Evan listened attentively as Padma explained that there were insecticides that could be used for things. It was all very fascinating, Evan thought, the way particular things worked with others. Potions had always seemed very interesting to Evan, which really explained not at all why he was so awful at cooking. "Do you think cooking is a lot like potion making?" He asked once the thought had occurred to him. "I've recently started cooking classes because I'm really terrible," Evan explained. "But I was always good at Potions in school?" He added since that was the bit that to him seemed illogical.
"Can you cook?" Evan asked since it seemed important to establish if Padma was going to tell him whether potion making should have made him better at cooking. Then again, Evan had had to be shown how to 'properly chop' and he had done plenty of chopping for potions.
