Chapter 22: ~Bloody Candy Crazy~
"Where to first?" Hermione spread out her arms in the middle of Hogsmeade's main street.
"Somewhere dry!" Chloe said pulling her robes closer to her body. The trio looked at her. "Fine, do they have a candy story?"
"To Honeydukes!" Ron raised a pointed finger and started marching into a crowd of Hogwarts students. That had decided that the best place to stay warm is in a candy shop.
As they entered the shop they shook off the water droplets. The shop was full of kids running around as if they were in a Candy Store. (A/N oh wait...*flips threw a couple pages in the Harry Potter Lexicon*...Honeydukes...IS a candy store.... very original comparison I guess!) Chloe's eyes lit up as the rainbow of colors hit her in the head. The reds were so red and the blues so BLUE! She smiled, "It reminds me of Ducs de Meil!"
"What?" Hermione asked over the roar of the crowd.
"I said, 'What's you favorite candy?" Chloe smiled sweetly.
"Its," Hermione tried to say very loudly but then, grabbed Chloe's wrist. Hermione started to drag her so Chloe grabbed on to Harry's and Harry's to Ron's. (A/N: Harry noticed that he was touching Ron in a none 'guy' way so he let go so Ron just followed them. Why can guys only touch each other if they are beating the CRAP out of each other!???) "I like Toothflossing Stringmints! So do my parents, they're dentists. One time I bought them for them and they wanted to start giving them to patients. I had to tell them the Ministry of Magic would have my head, if they did that."
"Oh, Ron? Harry?" Chloe asked their opinion.
"I prefer the Sugar Quills. Especially for Professor Binn's class; I can look all smart but actually getting my quotient of sugar for the day!"
"I wish they had that in pencil form!" Chloe laughed but got no laughs in return. "Tough crowd! How about you Ron? Do you fancy Acid Pops?"
Ron flinched, "Acid pops? Fred gave me an acid pop when I was seven; burnt a whole right through my tongue. I can still remember when mum whacked him upside the head with a broom. Good Times, good times. Made I'll buy him a Cockroach Cluster and tell him that they're peanuts."
"I think you tried that before." Harry reminded him.
"Did it work?" Ron asked hopefully.
"No, I actually think he some how got you to eat it."
"Oh," Ron remembered fondly. "Maybe I'll get some for myself!"
"So you like Cockroach clusters?" Chloe asked.
Ron looked up, and mumbled through a full mouth. "Yuemp!"
"What do you suggest for me?" Chloe looked at the overwhelming colored store.
"I think we should start with the basics." Ron swallowed his cluster and started to lead her around the store. "We have Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, Chocolate frogs, exploding bon-bons, Ice mice, Pepper Imps-"
"Pepper who-sa-whats?" Chloe stopped him.
"Pepper Imps," Ron stopped at a large container filled to the brim with black candies with crystals sprinkled over them.
Chloe examined the jar. "Tiny black candy that makes you 'breath fire for you friends.' Interesting...I think I'll take a pound of these."
"A pound?" Hermione opened her mouth wide.
"Yes," Chloe filled a bag and then turned to the rest. "Now, something for Dana. Probably something novel would do."
"Like what?" Harry raised one eyebrow.
"Um...like something that turns your teeth into sugar cubes, or a cookie that makes you a BIRD, OR like a vampire sucker!" Chloe suggested off the top of her head.
"You could get her some canary creams or blood-flavored lollipops!" Harry offered grabbing some of both.
"Or both," Chloe grabbed them and went up to the cashier. "Good day."
"Good day Miss, will this be all?" The cashier looked down at the huge bag of Pepper Imps, the box of canary creams, and the five blood- flavored lollipops. "We haven't sold one of those in ages. Let alone five at once. Can I ask, who are you buying them for?"
"Oh," Chloe smiled putting her wallet away. "It's for my friend in Transylvania. His name is Dracie and he says he'll love me FOREVER!" Chloe said mystically putting some coins on the counter.
"Sorry, I think it's about time we return her to Saint Mungo's." Hermione tried to hurry Chloe out the door.
"No," Chloe flipped her hair to look back at the guy. "I must meet Dracie. You see we are madly in love with each other."
Hermione pushed Chloe but Chloe leaned back on her. "Yes, I believe they will WANT you back."
"No, don't let them TAKE ME!" Chloe was creating a scene.
"Yep," Hermione pushed her out the door. "Sorry for the disturbance. She's a lever four, bad love spell. They didn't swish and flick it was more of a swash and smack." A few members of the crowd flinched in pity and the rest (mostly Hogwarts students) just rolled their eyes at Chloe's antics.
Hermione and Chloe waited outside the shop while Harry and Ron collected they sugar based needs. When, they came out Chloe had scoped out where she wanted to go next. The boys moaned and groaned as Chloe and Hermione dragged them down the street to Madame Puddifoot's. "I've always wanted to go there!" Hermione squealed excitedly.
"It's about time we did then," Chloe smiled feverishly.
"I think I'll catch pink fever or something deadly in that place."
"The only thing that might kill you in there is me, with my kisses!" Hermione puckered up her lips.
"I think I'd rather snog under a table in the Hog's Head then under the pink confetti of cherubs." Ron complained and Hermione frowned, then elbowed him in the stomach.
"I want to go," Hermione growled. "You do not have to, but I would advise you do." She glared and Ron gulp.
"Help me Harry." Ron gasped as Hermione took Ron screaming into the café.
"The falling of a whipped man." Harry shook his head. "So you REALLY want to go in there?"
"Yep, and you're going come with me." Chloe fluttered her eyelashes.
"Do I have to?" Harry groaned and Chloe frowned. "I had a bad experience!"
"To bad, we're going to make a good one." Chloe turned and headed for the door. "He you know what's good for you, you'll come." Harry ran in after her.
***A/N: YES! I know bad spot to stop...but I'm tired and I wanted to post something! If you didn't laugh at this...you'll laugh LATER! TRUST me...plus if you didn't laugh at the 'Dracie' then I might have to slap you! ( I like to do that * smack * hee hee! Sorry...I have to get back to Saint Mungo's they might start to worry! * whistles and walks away. Then, runs in the opposite way of St. Mungo's and her 'friends' in the white coats come to 'collect' her. * ***
