Default Sugarplum's Sweet Shop


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.

Ewan really was awed sometimes by the family that the children at Hogwarts have everywhere around the world, even him, himself, with his newly acquired family in Canada. “My summer has pretty amazing so far, thanks. I’ve just spent it with a few friends and then I’m flying back home to Canada” he continued, a wide grin on his face now as he started to talk about Canada and his family out there. They really did change his life last year.

With a small nod, he put down the chocolate frog he was inspecting and picked up another, his eyes trying to divine what card there would be inside. “I only really have a small collection of cards to be honest but I do collect them” He really didn’t eat all that much chocolate which didn’t really help when collecting the cards. Even the frog he planned on buying today was for his Aunty and not him but he figured she’d let him keep the card “I’m guessing you collect them?” Most people at Hogwarts seemed to be collecting them. Yet another thing he couldn't exactly talk about to the guys at Hogwarts.
Sugarplums was one of the best shops in Diagon Alley without a doubt. It surpassed the quidditch, bookshop and creature shop without even trying. Who couldn't love all sorts of candy? Cole confirmed with grin to Ewan "Yes I do. My grandparents on my stepmother's side live there. It's nice to swim in the ocean, have you ever done that?" Learning how to swim though hadn't been the easiset for sure, but Cole had mastered it after many big swallows of cold water. "Canada??" he repeated amazed and baffled "You live in Canada?, that's wicked!" Because it was cool. Cole didn't know that many friends that lived outside of Britain.

Ewan's lifting and putting down chocolate frogs was a little weird. Cole nodded vigiriously as he replied "Yes i do. I've got about 150 cards or so." You couldn't discern what card was inside the pack without opening it, could you? Cole had already chosen his handful of frogs so he asked instead to change the topic. "So are you in any of the clubs at school? I'm in the art club and quizbowl aside from quidditch and chocolate card collectors."

Chocolate and some new drawing pencils before the new term, since she’d already been resigned to the fact there likely wouldn’t be an art studio at Hogwarts quite as amazing as the one they’d been able to use at Beauxbatons. She still had her paintings she’d done in France, aside from the few she’d copied for her sister and Nora’s use, but back to chocolate…and the distraction that seemed to appear almost as soon as she’d stopped near the fudge. The voice that was awfully familiar, that belonged to the person she’d felt all sorts of complicated feelings for and still now, even after a talk with her sister. A talk that had also included the revelation that Headmaster Trent apparently trusted them with responsibilities. And Quidditch, as usual.

But back to the complicated part, as she turned to face Eron, hoping he hadn’t noticed the brief moment when she’d been startled by his greeting. “Hey Eron…are you shopping for sweets too?,” she asked, flushing the tiniest bit as her gaze kept flickering to a spot just below his own eyes and nose.

Definitely complicated.

Carys' presence definitely lit up the entire store... well, at least for Eron. He has this dorky smile plastered all over his face when he spotted her. They haven't really met the whole summer because she was busy with quidditch and he was busy travelling. He also wasn't able to send her any letters because he forgot to ask. He still hates himself for not asking her that before the school year ended. So yes, he missed her.

His eyes gazed closely on Carys. He can't help but stare when her cheeks slightly turns into rose pink. Her mellow yet sweet voice echoing through his ears. Eron shook his head trying to snap himself back to reality. Clearly Carys asked him a question...

FOCUS, Eron. Focus.

"Y-yes" he stuttered as he moved his body towards the counter/shelf with all the sweets. Trying to look like he wasn't distracted at all. Must-not-act-weird-in-front-of-Carys. "I'm buying a big bunch. My sister likes to experiment on baking" he shared before turning his head and looked at her once again "How about you?"

Honestly, up until his first year in Hogwarts, Ewan had never actually left Wales, let alone flown to a different country and swam in the sea there. His Dad really had done amazing things with the budget they’d been on before he died but he was no wizard. “No, I haven’t but I bet it’s pretty amazing out there” he replied, a smile on his face as he imagined the white sandy beaches and the warm sea. Something that he did not often see out in Canada. Or at least the part in which he currently resided in. “Yup, I live with my Aunt out there at the moment and help her out with her farm” The farm really was an amazing place and working there was hardly what you would call ‘work’ but more of a hobby. It would only get better too if he could somehow manage to convince Jordy, his Aunt’s boyfriend, to invest in some magical creatures but as of yet, he hadn’t been able to do it.

“150? That’s quite a collection” he replied, not at all really surprised that he’d have such a substantial collection. After all, most of the children who grew up in the wizarding world would have started collecting them at a young age or even inherited them from their parents. “Clubs? Not really. I mean, I guess I have a running club of one?” laughing a little now as he continued “I go running every morning and sometimes, people join me. You’re more than welcome to sometime if you ever feel up to it. Never know, it might help you with your Quidditch” Although it most certainly had never helped him get onto the house team. All he’d ever managed to do was to make the reserves, which in all fairness, really wasn’t that bad.

Finally deciding against buying a chocolate frog, he placed it back down on the shelf, unsure if this would be the kind of thing his Aunt would actually want. Sure, she was doing well with all the wizarding things he’d told her about but best not to push the boat. Maybe some of the muggle chocolate at the airport would suffice. “I’m going to go have a look in Flourish and Blotts, I’ll see you in school, yeah?” his feet taking him to the door now, eager to get the last of his school supplies before he headed off back to his hotel and then to the airport. Sure, muggle transport would take longer but it was so much more fun than a portkey.

Had the events at the end of last term not happened, Carys wouldn’t have thought she’d have missed him. Namely, until then, Eron had mostly been known to her as her sister’s friend, but things had changed and she had missed him. Granted, there had been that trip he’d taken with her sister over the summer that she’d known about, and Carsyn rarely went without speaking with her for too long so there was that. But she hadn’t heard from him, and she had missed him. More than she’d expected to and that was why she was co conflicted by it all. Because she didn’t know if it was reciprocated, even knowing he’d had that discussion with her sister, and it meant she felt awkward about certain thoughts.

Thoughts that she didn’t know if he’d figured out. The awkwardness seemed to be normal, but the hatstall part of her mind wanted to know what he was thinking. The conversation, when it continued, didn’t make it much clearer, either.

“Mostly just for myself. I mean, I need to stay in shape for Quidditch, but I can’t go without chocolate entirely,” she replied honestly, reaching over and past him for a couple dark chocolate truffles, unknowingly shifting closer in the process. There was a reason it was one of the smells Amortentia took on for her, after all, but the latter half of his statement distracted her. “Your sister bakes too?”

Eron had this bashful behavior around Carys and at one point it didn't make sense to her because he always figured that his logic brain was more dominant than his emotions. That, or he was looking all sorts of excuse with the fact that he liked her that much. He is aware of it, he knew that but subconsciously when he looks at her it was like he wasn't himself. For a moment that he stared at her, his cheeks turned pink as well. Obviously, he turned away and tried to calm himself down.

It was silent right now because neither of them had anything to say. Carys' shyness was something he came to like and adored. So it was somehow his duty to break the ice but then the fifth year Hufflepuff has always rendered him speechless. "How..." he opened his mouth to speak up. "H-how was your summer?" there you go, ice breaker.

He stood still as Carys got nearer to him. He was silent for a bit. Then he began to pick up the chocolate truffle in front of him and smiled. "That's noted." he uttered under his breath when she spoke about liking chocolates. "You shouldn't worry about staying in shape if chocolates make you happy" Chocolates are delicious. He loves them too. "Yes, my sister is the chef of the family..." he spoke. He wanted to continue with 'after my mother left' but that was a story for another day. "In your family it's Carsyn right?" he added.

Being the son of Julian Primeaux meant you should be on your best behavior and not do anything that could get the former charms professor upset, but this was something that Elias never really worried about. So when his dad said he was just stopping off a Gringotts and that Elias should stay right there near the door while he was in, but of course when he went into the building that was Elias' chance to get out and find something else to do.

The twelve year old found himself headed to the candy store, happy that he had went into his brother's room and took money from his hippogriff bank. Now he was just going to see what he could buy and head back to the spot his dad left him.

Though as soon as he entered the shop all thoughts of his dad left and all he could think about was the amazing sweets in front of him.

Catherine wasn't as big on sweets as her siblings were, but that didn't mean she hated treats. It wasn't usual for her to wander into a sweet shop on her own, though, but this time was different.

Maybe it had been the extra colourful display window this time, she wasn't sure, but the Ravenclaw found herself inside the shop, looking at the transparent lollipops and fluffy marshmallows she probably wouldn't even buy.

She frowned a bit, wondering if that had been some weird psychological thing one of her siblings did to her and now she was in there, interested in bright colours. That wasn't very much like her. Maybe Noah slipped something in her drink. Maybe Scarlett spat in it (gross girl).

Another thing that never ever happened to Catherine was bumping into people for being too distracted lies. That did happen that day, however, and she found herself turning red because of that, and avoiding eye contact with whomever it had been.

Merlin, what a day already. And she hadn't been in Diagon Alley for more than a few minutes!

What was he going to get? Elias just kept looking at everything and going up and down aisles like he was in a race, but picking up nothing. He couldn't decide, there were so many choices, maybe this was why his parents always did the shopping. Could old people pick better than he could?

Nah

He just wanted it all and knew he couldn't afford it all, but as he rounded the bend there was a girl and there was not stopping her or him from running into each other. "Sorry, didn't see you, too many things to look at." He rubbed his head like he was exhausted. "Boy, who knew a candy shop could be this tiring. Have you picked anything yet?" Maybe she could point him in the right direction.

Not only had Catherine bumped into someone and probably looking really silly, now the person she bumped into was talking to her. She considered completely ignoring him and walking the other way, but she had manners and knew she shouldn't do that. Having manners was a good thing, but half the time it was rather inconvenient and Catherine really disliked having to do what was the 'correct thing'. Like right now.

The boy talked a lot and she momentarily considered just staring at him to see if he'd keep talking on his own. But he didn't, he actually asked a question. And Catherine recognised him from Hogwarts. A Gryffindor, too. No wonder. She gave him a suspicious look when he said how 'tiring' the sweets shop was. What even did he mean by that? Tiring? Probably because there was so much to see and so many isles to look through? She studied him a bit more and concluded he was probably the type to rush around and tire himself out in a shop like that. Hm. Fine, it made sense after all.

"No, I haven't." She replied, deciding it was pointless to apologise because the conversation had moved on by now and it was much easier that way and she didn't mind him taking all of the responsibility for what had happened. Besides, who was this boy anyway? She didn't have to tell him whether she had picked something up or not, or who is was for, or how much she even planned on spending there that day. Catherine turned to whatever shelf was next to them and pretended to look through it. What she was really doing, however, was staring at the boy from the corner of her eyes, as if trying to work him out.

He was a Gryffindor, she remembered that bit, but was it just her or was he more familiar to her than the average Gryffindor? Maybe he was Noah's or Cecelia's friend? Those two had way too many friends, it wouldn't surprise her if she had seen them with this boy before. Still, that didn't give him the right to know her business.

Skipping into Sugarplum's she looked happily around, she really did feel like a kid at the candy store. Of course she been here before with her big brother but this was different now, she was alone and didn't have him picking on her. Looking around she seen that there was so many choices, what to even pick! One thing for sure, she wanted some chocolate frogs for sure, that was a must! Grabbing a basket from the front she headed towards the section where the chocolate frogs were.

Grabbing a handful she put them in her basket before biting hef lip and looking around some more. There were quite a bit of people and she was a bit shy until she gotten to know someone. Ooh... there was her favorite kind of fudge here peanut butter chocolate, but the only problem was she was too darn short to reach it! Biting her lip she stood on her tippy toes trying to reach it, she knew she should ask for help but she was too shy and stubborn too. Jumping up she tried grabbing some, almost have it... just alittle but more. "Uh...Oh..." she though as she fell back.

Having manners was a good thing, but half the time it was rather inconvenient and Catherine really disliked having to do what was the 'correct thing'. Like right now.

The boy talked a lot and she momentarily considered just staring at him to see if he'd keep talking on his own. But he didn't, he actually asked a question. And Catherine recognised him from Hogwarts. A Gryffindor, too. No wonder. She gave him a suspicious look when he said how 'tiring' the sweets shop was. What even did he mean by that? Tiring? Probably because there was so much to see and so many isles to look through? She studied him a bit more and concluded he was probably the type to rush around and tire himself out in a shop like that. Hm. Fine, it made sense after all.

"No, I haven't." She replied, deciding it was pointless to apologise because the conversation had moved on by now and it was much easier that way and she didn't mind him taking all of the responsibility for what had happened. Besides, who was this boy anyway? She didn't have to tell him whether she had picked something up or not, or who is was for, or how much she even planned on spending there that day. Catherine turned to whatever shelf was next to them and pretended to look through it. What she was really doing, however, was staring at the boy from the corner of her eyes, as if trying to work him out.

He was a Gryffindor, she remembered that bit, but was it just her or was he more familiar to her than the average Gryffindor? Maybe he was Noah's or Cecelia's friend? Those two had way too many friends, it wouldn't surprise her if she had seen them with this boy before. Still, that didn't give him the right to know her business.
She didn't know what she was getting, which was okay, but Elias was hoping to get some ideas, but he had to think on his own and did everyone not realize that was exhausting? Why couldn't she just have given him an idea that he could have seen if he wanted or not? When she turned to look at the shelves Elias turned the same way.

'So you go to Hogwarts, right? You a first year? I think I've seen you before in class." He thought he had, but maybe he was wrong. All girls kind of looked the same to him. Though that was probably rude to admit since he was a twin and it annoyed him when people couldn't tell them apart.

"I'm Elias in case you don't know."

Like most eleven year old's, Lukas couldn't pass up the chance to slip into the shop the first chance he got without his parents or siblings in tow. It wasn't that he minded really but there was just something about being there alone. No one peering over his shoulder telling him what he could or couldn't spend his coins on. If he wanted to spend some coins on candy he didn't see a problem with it.

Inhaling deeply, the scent of sweets filled his senses. This is what he was talking about. Going from shop to shop wasn't all that fun, sure getting his wand and going to the Magical Menagerie was what he had been looking forward to for months. However that was hours ago and every other shop after that was crowded. Candy was what he needed.

Lukas made his way down the aisle he knew held the chocolate frogs. Those were almost always what he went for first.

Her brothers can be the absolute worst sometimes, you know? Always snooping around and stealing her candy! Not that Cassidy had any proof that her brothers were nosey candy thieves, but she just FELT it. She had a gut feeling. However, this certainly meant that she needed to replenish her stash. Just enough to last for the rest of the summer, that's all. She was going to bring her dad with her next time so he can buy more for her before she left for Hogwarts.

Oh, Hogwarts! Hoggy warty Hogwarts! Cassidy was SO excited for it, so she can join Alex and Benji and Céline and also Cathal, because the younger boy was definitely coming with them this September 1st. Her bag idea was fool-proof, it would WORK!

Cassidy pushed the door open to the sweet shop and skipped to her usual aisles. She already knew where she could find her favourites by heart, which made navigating through the shop easy for her. She took some jelly slugs and sugar quills. The redhead eventually found herself in the chocolate frogs aisle, where she noticed a familiar face. "LUKAS!" HELLO!

Lukas had been reaching for chocolate frogs when there was a shout of him name. It had caught him so off guard that his arm hit the shelf containing the chocolate frogs causing several boxes to onto the floor as he spun around. For a brief moment he had thought it was one of his sisters having found out where he had disappeared off to. However it wasn't and a grin spread across his face at the sight of his redheaded friend. "Cassidy!"

"Stocking up on sweets too?" Obviously she was, why else would she be in here. Remembering he had bumped into the shelf upon her unexpected arrival the eleven year old knelt down to pick up the boxes of chocolate frogs off the floor. "Are you here alone too?" Blue eyes lifted up towards her as he spoke. It didn't look like anyone was with her, unless they were in a different aisle.

Alright, wizard candy was becoming Evan's absolute favorite. Maybe that was just because it was new and yet to lose its... Newness, but he LOVED it. And he was currently stocking up on all before Noah got home from Hogwarts. He wondered how much he could actually but, and how much he could get next trip too.

If Hogwarts was going to just disappear when he was finally a student, he'd like to be very well prepared. Now to just decide what to try NOW..

The summer was so close that Ingrid could practically taste the warm nights and fun filled days but first, she had to pick up her siblings from King’s Cross Station which was something she’d been looking forward to more than they could possibly know. When they’d left for school without her, it had left a hole at their usually loud and busy home. It didn’t quite feel like home without them there but now that they were coming back and she was on the cusp of actually going herself, things were looking up.

With the Luck family reuniting coming in a few days though, the youngest of the family (by mere seconds!) was out and about, wandering the Alley with her nose pressed in a book and a smile on her freckly little face, eager to explore. What to do though…That was when her nostrils were assaulted by the almost sickly smell of sweetness coming from a sweet shop. The perfect welcome home present for her siblings!

Slipping her book under her arm, Ingrid slipped through the open door and looked around, slightly bewildered at how much the shop really had to offer. There couldn’t be a different type of sweet in each of the jars, could there? Maybe a pick n mix would be the best idea but…how would she get to the sweets at the top?

“Excuse me, how do I get the sweets from the top?” . It wasn’t like she wanted to ask a random boy (Evan) but there really was no one else around at the moment. Sure, he didn’t exactly look like he knew what to do either, the way he was just standing there and staring at them but she had to ask someone. “Are you okay? You’re kind of staring at them”, a small smile on her lips now as she watched, a few feet away from the boy.

You’re kind of staring at them”, a small smile on her lips now as she watched, a few feet away from the boy.
He was continuing to just stare at the shelves, unable to decide exactly what to start with. He had tried the Sugar Quills with Solana, and those were honestly quite good so he grabbed a couple more of those to put in his stash. And... lemon drops sounded tasty, so he grabbed some of those as well. Now Bertie Bott's... well, those just sounded like they could be fun as a game but as a legitimate sweet snack? He wrinkled his nose slightly before deciding to pass on them. Hmm... but what else could he try? Maybe the thing called... Blood pops? Although, that also sounded kind of gross...

He was lost in his decision making on the very important decision of candy, when he jumped slightly hearing another voice. Evan turned noticing a girl who looked around his age. How to reach the top shelf? E blinked slightly, looking from her to waaaay up where there was another row of candies he hadn't even looked at yet. "Umm, I'm not actually sure... maybe there is someone taller around you could ask?" Hopefully he'd be tall ONE day. Today was unfortunately not that day... "I could help you look for someone?" He hated being unhelpful, but finding someone else was really all he could assist with.

And then she was asking if he was... okay? Right. Yes, he was staring and definitely looking lost. All of these new things were just so... new! "Oh, um... yes. I'm... muggle born I think is what it's called? I was just trying to decide what to try from the shelves!" It really would have been nice if his family had not kept him so in the dark about the magical world Noah had been living in so he didn't look so SILLY. Like right NOW. "What's your favorite?"

Watching this boy try and make a decision was amusing but not quite as amusing as him jumping at the sound of her voice which honestly made a change. With her nose usually pressed in a book, the youngest of the Luck’s was always getting startled and then frustrated so, for the shoe to be on the other foot was amusing, if not downright hilarious. Giggling a little, Ingrid tucked a loose strand of hair behind one on her ears and tempered her laughter knowing all too well how annoying it could be. “I hope there’s someone else taller than me here or I’ll never get anything I want” , she replied, the smile on her face lingering like a Niffler around a pot of gold.

Considered his offer for a brief moment before nodding, Ingrid contined “I don’t really know what I want. I need to buy something for my brother and sisters to welcome them home but when I pick, maybe we could find help then?” . Scratch that. Adam wouldn’t want any because he was training so maybe just Vi and Thess? Either way, that only made her problem a little smaller.

Ingrid’s eyes began to move away from the boy now as they began taking in the bright and colourful, sugary treats tucked away in the jars around her. It was only when he mentioned that he was a muggle that she really turned back towards him, the expression on her face changing to one of understanding. He was staring earlier because he’d never been here before! It all made sense now! She herself had been here many times if only to drop her brother and sisters off for the train but she had been around Diagon Alley, if only for a few hours so she understood how he was feeling. Maybe becoming some kind of detective was her true calling when she graduated from Hogwarts!

“Muggle born? You should try everything then!. Choosing to ignore the fact that he was muggleborn because it really didn’t matter to her, she moved towards one of the jars that she could actually reach and began pouring some of the sweets out. “I love the Puckering Sour Swirls. Sour sweets are the best!”. How could someone not love the taste of something so sour it burns a hole through your tongue!

Goodness, he really did seem so skittish these days. Everything in Diagon Alley was so new and interesting he kept finding himself getting consistently distracted and lost in thought. He usually wasn't an easy person to sneak up on, liking to examine his surrounding in public just as much as the pages of a book at home, but this whole new world had him entirely thrown off his game. There were some small, tiny moments such as right now with the other girl's chuckle at his fright where he almost felt ... angry at Noah and his parents for not sharing this world with him before. Even if he hadn't been magic, he still would have wanted to learn. Hmph. "Well, I'm sure there has to be someone taller than us! Maybe the shop keeper?" And if the shopkeeper was also short, hopefully there was at least a step stool around.

"Picking something first sounds like a good idea. Then you can just tell the shop keeper what you want and they could grab all the ones you can't reach at one time!" And then ring her up and she would be good to go. "How many siblings do you have to buy for?" Noticed she said brother and sisters, but was curious how many that meant. "And how glad were you when you could finally talk to them again!?" He may or may not have cried a little, in private of course, when they finally got a letter from Noah again saying he was safe and would be home soon.

He didn't notice the look of understanding, as he was back to examining the shelves of candy again. Now he was kind of considering putting together a couple of backs of different treats for his sisters layered like a rainbow. He bet Lisa and Maya both would like that! But he didn't want to give them something gross, or too spicy or sour or something. So maybe he'd wait until he had gotten to try more things. Which... "I'd like to try everything eventually! I've only made it through a small portion so far, though. But I appreciate the suggestion on what to try next! I'll definitely get some of those for my stash!" He was a fan of sour gummy worms, so he assumed these would be good as well.

He was a fan of sour gummy worms, so he assumed these would be good as well.


Having always grown up knowing about wizards, it was hard for her to really imagine what it might be like for someone to walk into Diagon Alley and know nothing about the wizarding world but what she did imagine was a whole lot of confusion. With a warm smile, she simply peered around, looking for some type of shop keeper but to her chagrin, no one was in sight. “Don’t worry, I’m sure we could…throw something up at the jars to hit them down?” . She wasn’t really being serious but it did amuse her to imagine the reaction they’d both receive. She knew that if she suggested it to Adam, he’d have done it by now but thankfully, he wasn’t here. Instead, she simply continued browsing the shelves for the Puckering Sour Swirls.

Briefly, her lower lip jutted out as he asked how glad she was to speak to her siblings again, her eyes now fully focused on the shelves in front of her. The real answer was that she missed them more than she could ever put into words! And not just because they were stuck in in school with no way to talk to her.

It’s official: both of my brothers are idiots, Ariel thought as she entered Sugarplum’s. She didn’t know which one was dumber, the younger one who fell in love with a blood supremacist or the older one who thought it was a brilliant idea to confess those feelings to said blood supremacist! Surely Heath wouldn’t be stupid enough to take Fiy’s advice! He was a Ravenclaw, and Ravenclaws were supposed to be smart, right? Still, she couldn’t shake the suspicion that her baby brother would be nursing a broken heart before the day was out, and it looked like it was up to her to put it back together.

She had been all over Diagon Alley looking for things Heath might like to put into a care package for him when - and mark her words, if even half of what she’d heard about that family was true, it was bound to happen - that girl broke his heart. So far, she had some books and a WerewolfSnout cd, but nothing cured a broken heart like candy. Lots and lots of candy! The brunette bustled about the shop, grabbing various candies off the displays as she went. Some jelly slugs, a box of licorice wands, a few sugar quills… what else? She paused by the handmade candies, wondering which ones her brother would like best. They all looked so good, she might have to buy some for herself while she was here!

She wasn’t really being serious but it did amuse her to imagine the reaction they’d both receive. She knew that if she suggested it to Adam, he’d have done it by now but thankfully, he wasn’t here. Instead, she simply continued browsing the shelves for the Puckering Sour Swirls.

Briefly, her lower lip jutted out as he asked how glad she was to speak to her siblings again, her eyes now fully focused on the shelves in front of her. The real answer was that she missed them more than she could ever put into words! And not just because they were stuck in in school with no way to talk to her. She missed them every year they left her to go to school but this year had been particularly hard. No letters. No magical mirror talks at night whenever she had a question that needed answering. “I missed them a lot this year” she finally replied, her bottom lip now fully on show.

The whole wizarding world was... overwhelming to him. But in the best type of way. Thankfully, by chance he'd met Solana who had been willing to catch him up on as much as possible. Including the whole happenings at Hogwarts which was especially GREAT since he had been SO worried about Noah. It was unlike his brother to not talk to them all while he was gone somehow, so they'd all been kind of freaked. And of course had no idea what was happening until closer to the end. Noah hadn't even been reachable when Evan received his letter. He peered at the jars when she suggested they throw something at them. "You think they might be glass?" The fact she was not serious went over his head. He was more concerned and concentrated on the fact he could NOT afford all of those candies if they broke stuff.

He did not notice what his question did to her, until she started talking again and he turned to look at her and noticed her lower lip. His eyes widened a little as he realized maybe he shouldn't ask people considering how scary the last term was. He chose to focus now on the fact Noah was FINE and coming home but... others might still be dealing with a lot of residual feelings over everything that had happened. He'd have to consider that next time. "I get that. My sisters and I missed our older brother too..." So much. They had such a HUGE stack of things to send to him once they had notification he could contact them again. "I can hardly WAIT to see him when he gets home." And saw all the things they had done to his room when they thought he was ignoring them on purpose.

Oops.

"We do have chocolate. And I've already tried a chocolate frog." Which was about the only thing he'd heard listed that sounded different and like it'd be worth trying. Because experience. He watched as she surveyed the shelves, so glad for the assistance and that the decision was being taken off of him. There were so many OPTIONS he'd been a little bit on the verge of internally panicking about it all. When she offered a jar, he pulled out one of the little bags he held for candy and took a couple pieces and dropped it in, making sure he had enough for Lisa and Maya too. "That sounds like it would be fun! What are the Fizzing Whizzbees like?" Poprocks maybe? That's what it SOUNDED like anyways. Or maybe sugar dip? "Thank you for the help and suggestions!"

Noah hadn't been looking to explore anything in particular but the candy shop had caught his eye for SOME bizarre reason. He paused as he lingered amongst the aisles, caught in the very difficult decision in what to purchase. Chocolate or sweet or sour? He didn't know what exactly he wanted but he wanted something delicious and light.

The soon to be sixteen year old continued pursuing the aisles, looking for anything that caught his fancy.

Sugarplum's was yet another shop Kennedi was allowed to visit. Not alone, of course, but with her bodyguard, Darius. She didn't mind it. They both came to terms that she wanted alone time when it came to exploring the inside of a shop. She was also sure her dad had allowed Darius to give her space while still keeping a close eye on her.

Wandering around and exploring the aisles, her nimble fingers grazed boxes and packages of sweets as her icy blue eyes took in their label designs. Kennedi came to a stop and stared at a box of odd jelly sweets she hasn't seen before. So intrigued by them, the small brunette rose on her tiptoes and wiggled her fingers as she tried to reach for the box. No luck. With a furrow of her brows and lip between her teeth, she scoot to her left, where a taller young wizard stood.

Scoot. Scoot. Scoot.

"Uhm...hi. Could you help me?" she asked in a timid whisper, her finger pointing up at the box of gummies.

Noah had been so focused on pursuing the exotic candy arrangements that the shop had that he hadn't noticed someone come near him. But when he heard someone ask for help - the Gryffindor couldn't help but offer himself as an agent of good. "Absolutely," he said with a nod as he looked at the younger witch, wondering what she needed exactly.

"What do you need help with?" he had asked before following where she had pointed. OH. She wanted the gummies up ahead? "Sure," he added as he reached up to grab the gummies that she was pointing too. "What's your favourite flavour?" He asked with a curious grin and tilt of her head.
