Having taken the suggestions of a few Hogwarts students into account, Maisie was eager for the grand reveal of an entirely new line of Honeydukes sweets. The boxes containing these delectable delights was still in the back room while she was busy cleaning the front of the shop that she SWORE she had just cleaned the night before.

"W'at? 'Ow?" she muttered under her breath as she got to feather dusting yet again. "W'ere did all zeese cobwebz come from?!"

Stumbling over her own feet yet again, Maisie went crashing into her new display and knocked it over. Somersaulting over it, Maisie landed on her bum, legs sticking straight out, and with cobwebs tangled up in her curly red locks.

Oh my goodness!

The usual trip to Honeydukes? Duuuuh. Adi needed to have his Chocolate Froggie stash replenished. It seemed that his stash had gotten over faster than usual but he didn't mind. That's why there was this awesome shop. He pushed opened the door with one hand, the other clinging to AJ's hand.

"... half a chocolate frog for you today, AJ,'' the Hufflepuff was jokingly saying. Then he was inhaling deeply. This shop always had the best smells for obvious reasons. Now onto the Froggies and then maybe he could get some fudg- But then he noticed feet. O_O It was hard to miss them when they were just jutting out like that. And he had an idea whose feet they were.

Adi led AJ over to them. "HI! See, I just knew it was you,'' he told the Honeydukes shopkeeper having found out about her clumsiness on his last trip here. "Are you alright?" He held out his hand to help the red head up.

Hogsmeade trips were the very best. AJ looked forward to this time of year every school term. In a few years this would be one of the few places she would be able to see Adi. The thought of him graduating left a pit in her stomach. No, she was not going to dwell on this now. The lion was going to live in the present and enjoy the time she had left with him in Hogwarts. Besides, who could be upset and be in a candy shop at the same time? Not this girl.

"Yeah right. What am I going to do with only a half?" AJ would have that snarfed down in a second. Holding on to Adi's hand she made her way into the candy shop. AJ breathed in deep and closed her eyes. It reminded her of how her mom's sweet shop at home smelled. This smelled like home. Before long Adi was pulling her off to the side and AJ opened her eyes once more.

Feet were not on the floor. Someone had definitely taken a tumble. It looked like Adi knew who it was, and was helping the woman up. "Do you need some chocolate to make you feel better?" They were in the best place for that after all. "Sweets make me feel better."

Oh no oh no oh no no no no!

Pushing her disheveled hair from her face, Maisie's face scrunched up and she shrieked in a tone rumored that only cruppies could hear when she saw cobwebs on her hand.

Jumping where she sat when she heard the voice of two customers, the shopkeeper tried to spin around on spot and whacked her elbows into the stand she had just knocked over.

"Pardon zee cobwebs," she whispered, her cheeks flushed, as the young man helped her to her feet. "Je vais bien. I am fine."

CHOCOLATE!

Back on her feet now - mostly, she was still wobbly in her heels - her eyes flew to the shelves that also had cobwebs strung about here and there.

"Oh no! Ze chocolat!" She spun around this time, nearly twisting her ankle in the process, and pleaded at the two with her eyes. "Can you two 'elp me? No mattar 'hat I do zey just keep coming back!"

"Admire it's chocolatey beauty,'' Adi joked with AJ. "Though I might reconsider and give you one.'' Emphasis on one. Jokes. He had them. "Or would a lifetime supply sound better to you?"

Adi stifled a laugh. This shopkeeper had A TON of energy! Which was fitting because she ran a sweetshop. He supposed she got high on all the sweety fumes. "Is your mother normally this hyper?" he asked AJ curiously since her own mom owned a sweetshop. Back to Maisie. "Is your elbow alright?" Cobwebs? For the first time Adi actually looked at the webby, sticky things. "Don't worry about it.''

His eyes followed the Maisie's, causing him to raise an eyebrow at what he saw. "Do you have spider infestation?'' he wondered out aloud. CHOCOLATEEEE? The Hufflepuff's eyes lit up at the word and it brought him to a question. "Did you get new sweets?'' he asked He had made a suggestion on one type he thought the shop out to have.

Help? Help was Adi's middle name! Actually, it was not. He didn't have one of those. "Sure! I wouldn't mind.'' He looked at his girlfriend, knowing she'd help too. "As long as I get a bargain with some Chocolate Froggies.'' Hehe.

Was it bad that her mouth was watering at just the sound of 'chocolate beauty'? Nope. It was better than she didn't get an answer to that. There was nothing wrong with her obsession love of all things sweet. One! SNORT. This boy was playing with her emotions. How would he feel if he was denied of the very thing that kept him going? Wow! That was dramatic. "A lifetime supply sounds much better." Now he was talking.

Come to think of it she didn't really consider her mom to be hyper. Definitely no where near AJ. "Not really. She's always happy and having a good time though." She was the type of mom to dance while cooking to make it more fun.

Her attention was back on the clumsy shop keeper. AJ really hoped that she was all right, and waited for her answer. Oh good. She was fine. Cobwebs? AJ didn't even notice until they were pointed out to her.

Oh no and chocolate being in the same sentence did not sit well with her. "What's wrong with the chocolate?" Nuuuu. What could she do to save them? Hurry! Seconds mattered.

"Help you with the chocolate?" One track mind here. "Sure, I'd love to." There was that mouth watering sensation again.

Janis was in awe as she walked around Hogsmeade. The eleven year old just couldn't believe that she was really here. She also had some money that she had been saving up for TWO YEARS, she was just so excited about being at Hogwarts. This was her first year and she was sorted into Hufflepuff.

OH MY GOSH! CAAAAANDY! OH MY GOSH!

THERE WAS CANDY! Like real candy! Janis wanted candy and she was going to get some candy because that's what she wanted. But her daddy always told her to not have too but candy BUUUUUUT her daddy wasn't here right now so she could have all the candy in the world or at least in this shop. She was sure that she had enough money to buy one of everything.

The tiny little badger with long bright red hair, dark brown eyes walked into Honeydukes and her jaw dropped as she looked around. her eyes didn't even know where to go. She was just blocking the entrance/exit right now.

So this was the Hogsmeade weekend that she had been hearing about. Of course, Keely had briefly seen the town when she got off the train at the very beginning of term, but now she could see what it was really about and if it held up to expectations. And so far she was still waiting for something exciting.

Still, it was nice to get out of the school for a little while and Keely veered away from the crown once she saw a few stores. The candy shop caught her eye first and she thought about heading in to buy some treats for herself as well as send to her little sister and her cousins. She had brought money to spend and that seemed a good place as any to start.

But she didn't get far enough to even see what the store had to offer because as the 16 year old opened the door to walk in side, there was a smaller girl blocking the way. Keely looked at her, eyebrows raised a moment, before clearing her throat to get the young girl's attention. "Excuse me.. you're blocking the entrance, I want to get inside." And she was probably letting all the heat out, holding the door open as she waited.

Oh the sweetness that is a candy shop. Janis just stood there, frozen and amazed. It was so beautiful and bright. Oooh! Look at all of the candies! What would she buy? All of it! One of everything. She wanted one of everything. She would be on a sugar high for days or months.

Throat clearing? A voice? Behind her.

"How ruuude!" The little southern redhead said boldly. Janis turned to the voice behind her and looked at person. "Can you not see with your two eyes that I am in awe here?!" The redhead didn't give the girl any attitude when she said that and she wasn't being mean, Janis is harmless, just a little kid that was taking in the view. "Look at it! Just look at it! All this candy." She sighed happily. It wasn't very often that she got to eat candy.

HOGSMEADE TIME!

His elder brother had promised to take her and Teddy to visit Hogsmeade, the only wizarding village in Great Britain. Yeah, she knew about that from her bookworm twin. Ava was very excited to be here, not only because she could see her sister but also the-10-year-old girl always looked for a new adventure.

Separating herself from her brothers, she absentmindedly walked alone around the wizarding village. Merlin, this place was soooooooooo beautiful! There are so many great places here like joke shop, Hog's head (that place seemed scary but it makes her curious what was inside), and........ CANDY SHOP!! Merlin's bald head, they had a GREAT candy shop too in here. She decided to enter Honeydukes and saw what kind of sweets that they sold in here. And maybe she could buy some too... Though there's only three galleons inside her pocket now.

Teddy was happily walking with his big brother and twin sister down Hogsmeade. They had come all this distance so they could see Zhenny, and all catch up. The family. Teddy couldn't help but smile. He missed Zhenny. The three of them were walking, until Ava decided to run off. Teddy knew where she was going. "Dima, Ava's gone to Honeydukes. Come on," he grabbed his big brother's hand and pulled him towards he sweet shop. Teddy was DYING to go in there too. After a few paces of walking, Teddy let go of Dima's hand, knowing his older brother knew where he was headed, and ran the last few steps to the sweet shop.

Teddy opened the door and entered, the smell of sweets hitting him in the face. He almost collapsed of olfactory overload. It was DELICIOUS! He opened his mouth to breathe in through his nose and mouth at the same time, and he could almost taste what he was smelling. Oh Merlin, he wanted it all!

Zhenya had been excited when Dima asked her to meet them in Hogsmeade. She had decided to stay at Hogwarts over Christmas because she needed to concentrate on her studies, and Sophia would probably drag her shopping, to dinners, to parties... distractions she really had no time for this year. But next year she would. She had walked down the main street, not seeing them. She had a few guesses as to where they might be, owing to Ava's obsession with sweets, and Teddy's asking her about what sweets they sold there. So, she wasn't surprised to see a little figure separate herself and enter Honeydukes, followed by another little figure trying to pull a bigger figure, giving up and running to Honeydukes. Zhenya laughed and called out "HEY DIMA!"

Fanning her eyes with her hands, Maisie took several deep but husky breaths. She alone was enough for a disaster for the shop without the addition of all this mess!

"Les araignées?" she repeated, slipping back into her native French. "I 'ave not seen any...but LOOK AT ALL ZIS!" She waved her hands wildly around her shop at the cobwebs. She was over exaggerating, just a bit, but when one was selling edible products like she was it was only natural. No one would want to buy fudge covered in web.

Or fudge with an egg sack inside.

Dropping her wand from her shaky hands, she STARED at the young man. "You would dare take advantage of moi?" she gasped, unable to pick up her wand from the floor due to trembling fingers. She was in a desperate situation here and he was asking for les Chocogrenouilles?! She would not be letting her precious chocolate frogs be used as a bartering chip!

Even if she was desperate and panicking and needing assistance to clean up quickly.

"OUT!" she said, thursting her finger towards the door and forgetting about her wand for now. "I will clean up toute seule."

Unless the girl wished to stay. She had not threatened her livelihood further.

Since his sister decided to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas, Dimitri Burton decided to visit her at Hogsmeade with the twin siblings. They're gonna come to Hogwarts next year so it'll be better to introduce them to Hogsmeade from now. Of course they are so excited, not sure it's because they had to see their older sister that they hadn't seen for a long time (yeah, Zhenya still refused to come back home and stay with Sophia instead) or because they would see Hogsmeade for the first time. Of course Ava and Teddy had longed to be in Honeydukes, the famous (and only) sweet shop here.

He told Zhenya that they're gonna meet at the main street, but it seems like the little wanderer Ava had left them and her twin brother knew where she's been going. Honeydukes, of course. Well, at first he thought that Ava would be found at Zonko's since she loves pranks so much. Entering the sweet shop, Dima found that his youngest sister was there, looked around in awe and so does his brother. Ehem, hope that they're not gonna rob his galleon just for sweets. He just chuckled seeing the twins admiring the sweets. Merlin, years ago he was just like them. Noticing that somebody called out his name, he turned back and saw her (other) sister. "Hey there, sister!" He smiled and hugged her. "Somebody's gaining weight, huh?"

She could flood this place by her saliva. All of them looks sooooooooooooooo DELICIOUS! She could smell the sweet caramel, chocolate, peppermint... EVERYTHING! Her big brown eyes scanned the menu... Hmmm, she could get 3 pounds of homemade fudge or assorted homemade candies. Then she heard her twin brother was already here. "Isn't it amazing. Teddy?" She spoke to him. "We should get the truffles and fudges, it looks yummy! Maybe we should buy some for Keenan too..." He brown eyes looked at Dima and grinned.

Oh, look! Her sister was finally here. "Zhenny!!" Ava waved frantically as she saw her entering the shop. She still wondered why she didn't want to come home at Christmas. In fact, she didn't remember if they ever spent Christmas together. Yeah, they. Dima, Zheny, Teddy and her with their parents, Dima's wife and little Keenan too.

Teddy was just turning slowly in a circle, his mouth hanging wide open as he tried to simultaneously breathe through his nose and mouth. In-CRED-i-ble. Ava spoke to him, snapping him out of his daydream. His little face lit up. "It's so much better than the Hogsmeade brochure said!" Teddy said excitedly, then laughing at what his sister had said. Truffles and fudges - YES! "Chocolate dragon fudge, oh that looks incredible. And I'd like some Drooble's!" He nodded, enthusiastically. Keenan would surely LOVE the fudge and truffles and everything else. Teddy couldn't WAIT to share it with his little cousin.

His head snapped around as soon as Ava yelled out to Zhenya, and his face lit up. He waved and ran over to give her a big hug. He really missed her. He wished she would have been home more with them. His parents had often told her that she used to live with them and take care of them, but he couldn't remember much of it.

Zhenya gave her brother a big squeezy hug back. It was so good to see him. "How've you been Dima?" she asked, ignoring his comment, though it did make her feel better. Gaining weight? More like skeleton! Studying all night and missing meals had made her clothes a little baggy on her. "The twins dragging you to the sweet shop?" She laughed, then felt her face light up as she saw Ava and Teddy. "Hey guys," she said, excited to see them. She gave Teddy a big hug too and went over to give Ava a hug, too. "Keeping out of trouble?" she whispered into her little sister's ear, jokingly.

Aha. So it was NOT every sweetshop owner who was this hyper. Adi suddenly ha a vision of a happy, pretty woman that was AJ's mother dancing around in her kitchen. Yeaaah, sweetshop people were the happy kind. Maybe he should open one too. Hmmm.

But back to the owner of Honeydukes. She looked so panicky about all the spider webs and yet... Adi thought she was SO beautiful. He liked her French too though he didn't really understand a word of what she was saying when she spoke the language. "You're very pretty,'' he blurted out to her, without pausing to think about what he was about to say.

What, what, WHAT?

Eyes widening slightly, Adi shot a look at his girlfriend. Ehem. "Just giving her a compliment,'' he muttered hurriedly before turning his attention to the webby task at hand. Nooooo, he wasn't infatuated with the nice red head. Hehe.

"Scourgi-'' the Hufflepuff began but was stopped short. WHAAAAAT? The pretty lady was chasing him from Honeydukes! NUNUNUNUNU! "I was joking!'' He had to correct himself. He didn't want to be thrown out of the shop! How else would he stock up on his Chocolate Froggies? See, Adi hadn't even waited for Maisie to confirm or deny if he would get a bargain on those Frogs because he didn't really want one. "I'll stay and help.'' And it had nothing to do with the fact that he liked looking at her

The 29-year-old guy couldn't help but eyed at his twin siblings (yeah, they are his youngest siblings, NOT his children. His son is still 3 years old) when they wanted to buy sweets for them and Keenan. "No sweets for Keenan. He's not recovered from his sore throat yet." And that's because of them (Ava, especially) giving his three-year-old son ice cream. Yeah, he was kinda overprotective to his son, even his wife said so. But he didn't want to see his son sick. But seeing Ava's puppy begging eyes (He always hated when she did that), Dimitri then let them. "Okay but, I'm gonna keep it until he's getting better. And don't buy too much, kiddos. You don't want to get toothache." He suggested. Maybe this was why some people thought that the twins were his kids. Well, the age gap made him act like their parents more than eldest brother.

Receiving a big hug from Zhenya, he stared at his sister. She seemed like she was lack on sleep and tensed. But she did look healthy at least. "I'm great. Yeah, this two minions dragged me into here and apparently they want to rob my galleons too." He chuckled as he patted Ava's head. "Also, Alana and Keenan sent regards to you. They have to stay back home because somebody fed my son ice cream and now he suffered of sore throat." He eyed the twins. "Gosh, I feel old." Because the last time he was being here, spending money to buy sweets and pranks was like... 13 years ago.

"Like Teddy said, you do look tense and stressed." The oldest Burton said. "You need to take a break, Zhenny." And by the break he meant that she should spend Christmas with them.

Chocolate dragon fudge? "Do they really have dragons in there or maybe when we eat them we can have a fire breath like dragon?" She was curious. "I want the peanut butter jellyfish fudge, and ice mice, and cherry truffles, and toffee!" She beamed to Dima. Okay, now she felt guilty because it was her who make little Keenan got sore throat. "I told him to get some warm water after eating ice cream, so he wouldn't get sore throat." She stated a defense statement. Also, it was Teddy's idea too to give their cousin ice cream. the 10-year-old girl stared at his elder brother with her big sad puppy eyes. It usually works when she wants him or her parents fulfilling her requests (though it didn't work with her mom anymore). "I promise to teach him drinking much warm water after eating." She put on her pinky finger. Pinky promise, hehehe.

Ava was very glad to see her sister. She still wondered why she'd never came back home. But Dima always bring her and Teddy to see her at Sophia's or like this... making an appointment outside. "At least mom didn't ground me this weekend, she didn't know that I punched a boy last week because he was mean to Teddy." She whispered. Ava mostly got trouble because she defended her little weak wimpy brother (what the mean boy said).

A newt? "You have a newt?" She absentmindedly asked. COOL! She always wanted to have a cool pet like corn snake, tarantula or iguana but her mother didn't let her to own that. Boo.

Teddy just wanted everything. "I don't think so..." he frowned, thinking about it. Was that what it really was? Fudge that caused the eater to breathe fire? He shrugged. Surely it would be funny anyway. "Perhaps we can get a small bit of everything, then we can try everything," he suggested, half serious.

Teddy was super happy to see Zhenya. "What's the best thing they sell here?" he asked his big sister. Surely she would know. She must come here all the time!

Zhenya smiled fondly watching Dima take responsibility of the twins. She wondered how her parents were doing, ageing, working, and taking care of the handful that was the 10 year old Burton twins. Mostly Ava. She has a sneaking suspicion Dima probably had them a bit. She laughed, nodding. "Well they want sweets. Here, add this to their collection," she said, adding two galleons to their sweets allowance. "How did you get here? Train?"

Zhenya smiled. She'd have liked to see Alana and Keenan, but if they were home because Keenan was sick then that was understandable. "I hope he feels better soon. I could have tried to whip up a potion for him." It was too late now, unless she could send it to him by owl, but he might be better by the time it arrived to them.

Zhenya frowned, unhappy that someone was being mean to Teddy. And it was naughty of Ava to punch a boy but... she whispered "Good job," to her sister anyway. She was doing it in defence of her brother, not to be mean and violent. "But guess what? When you guys get to Hogwarts he won't be bullied. There's lots of people like him there." Was that reassuring for the young protecting sister? She spoke up louder this time, because it wasn't a secret. "Are you getting excited? Only a few more months until YOU will be here, and I'll be meeting you in the village."

"I'm very excited Zhenya! I can't wait to see what the library is like. Is it really as big as Hogwarts, A History says? And are the Professor's nice?" Some of his teachers were mean. They would always take away his books and make him participate in discussions. He didn't like that.

TRY EVERYTHING! Merlin, her twin brother was so smart sometimes. Well, he is smart. “Dima, can we get every fudge and homemade candy?” She begged to her eldest brother. “Pleaaaaaaaase??? And don’t worry about the scary muggle dentist, we always brush my teeth before go to bed and after getting breakfast. Don’t you see that I have good teeth?” She grinned to show her older siblings how nice her teeth are. No cavities! Hehe.

The ten-year-old brunette girl smiled when her sister said it wasn’t bad to punch a big kid because he was mean to Teddy. She’s not that kind of bullies or naughty that love to annoy other kids (well, sometimes she pulled harmless prank). But when either she or her twin was getting bullied, she had to stand up and defend herself or Teddy. “Yes, I cannot wait for Hogwarts!” She beamed excitedly. In a few months, she would be a student of the greatest wizarding school EVER! Were the people nice just like what her sister said? She hoped so. “They still keep whomping willow, right?” I want to see that!

THEY WANT TO TRY EVERYTHING?

He gave a serious glare to both of them. Both of them really had a sweet tooth but then he did remember what his parents said: don’t let them buy too many sweets. And he didn’t want them to get trouble. “Guys, you don’t want your mom get exploded if she found you bring so many sweets back home.” The 29-year-old guy said. “Just… pick two kinds of them, the fudge and homemade candies. Then you can get other when we come here again, I promise.”

Dimitri refused his sister’s galleon. “Save it. You’re gonna need for yourself.” Especially that she decided to live with their cousin. “We came here by floo. Let them experience Hogwarts train next year.” He grinned. Still couldn’t believe that next year the twins would come to Hogwarts! Time flies, huh?

“You seriously don’t want to spend Christmas with us?” He asked.

”Yes, Zhenny. Come home for Christmas! We can open our presents together!” She really wished that her sister would be home. They never spend Christmas together, or maybe they had but she didn’t remember at all.

"Pleeeeaaaaase Dima?" Teddy added to his sisters pleas. "Yeah, we do. Dad always makes us brush our teeth. Twice a day. They check too!" The dentists never complained about their teeth, but Teddy never liked going to the dentist. He was scared, and always made his dad come and sit down with him when he had those sharp objects poking around at his teeth.

Zhenya laughed at the delight from the twins. "Teddy the library is FANTASTIC! And the librarian, Mr. Kitridge, he is lovely. And the Professors..." she thought about this for a moment, "Well, they're mostly nice. If you're good they are nice, but some of them can get a bit... mean if you break the rules," she eyed Ava, jokingly. She was sure she knew which houses the two of them would be in. Not the same houses, and not Slytherin, the house of her family members. Zhenya laughed again at Ava's excitement. "Yes the Whomping Willow is still there. You're not going to try and sneak into the Shrieking Shack are you?" Meh, she probably would.

Zhenya shrugged and put the money back into her pocket. Maybe she would buy some extra sweets and send them home to them for christmas. Zhenya shook her head at Dima, "I'm sorry," she said, looking at all her siblings, "It's not that I don't want to," though it partly was, "I'm so busy at school. I've got my final exams coming up and if I don't get the marks I need to get into the healing course then I don't know what I'll do. And I really need to improve on my Astronomy and Ancient Runes grades. I'm sorry. Next year though, I won't have school and I'll be back closer to London."

Teddy looked at Zhenya with a sad look. He felt sad. He didn't like that his parents had done something to upset Zhenya. He had overheard them talking about it one night, but he still didn't know exactly why she didn't speak to her parents. She lived with Sophia, who was really nice to them, but it wasn't the same. Especially Christmastime.

One second they were here to restock their candy supplies, and the next, they were getting kicked out. Well, her boyfriend was definitely getting kicked out. Was she involved in this mishap as well? Obviously the lady didn't know Adi's joking personality. If anything AJ was even worse when it came to that.

"But...but..." She was just about to come to her boyfriends defense when he opened his mouth and declared that he thought the shopkeeper was very pretty. It took her a few beats to fully understand what had actually came out of her mouth. Now, AJ was not a jealous person by any means, and truthfully the shopkeeper was pretty. Could she let him just slide though? Nope! That was grounds for an epic teasing session.

"I heard that little compliment," she said as she released his hand from hers. "I'm sure you would LOVE to stay and help, wouldn't you?" Man, it was hard trying to pretend that she was actually upset with him.

Walking over to the entrance, she opened up the door for him. "You heard the woman..." Don't laugh. Don't even crack a smile. "OUT!!!" AJ looked away for a moment because she was just about to lose it. "I'll stay and help her, and you can..." Umm.. what could he do? "I don't really care what you do." Just leave. Only she didn't really want him to.

Turning her attention back to the owner of chocolates, she gave her a warm smile. "Sorry about that." Picking up her wand, she pointed it at the nearest cobweb. "Scourgify!" This was how you got free chocolate, Aditya!

Excuse her? Keely gave the little girl a 'who do you think you are?' look as she talked back to her. "I'm not rude. I'm not the one blocking the doorway so no one else can get inside." And the girl still was, so she was still barely even in the store. But the girl's tone wasn't all that sassy, in fact she seemed genuinely excited to be surrounded by so much candy so the 16 year old wasn't going to be too hard on her.

Keely raised an eyebrow as she tried to look past the younger girl then back at her as she went on about all the candy in front of her. "That's just it.. I can't begin to see what is in here. I can't get inside with you blocking the way." How was this girl still doing that? Soon there would be a crowd of people trying to get in. "How about you take two steps to the side so I can see all the candy for myself." Keely gave her a very sweet smile. She'd admit the kid was kind of cute sort of like one of her younger cousins, but her patience only went so far.

Just two kinds of fudge and homemade candies? Well, she was quiet disappointed because she really wanted to take them all. Seriously. How could she decide to take just TWO? The ten-year-old brunette girl looked around and tried to decide. This was not easy, like when had to decide between focusing on karate or basketball. "Teddy, you pick one kind of fudge and candy and so do I so we can share." She suggested to her twin brother.

"Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
Catch a tiger by the toe.
If he hollers, let him go,
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe."

She sang eeeny meeny to decide which ones should she pick. "I'm gonna grab peanut butter and...." Doing eeny meeny again. "Dark chocolate truffle." That's her final decision. Dunno what Teddy decided but she had promised that they would share.

Listening to her sister's story about Hogwarts, Ava beamed excitedly. She really couldn't wait to be there! "You should tell me the other cool spots, sister! Or… maybe I’ll find it later." Little wanderer Ava, she always curious about the new places and loved taking new adventure.

Her brown eyes stared at Zhenya when she said that she wouldn’t be home for Christmas. She knew that there’s something between her versus their parents and the study reason just... covering that reason. "Zhenny, I know that you’re still mad at Mama and Daddy but… It’s not because of us, is it? " Was it because she’s too mischievous sometimes or Teddy was too annoying? "I even didn’t know that I have an elder sister until Dima told us, and I was very happy that I hope she would come home soon, baking me cookies, having match outfit or braiding my hair like usually sisters do." She always envied to her friends who built a close relationship to their sisters. But it didn’t mean that she wasn’t happy that Teddy is her twin, of course she was happy. But sometimes she really needed a sister to… teach her about girls stuffs that she was sure that Neither Dima nor smarty-pants Teddy would ever understand.

One of the great things about Hogsmeade weekends was CANDY, so of course Lux was going to buy loads of it. Hello, more Chocolate Frogs and other yummy goodness!!

Entering the store, Lux grabbed a basket and skipped right over to where the specialty candies were displayed. Maybe she would get a variety. Oh, and fudge!! Fudge was nice too. Eagerly she started piling Chocolate Frogs into her basket. This stash had to last her a while even though there were manicures and Cutty.

It was a good thing he was sturdy for the most part so when she shoved him, it was a stagger, two at most before he straightened with a grin still in place. "I'd still like if we got a move on it, especially with how crowded this place is getting." For real, where had that crowd come from and why were a bunch of Hogwarts students gathering?

Not something he cared to know so he tugged Ari forward and into the candy shop. Look at that, he knew where it was afterall.

His face fell again as he shut the door behind them. Ivanov. "No. Don't care what that man does with his life, don't care what makes him tick. He's not on my radar."

Not in his thoughts either. The moment he could drop Dark Arts he would.
