Just beyond the door to the lovely candy shop in Diagon Alley lays shelves among shelves of different types of wizarding candy imaginable. Everything is labeled, so it shouldn't be too hard to find what you're looking for. There comes a time when someone picks up way too much candy than they can carry. No worries! A stack of baskets have been placed near the last shelf on the right, and anybody is welcome to use them if they need something to put their candy in.
Some items have been placed on the very high shelf. If you happen to need something from the top shelf and can't reach it, don't hesitate to notify the shopkeeper. He's more than happy to help you. It's better to get help than to try to reach the candy and make a mess! If you do happen to make a mess, make sure you fix it. Though the shopkeeper would have seen it already, he'd like to see that you didn't leave precious candy on the floor. He might be behind the counter, but his excellent sight allows him to see every single thing going on. Mhhm.
Oh, good! Not just her, then. But, still. Lexi gave Nailah, -"That's a pretty name!"- a once over, impressed. If she was enough like Lexi as she hinted at being, Nailah had more willpower in her tall, slender frame than anyone Lexi had ever met before. Including, her own father-in-law, who was Mr. Willpower.
"I don't think I'd have that much willpower even if you combined three of me..." Case in point, the fact that Lexi's basket was getting noticeably fuller, even on the short walk to the lollipops. "Oh, these will be perfect! I'll get maybe just one pound for now and stop back in for more later. And I'll definitely tell my customers where they can get more of them."
So, Nailah was new too. Just like Lucy at the Leaky Cauldron and Evan at Magical Menageries, and of course, Lexi herself. That was curious. Did something chase off the previous owners? Oh well, our gain right?
"I haven't met that many yet myself, you know, busy in my shop, planning out changes and such, but so far, everyone I've met have been amazing. Super friendly." Present company included.

Nailah smiled. "Thank you!" she said. She happened to be really fond of her name, too. It was a good reminder of where she'd come from. In the few seconds that passed, Nailah could tell Lexi was giving her the once-over. She even thought about joking around and striking a pose. The shopkeeper laughed. "I don't even know if I'm going to have enough willpower. Sometimes I question myself." Then on cue, her gaze drifted to a nearby display of Jelly Slugs. They looked really inviting.
She watched as her co-shopkeeper's basket began to fill. "Well, thank you! I'll make sure to direct my customers over to your shop, too," she said. They should have some big event together at some point. It'd be fun! "Changes?" she questioned along. Interesting. "So what's the big plans? Or is it a secret?" Nailah wasn't even sure she'd know the difference one way or the other. She wasn't from here, and since she'd only gone to Hogwarts for one year, this hadn't been her usual go-to place school shopping.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
After a day of shopping, his father had given him some left over money to buy candy at Sugarplum's and the money was currently in his hand as he opened the door to get inside of the shop. Once inside, the Ravenclaw did not have to look around for long until he found the chocolate frog section. He had been collecting the cards since he had joined the chocolate frog card club at school during his second year. But because his family was poor, he only had enough money to buy one maybe two frogs at the time.
He looked down at his money and counted them only to find out he was one sickle short to buy two chocolate frogs and he sighed. He guessed he just had to buy one instead... Or... The soon to be fourth year looked around, trying to find someone he knew he could borrow money from. He would pay them back of course.

The summer weeks were slowly moving along and with each day spent with her family, Rylee was feeling better. All that had happened in the final weeks of her second term at Hogwarts was locked away, she didn't want to talk about or think about even if the nightmares were ever present as the fading scars on her arm.
Rylee had promised to meet back up with her older sister and nephew a little later on, Rian had taken Saros to get some new clothing. The toddler was growing so fast! The first place a young teen with some spare change (that she was allowing herself to spend!) was for some candy. Sweet sweet sugar!
Stepping into the shop and grabbing a small basket she made her way down one of the aisles. Chocolate frogs were a need, red licorice too AND she couldn't forget SUGAR QUILLS!
Half-way down the aisle she spotted someone very familiar, a warm smile tugging at her lips. "Dorian! Hi!" And straight towards him she went. "How's your summer?"

Dorian turned around when he heard someone call his name and a small smile played on his lips when he saw that it his Gryffindor friend.
"Hi!" He waved his free hand at her. "No Declan this time?" he asked with a grin before he looked outside of the nearby window. Riiight..summer "It went by way too fast" he sighed before turning back. "But it was okay. We had to cancel our weekend vacation cause my dad couldn't get free from work but...." he shrugged his shoulders as if saying 'oh well' "Did you do anything?"
He turned to the shelves and grabbed one of the chocolate frogs and placed it in his basket. Then he stole a glance at Rylee's basket and he got a little jealous. "Do you have a sickle? I only need one to buy two chocolate frogs" he said as he pointed at packages. "I'll pay you back of course!"

He just wanted two chocolate frogs T_T
Penny had given her mother and older siblings all the DROP and ran off on her own. Or so she thought, anyway. Little did she know that her older sister had seen and followed her. FEH! But right now, in this precise moment, Penny Goodman was feeling FREE! And perhaps a bit like a rebel. That was... until she REALLY thought about the fact that she was likely going to be in trouble for this stunt later on.
Oh MERLIN!
The young girl was now seeing spots in her vision as it felt like her chest was tightening. Was she about to have an anxiety attack in the middle of a candy store?
That was highly likely.
As she turned a corner, somewhat blindly, she let out a squeak as she crashed into a pair of kids. This was PERFECT!

One thing that came natural to Dorian was the fact that he observed his surroundings. He liked to know where he was at all times, what others were doing because he was curious and it did not help either that his senses got heightened after the Inferi attack from last year. Normal things made him jump but now most things made him jump even when he saw them coming a mile away.
Or in this case an aisle away because his blue eyes had found the young girl as he was talking to Rylee, wondering where her parents were when she literally crashed in to them. Well, at he last second, Dorian had spun his body half way so that he was facing the sugar quills shelf in order not to get hit and then looked back over his shoulder. "What was that for?" he asked, his voice slightly panicky as he turned back around.

Rylee giggled. "Nope, no, Declan today. Unless you prefer that name?" she teased lightly smiling at him. It was funny how easily those names stick with them and became their own little joke. All due to one little elfsie getting their names wrong. "Aaww, that stinks! I didn't really do much this summer either. Mostly spending a lot of time with my family." After the inferi attacks she needed time with them. "Maybe you could come over for a visit before the break is over?" There's was plenty to do on their families property and they didn't have to go swimming either.
Noticing Dorian glance at her basket she giggled. "This isn't all mine. Only the sugar quills are." The licorice rope was for Reese and the chocolate frogs were for Rian, Silas, Ix and Saros. A sickle? Doing some very quick calculations in her she nodded fast. "Mhmm." Reaching into her small shoulder bag she fished out a single sickle holding it out for him. "Here you go." She smiled glad she could help. No worries about paying it back either. Friends helped friends.
Having been facing Dorian as they spoke, Rylee didn't see the slightly older girl as she crashed into the both of them. "Whoa! Are you alright? What about you, are you okay?" she asked quickly looking between her friend and the girl even as she stumbled forward herself, thankfully not falling over cause that would have been all levels of embarrassing!

Loveable Gryffinpuff| Stella Bella
After awhile of school shopping Stella was tired and needed a bit of a boost to help her finish her school list, she still had her school robe to get and she was already beat getting her school books, if she had this much for the first year she can only imagine what it'll be like after this. Walking into the shop she looked in awe at it, she never seen this much candy in her life the muggle candy store by her house was nothing compared to this! Walking the rest of the way through the store so she doesn't get mobbed by the people coming in and out of the store, she decided one thing for sure and that was chocolate frogs, she loved those things. Her father always gotten her some before he came home from work at the ministry, she always wondered what he did he just told her he stopped bad guys, whatever that meant. As of right now, she was focused on getting some of those delicious chocolate frogs in her mouth as quickly as possible.
Walking over towards the chocolate frogs she grabbed a handful putting them in her basket before looking around the store once again, seeing some fudge not too far from her, she walked over towards it. Hm... looked like normal fudge, but peanut butter and jellyfish? No thanks she'll pass on that it didn't look too appealing to her. Maybe some dark chocolate fudge is what she'll get, it looked pretty good. Reaching out to get some, she stood on her tip toes to get some from the top shelf but she couldn't reach it. Dang her being short! Reaching her hand out she felt for it. " Almost got it, ah ha! got ya sucess!" she said as she put it in her basket.
Seeing the licorice wands she wrinkled her nose, she didn't like those a whole lot, they were nasty to her. Hm...what else to get? she didn't know what else was good to get, this was her first time in here. Walking wonderless and lost around the store, she bit her lip trying to figure out where to go, it was quite a big store to her. Maybe if she walked around a bit maybe she'll find something else that catches her eye.

What about you, are you okay?" she asked quickly looking between her friend and the girl even as she stumbled forward herself, thankfully not falling over cause that would have been all levels of embarrassing!
While the other two managed to dodge her unintentional attack, Penny found herself falling. GREAT! Splendid! Way to make an impression, Pen! UGH. The girl managed a yelp before she toppled over her own feet and landed, somehow, backward and right on her bum with a hard smack.
"Ugggggggh," she moaned dramatically before just giving into gravity altogether and flopping backward onto the floor. Yes, this was embarrassing and yes she was being over the top about it all, but really she just wanted to sink into the floor and disappear forever. Could that happen? Was that a thing? Using her arm to cover her face she muttered a M'sorry. Finally peeking from behind her arm, face beetroot red, she spoke up, "I dinnit do it on purrrpose. It was an... acci...dent..." Were they going to shout at her now? If so she was likely to cry right there in the middle of the shoppe.
Nailah smiled. "Thank you!" she said. She happened to be really fond of her name, too. It was a good reminder of where she'd come from. In the few seconds that passed, Nailah could tell Lexi was giving her the once-over. She even thought about joking around and striking a pose. The shopkeeper laughed. "I don't even know if I'm going to have enough willpower. Sometimes I question myself." Then on cue, her gaze drifted to a nearby display of Jelly Slugs. They looked really inviting.
She watched as her co-shopkeeper's basket began to fill. "Well, thank you! I'll make sure to direct my customers over to your shop, too," she said. They should have some big event together at some point. It'd be fun! "Changes?" she questioned along. Interesting. "So what's the big plans? Or is it a secret?" Nailah wasn't even sure she'd know the difference one way or the other. She wasn't from here, and since she'd only gone to Hogwarts for one year, this hadn't been her usual go-to place school shopping.
Uh-huh. Lexi raised an eyebrow, just for a second, and smiled. "Well, struggle or not you have more willpower than me." As she was saying this, her hand reached out, almost as if on its own, and pulled a packet of jumping gummy bears into her basket. "See?" Two more packets joined the other. "Er...I should probably check out before I end up just buying the whole store."
She lit up at Nailah mentioning she'd be sure to mention Primpernelle's to her own customers. "Thank you!" And as for the changes, well... "Mostly, I just want to make my shop more me, you know? Well, me and my wife actually. If it was me, it'd probably all pink, which, Tammers claims would be too much of an eyesore. She's probably right. Other than that, I'll be overhauling the inventory after I clear out what's currently in stock. So, if you have any items you'd like to see stocked, let me know!"
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
"Actually, i had been thinking of legally changing my name to Declan one day" he said in all seriousness but then he laughed showing that he was just joking. Declan was just a little joke between him Rylee and that House elf... Merlin's Beard he had forgotten the name of the elf already. How on earth did Rylee remember them all? He felt awkward asking now though so he just let it pass.
A visit at Rylee's house? That sounded cool and Dorian was nodding his head before he had really thought about it he could go or not. "That be awesome! My dad will be pleased if he knew i had a friend to go to" Merlin's Beard that sounded weird. "Not that i don't have friends, i mean i got more muggle friends then wizarding friends that i go to over the summer" which was boring sometimes because they all did not know about the wizarding world and he had to really watch out what he said and did.
As he was explaining, Dorian realised that the Gryffindor was holding up her hand and he looked at it. Before he remembered he had asked for money earlier. "Woah thanks! Now i can buy two chocolate frogs! I collect the cards you see" so getting two frogs was way better than one. "I'll pay you back some day. You can hex me if i don't" She knew that that was a lame joke right? She did not take that seriously RIGHT?!
Now that the danger that was the falling girl was over, Dorian turned back around and looked at her on the ground. If he had been that girl he would have wished for the ground to open up and swallow him whole. Because that HAD to be embarrassing for her part. Rylee was being friendly and asking if she was okay but Dorian on the other hand just looked at her curiously. "What even happened? You weren't running i saw you earlier" wow that sounded stalkerish but whatever. "Did you get sick or somehing?" he asked.
Oh, how we drift away from our friends. And the ones back home play remember when
Helena decided to buy a stack of sweet treats for her sister Jemma and niece Daisy as a "thank you" for being allowed to stay over at their home. After a few years of not speaking with one another, the two sisters had healed their rift after the death of Helena's brother-in-law and the experience Daisy went through with the Inferi.
Grabbing a basket, Helena began looking at the displays. Within moments, her basket had begun to be filled up. Inside the basket were the following items: Three pounds of hazelnut chocolate, a box of cherry-centred truffles, three pounds of Chocoballs, six Chocolate Frogs and two boxes of Pumpkin Pasties.
Once happy with what was inside her basket, Helena headed for the counter.

There was a brief moment between the seriousness and then the laughter that had Rylee blinking at her friend. When she realized he was only teasing she began to laugh as well. While Declan was an awesome name Dorian fit him better. "Nah, Declan is better if only two us call you that." She grinned meaning just her and Tippin.
"Great! There's tons we can do! Let me know what your dad says and I'll talk to my sister and then you can come visit!" Having friends over to visit was something she loved to do. Going to visit friends was just as fun. She already knew her sister wouldn't mind her having another friend come to visit... anything to help lift her spirits again. Yeah, she had heard Rian say that once before. After all that's happening it was the little things now that made her most happy.
"You do? I used to collect them but not anymore." She had given all her doubles to Reese. All she really needed was one of each care anyhow. "If I have any copies not already promised to my brother you can have them." Or Drew cause he collected them too. "Don't worry about it." Rylee waved him off. A sickle wasn't a big deal really and they were friends.
Buuuuut... what in the name of Merlin just happened?! However had bumped into them was now laying on the floor! "Are you alright?" Repeating the question from earlier she also stuck her hand out to help the girl up. "Are you hurt?" Had she tripped or gotten sick like Dorian had said?

Derren had been here in the sweet shop many many times in his lifetime but this would probably the last until Christmas. He loved, LOVED this place. There wasn’t one thing that he didn’t like in this shop. He had been shopping all day with his parents for school supplies. The eleven year old had begged and begged to go to sugarpulms. Finally he was done with the school shopping.
Leaving his parents either outside of the shop or somewhere inside he had no clue. He had ran in so fast that the didn’t see if they had came inside with him or where they went. He fully understood the meaning of the phase like a kid in a candy store.
Grabbing handfuls of everything as he passed. Jelly slugs, peppermint toads, prank candy (Yess! His favorite) and so on and so on. That reminded him he was thinking of a plan to sneak a trip to the joke shop as well. He would need to stock up on things from there for school. Now this was school supply shopping. He was filling his arms with candy, aisle to aisle until his arms were too full to grab some licorice wands. Whoa he was going to need more arms or something. ”I need a basket!” He said excitedly, he quickly turned back toward the front of the store where the baskets were. As he turned he bumped into something… someone. Opps. Double opps…. he had dropped some of the candy that was in his arms. Help. HELP! His candy was trying to escape.
Bumping into someone, she looked and seen she ran into a boy about her age, oh...boy how embarrassing. Here she was in a unknown candy store to her, but now she bumped into someone and caused a mess. With her and his candy flying everywhere, she grabbed him a basket and started helping him with his candy. "Oh my gosh, I'm sorry are you ok?!" she asked looking at him. He seems ok, but who really knew for sure, hopefully his candy was ok. "I'm sorry about your candy, I don't really know what's good here so I didn't lose much." she said looking down at her fudge.
Maybe he'll be nice and they'll be friends once they get to Hogwarts, or...maybe he'll be mean which was something she hoped he wasn't. "Sorry so rude of me, I'm Stella. she said putting his candy that was wrapped up in the basket. Hopefully the owner wouldn't get mad because of the mess here and candy all over the place, honestly it was just an accident. " I can pay for the candy that's ruined, I got enough." she said frowning at his candy on the floor. He lost quite a bit, she felt really bad about it and wanted to help and make it right.

" I can pay for the candy that's ruined, I got enough." she said frowning at his candy on the floor. He lost quite a bit, she felt really bad about it and wanted to help and make it right.
His candy was all over the floor. He wasn’t going to cry. He wasn’t going to cry. Oh no no no nononono. He was on the brink of a break down. He wanted his parents, he wanted his mum. He desperately searched around for them. He was thrown back to reality by a kid with a basket. But the reality was his candy was gone. ”No it’s okay. I ran into you. Are you new here?” Honestly that was all on him. He couldn’t help but to stare at the mess of candy all over.
Was he mad? No. He was upset and sad. Sure he could get more candy, it was just the fact that he was having fun being goofy and shopping. He took what candy he could savage and place in his basket. ”No problem. Thanks for the basket. I’m Derren.” He managed to give her small smile as he picked through boxes of candy. ”Most if it is in packaging so its fine.” It was all good. Derren was really really overreacting to the whole thing.
Stella felt really bad about his candy, she knew if she had alot of candy like this, she'll be upset and cry. Ok...was that a bit childish? Yes...but hey she was still a kid and still young. Not to mention love was candy and candy is love, that's every kids motto. She would've been upset if her fudge and chocolate frogs were all over the place, now she thought about it her chocolate frogs were on the floor. But she wasn't worried about that, she was more concerned about helping this kid that lost all his candy or most majority. She nodded. "Is it that noticeable?" she asked biting her lip. "My dad gets me the fudge here all the time, but this is my first time in here." she said helping him with the mess.
He didn't look mad, just sad and upset about it and honestly she couldn't blame him. He lost quite a bit of candy due to their bump in with each other. " Sure no problem, I heard you needing one, too bad I was too late." she said frowning. "Derren that's a cool name, well what a interesting way too meet each other, I sure won't forget it." she said chuckling. She nodded. "That's good, that's a relief but those pranks things looked pretty cool." she said looking at them.

Sterling Archer Calrissian needed a break from school shopping. And probably to meet some people who actually attended Hogwarts, but mostly the break. And what better place to do those two things than the local candy shop? None, that's where.
Making her way down one aisle, Archer stopped in front of a display of chocoballs and picked one up, popping the sweet into her mouth. "Mmm, those are some good chocoballs," she commented to no one in particular. So good, in fact, that she sampled another. And maybe two more...

It was a summer staple for Derf - the stocking up of certain sweets in Sugarplum's before the start of term. Sure, there was also the trolley to get some goods and the occasional Hogsmeade weekend...but there was just something about this little tradition of his that helped Derf reset.
And sweet Scamander did he need a reset.
......using that name hurt, though he masked the frown on his face by picking up a few boxes of chocolate frogs when he caught some movement out of the corner of his eyes. Though he HEARD her first. "They're not my favorite but they are good," he nodded with a small smile, grabbing a couple of more boxes - not bringing his total to a healthy seven.

"Right?" she replied after swallowing her...maybe fifth? sample. It was definitely more than three anyway. Man, she could really go for something to drink right now. "Sterling Calrissian, but everyone calls me Archer," she said by way of introduction, holding her hand out for a handshake to the tall-ish blonde guy now standing near her.
"Do you happen to go to Hogwarts?" It was a mostly throw away small-talk-type of question, though if he did, that might prove helpful, being an Illvermorny transfer and all.

While Declan was an awesome name Dorian fit him better. "Nah, Declan is better if only two us call you that." She grinned meaning just her and Tippin.
"Great! There's tons we can do! Let me know what your dad says and I'll talk to my sister and then you can come visit!" Having friends over to visit was something she loved to do. Going to visit friends was just as fun. She already knew her sister wouldn't mind her having another friend come to visit... anything to help lift her spirits again. Yeah, she had heard Rian say that once before. After all that's happening it was the little things now that made her most happy.
"You do? I used to collect them but not anymore." She had given all her doubles to Reese. All she really needed was one of each care anyhow. "If I have any copies not already promised to my brother you can have them." Or Drew cause he collected them too. "Don't worry about it." Rylee waved him off. A sickle wasn't a big deal really and they were friends.
Buuuuut... what in the name of Merlin just happened?! However had bumped into them was now laying on the floor! "Are you alright?" Repeating the question from earlier she also stuck her hand out to help the girl up. "Are you hurt?" Had she tripped or gotten sick like Dorian had said?
"Wait" Dorian said as he saw the espression on Rylee's face when he had told her he wanted to legally change his name. "You actually thought i was serious?" he laughed yet again. She was funny, did she know that? "But you're right, only you two can call me Declan" He said after calming down a bit and added "They're like spy names, aren't they?" not really but she got the point....hopefully.
Dorian nodded his head as he thought about which day he could come over. Not knowing just yet, the Ravenclaw looked at Rylee. "You also live near a forest right?" he asked as he vaguely tried to remember there conversation last year in one of the other shops in Diagon Alley.
"Yup! I do" He answered and stood up a little straighter. Not that collecting cards was something to be that proud of. Hundreds of kids did that. "I joined the club in my second year and my collection has grown so much since i've joined" And then Dorian's mouth fell slightly open at what Rylee said next. "I can have them?" if she had a double card. "That's cool, thanks!"
And then she surprised him again by saying he did not needed to pay back but instead of thanking her again, he firmly shook his head. "No, this is money we're talking about. I will pay you back one day and i don't take no for an answer" his father had always told him that he should never lend money, because it could get him in to trouble one day. Even if it is from a friend and a small amount. What if they started to drift apart years later and that one sickle became a galleon and he had no proof that it wasn't?
He was probably getting astray with his thoughts but it happened to his father so...he was going to pay Rylee back one day. He got out of his thoughts when he saw an outstretched arm and he blinked at it a couple of times before he realised that the Gryffindor was trying to help up the other girl who had fallen on her behind earlier.
Mweh, maybe he should buy his chocolate frogs already and check his cards? He looked over at the counter but the line was too long. So he stayed with Rylee and mysterious falling girl a bit longer.

Derf wasn't keep count and, well, he was known to take a few samples or two himself and eating them right here in this very shop. Though he had done so in naive ignorance in his younger days, now he just did it without properly thinking things through. Which, well, was a bit of a Derf trademark at times. "I actually prefer Bertie Botts and Fizzing Whizzbees, personally," he nodded. Just, you know, ignore the collection of chocolate frog boxes in his hands which suggested otherwise.
"Oh, uh, Derfael.....Ashburry-Hawthorne...but everyone calls me Derf," he returned as he tried to shuffle the boxes around so he could manage to shake her hand. Which, well, boxes were strung about the floor by the end of said attempting but at least he had managed to be polite and shake her hand? Small victories, the 16-year-old was all about those these days. "Where does Archer come from?" Did she, you know, DO archery?
"I do," he grinned, releasing her hand now so he could start to collect his boxes from the floor. "Be going into my sixth year." And since she didn't know who he was...well...he knew it was a bit egocentric and presumptuous to jump to this conclusion buuuuuuuut he also reckoned it was a safe bet. "....you...gonna be a new students there come September or something?"

"Er...I should probably check out before I end up just buying the whole store."
She lit up at Nailah mentioning she'd be sure to mention Primpernelle's to her own customers. "Thank you!" And as for the changes, well... "Mostly, I just want to make my shop more me, you know? Well, me and my wife actually. If it was me, it'd probably all pink, which, Tammers claims would be too much of an eyesore. She's probably right. Other than that, I'll be overhauling the inventory after I clear out what's currently in stock. So, if you have any items you'd like to see stocked, let me know!"
Nailah laughed and then shrugged. "I don't think I'd stop you if you tried to buy the whole store," she said. Well, the items in the store, since the store itself wasn't exactly for sale. "It'd probably really good for my business." And her bank account. She lingered at the displays a little longer, just in case her customer, and new friend, wasn't quite ready to check out. Although, knowing what she knew about Lexi now, maybe she should lead her to the check-out area...
So Lexi was married? Nailah wasn't sure why that surprised her. Maybe because Nailah didn't even have a boyfriend right now. Who knew. "Well, that makes sense," she said. "I've been doing little things here and there in my own shop." She nodded. "Yeah, sure! I'll let you know if I come up with anything." Right now, though, Nailah needed to at least tour the alley and visit all the shops. She honestly couldn't even recall what Primpernelle's already had.

"Yummy sweets, yummy yummy sweets. I want to eat... all of you," Hanna hummed as she looked up at all of the sweets available to purchase. Her parents didn't always want to send her sweets, so she planned ahead to TAKE all the sweets with her. She planned to buy some fudge for the train, but she didn't like stale fudge. Unless she could learn a food-keep-fresh charm. That might be something to work on... She got EXTRA fudge, in hopes of experimenting on it. Bertie Bott's, yes she needed those....
