Like Potions
A Harry Potter Drabble

For Erin (icedpandacookies)
"I don't understand why you don't get the house-elves to cook us dinner." Draco said. Astoria often invited him over for dinner and every time, she confused him by making him sit down at the kitchen so she could talk to him while she made dinner.
"I like cooking." Astoria told him as she chopped vegetables. "You should try it." She suggested, grinning at him over her shoulder. Draco scoffed. She knew he would.
"Yeah right." He said. Astoria laughed.
"I knew you'd say that." She teased. Draco frowned.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Astoria sighed and rolled her eyes, but didn't answer him.
"Fine. I will try it." He said, standing up and coming to her side. Astoria raised her eyebrows.
"You're sure?"
"Yes. Show me what to do." He insisted. Astoria passed him a knife and a chopping board and had him chopping vegetables for her. "It's kind of like potions." He said after a while, as she instructed him to pour the vegetables into the cooking pot. Astoria laughed.
The two of them cooked their meal and ate it together.
"Thank you." Draco said, as he helped her wash dishes.
"For what?"
"For teaching me… You were right. It was fun." He smiled, "Maybe I could cook for you some time?"
"I'd like that." Astoria said.
"But at my place, we're making the house elves clean the dishes."
