"Hang on," Benjy said with a shake of the head, "You're the one who asked. Why you throwing it back at me?" Unless...was Garrick trying to dig for something? Frown. At least it distracted him from Garrick counting money though.

"They wouldn't...would they?" It was too frivolous. Though, Garrick could probably charm his mother into anything. And would want Benjy to work on his father. Yes, he could figure that much out. "Wouldn't that take the fun out of it somewhat though?" If they could just stay there all the time? Candy was like the forbidden fruit to Benjy, and as much as that was annoying, it also meant it was the BEST feeling coming somewhere like this.

"Not even Lotus?" he asked casually, looking round the shop. If she was here, then Lex better be too, cos otherwise he'd just be shelved on his lonesome. It wasn't that he DIS-liked Lotus, persay, just...well, he saw those two at Christmas, hold hands and stuff. EW.

Now that was a good question. With an easy answer. "Something I've never had before. You?"

Blue was BORED.

She'd found herself wandering around Hogsmeade all on her lonesome. Of course, she wasn't out in the cold for too long. It was inevitable that she'd be drawn to Honeydukes like a magnet. It was just self-torture going in there when she couldn't afford a dust bunny in the register but she couldn't resist.

The fourth year was strolling casually through the aisles, one hand playing with her braid and the other picking up packet-ed stuff and holding it up to eye-level to check if there was the one-to-one hundred chance that THIS would be the sweet that she could afford when she saw... two heads that she kiiiiinda recognized.

Maybe they'd give to the needy and poor?

She picked up her pace slightly and over took them before spinning on her heel and BEAMING at Garrick and Benjy. "Hey ho. Waddup?" BEAM BEAM BEAM. Translation = I'mma chill with you guys now, yeah?

Garrick looked at bewildered. Huh? What was he talking about? Garrick has already forgotten... Heh.

"They might. Who knows? I can be pretty persuasive. We're at Hogwarts most of the time, Benjamin... We would never have to pay for candy. Ever. We could just send in orders and they'd owl us candy back." See the genius in his freshly hatched plan? Jeez. He called himself a Ravenclaw. Redic.

And he mentioned Lotus... Garrick ignored that question. "I think I just want some Bertie Bott's Beans." And LOOK AT THAT! Distraction in the form of Blue.

Beaming at the girl Garrick said, "Looking lovely as ever Miss Blue. How are you?" And yes, he was being silly... using a super posh tone and dipping her a small bow. Manners and a sense of humor. Garrick was CLEARLY a catch.

"I was just telling Benjy I was gonna get some Bott's Beans." SMIRK. And she might have gotten an eyebrow wiggle. Wanna make another wager, Miss Blue?

And look at that. Somehow, Garrick managed to look completely confuddled and just ignored the whole thing.

Charming.

"It's a little too far-fetched an idea, isn't it?" He liked his candy, and freebies were good...but it still felt, well, like taking liberties. Especially if he wouldn't get the same excitement like he got when coming here. It was the whole excited atmosphere of the place. "It'd still need to be...well, exciting, a treat..."

OH. Ignored again? So Garrick wasn't meeting her, but kinda wanted to see her? Interestingggg. "Only Bertie Bott's?" Wasn't that like his usual? Where was the adventure in that? Well, except for the fact you never knew what you were gonna get. "I fancy something...a little more exotic."

OH, they had company! And what was that voice Garrick was doing?

"Hi Blue," Benjy greeted, a little more casually. He offered a friendly wave rather than the dipped-head-bow thing his cousin went for. Yep, the cousins definitely had different styles. Like chalk and cheese. "I was thinking something a little more...out of the ordinary. Something I've never had before..."

Any suggestions?

And what WAS that eyebrow wiggle for?
