Shoes had been last on her mind, though she thought that her trusty, vintage Dr Martens went with everything. Though she'd initially thought about asking Charlie to do something extravagant with her hair, the third year had spent too much time on her makeup that she decided against it, and went with a flower crown from a dance show that she had just KNOWN would come in handy at some point when she packed it.

She'd lost her dormmates in the throng of people heading towards the games, but figured that it didn't matter for she was sure to bump into some friends here - and as if she'd summoned her with a thought! There was Cella Archer!

Pushing through some groups of people, Billie stopped by her friend and nudged her gently, smiling. It was then that she turned her attention to the food stalls that her friend was looking at. "What's a cranachan?" Billie frowned, leaning forward to read the word she was probably mispronouncing. But Cella was a genius, so she'd know the answer.

Ascella was just about to slip into her own spiral of thoughts on how she wanted to use her food vouchers on, when luckily she noticed Billie. Hey, it couldn't be helped when you think about a lot of things at once! All the tangents her thought process could potentially take! "Hi!" Cella beamed at Billie and gently nudged her back, only because the Gryffindor had done it first.

And the Hufflepuff was just about to ask about Billie's plans, when the opportunity to explain presented itself to her. "Oh, it's cranachan. It's Gaelic. Well, Scottish Gaelic." Cella felt the need to distinguish, because it was different from the Irish Gaelic that she knew. "A kind of pudding made of alternating layers of oatmeal and raspberries and whipped cream, and it's also got honey and whiskey stirred into the cream." To be fair! Cella didn't know everything about food — or anything for that matter, which is the beauty of learning as there's so much knowledge out there for nerds like her — but sometimes she couldn't help but research on what to expect from events like this. It was kind of a given that, being a celebration of Hogsmeade which is a Scottish village, there would be an array of Scottish food. So. Yes. And see, the research was helpful because she got to answer Billie's question!

"Did you want to try it? I don't know what to get." Cella asked, almost sheepishly.
