What: Hogsmeade Visit
Where: Hogsmeade
When: Saturday
Warnings: Varied!

The not so newly appointed Headmistress of Hogwarts checked the last name off on her parchment list and dropped her hands to her side, watching with a stern but mildly worried expression as the stragglers loped off in the direction of the Village.

"Is this a good idea?" She asked, not looking away from the quickly moving backs of the students and thus giving the professor standing beside her no indication that they were being spoken to directly. Nevertheless, Minerva had a way of speaking that meant whether the question were meant for you or no, you felt responsible for answering it.

"I did not foresee any dire events on this day, Headmistress...." Professor Trelawney intoned, her thick and dreamy voice somewhat questioning, not certain that the question had an answer at all, and certainly not sure that she had found it.

It did manage to snap the Headmistress out of whatever thoughts had kept her standing still, however. McGonagall's mouth drew into an even tighter, sterner line and she sent the quill and parchment flying back to her office and started, herself, down the road toward Hogsmeade Village. As she adjusted her large hat, words carried on the wind that might have sounded a bit like, "Of course you didn't, barmy bat."

Professor Trelawney, fortunately, did not hear.

Honeydukes: Mandy and OPEN

Like a great portion of Hogwarts students, Mandy left for Hogsmeade shortly after breakfast, intent on spending as much time as possible outside of the castle boundaries. Arriving with her mates a couple of hours ago, they'd split up for a bit as they searched for supplies. As it was nearing lunch, Mandy was sure she'd need to meet up with them shortly for a few butterbeers, but for the moment she was busy trying to attain sugar.

Mandy paused as she stood in front of the sugar quills isle in Honeydukes. She'd been standing there for at least a few minutes trying to decide which ones she wanted. There were so many different flavours to choose from, and Mandy just couldn't make up her mind. Now, whilst she could spend all of her money on her favourite sweets, it wasn't like her mum would send her loads of extra galleons just because she asked. The question was, whether to spend most of it on the quills, variate the type of candy, or just steal some from the boys later. Granted, she may just end up doing the latter anyway. Finally picking out a few different ones, pumpkin pastie, strawberry, blackcurrant and raspberry, Mandy proceeded on to the next isle.

Padma had a bit of a sweet tooth lately. She supposed it was probably partially stress, and she shouldn't indulge it because of that. But she ignored common sense and headed straight for Honeydukes once she'd gotten into Hogsmeade, anyway.

She made her way toward the sugar quills and stopped when she nearly collided with Mandy coming away from the same part. Padma laughed. "Sorry! It's always so crowded in here on Hogsmeade weekends." She glanced at what Mandy hold and smiled. "The raspberry are my favorite. I haven't tried the pumpkin - are they good?" she asked curiously, sidestepping an over-eager third year who was trying to get past her toward the next aisle.

Honeydukes: Mandy and Padma and OPEN

Mandy was a little surprised to find herself nearly knocking into someone. There was the desire to yell at the person, though the desire quicly melted when Mandy realised it was Padma. "No worries," she said with a smile at Padma before shrugging off the incident. It's not like it could be helped considering all of the other people in the shop.

Looking down at the sugar quills Padma pointed out, Mandy laughed softly and nodded her head in agreement. "They're brilliant. Well, they are if pumpkin pasties are your thing." Moving out of the way of another rather bouncy student, Mandy raised a brow at Padma. "Here for anything in particular or just looking to stock up?"

"I tend to like anything if it's sweet enough. My mum always tells me I'll end up twice my own size if I eat what I want," Padma confessed with a laugh, not really looking worried about the prospect.

"Stocking up, mostly. But I thought I'd see what they have that was new. So far just new varieties of Chocoballs, that I've seen. With coconut!" Which made them better, as far as Padma was concerned. Not that the usual strawberry weren't good.

Padma watched the student bounce by Mandy and then rolled her eyes, amused. "Were we ever that small and excitable? Even as third years?" Padma doubted it. Well. Maybe that small.
