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.

What was that crowd anyways? Were things always this weird around this place? She didn't argue with Dax as he pulled her away from the crowd and into the shop. Man was it heavenly in there...it even smelled great. After grabbing a basket she started packing it with an assortment of things; things she had before, things she had never had before and things she intended to try.

"Dark Arts is compulsory it's not like you can get away from him. It would serve you swell to be able to get the upper hand with him at least some of the time." She said as she tossed a few lollipops into her basket.

She side eyed him as she continued to pack herbasket. "Take it from me."

And there she went bursting his bubble in true Ariana fashion as only she could do. Dark Arts was compulsory, there would be no escaping it, the whole nine yards. Dax made a face, drawing back a little to take a look at the packet of ice mice. There was this one kid in his common room who didn't believe they existed which was all the reason to nick one off the shelf and add it to Ari's basket for safe keeping til they got to the counter.

"Or he could drop dead?" Why was he the only one who realized this WAS an option. "Or he could quit and we could have someone else. There's no guarantee he'll stick around the entire time and anyway even if he does I don't care enough about him to want to know."

His mind was made on the matter. "Offer me some other news, this one's dead on me."

Of course it didn't surprise him that SHE would know things about the man, not with the way she liked ogling him. Honestly, what was the appeal?

Ariana gasped dramatically. It wasn't the fake joking one most people did. Hers was real. The look of horror on her face as she looked at Dax told him as much. How could he say something like that about the best, the most wonderful and the most handsome teacher that Durmstrang had. She wibbled at him before that sad pout turned into a scowl.

"I am most positive that he'll stick around and I'm even more positive that he will absolutely not drop dead. That's such a horrible thing to say Dax Sanders. Take it back!" Her hands balled into fist but she managed to keep them by her side.

"I don't feel like talking about other news right now." He was still getting glares for that horrible thing he just said.

Eagerly she started piling Chocolate Frogs into her basket. This stash had to last her a while even though there were manicures and Cutty.

The blonde just has three months and two weeks to go. She couldn't believe it. Currently six months pregnant and she was pretty big and it wasn't over with yet. Her baby boy was getting bigger and bigger each day. Wilhelmina was very excited to meet her little boy. Walking into Honeydukes she looked around. She wasn't much a candy person but she's been craving candy this whole pregnancy.

Willa didn't know what she wanted. Maybe something sour, maybe chocolate? Walking into a different aisle she saw all the chocolate frogs. "What would you like, little guy?" She asked her now noticeable baby bump. Willa waited for a little kick but nothing so far. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed a redhead. She never really seen too many redheads around Hogsmeade. "Lux?" She questioned.

Hearing her name, Lux immediately knew who it was. "WILLA!" Turning to her sister, she gave her a hug - well as much of a hug as she could manage. It was crazy to think how big she had gotten and there were a few months to go. She really wanted to meet the baby.

"You look amazing. I am so happy to see you." Lux wondered if she would be able to feel the baby kick, but she doubted it. Willa probably wouldn't want anyone besides Jaxson touching her belly.

She was right. She knew she was right but she currently had her response to what she candy she could buy. She rested her hand on the top of her belly where he was kicking. "Hi. How are you?" He asked giving her a hug back. Seeing the look at her sister's face was priceless when she saw how big she had gotten.

"I know I look amazing. I'm Willa Duchannes." Formerly Carrington but she was really liking the new last name and being married to Jaxson. She was head over heals for Jaxson. No one compared to him. She wants her baby boy to be just like Jaxson.

Lux smiled as she hugged her sister. "I am doing great! I am so happy I get to see you and Bay in Hogsmeade." Just not together because that probably wouldn't be a good idea even with her sister happy about being a mother. "How are you?"

Giggle. It was still weird to think of Willa having a different name, but she did like Duchannes; it suited her well. "So is the baby a boy? Or a girl?" She could have waited for her sister to bring it up in the conversation, but she was eager to know.

Willa looked at the chocolate frogs and gave then a dirty look. Since being pregnant she didn't really like chocolate. It wasn't really her that didn't like chocolate but her little baby boy that didn't like it. Oh, Bay, gross. She didn't need that kind of talk or negativity in her life. "I'm doing good and work is doing really well." It was going really well when the new teenaged employee's weren't stress her poor boss out. She needed to talk to Gavin about that. She knew a way to get those bratty kids in line.

Why was she talking genders? Oh! Okay! It made sense now. She hadn't told her the babies gender yet. "Jaxson and I are having a baby boy." They already had the name picked out but they weren't going to tell anyone yet. Willa was thinking about not telling anyone until he was born. She wanted to leave people at her baby shower with a little bit of a surprise.

Willa wasn't talking smack about Bay. Wow. Maybe she was starting to like him now that she was pregnant and super happy with the world! That made Lux happy because she thought everyone should love him since he was the best. "Are you going to work right up to the baby is born?" She was just curious was all.

"A boy! That's awesome. Do you have a name picked out?" She wasn't even going to ask what it was if the baby did have a name; she could see her sister not telling her until he was born.

Eeeep. She was going to have a nephew!!

Lux was so lucky that she wanted to be nice today and not mention anything rude about Bay. Ugh. She really was biting her tongue right now. She felt and baby kick and relaxed a little bit. The blonde looked over at Lux and nodded. "Yes I am. My boss needs all the help he can get with then idiot employee's his sister hired." Willa couldn't believe that his older sister had the nerve to do that to him.

"Yes, Jaxson and I picked a name but no one is finding out until he is born." Just keeping it a nice little surprise. She wasn't changing her mind about it either.

Yep, Lux was in a really good mood because she just knew that Willa approved of Bay. Maybe her happy relationship and son were causing her to accept their love. Smiling, she gave Willa another hug.

"Your boss would be so lost without you." She was sure that her sister thought that way too.

So the name WAS a surprise! Lux had thought as much. "Can I at least make a few guesses? For fun." Willa didn't have to tell her if she was right or not, she just wanted to guess. Hehe.

It wasn't as if staring at the candy displays would make it any easier to decide what to get, but staring he was. What hadn't he tried yet? Thornton considered each carefully, trying to recall what he had liked and what he had disliked.

Hogsmeade was really his only chance to get sweets, other than things that were just around the castle or that his friends were generous enough to share. Mother and her... insistence on not having sweets in the house meant that along with his actual education, Thornton's time at Hogwarts had also been a bit of a candy education as well.

Pausing near the Sugar Quills, Thornton tilted his head. Hm. He hadn't tried those yet, he didn't think. Absently fingering the money in his pocket, he wondered how much candy he could realistically manage to get.

Paige knew EXACTLY what she wanted. Not that she had a strict shopping list written out or anything because she was always willing to be flexible and inclusive should other sweets call out to her to purchase. But first, before she became easily distracted by the rainbow coloring of other sweets, to the Sugar Quills!

Curls bouncing as she moved, Paige ran her hands gently over the shelves until she happened upon a familiar and welcoming sight. "Hello, Thornton," she chirped as she leaned around him to pluck a few quills from the display. "These are my favorite," she informed, grabbing another one from the shelf to make her grand total of four quills. "Not to use in class, of course. It would be horribly impolite to take advantage of their appearance while a professor was working hard providing us with an education. They are nice while studying though. Help give a little burst of energy and all that."

Not that Thornton had asked for an explanation, but he seemed to be contemplating the confection, so Paige took it upon herself to help make his decision easier.

It was a big decision, this candy thing. So intently was he considering the sugar quills that he barely noticed his curly-haired friend until after she spoke. Blinking a bit in surprise, Thornton eventually smiled once his friend registered.

His small smile grew just a little bigger each moment that passed as she explained her like of sugar quills and her rationale for not eating them in class. They were... very different, the two of them. But Thornton counted her as his closest friend. "I think I'll try one, then," he said, with a definitively nod. One to try and then, if he really liked them, he could always get more. Maybe he'd try it before he even left the village so he could double back and get more.

"What else is good in here?" Since Paige seemed like a willing candy-guide, Thornton figured her counsel would be best.

Smiling at his excellent choice, Paige considered picking up one more Sugar Quill but eventually decided to put it back on the shelf. She was still trying to save up for a new owl for daddy for Father's Day and every sickle counted. "A wise choice," she nodded, her tone a force seriousness that had no other option but to sound giggly.

Thornton usually made wise choices, being a Ravenclaw and all. Except for the ones that made him sad. Those were the sort that perhaps he should have given a bit more thought. But Sugar Quills, she could personally guarantee, would make him smile.

"Well," she mused, her lips pursing while her tongue clicked lightly against the back of her teeth. "I'm also quite partial to Creature Feature Blowing Gum...mostly because of the owl trading cards. No offense to Chocolate Frogs or anything, but I prefer to collect them over famous witches and wizards. Creatures have always been a bit underrated in our history."

Striding towards the handmade candies, Paige looked over her shoulder while thrusting her finger towards one display in particular. "These I really fancy though. Something about homemade candies that just have more of an appeal. Knowing that someone thoughtfully crafted each one...that sort of dedication to their craft is really fascinating, you know? And Honeyduke's Coconut Ice is the best."

Although a bit pricey compared to others, so they were also rather exclusive to the Hufflepuff's budget and only bought on rare occasion. But...she might be able to purchase just one today.

Although one was hardly ever enough.

Thornton could not help but giggle along with Paige at her attempt to be serious about his candy choice. It really didn't matter what his mood had been before, Paige almost always managed to draw a smile. Unless, of course, it was Paige that was out of sorts. And if Paige was sad, well, whatever was going on with Thornton couldn't be nearly as bad.

Thornton's nodding turned into just sort of a head bob as Paige rattled off her candy preferences and the usually sharp Ravenclaw struggled a little to keep up. Following her gesture, and then following along with his feet, Thornton stood in front of the homemade candies. "Yeah..." he replied, having registered her comment about dedication. But really, they just looked tasty.

He pulled his hand out of his pocket and looked at the coins in his path, doing some mental math. He then turned and looked at Paige. "If I got a bunch of different kinds, would you wanna share?" He closed his fingers around the money and slipped it back in his pocket. "I'd pay. I just.. don't know if I'll like them all and it would be a shame for them to go to waste if I didn't."

Plus... they could hangout.

That was always fun.

Briefly making a fishy face for a moment, Paige released her lips from being sucked in as Thornton spoke. Well, when he sort of spoke. He seemed a bit distracted and she certainly had not been expecting a one word answer to all that. Probably best not to linger or point out that he seemed as such. History showed that just made the Ravenclaw more awkward and self conscious, and Paige was not one to push buttons for her own amusement.

Cocking her head to the side with a wide eyed curious look similar to the owls she often observed, Paige observed Thornton as he turned slightly away from her - although she sound of coins clinking against one another gave away what he was doing. "REALLY?!" she chirped while bouncing in place eagerly, her curls tossing this way and that with some falling in front of her face. "I can't let you pay for everything though. You already spent galleons on my for my birthday. This would just be too much!"

No spoiling the Hufflepuff, Thornton.

"At least let me at least buy you your first Sugar Quill," she continued, hand held out, open palmed, towards him.

Thornton grinned broadly as Paige began to bounce. Her energy was contagious and, recently, it was the only thing making Thornton really, truly, genuinely smile. "That was for your birthday. This is different. This is you doing me a favor." Sure, his personal spending money was a little limited, but he'd buy this much candy anyway and then, if he didn't like some of it, well.. he'd end up giving it away.

So why not just share it from the start?

He nodded, though, and set the sugar quill in her hand. "Deal. You buy the sugar quill and I will get an assortment of homemade candies." And then they could go eat them until they got sick. "Any favorites I should get extra of?"

Ceasing her movement while on her tip toes, Paige momentarily took on the appearance of a ballerina who had just forgotten the next steps in an elaborate dance. "Favor?" she questions as the soles of her feet found the ground one more. "I hardly think enjoying sweets in your company is an act of kindness beyond what is due or usual," she recited. Or was she assuming too much? The smile she wore and the way her eyes sparkled showed just how much she was actually concerned that she was wrong. "You're one of my best friends."

Which was all the explanation that was truly necessary. Best friends just did that sort of thing for one another. Nothing beyond about it.

Back to bouncing again, pushing up onto her tip toes and back down, Paige grabbed one more Sugar Quills for Thornton and looked around at the displays again. "Um....the nougat is good too, unless you are allergic to nuts...and the cherry-center truffles. I'm going to get a little bit of fudge as well. It goes brilliantly on crisp sandwiches."

Or was she assuming too much? The smile she wore and the way her eyes sparkled showed just how much she was actually concerned that she was wrong. "You're one of my best friends."

Which was all the explanation that was truly necessary. Best friends just did that sort of thing for one another. Nothing beyond about it.

Back to bouncing again, pushing up onto her tip toes and back down, Paige grabbed one more Sugar Quills for Thornton and looked around at the displays again. "Um....the nougat is good too, unless you are allergic to nuts...and the cherry-center truffles. I'm going to get a little bit of fudge as well. It goes brilliantly on crisp sandwiches."

Thornton's smile faltered ever so slightly when Paige's bouncing stopped and she questioned his choice of words. Maybe, somewhere, subconsciously he thought anyone who bothered to spend time with him was doing him a favor, but that wasn't at all a conscious thought. "I just meant I planned to buy a lot of candy and you'd be helping me eat it. It's less fun to sit and eat it all by yourself" The Ravenclaw grinned as Paige spoke, missing just a bit her concern about thinking she was wrong.

"You're one of my best friends, too, Paige," he replied, still smiling at his bouncy, curly haired friend.

As she rattled off her preferences, Thornton moved from display to display getting at least two, sometimes three, of each of the homemade candies. He was... gathering quite the haul and should the two of them eat it all in one sitting, a trip to the healer was all but guaranteed.

Worth it.

"Oh. Well, when you put it that way," she giggled, looking down for a moment to recount the number of Sugar Quills she held one last time. Yup. That should be enough. Perhaps more than enough, but that seemed to be the goal of the pair of them: to buy far too much candy. "It would be an honor to get sick eating too much candy with you."

Beaming at Thornton, the color rising in her cheeks so that they looked like two ripe peaches resting on her face, Paige waited somewhat impatiently for him to finish grabbing things from the display until she threw her arms around him in a warm Hufflepuff hug from the back.

Hopefully he wouldn't drop anything he had just grabbed. She had hugged him with an unusually amount of force for a small girl like herself.

"Thank you, for saying that," she whispered. "The best friend bit."

Who didn't like hearing those words? If there was someone, well, Paige thought that they must have a very very lonely existence.

"The honor is all mine," he replied, grinning broadly and giving a small mock bow. Grabbing the candy, and mentally counting the cost in his head, Thornton hummed a little. It was a good thing that he was so distracted by the candy itself, or he would have noticed the color in Paige's cheeks and her smile and... he might have thought about both those things longer than he should have.

But he was in a candy zone, and the concentration was only broken once she'd hugged him from behind. He took a small stutter step, but managed to keep hold of all the candy. Hufflepuff hugs were, in his estimation, among the best kinds of hugs you could get. Now it was his turn to go a bit bright in the cheeks and smile the kind of smiley that makes your eyes squint up. "You don't have to thank me for telling the truth."

Because it was true. Paige was one of his best friends. And if she did manage to let go of her cheerful yet forceful deathgrip hug, they could go on their candy buying and eating way.

Giggling and bouncing in place as she gave Thornton one last firm squeeze, bringing them close enough together that her cheek was pressing up against his gently and affectionately. "I know," she giggled, rocking the pair of them back and forth two or three times before letting go of him. "Just nice to hear said out loud sometimes, you know?"

Like having daddy say that he loved her. She knew he did, but hearing it when he tucked her in to bed at night always helped her sleep more peacefully. Which would maybe be why she had slept so horribly over the Christmas holidays. Had not heard those words for a while now.

"Let's go purchase these and head back to the castle?" she suggested, somehow managing to hold all her Sugar Quills with one hand so she could reach for Thornton's hand...or elbow...or some part of his arm to hold on to to lead them to the register.

Ok, wow, that was a lot of affection and Thornton's cheek was warm, though whether it was simply the actual contact or something else, he couldn't tell. But as Paige rocked them a few times, it wasn't a pressing concern. It was... really easy to be happy when Paige was around and he rarely overthought things the way he did with other people. It was nice. "Yeah. Yeah it is."

Since Thornton's hands were full of candy, he looked down at Paige's attempt to hold on and jutted out an elbow to let her link her arm through his. "To the register," he said brightly, walking that way with her. "And then we can go find a spot to eat."
