~Tuesday

Hermione slept late as there was no reason to be up early, a knock on her door.

'Yes?' as she opened the door to find Lucius.

'I was just checking on you, before I left for work.'

'Oh I'm fine just stayed up too late last night reading.'

'Oh ok why don't you go shopping for some stuff to redecorate this room.' he kissed her on the cheek and left.

'Tinky do you want to knit with me today?' pop Tinky was standing there with her knitting in tow. They sat and knit until lunch.

'Tinky does the cook know how to make pizza?'

'I don't know I will go ask.' pop 'No but she would like to learn so she can make it for you.'

'Well I guess I'm going shopping.'

Back in the kitchen a few hours later and multiple bags later. Hermione, Tinky and Harpy, the cook, started to make pizzas. The dough had risen. All three had a pizza in front of them ready for toppings.

'Ok so we put some sauce on them.' as she spooned some on and the two elves copied her.

'Harpy does Mr. Malfoy like Peperoni?'

'I does not know what they are, miss.' Harpy's ears fell.

'Here try one.' as she pulled slices out for them to try.

'Oh that is good.' Tinky professed.

'OK lets spread some around then.'

'How about peppers?' holding up the green peppers.

'Yes miss.' as her ears twitched in excitement of learning something new.

'So sprinkle a little on like this.' the both followed her lead and added stuff to the pizzas. When they were done the kitchen looks like a herd of hippogriffs had run thru.

'Ok they are ready for the oven.' as she turned to look at the kitchen, Lucius came in to the mess.

'What happened in here, may I ask?'

'We made pizza for dinner! I thought it might be fun and you might even like it! You have 15 minutes to get ready for dinner.' Hermione turned to start straightening up the mess. Lucius just turned and shook his head. Tinky and Harpy was standing in the corner pulling their ears in fright of being in trouble.

'Don't worry you're not in trouble, you were only doing as I asked. If we work together we can get this cleaned up in no time.' just as they finished up the time went off. 'Harpy how long does it take to make some sandwiches up if Mr. Malfoy doesn't like our dinner?'

'No time at all, but he should like it, it has all of his favorites on it.' she claimed.

Hermione cut the 3 pizzas and sent one with the girls for their dinner to share with the other elves.

'You will tell me if the others like it or not? And you can tell me they don't like it, it won't hurt my feelings. Ok?'

'Yes Miss we will tell you.' Tinky said as they popped out with their pizza.

Hermione grabbed 2 butter beers, pizza and two plates and went to find Lucius in the library.

'Here we go, hope you like pizza.' as she put the pizza on the coffee table and sat on the floor. Pulling pieces on to the plates and handing one to him. He just looked at it.

'Oh it's not gonna kill you, it is veggies and some meat on bread. We can change up the ingredients next time if there is something you don't like, just try it. Harpy said she can make you a sandwich if you don't like it.' in a dead tone. She picked up her piece and started on it. Lucius just watched her eat.

'Oi this one turned out pretty good, needs a little more sauce next time, but still really good, eat up Lucius.' he tried it, not bad but not the easiest or cleanest meal to have.

'Is this a normal muggle dinner?' with a little look of doubt.

'Why yes, and pizza, beer and a game on tv, are you not liking it?'

'Um it's ok, I guess I'm not use to using my hands to eat. But thank you for the experience.'

Pop

'Miss we like pizza, Truie wants more peppers on his next time, but we think they were perfect.' Tinky spoke.

'Well next time you make it just add more to his half of the pizza. And I think this one will be enough for us so you can take the last one back with you to eat.'

'Oh thank you miss, Truie will be happy.' as she popped out.

'You like to cook and destroy a kitchen?' he said with a smirk.

'The kitchen was not destroyed! There were no explosions this time!' with a grin on her face, 'but yes it is relaxing to cook. It's just like brewing potions, a little of this and a little of that, wait for it to finish cooking and you have a wonderful meal to share. I can teach you it's fun, just ask Tinky and Harpy. I think they had a blast.' She climbed back up onto the sofa and tucked her toes under Lucius's leg.

'So how was your day?'

'Well busy we are trying to negotiate a new deal to import supplies for the company. You wouldn't be interested. So how was your day?'

'Just went shopping, and destroyed the kitchen. I'm wore out I'm going to bed you probably have work to finish up.' as she got up, she kissed him on the cheek and left the room. He went back to his study.
