Her smile stayed on her lips while her eyebrows rose. "I thought for sure you'd be the first to brave the pastry." She said to him and noticed his face. Evelyn must have turned him down. "Remember what I told you... I was the other fish." He gaze went up to the rest of the students filing into her classroom.



"I am well, Miss Wheatborn" She said watching her.



"I am doing well, Miss Gardiner, thank you for asking." She said with a nod. Nope... she didn't eat it either.



"Hello Miss Burton," she said and although the girl was staring at the sweet, she too did not eat.



"Good day to you Miss Dupont." She said with a nod.



"Hello Miss Stewart-Quinn" She greeted.



"Miss Carter-Hope, Hello." She said and started rubbing her left hand with her right... felt bare now...



"I am well... Mr. Watson" Hecate said smiling.



Oh come on! If she couldn't count on Gryffindors to be brave... then who?

"Good day, Master Gert." She said.



"Hello Miss Blackthorne," She said with a nod.



"Hello, Miss Skylar." She told the girl. She seemed hungry, yet she wasn't eating.



"Yes... a nice think layer of dark chocolate gnash in the middle..." She smiled. It was the truth.



"Good Day Miss DeCour" She said.



"It is indeed, Master Goldstein" she said and watched the boy ponder over the sweet.



"Good day, Prefect Hollingberry." She said and moved to the next person. These Gryffindors were letting her down.



"Good say Master Escalante." She said.



"Hello Miss Remora," She greeted.



"Miss Potter, it is good to have you... in... my class..." Odd... that actually felt sincere... She hated children... she had never wanted to be a professor... Now she saying it was good to have students in her class?



"Hello Master Montcenaggio." Finally! Someone eating the sweet. "Thank you for living up to expectations. You are a very brave boy."



"Good day Miss Charlotte" She said.



"I am doing well, thank you Miss Fairfield." She answered



"Hello Miss Wilson," she said.



"It is indeed a gorgeous morning, Miss Salazar." She said.



Hecate was smiling as the girl picked it up to smell it. "Miss Shepard, I am surprised at you," she said shaking her head. "If I had laced that sweet with a potion, you better believe it would be odorless and tasteless, so that the cake would remain delicious. I am a very good potioneer."



"Hello Master Gabben..." She said watching the boy sit.



"Hello Captain Phillips," she said smiling.



"Hello Prefect Flores," She nodded.



"Hello Master Moon" she said.



"Hello Master Pictor" She greeted.



"Hello Miss Kieren" she said with a nod.



"Good day Master Kim." She said.



"Yes Miss Castell?" She asked. "You may eat the cake, if that's what you were asking."



"Miss Greingoth." She said giving her a look. What was this Hey stuff the girl was starting to do... "Hello."

"Well, it seems only Master Montcenaggio was brave enough to try the cake... it is true. I've laced the cake with something will alter his appearance by the end of the class... but the potion will make him return to normal. You may chose not to eat the cake, though you will only receive half the points. So, dig in..." She said and took a petit four and ate it herself.
