((lol She does XD its funny. But if ya wanna thats fine by me, Merls, I like Tams. I just didn't want to come up with parents lol.))

Niall shook his head. "I-I can't, I-I don't wanna take all her food and... I mean, everyone's been so kinda and all. I-I can't be greedy." He held up his thin bag and smiled, "See, I have a few things."

Magnus looked at Merlin, his face serious. "I scared you that bad?" He was very touched and sighed adding, "All right, I'll get some food okay? Ice cream and maybe a hamburger or something with meat and higher carbs." He nodded and was thankful he said it low enough so Niall couldn't hear. "She should, she got the kid to laugh faster than anyone else 'ad."

Edit: "Oh, see?" Magnus replied, "Gaia forsaw you are ungry, Merls."

"YES!" Merlin pretty much exploded, he was a sweet tooth after all. "I'm getting coconut ice, toffees, and chocolates of all kinds and..well whatever I can get. I'm going to gain so much weight after this visit that next time you will see me rolling instead of walking." Merlin laughed. "Just hope not to get a stomach ache..nahhh I can't get pain with candy."

Merlin turned toward Drew and Magnus to ask. "Do you want me to get black pepper imps? I can breathe fire anyway but only in dragon form, but I can try to play with Niall." He laughed just thinking about it. ((Merlin is such a goof))

[Edit] ((For Magnus this is before he exploded.)) Merlin nods vigorously. "Yes you give me the chills, but luckily you are alright. But yes you have to eat some meat and ice cream is a necessity of the body." He grins thinking about a big bowl of ice cream. Merlin whispered again. "Of course I won't say it out loud, don't want him to get excited and then nothing...but I will talk about it in the future. I don't think now is the best time, she needs healing...but a child can help you heal..I'll ask her if she liked him first." He smiles. "I'm sure she did anyway."

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/R53D23l.png[/img] "I will be waiting by the entrance once everyone is ready. Once there we will have our next task. Five more minutes and we are on the move." Gaia walked towards the door grabbing a handful of strawberries. As soon as she had some she started hovering. "This is interesting." She ginned.

((as goofy as Merls is already are we sure we should be allowing him sugar hehe ))

Drew shook his head at the sight of Niall's bag. "It's not being greedy," he assured the boy. "Ms. Gillian offered and she wouldn't mind if you took a few more things for a snack."

As Gaia mentioned Honeydukes and Merlin started naming candy, Drew half groaned. "I don't know if I left enough room. But there's only one way to find out!" He grinned. "there's a cauldron cake waiting with my name on it," he declared. "Plus sugar quills...maybe a chocolate frog...and a few other things."

Laughing at Merlin's suggestion, he nodded. "go for it," he said.

MAgnus frowned, "I'm sorry. Didn't mean ta." Then when Merlin added further on Niall and Tamsin he nodded. "Yeah, its a touchy subject with orphans cos as you get older, there's less and less chance you are going to be..." He had a pang in his chest as he remembered he hadn't been wanted in the wizard orphanages. But he smiled and continued, "Yeah that sounds like a good plan. For now, make the kid 'ave a good day, and we get sweets."

Magnus picked up his things and started making his way to the door. He laughed as Gaia started hovering. "I guess you got a rise out o' those strawberries Gaia, they sure gave you a lift. I'm gonna put you on a string and you can be me Gaia balloon."

Niall closed his little fist around the nearly empty bag and said, "Gaia says we are going now. I have enough."

Drew nodded, not willing to argue with Niall. Maybe the kid would accept some of the food Drew had tucked in his own bag later. "Okay, let's go," he said and followed Gaia and the others. "Do you have a favorite candy, Niall?" he asked the boy as they went along with the others.

Merlin had heart eyes when he heard cauldron cake. "I want! And I will get chocolate frogs cause they are my faves, and a chocolate wand for Niall to practice magic." He mockingly smiles while skipping on his way since he was too happy. "I always have space for candy Drew, always." He then adds. "I won't eat everything in one go, I will take plenty to my room..I hope."

Merlin was suddenly out of the sight of Drew since he was on the floor again. Then he quickly got up and laughs. "I shouldn't have skipped, I can't even walk without tripping." He chuckles at his own silliness.

Merlin listened to Magnus words and felt sad, being an orphan must be very painful and extremely lonely. "You are right, let's make this day great for him first..then we try matching those two." Merlin spotted the store and decided it was a good idea to run toward heaven. "Later!" He speed up and was ahead of everyone when he bumped into someone and hit the floor again, watching the others pass by and wave at him giggling. "UGH! Sorry mister!"

Merlin made it to the store after deciding it was better to walk than run. After listening to Lydia he comments. "The second one is easy, Gaia likes Acid pops." He was thoughtful. "I should know what Poppy likes, oh wow I'm a terrible friend." He got it off his head and decided to look around, he knew he wanted chocolate and coconut ice but had to think well what would he get.

Niall picked up his book after making sure he had no fruit or anything on his hands. He couldn’t smudge his brand new book after all. In the haste of leaving, Niall didn’t re-mention his favourite sweet.

Magnus laughed as Merlin was being all goofy. Inside the shop Magnus added, “Paul ‘as to be careful ‘ere. ‘E normally ‘as to call ahead and ask ‘em to prepare a box and bring it outside. ‘E don’t wanna risk being near the pineapple.” Then he laughed when the Lydia asked what Gaia likes that was green. “That ain’t even ‘ard, its Acid Pops. Side’s doesn’t she ‘ave a ‘uge order to pick up?”

Niall quietly entered the shop and slowly started looking around. When Lydia said they were able to fill a jar he wondered if this was the box Gaia had mentioned she’d help him fill?

((occ thanks for pining me i was out today and didn't see everyone already went to the shop :(. )) ((lets just say i have been there too?)) ellenor followed the group into Honeydukes. wishing lottie and nik were here. she only could talk to them she felt shy around others.

Drew laughed at Merlin's excitement. He liked candy and planned to take plenty back to the castle with him, but his main indulgence was cauldron cakes. All that chocolate...the boy licked his lips at the mere thought and increased his pace a bit as well.

Entering Honeydukes, Drew met the Nut Lady for the first time and nodded at her directions. Once again he left the riddles to his friends who had been around longer and knew the answers. Instead of trying to puzzle things out, Drew wandered the store, mentally making a list of some of his favorites. The sweet smells and the colorful assortments in the jars put a smile on his face.

(( We just got to Honeydukes so you can jump in :D))

(( that wasn't even fair LOL but good luck figuring out Lydia's fave.))

As Merlin walked around he spotted chocoballs and smiled. "I think i found what Poppy likes, is it chocoballs? It has strawberry mousse filling." He felt like trying one but had to control his urge to grab everything. "I've never tried them to be honest." He had no idea what the nut lady may like since the place was filled with candy - literally - so he shrugs and decides not to guess. "I'll focus on chocolate."

He saw Niall looking with big eyes and smiled, then got near him and whispers. "Pick wisely some look great but aren't. I'm trying my best not to grab things. I'm a candy monster."

"Anyone have sweets suggestions?"

((Gaia, no idea what Lydia may like! NO IDEA!))

((chocolate frogs?)) ellenor couldn't believe her eyes everywhere you looked there were walls lined with candies. she thought of going over to talk to someone.

((occ have to go now. hope i can role play with all you guys in the morning.))

((Maybe, they are Merlin's fave at least.))

Merlin saw a sweet looking girl that was quietly looking around, since he didn't knew her he got close to her. "Hello, I'm Merlin..I don't think we've met. I'm from Slytherin and you?" She blinked and didn't answer and Merlin wondered if he talked too much as always. "Have you come here before? Try the chocolate frogs, they are the best in my opinion." He wasn't sure if he was imposing on her and waited for a reply.

((I'm sleepy, goodnight! I'll respond tomorrow.)) (all)

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/8c1Q3Re.png[/img] Eros arrived at Honeydukes and just silently examined some of the goods. He wasn't much into candies except for a few that contained real fruits. As he passed by some glazed roasted 'peanuts', Eros smirked and grabbed a few and walked over to Merlin just as the wizard was asking for suggestions. "How about some glazed peanuts?," the seventeen year old offered nonchalantly, holding out some 'peanuts'.

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/cJch46L.png[/img]"It would seem some of you have figured out some of the riddles already. I figured Gaia's favorite would be an easy one given she always has a few of them in her bag. I am sure she has at least 2 in her small purse right now. Did you guys know she is working with the Flumes to get them made into smaller sizes." Lydia shook her head " I don't know how she does it." Lydia winked at the boy who figured out the first riddle. "Seems you have a direct connection to Poppy." ()

(( no chocolate frogs :)))

(night those going to bed)

Magnus picked up his jar. Picking out sweets was going to be difficult. He had only recently started trying them. He really wasn’t fully sure what he liked. Like the last time he was there with a group, he was feeling overwhelmed and wasn’t sure what to select. “Suggestions are good,” he said loudly, “I don’t know this stuff at all.” Everyone seemed to carry a supply of Honeydukes chocolates but beyond that Magnus was rather clueless.

The same could be said for Niall who looked around timidly. So many things. His jar couldn’t fit big things like pumpkin pasties either. He nodded at Merlin, now even more nervous as he clamped on the jar. They occasionally got treats but he was as overwhelmed at Magnus sounded. And stood near the girl who had been at the other table, but he didn’t know her name.

((lydia likes Cockroach Clusters lmao totally -is joking but if Right Gaia should give me total props XD))

ellenor saw someone came up to her. she replied this is my first time here and i'm not sorted into a house yet.. ((occ have to go bye hope to role play with everyone in the morning!)) ellenor signed she wasn't great at talking to others.
