As always the first stop Asher made on a Hogsmeade weekend was to Honeydukes. Being one of the Slytherins favorite candy stores ever. One of his nicknames was evern Honeyduke. ( Thanks to Anya!)

He had gotten up extra early, and got ready to leave to the little town. He ran by the other shops in town, knowing that they would soon be filled with students. Asher was pretty sure that he was the first one at the shop.

As he approached the doors into the shop, he could already smell the fudge and candles. He pulled the door open as it had just opened. Knowing exactly what he wanted and how much of it he wanted. He got to work, grabbing a few bags he headed to the back of the store.

The first thing Mika did when she went to Hogsmeade was stop by Honeydukes. Because it was the BEST and only place to get decent candy during the school term. She had no idea what Alice would want so she was going to buy one hundred deliciously awesome Jelly Slugs for her and lug them over to the girl...and some other things for herself as well.

She opened the door to the shop and briskly walked in. And upon entering she picked up a bundle of bags.

She was already dreading picking up a hundred of those slimy candies. Slime and Candy didn't go well in her book.

So the first thing she did was head to the back of the store and look at the array of candies. Though when she got there she spotted another boy. Someone who looked remotely familiar.

"Hello!" She smiled and waved to the boy. He was about her age - maybe older...though seeing he looked to be about fourteen she wasn't going to be all that shocked if he was fourteen and only a few meager months older than her.

"Do you know any undetectable expansion charms?" She asked rather nonchalantly. "I've got to get a friend a gift of a hundred jelly slugs." She added with a slightly stressed expression plaguing her face. She just wanted CHOCOLATE and now.

Laurawas a bit worried about today, she had no idea what she would talk about with the Librarian, and she had a mind to stand him up in case any of her friends saw her but she in the end decided to come to where they had decided to meet and it seemed like she was the first one here, which was awesome because normally she was always late for things because she didn't want to get out of bed.

She looked at her appearance and smiled, she had decided to try and dress nice for the occasion and she hoped that the Librarian would appreciate it because she wasn't used to dressing up but she was with a member of the staff and she didn't want them thinking that she wasn't well behaved out of school, just because she was a bit mischievous in school didn't mean she was mischievous out of school, when she wasn't at school she tried her best to be polite and she would do the same today, if the Librarian was polite to her she would be polite to him.

Elliot stood outside of the candy shop waiting for Astrid...Asteroid. hehe. She liked the girl...she was funny and sassy, and honestly Elliot was reminded a bit of herself. The fifteen year old shoved her hands in her pocket and clicked her tongue impatiently...MERLIN where was she?! Though...if she WAS anything like Elliot...she'd be late. NOt that Elliot was late on accident...she usually did it to be funny. Or to make a point. not today, though. Elliot was right on time to meet her friend.

I need some chocolate for Sam...and I guess some gummy candy of some sort for Darius... he was only two, and Elliot had no earthly CLUE what two year olds ate...and she didn't know what he even liked. She would buy candy for herself, but...she knew Max would probably want to buy her some butterscotch.

Sometimes she wished she candy...like normal people...but then again...it was probably a good thing. Elliot would never get faaattt!

Heh. ^__^

Astrid was on a date okay? Yes, she was on a date with someone. It was fishy, of course. A thirteen year old on a date. People would stop, look, and go 'Aaaww!' but in this case, nobody did. She was on a friend date with the Empress of Idiots, Elliot. The name sounded almost like idiot so now you understand the name system. Anyway, she was on a friend date at Honeyduke's. Only cos of sweets. Yumyumyum~

The little girl pushed the door open and saw PEOPLE. There were lots (a number more than one is MANY, for you information) already and she pouted because she thought she'd be the FIRST to arrive. Boo. But anyway, being the first to arrive wasn't why she was here, remember? The brunette looked around for some tall blonde with the name Elliot. Hmm. There was a shorter blonde, but that wasn't the Empress. Too SHORT. That left the tall blonde looking for butterscotch. That must be her.

BEAM. Astrid walked behind the older girl. "BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" she said, mimicing a tracker. "My tracking device says you must be Empress Idiot" More beams. She waved at the blonde. "Haaiiiii!"

Elliot jumped up, hearing the LOUD and ANNOYING beeps...and whipped around, scowling and about to SNAP! But then she heard the name 'Empress idiot' and smirked...hehehehe.

"Yes, Empress Idiot..." she curtsied and waved her hand in a queenly fashion. "Bow doooown!" she ordered...but only playfully. OKay maybe she was serious...but she honestly didn't expect Astrid to follow her orders. No no no! She patted the shorter girl on the head and smirked more..."Asteroid..pleasure to meet you...your pleasure to meet me, really, sweetie," she winked and turned back to look at the sweet...looking..butterscotch. GAH.

Then, suddenly, she cried, "OY! Are you a chocolate expert?! or a gummy expert?!" she asked quickly...because she had no idea what was good or ANYTHING when it came to candy and such...since she only ate Butterscotch..."Do you eve KNOW my real name?" she teased, eyeing the most expensive of the butterscotch items...

It was the weekend at last! Cassia had been waiting for it to come she had gone short on candy and her candy stash needed to be refilled immediately or else serious damage could happen and no one wanted that! So yeah this shopping trip was inevitable.

And Because company was very essential thing to the snake she was accompanied by her best friend and fellow spy. And then there was the fact that she thought having Theo would be useful since she planned to buy LOADS of stuff and a growing boy would surely help her carry all some of the stuff she bought. Yup she totally was going to make use of her friend's growing. He wouldn't mind! Why would he!

And though the two were here for candy purposes that didn't mean they couldn't turn to spying mood when the need for spying arose. They were always ready! Though there was some unsettled stuff to their business between her and Buttress but now wasn't the time. Because it was shopping time!

"This shop is going to suffer a huge loss in goods once I step out," She announced as she stepped in. Yup her bag was full of galleons and she intended to spend every single knot. "You know I consume candy a lot s-.." Cassia paused aware that it was Theo she was talking to and not Blue. So she couldn't possibly tell him why she needed candy. "Since it helps me think and stuff. " And that wasn't a lie actually.

Casting a general look around her, she noticed that the shop mostly had fellow students. Obviously all Hogwartians needed candy, "So lead the way!" She said with a grin towards her friend. The way to the shelves of course. Maybe he'd help her carry whatever she bought if she was extra nice and less bossy….For now.

If Empress Idiot snapped on Astrid, she wouldn't care. She was already confident that Elliot LOVED her. Heh. #ConceitedAstrid

Bow down? No. "I'd rather curtsy, it's much more prettier," she said and then curtsied. Just like the Empress did. Bowing was plain and lame. Bleh. Astrid wanted UNIQUE and something not so common. Not much curtsy in these parts, she thought. Oh. OH! "Pleasure to meet you." She said and then smirked back at Elliot too. They were awesome, okay? And then food.

Wait. O______O Uhm. "Of course I know chocolate," she said. "And gummies too. You seem to be having a sweet crisis," Astrid said as she petted the Empress's hand all pitifully. Poor Elliot. "You can ALWAYS ask help from ME." She could be a sweet pro, you know. She was here to buy the, too, and some gummies for Cliodna. Her REAL NAME? "Course I do, Elliot Morganzo." Hehe, then Astrid winked at Elliot.

More...prettier. Elliot rolled her eyes and scowled. "Your lack of correct grammar does not please meeee..." she said, just trying to sound all..smart and such. Because Ell was a Ravenclaw...she had to be a genius...like, all the time. Right? Wasn't that a thing? Ravenclaws had reputations! *nods*

So far the frienddddate! was going well. She liked Asteroid. She was kind of cute...in a sassy way. Elliot really didn't like...non-sassy people. Because sassy people were just the best. And most interesting...Elliot was sassssy! *sass* Hehe. She poked Astrid in the arm.

"Sweets crisis? YES. I HATE sweets..." she made a face as if she had just been forced to eat hippogriff dung..."But I need stuff for my siblings..." she shrugged..."I'll buy you candy if you help meeee?" she smirked. Money was really a lovely thing, wasn't it? It bought you anything you wanted...

Merlin..I sound eleven again...paying people and whatnot... she snorted at herself and smirked back at Asteroid. "Good. Remember the name...one day I'll be Empress of the WORLD." She snickered...Empress Elliot. Had SUCH a lovely ring to it...

Wooooh, Hogsmeade.

Despite him loving Diagon Alley way more than Hogsmeade, Theo was still happy to be here, since he knew that Honeydukes was one of the BEST places to get the best kind of candy. And of course, where else would you find Theodore on a Hogsmeade trip? Nowhere, right? He came along with one of his besties, and fellow spy, Cassia. Which was cool and stuff even though she was being weird lately.

She must have her reasons. Reasons that he had already discussed with West.

"Me too, I still have a ton of birthday money left over!" Theo beamed as the door jingled when it opened. The general smell of the shop just wreaked of awesome. His dentist would really kill him if he were here, though. Theo didn't like to think of that. He paused and waited for Cassia to finish her sentence. And he wasn't DUMB, you know. It was clear that she totally changed what she was about to say. "Hmm..." He muttered, giving her the eyes. But he'd let it slide.

TO THE CHOCOLATE FROGS.

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.......

But there was that one item that ALWAYS caught his eye, since he had always wanted to try it but never had the guts. Blood pops. Those damn blood pops. He turned to Cassia, "Wanna try one of those?" So he could see what it was like before he graced his precious lips with one.

Did he say he had birthday money? Cassia looked in awe at him. "I spent mine the same week," She stated glancing at her bag which she had bought this summer. She was trying to show her grandmother that should could be a lady and shop on her own. Fortunately, she's been saving her allowance for such times.

And she made a mental note that Theo had pockets full of money in case she run out of money. Yeah, yeah she'd give it back. And out of curiosity she asked, " How come you still have them since June?" She asked with a puzzled look. Did he have some kind of a safe with a lock or something. Though even if Cassia had one it wouldn't have stopped her from breaking into her own safe and retrieving the money. She wondered if she should taking out a parchment and a quill to write down whatever wisdom Theo was going to spell. Unless he didn't want to share with her the secrets of such accomplishment .

Ignoring the look she received, the snake followed Theo, her sneakers squeaking against the floor a reminder of where she spent the rest of her money. Cassia clutched her bag tightly in one hand and stretched her other arm out to reach for some chocolate frogs when Theo pointed at something. She turned her gaze at them and her eyebrows furrowed seeing what she saw. "Blood pops," She uttered , "I have never tried them," She admitted and she wondered how come she never considered trying them. "Have you tried them? What do they taste like? Do you recommend them?" She asked all at once. You know she needed information because nothing that had 'blood' in its name was going down her throat until she had a full review about the effects of eating one.

"They don't have an appealing name, you know?" She added eyeing the shelf. Was she game to eat those?

Well maybe boys had better control over money than girls did? Maybe that was best kept as an inner thought. Theo just shrugged, "There's not much to spend it on at school." And he really didn't do as much shopping over the summer as he would've hoped. Purely cos he didn't have much to spend it on, other than candy.

Which is what he was gonna do right now.

CAAAAAAAAAANDY.

"And in the summer my mum was very strict on me buying candy and stuff." Again, because of the whole dentist thing. But there were no mums or dentists HERE, were there?! Mwahahaha...

Oh darn, Cassia hadn't tried the blood pops either. To be honest, Theo couldn't blame her cos they sounded horrible. His curious mind was just TOO much for him some times. He picked one up off the side and examined it. Just looked like a strawberry lollipop, he supposed. Trickery. Trickery of the mind. "I've never tried them. Apparently they taste like blood." And they were made for the vampires. Which made Theo very curious at the thought of vampires entering Honeydukes..

Did they? Did Catty and Buttress have another suspicious activity to monitor?

Anyway.... "Try one?" Do it?

If Empress Idiot snapped on Astrid, she wouldn't care. She was already confident that Elliot LOVED her. Heh. #ConceitedAstrid

Bow down? No. "I'd rather curtsy, it's much more prettier," she said and then curtsied. Just like the Empress did. Bowing was plain and lame. Bleh. Astrid wanted UNIQUE and something not so common. Not much curtsy in these parts, she thought. Oh. OH! "Pleasure to meet you." She said and then smirked back at Elliot too. They were awesome, okay? And then food.

Wait. O______O Uhm. "Of course I know chocolate," she said. "And gummies too. You seem to be having a sweet crisis," Astrid said as she petted the Empress's hand all pitifully. Poor Elliot. "You can ALWAYS ask help from ME." She could be a sweet pro, you know. She was here to buy the, too, and some gummies for Cliodna. Her REAL NAME? "Course I do, Elliot Morganzo." Hehe, then Astrid winked at Elliot.

Sweets? Well some would say that having a little, or maybe a lot of sugar would do wonders for your mood and seeing as how bleh his mood currently was, he was willing to give consuming as many different chocolates as possible a go.

It was the first place that Terry visited when the students had been allowed to visit Hogsmeade. He had wandered along the pathway and entered the little shop. He had to admit that the colourful jars full of Humbugs and Whizbees did look inviting and couldn't help to bring a smile to his face. He plunged his hand into his pocket and tossed the coins around his fingers. It seemed like he would have enough for a few. He was starting to feel better already.

The third year ran his hand along the shelf and stopped among the humbugs, his eyes searching along the labels trying to work out what he wanted to get. Maybe the peppermint?

Despite looking alright, the boy longed for a bit of company. A smile would be nice from a friendly face, a hug would be even better.

*sigh*

Well, that wasn't really a reason since Cassia never spent her money when she was at school. It was the couple of days before school when she was shopping for school that she gotten herself broke! And then she'd ask her brother to lend her some money. And speaking of that she owned Mike a fortune. She pushed the memory to the back of her head. She'd someday pay him back. "I suppose.." She agreed. Oh and his mother being strict was a totally a better reason. "My grandmother doesn't approve of much candy as well," She said but she didn't say that her mother always let her store loads without the knowing of the grandmother. Her mother was sweet...If only her grandmother had her own house to live. Humph. "Though it payed off," She said. "You know your mother being strict and all." And she wanted to add that it payed off for both since the snake considered that if needed money, Theo would be her first choice in case her brother decided to stop helping.

Vampires...

That made the girl's adrenaline pomp in her. She got excited you know. Because vampires are somehow exciting and interesting. Except that she wouldn't want to face one any time soon. Hearing stories was enough for her. Her imagination could do it all. "Well, I'm not sure blood is delicious," She pointed out though she guessed that Theo already knew that. But just a reminder.

Was that a challenge.

Cassia's eyes glimmered smelling a dare there, "I would if you did," She folded her arms across her chest. You know situations like this when dares were taken ,needed poses. And she's been working on her poses in the dormitory. Why else does she spend alot of time there. Mhhmm.

Reaching for one she stared at it for a bit, "We count to three and try them at the same time.." She challenged with a squealing voice. Theo knew she squeaked when she got excited. Nothing new. Could they eat before they pay? Would the shopkeeper mind. They surely were going to pay after all...Unless they turned into vampires and ate the shopkeeper. Do Vampires eat shopkeepers?

Asher saw a hand waving in his direction. Mmmm hello random person waving at me. But because Asher was a little on the weird side he waved back. He was sure that he'd seen the girl before around the castle. The slytherin through that the girl was even in his year.

He looked at the girl. "Do I know any what?" He looked sightly confused at the girl. "Oh undetectable expansion charms? I know some." but had he ever cast one before? He never actually preformed one before.

O.O

A hundred jelly slugs? That was a lot of jelly slugs. He blinked at the girl for a minute. "A hundred? A HUNDRED?" He said ecstatically. He pulled out his wand, if someone wanted a hundred jelly slugs someone was going to get them. "I can try it if you want me to?"

Hopefully he wouldn't blow up the shop, trying.

Time to restock the candy stash. And what better place than Honeydukes? Well, it was the only place in Hogsmeade to get candy. But that was no skin off Sky's back. Just as long as she got in some candy buying before going off to watch her aunt crush the competition in the debate. And really, Honeydukes did have some pretty awesome tasting candy. Now if only she could decide what she wanted.....

Finally, Hogsmeade weekend! Ira had been itching to go to Hogsmeade.. She had like, forgotten to bring sweets and toffees from home, and was like, so candy-deprived these days!

She skipped happily into Honeydukes, smiling wide at the smell of sweets in the air. Hmm.. this was surely the best smell ever! And what would she have? A little of everything. Little this and little that would add up to make a lot of this and that, right?

Then, seeing another not-so-familiar girl standing ahead, she thought of who she was.. Nope, Ira didn't exactly recognize her. No matter, now was the time to make new friends, right? Going ahead, she stood besides the girl, and smiled at her, "Hi!"

"Well um..." she just blinked - he looked a bit confused and wide eyed? Was he part deer or something?

He looked even more shocked when she brought up the amount of jelly slugs. "Well I could always just get a trash bag" she offered. "I mean then I could just drag a bag of Jelly slugs to Alice" she smirked. "I've got to apologize for potions class...I was the girl who puked on people." She muttered and winced as she said it aloud - she'd honestly thought she had been thinking.

"But yeah lets try!" She clapped excitedly. Pfft she was going to be AWESOME and hey this kid was cool. "I'm Mika by the way, Mika Johason" she left out the Ravenclaw because of course it was obvious. She was just that brilliant and brought a trashbag with her if needed.

Though a wheel-barrow would have been cooler.

Leo walked down to the Hogsmeade village from the castle wondering just what the day would have in store for him. The only certain thing was that he would spent most of it with Laura Hyde, who had won him in the fundraiser's auction. Clad for the day in forest green coloured robed under his black coat Leo pushed opened the door to the candy shop and headed inside.

He let his eyes take in the sight of all the candy for a moment before he started to scan for Laura. Spotting the badger girl not too far away he put on a friendly smile and voice as he came up level with her. "Good day Laura!" Gesturing towards the candy in front of them he asked to get the conversation going. "So what kinds of candy do you like?"

Laura stood there for a couple of minutes waiting for the Librarian, she was hoping he wouldn't be too long because she could probably buy loads if he took ages she just loved candy, anyway she took out a small mirror from her bag and made sure her hair was just how she wanted it, when she was satisfied that it was she put it away and looked up just in time to see the Librarian walk in.

Laura smiled as he came up-to her, she had no idea what would happened today but she hoped that it wouldn't end up with shouting or anything strange like that. "Good Day Sir." Laura was going to be very polite and helpful today. "I like Chocolate Frogs Sir." Laura give the Librarian a massive smile. "Sir can I ask what sort of candy do you like?" Laura wanted to know for future references.

Still debating what to get, Sky turned when she heard some come up. "Hello," she replied pleasantly, which was slightly different for her. Okay, so she felt like being nice. So sue her. "I'm trying to decide what to get...." Maybe this girl could recommend something. And how rude, she had forgotten to introduce herself! "I'm Sky Carter-Hope, by the way." And that may just have been a bad move, she thought, biting her lip. Depends on if she reads the Aprecium or not.......

Being around so much candy was not very advisable since Leo usually ended up buying more candy then he needed. He could guess that Laura was similar since most children liked candy in big amounts. “Chocolate frogs are yummy. Any other candy you would like? I'm buying today.” Yes Leo was going to buy Laura candy since he was feeling generous and in a good mood on this wintery day with the promise of snow hanging in the air.

"Yes you may. I like chocolate frogs but also cauldron cakes, jelly slugs and bertie botts all falvoured beans even if I always get the most suspicious flavours." Leo told her with a slight grimace.

It was kinda depressing, that Blue was all on her lonesome this trip.

Bliss was busy being all lovey-dovey with West and Blue was really to lazy to go find anyone else, to be honest. She made her way through Hogsmeade, wrapped up nice and warm, twirling her plait around her forefinger. This time last year, she was with her favourite oldest fake!sister, Eve. The thought made her sad cause she missed Eve. Like a lot. A heavenly smell caught her attention and that meant ONE THING. A beam erased Blue's sad, pathetic face and a hand went to her pocket, making sure she had money.

YESSSSSS.

The third year marched into the store and took a moment to adjust to the hot air. Rows and rows of bright coloured sweets aligned the walls and the sight only widened her beam. Another sight added to her ever-growing beam and she made her way over to her friend.

"Hey Terry!"
