Default Cookding Lessons Date: Sebastien Welton and Anneke Becker



An up and coming restaurant, The Flaming Horntail, is popular amongst the young adults of Fountainbridge Edinburgh. Wooden tables are scattered about half of the restaurant and cushioned booths take up space along the darkly colored walls. Photos of local and famous visitors cover some of the walls where windows are absent, and if one were to look closely, they could spot a bit of skillful graffiti etched into the walls. The bar tends to be packed during sporting events both magical and muggle, and one of the owners, all of who are recent graduates themselves, can always be spotted roaming about.

Despite the loud music and university students pouring out of the brick building at all times of the day (and often late nights) this place is family friendly, holding several events to entertain the permanent residence of Fountainbridge. One such event is the monthly cooking lessons held by part owner Georgina “Genie” Freeman. The muggles always wonder how the place transforms so quickly, but wizards know its magic that banishes the tables, replacing them with cooking stations, all the needed supplies and ingredients sitting neatly on each station or in the drawers.

Genie stands at the station up front, excited to teach yet another lesson to an eager bunch, and even more excited this go around that Ms. Raphael has chosen here for one of date locations. Instructions and demonstrations are given out but the woman isn’t a stickler for the rules and always encourages creativity while cooking. Her own station often goes abandoned to check and see that no one’s cut off any fingers, and to lend a helping hand. Of course there are stools available for those who’d like to sit while they wait for their finished product. Whip up something delicious, set it in the stove, and enjoy with your date when it’s done!

Anneke was not so happy about how her friend signed her up for this blind dating thing. She went on dates very rarely so she wouldn't have to get in a big mess if the date went wrong. After her friend had told her she would be going to this date she tried to go and hide somewhere but she heard she would be cooking and who doesn't like cooking? Cooking was one of Anneke's favorite things!

Seb wasn't nervous or anything. He was a bit shocked actually. He knew the moment his dearconniving sister saw the new shoppe, she wouldn't waste time and set him up for something. He wasn't exactly made about it either though. In fact, he was looking forward to it. It was something new and he was willing to give it a chance.

Standing near the back, he glanced at his pocket watch as he took in the sight of the restaurant. He hadn't been too familiar with the place, but having looked into it before he showed up; he was kind of excited about what they might have in store for them. Edinburgh had always been a place he liked to visit and it did remind him of his youth.

Spotting a young lady who seemed to be alone, he made his way over with one hand behind his back. "Excuse me, by chance would you be Annke?" he asked after a moment.

Anneke was still quite annoyed about someone signed her up for this thing. Even though it wasn't quite short notice or anything she still didn't like it. She had a good life were she lived in Switzerland until she came back to the UK were she spent a lot of her teen years. But only coming back made it worse because she didn't exactly enjoy those years at all.

As Anneke was about to walk a bit until she hear a voice close to her that had her name in it. Please not her date she though to her self. "Yes, I am Anneke. Are you Mr. Welton?"

Seeing the young lady before him, Seb smiled and nodded. "Guilty as charged, but please call me Sebaisten. Mr. Welton makes me feel older than I'd like to feel." He's days were already filled with being surrounded by younger people as is and he didn't want to feel old all the time.

Pulling his hand from behind his back, she presented her with a surprise. "For you. I hope you like them." He knew if he didn't at least attempt to try to make this a real date, he wouldn't hear the end of it from his family and his mother and sister had taught him well. Girls liked to get flowers, right?
