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. Quote:

"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?" Quote:

"Don't worry about it, I'm a big boy, I can take care of myself", waving his hand as if flick the situation away, he smiled. This had the outline of a plan, and a good plan at that. With both plans sounding great, he turned towards them Emmalyn "That chocolate does sound pretty good! Although if the truffles make you breath fire, maybe we could make...Chilli truffles? Call them Hungarian Horntruffles or something".
Grinning now, amused at the little name he'd made for them, he started packing up some of his things again. "Maybe we should come back again another day?". Today had been a step in the right direction but that plans had changed now. They'd have to re-plan and comeback. Stronger than ever!
Okay. Emmalyn was taking his words, all of the, almost a bit too seriously when he had been meant to tease her more than anything. But...he was just going to keep quiet as she apologized to Ewan, who wasn't really bothered by the turn of events all that much anyway by the looks of things. Just, well, the Hufflepuff was particularly sensitive to choice. And everyone could thank Levi Kenning for that.
"Okay woah hold on WOAH!" Derf chirped, eyes wide with delight and already brushing off whatever teasing remarks the Ravenclaw had offered as an initial description to their chocolate business. "Hungarian Horntruffles? You mean like...a business that creates chocolate in the image of creatures? Cause...if so, I am in. SO in." And he was even offering his hands, both of them because one for each, to make it all official and shake on. "Just, you know, long as the shapes are as vividly depicted as chocolate frogs." He had a bit of a moral crisis about those. "Your dragon series of truffles could, you know, feature a spice from their country of origin. You know, little nods there. Maybe have the actual shape be that of a dragon scale. I could easily make a mold based on my sketches and stuff."
His own agenda somewhat forgotten, though not entirely because they were both more than welcome to help him if they wanted. It was for his own personal study and stuff, but everyone could benefit from a bit of practical application and experimentation.
Though Ewan was soon suggesting that they pack things up which made his brow furrow in that way that Chloe wasn't too keen on. "Oh, sure. Yeah. And, well, you know...if you guys want I don't mind bringing you into the prefect's bathroom for a brainstorming session of something." He never saw the point in there being exclusive privilege in this sense really. Not to mention it wasn't like other prefects were bringing people in there anyway.
