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.

Cynthia, who was usually holed up in her library, decided to go on a walk today. She assumed most of the students were down in the village, and therefore, she could take just a quick little break herself.

She wandered first into the candy shop. She really wanted to pick up some sugar quills. Sucking on the end of one while writing was a habit she picked up in school that she never really grew out of.

"Gaston." she greeted as she passed. She, of course, had heard all about certain events. "How are you?" She asked politely. She assumed that the Professor wouldn't go into details, especially here in the middle of a candy shop. It was still courteous to ask. She even did her best not to glance and see if there was any visible damage.
