Katie walked into the shop in delight, she liked it here, she could stay here for days.

hehe.

Travis smiled, "If I wasn't me would you still love me," he said teasingly, he looked at her and smirk, "are you blushing my darling, lovely, Amber."He gave her a small kiss on the cheek, he knew that would make her blush and he also knew she would be really mad at him, but he just couldn't help himself....again. "Purple tastes like grape, blue tastes like blueberry, red tastes like cherry, pink tastes like strawberry, and those are the only flavors I have tasted," he said, looking at some of the different chocolates, he had a very good idea on what to get Amber.

Jack had surprised himself that he hadn't been in this place before, considering it was filled to the brim with sweets, candy, chocolate and what have you, which was like heaven for young Jack. So, with at least 2 boxes of sweets stacked in front of him, Jack only noticed the top of Cosette's head. Though, he could only see blonde, and he knew that there were many blonde girls in Hogwarts, but he went with his gut feeling anyway, and said "Cosette?" Over the the boxes, hoping she heard and his voice wasn't muffled by the mountain of sweets.

He was planning on changing his reputation from hyper sweet eater to something more suave, but the boxes really didn't help.

"I actually had no idea...My father is a wizard, but my mother is non-magical," she smiled. She still hated the word "half" after being bullied and tortured all her life growing up in Japan for being half-Japanese and half-British. While she was sure the bubbly green-eyed Grace would think nothing of it, perhaps be curious as to why somone with one magical parent could not know they were 'special,' she was still very nervous about talking about it. "My best friend is a Muggleborn though," she smiled. She picked up one of the boxes of chocolate that the girl had been holding before they started talking. "This does look delicious, would you like to share a box?"

Amber put a finger to her chin in thought. "Hmm..... maybe." She giggled, now picking up a chocolate beetle that walked around on her hand. Tee hee, that tickled! "Yes, I am. And it's all your fault." She smiled as she felt the now familiar heat appear on her cheeks. She couldn't help it, it was just in her genes or something weird like that. "Yeah, I kind of guessed that on my own. But why put grape and green apple together? Why not put green apple and caramel together like that muggle treat that's awful for your teeth?" Cue GIGGLE!snort. Hmm... she'd have to distract Travis with something else later so she could buy his gift. His 'special' gift.

After sliding off the plastic that covered the candy lollipop, Cosette plopped the candy into her mouth. Rolling the hard substance around on her tongue, she could feel the stick and strange flavour she loved fill her mouth. She had always wondered if it was real blood or some sort of sugary counterpart, but either way, she liked how it made her mouth red. She felt like she really was drinking blood. Strange.

Hearing her name, she turned around slowly to meet eye to eye with a tower of candy boxes. Was she loosing it? Had the candy tower just said her name. Noticing a tuff of brown hair behind the box, she looked around the side to see Jack holding the boxes. She should have known. The man with the most sugar loving sweet tooth would be at a candy show. "Bonjour monsieur Riding." She nodded her head to him, trying to talk around her lollipop.

Pulling it out of her mouth, she swallowed the substance. Rolling her tongue around her mouth, she tried to make sure no red dye or blood, whatever it was, wasn't on her teeth as she talked. "How 'ave you been? I 'aven't seen you around." True, she had been busy studying and he must have been with her girlfriend.

Jermaine never did understand why everyone thiought eating candy was so great. He himself could do without the stuff. However it seemed to make Rhea happy so he was willing to try it... for her. He took the licorice wand from her and bit into it.

O_____O

WHOA! Green apple, that thing was sour. Instantly his eyes squinted shut and his lips puckered up as the sour taste hit his tongue, This was not heaven, this was torture. Did Rhea really like this stuff or did she just want to see him make a funny face? Luckily her back was to him when he made that face. "Zis iz..." not what he expected. "...zour. I zought candy waz suppozed to be sweet?" He quickly swallowed that bite and tried to make his face look normal again before she seen him looking all goofy.

Holding what was left of that piece of candy in his hand he still was not convinced that candy was such a great thing. Nope, he still had not tried the right one.

"Well why wouldn't I be sweet to you? You are a loevly, beautiful girl." 'When you're not giving me sour candy.' He said as he followwed her down the aisle while she continued to pick out different candies. After that first one she gave him he could not promise that he would try anymore. She would have to convince him that there was better candy than this one and that would be no easy task.

"Well you will 'ave to intorduce me to her someday." He said when she told him about her cousin. He needed to make some more friends here. He really hadn't gotten to know many of the Hogwarts students and the term was half over.

The boxes weren't excessively heavy, but Jack wasn't prepared to stand there and chat whilst he carried the tower. For starters, it was rather rude, talking to someone when you couldn't really see them, and also, holding the boxes for a longer time than expected could result in some minor back injuries, and Jack didn't really want that. Nobody wanted a bad back. Setting the boxes down in front of him, bending his knees, like he'd learnt when he was younger (to NEVER bend your back, always bend your knees) and straightened his posture again.

To be honest, he wasn't even ashamed of the boxes of sweets, more proud than anything else. Proud that he actually had enough money for it all, that and his sweet tooth couldn't not let him buy all of this just because it may be embarrassing. Pfft.

Ah. He'd missed the French. "I .. uhh, I know. Been busy I guess." With adoptive parents and long lost twins. Yeah, you could say that was 'busy'. Jack felt kinda strange that he wasn't flirting with her. it was as if it had been switched off somehow and freaked him out slightly. She was beautiful, and usually around beautiful girls, Jack couldn't help himself, but every time he thought about doing so, Rhea would pop into his head. Whatever, a little 'darling' and 'love' here and there would be just fine, right? "I've been good thankyou, love." He smiled, stepping towards her a little. "And what about you? I see that you've befriended that .. french ... Noel ... guy." Actually, Jack knew EXACTLY who he was, but only because Savannah had told him something quicte worrying that he hadn't really discussed with Rhea yet. All in good time.

Kale walked into the shop with Lani. He was having such a great day there was nothing that could bring his spirts down. He held the door open for her and marched in after her. This shop was always crowed now matter what. But that's okay, it ment that him and Lani would just have to be close to each other in the over stuffed shop. He turned toward her half shouting over the noise. "What's your favorite sweet?" He asked her smiling hoping that he could buy it for her. That's what boyfriends did right?

He looked around the shop to see if he recognized anyone in here.

Cosette watched as he bent down to put the boxes on the floor, no doubt that they could talk more normally than just her talking to a tower of talking boxes. Now that would definitely raise some questions to one by passerbys. She didn't need a new reputation as the crazy girl from when she used to be the lethal girl. Non, not something she needed.

Twirling the blood pop in her mouth, her eyes looking like an uncanny cat luring in on its prey, she smiled before moving so she could lean an arm on one of the shelves. Crossing her booted feet at her ankles, she cocked her head to the side. Still her trademark stance.

"Zo, 'ow iz ze girlfriend?" She still hadn't met the girl, now seen what she looked like. Jack must be keeping her far away from her. She would like to meet her at least. "What 'ave you been up to, amour?" She twirled the lollipop in her fingers, letting it dance on it's stick. Her whole mouth was turning a deep crimson red, almost giving off the appearance like she had just turned vampire and drunk someone's blood. Still, not a reputation she wanted.

Hearing Noel's name, her eyes slanted at him. So he had heard about that? She couldn't blame him knowing, they were together a few places. Three Broomsticks, the Courtyard, all the Tasks. It was bound to be noticable. "Oui, we 'ave been getting razher cloze, az of late." She couldn't help it. They were drawn together. As much as she hated admitting it, she really did like him.

They did not sell what she wanted here. Oh, upon hearing this answer the boy looked around the shop. There were almost every kind of sweets and chocolate there. It was almost impossible to find something that they did not sell there but on the other hand maybe the Slytherin girl did not mean a kind of sweet or chocolate. ''Umm...what do you want then?'' he asked with a half smile twirling the little red wand in his hand.

He was ready to chase after anything she would like to have and it did not matter if it was inside that shop or not. ''Yes, i am.'' he said looking down at the liquorice wands when she asked if he was ready. He was always ready if she asked! Hehehehe. ''I want nothing else...just stay here'' he said and quickly went to pay for the two wands and once he was back he put his arm around her waist and widely smiled at her, one of the liquorice wands, half of the red one, in his mouth. ''Mmm we are done here''

Travis smiled at her, "oh but you look so pretty when you blush," he said as he saw her cheeks go red, his smile grew even bigger. Travis shrugged, "no idea what they thought of putting green apple and grape together but it sure is delicious," he smiled at her and picked up a lollipop, "Forgot to tell you my dear, I have a wonderful surprise for you," he winked at her teasingly spinning the lollipop round and round in his hand.

Ah; the dreaded question in which he was hoping Cosette wouldn't ask. Not because he had a fine answer, he did. But, given the fact that he'd kissed her in the past and flirted with her quite a but, Jack still found it a little strange that she seemed so relaxed about asking about his love relationship life. "It's going good, yeah." Jack scratched the back of his head a little nervously, wondering if he should ask about hers, just out of politeness. Though he wasn't exactly sure if her and Noel were indeed dating; Cosette was very similar to him in the ol' life of love, so he would be slightly surprised if she was sticking to Noel and not moving on pretty quickly. That's what he tended to do.

What had he been up to? Hmm, he had quite a lot to say. Hehe. The whole twin thing with Fletcher and his history being fictional was something to keep you busy. Was he to tell her? Yes, he'd told one or two strangers and Callie, and he'd never heard of Fletcher telling others, so was it his place to? He hadn't really agreed anything with his brother. "Nothin' much really. Apart from the whole ... girlfriend thing." Jack was getting better at actually saying the word 'girlfriend', to be honest. "And what about you? I've been seeing less of you love, really is a shame..." He smirked, though he wondered if the reason for not seeing her was actually Noel. Darn Frenchie taking away the girl he loved to flirt with so much.

"I've noticed, darling." No, no. He wasn't jealous. There was no need for him to be. He wasn't dating Cosette, he didn't even like her in that way, so who was he to be jealous of someone getting close to somebody else? Yes, he had portrayed feelings of jealousy towards Noel, but that was only because he was taking up Cosette's time, so Jack couldn't see her. That, and the fact that he seemed to be on every girl's mind, every girl Jack knew. GRR!Sulk. "& I must say I'm very happy for you. If that's what you're hoping."

Now that he asked, she didn't know. Not in the mood for peppermint toads, and not in the mood for food in general. Watching the red licorice wand being twirled, she blinked a few times before shrugging her shoulders. "I'm not sure." she said, looking from the wand to him. Aw well, she knew what she needed, but that was completely different then what she wanted.

"Right..." As her favorite Gryffindor went over to pay for the licorice wands, Evelyn stood and waited. Sighing, the Slytherin glanced around and look at all the different candies. Sooo much chocolate. And the smell...it was making her stomach churn. Speaking of favorite Gryffindors, she was beginning to wonder what Patroclus had been up to, and if he was purposely avoid her. Or them for that matter. She had not seen him in quite some time.

As she stared into space, she had no idea she was staring right at her best friend who apparently was trying to hide, and who would have totally been in trouble if Evelyn actually knew who she was staring at. Blinking a few times when Josh came back, she smiled and placed her arm around his back. "I remember though, that I do need to get some parchment and things for school. We could go to that quill shop? Or we could catch up somewhere else later."

She doubted he'd want to spend time in a shop full of school things. Heck, SHE didn't want to go spend time in a shop that reminded her of school. Bleh.

"Dangerous? Not the word I would have chosen." James answered innocently. He stepped back at the squeak and endured the accusing look the little Marmoset gave him. He took it like a man.

Or not. He felt very guilty.

"Hey little guy, I'm sorry. I'll save the snogging of pretty girls until you're tucked up somewhere safe, huh?" Or you know... find an alternative. Distract the monkey. Kiss the girl.

"Lets get this stuff then, shall we?" He suggested, "And go someplace else?"

"What word would you have chosen then?" She asked just as innocently but the thoughts running through her head were very far from innocent. The boy brought out another side in her. The only other person who had done that had been Finn but he had a girlfriend now.

Which sucked.

Mia gave Rufus a little pat on the head. "Sorry about that little fella." She looked up at Jimmy and nodded. "Sure. Where would you like to go?" Somewhere private would be nice but she decided to leave that up to James.

Bahaha!

As Lara talked about cupcakes and baking, Destiny couldn't help but think the girl was like a miniature version of herself. She was quite random and she liked cupcakes! Like looking in a mirror..only Lara wasn't wearing the same hat. "We should totally bake in the kitchens! I can try to teach you how to bake something, and then when you go home in the summer, you can kick your mum and house elf out of the kitchens!"

Too bad Destiny didn't have a house elf to kick. Meh.

She wrinkled her nose at the mention of manners. Why were parents all about them? Pffft. If Destiny wanted to place her feet up on the dinner table she would! And she usually did.. "Pffft. Manners. My father tells me to watch my manners all the time." And HOW in the name of Merlin was she supposed to watch something when she didn't even know what they looked liked? "Parents are weird." Plain and simple.

Checking the things in her hands, Destiny nodded in approval. She was done here. If she spent any more time in the shop, she would spend the little bit of money she had, and her parents couldn't give her more. Besides, she was sure if she stayed any longer, Evelyn would finally spot her. Sure her best friend was looking right at her, but Destiny was sure the hat she was wearing was making her unrecognizable. If her hands weren't so full, she would have given her hat a pat.

"It does look cold still." she said, turning to face the shop window. Brrr! Too bad they didn't know a spell that would change the weather. Was there even a spell like that!? Destiny would have to find out. She did have to visit Professor Carlton. Turning away from the window, she once again looked at the things she was buying. "Yeah, I am finished too. Should we go back to the castle?"

You know, to eat this stuff!

Rhea was busy piling candy into her basket as she spoke to Jermaine, she always bought a ridiculous amount of candy whenever she visited honeydukes, not that she could eat it all, but she just liked having them, just in case she was having a crappy day or if she was ran into a little first year who was having one. In any case they came in handy if she needed to bribe her little brother when she got home. He loved honeydukes stuff.

She had seen him make a face through the corner of her eyes and she couldn't help but chuckle to herself. She didn't want to laugh out right just in case that caused him to not want to try anymore. As he began to speak however, she turned around to look at him, an amused smile still lingering on her lips. Jermaine was so funny.

She laughed, she couldn't help it. She had gotten so used to the sweet and sour taste of the green apple flavoured wand, so it didn't cause her cheeks to tighten anymore but Jermaine's expression was priceless." it is?" she truly sounded a bit surprized."its suppose to be sweet but sour" she giggled. She couldn't help it. Yeah Jermaine was fun.

She shrugged at his question. Not everyone was nice to people, regardless of that person being nice or not. It was true though that one person may not even realise that they are indeed being mean to the other person, yeah she had been in that situation twice since the school year started. In anyways Jermaine had been awesome. She was flattered however when he told her she was beautiful. Considering how conflicted she was feeling because of all the crap going on, the compliment was welcomed.
" thank you Jermy, I have to admit you're quite handsome yourself." she winked at him and smiled.

" oh you'll be meeting her very soon and you're really going to love her! She's like one of my closest friends here and she's really sweet, a bit fiery, well a lot fiery, but still sweet." she looked at her basket, it was almost full but she was missing something." see any interesting looking candies? I don't know what else to get" she smiled sheepishly at him.

Aww, he held the door open for her

Leilani entered the crowded shop, linking her arm through Kale's when he did the same. "I'm not sure." she called above the noise. "Chocolate maybe. Anything chocolate."

Droobles was good too. Heh. Carley had a mad obsession with it. Waaaait... Didn't her cousin hand her a pack before she left to get on the train?

She checked through the pocket on her backpack before pulling out an unopened packet of Droobles. She smiled, stuffing it back inside. Oooh, her crazy gum-obsessed cousin.

But no, chocolate was the best.

Lara liked the idea about learning how to bake something, she also liked the idea about kicking her mum and their house elf out of the kitchen.”Yeh I’ll be glad if you teach me something” Lara said “You’ll find that I’m a very good student” she kinda lied , because she wasn’t really a good student but she didn’t wanna scare Destiny.



Muahaha….


“Oh yeh I totally agree with you that parents are weird” she nodded “ I believe that manners aren’t constant thing all people should follow, No I think each one has his own manners that suit his personality!” Once again Lara couldn’t keep her mouth shut!! She knows that she’s bad at talking about such things! It didn’t even make any sense , she was sure that Destiny didn’t know what she was talking about…


Lara tried to prepare herself to the cold out there ,but she couldn’t know how?!!? But it’s leaving time so she took a deep breath and made a step toward the door and replied to Destiny “Yup, I think we should go back there, it’s warmer and I can’t wait for eating those” she pointed at all the things in her hands, with her head, because her hands were busy.
And looks like it’s the end of this joyful visit to this amazing shop, so Lara looked at the shelves as if she was saying goodbye and promising that she’ll come here from time to another .

"Tempting." Jimmy answered with a laugh. He dumped his things on the counter. Was Mia getting anything? He gestured for her to add anything she wanted to his pile. No big deal. He had more money than she did after all, and honestly, he didn't much mind the idea of her owing him favours.

"Someplace quiet. Where there isn't a lot of... foot traffic." James suggested. And maybe somewhere nice too. He honestly didn't mind a bit of sight seeing but wasn't about to point that out.

Messed with all his RAWR, see?

Rufus, placated, chittered gently.

''How do you know it is not in here if you are not sure?'' Josh replied quickly with a cunning smirk. Hehe. And he was about to lecture her more about being indecisive and unsure but he tried hard to stop himself since he did not want to annoy her with his Ravenclaw moment. And hopefully he managed to shut up and, looking into her eyes, smiled instead.

Then he took another bite from the red liquorice wand (it was tasty) as she spoke again offering... eh. He was ready to face anything for her, he could fight anybody or anything for her, but stepping into a shop full of school stuff? It was his Rose though, so he was going to face this too so he nodded in agreement and was about to make his way out the sweet shop when he heard the other option : catching up somewhere else later. Now that sounded good. ''Okay'' he replied ''You can get your school stuff. I...'' he looked out eyeing the street. ''...will be around.'' then hugging her tightly for no reason at all, he made his way out the shop.

"Because it wasn't here the last three times." she laughed, seeing that smirk on his face. Pfft, if they had what she wanted here, then she'd by it. Forget the quill and parchment. She could get those out of a firstie. Or maybe Destiny.

Mmhmm, she knew he'd choose the second option. Oh! Hugs! Teehee. Hugging him back, relishing in his warmth, she sighed when it was suddenly gone, and she was staring at his dark hair moving out of the shop.

She supposed she should go and get her things now. Might as well get it over with so she could get back to Josh faster. Too the quill shop then!!

Patroclus saw that he had said something wrong, so he agreed to the chocolate search,
"Let's look!" he smiled as they began to walk down one aisle and into the next, "I think you have to have a party! Where else are we going to eat so mych till we are sick and not worry about it!" he laughed.

"Is everything OK Emmy?" he smiled at the girl, he had a feeling that something was off

Emmy laughed, following him up and down the aisles, and at last found an absolute mountain of chocolate.
"Um, I don't s'pose you'd be willing to help me organise my birthday party, would you?" she asked shyly.
She browsed through several different types of truffle before answering him.
"I'm sorry, Patroclus - it's not been a very good year at all, and to be honest, I'd rather forget it ever happened - I've done some stupid things, and in return, stupid things have happened to me... It's a pretty big blot on my copybook." she said, smiling wryly.
"So - birthdays and chocolate; where to start...?" she grinned, helping herself to a box of fancy chocolates.
