Well, this was an experience. Elliott had never been to this Hogsmeade place before, although he had heard tons of good things about it from the other students. Joke shops, pubs, sweet shops.. was there anything it lacked? The odd thing was, however, Elliott really had almost no sweet tooth, and yet he found himself in none other than Honeyduke's - the sweet shop! Who knew why he wandered in there. Maybe it was all the hype that the other Hogwarts kids were on about.

Cassie had been feeling rather down lately which was not at all normal for a person with her personality, but then very strange things had been happening to her emotionally these last few days and she really just wanted to go home. She couldn't wait for the christmas break. Nothing at all was going right and she didn't want to admit the problem to herself, she most certainly wouldn't admit it to anyone else either. Nope, because Cassie Storm was just always perfect and she would be damned to let that change.

She figured she would get some sweets, some chocolate or something to cheer herself up. She could always dance it off when she got done, but right now she just wanted to spoil herself. She pushed open the door to the honeydukes shop and stepped inside. It was so much warmer in here.

She made her way down the isle looking specifically for her favourite chocolate treat when she bumped into someone. She was in such a huff she wasn't even going to say sorry." watch it!

Since he was in the shop and everything, Elliott decided that he might as well take a look at all the assortments of sweets. So, he perused through the shelves, his eyes scanning over the chocolate frogs and onto the licorice wands. Eugh, black licorice was probably one of the worst sorts of candy out there. How could people enjoy that stuff? He was contemplating this meaningless thought when someone bumped right into him, then had the audacity to blame him.

"I should watch it?" He asked, lifting an eyebrow as he turned to see who this person was. O.o Cassie? Well, what a coincidence. "Oh, sheesh, Cass. Hello to you too."

Selena nodded her head. Of course she would. She had done it many times before. Given it was to shorter people than Mister Tall like Skyscrapers but she was pretty sure it would be the same thing. "Why? Don't believe me?" Selena asked with a smirk. Because if he didn't then she was going to tackle him, then sit on him. Whether he liked it or not. Selena's smirk quickly turned into a smile as he gave her the chocolates. "I knew you'd see it my way~" she said as she took the box and placed it with the rest of the sweets.

She continued knocking things randomly into her basket and then shrugged. "I don't know, I was running low on sugar, my elders all refuse to send me them anymore you see, so I had to get it myself," Selena said as she picked up some more sweets. "And definitely not seeing you, I was actually looking for Diggy, I'm hoping to run into him, I haven't seen him for a while," she sighed. "But it was nice running into you," Selena added. She picked up a bunch of Cockroach Clusters and tossed them at Sebastian. "Enjoy," she teased. Bugs? Ick.

Yeah her mood was rotten and now some loser was standing in the way of her candy healing. She let out a low growl. Did the person know that quite possibly he or she was in range of getting a world of her. She wouldn't mind getting to hex somebody into next year in order to blow off some of the steam. Yeah she was that ******. Why was the person standing there like a giant log anyways? People had to use the isles to get what they wanted and right now Cassie wanted chocolate and looots of it. She tightened her grip around her wand and could have sworn she saw sparks fly.

" yeah you should freaking watch it!" she retorted angrily. When she finally focussed on who it was her expression softened considerably. She relaxed her grip on her wand and then her shoulders slouched slightly." I'm sorry, hi El." she raked her hand through her hair and sghed." I'm just having one of those days." She shrugged. Cassie didn't even feel like flirting.

Oh, lordy. Cassandra Storm was obviously not in the best of moods. He should 'freaking watch it,' apparently, too. At least she changed her attitude when she realized it was him. "I understand," Elliott nodded, giving the girl a sympathetic frown of sorts. He moved away from the middle of the aisle a bit, then turned back to her again. "What's wrong, then?" He really didn't like seeing Cassie this way, especially because she was always so set on putting on this tough, untouchable facade all the time.

So, he rested his back against the shelf behind him and waited for Cassie to let him in.

Ok so she felt only a little bad about snapping at Elliott because really she was in a horrid mood and she was just so confused, what with the whole her maybe having a thing for Freddie and all that. She still couldn't understand how it happened to her. She was always so careful not to get attach to anyone. It was just flirt and go thing with her always and now everything was messed up. She was almost positive that he knew too.
" No you ruddy well don't understand." she said pouting.

She didn't want to snap at Elliott but she couldn't help it right now, well she wasn't trying to anyways because she wanted to blow off her steam.

And now he wanted to know what was wrong. She didn't want to let him know that she was becoming soft and vulnerable." Nothing's wrong, I'm just having a bad day that's all." she lied. Cassie even added a bright but fake smile to hopefully make what she said more believable.

Elliott waited for her to say something. And when she did.... well, it was a tad on the harsh side. He attributed this to some other cause, though, and not because she didn't like him or want to talk with him. "Well, then enlighten me," he countered, when she argued that he didn't 'ruddy well' understand. His arms hung somewhat limply at his sides and he tilted his head a little as if that would make her answer him honestly.

"People don't just have bad days without there being anything wrong." He wasn't stupid, and he could clearly see how transparent her responses were right now. "You can't expect me to believe that, at least." He knew better. He knew her better.

Cassie looked at him and immediately felt bad. This was Elliott after all, her flirt buddy and stuff and plus he was like the only she could hang with when they had to attend those launch parties. She needed to not be so totally testy with him right now. He really was a good guy but she was much too embarrassed right now to tell him what really was bothering her. Plus she had a reputation to maintain. Elliott knew her as the carefree flirty type and that's how she wanted to keep it. She didn't want him knowing how weak she was becoming.

She frowned at his comment. Yeah he was right but she wasn't about to tell him that now was she? Nope. She was going to lie her way out of telling him what was eating away at her insides." I broke a nail and stuff. But if you want to cheer me up buy me chocolate." She smiled at him but her brown eyes no doubt failed to reflect the usual spark that was normally there. Not waiting for a response she took his hand and pulled him down the isle for her chocolate fix.

Kurumi wandered the shelves and tried to stay as far away from chocolate frogs as she possibly could. She was still having nightmares about them from the chaos that had ensued in Charms class. Not only that, but looking at all the sweets helped her keep her mind of the events of her last visit to Hogsmeade when she had met Mrs. Elo and, well, learned that her father wasn't who he said he was.

Kurumi spotted some cockroach clusters, which reminded her that she still needed to figure out a recipe for cookies using the box she had in her trunk back at Hogwarts.

Venturing away from the creepy crawly variety, Kurumi made her way towards the fudge...fudge was safe and didn't have any legs...right?

Sebastian walked into Honeydukes Candy Shop. Sure, he wondered why he even came into here when he complains it all the time, but oh well, he was meeting Sophie. Might as well get some more candy, without his little apple-sized short person. Hah, he missed that munchkin. He walked around the shop, avoiding the chocolate of course, and looked around. Agh, he was getting hungry again. He heard the bell ring from the door and looked up seeing that it was a young first year, it seemed. Hmm, where was his girlfriend?

Jaina walked into Honeydukes with her friends. She began to search for her lemondrops. "Hey guys, do you see any lemon drops?" she called to her friends. She couldn't run out of lemon drops! That just NEVER happened!

Sophie had been held up by a first year at the school gates but not for very long. The young lion had lost track of her friends. After helping the girl back to her friends the Gryffindor prefect hurried in to Hogsmeade. She was longing for candy and the company of her boyfriend. She saw Sebastian walking ahead of her but not within calling range. Sophie didn't catch up with him until she made it into the candy shop. She gave him a hug and a peck on the cheek as a way of greeting "Hey, what candy are you getting?" Looking around she grimaced at the sight of liquorice. Not her type of candy. Sophie would have kissed him but not in the candy shop, too many eyes. She didn't want to be the next feature story in the Aparecium.

SUGAR.CANDY.

Oh yes, Not-so-Little Leopold O'Donald was in HEAVEN right now. If there was one thing he loved after spies and video games it was most certainly sweets. So naturally, the boy was excited. His arms flailed as he approached the display, letting out a faint YELP in the process. He couldn't help it, he was totally excited. Looking at the money in his pocket, which also help his watergun just INCASE someone shady snuck up on him, he frowned.

Of course he didn't HAVE much.

SIGH.

Whenever she visited Hogsmeade, Honeydukes was the first place on Ella's list, and today was no different. She walked in the shop casually with no particular expression, as if she was a regular customer that dropped by every day. Of course, she couldn't come here every day, because she was usually just locked up in Hogwarts like a prisoner. With coins jingling in her pocket as she strutted, her eyes wandered the shelves until she found the chocolate frogs. Ella grinned and was about to pick one up until she saw a kid freaking out a bit over the sweets.

Leaving the frogs momentarily, Ella smirked at the thought of having a bit of fun. She walked by the boy, and 'accidentally' bashed into him. "Oh, I'm so sorry, didn't see you there." She giggled, which made it pretty obvious that she DID see him. Woooooops, Ella was allowed to be a bully occasionally, right?

Charley glanced around the shoppe. "I don't see any around here. I'll go look farther back."
She started walking farther into Honeydukes. Nearly at the back wall, she saw a table stacked with bags of candy, including lemondrops.
"Jaina! Back here!" she called.

Walking in the Hogsmeade as he looked for his friends, Evan decided to enter the sugar shop. He was in need of sugar and chocolate, specifically. As he made his way to the various candies, he heard a familiar voice. Even though his logic ordered him not to turn, his heart had acted faster and the next moment he was seeing her kissing him.

Clearly disgusted at the sight, he rolled his eyes exaggeraingly and then groaned to himself. He still couldn't believe she had made that mistake. She was so getting hurt here.

Ignore. Seb. Totally.

As Sebastian was walking throughout the store he was caught off guard as Sophie hugged him and kissed him on the cheek. He grinned, putting an arm around her shoulders. "Not sure yet, maybe some peppermint humbugs or something." He shrugged. "Anything you have in mind?" Other than chocolate. Wait, did he even ever tell her about his allergy to chocolate? Ehh, he wasn't sure he did.

While Seb was waiting for Sophie to answer he noticed the familiar face of Mr. Evan Cartwright. Hehh. Well then, if Evan wanted to be ignored then that's that. "Don't make a scene but Evan seems to be a bit jealous." He whispered in his girlfriend's ear nodding in the direction of the slithery snake. Evan was going to be in for a horrible day here at Honeydukes, Sebastian could already tell.

MWAHAHAHA.

"Lets go to Honeydukes first...." Finlay commented as they got down onto the main street at Hogsmeade. At least they could much on candy then once they had been in this shop. Leading Marie over to the shop, he opened the door, before holding it open for her. "What candy do you want?" Because he did have every intention of buying the candy for her. It was what gentlemen did right? But he was going to make sure that he got some fudge, seeing as it was only thing he really wanted.

"Honeydukes it is." She said as she walked along side him all the way into Hogsmeade. Stepping into the shop as Finn held the door open for her Marie felt her mouth instantly start to water from the smell of all the chocolate. Oh, what did she want? It was so hard to chose. "Um, I think some sugar quills and maybe some chocolate walnut or maple fudge." Maybe if she had sugar quills then she wouldn't chew on her others and break them all the time. "What about you, what's your favorite candy in here?" Because when he wasn't looking she was so going to buy it for him and give it to him in a couple of weeks. She was so gonna make him her Valentine.

Mmmm. Finlay had to take a deep breath in when they stepped into the shop. It just smelt so nice. He could really spend all day in here, maybe he'd get a job here instead of going into quidditch, although he'd be far too tempted to just eat chocolate all day if he did. Maybe that would be a bad idea. "mmm...." She was making good choices, and he decided to have a wander over to the section with the fudge on. The fudge was his favorite, so he just needed to choose which one he wanted. "The fudge is my favorite...." He mused, glancing back at her with a smile. The only thing was... "I just love all the flavours too....It's hard to choose just one." So he was just going to pick any of them. He could get another at the next Hogsmeade right?

Well then, fudge is exactly what she would be buying him. Just as soon as he wasn't watching her. "They do have the best fudge in here." Heck they had the best of everything in here. "You love all of them?" Hmm, maybe she would get him a little of each, or maybe she would just get him all dark chocolate. "So why do you have to choose just one? Live life dangerously, choose two or three." And the ones he didn't choose... well that would be what she would get for him. Then he could have all of them.

Belle gave a quizzical look, "how did a muggle get into hogsmeade anyways?" she wasn't gonna let that borrow her the rest of the day. It is Janias birthday after all! Belle saw the lemon drops. "Umm guys, let me warn you i have a huge sweet tooth so i am gonna go over there and get some candy....." she trailed off and went to look around the whole store. "Dont worry Jania and Charley! i will be quick!" she called back. Her mouth was watering so much by how much candy there was.

Jaina was so relieved to see lemon drops! "Thank you, Charley! I know I'd die without them!" she giggled. "It's ok, Belle! Get your supplies until the next visit! Best to stock up now!" she teased Belle. After picking up about a half pound bag of lemon drops, she looked around the store. "I've never heard of these Bertie Bott's Every Flavor beans. Are they any good? What's an acid pop?" She paused a moment remembering how Ben said he couldn't wait to teach her about the wizarding world. She shook he head and put the memory away in her head. She couldn't dwell on I now. "Hey, what's that over there?" she asked as she walked over to the licorice snaps display.

"I don't think he's a muggle, but a confused old man. Usually there are charms over areas populated by wizards and witches so that muggles can't see them. There's one on the school; I'd assume there'd be something over here in town," said Charley.
She giggled a bit. "All right, have fun finding something. Don't get more than you can carry!" she warned, even though she did have a bag with an extension charm so she really could carry anything in it.

"Bertie Bott's are some of the most popular candy in the magic world. They're jelly beans, but you'd best be careful; it's not a lie when they say 'every flavour'. Some of them are truly horrid." She grabbed five small packets of the candies, one for each of them and one for either Ben or Nathaniel.
"Acid pops and liquorice snaps are not as popular. Acid pops will burn a hole right through your tongue; they're usually used for pranks, although any damage is rather easily fixed. Liquorice snaps are really just liquorice; I think they're rather good, but I recommend the liquorice wands. I'd stick with candy you know, though, Jaina, most magical sweets are, well, magical."
