"Well..." Violet paused a bit, thinking. She had really already decided on this stationery set for Jane, but...Caes was offering to help her (!) and she didn't want to say no... "If you can think of something a very calm, cool, and collected Ravenclaw would like. She's very nice, and caring when you get to know her, but still, she's pretty no-nonsense and...cerebral. If you know what I mean..." Violet trailed off lamely, struggling to describe the complicated person her former governess was. "I thought this set might be nice."

"Yes, it's the largest all-wizarding village in Britain, or so they say." (Hogsmeade, that is). "Did you have a village or anything near Russian wizarding school Koldovstoretz, then?" And--oh. He wanted her to show him around! This was...rather exciting. Violet now bitterly regretted being an eccentric nerd who didn't really know where the popular places were. But...she couldn't let this opportunity slip, so she had to suggest something. She thought about this with her audience in mind--what would Caes be interested in? Violet realized she still didn't know him all that well, because she was not sure. Well, definitely not the Salon, Gladrags, or Madame Puddifoot's (which was easy, because Violet didn't go to those places herself much). Caes seemed rather adventurous (if the story about flying on a tree was really true, and she had no reason to think it wasn't). And food--boys usually like to eat, Violet had observed...

"Of course, I'd love to show you around. Well, there's Zonko's Joke Shop, if you're into that sort of thing (which Violet was not, but a lot of the boys seemed to like it a lot). Or Honeydukes, if you like candy (which Violet did--she wasn't that much of a bookworm). Dervish and Banges is really interesting--they sell and repair magical equipment and stuff. Muggle things, too. You never know what they'll have there. And later if you're hungry, there's the Three Boomsticks--that's an inn and probably the most popular spot, although I myself like the Hog's Head. It's the other pub, it's kind of dodgy looking so a lot of people are afraid to go in there, but they have the very best food, and I kind of like it--it's different, you know?" Violet caught her breath, suddenly aware that she was rattling on and starting to smile much to much (beaming, one might call it even). But then she remembered something she thought Caes might be intrigued by. "Well, and then there's the Shrieking Shack--it's up the hill near the Broomsticks. You can't go in, it's fenced and boarded up, but you can look at it. It's supposed to be the most haunted house in Britain." Also a nice, private place for a date...(Wait! Did she just say date? Was this a date? Violet was still not sure.)
