Sometimes Isa missed quidditch, but there couldn’t have been a better choice than Bel to captain the team this year and it was just so much less stressful not needing to worry about fitting quidditch in on top of classes, homework, caring for her pets, tending to her plants, participating in choir and orchestra, and all the other craziness in her schedule. Really, Isa didn’t know how she had managed last year with quidditch and OWLs on top of all of that.
Oh good, Isa had hoped this would remind Emmalyn of home and baking that she was familiar with. ”I know you like baking, so I was thinking we could bake something today using charms. Your choice of what we should make.” Isa gestured to the list of charms posted on the wall. They could bake something from the menu, or even anything else Emmalyn wanted to bake that could be made with the available ingredients. ”So, would you care to sit down for tea first, or shall we get baking and enjoy tea with our food later?” The tea had not been made yet, so it really made no difference to Isa.
"Thanks! It was a tough game and the Gryffindor team really made us earn the win." It had been a nail biter and she wasn't sure they would pull off the win, but they did.
"I miss having you as captain and seeing you at practice and such." That was one of the things she liked most about being on the team, seeing her teammates so much for practice, and the added distraction from studying was a big plus.
"Oh, baking with charms sounds lovely. I've never done it before." Growing up in a muggle household, she'd never seen magically made food and was beyond excited to try it out.
"I think I'd like to get started on some treats before tea." She glanced over the menu and spotted several items that looked fantastic. Choosing was going to be hard. One of her favorites was on the menu, eclairs. The steam puffed pastry filled with the delicate cream filling and covered in rich chocolate. Her mouth watered thinking of them and they paired perfectly with tea.
"Hmm, I think eclairs would be wonderful." She looked at the menu once again.
"I would also like to try to make kouign-amann. Those were one my father's specialty pastries." She smiled remembering the line of customers around the shop, just waiting for the next batch of kouign-amann to come out of the oven.
"Do those sound okay to you?" There wasn't a recipe for the kouign-amann, but she was fairly certain she could remember most of what to do.
