Soon enough she was beginning to speak to him as though they were business associates or something - he had sat in on some of his dad's meetings when he was younger, though it mostly had all gone over his head. Department head talks in Accidents and Catastrophes was beyond complicated. "No offense, Emmalyn but...I reckon you can't really speak for Ewan," he chuckled, offering the Ravenclaw a bit of an apologetic smile. Because, well, she was cutting a deal that included him without consulting him and stuff. "Though...not entirely sure why we need to have a deal anyway. Friendship isn't about give and take, yeah?"

Running a hand through his hair, the fifth year leaned back on his hands and observed the two of them for a bit. "But...if you both are keen to help me out, then sure. I'm gonna start with trying to get a standard muggle chess board, see if I can get it to behave like wizard's chess before I start on the big board. Though I'm gonna try to get knight piece to move first. No weapons with a horse, you know?" he explained with a chuckle.

Though the offer of being a taste tester, well, that made him anxious. He didn't NOT like chocolate...but there was a lot of anxiety surrounding magically enhanced food at this school and the long long history of it. "What are you guys aiming to do with the chocolate? Magical in what sense?"

You think it might be worth looking back through any books about the original board? Maybe it'll lead back to some spell to use on it now. " He wasn't exactly sure how he could help but putting forward a suggestion made him feel slightly better, even if it wasn't a great one.

Catching the apprehensive look on his face when chocolate tasting was mentioned, he grinned "Oh yeah, we're going to make chocolate that's been cursed to engorge your head; and others that'll swell your throat until all you can do is talk like a whistle...". With a mischievous smile, he started laughing. "Nah, in all seriousness, you sort of interrupted our first meeting. I mean, if you have any ideas, we're all ears. Although, I just wanted to make amazing tasting chocolate with a little wizard finesse to it". Shaking slightly with excitement now, he smiled at them both. All this talk of chocolate had put everything else out of his mind.

She instantly felt bad when Derf said she shouldn't speak for Ewan. She hadn't meant to do so. She was just trying to give the first year a way out if he wasn't interested in continuing. "Sorry, Ewan, I never meant to speak for you." Her face still looked sad as she spoke to Derf, "We are friends. I didn't mean to imply we weren't or that we needed some formal agreement." Her foot seemed to be spending a lot of time in her mouth. She shook her head. "Let's start again. I'd love to help you with your project and you are welcome to what we make. Well, my share at least." That sounded better.

"No weapons for a first try sounds like a grand plan." She giggled back, wondering what it would look like having a knight piece roaming around the board. She had only seen wizards chess once and that had been the previous year for only a few moments.

She listened while Ewan spoke of their first meeting and how they hadn't made any real plans yet. "He's right. We really don't know what we are doing, yet. I had been reading up a bit about magical ingredients that you can put in foods. I'd love to try out a truffle that makes you breath fire or some fudge that can make you float just a bit." Her eyes darted back and forth between Derf and Ewan, wondering if they both thought her crazy to even think of trying to do either of those treats. "What do you think, Ewan? Are you up for trying? Derf, would you taste test them if we made them?"
