Hestia Jones

You should open a restaurant or something, Hes, people would pay for this. [nods] Yes, I suppose that’s rather clever of you, romance is terribly complicated. [smiles] Thank you, dear, you’re far too kind.

Oh I would highly doubt that. Not complicated just.. not worth it I suppose. The thought gives me too many anxieties. You're welcome.

-ignores her hand- I suppose I must be, yes, Olivia Parrish. Clara has never mentioned you. But that is beside the point, hobbies are inadvisable at your age, they only serve as distractions from your studies.

*Taking her hand back* Uh.. yes well I'm not really interesting enough to write about. *Smiles faintly* I only do my hobbies after I have finished all of my work, Miss Parrish. 

[hesitantly pokes at the soufflé with a spoon and takes a tiny bite] Hestia, this is good! Like really good! [tilts her head] But it’s so much fun! And if you slip you just land in more snow, and it’s so pretty and sparkly and romantic…

Thank you, Doe. Eat it if you want. It'll probably go to waste otherwise. The last thing I need is anything to do with romance. I'm ever so glad you had fun though, angel

So is this what they’re teaching the young witches of the future now?

Oh no, this is just a hobby. *Smiles* You must be Clara's mother. *Holds out her hand* It's just lovely to meet you, my names Is Hestia Jones. I'm in Clara's dorm.

I’ve never had a soufflé, what do they even taste like? [raises an eyebrow] Oh, well that’s no good! I wish I’dve known you were bored,  just got back in from playing with my little sister in the snow.

*Shrugs* Try some. *Groans* It's snowing again? I really don't like the snow. It makes me slip over. 

But they hurt you really bad… this really can’t continue…

I'm alright. Please don't worry yourself with it.

Hes… Are you sure you don’t want to tell someone?

I don't think so. It'd only result in more tears.

Thank you Hestia -grins- How’s your little big Slytherin problem, love?

You're quite welcome, dear. Not very good i'm sad to say. It seems that I have turned into a game for them to play with. I'm thinking that if I try and minimize the time I spend in the corridor and instead stay in the Ravenclaw tower or the kitchens then they won't be able to hurt me so often.

I might just explode the whole Castle if I ever try to bake.

Bless your cotton socks. Well you know where I am if you'd ever like help with cooking, sweetpea. 

That’s so cool!

I thought so too! Unfortunately I'm not the biggest fan of soufflés so this one will just have to sit around until someone comes along and scoffs it. I only made it because I've been incredibly bored with nothing to do.

That would be very nice of you, Hestia! Thank you!

It's my pleasure, Davey! I just love to bake, especially when it's for other people. 

*Smiling proudly* I did it! I made soufflé! Only took me eight attempts. 

Full of surprises young one! *Looks at her tie* Oh lovely a Ravenclaw! Do you know my Hes?

No, just that I didn’t appreciate it as much… Why? am I in trouble?

Of course you're not in trouble, sweetpea! I'm glad you've come to realise how lovely it is though. Perhaps I'll make you some chocolate chip cookies.
