At least until the poltergeist decided to leave the party.
Letting the shield charm dissipate, Finn grinned at Thornton, who had just finished his first chocolate frog. "Do you want my card too? I think I got Dumbledore." the fifth year held out the card, since he himself had lots of them already. While waiting to see if Thornton wanted the card, Finn grabbed a box of Bertie Botts Every Flavour Bean. Opening it up, he popped a blue one into his mouth and chewed. "These are like jelly beans but can come in any flavor imaginable." the older claw stated, swallowing the blueberry bean and picking out a green one. "Wanna try one?" Thornton watched Peeves, well, be Peeves, thankful for the older boy's shield. He smiled at the offered card. A Dumbledore card would be excellent.
"Thanks," he said softly, taking the card and slipping it into his pocket.
Thornton's eyes grew big when the boy reached for the Bott's, but he managed to compose himself before the boy turned back to him. It was only polite to accept the offer.
"Yes, thank you." Thornton reached into the box and pulled out a bean, hoping against hope that it was going to be a nice flavor. Chewing hesitantly, Thornton breathed a sigh of a relief that it was apple flavored.
Swallowing, he looked to the older boy.
"Is there a way to tell which ones not to eat? I hear some are really gross."
