Hogsmeade was crowded!
Yes, almost by Hogwarts students from all year levels. The Professors and other School Staff were also there, she even saw Professor Roslund and Professor Scabior in the Main Street when she entered the village.
Beezus wanted to visit Madame Puddifoot's so bad and get some ice cream but when she went there earlier, there were so many people that she couldn't even fit through the door. It was the same on the Three Broomsticks and even on the Candy Shop! Gaaaahhh, there were just too many. And that was the very reason she was here, in a shop she doesn't even know the what the name is.
SIGH.
"Just where in Merlin's beard am I?" the eaglette inquired as she looked around, up at the ceilings, and down at the floor.
'I...don't think I'm still in Hogsmeade', she thought.
