Lavender had wrapped her arms around Julie, keeping her close for a little while, while at the same time, helping her to unwrap some candy. She'd collected a good amount already, most of which seemed to come off of Lavender's table. She just couldn't say no and kept putting pieces into the bucket that Julie was carrying around.

Julie gave a little smile. She liked meeting new people and Lavender was always introducing her to someone. All Lavender could hope for was that she wouldn't ask Bill what Quidditch team he was on, as the only men she had introduced Julie to were Marcus and Roger.
"Hi, Bill." She was acting shy, which made Lavender laugh. Julie was not a shy child. But when Bill asked for her help, she brightened up and nodded. "What kind of help?"
