Mynk laughed as well when April said that she agreed that wine was not the best idea for a teacher/student dinner.
"Well I don't want to completely scare you away for wine," she said. "When you get older, a glass or perhaps two is a nice addition to dinner. I myself enjoy Elderflower Wine." Mynk decided to stop there, as it was probably not the best idea to be seen and heard discussing how wonderful Elderflower Wine was with a student either. "But I think these lovely beverages will be wonderful with our dinner."
Mynk smiled when April spoke of what she liked.
"I am a bit of a risotto fan myself," she said. "We can the soup now perhaps and make risotto later. After all, with you being my aid, I am assuming there will a few times when you and I could have dinner and discuss class plans."
Mynk has never been married and had never had children of her own, which was a shame as she loved children. Spending this time with a sweet girl like April made her feel like she was spending it with a daughter.
"Now on to dessert," she said. "I am a cake person myself. What about you?"

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - April nodded in agreement. It did sound like the drinks they had picked out would go well with dinner.
"That sounds like a good idea. We could try some other recipes that you recommend, as well," she agreed again. When it came to dessert, April thought for a moment. "Cake is really good. My favourite is Black Forest cake, with fresh cherries. It is so delicious." She was starting to open up and to elaborate on her answers, which was a sign of her becoming more comfortable.
"So how long have you had the Divination teaching position at Hogwarts?" she asked curiously. She was interested to hear about how she first knew she was a Seer, too.

Mynk liked the idea of April perhaps becoming a cooking buddy as well as a teacher's aid.
"We should indeed," she said. "And love Black Forest Cake, as well as Plum Cake and Pumpkin Cream Cake. Cauldron Cakes are a favorite too if they are well made. My goodness, I'm getting hungry and I'm sure you are. We'd better move along so you don't miss dinner."
Mynk was planning to eat in the Great Hall that evening as well, and save the food she bought for the dinner with April.
(Being vague here)
Mynk told April how long she had been at the Divination Professor's post, and gave a bit of a sigh.
"It was really bittersweet taking the job," she said. "I was happy to take it of course, but it was sad to see Professor Trelawney retire. She was such a wonderful woman and an inspiration." True, many saw Trelawney as merely an oddball, but Mynk never did. She saw the true wisdom in the woman's eccentricities, and was honored when Trelawney gave Mynk her acceptance as her replacement.
"I actually feel accomplished being able teach a subject that is so frowned upon," she said. "Challenges are meant to be overcame after all."

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - April laughed at all the talk of cake. "Yes, all the talk of cakes is making me hungry, too. Missing dinner would be really sad," she agreed, as they finished up at the Neep.
April didn't know anything about Professor Trelawney, really. Aside from knowing that she was a gifted Seer. "It's great that you were able to fit in well to the position after such a talented Seer left it. It seems like you've done a great job since then," she complimented genuinely. April could really see how much Mynk was passionate about Divination, and sought to give her students the best opportunities they could in it.

(Guessing we can wrap this up here since they are separating after the Neep)
Mynk smiled when April complimented her about how well she had done and complimented Trelawney as well.
"If only you could have had classes with her," said Mynk. "You would have loved her too."
The time then came for their parting once they had reached Hogwarts again. Mynk smiled at her again and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"April, thank you for the lovely time together and again for accepting the position," she said. "I am already looking forward to next year. Now go enjoy your dinner and I will see you a few evenings from now." And with that, Mynk headed back up to her classroom as she knew April would be going in the opposite direction to prepare for dinner.
Mynk was indeed very happy with how the meeting went and the time together with a wonderful student. It was truly those like April that made her want to go on teaching.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - April smiled warmly in response. "Yes, thankyou for the drink and the company as well! I really enjoyed it. And I'm looking forward to dinner in a few nights! Thanks again for the offer," she said gratefully as they parted, and April went off to the Great Hall. She hadn't expected to be noticed, but it felt nice to know that she was valued by one of her professors.
