Now she was just looking at the oven. He would have to show her, Toddles would. "Here." He scooted in front of her and pressed the button to turn the stove on. "You need to use a BIG pot and then put water in it first." Yes, that's the way.

Good studensie.

"Toddles is going to be working on the bread!" He jumped up on the counter and began rifling through the cabinets making a ton of noise until he found a huge stack of baking sheets. He then threw those on the floor all spaced out. Next he went to the pantry and began tossing loafs of bread out into a pile by the cookie sheets.

"This is going to be yummy bread, it will."

Eliza blushed when Toddles had to show her how to use the oven, but she knew it was all right. She'd never used this oven before and in her opinion, no two kitchen appliances were alike. Besides, her mom and dad did most of the cooking at home, so she wasn't really used to getting the stove started. Boiling water though, she could do.

She searched in the lower cupboards of the kitchen, since that's where they kept pots and pans at home - and behold! A very large, very deep pot was right there waiting for her. That should be enough for all of this pasta, right? She remembered from cooking spaghetti at home that noodles went a long, long way.

She lugged the heavy pot out and put it on top of the oven, making a loud clanging sound. She flinched at her noise, and looked around the kitchen in hopes she hadn't disturbed anyone. That's when she noticed some of the professors coming into the kitchen. She waved at them with one hand and held the pot still with the other. "Hi there Professors!" She wondered if they were down here for a snack too, but she didn't ask.

She turned back to the pot and began filling it with water. "Aguamenti!" She filled it up, up, and up. Lots of noodles would need lots of water, so she gave it what it needed. "Finite." Now it was time for the noodles. She grabbed the box and pulled out a handful, then another, and another. There were a lot of students at Hogwarts and she didn't want anyone going hungry, so she made sure it would fill the pot.

But until then, she waited for the water to boil. And waited. And waited. Okay big pot equals long wait time for boiling. Wait...can't I...Yes! Adding salt makes it boil faster. She grabbed some and shook a bit into the pot. Now it was really starting to bubble, so she dumped in the pasta.
