books and cleverness | i like you a latte Camilo was curious if they could cook because, well, he couldn't. Being in this school kitchen made him think that it would have been nice if he made some easy meals for his friends and himself while he was a student at Castelobruxo. He nodded when the girls both said that they knew how to cook. Good for them!
He finished his banana as Ashley explained the events of the previous term. Oh, he was aware of the ghost possession and subsequent burning of the forbidden forest, but had not heard that there was rotten food involved and that Ravenclaw lost 200 points. The latter was what he was really surprised about, because that was a LOT of points to take away. Only made sense if it was done by the leader of a cult pretending to be headmaster. So Camilo's expression was not shocked like Dahlia's, but rather neutral as he pieced the story together. "I agree with Miss Donovan, and I'd also like to say to both of you that you could ... look forward to life improving. Perhaps not dramatically, but little by little. Y'know, like learning some cool flying tricks, having blueberry muffins or strawberry ice cream for dessert, making new friends. If you focus on creating small good things for yourself everyday, one day you'll look back and say - my life at Hogwarts was crazy, but I made the most out of it."
... and now he was officially the new teacher who makes awkward sappy speeches in the kitchen. "I'd better get going now that I've had my mid-afternoon snack. It was nice talking to you, ladies." With a smile, he stole took an extra bowl of fruits and left the kitchen.
