Did you teach either Hermione or Draco to bake? (I'm guessing you didn't teach Draco, given his issues with toast.) I find kneading bread to be moderately meditative, and wonder if you actively considered it as an avenue for allowing the idle mind to chew over difficult problems. I know you had some inspiration for the Sleeper problems while you were working on the brioche.
Also, did you leave your recipe books to anyone? I expect Hermione is probably too busy to bake these days.
