Daisy shook her head when Professor Marchand asked if she needed any help cleaning up. "No thank you. I seem to be quite skilled at the domestic charms."

Soon, the thirty-five minutes baking time was up so Daisy turned off the oven, opened the oven door and removed the Tarte Tatin from the oven and placed it on the counter. Daisy closed the oven door and she decided to use a Cooling Charm to cool the dish in the pan. She moved her wand in an "M" shape over the Tarte Tatin as she said, "Frigidus!"

Once the dish was cooled down enough, Daisy grabbed some thickened cream and whipped it using magic. She put the cream to one side as she got a large plate. She placed the plate over the Tarte Tatin pan and turned the lot upside down.

Daisy aimed her wand and said, "Accio plate. Accio fork," so that Professor Marchand could have a slice. Daisy pointed at the Tarte Tatin with the wand, saying, "Diffindo," so that a large piece could be cut. She then placed it on the plate and poured some cream over the top of the slice via, "Locomotor cream."

Daisy then passed the plate to Professor Marchand. "Here you are, sir. I hope you like it."

Daisy's kind words caught Gaston a tad by surprise... not a surprise that she'd say something like that, of course. He knew Daisy was a kind person. It was just unexpected because he didn't feel he'd done anything to deserve such praise. After all, it was his job to do everything he could to help his students! He blinked, too touched to speak; he managed a smile in reply before having to take a sip of coffee to help him swallow the lump rising in his throat.

He sat quietly for a few moments to gather his composure until Daisy's voice jerked him out of his thoughts. He smiled; he hadn't expected her to need help, but it would be rude not to at least offer. "That's certainly true!" he agreed. If anything, "quite skilled" was a bit of an understatement! "I'm impressed with your skills! When I was your age, I could hardly heat a dish without setting something on fire!" He laughed self-deprecatingly. That might be a bit of an exaggeration, but his fear of fire made cooking, with or without magic, hard for him.

Soon, the Tarte Tatin was ready, and Gaston beamed as Daisy handed him a plate. "If this tastes even half as good as it looks and smells, I'm in for a treat!" he exclaimed, taking in the delicious aroma. He took a small bite, and his smile grew. He knew it would be good, but this was even better than he expected. "This is the best Tarte Tatin I've had in years!" Certainly the best he'd had since his grandmother passed. "Would you mind sharing your recipe? I'd like to add it to the menu here in the bistro."
