“That’s a pretty elaborate gingerbread house,” said Severus as he picked up a piece of the thin, spicy cake that had been intended as a front door and took a bite out of it. “It looks like it belongs in a storybook.”
Remus shot him an annoyed glance before turning back to gluing more tiles onto the roof with white icing. “That’s the idea. It’s for a contest. The category is fairytale cottages. The winner gets 20 galleons.”
“Oh, without a doubt I think you have the winner here,” said Severus munching thoughtfully on what was left of Remus’s door.
Setting down the icing tube, Remus began to painstakingly cut another door from a leftover sheet of gingerbread. “You think it’s that good?” he asked hopefully.
“Absolutely. Oh, there may be other gingerbread houses that are as fancy, I suppose, but this one definitely has an edge.”
Remus frowned uncertainly. “What edge do you mean?”
“No one else will have a fairytale cottage made by a genuine big bad wolf,” said Severus with a smirk, before quickly ducking his head to avoid receiving a face full of icing.
