The following week had been... quite eventful to say the least. The group, after hours of bickering about whether they'd see Grease or Star Wars, decided to watch both films, Grease on Monday and then Star Wars on the Wednesday. Elara was pretty indecisive when they did a vote, Grease was just amazing and Star Wars was as well. But, Gaia bribed her with Skittles to chose Grease and Elara loved Skittles so naturally she gave in ( Cedric was beyond annoyed and refused to talk until Elara decided to throw some water at him )

It was now Friday, the group had seen both films and tonight was their last night and then they'd leave and go home ( much to Elara's dismay ). But, yesterday was the full moon so the whole group ( after they raided the old boxes up stairs and tried on some old clothes ) decided to bake Remus some nice sweets while he slept. They had gone and used some of Gaia's spare money she got for her birthday and went down to the local shop ( took them ages and Morgan got a lot of weird glances because he was still wearing the skirt he tried on some of Sirius' old clothes ). When they got back, Lois and Morgan bickered a lot about whether they'd make cakes or chocolate cookies.

"Cookies are way better!!" Morgan tried throwing an egg at her, only for Cedric to hold him back. Lois stuck out her tongue and yelped when Gaia smacked her over the head.

Sighing, Elara shook her head, picking up the packet of flour and placing it on counter. "How do we resolve this?" She asked Daphne who was busy searching the drawers for any pots and pans.

"Make both?" Daphne couldn't care less about resolving this argument. She really did enjoy watching the siblings argue, it was her favourite past time.

"P-P-Pefect!" Wisteria clapped her hands together, jumping up and down in excitement.

Within an hour, Sirius had to come down and tell them ( more specifically Morgan who was constantly yelling at Lois for eating his Haribos ) to be quiet so that Remus could sleep. Elara would just wave him off and he'd be back upstairs to comfort his boyfriend.

Gaia was a pretty good baker. She actually did baking quite a lot with her mamgu ( that's welsh for Grandma ) and mam who taught her a lot. In Cardiff, her mum ran a bakery in the local town centre that made an assortment of sweets. Gaia often helped in the summers when she wasn't at Elara's and tried bringing sweets in on the first week ( she often couldn't ). Right now, she was busy whisking the icing, watching carefully as Elara rolled out some fondant icing and Wisteria cracked some eggs in a pan, trying to make Remus a nice cooked breakfast to cheer him up.

"My dad always tells me and my mam that us women need to stay in the kitchen because we belong there and I totally agree," Elara furrowed her eyebrows. "Because the kitchen is where the knives are kept," Elara choked back a laugh as Gaia said it so nonchalantly. She had a point.
