Title: Pudding
Rating: E for Everyone
Summary: A little cooking lesson.

A/N: Adam calls me puddin' on occasion. Don't tell him I told you that. I have no idea why he does it, but it always makes me smile.

"Can't the house elves handle the pudding?"

"You said you wanted to learn to cook and you love Christmas pudding!"

"I do, but I only wanted…" Filius stopped short of telling her he had only been trying to spend more time with her.

"Wanted what?" A bright flowered apron covered her casual robes. Her fly-away hair was tucked behind her ears, though a few locks escaped each time she leaned over the counter. A bit of flour dusted the very tip of her nose.

You, he thought, not realizing he had spoken the word aloud.

"Okay."

"Okay?"

She smiled. "Yes."

Awwwwwww! I LOVED it!

My first reaction was, "oh, good, it's in fluff!"

Then I was overwhelmed by its fluffy sweetness -- warm and cozy and loving, but not tooooo sweet. Just right!

All the different meanings of "pudding"!

I just reread this (trying to remind my muse that she was just with me) and I realized there is a bit of Colin Firth's awkwardness from his story line in Love Actually. You may not read it that way, but I can feel it. Interesting.
