If he wasn’t so confused, he might have actually laughed at the expression and response from Bernadette but right now, all he could do was to point to the hot chocolate making station that he had helped set out earlier and head off towards the fire. His reply to Bernadette somewhat mumbled. ”Well…I don’t remember making it”

The warmth and heat of the burning wood was the thing that helped him now as he stood there, momentarily alone, a small ache in throbbing in his temple as he tried to remember what he’d been doing a moment before. Thankfully, a welcome distraction had just wandered over to the him in the form of Chloe McCarthy.

Shooting her a small smile, he replied ”Oh, not much. Just…about to break out the marshmallows actually” because that would make everyone have a better time, right? Walking over to the food and drinks station, only stopping on the way to grab a stick from the floor, the prefect grabbed a bag and tore it open in the corner letting some of the marshmallows fall out onto the table for the rest of the children to have.

”Help yourself guys”

Grabbing one for himself and Chloe, he headed over to stand next to her and gave her a small shoulder bump as a welcome. ”Marshmallow?”, the confused look on his face now forgotten as he held his palm out flat with a marshmallow on top.
