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.

”I miss being part of the team and I miss seeing you at practices too. I just couldn’t handle that on top of everything else and academics have to come before sports, with way too many things it just got to the point where I thought I was either going to end up going mad or failing half my classes. We can always practice together out on the quidditch pitch when you’re free, if you want to.” Wow, she hadn’t really admitted that before, about exactly how overwhelmed she got last year. Looking back on everything, she was probably insane to have been doing all the extracurricular activities that she had been doing in her OWLs year. Well, she was still doing most of those things this year, but quidditch was a particularly time consuming activity and being captain had come with even more commitment and responsibility.

Isa grinned at Emmalyn. ”First time for everything. Honestly, I haven’t really done much baking with charms before either.” There were many recipes posted in here that Isa hadn’t tried making before. Usually she just baked cookies downstairs in the kitchens and she didn’t usually use charms for that most of the time. ”Baking it is then!” Ooh, yum! ”Those sound great! What’s in kouign-amann?” Isa headed over to the sink and washed her hands. As her mum always used to remind her when she was little, you always had to start working with food with clean hands. Couldn’t have dirty hands poking around in something that people were going to eat, that would be unsanitary. Then she looked to the list of charms for an idea of how to get started with the baking. ”Shall we start by summoning the ingredients and equipment we need?” They could always gather everything by hand, but that wasn’t the point of charms practice.
