Theo blinked at all of the people in the great hall, then watched as his cauldron transformed into a pretty thing, with the words Creamy Caramel written on it. Cooool... He dumped the cauldron on a table then looked over the hall at everyone trying the syrup. His stomach was still feeling really dodgy, though, so he was gonna avoid it for now.

But HELLO - there was ice cream here, too! Theo grabbed a bowl of that and tucked in before he made any effort to get his syrup out there for the others to try.

GASP! Hufflepuff captain say whaaaaaaaat? Oh, but she did know where they were. "Ah, very well then. Thank you, Miss Ella." And he was off leaping and singing towards the gummies. Needed to really turn his ice cream sundae into something of epic proportions.

I'm sure she could add more into your already delicious-filled ice cream with her gummy worms! They're awesome. Maybe not as awesome as Pickles, but together they're even more awesome as a Gummy-Pickle!" Was his ice cream induced energy peaking? Sounded like it.. or perhaps just getting started.

"Thaaaaaaaaank you," he grinned at the boy. "I just came from seeing her actually, said they were over that a ways." Cue epic and dramatic pointing towards the table of goodies. "I'll just add a little bit of everything."

"I am sure I wiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIll!" the astronomer sang as he spun off towards his next area.

"While you're at that table, will you get me some more crushed chocolate bars for my ice-cream, please? I have to stay here and watch my cauldron, get more people to try it and all that."[/SIZE]

"Certainly, Miss Cambridge. More topping makes for an even bigger party in the mouth, yeah?" he said with a wide grin. He was just about to pop a spoon full of his...concoction into his mouth when he spotted a certain someone that he had been wanting to see.

For good reasons. Don't worry Head Boy.

His urge to go to parties won out over his Ice Cream hatred however and Oakey went to the Great Hall.

He grabbed a bowl and took some Ice Cream...So now he needed Syrup yeah? Chocolate, Caramel, Marshmallow, or Butterscotch. These were just as unhealthy as the Ice Cream. he rather eat it plan, or just let it melt in his bowl while he stood around now regretting to have come here.

"MR. GUNTER!" Airey greeted while giving the boy a firm few pats on the back. "I wanted to thank you for what you did for me during your event." The slime candy, but surely that went without saying. "Real quick thinking there and you showed great leadership and poise during that hectic time." PAT PAT PAT PAT "You have come quite a long way, young man. You should be proud." PAT PAT PAT PAT

Now he really should enjoy some ice cream in celebration of his good deeds.

Because see, his cauldron had just changed the ugly look into a glittery, shiny thing with the writing Decadent Fudge on it.

Wow Professor Lafay. She never ceased to impress this little boy.

Setting his cauldron down somewhere, he turned towards the gate and just grinned at people in an effort to bring them to his cauldron.

"Mr. Charlton! I'll take some of yours as well," he said as he THRUST the bowl in the boy's direction. "Go ahead and just dribble some of it over all of it." You know, all the ice cream, gummy worms, pickles, rainbow sprinkles, jelly slugs, and whatever else he had thrown on his ice cream. He couldn't even remember what all was there at the moment. Mostly because he had not really been paying attention as he had added to the bowl.

Nevertheless, it was pushed faaaar from her mind when Airey, dear sweet helpful and ever fantastic Airey, told her who had the gummy bears. Ella. Ellaaaa. ELLA! WHERE WAS MISS ELLSABAAA?

"OOOOOHH THANK YOU!"

SHOUTING WAS FUN!

While waiting for one of his favorite Hufflepuffs Mr. Charlton to add some of his syrup to his ice cream bowl, Airey jumped mildly up and down in place and noted Medea was next to him once again. THAT earned another wiiiiiiiide grin from the astroman.

He should have brought another ice cream rose with him. OH! Actually that reminded him...

Reaching into his charmed breast pocket, Airey diligently pulled out a box and opened it up. "OoooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooh Medeeeeeeeea!" he said as he leeeeeeeeeeeaned towards her and presented her once again with his gift. "Found it when I went back to the Tower Patch. Told you it would be alright." And she got another kiss on the cheek in celebration. WOOT! Score one for the Space Man!

Not that he had made a separate trip to the Tower Patch just to find the rose or anything. Nope.

Spoon in hand, Airey pooped a very large helping off....could one even call what was in his bowl an ice cream sundae? It was a mutant sundae if so. Anyway, he shoved some ice cream into his mouth and made sure to get a good helping of Miss Cambridge's chocolate syrup while he did.

"WOoooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOW! Goodness gracious great balls of fire!" he sang. "Miss Cambridge! Your syrup is legen----" But he suddenly stopped talking and his eyes crossed briefly before he shook his head and his facial expression dropped. That wasn't the only thing that dropped. His bowl of ice cream fell to the floor as well and the man began to stumble around. He stumbled and sort of fell towards Medea and wore the facial expression of a kicked cruppy.

There may have been some slight lip wibbling going on as well.

She couldn't help but smile to the Gorgeous and was a liar about that, but he was an adorable little fourth year wasn't he. She gave him a sweet smile. "Sure Ascanius I always keep a nice stash in my bag." She couldn't be without her muggle candy, so she always had it in her bag. Pulling out a double pack she handed them over to him. This is.." She wanted to say fun, exciting, but half way through the second bowl she was feeling odd... What was going on.. She sat down right where she was and felt dazed. Sad thoughts were filling her head, but why. She looked back at Ascanius , "I.. I.. don't feel right." Something had to have made her feel this sad so quickly, but she didn't feel like it mattered either way.


Hearing voices she looked up, "Laura..." Her voice sounding shaky with emotion.. "I..have syrup you can have it.. I'm not feeling like ice cream right now. Beezus you too... Ascanius have some right here as well." Go ahead and take the syrup. She didn't want it anymore. She put her head in her hands as all the sad filled her. Her sad puppy face she looked towards Ascanius and tried to force a smile, but she didn't even care to try and she let out a sad sniffle.

"Syrup.....syrup..." So many syrup flavors to choose from! Meep! Could she possibly have some of those mallows first though? They look like a delight.

Beezus was about to head over to the Hufflepuff who was giving out the said treat when another Hufflepuff caught her attention, being that the girl mentioned her name. Wearing a small smile as she melted some ice cream in her mouth, she turned to Minerva and raised an eyebrow. She had syrup? .....Well, okay. Beezus headed over, now grinning. "Chocolate syrup?" Choco was good too, even if she was still allergic. She took her monthly dose of antillergen potion anyway. "Thank yoooouuuu!" Syrup swirlage on ze ice cream, yo!

But..."Uhm...Min. Are you okay?" Blink. Blink.

Cassia's eyes were wandering around the table as she tried to decide on which flavor. Maybe she could have more than one! OF COURSE! In fact she MUST! Pfffft. Silly her, now she just had to decide on which one to start with. Easier decision. She grabbed a bowl of raspberry ice-cream then turned to Lex. "SURE!" She said adding some of Lex's syrup to her bowl. "I think this the first time we brewed something in potions and got to taste it," Though it was realistic since most potions have unpleasant effects so it probably was a good thing.

ANYWAY! Back to ice-cream. Cassia looked around searching for a spooooon! A spooon people! Where were the spoons. She decided that in three seconds if she doesn't spot a spoon she was going to scoop the ice-cream with her bare hands! Making a huge exception and severely violate the lady-code. Blue wouldn't be happy about it. Eeeh. She wasn't here? Though luckily, she spotted a spoon. The blond grabbed for it and dove with it into the bowl taking a huge spoonful. "That tasted very good!" She said in awe to her friend.

"Taste MINE!" She said pointing to her own cauldron.

Complicated! Pffffffft.

"I was thinking narrow-mindedly." She said. "But since THEN! I figured that assignments such as those are hugely appreciated." She said shoving another spoon into her mouth.

Cassia stood bowl in hand watching as people tasted each other's syrups.But no one tasted hers! Except for like Lex. She eyed her cauldron, did not look nice. But BUT it turned out just as Professor Lafay said it should. Then what! She decided it was her bad advertising skills. She walked over at the center of the hall and looked around! A certain phrase caught her attention. Someone wanted syrup. The blond looked left and right searching for the voice's source! THERE! The Librarian. One of her favorite adults.

The snake skipped towards the man and beamed at him, "Hi, sir!" She said brightly. "Come taste my syrup!" She offered enthusiastically pointing over her shoulder to where her cauldron was. Did he see where? What if he went and tasted someone else's syrup.

Casually, she reached for his hand and pulled him lightly and nicely because he was the librarian, towards her cauldron, "I hope you like chocolate. There are other flavours but mine is chocolate," She babbled while heading towards her cauldron. "We made those in potions by the way," In case he didn't know.


After leading the Librarian and standing by her cauldron also offering bowls and spoons. She looked around, cleared her throat, "Ahem..Anyone wanna taste my syrup! I'll taste yours!" See advertising! HA! It takes a Slytherin to figure it out. Or not.

:>>>>>>>>>

"You're welcome, Professor! I hope my syrup makes your already awesome ice cream taste even more awesome!" Oh? Captain Ella was over theeeeeere? Wade motioned his hand over his brows as if searching, and aha! "Thank you for letting me know Professor!" Wade started from walking over, to briskly walking, to *almost skipping* He had to be careful with that mountain bowl of ice cream that he only had a couple bites from. Oh wait, he needed to get Minnie Mouse's syrup. Yes, that sounded good.

Wade positively beamed as she sprinkled on the the reeses cups, "I KNOW, isn't it AWESOME?!" Nodding quite fast as she told him to come back for seconds. "Thank you! Oh, and heeello Ethan!" He also saw Ethan and returned his wave just as cheerfully.. times fifty. Perhaps now would be best to finish off that mountain of ice cream before he tries to get Ella to give him gummy worms, Wade didn't want to come off as greedy. Though there was no such thing as being greedy with ice cream for him.

He practically skipped while spooning in the delicious ice cream mountain of his. Scoop after scoop, after scoop.. Hmm.. Halfway through, the extra pep in his skipping lessened. Then after three-fourths of the bowl, his brows furrowed.. deeply. There was no rush in getting more now. After just about finishing it, he stopped walking and just sat down on the floor as his bowl fell.

I don't want anymore.. I don't.. need anymore.. I don't.. deserve.. Wade brought his knees to his chest before he hugged himself.

As he sat, eating ice cream topped with each of the syrups, Asher remembered he still had his bowl of ice cream to give away from Charms class.

"Would anyone like to have a delicious bowl of ice cream that will not melt until you eat it?" He looked around, hoping there would be someone in the Great Hall that would take it.

Once they were safely away from everyone Cece looked at the prefect and spoke in a hushed tone. "I'm going to make this quick so listen carefully." And if he didn't well let's just say she wasn't going to repeat herself. "You may find this hard to believe but I did hear what you were saying in detention." There, she admitted she really was listening to the boy. "I can see that Minerva is already eating the ice cream and syrup, and this is a good thing. She needs to eat that syrup. All the flavors if she wants." She looked over at the girl shoveling the ice cream in her face, than back at Ethan. "Trust me, things will be changing soon. You will be seeing a whole new Minerva by the end of the day." She then leaned in and whispered something to him.

She moved away from the boy. "It wouldn't hurt you to eat some ice cream with her. Show her that you are there for her. I promise, nothing will happen to you, as long as you eat the syrup too. Now go, get back over to your girlfriend and help her."

Oh right, Ella was meant to get people to eat her syrup too. The blonde set her bowl down, now filled with various toppings, and called out, "I've got some delicious caramel syrup if anyone would like to try it!" BEAM! There...job done. Now to get herself some syrup and start eating.

The blonde smiled at Kace and then moved her attention to her own bowl, eyeing the topics. "I've got a bit of everything, actually." Grin! "Well, except for the pickles. I'll save those for Wade." And she nudged the first year gently as her eyes scanned the crowd for the curly headed badger. He was here, yeah?


N'awww! Her other ickle badger. Ella BEAMED when she heard Tobias' voice and wandered over to the first year, bowl in hand. "Hey there, Keeper!" Grin! "Y'know, I totally agree. Marshmallow is the bestest. I'll definitely take some of that." And she held out her bowl, a smile on her face. The sooner she covered this ice cream in syrup, the sooner she could nom.

Aw. Airey looked disappointed. The blonde badger bit her lip and called out, "Sorrrryyyyy Professor!" She really was. Gummy worms had been forgotten as of late because the ice cream was amazinggggg even without them. O.o Had she really just thought that? Merlin!

Whilst he wanted on Alice to cave and Mr. Leobald to notice him...Dylan seen a Cassia and snatched her up immediately...Well, not LITERALLY snatched her...

"Somerlad, I will. Ice cream for ice cream..." The Slytherin didn't know if she was infected or not...but whatevs. Just to be safe...

Hmmmmm? HMMMMM?

Come on, he had his BEST smile on...

She was starting to suspect her advertising techniques were going to pay off until she heard her name. And correctly-said! Maybe the captain will teach Romanos to say it correctly withOUT the N!

"Cool!" See, Slytherins understood deals.

Returning the smile with a bigger one, Cassia went to the captain's cauldron and added some of the syrup to her bowl. She would have hesitated if it was someone else whom she didn't trust their potions' skills. But in this case she didn't.

"Please help yourself," She said brightly motioning to her cauldron. She didn't know how much he wanted to add so she wouldn't force anything on him. "And thanks!" She added with a beam.

Letting his eyes drift over the student’s has he readied his bowl with ice cream Mr Kitridge spotted a young boy; a first year with grin on his face and a cauldron full of Decadent fudge. Wasn’t that the boy he had met by the swamp earlier in term?

Intrigued he Leo danced over to the boy. "Hello there Forrest, may I try your topping?"



Leo had just gotten himself a big spoon when he heard and saw a familiar snakette skip over in his direction. Beaming he greeted her. "Hi Cassia." Grabbing his bowl on the fly as the young girl pulled him away to her cauldron Leo nodded enthusiastically when he stopped to look into it. "Of course i’ll try your chocolate topping. Come sprinkle some on my ice cream." He gestured to his bowl.. Furrowing his brows he echoed in amazement. "You made chocolate in potions class?"

Hearing another voice close by, the Slytherin Captain’s Leo looked up and caught the blond boy’s eye. "Hello, master Montmorency!" he beckoned the boy closer with his cauldron. "What kind of chocolate do you have? Milk cholocolate? Dark chocolate or a chocolaty surprise?"

Still not doing anything with his Ice Cream he started to see some of it began to melt. He was about to just leave this when he was slapped hard on the back! "ow...Um. Yeah, I kind of remember Our chat after you ended my det..." Oakey couldn't really finish his sentence because Flamsteed continued to slap his back more, and more. Oakey decided it was best just to stay silent and take the compliments and hard hits to his back. That did not mean his silence meant he was unhappy. Flamsteed put a smile on his face."You have anymore of those Mechabots?" Oakey spoke up and turned facing the Professor. "I saw a comic on one of them a while back. Crazy story really." If the Astro Professor let him Oakey would promis not to put the Head of the Robot where it's bottom would be.

So yes she had made her potion and now she was making her way to the Great Hall to see something happen to it because that's what Lafay had told everyone. Now here she was. Kat arrived at the Great Hall with her cauldron, which was surprisingly now as heavy as she thought it would be. Relief, that was it. She placed her cauldron on the long table but then...


Why did it look different? IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SHINY. Gooey Marshmallow. Weird name. Heh. Cringe. Anyway... flavour-enhanced syrups you know. And then... Merlin, it had gummy bears as topping. And it looked tempting... really tempting. Could she eat it? Was Dylan still strict about that diet? LOOK, people, she had butterscotch thingies on top as well.

... Wow. Advertise this ice cream. It looked amazing.

"I HAVE MORE MARSHMALLOW IF YOU GUYS WANT SOME." Because she was sharing and she somehow KNEW this was an antidote. Professor Lafay was a smart woman who knew a lot of things that most of the Hogwarts people lacked. Thanks to her Head of House. Kat was starting to miss "normal" things in here.

The ice cream crazies better try some of it NOW. Like now. This moment.

Oh good, he seemed to be liking it so far. Awesome. She smiled. And she was about to answer his question, but then he kept talking...and talking...and what in Merlin's name was he going on about? Was he trying to punch himself?! What was he, a house elf now? Had he somehow been hanging around Kurumi too much?

"Tag, it's fine," Penelope said, raising an eyebrow and making a confused face. "We've both been busy this term with different stuff. It's fine." So he didn't need to punch himself or feel bad or anything. Just...eat. That's it.

Carrying her own pot of chocolate syrup, Renesmee entered the great hall and looked at her cauldron with a pout as it changed it's look completely. She didn't do that to her cauldron...oh wait..wait must have been something about the room, because apparently everyone elses had changed too. Kinda looked really funky and bright compared to the usual one colour cauldron. Ness approved, not that she needed to but yeah she did.

After placing her cauldron right on the table beside others, the eighteen year old scanned the room with her blue eyes. All she saw was ice cream and syrups and people too of course. She wasn't entirely keen on the idea of having any more ice cream, but homework was homework and so only this time which would hopefully be her last.

With a throat clear, Ness opened her mouth. "Anyone want some Decadent Fudge?" She looked around for people in response. Maybe she should have tasted some other people's syrups first, or maybe not. Eh she'd go later. She didn't want to feel sick from all the sweetness now.

With a BIG GRIN Tobias nodded vigorously in response to the professor and held up his cauldron again. "But of course!" he responded in a similar manner, and he went to spoon out some marshmallow glooooop... except for the fact that the ladle moved and did it ALL ON IT'S OWN.

Like MAGIC or something.

"Woooowwww."

That would never get old.

Oooooh, the ladle moved by itself, too! Ivy beamed. "Very impressive, Mister Tempus!" Ivy watched, pleased, as the marshmallow gooooooo spread all over her ice cream. Yummmmmm.

"Thank you!" she said before picking up her spoon. She took a large bite of marshallow-gooed-up ice cream and let out a satisfied "mmmmm." This kid did a good job. Ivy then took another bite... and was about to take another, but she suddenly felt very... heavy. Her mind did, anyway. The Charms professor frowned at her bowl of ice cream, not feeling very inclined to eat anymore.

He got peanut butter candy along with this deal? Smirk. He could more then just deal with all of this ice cream stuff now because he was just going to, shocker, ignore them all. Ascanius had a reeses to occupy himself now. Pretending he was interested wasn't even on the table anymore. The fourth year would just eat his reeses and tune everyone out. 'Specially 'cause they were all starting to drop like flies from the syrup.

Was the ice cream craze done? Jeez, he hoped so.

Nope, she was still talking to him. So he threw on his best smirk, which was dazzling by the way, and nommed on his food. Understanding nods were thrown around to ALL the crazies. And he saw loads of them.

Through the reeses he looked down at Minerva and mumbled, "You okay, gorgeous?"

Trying not to let his nerves get the better of it, Ethan stood watching Tillstorm, away from the crowd, and wondering just what she needed to say. His mind tried going to all the possibilities of what it could be, but he forced all that down to the recesses of his mind so he could actually focus on her words. Something quick.. good.. He nodded. Whoa.. what? She heard him.. he actually got through to her in that horrible detention. "You.. believed me?" he managed to get out in not much more than a loud whisper. It almost made everything worth it just to hear those words and to know.. wait, had he gotten through to Lafay, too? He had a tiny thought at the beginning of the potions lesson that he just might have.. but this near confirmed it.

Someone actually believed him and took his concerns seriously.. This was just the best news ever and the growing smile on his face made that apparent. This syrup potion thing really was the cure, wasn't it? He couldn't quite describe the elated feeling as relief washed over him to know that all his perseverance over the ice cream issue had finally paid off after months of frustration.. and fighting. But that was going to be over now, wasn't it? He glanced over to Minerva as she was eating the ice cream and he nodded back to Tillstorm. "Yes.. I had my thoughts about the syrup," he said matching her hushed tone. Especially after he dropped one particular ingredient into his cauldron. "I made sure she was eating it." He wanted nothing more than to cure her from the effects of this ice cream. And he wanted to make sure others were eating it too.

She would be better now, right? He still had the same, relieved smile on his face as Tillstorm leaned closer to whisper in his ear. The smile soon faded, though, as he heard what she had to say. Oh. He should have known that the cure would not come without a price. Ethan paled a little, then glanced back at Minerva, watching her for a moment, then he looked back a little helplessly at Tillstorm. He had questions, but he knew now was not the time for them. If others heard them discuss this, they probably would not eat the syrup.. and so many of them really needed to.

Deep in thought now and trying to process things, he nodded at the Healer's words. He didn't know about eating it too.. and still wasn't completely sure that he could trust her, not knowing if the effects would just balance out or what. But if it came down to it, he supposed he would. "Yes, ma'am," he said as she started to move away. "Thank you, Healer Tillstorm." And he truly meant that.. thanking her for actually hearing him and taking his concerns into consideration.. and also for taking the time to talk to him now. He actually appreciated it.

The Prefect gave her a nod before walking away. He needed to not only make sure people that needed it were eating the syrup, but also to make sure Minerva was alright. He had an idea of what to expect at least, but he didn't know if this would be worse. Green eyes scanned the party until they found the person he was looking for. She was sitting with a Slythrin bloke he didn't really know other than from Quidditch and with Laura. It appeared that the syrup was already taking effect.

Ethan took a seat next to her, his eyes watching her carefully. She looked so sad, obviously coming down from the ice cream elation. It killed him to see her that way, but he supposed it was a necessary first step to helping her get back to normal. He gently laid a hand on her back and said, "Hey.. I'm back.. are you doing alright?" She didn't really look like it though and he figured what her answer would be. He could help her through this too..

Herjenmie flew silently to the Hogwarts castle as he searched for the girl person he was delivering the package to. His large wings carried him across the grounds, his eyes passing over every human with detached interest, only bothering to linger on the few mice scattering across the grounds.

He would stop for them on the way back.

It didn't take him long to spot the girl, in the great hall. Wait.. was the girl crying? No not yet it seemed.. just on the brink of it.. wonder what happened? Herjenmie hoped that the letter and the package being delivered would cheer up the girl.

Landing silently right in front of the girl, he hooted, announcing his arrival.

Furmgoat flew through the tops of the trees, wonky wings flapping silently. He was searching for the small person to receive his letter. He had searched everywhere in the grounds for the boy, but he was nowhere to be found. So that meant a journey into the Hogwarts castle, which he actually liked. He liked the cozy warm feeling and the hustle-bustle of activity of the students inside.

And it seemed that today was kind of a nice party or something. Uh.. no.. not happy happy party.. kinda sad party. Wonder what the students were up to! "Hoo!!" Flew in Furmgoat, loudly hooting and flapping wings. He dropped the letter onto the table.



Having dropped the letter in front of the boy, Furmy looked sideways only to spot his fellow owl Herjenmie besides him, delivering mail to the girl besides the boy he was delivering his mail. Heh. Coincidence. Hoot! He hooted sideways. They could fly back to the owlery together..

Minerva sat with a blank stare on her face. She felt hopeless and sad, this was a feeling she had felt before and she didn't handle this feeling well. NO.. she felt horribly sad and funny.. but she couldn't figure out why she felt so weird. She just wanted Ethan hugs and to hide from everyone. She was always able to hide most of her sad from everyone, but now.. now it just didn't matter. There was no reason to be happy.. none at all.

Almost not even hearing Beezus from her own thoughts and then Ascanius she looked up with sad blue eyes. "I...I don't know.. I just don't feel right." She should be happy and everything and she was just sad. "I.. " She wasn't even sure how to explain what she was feeling so she just took out some more reese cups and handed them to Ascanius. "Bee is you want some you can to." She put her head in her hands and took a few deep breaths trying to fight tears that she wasn't sure why they were even there.

Just as she felt she was going to lose the fight with her tears she hear a hoot next to her. Looking up she saw the cutest little owl. Was he there for her? She reached up taking the note and package, "For me?" What a time to get something, but who would be sending her anything. Her grandparents didn't really use the owl system. "I.. have treats little guy." She turned and got in her bag pulling out some owl treats she had for Liesel. "Here" She handed them to the Owl and opened the note. From Belle.. Well that was super sweet and if she could find her smile she would have used it, but she just couldn't. This note made her miss her friend horribly and made her even sadder.

Just then she felt a hand on her back and looked up. It was Ethan, he fell into him burying her face. "I don't know what's wrong.. I was fine and happy and I.. just don't know.." She felt the hot tears falling down her cheeks, but why were they there she couldn't figure out, but it didn't matter. Nothing mattered, she just needed to get away from this place.

Okay, Theo was finished procrastinating whilst eating this nommy ice cream. His bowl was soon empty and he could feel his stomach doing somersaults. He guessed it was time to start feeding his syrup to people, since otherwise there wouldn't be any point in being here. Everyone was conversing, which was kinda giving him a headache.

Kindly shut up about your precious syrup?

Yeah?

Cool.

He spotted the Head Girl on her own, and yes she was shouting, but he figured she'd be quiet if he made his way over, so he did just that. "Hi, wanna try my syrup??" Honestly, he wasn't too fussed about trying hers. Theo's eyes soon got distracted and he staaaaared over at the ice cream again. He definitely needed a top up. "It's really nice, mmmmmmm..." He hoped so anyway, since he hadn't actually tried it himself yet.

Was louder screaming needed so that everybody could hear her?

Nessie scanned the room, waiting for someone to walk over. She didn't want to be here forever, she had other things she could do over eating ice cream, such as studying for NEWTs that were in a FEW months time. She was stressed about them okay? So why ice cream parties, why? They should have been having study parties or something and that actually sounded lame, so no ever saying that aloud.

Back to her syrup. She was just about to shout once more, she even opened her mouth but was stopped by somebody approaching her. One of Dylan's kids. Okay, weird. Real weird, but whatever she'd go with it.

Did she want to try his syrup? If she had to be honest. No, not really, she didn't want to try anybody's because she'd be sick in no time. But that wasn't what came out of her mouth. "Looks good." Nods and a quick glance at his syrup. "If you have some of mine, I'll have some of yours." Seemed fair and they both gained this way. So yeah?

SHE WANTED CARAMEL! See, he totally knew that they had similar taste in food. Maybe. At least in ice cream and SWEETS.

OH! Did they have chocolate frogs for a topping option? Did they know how much Candy Girl would like that?

"I'd love to!" he said, grinning widely. He held up the ladle and let it pour a goooooooooood amount of the caramel syrup onto the girl's ice cream. Because Candy Girl would want LOTS, yeah? She did have lots of ice cream and so, she had to have lots of syrup with it too. It was all... part of... some sort of ice cream to syrup ratio. Nodnod.

"You know me really well!" GRIN. He handed his bowl over to her. Mmmm... CHOCOLATE!



OH LOOK! Magical Creatures Dude and Potions Girl! ... Or... Annabeth. Because Potions Girl was a weird nickname, yeah?

"HEY you two!" GRIN. "Want some caramel syrup?" Did they like caramel? HE HOPED SO! Because he had LOTS of caramel syrup to share and they were going to get lots... if they wanted some. Nodnod.

... But... in all reality, he knew nothing about these two. Apart from the fact that the little dude was definitely not allergic to hay and fumes made Annabeth dizzy. And... speaking of... "Oh hey, Beth," Could he call her that? "You're feeling okay, right? Had enough to eat?"

Also. ALSO. "And I don't think we've met. I'm Alec, by the way," he said, turning his attention towards the Little Dude, "Alec Summers!" GRIN.

And did they want some syrup?



Wade liked the nickname! He actually liked it! GRIN. "I'm really glad you like it!" he said, grinning even MORE at the hair ruffle. It was AWESOME that the two had the hair ruffling thing in common, even if they had two very different types of hair. But both still VERY ruffle-worthy.

Also, MATE. He liked the sound of that too! "Thanks, mate!" And some chocolate syrup? "Yeah, sure!" He watched as the older boy poured some of his chocolatey goodness onto Alec's ice cream in... the form of... "Oh hey, a smiley face!" GRIN. "I didn't know you were artistic!"

Okay, his turn! And he wasn't TOO artistic, apart from drawing turtles, so... Alec grabbed hold of the ladle and poured over some of the caramel syrup, trying to imitate one of those chefs he had seen on TV. They'd swirl it round and add the syrup in one big flourish and Alec had tried to do that but... well...

As long as Wade enjoyed the ice cream and syrup, yeah?

"Hope you like it!" GRIN.
