviting. Once the berries were mashed, and had a slight jam consistancy, grabbed the cinnamon and sugar. In a smaller bowl, he put half of the cinnamon and half of the sugar in it, mixing it with a spoon.
The blue eyed boy was fine with not having a partner, although he was kind of sad no one confronted him. But the only one to blame was him, and he knew that. He hadn't made very many close friends over his past few years, and he usually kept to himself. Maybe this would be the year to change that. Although, if today was any indication, that plan may not go so well.
Once the cinnamon and sugar was mixed well, he added a small amount into the strawberries, and began stirring. Every so often he would add another amount of the cinnamon and sugar into his strawberries. Putting too much in at once could over power some of the berries, while the others were plain. Mixing in small amounts allowed every inch to be covered.
As he did this, he thought about the question? What was a Stovie? The name sounded familiar, but he couldn't quite put his tongue on it. It wasn't anything his family ate on the usual, so maybe he had eaten it here at Hogwarts? Last night they had the usual amount of food. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Maybe it was the strange dish he had dared himself to try? He had never thought to try it in previous years, mainly because it looked rather un-appetizing. But he held his breath and tried it anyways. It wasn't exactly bad, but it did consist of a lot of potatoes.
"Are potatoes the vegetable?" After getting the previous question right, he felt more confident that he wouldn't embarrass himself with this next one.
