High Street is the main street of Hogsmeade, from which you can access all its most famous shops. This particular street connects to several narrow streets and alleyways due to how the shops are laid out. Some of these passages will take you to other shops and even the residential area of the village. Stay on this path until the very end, past Dervish and Banges, and you will find yourself coming to a stop at a stile that faces the mountain beyond.
It is not common for those who are people-watching in the benches next to the street lamps to see large numbers of students and adults ambling up and down the pavement and peering into shop windows. After all, this is the most popular place you can meet up with your friends before heading over to the Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer, entering Zonko's with a mischievous grin, or entering Honeydukes with your mouth already watering.

Another thing that made this particularly exciting was that she got to explore it with her best friend for the first time, too. Even though Cecelia had been in magical school for longer than Catherine, Hogwarts hadn't been the blonde's home for her first year, so obviously she hadn't visited Hogsmeade either.
Catherine felt a little like what she did when they were much younger and were experiencing things together. It was a very nice feeling and she would make sure to enjoy every second of it. She was even happy to let her best friend choose where she wanted to go first and would not object or roll her eyes or make any faces.
Lots of display windows were beckoning her to get closer, so that was another reason why she was happy to let Cecelia decide where to go first. There were way too many options.
"This place is SO cool!" Cecelia, as always, was filled with excitement and eagerness to explore all the shops, many of which her own parents had frequented when they were kids. It made her feel connected to them and it felt nice, knowing she'd get to enjoy the same things that they had. The fact that Catherine was with her was a bonus, 'specially 'cause her friend actually seemed excited too! Well, as excited as Catherines got. She linked her arm with the Ravenclaw's and offered her a BIG smile. This was going to be EPIC.
"I vote Honeydukes first. They have ALL the best sweets and mum sent some money, so I'm going to stock up. Bet they have sweets we haven't even HEARD of!" Maybe they could even meet up with Noah and do a bit of a taste test! They could pick their favorites so they'd know for next time. It was already a plan in her mind, so it was happening, she'd decided.

Catherine had to agree. Hogsmeade was truly very cool and there were so many different things to look at, it was almost a bit overwhelming. "It must be nice to live here." She said to her blonde friend, thinking how different it would be to live in a Wizarding village instead of a Muggle one. They wouldn't need to hide their abilities ever. Sounded like the kind of life she'd be happy to have in the future. "Do you think any of our professors has a home here?"
It was very likely Honeydukes would be Cecelia's first vote, Catherine saw it coming. "Do you think they have more than Sugarplum's?" She asked as they shifted directions slightly and started heading towards the sweets shop.

"Yeah, I'm sure. It's really cute here." Like a village in a painting or something. She looked around, taking it all in as she considered Catherine's question. "Dunno? Maybe. It'd be REALLY convenient if they did 'cause then they could walk over to visit their family any time they wanted." She wished her family lived closer. She was missing them and hoping they missed her JUST as much.
Hmmm...that was an excellent question and Cecelia tapped her chin, thinking it over. "Bet it has JUST as much. Maybe it even has sweets we haven't tried yet, like locally made ones that only get sold here 'cause they like to support local sweet makers or something." That seemed legit, right? Cecelia thought so. She smiled, tugging her friend on. "In any case, there's only ONE way to find out, and that's to get inside and get shopping!"
