It was Sunday afternoon and Elia was true to her weekly baking date with Teebo. She and the overly enthusiastic house elf had became best friends when she gifted him a chef hat after assisting her with a complicated recipe. Ever since, every time Elia showed up at the school's kitchens, Teebo was impatiently waiting for her wearing the big chef hat and even bigger smile on his face. The two of them had shared their mutual dreams of opening a restaurant one day, a place where people could come and enjoy really good food, and launching a campaign of feeding the starving by traveling around the world. It seemed such a big dream for a sixteen years old witch at the moment, let alone for a house elf. But Elia already knew who would let work in her restaurant's kitchens once she had one. Besides, the world needed more happy souls like little Teebo and as her role model, the famous chef Orestes Agiadis had quoted, skills create dishes that capture the eye but personality creates dishes that capture the heart.

Elia that afternoon was on a cooking spree, taking out of the oven tray after tray of different flavored cookies with a savory smell lingering, inviting more and more house elves around her. After three hours of mixing and baking, cookies of every kind layered the bakery counter. From white chocolate and macadamia nut right through to crackled, lava-chocolate filled cookies, there was really something and plenty for everyone. With flour on her cheeks and chocolate stains on her unicorn apron, she was pleased to see the house elves coming first reluctantly to try a cookie, then treating themselves more, some even shoving a few of them in their ragged, pillowcases' pockets for later. Their smiles were the motivating force to keep on baking more. She had two more trays in the oven to keep in mind and let Teebo supervise as she went to the pantry for more ingredients that could spark here creativity. Apart from the extra flour, eggs and berries, she returned to her workstation with a coconut. She had never used one before and that challenged her. She intended to make enough cookies for students that might visit the cookies later. Some of them like the Hufflepuff boy with the scar on his left eye, were regular evening visitors in search for a snack.
