Madam Puddifoot's is laid out in a typical English tea room fashion. Lace doilies cover each table on top of the flower patterned table cloths. In the middle of each is a contained candle, ready to be lit for those on a romantic retreat. The windows are half covered by fancy net curtains, leaving just enough room at the top to see over and down Hogsmeade's High Street. Little flower and heart covered cushions are on each seat awaiting your arrival.
The shopkeeper, a descendant of the original owner, keeps the shop this way because she has to. She has no desire to look upon all the fancy decorations herself, which is why you'll most likely find her in the back room. She'll come and serve you when you ring the bell on the counter, but make sure you know what you want to order as she doesn't have all day. Keep your snogging to a minimum unless you want to be kicked out.

Don't worry dads. Your daughter wasn't here because she was on a date nor was she even kind of sometimes having little day dreams about what it might be liked to be asked on a date. IF she were to be asked on a date though, for the record, she would hope that her potential future asker would know not to take her to some candyland doily place like this. Somehow it smelled sweeter in here than Honeydukes.
The things a second year had to suffer to get some rice pudding and a nice cup of tea though. Honestly. It was almost like there wasn't a kitchen back at the castle with house elves willing to do your every bidding.
Tugging on the sleeves of her bright orange jumper after taking off her coat, they had become all scrunched up in the process, Sage placed her order and was now en route to finding herself somewhere to sit. She wished Bailey had tagged along with her and she felt like she was missing several limbs and half her brain with her twin sick back in the dorms, but it also gave her the excuse for a little extra shopping so she could bring some goodies back to her sister.
But...for now...where was she to sit...
She could insert herself at one of the tables where people were clearly on a date...just to see what would happen...
Now OBVIOUSLY Reuben Albert Darcy-Stemp would not be caught DEAD in the frilly teashop. Not usually, anyway. But when he saw the back of Sage's head, he couldn't help but follow her in, not really taking much note of the outside of the shop as he went.
When he got into it, he slowed suddenly. "Woah." It was all.... Gross. And so girly, with lacy stuff everywhere and couples being all couple-y. It was all he could do not to physically shudder at the sight! Merlin, what was he even doing in h- AHA, Sage!
That was why he'd come into the teashop. Following Sage! But not in a creepy way, just in a spotted-my-friend way.
Dodging around the couples being couple-y (and trying his hardest not to BARF ALL OVER THEM), Reuben popped up in front of Sage with a wide grin. "Hiya!"

Not to mention that Nads could always be counted upon to go along with Dy’s schemes.
“You said it, not us,” the Hufflepuff remarked just as innocently. She finished up her first crumpet, quite neglecting to wipe her buttered lips as she reached for the second. “I hope Zonko’s has new products! Dad Adi would love that!’’ Her eyes gleamed. “Think you two would be up for pranking him when we go home for the holidays?” Come on, siblings! Be good sports!
Pranking their dad…that would sure be great welcome to the man after missing the two girls for once. “I think you two are better off on your own in that…” Raj remarked to the negative with a shake of his head. “It’s more suspicious if I get involved.” Since he wasn’t nearly as practiced as they were in being sneaky. Not that he would rat them out. Nope, his lips would be sealed with whatever they came up with to announce their return to the fold.
Oooo new products to test out. That got Nadia’s curiosity raised. “YES! ” she agreed with a smirk. “I’m in.” The Gryffindor wondering just what they could do. The prankster was the best to try and get back at for the fun of it. “Awww…but he’d never suspect it because you would be involved.” Raj wouldn’t be believed as one of the pranksters.

There was truth to Raj’s words: it was true he wasn’t as good at pranks as she was but did this prevent Dy from continuing to pull her older brother’s leg? Not at all. “You,’’ she began, brandishing the crumpet at him. “Are afraid of getting caught.” The Hufflepuff then proceeded to take a bite of her snack while casting her sister another wink. One of Dynah’s hobbies was definitely giving Raj a difficult time.
But she could always count on sister loveliest! “I’m sure we can easily brainstorm something if we put our heads together!” Her eyes suddenly widened. “Nads, that’s a brilliant point though!” Awesome brain, twin! “Why wouldn’t you want to join us, Raj? Has your love faded for us from the time of getting our snacks to now?” Excuse her while the girl made cute puppy dog eyes.

Rajesh raised his eyebrow at the threatening crumpet. He was almost attempted to try and bite it to see his sister’s response, but her words distracted him. “Am not…” he was quicker to defend, sipping from his glass. There were plenty of things to be more worried about. It came as no surprise that Nadia was in with the plan, the two of them were two peas in a pod and partners in all sorts of prank crimes over the years. And then she blew up his defense about not being involved being more beneficial to them and the prank in the long run which her sister only agreed with.
“You’re not supposed to pick that up…” he mused shaking his head. They was too smart for HIS good.
“Never and you know that,” the Ravenclaw remarked, knowing they would have to do something absolutely terrible and abhorrent to even be threatened to lose his love. His gaze looking off to the side as he also knew the puppy dog eyes directed his way. First from Dy and then from Nads. Their parents might claim it otherwise but he’s occasionally spied certain looks between them that worked the very same way, especially Dad’s. It was too powerful two on one.
“Fine…” he said, giving in eventually, “just don’t blame me if it goes wrong.”
The response gaining a smirk from the Gryffindor. "Of course not," Nadia assured him, exchanging a knowing look with her other half.

Dodging around the couples being couple-y (and trying his hardest not to BARF ALL OVER THEM), Reuben popped up in front of Sage with a wide grin. "Hiya!"
For the briefest of moments, Sage found herself wondering if either of her dads had asked the other on a date here...but as soon as the thought had crossed her mind, she realized that she did not want to know the answer nor did she desire such a visual. The googly eyed couples were more than enough to make her regret breakfast. Uncle Zachaël surely had too. They all were extremely the type.
Her mind preoccupied with the mental gymnastics as to whether or not a cup of tea would kill her and her coin purse or not, the Slytherin jolted upright and kicked forward with a sharp DING against one of the legs of the table as she was joined by a very welcomed face. Welcomed, appreciated, but maybe a bit cliché and suggestive considering their current gag worthy company. She did not anticipate either of them making any serious fluttering eyelashes at one another so she could disembark from that train of thought immediately. Hopefully her twin would not walk by the front, peek in, and come to her own conclusions.
"Reuben, hey," she greeted with a smile as she relaxed her shoulders and eyes lit up just a bit more as suddenly her coin purse felt less endangered - it wasn't like she was earning an allowance while being at Hogwarts. "Let's go halfsies on something and NOT spoon feed it to one another because we aren't peculiar."

Dy gave an almighty sniff as she finished up her crumpet and milk. Her little stomach was full now and she was quite ready for the next adventure of heading off to Zonko’s. But her expression turned soft as she eyed Raj again. Maybe she and Nads were teasing him a little too much. He probably wasn’t afraid of getting caught; in any case, their parents were quite cool, they weren’t the type to blow up over some prank.
“Fine, I do know!’’ Nads knew it too. Dy threw a triumphant look at her sister. YAAAS!! They had won! “Are you kidding? With Nads and I as the brain of the prank, nothing can go wrong.” Could she get a high five, sister? Don’t leave her hand hanging in the air. “Are you guys done eating? Zonko’s awaits!”

Rajesh made himself relax, realizing he may have gotten a little wound up. “Good…” he mused smiling at Dy as he dusted off any crumbs to show he was okay…that they were okay. The seventh year nodding at her question. Yep, he was done and about ready to go on to their next stop as he could be. He got up to his feet and threw out their trash before coming back up behind his two siblings, putting an arm behind each of them. “All together now..."
Nadia wrapped up her leftover treats, stashing them in her bag. “Right…we’ll have it all covered,” she added, giving her other half the silently requested high five. “All ready,” the Gryffindor assured, moving to follow Raj up to their feet. Feeling the arm behind her, the first year found herself leaning slightly in his embrace for a moment enjoying the closeness. "Let's go!"

And it suddenly clicked. Raj was a teddy bear! How had she not noticed this before? He was usually all serious but behind that, he was a softie. Just like papa Benny. With that realisation spinning in her mind, she finally wiped her buttered lips clean, just in time to add it to the trash pile before Rak took it away. Look at him taking care of them! Who was going to do that next term?
Following Nads’ lead after the returned highfive, Dy hopped out of her seat and threw herself against Raj’s side. “Yep, let’s go! My stomach’s all full - for now - and I’m ready for us to find the best prank!” This was going to be the most epic teamwork these three had ever done! It was with much eagerness that she followed her siblings out into the street once more.
