15. Ambrosius Flume

Honeydukes closed down after the Battle. Some said it was because little Beatrix Flume couldn't run the place without Ambrosius. Others said business was too slow. The candy store was sorely missed by the student's in the castle, but they were often so concentrated with re-building and re-learning that the little candy store was forgotten.

Beatrix closed the store because she was angry at the world for taking her husband away from her. He hadn't wanted to go. He was supposed to stay with her, in their store, as he had for more than four decades. But he was gone. And it was all their fault.

Beatrix re-opened the store because she was angry. She was angry at the world for forgetting her husband, so she began to make candy again.

But this time it wasn't the same. It was sweet sure, but it had a bitterness to it, a heaviness that hadn't been there before. No one could ever put their finger on what it was. But it was there. It was heavy. It lingered.
