“Oh Hugo!” she squeaked bowing over and over to him in apology. “I am so sorry. This is Heather. She is my best friend in Gryffindor and that is Mr. Panda.” It seemed like many of her friends at Hogwarts kept the company of strange things, but Eino still took the cake with Faustus. “Heather, this is Hugo. He is in Ravenclaw and is another of my best friends.” Kurumi’s cheeks flushed a bit and she attempted to hide the face by sticking her face back into her cookie notebook.
Looking back up at Hugo, she pointed to a portion of the page. “Hugo, do you think you could take care of the simmering aspect of the dish? You just need to mix the cider, lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar until they begin to boil. After, once Connor is finished with the apples, we will add those and they you need to keep stirring until the mixture becomes mushy.” She gestured towards the counter where everything had already been measured out. "Twinkle and I already finished the measurements, all you need to do is mix and stir." Almost like in Potions, but she left that fact out JUST in case Professor Lafay decided to magically appear in the kitchen and deduct house points for comparing potion brewing to cooking.
"I am glad to hear that," Kurumi chirped as she leaned over to inspect his apple chopping. "I think another apple or so and then we can add it to Hugo's saucepan once it starts boiling." Kurumi glanced back at her notebook. Time for her to take care of the more difficult portion of the dessert.
Hugo looked at Kurumi when she apologized. Why was she bowing? Then he smiled and took a step forward to Heather.
"Hi Heather," Hugo said and extended his arm for her to shake. He had seen her around, but had never spoken to her which seemed odd.
That... Sounded hard. But he was going to do it. He wasn't a pretty alright potion brewer for nothing.
"Yes ma'ame," he said and saluted for some reason. Hugo hopped towards the counter and looked at all the ingredients. Okay. Let's do it. Hugo mixed all the ingredients and stirred.
"Heh. Almost like potions isn't it?" Hugo said looking back at Kurumi. Stir... Stir... Stir...
After stirring for a while Hugo asked
"Kurumi, do you think it's ready for the apples?" He didn't know much about cooking but it looked pretty boilin' to him.

"Here Mate, what do you say you help me with these and we let the ladies chat for a mo'? He grinned at the guy, "So Hugo I think I saw you and Will Starr arguing over something at the feast earlier, It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who would like to see the backside of that one leaving Hogwarts." He said conversationally, Even if they were related, he didn't care for the way Will treated the ladies, or whatever man happened to be with the lady in question at the time."
Yes. Okay. He walked over with Connor and took a seat on the counter near the door.
"That kid sets my teeth on edge," Hugo admitted.
"He believes that the only way to treat a girl properly is to call her hot and give her compliments," he sighed and rolled his eyes.
"He should just stay out of Fee and my business," he told Connor. It was very rude of him to just drop into a conversation and tell her with Hugo near that he thought Hugo didn't treat her right. And when he wanted to tell William off, the kid said to stay out of his private conversation! What. A. Prick.
"I personally believe love is based on friendship," Hugo said and nodded.
