 For Ali/Claudine *takes place after DADA* Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll
Since their DADA lesson this morning, Heath knew he had to do something for Claudine. It had taken him most of the day to think of something he could do to cheer her up, but he finally got the idea to try to make her a caramellate. The dark-haired Ravenclaw felt a strange sense of deja vu as he walked into the kitchen. This reminded him a lot of last term when he made soup for her, except there were two key differences this time. This time he thought ahead and wrote the recipe down - he even found one for caramel sauce too, just in case the house elves didn’t have any on hand, and even if he hadn’t, he would be in a better position to recall it without the memory issues from last term.
His eyes momentarily flicked toward the door as he set to work gathering the necessary ingredients and turning on the stove He wasn’t sure if Claudine would meet him here or not, and part of him couldn’t blame her if she didn’t. A fresh pang of guilt gripped him at the memory of his failed attempt to protect her. The guilt soon gave way to anger, but more than anything else, he felt betrayed… and like his namesake, this Heathcliff did not handle betrayal well!
He distracted himself with the mixture of caramel, milk, sugar, and coffee in the saucepan in front of him, watching it swirl around like the storm of his emotions as he stirred.
