Pretty sure I don't want that to happen again. Especially not here," Because there was a simple solution to that. Expulsion. Which he couldn't afford to get. EVER. He liked it here way too much and befriending Lex made it harder to leave.
Jun nodded. "I'll be sure to include it in my next letter to him. Maybe ask for gummy worms while I'm at it," Because he couldn't just eat chocolate all the time. It was tasty and all, but other kinds of candy were usually best at times. "Yes, completely legit," Jun grinned. And they were somewhere in his enchanted bag. He'll have to dig it out later for when they met up again. "Uh, I'll have to check again at the dorm. I'm pretty sure they're all different kinds. Not too sure if they have marshmallow in them though," He really needed to check now. Kai had better not messed up the chocolate.
Oh, good. The shopkeeper was finally here. And Lex was getting suggestions on what they should get later on. Most sugary things, please!

And the girl wanted to have a nice chat? Recommendations? Sapphira's interest dropped about ten degrees, and you could see it in her neutral face. "There's the list there on the table. You're welcome to choose whatever pleases you and your date." Make it quick, she didn't have all day.
Okay, so maybe she
had said she'd kill him but that would technically only have been his fault. No one sees a sugar addict on a sugar rush and decides to throw water at her. It was a death wish in itself! Lex would have pointed this out too but was stopped by his next statement.
"You ran around naked?" She asked, lowering her voice a bit but the expression on her face said it was probably the funniest thing she'd heard in a MONTH. Lucky for him she wasn't about to do some loud outrageous laughing but snickering was definitely happening.
"How long ago was that? How old were you?" The last might have been the better question. That was something she'd expect from her 4 year old sister.
Ooohhh!!
"Yes, gummy worms too, see if he can send some and maybe those jaw breakers too. Merlin I haven't had one of those in ages." The last she'd seen a jaw breaker was possibly the summer before her first year at Hogwarts, before she started spending minimal time around muggles and didn't waste as much time going into muggle candy shops.
The fact that he wasn't sure what KINDS he had didn't bother her too much. Candy was candy and even though he liked sour ones he must have at least remembered she didn't fancy them much so nothing to really worry about.
"We're just gonna have to stop by the Ravenclaw Common Room later and find out." Something to look forward to.
And wasn't the shopkeep a bunch of sunshine wrapped inside a sour face? Tut tut.
"I can read Ma'am, I promise. I know what's on the menu and we're gonna have most everything. Just thought you could have helped us decided the order so we don't keep calling you after we've finished every plate. It could get annoying you know, all the walks back and forth. It's great exercise but at what cost? Having to see two annoying kids every ten or so minutes?" Just some food for thought.
"And he's not my date. We're just on a date." Because that made sense.
