The guy explained what he meant by "guess who", telling her that it was a No-Maj—or Muggle—game, where the players had to figure out the other player's character by asking them questions about who they were. It sounded interesting, though the guy apologized to her for rambling on about it.
Penelope hadn't played that one before, but she understood why he had mentioned it and didn't mind the rambling at all. It did sound sort of like what they were being forced to do because of all of the enchanted masks, though the game was probably more fun than having to guess people's identities out of the necessity of not embarrassing themselves too much.
As she got closer to guessing the identity of the guy she was dancing with, though, he surrendered and lifted his mask. She recognized his face, though she couldn't remember if she'd spoken to him before—not as much as they were conversing then, at least. "I’m Jacob," he smiled at her. "Hopefully I didn’t ruin the surprise too much."
Shaking her head, Penelope tried to act overly surprised but just ended up laughing. "You didn't ruin it," she assured Jacob. She had to admit that he… had sort of a nice face. Now that she could see it and identify it. "I'm Penelope," she smiled back at him, officially introducing herself because she hadn't before.

The blonde explained that Jacob hadn’t ruined the surprise and he just laughed for a moment. At least he hadn’t been someone she was trying to avoid or not who she was expecting. That would have been a little awkward or disappointing for the girl he supposed. Jacob always felt a little awkward so that was just nothing new to him. The girl introduced herself as Penelope, he hadn’t heard the name around the common room even if he had seen her a few times the rare time he was in the common room or just around the castle. “Nice to meet you Penelope.” Jacob replied, which it was. This night could have gone worse just based on who Jacob had ran into. One of his sister friends for example would have been a nightmare. “Want to go get something to eat or drink? I promise the snacks will be good, I-I stole a couple while baking so I would know.” Jacob laughed jokingly for a moment. He trusted his skills in baking and cooking more than anything else so he felt safe in saying they were good even if he hadn’t tried them.

After she had formally introduced herself to him, Jacob told her that it was nice to meet her. Penelope had to admit that she liked that he seemed like he was a genuinely nice guy and not the kind who acted like he was really cool to try to impress girls.
"Want to go get something to eat or drink?" he offered. He additionally promised her that the snacks would be good, since he had stolen a couple of them from the batches he had baked.
Trying some of the snacks sounded good to Penelope, especially since Jacob was the one who had baked them, and she had laughed softly at his comment about having stolen some of the food for himself. She probably would have tried them had she not run into him, but she definitely thought that it would be worth giving them a taste test.
"Okay," Penelope agreed with a smile, not that she had ever once thought about declining Jacob's offer, "but you've got to tell me which ones are the best!" Hopefully that wouldn't be too difficult for him, since he'd made it all himself.

Penelope agreed to going to get something to eat on the condition that Jacob told her which ones were the best. “That depends on you’re personal tastes but I can tell you everything at the table tastes amazing. Well I can’t speak for the punch I didn’t make that.” Jacob spoke in one of the rare times he sounded genuinely confident. His cooking was the only thing that could actually do that, everything else he was full of questions or worried he’d make a fool of himself. His future was in cooking, even if it wasn’t a very magical profession nowadays. He just hoped his parents would be fine with that instead of the high profile jobs they always had hoped for their children. Jacob began to lead the way back toward the table with the food. “As long as there is something left I’d recommend the brownies, as they were my favorite.”

Informing her that what would be the best of the snacks was dependent upon her personal tastes, Jacob said that everything at the table would taste amazing. Except for the punch, he said; he hadn't made that.
Penelope, who took Jacob's word for it, nodded and followed him over to where the food was. She was glad that the hemline of her dress was raised higher in the front than in the back, since it would keep her from tripping on it and making a fool of herself.
"As long as there is something left," he told her, "I’d recommend the brownies, as they were my favorite."
"Ooooh," Penelope smiled. Brownies did sound good. From the looks of the table, it seemed that there were some of those left, too. "You haven't laced them with a love potion or anything, have you?" she questioned him with a laugh. She was only joking with him, really, but it fit the theme of the night.

Jacob smiled for a moment as Penelope seemed excited about brownies once he mentioned them. That was his normal reaction too so he knew the feeling. As they got to the table thankfully there were some left. He had started to fear the table would be picked clean by the time he ever got around to it. Once there she asked if he had laced the food with any type of love potion. He could tell she was only kidding by the laugh that followed. “Please, I would never do anything like that to an innocent baked good. Now if Gilderoy did While no one was looking I wouldn’t find that hard to believe.” Jacob said laughing as well, feeling more relaxed. Willing to poke fun at the Ravenclaw who put all this together for a moment.

At her joke about the possibility that a love potion had ended up into the baked goods, Jacob reassured her that wasn't the case. "Please, I would never do anything like that to an innocent baked good," he promised, at which Penelope laughed. She picked up a brownie then, listening to Jacob add that he wouldn't find it hard to believe if Gilderoy had done it when nobody was looking.
"I'll take my chances, then," she smiled, examining the brownie for a moment as she held it in her hand. It didn't look tainted by any potions or anything else. It just looked like a brownie—a really good brownie. "Let's see…" she mused, taking a bite of it.

Penelope joked that she would take her chances that Gilderoy might not have tampered with the baked goods with some kind of love potion. While there was a small part of him that could see Gilderoy doing that he highly doubted he would. Jacob was sure he was too worried about the party being perfect to risk something silly like that. She added, let’s see before taking a bite. “Well? Is it good or are you suddenly compelled to go tell Gilderoy how much you love him?” Jacob asked attempting to make an awkward joke but also interested to know how she found his cooking. While Jacob was confidence in it he was also always looking for peoples input, as a way to improve mostly.

Penelope bit into the brownie as delicately as she could, afraid of getting crumbs everywhere. The brownie tasted just as good—if not even better—than it had looked.
"Well?" Jacob questioned her.
She chewed for a moment and then swallowed. The brownie was delicious, and she certainly didn't feel any different—besides the shock of not having met Jacob before to know that he was such a good baker.
"Is it good," Jacob went on, "or are you suddenly compelled to go tell Gilderoy how much you love him?"
Careful not to drop the brownie she was holding, Penelope laughed. "It's not tainted," she assured him with a smile. "It's really great, Jacob." She wondered if he would think of her as weird for asking for his recipe, if he would even consider giving it away.
