Stella who was helping separate the candy, didn't even notice she lost some of her fudge until he showed it to her. Hey...it was just a piece of fudge, wasn't like she was really going to miss it right? Although she felt bad for wasting money, but it was an accident right, surely the shop keeper would understand right? Although she never seen the shopkeeper she just hoped it wasn't a old man that would chase them out with his cane, she shivered slighty she still had memories of that. Probably why she didn't go to the candy store by her house anymore, she remembered when she was seven and she dropped a gumball on the floor that she already gotten with her money and he flipped his switch and chased her out of the store with his cane.


Stella shrugged it off. " Hey it's ok, not like I can't replace it just hope that I don't get chased out of the store by a old man and his cane!" she said biting her lip looking around. Nope no grumpy old man with a cane, she was good and safe. Phew... thank goodness for that, that one time was enough to last her a lifetime. Stella shook her head. "No I haven't, my first time in here at all although I been to Diagon Alley countless of times with my father, he never stopped here it was all busines he says he brings down bad witches and wizards. "she said shrugging. Although she was a half blood having a mum who was muggleborn meant she did alot of things muggle, including going to a muggle school.


If she wasn't in school and allowed she would've been here, but due to her adventurous ways, her parents didn't like her to go off on her own and kept a close eye on her. Her parents weren't that far away, they knew where she was at and quite frsnkly it was annoying, here she was about to be going to Hogwarts she wasn't a baby anymore. She nodded and smiled. "Sure no problem, was just helping out a fellow sweet toother." she said laughing at what she said. Fellow sweet toother, what was that? whatever it was it was funny to her. Stella titled her head curiously looking at them, she seen prank things before, but not like this they looked cool. Although now that she looked at them, they looked like normal candy good thing she knew that them were prank candy. "That's ok I didn't lose as much as you, but maybe you can show me what's good around here?" It all looked good, she didn't know what to all get, she sorta wanted it all but the licorice wands.

Dorian!
 

"What? You never know with some people. Maybe you don't like you're name and want to change it," Rylee shrugged a playful grin tugging at her lips now followed by gentle laughter. There was nothing wrong with not liking your own name. She on the other hand loved her name!

Nods fast. "Uh-huh and a small lake too." Couldn't forget that part even if she didn't go in it anymore until Rian cast a ton of charms on it to prove nothing could harm her. There was lots they could do there if he was able to come for a visit.

"Yup. I can give them to you if you get to visit before summer is over.... or I can owl them to you?" Unless he didn't mind waiting until they returned to Hogwarts. She wasn't sure how many chocolate frog cards she could give him but she did know it was a couple at least. All of her doubles always went to Reese first unless he didn't want them then either Stefan or Drew got the others if they didn't have them already.

Dorian insisting he would pay her back made her smile. He sounded like her big sister and mum. Always pay someone back if they loan you something. "Alright, alright." She giggled. There was no sense in arguing about it.

Hanna looked over as she heard a voice asking about candy. "Mmm I mean, they all are!" She scanned the shelves and her basket. "Are you more into chocolate things or... sugary things?" Granted they all DID include sugar. "I love fudge but I think it goes hard too quickly." She loved the soft squishy fudge. "And I loooooove fizzing whizbees." She had a big bag of those in her basket. "What are some of your favourites? The Bertie Bott's Ever Flavour Beans are fun, except when you get the really yuck ones. But then you can just rinse the flavour down with some fudge or something."

Well he was starting to feel better for a while that was until Stella had mentioned the old man, what old man. Like the owner? Was the owner a old man? Didn’t this shop get a new owner or under new management or something? Anyway he was kind of nervous now. He nodded ”I think we are in the clear… for now.” He teased. He found this girl to be fairly interesting. So she had been around here before. He had zone out for a moment still worried about if the shopkeeper was nearby. He looked up and over at her when she said her dad said the brings down bad witches and wizards. ”Is your dad a auror?” He asked excitedly.

He checked his basket to see what he would need to replace. He’d at least need to make a run around the entire store. That was fine though. He had a new friend to hang out with. Chuckles ”A fellow sweet toother? That’s new.” With a grin he stood up, picked up both of their baskets and offered his hand to help her up off of the floor. ’Now that’s something I can do.”

Stella kept looking around biting her lip afraid the shopkeeper was going to kick them out of the store, that wouldn't be good. She didn't need another reminder of what happened when she was seven all over again, that was enough to last her a lifetime. But then again this place was magic which was worse, they coild be chased out by broomsticks or so. Ok... now she was thinking crazy, but you never know with magic. " Hey don't tease me, I was chased out of a muggle candy store by a old man and his cane when I was seven!" Now he was a teaser, ah... something she now discovered now that he was ok now. "Don't tell me you're scared of a old man chasing us out of the store now are you?" she asked smirking at him. She nodded. " Yeah he is, I'm very proud of my daddy he's amazing!" she said happily.


Stella laughed and shrugged. " Hey I didn't tell you that I was normal. With a grin she took his hand standing up dusting herself off. " Where do we start first? From what I seen you will have to run around the whole store."

Okay, if he preferred Bertie's and Fizzing Whiz-whatevers, then why was he carrying what must be a few dozen cartons of Chocolate Frogs?

Maybe she should've rethought the handshake. Oh well, too late now. Instead, she bent to help Derf pick up his boxes. "It's actually my middle name. My dad wanted to honor his ancestors who had to change their surname from 'Archer' to 'Calrissian' a few decades back, thanks to some nasty falling out with the CIA." Her granddad had never really liked talking about it much. Or at all, really.

Phew. The 'meeting new classmates' thing was getting off to a good start then. Even better, he was around her age. Well, a year ahead, but still. She returned the smile with one of her own. "Yep. Transferring in from Illvermorny, actually. I'll be a fifth year."

Stella could tell and sense Derren was nervous, even if he didn't want to admit that he was. She wasn't going to lie, she was a bit nervous herself, she didn't want to be chased out of the store by a old man with a cane. She didn't want to be banned from a place on her first time here, oh...no that wouldn't be good seeing how she loved the fudge here. She nodded. "Yeah... it was enough to be scared of old men with canes." she said shivering. Stella raised her eyebrows at him, what was the deal with boys not admitting they're scared of things, like they were scared it was going to bruise their man ego or whatever. " Oh really, nothing at all?" she asked him smirking lifting her eyebrows still at him as if she knew he was lying. Everyone was scared of something, even if you were sorted into Gryffindor or not, everyone had fears unless you weren't human. She was scared of clowns herself, they were creepy looking, why did parents invite them to parties anyways don't they know how creepy they were? "I know isn't it? I want to be one just like him!" which was true she wanted to be an Auror.


Stella laughed. "I'm not that's for sure, being normal is overrated. she said homestly. She wasn't normal that was for sure, she was a fruit loop in a world of cheerios and she liked it that was. Was she looney as a looney can get? Of course she wasn't, but she was beyond normal. Stella nodded and smiled. "Sure that sounds like fun and a good idea. she said looking around the store.

Ooops. Telling people about the whole CIA thing was probably not a smart move. Then again, it had been soooo long ago. Ancient history, really. "Oh, it wasn't really as bad as it sounds..... they had worked as independent contractors and messed up on a job." She left off the fact that they had been secret agents. That seemed like a real no go topic. Yep, she was really going to have to watch that.

"Er..a small bit. Basically, I only know what I heard from my classmates when they got back." Information that had left her intrigued, for sure. Though, not everything had been all that complimentary... "Is it true that there's a giant squid that lives in a lake?" she asked, handing over the boxes that she'd picked up. That had had everyone talking the most, as far as Pukwudgie house had been concerned.

"I have to ask, if you prefer Bertie Bott's and those Fizzy things," she couldn't remember the proper name, they didn't have them in America, "why do you have so many chocolate frogs?" She usually liked to stock up on the snacks she actually liked herself.

Hanna nodded. It was a silly question, really. All candy was good, as long as it was candy.

Hanna laughed, "Yeah, me too. What's the worst you've had? I had Sulphur once, and I had to go to St. Mungo's because I couldn't breathe very well afterwards." Merlin it was awful. "And my cousin swears he got a shower fart flavour one." That always made Hanna giggle.

Mmm, this girl had good taste. Hanna picked out some more things and added them to her basket. "Do you know a spell to keep fudge nice and fresh?" Hanna was curious if such a thing DID exist.

Hanna pointed some of the lollies out that she'd recognised from muggle areas. "Well I think the lollypops are like the muggle kind. And Drooble's gum is similar... although the bubbles don't pop for days. And the jumping gummybears, although you have to keep them contained so they don't... you know, jump away."

Lexi laughed. "Sure. Great for you, not so much for my purse!" It was tempting though. Very tempting. But well, no. She needed to learn some self-restraint and her basket was already heavy, so no. Nope. No more for her. Right after this last bag of gummy bears.

It went into the basket. Lexi sighed, shaking her head at herself. "I'm weak." There was an amused smirk as she rolled her eyes at herself. "Alright, that's it for me. Well, this trip."

Lexi glanced around. She had no idea what Nailah had done, or what it might have looked like before. But she was having a hard time picturing anything different in here. Everything looked perfectly delicious....er, right. That was the word. Yep. Right. "Well, we have to make our shops ours, don't we?"

Hanna nodded, it was. "I really hope so. I couldn't eat another one for over a year." How could anyone though? "Eww that's gross." It was almost funny how such a popular treat could make people so ill.

That was a good idea! "We should do that. Then we will have fresh fudge all year. Except we can go to Honeydukes when we go to Hogsmeade and get more." Because it might not last a whole year. "Have you ever made a spell?" Hanna really wanted to, one day. Before she left Hogwarts, she wanted to make one.

This girl was SMART! "Are you a Ravenclaw too?" She asked. She couldn't remember seeing her around. But immobilising the gummy bears, well. Hanna hadn't thought of that. She liked to try and catch them if they got away, but sometimes she just wanted to eat the gummies rather than play with them. "Hi Madison, I'm Hanna."

gonna try to wrap us up ish since the train...rp in the school too though, yes? :3
