He laughed as she struck her pose, realizing a bit belatedly that the cake would be deposited directly into his hand.  And as she pulled out her own cake to eat with him he realized they were going to just eat it, right then and there, in the middle of Diagon Alley.  That tracked.  What he knew of her, she wasn’t one to wait.

"Well - right away I guess." he said with a chuckle, lifting it to his mouth to take a bite.  Before his teeth had even fully sunk in she'd swooped into stare at him and he raised his brows at her in a silent question. 

"Oh merlin…" he muttered around his mouthful as her expression turned impish in time to reveal that he was eating an experiment.  Immediately his brain jumped to assume the worst. 

"Mhmm."  he started with an exaggerated head nod, not wanting to disappoint her but still very distracted by the prospect of what on earth she meant by 'new ingredients'.  He swallowed hard before continuing  "It tastes like lemon." he offered, not really having the pallet for a more refined opinion.  After a beat, with just a hint of resignation in his tone he added "Don't tell me there's like … beetles in this or something."
