After Band, Lily ran uptown to buy baking supplies. Returning to the dorms, she dropped her school books off in her room and made her way down to the third floor kitchen. She had her grandmother's recipe book and all evening to bake, bake, bake.

[ooc: Open to anyone; she's here to teach Draco how to bake at some point - for the JA PW bake sale.
...and 'Baking with Draco' should totally be on the Food Network. I'm just sayin'.]

Draco stands in the doorway of the kitchen, his arms folded across his chest.

"Are you sure you're prepared to do this? There's a pretty good chance something will get caught on fire."

Lily walks over to kiss Draco hello.

"Not on my watch, dear. You'll need to wash your hands first," she said pointing to the sink.

Jonathan walks into the kitchen in hopes of maybe getting some more of the pie he made yesterday. Upon entering he sees Lily and Draco at the Oven.

Lily looks up and offers what she hopes is a friendly smile. "Jonathan - what brings you here?"

"Of course. Wouldn't want to disease the kiddies." he says. He goes over to the sink and washes his hands.

He holds his hands out for inspection.
"Did I do a good job?" he asks jokinly.

((I'll brb one of my friends is a wuss and needs me to go get him cold medicine. Men are such babies.))

Jonathan heads towards the fridge and roots around for a few moments, "pie," he says when he turns back around with a pieplate in hand.

((eee! class is starting must go, pick it up later?))

"Very good," she says rewarding him with another quick kiss.

"Now, is there anything specific you wanted to make? We can do all sorts of different cookies, brownies, pies... do you happen to know what anyone else is making? They won't need a million of the same thing." Lily starts flipping through the recipe book on the counter. She loves to bake and it's been a while since she's had the chance.

[no problem. and... LJ ate the previous comment.]

"Well, I know Mars is making snickerdoodles." he says "I don't know about you but I'm in the mood for something chocolate."

He smiled at Lily flipping through the cook book. "Aw, aren't you cute?"

"Chocolate? Good, then we'll start with brownies - they're my favorite anyway." She smiles up at him. "Of course I am, and don't you forget it," she says, feeling more confident than she has in a long while.

"Now. We'll need to preheat the oven - 350 degrees. You can just turn the knob - yes, that one in the middle, and the red light should go on." Lily starts lining up the other ingredients in the order she'll need to add them.

"Oh," she says, feeling awkward. "Um, that looks good."

Draco turns on the oven. He puts his hand on it and noticed it was cool still.

"Um...how is it supposed to get hot?" he asked.

"It will take several minutes for the electricity to heat the oven - that's why it has to be turned on well before you actually need it," she says, measuring dry ingredients and dumping them into a large mixing bowl. "Sugar, flour, cocoa - unsweetend, and a bit of salt. Here, take this spoon and mix these together, would you?"

"Oh, electricity, right." he says "Well, there you go, I'm glad you're here to help me otherwise I wouldn't even have the oven turned on."

Draco takes the spoon and begins to mix.

"Now this I can do well." he says smiling.

"Ah, then you're not completely hopeless," Lily says, taking out a stick of butter to grease the baking pan. "When you're done with that, you can get two eggs out of the refrigerator."

"I went to the cooking lab the other day and went a little nuts," he explains, "ended up making 3 pumpkin pies. What are you guys doing?"

Jonathan pulls a plate out of the cupboard and a knife and fork from the silverware drawer.

Draco finishes mixing and walks over to the fridge. He rifles through it for a bit and pulls out some eggs.
"Check it out. Haven't dropped anything yet."

((Alright, I'm going to be on my way home tonight which is like a three hour car ride so I won't be on until 10:30 and I've got this plotline with Angelus tonight. Slow play will be our friend.:) ))

"Lily's helping me make some food for the bake sale. And I needed a lot of help considering I don't even know how an oven works." Draco says as he mixes ingredients in a bowl.

"Why do you think I cleaned the room? You wouldn't know how to dust with a miniature army of Martha Stewart's at your beck and call," Jonathan teases, flicking a small piece of pie at him.

"Either of you want any?" he asks, indicating the pieplate and motioning towards the fridge.

Lily curiously watches the two boys interact. "Not right now. I do appreciate the offer, Jonathan. Who's Martha Stewart?"

Lily grins. "I told you it would be fun." She takes the eggs and expertly breaks them into the bowl. Adding the other ingredients, she says, "there, beat that all together until it's smooth," and hands him the bowl again. "Wait until you get to taste it - that's the best part. Handmade things just taste so much better than wandmade things."

Jonathan puts away the pie and sits back down to eat his ~~really huge~~ slice. ~~It's still no where near as big a piece as Draco would have eaten though.~~

"Martha Stewart, she's a woman, she has her own television show, she cooks, bakes, sews and just about everything. Aren't you, umm, you know," Jonathan wracks his brain for the word, "muggle-born! You're muggle-born right? Think Merry Poppins on steroids."

Veronica and Piper enter the kitchen carrying bags of groceries.

"Oh, I see we're not the only ones baking tonight," Veronica says with a laugh.

Piper nods at Veronica. "Is this all for the JA bake sale?"

Lily looks up from the oven and says, "Yes, for the bake sale. I'm Lily, by the way - I've seen you both around, but I don't think we've met."

Piper smiles at Lily. "Yeah, I've seen you around, too. Nice to finally meet you."
