"Ignore him." Liam sighs. "The armour I make for the boys can deflect any type of spell... although I'm still working on them. Some of the stronger spells are harder to withstand."

"I see."

"It's better than nothing though."

"And you, Blaise? You a boxer too?"

Blaise smirks, looking at the boys.

"As you can see, Blaise is very proud of his talent." Dylan rolls his eyes.

"Do tell."

"Well, I'm basically the boys' personal chef. They're so unappreciative honestly." Blaise explains.

"Get on with it Zabini." Theodore sighs.

"Well basically, the food I make has healing properties. So whenever we come back from a mission, and one of us is injured, my food eases the pain and heals the wound faster."

"No way." Layla says, standing there in disbelief.

"Not that we get injured all the time." Theodore adds.

"His magical protein shakes are great too." Enzo says, putting a thumbs up. "Ten out of ten."

"That's actually so cool. I mean, how?"

"It runs through the family." Blaise shrugs.

"Yeah, you should meet his mum she's actually the best." Enzo adds.

"One day hopefully. I'll tell her how her son tried to obliviate me."

"Come on-" Blaise groans, whilst the boys start laughing.

"Anyways, Draco." Layla scoffs. "What's your skill?"

"His skill is to sit there and eat apples all day." Dylan rolls his eyes.

"Not surprised to be honest." Layla laughs.

"He's actually Mattheo's cousin." Enzo tells her.

"Enzo!" Mattheo says through gritted teeth, whacking the back of his head again.

"Wait- really!? How!?"

"That's not important."

"So angel, have you decided to join us?"

"As amazing as this is, I still don't trust you guys."

"Ugh." Mattheo rolls his eyes with a sigh.

"You really want me that much Riddle?" Layla asks, raising her brows.

"No. Don't let this boost your ego Lopez."

"I just love how you guys really cannot call each other by your first names." Dylan laughs.

"Yeah, it's a surname basis only." Layla rolls her eyes.

"She secretly loves it." Mattheo smirks, and Layla tuts, annoyed.

"Anyway, would you like a tour of the place Layla?" Dylan asks her.

"There's more?" Layla asks in shock.

"A lot more."

"Show me Jacobs." Layla says, linking arms with Dylan, earning glares from Mattheo before they go off on a stroll.

Dylan and Layla head out of the hall, and he takes her to the kitchens.

"Oh Merlin!" Layla exclaims. "Why's it so big? There's only one chef."

"Blaise is over the top. He says he needs the space for his 'cooking mastery'. Don't get me wrong though, the food he makes is amazing. Don't tell him I said that though, he needs to be humbled."
