Nieve had snuck into Hogsmeade so many times she'd lost count while at Hogwarts, it was her usual escape from her unending mountain of work that seemed to constantly suffocate her. She never found any place more pleasing than Hogsmeade on a nice day, there were plenty of shops to peruse, and all the shopkeepers were always lovely people and great to chat with if bored. She had been forced to become a fugitive today because of the huge exam in Astrology she had coming up later that day, she'd been studying all night and now her brain was so full of information about stars she was practically seeing them!
She sighed as she walked down the cobblestone streets and perked up immediantly at the sight of Honeyduke's. It had been her favorite store at one point, when she was much younger and candy was more of a treat. She hadn't been inside in ages, and a good sweet was something she needed more than ever now. She smiled as she pushed open the door and heard the familiar tinkling of the bell overhead. The store was practically empty, for it was an unusual time for candy, what with it being quite early in the morning. She decided to sit first, snatching a table by the window near the back. She took in a deep breath, relishing in the fragrant aroma that always laid stagnant in the shop. She picked up the menu and scanned its contents, though she really knew it by heart.
After she'd made a choice she sat for another moment, looking about the store and noticing someone off to the opposite corner, they were peeking at her over the top of their menu, and she threw them a questioning glance. Did she know them? She bit her lip in nervousness, she was awful with names and would feel dreadful if the person was someone she should've recognized.
