HUFFIE HAUNT FEST - Stage Front

"Hullo, hullo, hullo! I am a direct descendant of the lovely Helga Hufflepuff, how wonderful to meet you all!"

Streams smoothed her robes as she waited for the expected applause, and then waved it away, grinning. "Oh, you are too kind!"

She stood in the center of the stage, which was completely empty. "I am going to share with you some of the most fabulous culinary creations ever to be seen in this world! All of them were created by none other than--you guessed it!--Helga Hufflepuff, my idol. And by the time I've shown you how absolutely BRILLIANT she was at cookery, she will be your idol too, rest assured of that."

With a flourish, Streams raised her wand and swished it through the air. Instantly, a table appeared, with neatly stacked bowls, cutlery and all manner of kitchen implements upon it. "Of course, it is possible to create fantastic dishes with magic alone. But I've always found it best to have a few trusty devices, and ingredients, ones that you can trust will not blow up suddenly or disappear.

"So, first thing you must do is check your supplies and ingredients! Excuse me for a moment while I do just that..."

Muttering to herself, Streams waved her wand about, and more things kept appearing. Outwardly some of them seemed to be Muggle in design, but really they were nothing like the Muggle products they resembled.

Carefully, Streams set up the stage with a fridge, oven, stove and various other kitcheny stuff, until the stage resembled a top-of-the-line kitchen. Smiling widely, she conjured a vase of flowers and placed it neatly in the center of the table. She double-checked her ingredients, and then turned back to the audience. All of this had taken her less than three minutes.

"Now then, my intelligent friends! Prepare to be dazzled!"

Tonks was loving this! With her wand raised to her throat she said... " WELL ARE YOU ALL READY TO SEE SOME FINE COOKING?.... WELL LETS ALL GIVE IT UP FOR STREAMS!!! "
