Gaston hastily undid his scarf as he walked into the candy shop. Since the incident with the moving staircase, he'd developed an aversion to neckwear, but it was far too cold to go without a scarf. Well that, and it helped hide his injuries. While it was extremely unlikely that any homicidal poltergeists would try to strangle him with his own scarf (again!) here in Hogsmeade, but he still wasn't taking any chances and quickly stuffed the scarf into his pocket.
The shop was already a lot more crowded than he thought it'd be! He saw several of his students milling about and paused to smile or nod politely at each one as he passed, but he didn't stop to chat. After all, they probably came here to get away from the professors, not to strike up a conversation with them!
As a matter of fact, it was because of the students that Gaston was here. All the candy he'd bought before the start of the term was dwindling fast, and the candy won over the students in a way his personality never could! He perused the displays toward the back of the shop. Chocoballs, coconut ice, cherry center truffles... so many options! But which should he buy? He looked around the shop, secretly hoping a friendly student would come along and help him decide.
