With it being SO close to her birthday, Anya knew only one thing would make her extra special 13th Birthday be super extra special.

And that one thing was... to buyout the entire collection of fudge!

Of course, she didn't have that much money. So, she'd just have to settle for a pound or two.

... as soon as she picked a flavor.

Ohh! And after she picked up a box of sugar quills!

CASTLE ESCAPE!

Dylan could not have been happier. He'd enjoyed Hogwarts and most of his classes, yes...but for him, he needed space to think...without all the other Slytherin boys breathing down his neck...

...And Bee popping up out of nowhere all the time...

...And the possibility of him being sent to the hospital wing everyday...

Also, his candy collection was running a bit low. SO, that meant it was time to visit Honeydukes.

Entering the shop, the Slytherin made a beeline for the fudge and handmade candies. Running through his mental checklist, he noted that he needed Maple and Chocolate dragon fudge. SO GOOD...and a few of those cherry-centered truffles...He remembered thoroughly enjoying them the last time...

Oooh, maybe he'd try some of those Every Flavor beans he'd been hearing ab-...

*BLINK*

Spying a girl standing near the fudge, the first thing Dylan got a good look at was her backside. Although, he wasn't too fussed about that...No...It was those AMAZING legs the happen to be stemming from that backside...Were those leggings?

*STARE*

Approaching her, because he simply could not just NOT introduce himself, he spoke to her back. "Hello, miss." *ish putting on his BEST smile*

Yeah. Anya really could never have enough sugar quills. EVER!

And so... she grabbed a few more... boxes. Mmm! Perfect.

She stopped for a few seconds before turning toward the fudge. Right. Next thing on her list was lots and lots of fudge!

She was just about to head in that direction... when one of the two snake boys she knew made an appearance.

"Hey Dylan!" she said with a bright smile. She gave him a quick hug. Why? Because Anya loved, loved, loved hugs.

And because someone told her something about the snake people just needing hugs sometimes.

"Filling up are you?" she asked. "I am too. Buying myself a little birthday present actually." she said eyeing the fudge once more.

"Anyway... how was your summer?"

Dylan was prepared to offer his best smile, smirk just a little, and then flash his eyes at her from under his hair...because that seemed to work every time...However...

The girl, whoever she was, was practically beaming at him when she turned around (which was just lovely, he'd later recall)...Then she was wrapping her arms around his neck...

This...gorgeous mystery girl...KNEW him?

*BLINK*

The Slytherin was about to comment...when she started going on about it being her birthday soon...and was asking him about filling up?

*BLINK*

Dylan was caught in the very awkward position of either going along with it...or questioning...Should he ask? Meh...He'd feel it out for a moment. No need to hurt the beautiful girl's feelings for not remembering...

"My summer was uneventful, thank you for asking...And yes, I am restocking my supply. It seems the other boys discovered I had a stash..."...Something he'd been annoyed at, at first...but whatever. He was seriously trying to be more social...And being a brat about his candy stash would not benefit his pursuit at all.

"How about you? Anything new going on there?" He figured if he asked enough questions, she'd give him the proper clues...Ugh, how could he not remember her?...And those legs? HOW?

Hogsmeade... THEY'RE officially allowed to go visit Hogsmeade Of course Jonathan was super excited to go when he heard about this. They don't go out of Hogwarts that often, so Hogsmeade is like a mini vacation treat they get for being such hard-working students. And quite frankly, who wants to be just stay around the Dungeons at this time of the year. It's starting to freeze in their dorm rooms again, like every year. Winter is fast approaching, so it's definitely going to be blankets and coats in the common room for most of the time.

Jonathan walked over to the Honeydukes. He hasn't been here in a long long while. So he entered this shop first thing when he reached Hogsmeade. Candy shop. Yup, Jonathan is such a big fan of sweets of any kind. May it be of candy or pastry. It doesn't matter at all.

Upon entering this fine establishment, his eyes widened with all the oh so good sweet stuffs, it's as if he'd want to buy the store itself and just live here forever. But of course, he knows it'll never happen. For a 17 year old, Jonathan acts like he is 3 when it comes to something sweet. Breathing in and out, he scouted for candies that he'd like to buy and maybe save some for later. He always had a stack of sweets in his trunk back at the common room. So it was time to give it a refill.

Hmmm...

Jonathan first looked at the gum... Meh, he wasn't really the 'gum' person. So he'll just pass this area. Next area he scouted was just delicious... FUDGE!!! Everything just looked heavenly, he can take a bunch of this. Milk chocolate for sure. He picked a few more as he walked further across from one place to another, a couple of chocolates and dark chocolate truffles. Chocolate dragon. Chocoballs. Cherry center truffle and of course, the ever famous chocolate frogs.

YUM! Now, he's all packed for his winter hibernation.

Anya giggled lightly. "Maybe you just need to learn to hide your treats better." she said. "I keep my secret stash in my nightstand under some..." She then stopped and giggled lightly once more. "I almost gave away my secrets."

And she couldn't do that!

Not that she expected there to be a random Gryffindor spy here though.

"Umm... I just found out I made my quidditch team again." she said. There was also that bit about her Captain yelling at her for knowing too many boys... but she doubted that Dylan wanted to hear about that. "Other than that... I guess I'm relatively boring." she said with a light shrug.

Oh! And there was ONE exciting thing. One very big exciting thing.

"And... you know how today is November 7th?" she asked. "Well... my birthday is on the 11th! That's only four days away!"

As in... she could count that one ONE hand. It was THAT soon!

Tag figured, being new to being brought into the wizard world he should combine two of his favorite things together. Wizardy life with the food loving life. Now that he was in the candy shop he saw the same old muggle candy he had back home, but not this time. He headed towards the corner in which he saw different varieties of candies. All of them wizard candies. Hesitantly, he picked up what seemed to be a slimy slug. His face made an odd expression as he looked at what his hands were holding.

"Not my cup of tea but its..its..its food,right?" He said in a unsure voice, even though his attempt to reassure himself was pointless.

Kennedy entered the candy shop, his teeth chattering a bit. Snow was beginning to fall and a bit of wind had picked up as well. He shook his head, shrugging off snowflakes. The Prefect glanced around when his green eyes landed on something shiny.

A coupon?

Kennedy liked coupons. In fact, he liked anything that discounted from the original price. Clearly, Kennedy wasn't used to being wealthy. Now that his father had claimed him he didn't need to worry about money, but he wasn't used to it...yet.

He took the golden coupon and began browsing around for sweets. His pockets were heavy with coins, so he didn't have to worry about what and whatnot to take. After all, he could afford it now. Hehe.

John wandered off not really having a destination he wanted to go to. He saw 'curly top' and approached him.

But wait! First he grabbed a coupon, he liked anything that was close to free or literally just free! The teen loved free stuff, yes he had money. But if it meant not spending much, he was all for it.

He walked up to Kenny "Wad'up man?" he nodded his head as a greeting.

"Hey," Kennedy said, knowing very well who had approached him, but still keeping his on the coupon. He was reading the fine print. What? He liked being informed.

After adjusting his glasses he looked up to his friend with a mischievous smile. "You ready to stuff our pockets with sweets?" Oh yeah, he was going to pack up with enough that'll last him until the end of the term. He tapped his pocket causing a metallic clattering sound to ring. He was most glad that he was going to waste his father's money on useless, but yummy things.

As soon as Mordred learned that Hogsmeade was open, he dashed in to their dormitory and looked for his black jeans, black hoodie, black peacoat and his new shoes he got from his parent earlier that day. He, however eyed his Slytherin scarf and debated with himself if he should bring it or not. He decided not to, since (if his memory serves him well) it was about that time that…that..oh.

Never mind.

Anyway, he made his way to Honeydukes and looked wildly around him. “Where do I start?” he thought as his feet dragged him to the Handmade Candies. As he examined, the sweets, he noticed that there was a coupon lying around the shelves where the candies were. He eyed it and read what it said. Apparently, Hogsmeade is celebrating its 1000th year, and they are giving away a discount.

Not that he needs one. He looked away from it and looked around hoping to find Oakey. He might be interested. Shrugging, he started to pick the sweets he was going to buy.

Elliot, of course, was NOT much a sweets fan. In fact, she hated sweets. But she always found herself INSIDE OF SWEETSHOPS because of her little sisters. They loved chocolate...so Elliot, once again, was in Honeydukes to buy them CANDY.

EWWW.

She staggered around a little, since it was pleeeenty crowded. She was about to pick up some candies...when...something caught her eye.

Some boy's SHOES. They were simply tennis shoes...but they were AWESOME! Elliot had NEVER worn tennis shoes before...her father thought them too common...but if she had an awesome pair sporting Ravenclaw instead of Slytherin, she totally would. She didn't realize she had been staring at the kid's shoes for far too long, and tried to play it off....but...

it was too late.

So Elliot smirked smugly, and said, "Nice shoes, sir. Where did you get them?" she asked, begging her cheeks not to go red in embarrassment.

Toffee. Check.

Nougat. Check.

Yes, of course the Dark Chocolate Truffles. That was a must. “Now where’s the chocolate fud…” Mordred trailed off as he saw a girl staring at his feet. He pulled a confused face and looked down. Was she looking at his new shoes? Before he knew it, she was already asking where he got them. Should he tell?

No?

Yes?

Oh, oh well he doesn’t know where exactly his parents got them. He suspects it’s muggle shoes and was modified by his mother who used to be in Slytherin. He looked at the girl again and responded with pride. “My parents got it for me. I s’pose, it’s an early Christmas present…or birthday present.” He said as he looked at the window thinking. Or was it a bribe of some sort? Mordred looked at her again, and he was sure she wasn’t from Slytherin. “Why? You like them?” he asked with a smirk.

Oh and did he call him sir? That sounded nice. He might live with it. But then again... "The name's Mordred." he said as he tried to extend his hand to shake, but both of his hands were already full of sweets.

Ariana skipped into honeydukes her favorite store and went right over to the fudge.

Justin crept into Honeydukes just after his girlfriend , Ariana, He had followed her unbeknownst to her all the way from school. She had the feeling that she was being followed , but never caught him. He quietly came up behind her and gently jabbed her in the ribs, " GOTCHA!" he said as he jumped back just in case she went to swat him for scaring the bejesus out of her.

Ariana was busy picking out some fudge when some one touched her scare the all heck outta her! she squeeled and jumped turning around ready to hit someone, untill she saw it was just justin "Justinn!! You scared me half to death!" she said as she lightly punched him in the arm with a smile on

Justin laughed at her reaction.... then she lightly punched him the arm... " Aahh, easy, beautiful. I'm gonna need that arm at some point. " he joked. Then he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. " So, ....Fudge? I take it that's your favourite? " Justin said as he made a mental note of this fact.

"wel then i'll be carefull cause the more you do that the closer you'll be to losing that arm." she said joking as she hugged him and kissed him back "yes, it is actually." she said with a smile as she turned back to look at it

" I'll have to remember that for the future then." he laughed. " My favourite is the licorice ropes... anything licorice really..." he trailed off as he started looking at all the different typesof fudge on the shelves.

"Ohh i lovee those too! But im a girl and girls are suckers for chocolate." she said smiling as she put a few pieces into a bag.

" You do? Boy, we sure have alot in common..." Justin said as he watched her put some fudge in her bag. " Well, then the next stop here is the licorice counter.... " he said as he eyed where the licorice was displayed.

Elliot raised an eyebrow at him. Of course she liked them, or else she wouldn't be asking about them...honestly, non-ravenclaws.
"Obviously," she replied back, still eyeing him up and down. He was a typical Slytherin, she supposed, down to his smirk. But Elliot was the queeeeeen of smirks.

Her eyebrow relaxed as he introduced himself. Mordred. She repeated the name to herself in her head. "Well, Mordred, the pleasure is yours, I assure you," she replied, a smug smirk appearing on her face as well. "My name is Elliot. Elliot Mitchell Morganzo, Ravenclaw. As if you couldn't tell by my witty charm and mannerism," haha, this was fun.

She noticed him attempting to shake her hand...but failing. She tried not to look too critical as she said, "Fancy a few sweets, eh?"

Cue smirk again. *smirks.*

Ariana looked up at him when he said they had a lot in common and just smiled at him "I actually was going to head there next anyway."

Dylan eyed her carefully for a moment...Hide his treats better? Pfft. No, his dorm mates needed to learn not to go through his things. It was beyond rude...Not that he was going to say such a thing to this girl. It might come off the wrong way...and he really was trying to be better about his attitude towards his housemates.

Trying not to think about that...because this girl obviously wasn't Slytherin (she was far too happy to be)...he smirked. Secrets, eh? Dylan enjoyed secrets...and she did look like a girl that had a few. Opting not to comment, he listened to her continue to talk. Naturally when she mentioned Quidditch, his eyebrows raised a bit. "What position?"

Once again...Another girl that was totally beautiful...who wasn't afraid to get physical. He was, of course, assuming this since Quidditch could be a very physical sport...Something he'd quickly learned during Slytherin tryouts. Those bludgers were no nonsense...Yep, that had been the reason he'd went out for Beater. Being able to have something in his hands that could protect his face from those nasty things..."Boring? I somehow find that very hard to believe, princess." *smirk*

He was still drawing a blank as far as who she was...

Glancing down, he eyed her legs one last time before turning back towards the fudge display. Dylan needed a distraction before he embarrassed himself...and a amazing pair of legs could cause just that. "SO,..." *cough* "What were you looking at? I bet you're a Dragon Fire fudge-type girl..."
