SPOILER!!: Claudine <3

Heath was already so busy chopping vegetables that he nearly missed Claudine's words. He looked up, giving her a slight smile as confirmation that he was sure. So did he add everything to the pot at the same time or…? He struggled to recall how his grandmother did it. No, she cooked the veggies in butter first, then added the other stuff… he thought. Jumping jawas, this was harder than he thought! He should've gone to the library to check out a cookbook first! Were there any cookbooks here? He looked, but he didn't see any. Of course not… why would the house elves need cookbooks?

So that was a no to the warm beverage then? "No such luck," Heath said, laughing. "But my sister could probably do it… if magic still worked and there wasn't an Anti-Disapparition Jinx on the school." What an awkward conversation that would be! 'Hey, Ariel! Can you apparate to Espresso Patronum and buy my friend a…' What was that drink called? He'd already forgotten! "Okay, tell me if you should change your mind." But he doubted she would. Claudine didn't strike him as the mind changing type!

Heath was about to turn on the stove when Claudine asked that question. “WHAT?!” he blurted out before he could stop himself, gaping at her in shock. His mind raced. How in the galaxy was he supposed to answer that? For a moment, he thought to play it off as a force of habit, something he did without realizing it until she pointed it out, but he knew that wouldn't work. Claudine was too smart to fall for that, and he couldn't bring himself to lie to her.

His eyes darted nervously about the kitchen. He could trust Claudine and the house elves not to blab what they were about to hear, but someone else could barge in at any moment! "Okay, I'll tell you." He sighed, leaving the stove to stand near Claudine. This was not a conversation he wanted to have while shouting across the kitchen to each other!

"It's so people don't guess what I'm feeling," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "No matter how stoic I act, my eyes give me away - or so everyone's always told me. No one can use my emotions against me if they don't know what they are." His expression darkened, and there was a slight bitter edge to his voice as he said the last sentence. His thoughts turned to the many bullies from muggle school who had done exactly that, but he left that part out for now. Claudine already had a cold; she didn't need to deal with his past trauma on top of that!

Wait. Did this mean that she was important to him? Her own question confused her since the last thing she’d ever expected was to be important to anyone, with the exception of family members. Maybe she was just being silly and was being messed with by the cold. Yes, that must be it. The cold was meddling with her thoughts. “Okay, if you’re sure,’’ she replied, still a little puzzled and a lot guilty to have him doing this for her. Claudine tried to remind herself that Heats had volunteered for the task.* Claudine put her elbows on the table and tucked her hands under her chin so that she could acceptably sit up and watch the Ravenclaw do his work. “Hmm…” Did she want anything else? Her thoughts turned to Espresso Patronum’s caramelatte. Theirs were her favourite latte and she wished she could have a cup now. “Not unless you can Apparate to Espresso Patronum and get me a caramelatte.” Claudine smiled weakly. “I’ll wait until you’re finished to have anything.’’ Which reminded her of something, since they had the free time. “Why is it that most times your hair hides your eyes?” This was something the Snakette had been wondering for some period back but it always slipped her mind to ask.[/COLOR] Heath was already so busy chopping vegetables that he nearly missed Claudine's words.
