Author's Note: HI! I just want people to know that this is going to start getting slower updates the further into the Wizarding World I get because I am doing my research!
Part 4
The candy of the Wizarding World was absolutely brilliant. Vanessa just watched as all the other girls picked out five candies each-Siren told them they could pay for themselves if they wanted more.
"What do you want?" Siren asked Vanessa.
"You pick 'em out. I've never really ever had candy so I don't have a preference." She said meekly.
The other girl grinned. "Wait, you're not allergic to anything, are you?"
Vanessa shook her head.
"Good." Siren turned to the trolley lady. "May I please have a box of Bertie's, some Fizzing Whizzbees, two of the small packets of Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, three Chocolate Frogs, and-how many of us are there? Five? Okay, five acid pops."
"Will that be all, dearie?" the trolley lady asked.
"Yes, ma'am." Siren said, handing the lady a couple galleons.
After the trolley lady left, Siren handed Vanessa a Chocolate Frog.
"Be careful it doesn't get away, Vanessa!" Leah giggled. "If you aren't careful, your Chocolate Frog will actually hop away! That happened to me once. It took my card with it, too."
"Seriously, Leah?" Hanna gave her friend a look. "It's happened a lot more than once. It happened last week, and I think a few weeks before that, and also-"
"Okay! I get it!" Leah laughed, throwing her hands up in the air in mock exasperation. "It happens quite a bit!"
"Wait," Vanessa looked up from the box containing the candy with alarm. "It can hop away?"
"Don't worry, it's not an actual frog," Hanna said. "It's entirely made of chocolate. It's just enchanted."
"So it's not a real frog?" she asked, still wary.
"Nope, just enchanted chocolate, but hurry up! I wanna see what card you got!" Hanna prodded in excitement.
Vanessa shrugged and opened the box. Inside, there was a perfectly shaped frog-made entirely of chocolate.
She stared at it in shock as it looked around...then promptly hopped out of the box and landed on the floor.
She did the most rational thing she could think of. She let out a shriek and pulled her legs up to her chest.
Samantha looked away from the window and, in one swift motion, scooped up the magical candy and held it out to Vanessa who shook her head violently.
"You have it. I can't do it!" she said, her voice more of a high pitched squeak.
Samantha shrugged and opened the window, letting the frog hop out.
"I would've taken it…" Leah said sadly.
"It wasn't yours." Samantha said.
Leah pouted and, crossing her thin arms over her chest, turned away from the group and faced the wall.
Hanna, with a smile on her face, turned away from Leah and said, "There should be a card in there, let's see who you got!"
Vanessa pulled out the card. "'Falco Aesalon'," she read. "'Falco Aesalon was a wizard who lived in Ancient Greece. Being able to transform into a falcon at will, he was the first recorded animangus'."
"Oh, I've never seen that one! It's pretty rare. Be sure to keep it, I know some of the older students will sometimes buy the ones they don't have." Siren said.
Vanessa nodded and tucked the card into her pocket.
"I think we should change now, don't want to get caught in the crazy rush. Besides we're about forty-five minutes away from Hogsmeade Station." Siren said. "Vanessa and I'll go first, then Leah and Hanna, then Samantha. Deal?"
