Neville had looked at his schedule that afternoon and breathed a sigh - no classes to oversee or teach, no detention to keep watch, no hall duty... no nothing. It was a great chance to get out and run some errands, and considering it was such a lovely fall day, he was glad to be out of the castle.
Walking the streets of Hogsmeade with his cloak on over a dark red and gold scarf, Neville window shopped for early Christmas gifts, picked up a few new quills and he was ready to head back to the castle when seeing Honeyduke’s jogged his memory. Every time he was home in Yorkshire, Gran always reminded him that if he was ever in Honeyduke’s to pick up her favourite... “...if you’re so inclined, a treat for an old woman isn’t too much to ask...”. Neville rolled his eyes at the memory and walked into the store.
The heady aroma of caramel hit him like a brick wall and all of a sudden he felt like a first-year at a feast. His mouth watered as he looked over all of his old favourites and some new things as well. Though, if he lingered any longer, he would be in serious danger of becoming that pudgy little first year again. Quickly, he picked up a box of Turkish Delight for his Gran, and a small packet of caramels for himself.
Not really aware of his surroundings, Neville was happily taken aback when he saw Megan behind the counter. “Hullo Miss Jones.” he said with a smile and laying his purchases on the counter. Neville couldn’t help another smile upon thinking how cute she looked with her hair in barrettes and a chocolatey apron that showed signs of experimenting with new recipes.
