The bucket....that Professor Myers apparently had on display somewhere.

Her cheeks were red. More and more girls were DOING that around him and he really wasn't sure what to make of it. He would ask Jessa...but conversations on that tended to turn too detailed and scientific for his innocent ears to follow. Abey...he would maybe talk to his Gryffindor about it.

"GREAT!" he squeaked as he grabbed the bowl and fumbled with the popcorn for a moment before getting it into the bowl. "Uuuuh....you probably ought to do the heating charm on the popcorn," he said a bit sheepishly. "I'm likely to burn it all. I can do the butter!" Which he grabbed next and carefully, sort of, measured out the one tablespoon worth and plopped that into the other bowl. "Calefacio?" he repeated, glancing up at Etta curiously. Had he said that right? At least there were no 's' sounds in this incantation. There WAS hope.

SPOILER!!: recipe just as a check list

Etta still couldn't believe he'd made a shirt with her face plastered on the top.. A shirt. Her FACE. She honestly didn't know what to feel about it. Mostly flattered but maybe a little awkward too. Was it even worth having HER face on a shirt after all? But she loved that Derf thought it was. He really was one of her favourite people.

She nodded when he mentioned taking care of the butter but said, "You should have more confidence, Derf. I'm sure you can do it better than me.".. which was true. She wasn't saying it just to be kind. Etta watched him carefully add the butter before he looked at her for clarification. "Yes, you're saying it right. Go on."

Etta smiled at him once more before proceeding to pour the necessary amount of corn into a bowl and pulling out her wand. She drew a flame-like shape with her wand over the bowl of kernel. "Calefacio." Soon enough, the kernels started to pop. She turned towards her partner once again, wondering if he'd managed to heat-up the butter.

SPOILER!!: recipe just as a check list Ingredients 2 cups unpopped popcorn 1 tablespoon butter 1 cup white sugar 1 cup molasses 1/2 teaspoon salt Directions Pour unpopped popcorn into one bowl. Pop corn using a heating charm (Calefacio). In the other bowl, melt butter using a heating charm. While one partner is doing this, the other stirs in the sugar, molasses, and salt. Continue to heat by moving wand evenly over the entire surface of the mixture. This process should take about 5 minutes. Pour mixture over corn, while stirring popcorn thoroughly. Butter hands lightly. Shape popcorn into 12 to 14 balls, and decorate with candy bits if desired. Cool finished popcorn balls with a cooling charm (Frigidus), and enjoy!
