If there was one thing Tabitha missed most about home it was helping her mother cook dinner every night. They may not have always had the best or most expensive food, but they always had something. When she had first arrived at hogwarts a month ago all the rich, and heavy food had made Tabitha ill, but she was mostly used to it now.
However she had been curious about all the people who were cooking the food. The teachers always are with them, but she never saw anyone that looked like a chef around the castle. So one weekend Tabitha decided to ask one of the older students for directions to the kitchens. She wanted to meet these chefs. Maybe they would let her help out sometimes. Imagine how surprised her mom would be of she came back with those skills! Tabitha made her way down to the kitchen thinking up all kinds of questions she could ask. When she pushed open the door she was surprised to see not wizard chefs, but what appeared to be tiny little gnomes dressed in dish towels. Tabitha stood there shocked for a moment, but before she could say anything one had already made its way to her.
"Does the young miss need anything?" The elf asked politely. Tabitha stood there for another moment before she could think of anything to say.
"Um hello. Yes I was hoping I could do some cooking of my own." She told the tiny creature. "What are you? Are you the cooks around here?" She asked not even realizing she might be being rude.
"We are the house elves miss. We do many things around the castle including cooking, and cleaning." The elf told her. "If the young miss would like to cook we can spare some room, but please try not to get in the way of the others. They are busy preparing for supper." He added while grabbing on to her cloak and leading her to a space of her own. Tabitha nodded dumbly to the elf. It was so odd seeing the house elves do their work. They worked harder, and faster then anyone she had ever seen, but they seemed content almost. Tabitha decided she was being rude starring like she was so she set to work finding the ingredients needed to make her favourite chocolate chip cookies. She had the recipe memorized because of how many times she had made them. Once she had gathered all her ingredients, and watched the funny little elves some more, she set to work. Maybe if these turned out well enough she could send some to her mom.
