"I'll stay for now, I would visit at some other time." He smiled and took a drink as well. "mm." Then actually left to the bathroom.

Magnus nodded. "Nothing wrong with that. I liked watching tennis but I can't play it at all and don't find it fun."

He blushed. "Well..." he said, "thank you. That means a lot."

"Fun ta say too," Magnus said with a snicker.

"That sounds like a good break," Paddy replied, "mine hasn't been quite so interesting, I spent quite a bit of time helping my Uncle with his potion making. Until I managed to make my potion explode, which covered his room with sticky goo, then I was told I should just help clean up instead."

Magnus nearly choked on his sandwich, because he was laughing so hard. "Got ya out of it though eh?"

"I wish I could say I meant to do that, but it was kind of unexpected," she replied, laughing at Magnus' reaction, "Uncle said I need more lessons in potions, but I think he just needs to label his potion supplies more clearly."

The boy kept laughing hardily. "Well if 'e didn't clearly label bat spleen and slug slime, it could explain the explosion. Still, you could say you did a bang up job."

"Most of the labels are quite old and worn off. Apparently that's something I can help him to do in the next break, assuming he'll let me back in the potions room again" Paddy groaned at the joke, although she realised she'd missed Magnus' word puns - her Uncle never seemed to bother much with jokes like that.

He gave a mischievous smirk. "Well 'ow bad do you want back in? cos you know, you could always accidentally do more damage." Paddy's laugh encouraged him to make another joke. "Got an explosive personality you do."

Paddy thought for a couple of moments before replying, "if he'll teach me something useful, I'm willing to help him out. But if he's just going to expect me to know instinctively what potion ingredients are in each jar without clear labels, then I think I'd rather spend my time practising my flying skills."

"could nip over to the apothecary and just replace his badly labeled things and be done with it," Magnus said. "Charge it to 'is account."

"Now that's a thought," she replied, "I know he has an account there as he usually gets his stuff delivered by owl to save him the hassle of heading too far from home. Maybe I could add in a joke snake-in-a-jar or something that'll trick him when he goes to open something...."

Magnus laughed. "Yes you 'ave to do that, the snake in the jar would be hilarious. See, it'd work out perfectly."

"I might need a hand to pick the best prank snake though," she added, "I've not got quite the experience at pranks as some of us here."

[img align=left]https://sapi.subeta.net/shared/226132.png[/img]Harper sat listening for a while, enjoying not having to talk for a little while. She nodded in acknowledgement at when she arrived. Feeling it was probably past time to bring out the specialty drinks. She stood from the table.

"I'll be right back, guys. Save my seat!"

Harper hurried into the kitchen and spoke with the chef, who pointed her over to a tray of drinks that were ready to go. She thanked the chef and started to lift the tray, then instantly regretted it. She wished they were allowed to use magic outside school. The chef sensed her frustration and winked at her, flicking her wand to send the tray floating out to the group of tables. She hurried out to follow it.

"Drinks are up, everyone! We have a passion fruit fizz put together specially for , but there are plenty to go around. There's also a grapefruit pineapple mixture that has a splash of guava as well, a mango papaya drink, virgin pina coladas and also a virgin pina colada that has some banana!" She scrunched up her face, wondering if she missed anything. "Oh! And this one," she pointed to the pink drink, "is a dragon fruit smoothie with a little lemon and mint!"

(Decided to event everyone instead of trying to ping everyone - hopefully it went through!)

Merlin returned from the bathroom and heard there was a dragon fruit smoothie so he thought, that had to be the best drink and snatched it. "This is a drink for a dragon."

[img align=right]https://sapi.subeta.net/shared/229921.png[/img] Millie waited for the rush to thin out before she went up to get one of the new drinks. She went up and got a glass of the mango papaya drink and a small plate with some more potato salad. She had thought about getting something sweet but thought different after being in the bakery all morning

She sat back down and tried the drink. "the mango papaya drink is lovely" she said aloud, hoping someone heard her

Merlin sits in the table with Millie. "I'm sure all the drinks are good, would love to try them all but would need a day or two for that, so for now I tried this one, it's good! I love the taste the lemon gives it, I love lemon but I really got it because of dragon fruit." He laughs lightly.

"There's so much food. I don't think I'll be able to try it all. I thought about getting a cupcake but decided against it since I was around baked goods all morning. Maybe later.

"I love mangos. My cousins, who live across the pond, sent me some mango candy when they went on holiday to Hawaii."

"I have no problem sampling everything meat less since my appetite is grand, but I don't think I can try all drinks. I once tasted a mango, it was very sweet but good. I don't remember the name of the lady that give it to me, she no longer lives in the village. But if I will eat some if I see on the table, last time I looked there were none. I love baking too and help mom make cakes and sell them on the village in order to get extra founds. Mom's baking is really good, we also make cookies, and pastries."

"Baking is really fun. I try to bake while at Hogwarts. The house elves love me and allow me to use the kitchens anytime I want. I wouldn't want to do it for a living though. I'm too adventurous and get bored easily. That's why I want to be a curse breaker. But I love to do it for fun.

"Yeah, I didn't see any mango up there. I was hoping for some."
