Every child in Wizarding Britain knows that Sugarplum's is the place to be. You can smell the sticky sweetness and bursts of flavour as soon as you walk through the door, the little candy themed bell, enchanted to transform into a different type of candy every hour, will tinkle merrily to announce your arrival, but we won't be surprised if you don't notice it, after all your eyes have a rainbow of delectable sweets to feast on.
Shelves among shelves of different types of wizarding sweets are ranged in aisles before you. The shelves stretch up to the roof and big glass jars display every type of candy imaginable. Can't reach? No worries! Just say the type of candy out loud and the jar will float down to you, ready to scoop out the required amount. Everything is labeled, so it shouldn't be too hard to find what you're looking for. There are a stack of baskets to the right of the last shelf - go ahead and grab one if you need it! There are four gumball machines near the exit to the sweet shop. If you have any knuts in your pocket that you are just dying to get rid of, why not buy a few gumballs with them? All you have to do is place two knuts inside the little slot, turn the knob, and watch as the gumball travels down the maze and to the little compartment at the bottom.
Once you've finished your shopping, you need to escort yourself to the check out counter located on the right side of the store. The shopkeeper can usually be found behind the counter, scooping and weighing sweets for the customers ahead of you.

The three Thanatos children were certainly role models in their own way. However, he couldn’t really help it but be most motivated by Vesper. It was definitely the extra effort she continually made to help him adjust and not be homesick. Perhaps being most motivated by her was his way of reciprocating the energies and time she put into him.
In Viano’s opinion, Vesper was more than capable of conversing with him in Italian, though sometimes she did use the wrong word and it left him momentarily bewildered by what she was really trying to say to him. The little guy grinned. “You and I are always in agreement about everything.”
“Do you need glasses?” Vi quipped in zest. “I’m the baby!” He too giggled. See? Vesper’s habit had rubbed off on him. Who knew how many more would. “Do you think it’s a good idea to let Vasco take over the sweetshop when he’s older? I think more of the chocolates would be eaten rather than be sold.” He was joking of course, and he planned to tease his adoptive brother about it at some point. “What can I say?’’ Vi continued sassily. “I steal traits of the persons I like.”
What else did he want? Viano shifted from foot to foot as he studied the displays. “Peanut butter and jellyfish and Chocolate dragon. It doesn’t have to be much. One piece is of each is enough for me…” Again, he was still adjusting to being able to get what he wanted with no questions asked. “Ice mice? Are they actual mice?” That possibility was quite disturbing.
Vesper saw nothing at all wrong with being spoiled. It wasn't like she was a brat about it and went around rubbing it in other peoples faces. She was always very humble about all the things that she had. It was so easy putting in the effort to make him feel welcome and like one of the family right away, because he was. Viano fit in with them perfectly. No one could tell Ves any different.
In times like those, Vesper was left fumbling for words or trying to describe what it was she was talking about. Sometimes in the silliest of ways that made even less sense that what she had originally said to him. "Of course we are! How can I not agree with a cutie pie like you!" She giggled, reaching out to playfully smush his cheeks.
"You are?! When did that happen?" Vesper smiled. Obviously she knew exactly when he became the baby of the family. "That's a good question, he does eat an awful lot of chocolate, doesn't he?" She would gladly get in on the teasing of their big brother with him. Cue big wide eyes and a fake gasp! "Well start stealing traits from me! We all know I'm going to be your most favorite," she joked, lightly ruffling his hair.
Nod nod. "You got it." Did he know what a good kid he was? She was definitely going to be spoiling him anywhere they went today. Viano's question about the candy being actually mice had Vesper giggling and shaking her head. "Nope, they only LOOK like mice.. but they do make your teeth chatter and squeak for a bit. It's fun."

It was for that exact reason that Vi aimed to be like the adopted siblings: none of the three showed off to anyone that they were spoiled. Papa Renner had done well raising them. The realisation made Viano wish that he had been adopted earlier. But then there was that saying. ‘Better late than never’ and he supposed it was true. He would have many more years with the family, and soon that would outweigh the small number of years he hadn’t been with them. Also, Vesper would be right; he did fit in with the family.
Whenever Ves would make errors or have difficulty with words, Vi would make it his duty to correct or help her. After he laughed at her for a bit, of course, because he found her mistakes adorably funny. And suddenly his cheeks were smushed together and his lips puckering a whole lot. “I’m the cutest!” Careful now, Vesper! Don’t let him get a big head with that compliment!
“Since birth,’’ Vi continued cheekily. But at the orphanage, he had been quickly outgrowing the other kids as younger ones joined the group. With his adopted family, he got to always be the baby unless someone younger than he was was adopted. “He does! He’s a chocolate monster.” This was said in the fondest of ways. “Well, you already are my favourite, aren’t you?” There was an angelic smile from him to accompany that hair ruffle.
Viano broke into a smile as his sister agreed to get him the fudge. He couldn’t wait to taste them! At her giggling, he even grinned, belatedly finding his question funny too. “That’s a relief. Imagine eating mice, of all things.’’ He mimed vomiting. “Interesting. We should get some then… you and I can chatter and squeak together. Maybe we can secretly slip Vasco and Vera some? Have them unwittingly join in on the fun…”
