"Probably would just be... too much."
Once he had a sprinkling of gummy bars, chocolate chips, and a couple scoops of marshmallow fluff, he looked to see if there was anything else he might want or if that should be enough. "I like chewy gummy bears, but I think they're a good mix with ice cream either way," he said with a nod. Candy went good with it. Oh, sprinkles? He looked up at the mention, and decided to add a few himself. "That's a good finishing touch." He stepped out of the way too and gave her a smile as she introduced herself. "Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Henry... Do you go to Hogwarts?" He was pretty sure he hadn't met her before, but she did look somewhat familiar the more he looked at her.
Nope. You couldn't put everything on top. Or could you? She guessed if a person was really dedicated, they'd find some way. She shook her head, though.
"No, putting everything on top doesn't sound really good. Actually, I don't think you'd even be able to taste the ice cream underneath all the toppings," she commented. So on that note, she was done.
"This is it for me." She grabbed one of the spoons from a tray on the bar and poked it into her ice cream. Pulling the spoon back out again, she took the first bite of her tasty treat.
"Mmmm..."
Then they were on to the introductions part of their conversation.
"Well, Henry," she said, walking away from the bar.
"You want to go get a table?" She didn't mean that to sound so straightforward, but they couldn't exactly stand up here and block the bar, could they? She nodded.
"Yeah. I'm a third year at Hogwarts," she said.
"What about you?" That was the obvious next question. As she took another bite of her ice cream, she stepped away from the bar yet walked slowly enough for Henry to catch up. Was it just her, or did he look familiar?
