Maybe he had gone a little overboard.
That was the only thought that went through his mind as he approached the front counter, beaming despite himself. The basket was full. Not only had he grabbed literally one of everything he didn't know, but he also grabbed some things he was familiar with.
That's how his basket ended up filled with Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, Chocolate Frogs, Licorice Wands, Pumpkin Fizzes, Peppermint Humbugs, Fizzing Whizbees, Pumpkin Pasties, Ice Mice, Sugar Quills, Lemondrops, Jumping Gummy Bears, Invisible Gum, a pound of toffee, a pound of dark chocolate and a pound of chocolate dragon fudge.
Beaming at the lady behind the counter he placed the basket up to the counter. Though, while he was here he could get a few questions answered... so he started out by pointing at the 'every flavour beans' "So are these actually every flavour? What are the worst flavour you can get? Why do the frogs move? And the gummy bears too... do they stop moving after I take a bite? And does the invisible gum come in different flavours? Ooooh and why is this one called chocolate dragon fudge?"
He was not sorry for all the questions. But these were truly important to understanding the new world he lived in.
