I shuffled my feet through the snow that seemed to be five inches thick. It was flurrying outside. I was walking with Molina and Jenny, and Taylor. Jenny and I were in between Molina and Taylor because they always got into a fight. Bryanna was sick, so she felt the need to stay in bed all day. Brenna and Jachelle were running late, so they would come when they could. 

We walked down the frozen tundra that was Hogsmeade. I walked into Honeydukes first, because I loved candy, and I haven't had it in awhile. Plus it was warm. I walked right to the back, and grabbed a few pieces of Choco-Loco, since I have been craving chocolate. I walked up the counter and placed the candy on the glass surface. The store clerk turned around, and smiled at me. She seemed sweet. 

"Hey child. Is this all?" She said with a cheery disposition. I smiled back at her, "Yes ma'am, that'll be all." She put it in a bag, "I see you like chocolate." She said. I stepped closer, "Of course, who doesn't? Things have been crazy, and I just need some Chocolate." She looked around, and put a huge pack of Chocolate in the bag. "Here. This is the best chocolate we have. It just came out, we haven't put it on our shelves yet. But it's delicious! I hope everything goes better for you." I looked in the bag, and it was full of chocolate. "Wow. Erm. Thank you so much." I walked away, and turned back around, to see her talking to someone else. 

I walked over towards Molina, and showed her what was in the bag. "Do you want some" I asked, "I have way too much. And apparently, it's brand new chocolate" I emphasized. 

Taylor was lurking next to Jenny, and she was trying to pick out some candy for later. Molina and I decided it was time to walk to Zonkos. The Weasleys still own the shop, they  are just rarely seen there anymore. We walked into the shop, and looked at all the gag gifts. The store was florescent as it always has been. We saw a plethora of gifts: Puking Pestles, Peruvian Instant Darkness Powders, etc. Molina and I made our way up to the second level, that had Amortentia at it. We both stood around it, and looked at the beautiful colors. It smelled amazing. I loved the smell of Oak.

One of the store employees walked over, "Sorry. We're all out of Amortentia. Someone came in the other day, and bought the entire lot of em'." I looked over at Molina, and looked curious. The store employee walked away. "Excuse me.. Erm. Ma'am.... Why would someone buy all of these potions?" I said. She turned back around, "I haven't the faintest clue. But, she looked eager to use them." I arched my eyebrow, "Oh. Really? What did she look like, if you don't mind my asking." She looked around, and pointed to a female, "She was her height. She had brown hair, an eerie disposition. She was quiet. She purchased them all, knew exactly where she was going. Early twenties." 

"Thank you." I said. And turned towards Molina, "We need to find Theo." She looked at me, and nodded. We walked towards the Three Broom Sticks. I saw as Jachelle and Brenna caught up to us, "Hey! What'd we miss?" Brenna said. "Nothing. Just going to the Three Broom Sticks" I told them. We crept our way up to the door, "You must be 18 to enter today." The man at the door said, Molina and I were the only ones who were old enough to get in. "We're 18." Molina said as she pointed to us. 

"Come on in then." I turned back around, "I'm sorry. If it wasn't important, I wouldn't leave y'all. But this is really important." Both Jenny and Brenna nodded and walked across the street. I stepped into the door, and of course, they were serving free alcohol today, that's why you had to be 18. I looked around, and it was loud and rowdy. I found Theo with the Headmaster sitting in a corner talking. I sat down next to Molina at an open booth. Thankfully, Theo sat next to the window, so he saw us sitting down. 

I looked over at Theo, and he didn't notice me. I stood up, and walked towards the bar, that was close to where they were sitting. "Can I get one Fire Whiskey" I said, "How old are you?" said the Bartender. I pulled out my Muggle ID card, and showed him. He started mixing the whiskey, and put it in a cup, and give it to me. I stood at the bar for a moment, and watched as a Witch in her mid-20's came over to me. 

"Why do you look so glum?" She said. "It's a lot to explain." I said. Molina was sitting at the table, by herself. And I glanced over at her, "Oh. Is she your girlfriend?" the woman laughed. "Ermm.. No. Heh. She's a good friend." I snickered. I walked back towards the table, and sat down. The woman came and sat down next to me. "So. How long have you two known each other?" She said. "We've gone to school together. For about 7 years." I said. Molina glanced at the woman, who kept staring at me. I could smell the beer on her breath. "Well. If you ever need someone to talk to, I own Eeylops Owl Emporium" she said. She edged to get closer. And I just stared at Molina, who was laughing. I watched as Headmaster Novellus got up and walked outside. He made his way down the street, most likely back to Hogwarts. 

Theo stood up, and walked to the bar again. He got a butterbeer. He turned and looked around the room and saw me sitting down with Molina and the estranged and intoxicated woman. He walked towards me, "Hey. Sorry I was... busy. Who's your friend?" Theo said. "Well aren't you gorgeous" she said. I smiled, "Ma'am, I think it's best you go back to Eeylops." Molina said. "Or what?" She said. I cocked my eyebrow at the woman, "Look. We don't want any trouble - nor do we wish to continue our conversation with you. Please leave." I said. 

This time the bar got quiet. "Fine. Fine. Fine. I'll leave... Only if you and your man friend come with me." I stood up, "GO." I shouted. Theo was surprised. I watched as the woman jumped backwards, "Okay. Sheesh. Just having a bit of fun." I watched as the woman left her drink on the table, and left. 

Theo sat down, and I sat back down. Molina smiled, "So. Professor James.. We have something to tell you." Molina said. He looked at me, and then looked at her. "Well. Firstly, sorry you had to see that, Secondly, I have news about Madison.... Apparently, she was at Zonkos. And she ordered the entire lot of Amortentia." He looked puzzled, "But why?" He said. I turned towards him, and grabbed his hands that were resting in his lap. "Theo... She's in love with you. She's trying to kill me because she knows as long as I am around, you won't love her." He turned away, "No." he said. 

"I'll love you no matter what."
