Located on the south end of the street is the lovely and magnificent sweetshop of Diagon Alley. The outside of the sweetshop is a nice shade of light pink but once you enter, no more pink is in sight. The walls are colored white, but the chances of you noticing the color of the walls are low since most people are mesmerized by the amount of candy on the shelves. The candies range from chocolate frogs to licorice wands! As soon as you finish shopping around for your candy, visit the counter to purchase your candy. Before leaving, you might want to try out one of the gumball machines located near the exit.
The links below will help you find your way around the shop:
The Candy Displays Just beyond the door to the lovely candy shop in Diagon Alley lays shelves among shelves of different types of wizarding candy imaginable. Everything is labeled, so it shouldn't be too hard to find what you're looking for. There comes a time when someone picks up way too much candy than they can carry. No worries! A stack of baskets have been placed near the last shelf on the right, and anybody is welcome to use them if they need something to put their candy in.
The Storeroom The storeroom is located in the back of the shop, and the door is ALWAYS closed, but it's never locked unless the store is closed. Employees are more than welcome to enter the storeroom. Non-employees should have NO business being back here unless they have permission from the shopkeeper. The cabinets that store the candy are unlocked most of the time; there are some cabinets located randomly in the room that are locked because they hold some candy that hasn't even been introduced to the public yet. If you were not invited but decided to check this room out anyways due to curiosity, you'll be in trouble.
The Counter Once you've finished your shopping, you need to escort yourself to the check out counter located on the right side of the store. The shopkeeper can usually be found sitting on the wooden stool just behind the counter, but, if she isn't there at the moment, you are more than welcome to ring the green bell and just wait for her to show up. Also located on the counter is a scale to weigh your candy if needed. Do NOT mess with the scale because if you break it, you're in big trouble!
The Gumball Machines There are four gumball machines near the exit to the sweet shop. They have been charmed to accept wizarding money instead of muggle money. If you have any knuts in your pocket that you are just dying to get rid of, why not buy a few gumballs with them? All you have to do is place the two knuts inside the little slot, turn the knob, and watch as the gumball travels down the maze and to the little compartment at the bottom where you may receive your gumball.
Want to go back to the South End of the Street? Bye bye! Thanks for visiting and come again!

Name: Xavier P. Baltazar Date of Birth: December 09, 2038 Age: 41 Years attended Hogwarts: Seven Hogwarts House: Slytherin Current Occupation: Sugarplums Sweet Shop Owner Previous Occupation(s): University student, Professional Quidditch for the Falmouth Falcons, 1/4 owner of Jones' Cosmetic & Health Potion Industries. Marital Status: Happily Married
Appearance:
Eye Color: Green Hair: Black, curly Height: 6'1''
Family:
Father: Orion Baltazar (diseased) Mother: Morgana Jones Siblings: Hector McCoy, Phabian Wayne
Xavier is of a kind nature. He was born and raised in a strict Pure-blood home, but holds no judgment to blood status. He is amiable an enjoys talking to people even if they are strangers. But at the very bottom of his breathtaking smile, charms and calm exterior there is a dormant snake that shall not be disturbed. Xavier is known as a kind person, but in the end he is still a Slytherin, thus having all the qualities of one.
History:
Xavier Baltazar is the third child of Morgana Jones, a pure-blood witch from Scotland who married three times, having a child from each marriage. He has two older brothers: Hector McCoy and Phabian Wayne. Xavier grew up as the favorite child, quiet rumors in the family indicate Morgana had truly loved his father, whom like her past husbands, died in mysterious circumstances.
At elven years old, Xavier was sorted into the house of Slytherin. It was to be expected since his entire line of family has been in Salazar's house. He shared his house along with his older brothers that at Hogwarts called themselves the Jones Brothers, adopting their mother's last name. Eventually, the Jones split up in Baltazar's fifth year, all taking up different interests, his older brothers focusing in the Dark Arts, whereas his pursuit was anything muggle related. By the time he graduated Xavier and his brothers rarely spoke, only visiting each other at there mother's request or holidays.
Xavier married at the age of eighteen upon discovering his girlfriend, Ursulla Fiori, was with child. Yvonne Baltazar, his first born daughter was born the same day he was invited to play with the Falmouth Falcons. In the following years he became a professional Quidditch player while his family grew with the addition of Yvette and Yvanna.
Four years later, his wife and him learned that they were once again expecting. They were told the baby was going to be a boy. This overjoyed everyone on Ursulla's side of the family because all her mother's grandchildren were girls. After the long wait the fourth Baltazar child had arrived only that it was a girl. Xavier was more than ecstatic with the child, especially because she had a top of red hair like his father, or so he was told. Ursulla on the other hand fell into a depression, disappointed she couldn't give her husband a son. This caused a rift in his marriage.
Ursulla and him grew apart as she didn't want anything to do with Peyton, which Xavier had given his middle name to. Ursulla's rejection to Peyton influenced their daughters Yvonne, Yvette, and Yvanna to grow distant from their youngest sister. Things went from bad to worse until they both settled for a divorce. Ursulla went to live to France along with her three oldest daughters while Xavier traveled around with his Quidditch team and Peyton.
Five years later while at one of his games he got into a collision and accidentally crashed with a spectator. Two months later they were dating and after two years they married. He gave up Quidditch to spend more time with his family and joined United States Ministry of Magic. His new wife, Mariska, had a son, Johnathan Walker Jr. and he seemed to get along well with his daughter. But after four short years Mariska's first husband, who had been presumed dead during combat, returned. This terminated their marriage with a divorce.
It turns out Peyton had been the most affected by the divorce and so Ursulla came to her daughter's rescue, although she was rejected. A year later, with Xavier's help, Peyton accepted Ursulla.
Xavier and Ursulla remarried a year after.
Ursulla was once again with child, and the fifth time had been the charm as she blessed Xavier with their first son, Cornelius Orion Baltazar.
Xavier has recently retired from the family business and is looking toward a sweet time at the new shop he just bought, Sugarplums Sweet Shop.

Was born to be a Hufflepuff, the sorting hat once said when placed onto his head when he was eleven. And was the hat ever wrong? Caring and nice, Silas was and still is. Yet, his sisters who were Gryffindors must have influenced him. So his personality is an interesting combination. Despite the niceness and the humor, he is hardworking and smart. Humble but confident enough to know his potential and what it might get. He likes children and knows how to have fun. But when it's business and working time, he doesn't fool around but stay focused.
Made since
Silas was raised in a family consisting of two parents and two sisters. One being older than him by a year and the other younger than him. He went to Hogwarts and graduated from there in the House of Hufflepuff where he met and made lots of friends and acquaintances. Upon graduation he attempted to continue his education but he found himself in business branch and there he headed and got involved. Throughout his life, he traveled around chasing after chances and wanting to participate in any opportunity that presented itself to him. Not all were successful but he gained experience from all and without them all he wouldn't have matured and became the person that he is.
After getting married he settled in Scotland. That until he made enough money to start a new business and move back to England with his wife and two kids.

personality
She is daring and won't keep her thoughts to herself. She may struck people as 'cold', but she is doing that to protect herself. She won't be your friend at first sight, but you will earn a lot of points in her eyes if you make her laugh. She loves to laugh.
history
The surname 'Eboué' might sound like French, and it is: the family migrated from Ivory Coast in 1953, and managed to keep their surname somehow. None of the Eboués speak French, and they consider themselves as British, but they are also proud of the surname.
And Angelina grew up with the 'legend's of Eboué too. She had had to listen just how amazing her ancestors were at magic, and she was pressured to reach the same magic level. Her magic developed normally, and her family was content: she was accepted to the school of fashion and she was hoping to create her own clothes after graduation. She had finished her third grade until that dreadful moment: Jack Fitch (her boyfriend for the last four years) asked her to marry him. It hadn't been dreadful for her then though, and she accepted to marry without second thoughts. After many arguments, she was cast off from her family and married to Jack with immediate effect.
Happiness lasted for 6 months, marriage for 3. She had understood that she really had been too young to marry, and despite Jack's promises, she divorced him. She is contaminated with that Gryffindor pride however, so instead of returning home, she decided to 'stand on her own feet' and found a job working as a shopkeeper’s assistant for Madam Malkins Robes for All Occasions. From here she started the slow road back to having her life in order.
However things are looking up. She has met, dated and is engaged to one Simon Bennett, a former auror, now security officer at the Ministry of Magic. The couple are quite happy together, the man having healed her troubled heart along the way. And after several hardworking and tireless years as an assistant to Aliceara Ravenswood, she thought life couldn't get any better when she heard of the selling of this shop at a very suitable price. With the little money she had saved at the Malkin's and with the help of her new fiancé, she bought here and is looking forward to the challenge of managing her own shop. Of course she still designs clothes, including that for her own wedding, in her spare time, all the while awaiting the moment to do what she really loves full time.

MY WORK ETHIC
Current Occupation: Owner of Sugarplums Previous Occupation(s): Co-owner of Dreadellez
MY PERSONAL APPEARANCE
Eye Color:Green Hair:Sandy Brown Height: 4ft 2 inches (the inches are important)
MISC ME
Marital Status: Single Friends: Ha! Personality: Hastings hasn't had the best life possible. His brother is a renowned healer in Scotland. People praise his name. Good-looking, handsome, successful. Hastings is... different. he was the son his parents (now elderly) never expected. They were already 40 by the time they discovered she was pregnant. He has a grudge against the world about it. He wears a rather grimace on most days, but you might be able to find him with a smile if a certain someone happened to be crossing the street of Diagon Alley. Despite his attitude though, he has a bit of unnatural ability to sell and be successful with businesses.
History: Hastings grew up in the shadow of his older brother... literally. His brother fully grown, is 6ft 1 inches tall. Finley, on his best day, stands 4ft 2 inches tall. He grew up knowing that he was an expected child. His parents, bless them, were already half over with their lives when he was born. They didn't have the energy they did to take care of him like they had Marcel. Hastings was mediocre in schooling. He has a brilliant mind but doesn't have the passion to fuel it. Once he graduated Hogwarts, he got jobs here and there and ended up co-owning a shop called Dreadellez. He was quite successful in there but when his parents health started taking a turn, he needed to move closer to home to help care for them. (His brother being a renowned healer couldn't afford to take the time.) He sold his half of the Dreadellez in order to pay for Sugarplums.
