Ahh, well... combining the social and study time certainly did seem to make the most sense - which Evan find himself nodding too. A good portion of his friends outside of Jude were in the same year, perhaps he should have been utilizing study groups like he had in the past. And even for those he'd never been particularly close to... an hour here or there with his year mates before they were all scattered and probably not seeing each other again could be good. "That's a good plan. It just sounds exhausting too to study for so long, and then spend time with someone, and then there's not much time for just you to fit in before sleep and... doing it all over again." At least until weekends.
Ahh, that was a fair point. He turned after his small onion attack, giving a smile to the house elves bustling around in apology. "Yeah, you're probably right. But I still think you started it." He teased.
Picking up a fork, he stabbed at one of the potatoes as instructed - finding the utensil to cut in smoothly and not experience any resistance. He put down the fork, then moving the spuds into the indicated bowl and grabbing the potato masher tool. He started mashing, pushing up his sweater sleeves to do so, and tried to get the bowl looking at least half way clumped before throwing in some salt and pepper and mashing all over again. It took some time to get them the right consistency he wanted, but they were starting to look pretty good. "Do you add any milk to this?" He knew his Appa usually added some dairy to make the potatoes creamier when they were having mashed potatoes - but he was also planning to follow Jude's recipe to a T. “It would. And I know that’s not you but I’m just trying to let you know that we’d love you all the same no matter your grades.” Jude paused then offered an afterthought, his head tilted a bit as he usually did it. “Grades don’t define you. What matters is your heart, I suppose. How good you are to others.” He bobbed his head a bit, a grin slowly spreading across his face. “I think we need more hours in the day just for socialising. I mean, it’s a crime having to study this much. Imagine what it’ll be like when we have our careers. We might end up not seeing much of each other.” As it had over the summer when he had been talking with Kimmie, there was a panicked voice in his head when Jude thought of him and Evan drifting away. This time, the voice was slightly louder but he smothered it and shoved it in a box. That was something he wasn’t keen on dealing with right now.
That best friend of his was smart, even if Jude was the only likely source of abusing him with bits of food. “Pfffft! Show me your proof, Ev!’’ Ugh! He really adored that Ravenclaw! It was difficult not to be teasing him so often. At least Evan was a good sport with putting up with all of that.
While Evan continued working on the potatoes, Jude returned his attention to the cooking meat and vegetables. He added careful measurements of seasonings, Worcestershire sauce and beef broth then let it finish up simmering. “We don’t. There’s enough… uh… juices? from the meat and veggie mix so that the pie’s not dry.” The Hufflepuff dished a tiny amount of the mix out, gave a quick puff on it then popped it into his mouth. “Hey, Ev? Come here for a bit, please.” Using a fork, another small amount of the mix was speared out. “Any seasonings you want to add?” Jude knew that the Ravenclaw knew a thing or two about that. He held the fork up, leaving it to Evan to decide if he actually wanted to take the fork or simply eat right off it while it was held. |
