She popped another piece of chocolate in her mouth and chewed it slowly.

ELLIE WAS SHUSHING HER! Emma was going to make an announcement. "ATTENTION ALL SHOPPERS! It is Ellie Johanesen's Birthday!" she exclaimed, wearing a wicked grin, outloud. Then she added quietly. "Well in a month." Teehee. NOT GET HER ANYTHING?!?! SHOCK HORROR! Emma WOULD HAVE to get ELLIE SOMETHING! But what??! Hmmm.. Time to put on her thinking hat. Hmmmmm.... SHE COULD THROW HER A PARTY! Yeahh! That would be good. Or an all girl party. Mhm. Yep. Fantastic idea. "Another day of the year?" asked Emma, blinking her eyes quickly and being dramatic. "ANOTHER DAY OF THE YEAR? Well Miss Ellie. It is not simply another day of the year to me! It's YOUR birthday. Your special day and it only comes once a year!" she exclaimed. Ellie's earlier comment flooded back into her mind. I'm running out of time. Eep. This could be the last one.. She turned around and blanched. She didn't want Ellie to see her so pale or anything. No that would only worry her friend. And that wasn't the point. Emma turned around with a wide smile on her face.

Ellie turned around just in time to see Emma sticking her tongue out at her and Ellie couldn't help but snort. "Real mature, Malfoy." She teased her with a poke in the shoulder and a wink.

Suddenly, Emma's voice filled the little candy shop, exclaiming that Ellie's birthday was next month. Ellie's face immediately flushed and turned bright pink. "Emma!" She whispered loudly. "Cut it out, they think you're crazy!" Students in the shop were staring at them now. Ellie turned around to hide from their eyes. GUH, friends could be embarrassing, yet Ellie was giggling like a little girl. Finally, Emma started quieting down. But then NOPE, she kept talking loudly. Ellie laughed, looking around nervously. "Sheesh, calm down! We're gonna get kicked out, Emm." She told her with a laugh. "I don't see what the big idea is, it's just a- A day...." Her voice faded and her smile was replaced with a worried look. Because Emma had suddenly gone pale and turned around quickly.

"Emma...?" Ellie called out quietly, but then Emma turned back around with a grin. It seemed forced. Ellie had a feeling she knew what Emma was thinking about, but she still asked. "What's wrong, Emm?"

Emma giggled and gave Ellie an evil smirk. OOh, she was enjoying this a lot. It was almost as fun as eating chocolate. She beamed Ellie a smile. Emma shrugged her shoulders. Crazy? Goodness, that was the second time this week. First this Ravenclaw called Dallin called her crazy cause she was looking for the Room of Requirement and he didn't believe it was true. Oh goodness. Maybe Emma was going a little mad? Or maybe she had eaten a lot of chocolate already? Sugar Rush.

"No, they won't. And besides, I'm a Malfoy, what could go wrong?" she asked her Ravie friend dramatically. She was a Malfoy and people thinking that she was crazy was not a good idea. The blonde popped another piece of chocolate in her mouth and decided to stay quiet a little longer. Emma shook her head. "Kicked out? That would be funny. A Ravenclaw and a Slytherin kicked out?" she began, still teasing her friend, until she realised Ellie was being serious. Oh..... "But Ellie... IT IS A BIG DAY AND YOU CAN'T DENY IT!" she whispered loudly to Ellie, lowering her voice.

MERLIN'S BEARD! How was Ellie so good at picking up when she was upset? Alex rarely picked it up... She coughed and put on an innocent look. "Nothing's wrong! It's just that we should make every day count. Especially your birthday." she added, giving her friend a real smile this time.

It was confirmed it was indeed her, and...

Darn it Heather, do not squeal, do not squeal...DO NOT SQUEAL-

"ME TOO~!" she just squealed and she covered her mouth. "Err...uhm...of course..." she smiled...and then Cass asked her what was wrong. Wrong? nothing's wrong. There hadn't been any major drama going on with her as of the moment. Everything was rather going fine, except for when twice a week, Camellia sends her scary-looking owl, Eraqus with her letters, mostly about 'that wonderful' bartender in the Leaky Cauldron. EUGH. Her sister is just giving her ideas not to fall in love soon because she's crazy (in her silent opinion)-and Heather didn't want to be that crazily obsessed.

"nothing's wrong...what made you think that?" yeah, what did? Before Heather picked up the box of bertie botts, she recalled something else.

"Cass, do you know Connor Corun? he's in the same house as you." woould she tell her friend the big news? Cass is her childhood best friend, so she should know about this. No secrets between them anymore, she promised.

Then she shrugged at her question "No reason." She said nonchalantly "I was just asking." No way she was admitting that she thought Heather was sick or something because she didn't squeal.

"Connor? Yeah. I do." Cass said with a small frown on her face, she liked Connor alright, but she did find him weird. Very weird. "Why?"

Originally Posted by PandaGirl

Heather beamed, but then thought back. Should she tell Cass? last time she told Cass about Emily, she responded rather bad and didn't speak to Heather for a few days. Then at Camellia's state, she got a bit violent, but not so violent, she just asked how much drama her family has.

and judging by how things were between her and Connor, Cass might not take it all in and explode once more.

how was she going to put this lightly? She can't.

"He's my big brother." she blurted out. Smooth, Heather. Really smooth, maybe it would be better if she had taken lessons on how to lay big news smoothly without causing quite a commotion after from someone who is a master at such.

"the thing is....well....it's like this.....first...Camellia is the adopted one...and...she's best friends with Connor's mom and my parents have a habit of taking people in so Connor and his mom are part of the family now....and...i think personally...Connor would be my nephew...but we agreed that he'd call me his lil sis and i call him my big brother." she sighed. "this summer, he and his mom will be staying with us now." no, she'd have to leave out the reason why. it was too private and personal between her and Connor, most especially for Connor. "uhm...i've been meaning to tell you...when i got the letter from Camellia and realized that....and when big bro-C-Connor told me....but you see...i couldn't find you anywhere...and i couldn't catch up with you." Heather was a bit slow at running, except when Chocolate is at the end of the line.

He spoke softly, pain lacing his voice. He'd given everyone their gifts on the day and nothing. He'd even created a special date for orabelle on the day, and nothing... He popped a piece of fudge into his mouth. He started to walk out of the shoppe again.

She could go home and sleep in her own bed. Oh well, new experiences are good right? She found a few chocolate frogs and grabbed them. For her and Nika of course! Then a box of Berttie Botts for them as well. Cove would bet anything that Nika was in here somewhere as well with an arm full of chocolate and a hyperactive smile.

She hummed as she skipped through and picked out boxes of chocolate frogs, but there was one problem. She wasn't going to be able to carry them all in her hands! So Nika put them back and went to go to the cashier person and ask if she could have a giant bag or something... If her parents knew what she spent all of her money on--

"COVE!" The second year jumped up and down seeing her friend and smiled. Well the frogs could wait I guess.... "What brings you here!?" She asked with an eyebrow raised. Didn't the girl say she was trying to eat healthy or something... HEHE see no one can resist the chocolate frogs! Not even Cove!

She went in, trying to go past the crowd, looking for her favourites, Chocolate Frogs. She really needed chocolate for energy but the girl was also crazy about collecting the cards. There were so many wizards she still needed, though her collection had grown to a considerable size.

Before reaching the shelves, however, Ariadne saw a very familiar face. 'Hiya, Gwen! What are you up to?' she asked, walking closer to her Ravvie friend. 'Actually, Gwen dear...' Ari couldn't help imitating their Arithmancy Professor, remembering how embarassed Gwen had been the last class, having to do calculations in front of everyone, without having offered.

She smirked at him- "Happy Valentines... and..." she smirked- "Your next present will have to be given to you in the common room" she said with a smile, boy it had taken her ages... she hoped he liked it. "Are you okay anyways?" she asked him, giving him a friendly hug.

He and Kurumi were searching for his dad in the library and it was a painful search, but he had to do it. He needed that father connection somehow.

"Really?" Nika couldn't believe that her friend came to get stuff for the two of them. Well that was very sweet of her. "Well... erm you can have some of the chocolate frogs that I'm going to get!" She said with a nod to confirm. Of course she hadn't been planning to share a lot of her chocolate, but since Cove said she was there to get them things Nika had to say something. "Actually I was just going to ask if they had shopping carts or anything because I don't think all of those chocolates can fit in my arms." Hehe. No she wanted too many.

Originally Posted by potterfan180

"Of course. I do a lot for people that are nice to me." Cove said. "Alright, I probably wont eat many of them, I'll leave most of them for you, okay?" She smiled at the younger girl. "They might have baskskets. Let's go see!"
