She gave a little eye roll while their backs were turned. Obviously they hadn't noticed that she was in here yet. Then Lanie said something about strawberries, and Cadence gave her an extremely skeptical look. Strawberries? Was Lanie sick? Ahhh... there was the magic word. Cadence looked around again, and decided it would be more fun to do this on their own. "Strawberries and chocolate... I can do that!"
She walked over to the refrigerator and pulled out a carton of strawberries. "Chocolate... chocolate... I need fondu chocolate... aha! Found it!" she said and she took out both white and milk chocolate. Then she found a saucepan, started a burner with her wand, and began heating up the chocolate. After a few minutes, the chocolate was sufficiently warm and gooey and delicious she carried it over to the island and sat it down on the table with the strawberries.
Cadence pointed her wand at a strawberry, said, Wingardium Leviosa!" and levitated the strawberry over to the chocolate and dipped it in. "Here's to you! The best chaser in the school!"
Melanie actually rolled her eyes.
"I could tooooootally win. I could." she responded. Melanie Lockhart was a competitive person...and you'd better bet she wouldn't be beat twice. It just couldn't be allowed.
"Sometime at the end of the term." Melanie added, with a nod. Not now... she'd build up her strength...
Teehee. With chocolate. Melanie watched her make the chocolate using an ACTUAL pan with a hint of facination in her eyes.... Melanie recalled telling Treyen over break she wanted to learn to bake, and she still did. Now probably wasn't the time though.
Now was the time to fill her tummy with Cadence's melted chocolate paired with some yummy strawberries. She popped one into her mouth with two fingers, giving her friend two thumbs up (one of which covered with milk chocolate.).
"YHUM. Daht's...dah-dat." GULP. "That's good!" Melanie complimented, grinning cheerfully.
"Thanks."
Melanie shook her head at Cadence's next comment. Wrooooooong.
"Not true." she imputed, patiently and truthfully.
"I'll agree to a toast though...To...To..."
...
"To Hufflepuff... and good heath." Good heath had to be included, right? People always added that at the end of toasts on movies... Melanie would know, she watched her fair share of movies. She raised her strawberry, bumping it against Cadence's the way people usually knocked their glasses together, and took a substantial bite from it.
Deeeeeeelish.
