Jason walked into the candy shop. " Nikki, long time no see" Jason said to her. " How are you?" Jason asked Nikki. " I can't decide on what candy to buy" Jason said to Nikki. " Have any ideas?" Jason asked her.

Emily entered the sweet shop and began to salivate, her big blue ees reflected the colors of all the shining candias covering the walls and counters. Walking around she saw many wizard candias she had never tried, her mom prefered her eating muggle candy at home because the neighbour children always stopped by, she loved her friends so emily never minded not having wizard candy. Though every year on her birthday she would get a chocolate frog, and her wizard cousins would send her their doubles of wizard cards because they knew she was only allowed one chocolate frog a year. So as she walked around she picked up a bakers dozen chocolate frogs, three packs of bertie botts every flavor beans and seven sugar quills.

She balanced her load in one arm and dug around in her satchel tied at her waist and counted out the money, " one galleon, two galleons, three galleons, 4 galleons, and six galleons" she said, if she was right that their were 17 sickles to a galleon and her candy came to 102 sickles, then she must owe 6 galleons. she placed the money on the counter and skipped out of the store.

"Oh, hey Jason." Nikki said smiling at Jason. "How about Sugar Quills, there my favorite." She said, taking one out of the box that she had just bought.

One, two, three, four...four. LouAnn had one more picture to take for Muggle Studies class, then she'd be all done. Camera in hand, LouAnn pushed open the door to Honeyduke's, searching for anyone and everyone to take a picture of. Up ahead, she heard Jason talking to some Slytherin girl she had yet to meet. What had he called her? Nikki, she thought she heard.

"Hey, Nikki! Pose!" she called out. She raised the camera to her eyes, centered Nikki, then snapped the photo. "Sorry, had to do that for Muggle Studies!" She laughed lightly, then stuffed the camera back into her pockets. "Thanks for being a good sport! See you two later!" With a little wave to both Nikki and Jason, LouAnn turned and left the shop.

Nikki blinked as someone told her to pose, and then well, she posed! Duh ! She caught a glance at the picture and smiled, she looked so good, better than usual. "No problem LouAnn." She said holding up her own camera. "I've been taking pictures too."

Sugar Quills sound good" Jason told Nikki. " I may have to buy a bag of them" Jason said to Nikki. " Looks like LouAnn took a picture of the beauty but not the beast" Jason laughed.

" Nice picture, you missed the beast, not the beauty" Jason told LouAnn laughing. " I will get you later during finals about pictures" Jason said to Louann laughing. " Bye, see you later" Jason waved to LouAnn.

"Come on Jason, your not ugly." Nikki said walking over to a jar full of lemon drops. "But I am better looking." She added, playfully smiling. "So what are you doing here at Hogsmeade?"

"Come on, Torin!"

Reese dashed down the streets of Hogsmeade, hoping that her buddy was right behind her. She skipped all the way down to Honeydukes until she stopped, but right when she stopped, her feet slid on the ice beneath her. Eeep! Her body slid foward, but she clinged onto the door handle of Honeydukes, which stopped her from completely falling face down onto the snow. "That was a close one," she whispered to herself.

She stood up straight, then opened the door to Honeydukes and stepped inside. The first thing her cold body felt was the warmth inside the room. Oh, the WARMTH! Yes, she loved the snow, but she didn't like staying out in the coldness for a long time. And, do you KNOW how long it takes to walk from Hogwarts down here? It takes a while. Taking her hat off, she stuffed it inside her coat pocket, then she waited for Torin's slow arrival to the store. Geez, that Hufflepuff was slow. Did he fall or something in the snow on the way up here?

" I love coming to HogsMeade when all the students are just hanging out and they have no cares in the world" Jason told Nikki. " Yes, you are better looking but I think I got a lot of the boys beat" Jason said to Nikki. Jason is not bragging because a lot of girls like his looks."What did you think about the Muggle Studies homework" Jason asked Nikki.

Torin was slipping and sliding on the street trying to make it to Honeydukes in one piece. He was seriously reconsidering his idea to head down here. He should have thought of the crappy weather when he asked Reese if she wanted to come here. But it was her fault for making him hungry!

BANG!

He finally reached the shoppe... or more like slipped on ice and hit it with his body. "OUCH!" he cried out as he held onto the door handle with one hand and rubbed his head with his other. Well, that had been embarrassing.

When he was sure that his head was okay, he opened the door and entered. He headed over to Reese.

Reese looked down at her wrist, trying to pretend like she was looking at a watch. Tick tock, Torin... Her eyes shot back towards the door, but seconds passed and nothing entered through that door. Not even the VERY tall Hufflepuff that was suppose to be with her right now. Slowly, she began to tap her foot against the ground. Where was that boy?! A few more seconds passed and the door finally opened...

"There you are," she exclaimed right when she saw Torin. "What took you so long?" She brushed some of the snow off the front of his jacket, then looked up at him. "You are so slow, Torin Kane. So slow," she added. "Now, let's go find some candy." Even though this place was full of different types of candy, there was only one thing that Reese typically meant when she mentions candy. That was chocolate frogs. Yummy chocolate frogs!

Okay, she didn't see him crash into the shoppe. That was a good thing. A very good thing. Now he wouldn't have to deal with her laughing at him on top of the impatience. 'cause honestly it wasn't like he had taken forever to get there.

"I'm not used to the ice yet. Remember I come from Greece. It's only my second year in this country." Though he loved snow. He was considering stuffing some more down her jacket when they left.

Iris walked into Honeydukes with Fallon, the smell of liquified sugar and toffee thick in the air. Eugh... that smell alone is enough to make you put on weight! She looked at all of the home made toffees and looked to Fallon, grinning. Aarons obviously not been in yet. Shelves are still too full. Iris smiled and walked over to some of the sweets, wondering which ones Her Mum, Robert and Aaron would like.

Evan was still undecided which shop to check when he finally spotted the candy shop. He loved candies! He quickly made his way to it and entered, smelling the awesome scent deeply. This was amazing! He quickly looked around the shop to choose which candy to buy when he spotted that familiar blond hair with the most beautiful brown one: Beaumont and Fallon. And he heard stupid blond's comment about her crazy boyfriend, which made him uneasy. So the nuts would come too? Like Evan would care. Surely he wouldn't mess with Evan here too, no?

He glanced at them, unsure to say hi to Beaumont. He then decided to greet nevertheless, she wasn't the one to hex him. He walked up to them, feeling the urge to show off with Fallon. He quickly kissed her on the cheek from the back, and then said "Hi." to both of them with a sweet smile. He wished he could give his first kiss at somewhere more romantic, and he promised himself he'd make it up. He blushed a bit, but outside was cold after all... and blond people blushed easily so... yeah, no embarassment at all.

Iris turned around as she heard someone walk up to them. She looked at that person just as they chose to kiss Fallon on the cheek. Ew. gross!!! a smooching scouser. Thats just what I need. As he said hi, raised an eyebrow humourously at him, "Yeah ... Hi ... what ever... Fallon, I'm gonna go and see if theres any cauldron cakes in here..." Well that was a lame lie. She tried not to grin at Fallon. She just got kissed! Yeah... even if it was Cartwright... but still... Fallon likes him... and is going out with him... so Iris could spend half an hour on her own, right? She laughed quietly as she walked away, Evan went bright red! haha! He was embarrassed of kissing Fallon in front of Iris! As she walked further into the shop, she was actually beginning to hope that there actually was some cauldron cakes round here.

"Sure, you think that." Nikki said chuckling. True Jason looked good, but there were a couple other boys who looked good too, hehe. "I thinks its easy, I got all my five pictures done already. One here, one in the owlery, one in the library, one of the Whomping Willow, and one in the pumpkin patch." She said.

Fallon walked into Honeyduke's with Iris. She started to laugh at Iris's comment about Aaron. Before she could say anything to Iris, she felt someone kissing her on the cheek. Of course it was Evan. She tried her hardest not to blush, it didn't work very well though.

"Hey Evan," She was going to say something to Iris, but then Iris walked away to go look for Cauldron cakes. "Oh, okay Iris." Fallon turned back towards Evan. "So what brings you here?"

Evan wondered if he had gone too far by kissing Fallon when Beaumont raised her eyebrow. She had no right though, he hadn't forgotten the torture he had gone through on the Diagon Alley when she had stared at him, and then denied it. Hmpf. Definately. And now, just because she and Anderson had--most likely--broken up didn't mean that she could say anything to him. No wai.

He was glad that she left though, at least she wasn't inconsidered as her boyfriend. He turned to Fallon as she asked something, and felt relieved that he could talk to her without worrying of embarassing himself. Much.
Oh, it was another relief to see Fallon blush too. He wasn't alone on this blushing path.

The blondie smiled at her greeting, and said "For candies..?" unsurely. What else could he be here for? He was obviously not stalking Fallon.

Fallon mentally slapped herself in the forehead. Duh! "Same here. Except I came here looking for Christmas presents for everyone. Candy just being the start." She said grinning.

Evan looked lost on her answer. Christmas presents... for eveyone? What? His usually perfect brain was still slow today, still in the shock of that kiss. Then he comprehended, and felt so ashamed that he couldn't have thought of such kindness. Bad Evan! In an attemp to make up for his silliness, he quickly said "Yeah er... since you are here... what candy do you like the most?"

Iris walked through the aisles of sweets, occasionally grinning at some of the sweets if they looked like something one of her friends would like. She stopped when she got to the wierd flavours bit and grinned. Would it be worth getting them? Cartwright would prbably still just chuck them out. Ah well. Me giving him a gift on Christmas will shock him well enough. She picked some of the grossest looking ones out and put them into a small paper bag, before carrying on to the homemade candies, which reminded her of Aaron for some reason.

Lyra entered the candy shop to obviously buy some candy. Her pockets were almost empty so she needed to fill them. Opening the door of the Honeydukes shop, Lyra walked in and looked around. She immediately heard Evan's voice and smiled to herself, she looked around scanning the shop with her eyes to find him but noticed he was with Fallon and her smile faded away. 'What are you doing? just ignore her and say hi..he is still you friend!' her mind spoke up and Lyra nodded at it. Lyra walked up to the two and noticed that Iris was there too. So she wasn't interrupting a "date" although she would have loved to do that , muwhahaha....

"Hey Evan" she said when she was close by them and looked at Fallon but didn't say anything to her. In her mind, she still wondered why his "so called girlfriend" hadn't even bothered to help him in class. hmpf. Ah who cares...If Evan wanted to be blind, so be it.

Fallon thought about it for a moment. "I like chocolate frogs and licorice wands. I just can't choose between the two. What's your favorite?"

Right after Fallon asked him that, Lyra came up and said hi to Evan, completly ignoring her. She didn't say anything to Lyra either, and just waited for Evan to answer her question.

Nikki was walking down the main street, on her way back to the castle. She still had four more pictures to take for Muggle Studies, and was a tad worried she wouldn;t get them all done in time. On her way past Honeydukes, however, she saw a girl running her direction. Nikki tilted her head a bit, to watch her discreetly, and managed to snap the girl's shocked expression when she almost fell with the disposable camera she had. What luck! The first year smiled a bit, and continued on to the castle. Only three more photos to go!!

" I am glad you liked Muggle Studies" Jason said to Nikki." I really do not think I look yhat good" Jason told Nikki. " I think I am lucky to have a girlfriend" Jason told her. " What is your reason for coming to HogsMeade?" Jason asked Nikki.
