High Street is the main street of Hogsmeade, from which you can access all its most famous shops. There's a path that leads from the winged boar flecked front gates of Hogwarts all the way up to High Street. It's probably how you got here today!

From the main street of Hogsmeade, you can ,eet up with your friends before heading over to the Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer, browse the windows of the shops as you pass by, interact with students from other houses, and just have fun on your weekend out. Enjoy!

And besides, if he did it with magic, probably it wouldn't hurt the worms or flobberworms, probably. Maybe. Okay, maybe best NOT to ask uncle Plymouth. He might not be okay with the 'probably' part. He was too nice about things and it got in the way of stuff sometimes. "No actually no grown ups. They won't understand." She'd changed her mind once she heard her own words out loud okay? It happened.

But yeah NEWS. She was absolutely PLEASED AS PUNCH that Davie was understanding of how big of an awesome deal this was. "I know they are SO BIG! Like one that I saw was big enough to go up my WHOLE arm." She held her arm out in illustration so that David could get an appropriate visual. THAT was a big ol' snail!

"I don't know about Africa. MAYBE though because dad works at the top part, in Egypt." It was... uhh... a real big place though right? But that part didn't matter. They could apparate. Or floo. Or something. She was magical, and also her parents would figure out the logistics, she didn't need to worry about that stuff.

"I will let you help me name it!" She said seriously, clearly bestowing a GREAT HONOUR on him. "They don't eat worms, but that's okay, we could get it some worms to have as pets maybe!" She was filled UP with good ideas today, man!

OH BUT she wasn't done about news.

"I have to tell you about my other snails! They're normal ones. Well they're mine and Wesley Ellerby's. He's my boyfriend now," Was that news? Probably, but not the important part. FOCUS ON THE SNAILS. "So like, we PAINTED their shells. Racing stripes and stuff, you know! We had ten but then one of them, a BIRD ate it. Like it SNATCHED IT UP," Char demonstrated with an appropriate hand-as-beak snatching movement, "And then it flew up REAL high, and THEN it DROPPED the snail on the CONCRETE! And then!" Breathe, "And then! It flew DOWNNNN and Reginald's," The snail,"shell was all SMASHED and the bird ATE him!"

Like whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!?! Right?

"I don't think there are birds big enough that eat snails that could do that to a Giant African Snail though!" She fanned herself. This was TOO much. She was overwhelmed by snail thoughts and it was amazing.

"Yeah, and yeah!" Plymouth!! Davie remembered him. He was cool. And nice. And he made Mum smile, which didn't happen all that often around other adults 'sides Dad. Or if Plymmy couldn't do it, Davie's dad could. He was the best dad, and never asked silly questions. He opened his mouth to say so but... quickly closed it when Char changed her mind. Never mind then, never mind. "Okaaaaaay."

SO BIG SNAIL WAS HAPPENING AND THAT WAS WAY COOL. "I bet it could crawl all the way UP your arm to sit on your HEAD!" Davie giggled, walking his fingers up her arm to her head, itsy-bitsy-spider style. "I can't wait to see it!"

He remembered Egypt, he DID, even though everyone said he couldn't. He just had a deep memory sometimes, okay? AW BUT HE WAS GONNA GET TO HELP NAME IT!!! David bounced in place now. "OKAY!!!!" And he thought only Charlotte shouted. "Worms make great pets! You hardly even have to feed 'em!" He pushed his glasses up his nose again, his mind running in 50 different directions now because of the snails and the worms and the names for Charlotte's snail and WOW today just wasn't going to be any ordinary Saturday, was it?

Whoa, more snails! David didn't know who Welby Eserly was, but that was cool. He blinked a few more times at the 'boyfriend' part, mostly because he didn't know who Welby Eserly was, and what if he wasn't a good enough boyfriend for his very good friend Charlotte Kettleburn?! But SNAILS! Davie's little mouth dropped open in appreciation of this EXCITING, AWESOME snail story. "THAT'S SOOOOO COOOOOL!" He giggled again at her. SO COOL. Snails getting SMASHED. Awesome. He just wished he could have been there to see it.

"Well, I bet we won't find any snails here," he mentioned, remembering the list and wanting to steer them back on track, "BUT, WORMS! Let's get started on our FrankenMUTANTworm!!!!!" C'mon, Charlotte! Davie started off into the grass to look for the worms.

This was too much stimulation for Charlotte and she began fanning herself because of how EXCITING it was. A GIANT SNAIL ON HER HEAD? YES!

"All the way up!" WOAH. And Davie would help her name her snail and it would be GLORIOUS! You could tell because even David was getting overly excited now. Char had that effect. Mostly on herself, but still.

SO cool. Everything was cool. Everything was awesome. And David was always a perfect audience for her, Charlotte appreciated him very much because of that. Oh and other reasons too of course.

"YEAH LETS GET STARTED!" Wow. This was the BEST. She'd forgotten pretty much everything that she'd been doing or why she was here or anything because priorities: Frankenmutantworm. She followed him into the grass, squint facing at the ground to try and spot worms.

"What do worms even eat? Just like dirt?" No idea, she had to ask the worm expert, clearly.

Charlotte fanning herself was ~~too cute~~ whaaaaaaaaat. No. It was funny, that was all. Davie ~~blushed~~ beamed at her and the EXCITINGNESS of her snail-to-be. He would do his GOOD DUTY as a best friend when her snail came in, and it would have the most epic name of all snails out there.

But for now, they were FRANKENMUTANTWORMING. Davie pushed aside bits of grass as he rummaged along, poking here and there at bits of soft earth that gave way to his fingers. Wormy worms, come out to plaaaaaaaaay!

"Earthworms eat dirt!" Davie answered excitedly, though also nerdily. He straightened up with a freshly-plucked worm in hand, pushing his glasses up his nose as he answered his friend. "They get their nutrition from things already in the dirt, like decaying roots and leaves, bacteria and fungi, animal manure, and so on and so forth."

Also, now that he HAD one of these manure-hungry worms in hand, he remembered... "I forgot a vessel to place our worms in."

Char got right in there too, headless of potential dirt or grass stains on her clothes because her mum would just magic them away anyways so what difference did it make?

"Oh, so its the stuff IN the dirt. I just thought dirt was dirt but mum said that stuff in the dirt makes the flowers in our garden grow better, so I guess its the same kind of thing." Some dirt was better than other dirt? Wait.

... wait.

"MANURE? Worms eat POOP?" THAT WAS HILARIOUS. Charlotte collapsed into giggles. Poop worms. OH THE LULZ.

But she could still be resourceful and awesome even through giggles. "Here." She took her sweater off and put it down flat. "Lets stick dirt in there, and make it into a pouch!" A pouch of dirt and possibly manure. Yesss. Before Davie could come up with any other ideas, Charlotte scooped up some dirt and dumped it in the center of her sweater. , piling it up good. AND LOOK, HEY. SHE GOT ANOTHER WORM AT THE SAME TIME! With Davie's that was two already! Perfect!

Aaand more giggles.

Because worms eat POOP.

"Yeah, the stuff IN the dirt," Davie repeated, having to remind himself to be a little less mechanical around his friend. "Same kind of thing," he agreed, to stop himself from launching into more of an explanation about everything he'd ever read about dirt's effects on the growth, development, and fertilization of plants. His mum was an herbologist, k?

So, back to the worm hunt. He found another wiggly earthworm and tugged it free from its dirty home, not grasping at first that manure = poop. Oh. That was why she was laughing. He paused to crack a crooked smile at her, watching what she was doing with her sweater. If that had been his sweater, his mum would have flayed him alive. But Char's sweater? She was just donating it to their cause! Aww. "That's brilliant!" Perfect! The earthworms would be snuggled by Char's jumper!

He happily dropped his two worms onto her sweater and then scooped up dirt to put on top of them. "We do need to keep them alive until the time of the experiment..." he mused, almost not noticing her poop!giggles now because he was so focused on his scientific task.

See, Char KNEW she was smart. She listened to things. Picked stuff up. Selectively sure, because there was WAY too many interesting things to see and do to listen for too long, but still, she knew stuff! She nodded emphatically, like she was so wise. Wise herbologist or wormwrangler or something, talking biz, you know.

"I know!" BRILLIANT. Using her jumper. Okay it wasn't a super warm day, so she might get a bit chilly later but usually that wasn't a problem because she kept moving a lot and never really slowed down enough to feel the cold unless it was really bad to start with, or she was naked in the snow or something.

"Yeah we have to be really nice hosts. Lull them into a... into a.... sake fence of security." She said solemnly. Not that she knew what a sake fence was, but she'd heard grown ups say that or something like it before so she thought she knew. A fence that was for... some sake? A fence for security's sake? Maybe. Keeping worms in a fenced in area to keep them safe? Right? That was the gist of what that meant.... right? Right.

She plucked another worm from the ground and transferred it to its new home in her fuzzy, dirty jumper. Now that her poop-related giggles were dissipating, she had some science questions probably. "If you joined two animals together at the middle and they had heads on both ends, and then they tried to go different ways, which one would win? Also, how would they poop? Also, how do worms poop?"

Brilliant brilliant! It seemed to be the word of the day. Davie picked up two MORE worms and added them to their collection. "Yeah, a fake sense of security," he half-repeated, half-corrected her without noticing. Davie was THAT keen on the worm hunt.

"They'd probably tie," he answered with a solid nod, scooping up a handful of dirt with a worm in the middle and slowly walking it over to her jacket. "Worms have a head end and a tail end. Their poop comes out the tail end. You can tell the head from the butt by which way they wiggle." He pointed at the ones on the jacket with a little grin. Hehehe. Butt. Butt was a funny word.

But... back to their task at hand. "How many more d'you wanna collect?" He was excited to get to the Frankenworming part.

Yeah! That was the thing she said! Charlotte nodded, immediately mentally taking all the credit there. Correction? Noooo Davie was backing her up! He did that a lot, he was a good friend. The bestest one and everything.

Tie! Wow. That'd be cool to watch. Charlotte liked SOME science things after all. And she liked to figure things out so that when it was dinner time and they all got to talk about what they did that day, she could tell her dad about the things she learned and SOMETIMES tell him things that he didn't even know! That was the best.

"LOL. Butt." Charlotte repeated. She had absorbed more than that though, really. Honestly. It was just that butts were funny because you could say butt and then if you got in trouble from a grown up, say that you were ACTUALLY saying but, and then give them the kind of look with the big eyes that made them feel TERRIBLE. It was real fun.

Oh how many more. Uhhh well she didn't know how many they had now but instead of stopping to count she just took a stab in the dark. "Four." She said decisively.

"What's Elohel mean?" Davie asked curiously, wondering if that was just a new sound Char made when she laughed, or if it stood for something. Anywaaaaay. Back to worm hunting. "Four. Okay. Then we can go to my place and sew them together and stuff!!" He was pretty sure his dad would be able to help out their plan. He, meanwhile, got right back down into it, digging up the wormy-worms.

"I don't know, our last babysitter said it all the time it when stuff is REALLY FUNNY though!" Charlotte said with her usual enthusiasm.

"Yeah! Are you good at sewing?" Or was his DAD? Because Char felt like it was probably the kind of thing that was better suited to asking dads, not because of the sewing, because of the worms. Her mum didn't mind worms and stuff but probably she would be sad about it if any of their experiments failed, and Char didn't want to make her mum sad. But Davie's dad never got any sorts of feelings, she didn't think- ONE TIME she had snuck up on him and yelled BOO and he just turned and looked at her and blinked like a lizard and not even jumped or anything at ALL.

"I'm excited!" She said, fanning herself and sending little bits of soil showering from her fingertips in the process. Excited enough that she'd forgotten about the NOW part, which was the getting more worms, and started deviously planning about the future with their FRANKENWORMS. It was going to be so cool, she could just TELL.

"I don't really ever have a babysitter," Davie remarked thoughtfully. Not unless you counted Grandpa from time to time or Uncle Robbie and Auntie D. He didn't ever see them, though, except at Christmas and that one time when they had a Halloween baby.

Anyway, sewing ~~noodles!~~ WORMS!! He plopped one last down on the sweater and beamed. "I dunno how to sew but MY DAD DOES!" Davie had seen him darning like a tent and a jacket and other useful items before. "Let's go!!!" He bent down to carefully begin picking up the sweater so none of the worms fell off.
