Either way, she wasn't training now, and had gone way to long without sweets. That meant one thing: splurge. Big time. She had lost time to make up for and really she only had a short window to make it up.
Humming Aerosmith's Dream On softly to herself, Hads threw a few more licorice wands into her basket and rounded the corner. Oooh! Chocolate Frogs! Yes, she couldn't forget about those.
Hadley made her way over to the display and took a few off the shelf. She didn't look at the boy standing beside her examining the rows of chocolate frog packets, but struck up a conversation anyway. "I remember the first time I had one of these. Scared the bejeezus out of me when it leapt out of the box."
She turned and looked at the boy for the first time and was surprised to find she recognized him. He was a Ravenclaw, few years ahead of her..."Oh, hey! Uh, Mason, right?"
Mason decided to buy one chocolate frog. Just one! He grabbed a package and placed it in the basket with the other candies. It looked lonely though and the sixth year hesitated before grabbing another one and putting it in the the basket as well, feeling a bit guilty but left it there all the same.
It was at that moment he realised that Hadley was talking to him and not the frogs she was looking at and he raised his eyebrow.
"You didn't know the chocolate frog would try to escape?" wasn't that common knowledge?
"What? Oh yeah im Mason" he knew who she was of course. If there was one thing he was good in it was remembering names and faces.
"But you did catch the chocolate frog back then right?" he continued. Losing a frog was the worst, perhaps that was why there were collectors cards in the packages. So you wouldnt have bought the candy for nothing.
