"Fifth year.. I know what you can do! You can wear heels? Or maybe there is a charm that we could use or a potion..." thought Emma. She smiled at the idea.

"Hey Dianna! I thought you were behind us! Are you ready for some dinner?" asked Emma, smiling broadly. Luckily Dianna had made it!, she thought. She picked up the teapot and asked her cousin, "Do you want some tea?"

Selena smiled at Diana, "Welcome to Madame Puddifoot's, a wonderful shop of yummy delicacies," Selena said a bit regally. "Selena doesn't do heels," Selena said with a wrinkle of her nose. She would fall flat on her face first.

"Yes please and dinner would be great!" Dianna said as she took a menu. 'There are so many yummy delicious things here!' she thought. While looking at the menu she heard Selena say something about shoes.
"Heels? The only time I wear heels is when there's a party or something. I mean those kinds of footwear are killers to the feet!" she said looking back at the menu.

"I agree, except I absolutely refuse to put my feet in them... ever," Selena sighed. She wore it once, took one step and bam. Disaster struck and she had fallen flat on her face. It was extremely painful.

"But then maybe this will al change when we grow older. I mean if we start going to balls and stuff.." she continued as she was still deciding what to eat.

Selena cringed. "Please, I hate going to those formal gatherings and the whatnot. They're so dreadfully boring," Selena sighed. She hated them all. She hated the ridiculous parties she was dragged to and wearing an itchy dress... and wearing tall shoes.

"Mhmm.." she stood up to order.
"One apple pie with ice cream, a slice of victoria sponge, a cornish pastie and sticky toffee pudding with ice cream too please." she payed the cashier and then walked back to the table.
"Did your parents use to drag you to those fancy balls and gala's when you were younger?" she asked Selena as she munched on her sweets.

Emma smiled. "Heels are painful, but my parents say that I must wear them, so I have too. I only wear them for important events!! They are not fun at all" added Emma, putting on a sad face. She then laughed and smiled.

Rhea walked into Puddifoot's. She was glad to be inside a pub again and out of the chilly December weather. She once again pulled her scarf off and looked behind her to make sure that she hadn't lost Aiden( and to make sure that he wasn't trying to sneak away because he didn't want to try her flavour of ice cream).
"Well Aiden, this is Puddifoot's." She said as she walked in and inhaled the wonderul smell of pastry and other delectable goodies.

Selena sighed. "Did they? They still do," Selena grumbled. Yeah. More heels and pretty shiny dresses that her mother made her wear. "And they tried to make me organize it too..." Selena groaned. Work was definitely not one of Selena's favorite things. "Speaking of balls, are you guys going to the Alumni Homecoming Ball?" Selena asked.

Aiden followed Rhea into this Puddifoot's place. Finally, they were going for their ice cream. His eyes widened a bit at the wide selection on their menu. "Jeez.. how do people pick with so many choices?" His sight remained on the menu for a tad longer until he turned to his friend with a grin. "Go ahead and order your raspberry and butterbeer. I'll get my cauldron cakes and cookie dough." Hah.

Rhea laughed. That was one of the many things she loved about going to Hogwarts. They always always had a lot to choose from with everything!
"Oh we Hogwartians get used to the awesomeness." She said smirking. Rhea pulled the menu from him and placed both of them on her side.
"Oh I don't think so buddy. Today is the day that Aiden Chevalier, taste's Raspberry butterbeer ice." She said stubbornly. She narrowed her eyes at him slightly though there was a small smile playing on her lips.
"I insist."

Hogwartians. Is that what they were called? Hah. Weird, but all right. He was a Hogwartian. And he knew that she'd make a fuss about the ice cream flavors; it was inevitable. "Rhea, I hope you realize that I am very stubborn," he told her. "I won't eat it. Hah.. I'm too picky." It was true. As much as she wanted him to taste it, he wouldn't. Nope.

Rhea frowned. This was certainly going to be harder than she thought. She needed a plan, a very good one or he would never taste. What was she going to do?
"But Aiden.." she whined and then pouted. Normally this would be reserved for her dad but drastic times called for drastic measures. Rhea pulled out the puppy dog pout. It always worked for her dad, maybe it would work with him too. She quivered her lip while trying hard not to bust out in laughter. She couldn't believe she was doing this to her best friend.
"Pweeease?" cue batting of eye lashes and more puppy pout.

Oh, why lookee yonder. Aiden was being graced with a Rhea pout. Hah! He never would have thought it would come to this. He grinned widely and folded his arms. "I'm afraid I'm one of the most stubborn people you'll meet, lake-dweller." Raspberry and butterbeer were meant to stay as a berry and a sweet drink. Not flavors for cold desserts!

Rhea frowned and sighed. Clearly she was getting no where fast with her attempt to get him to try her flavour ice cream. She would have to change her tactic.
"Fine then Aiden. You win. I'll go get us our ice creams. After all, I lost right." She pushed her chair out and let out a dramatic sigh and made sure to cast him a very sad look before moving off.

Aww, so now she was trying to make him feel bad. And it had worked at first.. but then he remembered that this was all just about ice cream! No, he couldn't feel badly. "Extra cookie dough, please." Heheh. Aiden was being honest when he stated how stubborn he was. And today was no exception.

Rhea sighed again loudly as she moved towards the ice cream section. She saw Aiden's cookie dough flavour and her raspberry butterbeer beer flavour and grinned.
"Two raspberry butterbeer flavour please?" She said grinning. She waited until she got the two scoops and sugar cones then looked back to see if Aiden was looking. Balancing two ice creams in one hand she pointed her wand to one ice cream and charmed the outside to look like his cookie dough flavour. She grinned and headed back to their table. Aiden liked to give unsuspecting people nasty bertie botts beans, well today was histurn to taste a flavour he didn't expect.

"Here you go winner." With another dramatic sigh and sad face, Rhea handed him his cookie dough ice cream.

Aiden nonchalantly tapped his fingers along the rim of the table as he waited for Rhea to return. But he didn't have to wait long because soon enough, she was back with his cookie dough ice cream in hand. He grinned widely as she called him the winner. "Why, thank you." He took the cone from her, eager to take a bite of his beloved cookie dough. And so, he took a big bite out of the top scoop. Mmmmmm -- wait. Waitwaitwait. He swallowed. "This is raspberry!" He gaped at Rhea. What a fox! That was so unexpected. Expecially from the Hufflepuff. He eyed the cone. "Well.. it's totally not anywhere as good as cookie dough... but it's not bad, I guess." Pfft. He still couldn't believe it.

Rhea could hardly hide the grin that was tugging on her lips when Aiden took the ice cream and said thanks. Oh he was in for a very big surprize. She chuckled a bit when he said thank you but managed to turn it into a small cough. When he took a big bite and swallowed Rhea burst out laughing sending her ice cream down the wrong track. She coughed for real this time in between fits of laughter. She quickled dug into her pocket for her small wizard camera, she definitely came prepared. She snapped a pic of his gaping face, ice cream in hand. Awesome! Rhea grinned triumphantly.
"Ha! I thought you weren't ever going to try my flavour," she said smirking and waggling the camera.
"Now I have proof."

"Okay, that's not fair! I wasn't going to try!" But now that he had, he realized that it wasn't so bad. But nowhere near as good as his favorites. The camera just topped it all off. Of course she would pull out the camera and take a, most likely horrible, picture of him. "Yeah, yeah, go on and gloat." He chuckled a little. He had to admit, that was good.

Rhea smirked as Aiden protested her tactic. As far as she was concerned there were no rules in war and ice cream. Not what so ever.
"Oh I think it's very fair actually. You were being very stubborn but I had to get you to try otherwise I would totally lose to you" She resisted the urge to stick her tongue out at him.
"Oh I will gloat actually. This was a very good victory for me. In fact I think it's so good, I'm going to get this photo printed right now." She dug into her pocket and pulled out a few sickles.
"here can you just pay for this for me and keep this" She put her bag of sweets and other goodies she bought and had bagged unto the table. It was a total of three bags with assorted things.
"I'll meet you back when I get these pictures done, if I'm not back by the time you're ready to leave Hogsmeade I'll catch you around at school." Before he could say anything Rhea was on her feet and rushing out of the shop.

"Yeah me too.." Dianna pouted.

"Wait, What?" Dianna stopped in the middle of her pie. "Never heard of that yet. When and what is it?" she asked.

Selena raised a brow. "It's going to be at the end of term," Selena said. "It's going to be a ball for the graduates of Hogwarts and they'll have a chance to meet the students of Hogwarts," Selena informed her. "Besides, if you go it'll be a good time to network, gain some internships..." Selena said. She was not going though.

Emma beamed "Oh yeah, I've heard about it but I thought it was only for the Alumni's! Hmm I don't know... Are you going to go Dianna? Sel" asked Emma. She saw Sel's expression of not going, maybe she could persuade her. It did sound like a good thing.
