But it didn't matter actually because Abey barely noticed.

"Okay!" he replied, and gave his Head of House a double thumbs up. "Got it!"

Sort of, anyway.

Onto the apples then. Abey looked at his, leaning forward so his arms were folded on his desk and his chin was resting on them. From here, he could see that some of the sparkliness on the apples actually wasn't actually from the light shining off them, but escaped glitter that was stuck fast to the candied outside. Whoops.

Sooooo... which one LOOKED more magicked? It was... hard to tell, and Abey couldn't remember if most of his food at home was cooked with the help of magic or if it was all done by hand; he never really paid that much attention to it. He tried to imaging what the process was for making a candy apple with magic, and then see if either of the ones in front of him looked as though they fit the bill.

Hmmm... the coating would probably give it away. Abey had never made a candy apple before, but he thought that it must be very tricky to do by hand. It was so sticky that it was probably very difficult to get absolutely perfect, whereas with magic, the apples could be coated with ease, and could spin while levitating in the air so they could dry easily. If that was the case, then the one on the right looked more like it was made by magic.

Ooh, but what if it was A TOTAL TRICK, and they were BOTH magic... or BOTH hand made?

Abey thought that perhaps a taste test was in order, so he picked up both, one in each hand, and started off by licking the candy coating. Mmmmmm, sweet. Mmmmmmmm, still sweet.

... Okay, well... that didn't tell him anything at all. Maybe he should eat the whole thing. Both whole things. For science? Yes. Abey didn't mind ingesting a bit of glitter.

OH WAIT, ANOTHER QUESTION. "Are the handmade ones made by elf-hands or professor-hands?" It was a very important question which would help in his ultra smart investigation.

With his question asked, Abey went ahead and took a bite out of the first one. Or... tried to... because wow that candy surface... sure was something.
Gaston smiled as Mr. Botros nodded in reply to his answer... and nodded and nodded. It seemed the more thr boy nodded,the more glitter appeared on the desk and floor around him. But he'd deal with that later. The double thumbs up got him to laugh a little. "Good, Im glad you understand," he said.

He'd turned back toward his desk and was sipping on the apple cider Miss Sparkes had given him when Mr. Botros asked another question. "The handmade ones were made by the house elves," he replied with a slight smile. And they'd done a good job with them too! He couldn't cook without magic to save his life... though Mr. Botros probably didn't need to know that, did he?

After a few more minutes, the professor glanced at his watch. It was almost time to move on. "You have about five minutes left to finish your examinations," he addressed the class as he returned to his desk.

OOC: You still have JUST OVER 20 HOURS to finish the activity.
