"Yes Katie you may work in groups" Marcus replied giving the girl a smile, "Actually I think it would be better for those unfamiliar with muggle cooking."
He looked over to Legend and chuckled softly, "Of course if there are those who want to work by themselves then that is fine too."

Okay, so it was a known fact the she really did not like Lawson, and yeah, she would like to kick him sometimes, but that kick from last term was not something she wanted to think about at the moment. "No, I don't think she should kick him. Just stick to the original plan!" Whatever that was. Did they even have a plan? Too late for that now, though. At any moment the Professor was going to grow wings and leap onto the three of them. Wait a moment! Aliens don't have wings! Silly.
Looking back at the Lawson minion, Destiny couldn't help but laugh. "Ask him to leave? Are you CRAZY!? He is going to EAT us!" He wouldn't let them leave. "Hey, what are you making there anyway?" she asked as she saw him taste whatever was in his bowl. It was probably some type of gravy that Lawson liked to pour onto the children he eats.
And then the Lawsonator spoke! About her apron! "No, sir. It is not a joke. I haven't washed my hands yet and I probably won't either." Perhaps he wouldn't eat her if he knows she was dirty. And wait! He gave her..points! HAHA! In yo' face everyone! Destiny knew she was special for being the ONLY one wearing an apron! She couldn't help but wonder if he would have given out more points if she wore a chef hat, too. Next time, for sure!
Now that she had points, there was no way she was leaving. Lawson was giving out housepoints, and she WANTED MORE! "I think I'll stay now." she said giving Evelyn a glare that told her to sit down too. Taking her cookbook off Marie, Destiny sat down at a work station and found the recipe she was going to work on. She snickered at Lawson's comment to Marie, and turned to face her other Slytherin friend, "And stomp on his toes." she whispered, then gave a quick thumbs up. Classic!
Destiny was pretty familiar with all the utensils set before her. She had used them all at least once and was sure she knew what they all did. Picking up a wooden stirring spoon, she held it above her head, "This is a SPOON!"
Marcus chewed on the inside of his mouth to keep from laughing at Destiny's comment. "I see" he finally said and then looked between the three girls and the Gryffindor for a moment. "Well if anyone gets sick because of the germs from your dirty hands. Then I give those infected permission to punish you anyway they see fit."
He rolled his eyes when she held up the spoon. "Correct" he drawled as he turned to look at Evelyn.

Wait, what did that one guy say? Well they couldn't do what he said NOW! It would be quite obvious to know if they wanted to leave if they did all of that. Glancing around at everyone, Evelyn frowned before standing up straight again and looking utterly...embarrassed bored.
Pssh. This was all a trick. First, he practically made her come to the club, and now, he's showing her to the door. Confusing! At least he didn't have the little human with him this time. That was one little plus side to all of this, and actually made it more bearable.
She stood still in her spot, staring at the Professor for a few more moments, even though Destiny already left to go sit back down at the workstation, and debated whether or not she should...just go. But, that wouldn't happen. Sighing, and with a defeated posture, Evelyn dragged her feet back over to the workstation and plopped herself down on a seat.
"Well done genius." she mumbled to Destiny before laying her head down on the counter before a muffle voice could be heard. "This...is a table."
Just in case people didn't realize that fact either.
Lawson stared back at Evelyn as he watched inner conflict going on. It was sort of like a mexican stand off, who was going to give in first?
His lips twitched into a small smile as he watched the girl head back to her work station.
And that would be another win for Lawson.
Again he rolled his eyes at the Slytherin's answer, "Ya think? You girls are outdoing yourself with your knowledge of kitchen utensils." He snorted as he moved onto the next table.

"I think I wanna make fudge brownies. But like, you can't have fudge brownies without a drink right? So I think while there cooking...baking, I wanna make a drink of some sort as well. Can I do that?" She stoped her flipping and glanced over her shoulder at Lawson.
Glancing away from her book, she looked over to all the dingdongs and whohas. She recognized many of them and even knew what some where used for, the others she didn't pay much attention to. All that she needed she to use, she sorta kinda knew how to use.
"Arya, you may make anything you like. So long as you don't burn the place down." Lawson chuckled as he continued to move around the workstations.

Nymphy raised his hand. "Professor.... Isn't
this a whisk? or a whisckyer or something?" he said. He probably sounded stupid but at least he was trying.
"Ooooooo.... and
this is a laddle! I'm sure of it!!!!!!!!" he exclaimed.
Nodding at the boy, Marcus held up the utensils for the rest of the class to see. "You are correct Nymphy, this is a whisk which is used to mix things together but what makes it different from a spoon is that it makes the mixture lighter." He put the whisk down and then looked at the other utensil, "And yep this is a ladle, it is mostly used for serving up soup or stews. Its long handle makes it easier to dip into large pots and the bowl of the spoon is larger and deeper. Very good Nymphy, two points for Hufflepuff."

Gold was fine now, though. Which was exactly why she beamed at Professor Lawson, before letting him attend to the next student. Well, not attend. More like greet. How nice of him.
Cuuute.
Gold quickly sorted through the stuff, on her own workstation. There was much of the usual, and some stuff she didn't recognize. Where was Mr. T? She needed her Baker Extraordinaire.
She looked around the classroom, wondering if he was here. He had to be, he couldn't miss a club like that.
Or cooking, you know.
Marcus looked at Gold and his expression was one of understanding, last term had been hard on a lot of the kids. "If you ever need to talk..."he left the rest unsaid, he knew she would understand what he was getting at.
"Nothing like cooking to take your mind off things."

It was making him paranoid. "Err. um...yes..thank you.." he sputtered. At least he said something.
He relaxed when the professor moved on to talk to the other students. That was always a good thing. He wasn't going to be eaten then. This was going to be good, he thought. Learning how to cook. That was good. Food was good.
Dillon looked up. Muggle cooking? Epp!! That was dangerous. He didn't even think his dad simply cooked the muggle way.
He was going to lose his eyebrows for sure. He raised his hand, "Um professor do we have eyebrow insurance?" he asked meekly.
Laughing heartily as he made his way over to Dillon's workstation, Marcus took out his wand and gave it a small flick at the Slytherin's face. "You should be alright now, nothing will get to those eyebrows now." he gave the kid a wink as he moved on.

He wanted to participate in the tasks but his will to help overcomes them.
"Ah yes Daniel you can. If you could go to the refrigerators and take out some carrots and celery and hand them out to the students, that would be most helpful." Marcus gave the Gryffindor a pat on the back before walking over to the next table.

She chewed her lip as she glanced around. Was this a bad idea? Should she just... tiptoe away?
Noticing a blond flash out of the corner of his eye, Marcus turned towards the doorway and smiled. "Please come on Miss Toussaint" he called, beckoning her inside with his hand.
"Alrighty first off I am going to show you how to slice and dice. Daniel, will be around in a moment with some carrots and celery for you to practice on. While he is doing that, I shall go through the different kitchen knives."
Marcus stood behind his workstation and laid out all the knives onto his table. "This is your typical
kitchen knife set. They each have a different use. Does anyone know what each knife is used for?"
