He needed candy and he needed it now. He walked briksly down the high street in Hogsmead on a mission toward the candy shop. He pulled his green hoodie up over his head and pressed on. His sneakers crunching the leaves with every heavy step. His spirits were low and like a true junkie he needed the sugar high to chase the pain away and make him feel better.

He pushed open the door and a little bell went off somewhere. He grabbed a basket and zeroed in on the ice mice and the sugar quills. Next came the pepper imps and the jelly slugs. A maniacal light was ablaze in his light brown eyes. Then there was the Bertie Botts, the chocolate frogs and the Drooble's. His basket was weighing more than he was now, but still he wanted some fudge. He wanted some chocolate dragon and milk chocolate. He heaved several slabs of both into his basket.

After getting his fill he dragged his basket over to the counter to pay for everything.

Tyler walked into the candyshop, with a smirk on his face. Now that he was gonna be in school all year, he really didn't have to go home and his mom couldn't take his candy away. She had already taken his skateboards, what else was next? Anyways, he was here on a boy day out with his buddy, Jude. Now if the boy would at least show up now.

Rae walked into Honeydukes and let out a sigh of relief to know that she got to just go and indulge in candy. Her pocket was full of Galleons that her and Fletcher stole out of the Wishing Fountain. This would be one of the only times she never had to spend the only money she (stole) found on a place to sleep or food for the day/week. No worries and all candy, Jeeze these other kids were lucky to always feel like this... Rae looked around to what she could possibly want. She hadn't tried most of them, but she believed that she liked minty things and not particularly chocolate. Rae approached the counter with everything she had picked out. which seemed like a lot. She had 2 Coconut Ice, 2 Mice Ice, 1 package of Peppermint Humbug, 4 Sugar Quills, and 2 Acid Pops. She was certain that she collected enough 'wishes' from the fountain to cover that order.

Ah..Honeydukes. If there's one place she could live in forever this would be it.
Dianna entered the candy shop and immediately checked out the candies in store. There were so many! Droobles, Stringmints, Acid pops, Cockroach Clusters, Jelly Slugs, Bertie Bott's and so much more! She skipped in the shop looking for sweets to buy.
"One of these and this and this one too!" she took half a dozen of jelly slugs, a box of Every Flavor Beans, One sugar quill, a pack of Drooble's, and some yummy looking dark chocolate.

Alexandrie entered the Candy shop looking around taking a basket before grabbing 5 Toothflossing Stringments, 5 packets or boxes of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour of Beans, 5 Sugar Quills, and after debating with herself finally decided on buying a chocolate frog as well. She went up to the counter with these in her her basket and taking out her money bag, if she was right it would be around 5 Galleons for it all.

Aiden was basically dragged into Honeydukes, even though he wanted to go in there. Apparently, he must not have been walking fast enough. heheh. His eyes widened at the sight of all the sweets. Holy guacamole. That was a lot of candy. "How am I ever supposed to narrow down my choices?!" Licorice wands, Bertie Bott's, chocolate frogs, fizzing whizbees. Everything!

Patrick walked into Hogsmeade on a cool fall morning and decided to hit it off first in Honeydukes. He had never been to Hogsmeade, let alone any other shop in this small little town. Word was Honeydukes was fantastic so he chose to give it a go. When he first walked into the store the smell of sugar over whelmed him. At least this place wasn't jam packed yet. Sweets upon sweets lined the shelves on walls and aisles in the store. He spotted a face he hadn't seen in a while.

He wasn't exactly sure if he was going to approach him in a friendly manner or not but just went with being nice. "Hey Aiden," he said, walking up beside him.

Aiden was browsing over the various sweets, though he wasn't having much luck in making desicions. But the sound of his name caused him to stop his perusing, and he turned; the Gryffindor was quite surprised to see that the source of the voice was Patrick. "Hey Patrick," he greeted in return. Were they going to be cordial? At least they started off so.

At least their conversation was starting off nicely. Let's see if they could keep it up. "Been alright?" he asked, looking over at the shelf of candy beside him. He had to watch what he was eating. Too much sugar could lead to something worse and he really didn't want to feel terrible. He felt terrible mentally right now anyway.

Okay, this was already strange. "I've been better, but I can't complain." He turned his back on the candy he had been taking a look at so that now he could face Patrick fully. "Yourself?" Really, the two things that were sticking out in his mind about Patrick were related to Trixie and to Ella. It was difficult not to consider those subjects when looking at him.

"Not so great myself to be honest. I'm sure you know everything about what's up anyway. Seems I can't keep anything in my life private anymore," Patrick replied, picking up a blood flavored lollipop and thinking about Thalia. These were her favorite Wizarding sweet strange enough. He set it down and looked back at Aiden. This wasn't going to be easy that's for sure. The last time he had talked to him hadn't been fun.

No one could keep things too private. Hogwarts seemed to have too excellent of a grapevine system. "I know what you mean. I heard the gist of what happened between you and Trixie." Aiden's eyes remained on Patrick as he picked up some sort of lollipop. "What induced you to stupefying her, anyway?" He asked this calmly, but he still could hardly believe Patrick would do it. Even if he did have temper issues.

Patrick let out a loud frustrated sigh. God everyone EVERYONE knew about that now. This wasn't something he wanted reminding now was it? "I don't know. It was one of those moments where I was out of control of my own actions. She was driving me crazy. I honestly had no intention of stupefying her," he said to him, looking back at the candy and picking up a sugar quill. This would come in handy.

Well, at least he hadn't done it intentionally. Or wholly intentionally, that is. "Well, thank Merlin you only stupefied her." He must have heard this a million times, but he got himself into it. Hence, it was bound to be talked about. "So, I'm guessing you apologized?" Patrick may not even feel like answering, but he didn't really care. He'd ask anyway.

"Yeah thank Merlin," he muttered under his breath. He wouldn't have done anything worse, he knew that. For some reason stupefying people brought him back to Durmstrang in which he would intentionally duel people. That had always been great fun. Then he asked about apologizing. "I'm guessing you're right. Did I get forgiveness? No." It's not as if he expected it but it would have been nice.

Aiden was actually surprised at how far they had gotten without raising their voices even. If they had been having this conversation right after he had found out what happened between Patrick and Trixie, Aiden had no doubt that he would probably have punched Patrick by this point. "Not surprising," he commented, when he said how Trixie refused his apology. Aiden would have done the same. "She probably just needs time and then she'll forgive you," he added with a shrug.

"I don't really give a damn. It would have been nice to hear apology accepted though considering I have bigger problems to worry about," he mused to Aiden with a sigh. Bigger problems like the upcoming Christmas season and how he was going to figure out when he was going to buy that apartment. "Vanessa and Bonnie's mum died in case you didn't already know." That was the big problem on his shoulders right now.

All right, that sounded more like the Patrick Aiden was used to. Not that that was exactly a good thing. "Bigger problems, such as?" Patrick triggered the question by bringing up the whole 'bigger problems' part, so Aiden felt that it wouldn't be invasive to ask. But his jaw dropped slightly when he heard the last part. Their mum had died? "Oh, wow.. Poor Vanessa. How's she doing?"

Amy walked into the shop, letting out a huge gasp she stared around, staring hungrily at the huge range of sweets, she grabbed one of everything and took them up to the counter, can I have these please, it's one of everything, she totalled up the money and pulled it out of her purse

Abbi was staring into the candy shop and its colorful contents from the street with a slightly open mouth, that was the best candy shop ever!! Stepping into the shop she instantly walked around roaming the candy stands and their wonderful odor.

Rhea had totally lost Aiden in the crowd on the streets. One minute she was holding his hand the next he was no where. She figured he didn't know how to find Honeydukes so she spent her time searching every shop she could to find him. No luck .Sigh. She decided to go to honeydukes and hopefully he would eventually find her there. Shge pushed open the familiar doors and was greeted by a sight she missed dearly. Sweets! and lots of it. Shje knew exactly what she wanted though and headed down those isles. The familiar head back of her bestfriend caught her eyes and she hurried over to him.
"Aiden! I'm so sorry I lost you..I was looking everywhe...oh hi!" She stepped back a bit. Aiden was talking to a guy, must be one of his friends from Pentagon land.
"Sorry for interrupting I'll just let you too finish up." She started backing away up the isle.

For two minutes had she been inside the store and Margaret's small hands were already holding a bigger variety of candy than any eleven-year-old's hands should ever hold: three chocolate frogs, one box of Bertie Bott's Every Flavoured Beans, three sugar quills and now four ice mice. Mmm, those were particularly good. Now she just needed to get at least one of every other candy and, of course, one or two Toothflossing Stringmints, because, really, how could she eat more candy later if her teeth fell from her mouth? She couldn't that's what.

Turning around abruptly, she bumped against someone with a loud squeak. However, that squeak was hardly as loud as the one that bursted out of her lips when she found half of her sweets on the floor. "OH NO!" She bent down and began picking them up frantically. "Honestly, can't you see where you're going?!" She scolded the person that she had bumped against without looking up. Really, kids these days! Hmph!

Was it really any of Aiden's business to be questioning was his problems were? If he told him then Aiden would just spread the news to like 5 other people who would tell all their friend's. "I really don't think you have the right to know them," Patrick snapped with a sneer. It's not like Pat didn't have the right not to answer. "Yeah poor Vanessa. She's not so great really. Both of the girl's aren't doing so great."

Aiden turned to see Rhea show up. "No problem." He totally wanted to hang out with his best friend, but now that he finally was getting Patrick's side of the story, he didn't want to just leave right then. And Vanessa's mum's death. That was big news. "We won't be too long," he added politely.

He turned back to Patrick. "Sure, whatever," Aiden said with a shrug. It's not like he was dying to know everything about the guy. Ehh, no wonder Vanessa hadn't been around much lately. She's had this death to deal with. "I'll have to give them my condolences.." Unfortunately, though, there's not much one could do to make that sort of thing much less painful.
