"Thank you Healer Ashford." She said sweetly. "Master Saitoh, I hope the nurse has helped you to your liking. If you need any more help, please feel free to see her, or myself... Now, please be dear, and escort Captain Starstalker back to the common room? We shouldn't let the ladies of this school walk alone... don't you agree? Here are two coupons for Madame Puddifoot's..." she said handing the coupons to the two kids:

The answer the Healer had given sounded logical and Lavi could only nod at it. Well what else could he do? He could hardly refuse a offer that would help him! Thinking he had to drink the first Phial of potion now, Lavi grabbed the phial with shaking hands and uncorked it. The smell wasn't that bad, atleast loads better than that Diagon Alley shop..seriously how could a nice woman like her be owning a shop like that?..Anyways, Lavi swinged the phial backwards and drank the potion. Upon swallowing it, he blinked a couple of times before making a odd face showing that the potion didn't taste as good as it had smelled.

He stared in front of him for some second but nothing seemed to happen. He hadn't felt a strange session, had not seen any miraclelous light or something..it was just, well the same. Perhaps he needed a book to test it first. But then again, the Healer had said it was a work in progress, it would be a miracle if he has cured right away. Lavi looked up as his Head of House had started to speak that they had to wrap up. Perhaps she needed to schedule her lesson? Lavi didn't bother to ask and looked at the Healer. "T-thank you very much for..well for wanting to help me," he said earnestly with a bow with his head. "i'll report back in a month" hehe that sounded like a army!. Lavi sat upright again with a small grin on his face and looked at Kiri who was still in the room too. He smiled at her and with the Professor's suggestion he stood up and held his hand out. "Ladies first" he chuckled and was about to help her up when the Professor shoved something in their hands. What was it?

Dumbfounded , Lavi looked at the coupon for Madam Puddifoot....waaaiiit wasn't that like a date bar or something?! Was he suppose to go with this girl? On Lavi's cheeks formed a small blush. Even the idea was absurd, he didn't even know her!...well he knows her name , Kiri Bright..eh Starstalker hmm does she likes stars? because her name is Star-stalker..maybe she's good in Astronomy! That's a cool class even though Lavi didn't understand most of it...oookay, trailing off. Lavi focus. "Eeeh, thank you, Professor" he said a little stupidly before turning around and escourted Kiri out of the room towards the Common Room.

Kiri waved goodbye to the Healer absent-mindedly. She was looking at the coupons in Professor Lupa's hand. What was the deal with those? She'd seen a few of them lying around. Still, the cakes at Madame Puddifoot's were delicious (if a little on the sweet side), and the coupon talked of tea, not espresso - another plus where Kiri was concerned. She drained her cup quickly, stuffed another apple slice into her mouth, then took the proffered coupon. "Thank you, Professor," she said politely. With a smile, she tucked the little square of parchment away in her robe.

"For the espresso and the apples as well," she added, putting the cup down on the desk. "They're very tasty." She eyed the hand Lavi was offering her a little derisively - Kiri Starstalker did not need help getting up out of a chair! She got to her feet smoothly.

That's when it hit her... Did Professor Lupa expect Kiri and Lavi to use those coupons together?!
He seemed like a nice boy, sure, but Kiri barely knew him. She'd just met him. Even though Kiri knew it was unlikely that Lavi hadn't been standing in front of the office door at the same time as Kiri completely on accident, there was a sneaking suspicion in her mind that Professor Lupa had directed this whole meeting with the coupons for Madame Puddifoot's in mind.

Well, she would deal with that later. Their first Hogsmeade weekend was still a little while off, so Kiri had some time to maybe get to know Lavi better. And if she didn't have anything else planned when the weekend came 'round...
"Bye, Professor Lupa," she called out over her shoulder and followed Lavi out of the office.

Gabriella nodded in reply to Less' show of appreciation. "You're quite welcome. I was glad to help, of course," she remarked. It was around that time when she noticed the Slytherin boy uncork the potion and tilt the phial. She watched like a hawk as he consumed the potion she'd brought along. "Not so bad, hmm? Just remember, it's not an instant cure. Spend the next month letting the potion sit in, then next month we'll work on conquering your fears."

She grew quiet while the coupons were being passed around. Gabriella had received a batch of the coupons herself, and of course she'd been passing them out at every opportunity. There was simply no way she could use all of them herself. "Have a nice day," she added, speaking us as the two students left. As she stood, she turned to Less with a little smile. "It was good seeing you, Less."

Evelyn was definitely not going to walk all the way up to the fifth floor, so she decided to try out Professor Lupa's closest office from the kitchens. And that was the one here...Aw, please let the Professor be here. She really didn't want to walk up all those stairs.

Seeing the door open though, she wasn't sure either to knock? Or to just walk in. "Destiny?" she asked, looking behind her to see if her friend was there, and to see if she ate anymore of the Professor's cupcakes. Evelyn did walk rather quickly as usual. "Do we knock?"

Okay, so Destiny might have eaten another cupcake. It wasn't here fault though. Evelyn was walking ahead of her and the cupcakes were just too good to pass down. There was still eight left, plus the ones Evelyn had baked. That should be plenty for the Professor. 'I think we should knock,' she said wiping off all the evidence that she had eaten another cupcake, 'she would probably get angry if we just walk in.' And then they would have to bake something bigger to make Lupa happy.

"That's if she's even here." she mumbled to herself, moving over to the door and knocking a few times.

*knock knock knock*

Leaning against the wall, she looked back over to Destiny, completely missing that the girl wiped away any crumbs and su- She was missing another cupcake! Yes, Evelyn had counted how many were left, and now one was missing. Chuckling though, not really caring anymore since there were still plenty for Lupa, Evelyn placed her head on the wall, and turned towards the half open door. The professor, really better be here, or fifth floor here they came!

"You are both welcome, and have a nice day!" She said smiling.

"Great seeing you too..." She said, "you are a wonderful nurse."

Alessia heard the knocking and opened the door for the next student and saw three outside. She looked at the boy and said "You were first..."

"Hello ladies, if you would just give us a moment, I'll be with you as soon as I'm done," She pointed to a bowl on the table by the door. "Feel free to have some apple slices while you wait." She told them.

Oh, how could Destiny miss the boy waiting to see the professor too?

Maybe because she was too busy stuffing her face with cupcakes.

'Sure Professor, we'll wait.' Ehh, she really didn't think she could possibly eat anymore..but the apple slices did look good. Destiny would just eat one..or two..or five.

Either the Professor was really quiet when walking, or Evelyn had been zoning out, because the next thing she know, Lupa was standing right there.

Apple slices? Really?...Apple...slices...were they green apple slices?! Because green apples were the best! Aw, nope. Only red ones. Hmmm. "Alright, Professor." she mumbled, watching Destiny eye the apple slices. At least it wasn't the cupcakes this time...hehe.

"Well?" she snickered, placing the plate of cupcakes on the clean floor and sitting down next to them, gesturing to the apple slices. "Are you going to have one?"

Wait. Apple slices. That was a healthy food. Did the Professor not like sweets? What if she didn't like cupcakes?! Or...pink. Well the pink part, she couldn't change. But still...maybe they should've asked before baking these...

Tobias slipped into the office, taking a quick look around and taking in the surroundings. The parlor stove was a particular eye catcher. And that funny looking cabinet in the corner...had he seen that somewhere else?

"I just though I'd introduce myself, since you're my Head of House," Tobias began, extending a hand, "Tobias Rivers, second year." Being on friendly terms with the Head of House might be extremely beneficial in the future.

"Master Rivers," She said taking his hand and shaking it. "It's nice meeting another Slytherin student. I look forward to watching you grow into an ambitious Wizard. Tell me sir, what may I do for you? Or was introduction the only think you are here for?"

She laughed and then smiled at the boy. "Runes aren't for everyone, but I hope you will try taking my class... you never know... It is indeed a pleasure Master Rivers. I hope to see you again soon." She said opening her door for him. "Ladies?" She said looking at the two girls in her hallway. "Thank you for being patient, please come in."

Of course she was going to take a handful few apple slices. She nodded at Evelyn and glanced into the bowl to find the perfect slice. And she found one! Picking it out, Destiny was going to slowly put it in her mouth and eat it, but as the door opened she shoved it in.

How was Destiny supposed to hide this tray of cupcakes? They were a surprise right? But Professor Lupa had probably already seen them, and now the surprise was ruined. She should have covered the tray, so the Professor couldn't see them. Trying to hide the tray behind her back, Destiny followed into the office.

'Hi.' Was she just supposed to just give them to her?

Tobias was flattered. No one had ever called him "Master Rivers" before. He hid a grin with a struggle and continued, "Just introductions, really." Suddenly he worried that Professor Lupa would think that a waste of time, and he explained some of his reasonings: "I just...I felt it could be beneficial to know my Head of House, if I ever needed help with something, and I won't be meeting you in your class because I am terrrrrible at Runes."

Smiling up at the professor when she came out again, inviting them inside, she looked towards Destiny for a moment before standing up. Wait..."Did you just stick that whole thing in your mouth?" she whispered, frowning at her friend before shaking her head and picked up the cupcakes. Too PINK! Why did her color changing spell have to be poisonous on food!? She could have totally turned them green then. So much better than...pink...bleh!

Aw well, they better have turned out good. It was her first time baking, so she was proud of how they looked at the moment. Walking in after Destiny, she stood awkwardly close to the door, not really sure where to really go. At least Lupa's office was better than Bunz's office...

Hearing Destiny greet the professor broke her out of thought and quickly reply as well. "Oh, yes, hello Professor." she said, smiling nervously. Being in runes class was one thing, but being in the Professor's office, it had a totally different atmosphere. "I...we...ummm...How are you?" Yea, great way to start off!

"Please, sit." She said and offered some apple slices to them. "Some Healthy Apples?"

"Healthy...apples." she repeated, looking at the little slices. Healthy. So that either meant Lupa totally wasn't into all the sweets and stuff or...something else she couldn't think of at the moment. But still. Healthy stuff.

"No, not for me. I'm kinda sick of food at the moment. Thank you, though." Which was true. She could still smell the cupcake scent of the kitchen as if that whole room was following her, and it was making her slightly nauseous. Never again will she bake. Glancing at Destiny though, she had no clue how to present this 'gift' for the professor. Maybe she knew something or...something.

Destiny shook her head as she sat down. 'No thanks.' Why did she have to eat soo many cupcakes? She wouldn't be able to eat for like a whole day!

Why was Evelyn looking at her like that? Destiny had no idea how to give these to her. By the time she would figure out something, they would go bad and they would have to make more. Placing the tray on the professors desk, Destiny decided to just give them to her. What was she going to do, throw them at her? 'Well, since you were angry when you came into the common room, we decided to make you cupcakes. To make you happy again!' Because cupcakes made everyone happy.

Please let these cupcakes make the professor happy again. Because if she had to bake again, it would not be pretty. Placing the little plate she carried on the table, containing three PINK cupcakes, Evelyn cringed at the sight. Why did they have to turn out that color...just, really...Why couldn't strawberry be green or something.

"Sorry that they are so..." she began, trying her hardest not to choke over the word that reminded her of Bunz and other horrible and random memories. "...pink." There! Finally got it out.

Cupcakes? She... was trying to watch her weight... but... that would be rude to turn away the... deliciously... yummy looking cupcakes. She tossed the apple slices behind her back and took a cupcake biting into it. "Mmmm Sawmbammy! Mmmm..." She swallowed. She hadn't had sugar in a week! "It's fine, Pink is fine. It's close to lilac and that's my favorite colour. Thank you ladies," she said trying not to take another savage bite.

Evelyn watched the Professor take a bit of the cupcake. Well, apparently it was good...but she still waited. For any sign that the professor maybe poisoned, choking, having a heart attack or dying from the food...

Lilac? 'I guess pink is close to lilac.' she thought, staring down at the insanely pink cupcakes. Wait. How long has it been? And Lupa isn't dead?! She baked the cupcakes properly then! She actually baked something! Evelyn Flores...did something right the muggle way!!

"You, are totally welcome." she smiled brightly, glancing happily over to Destiny. The Professor is still alive!

Destiny smiled as Professor Lupa started eating one of Evelyn's cupcakes. And then she realized she hadn't even had a chance to taste them! Next time, if there was a next time, Destiny would get to taste on of hers.

Lupa looked okay, so the cupcakes were good! Yes! Evelyn was one step away to becoming an exceptional cupcake maker. Maybe not one step, but she was getting close. 'You're welcome!' Annnd Lupa was happy again!

Wooot!

She wanted another bite out of the cupcake... They were sooo yummy. "How rude of me... please... have one." She told them as she dove into another bite.

Well, the smell of the cupcake scented kitchen finally disappeared from her nose, but she still didn't feel like having any. Though, would that be rude for not taking the professor's offer? She said no to the apple slices, and these cupcakes were for Lupa anyway. But she did offer..."No, thank you Professor. Cooking them was enough for me. I feel like I have already eaten a million of them." she laughed quietly, finally taking a seat next to Destiny. Though that was on it's way to becoming literally true for her friend...*snicker*
