Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kei looked around him as he was plainly people-watching. When all of the sudden, he caught a sight of Panda, who was now busy with herself in buying treats. She was definitely on a shopping spree. What could you expect? It's Chritsmas season.

He smiled and took a stroll down the paths as well, avoiding Panda in order to remind her of Hogwarts. She must be enjoying out of the school every once and a while. Kei nodded and then a shop took his attention.



Oh, what joy he felt inside! Few people knew about him getting so piqued of flowers and plants. And he was sure he didn't anyone want to discover that now. So, looking around, he went inside of the store and bewitched his senses. He hoped no one saw him.

And he really needed more ideas for his spell-making and regarding plants.

After paying for her sweets she left the shop with a bag full of the sweets she had bought. She walked past another few shops, reading the remaining items on her list.

Failing to watch the road in front of her she slipped on ice. She laughed at herself and then started to pick up the sweets that had fallen out of her bag and were now scattered across the path.

After retreiving all the sweets she brushed the snow off of herself and headed for the Three Broomsticks for a cup of hot chocolate.

Natalie flew down the path to Hogsmeade on her Firebolt 2001. She was wondering where she would go first. She saw The Three Broomsticks, then saw Honeydukes. Everything smelled of sweets. She got a few Bertie Bott's for her Muggle mother, then saw the blood flavored lollipops. Well, she thought, it would make a nice substitute for the real blood I drink, and felt her fangs come out. Oh crap! She dropped her bag and flew to the girls' bathroom. She got out her medicine and drank. Ugh! and her fangs disappeared. for she wanted no one to know her secret, for she knew everyone would blurt it out and never like her again. She got her chicken blood her father had given her, and drank quickly so her fangs wouldn't come back. She went back out and grabbed her bag. She got some of the lollipops and the raspberry tea sherbet and went to the counter. "How's your mum?" she heard the shopkeeper ask. "Fine, I just told her the news." she replied. "That'll be 2 Galleons." and she handed the gold to him. "Thank you. " and went out the door. She saw Madam Puddifoot's tea shop. "One Raspberry tea please." " Five Knuts please." and handed her the money. She sat down at one of the farthest corners of the shop. She saw there hung mistletoe everywhere and was decorated in Christmas decorations. Under the tree she saw a sign that said "Presents for St. Mungo's participants. Please address for whom to give." And put down a present that was for Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom, for she was a friend of Neville's. As she drank, she noticed that she felt lonely. She had been at Hogwarts for five years, but had never really had a friend other than Neville, Fred and George. She remembered how she had been in the DA three years ago. She remembered her first successful Patronus had been a fierce Tiger. She felt as lonely as a single mouse. She sighed and finished her tea, and walked out the door. She headed for Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes. As she entered she stood in awe. There where Weasleys' Wildfire Whiz-Bangs all over the shop. She decided to buy a box as a present for her mum- Natalie always liked to scare her mum with something from the wizarding world every year. " Hi Fred and George." " Hey Natalie! What'll it be this year for your mum?" She giggled and said, " One box of Weasleys' Wildfire Whiz-Bangs. She'll love it. " " Five Galleons." Said Fred, and she handed him the money. " Thanks Fred and George" she said as she exited the shop. She got on her broom and tied the packages to her broom tightly so it wouldn't fall off and flew to the castle to wrap her presents.

Then Angels saw the first shop in Hogsmeade through some tree "Yes!" Angels shouted "I'm almost there!" Knowing that she was so near now Angels skipped the remaining way to Hogsmeade.

Bella walked down to Hogsmeade from the Boat House. She said to herself "Time to go to Hogsmeade, That reminds i need more Dungbombs, Stink Pellets and more Honeydukes sweets, Lets see if i can get some Firewhiskey as well". When Bella got into Hogsmeade she walked into Zonkos Joke Shop and brought 5 bags of Stink Pellets and 4 bags of Dungbombs. Bella walked in to Honeydukes brought all the sweets she could lay her hands on and paid to the counter to fork out 40 Galleons and then left to go to the Hogs Head to buy some Firewhiskey for her and her friends. She was brought some Firewhiskey and left to go back to the nice warm Slytherin Common Room. Juist before Bella left she forgot she needed a new quill so she went to the Quill shop and brought a large Eagle quill for 5 Galleons. Finally heading back to the Slytherin Common Room

All of the sudden, the shop's doors burst open and came Kei's flying body out of it. He landed several feet away from the shop. He groaned because of the pain. Looking at the shop's broken doors, he saw the gigantic tentacles of the unknown plant he inspected earlier. It hit him hard and sent him flying out of the shop.

The attendant, who is a young witch about early twenties, rushed out of the shop and checked him. Kei blushed. "Are you okay, mister? I'm so sorry, I am new." She said in a very apologetic tone.

Then, the tentacles began to creep out of the shop and into the snowy paths of Hogsmeade. Kei immediately pulled his wand and pointed at it. Oh, am I allowed to use magic here? He asked himself. But the plant was going to escape.

"Incendio!" Kei chanted in a fast tone, even though he was not quite familiar with the spell. Then, to his relief, a burst of bluebell flame sprouted from the tip of his wand and shoot at the creping plant's tentacles. It backed away and into the shop but continued advancing again. He felt so frustrated. He could not let the plant go on a rampage on a totally happy area.
