Stepping into Honeydukes may have been the first moment all term that Cooper felt any true pull of nostalgia since the term began. Yes, there had been certain pulls in seeing his youngest siblings go through their Sortings, but there had also been a certain disassociation since he had not been a first year during his own as a fourth year. Fourth year and, so he liked to think, already had a good sense of self and where he thought (read: yearned) to be placed. Ravenclaw, like dad. And he had...and now he was in his final months as a student of Hogwarts...
But what REALLY got him in the moment was pulling a box of chocolate frogs off the shelf and turning it over in his hand. He remembered his first trip to Honeydukes and how much bigger these boxes had been in his hand then...how...reasonable it felt in it now. He could also remember Celyn wanting to 'free' all the chocolate frogs and he had just gone along with it despite it being a bit of an irrational desire. He would be purchasing a few of these today, absolutely.
Shuffling back down the aisle to grab a basket, Cooper resumed his observation of the chocolate frog display and began making some haphazard selections. He no longer collected the cards and had given his collection away to some under classmen who were part of the club at Hogwarts and far more passionate than himself, but there was still that naïve wonder and excitement of maybe juuuuuuust maybe there would be a rare one inside.
