"You're kidding, right?" exclaimed a shocked Bill Weasley as he stirred a bowl of sarcoline batter together. Fleur chuckled, shaking her head slightly. Bill's eyes only widened further, and he turned slightly to get a better view of her amused features.
"You've never had pancakes before?" His tone was a mix of amusement and distress as he gaped at her.
"Bill, darling," she replied in her thick French accent, "I'm from France."
She thought that would strike a chord with him, would make him realize the message she was trying to convey. However, he only raised a ginger brow in confusion, and she realized that perhaps being vague would not work in this situation.
"So?"
"In France we have crepes, which I hear are very close to pancakes," she explained, laughing to herself as realization dawned on Bill's freckled features. He turned back to the bowl of what she now knew to be pancake batter and continued stirring, flicking his wand to turn on the stove.
"So," he clarified, shifting over to their utensils drawer and searching for a ladle. "You've not tried pancakes at all, ever, like - in your entire life?"
She let out another tinkling laugh, "You are correct."
"Well then," he said with a smile, moving over to her with an almost mischievous glint in his eyes. "I guess we'll have to change that."
She returned his smile, pulling him in for a quick good-morning kiss. Her eyes crinkled at the corners as she replied.
"Yes, I suppose we shall."
