Delphi and Cassidy had just entered Hogsmeade Village and Delphi was buzzing with excitement. She turned to Cassidy, hoping the fresh air was putting her in a lighter and happier move. "I am so excited to get out of that castle! Too many stuffy Death Eater's running around." She laughed, though far from serious and walked a few steps in front of the fourth year before turning around to face Cassidy and walking backwards. "So I really only know of one place to get things like that." She pointed over shoulder to a small shop that if you blinked you would easily miss it. The front sign said, "Messrs Jonkilo's Comfort Supplies" "You want to see what we can find?" Delphi had stopped now at the store front and stood smiling at her new friend.

Cassidy stood with Delphi and looked around the alley she saw the store and it did indeed have better quality bedding and she was ready to buy as the sheets and blankets that had been on her bed had now given her a rash that would not quite itching. She saw a boy walk over to them and watched him Delphi seem to know him but she just sighed then heard Delphi ask her if she wanted to find out just how good there things were and she nodded. "Why not, can't lose anything but this damn rash " she said and showed her her arm " I think those blankets are cursed or hexed or something" she said and saw some cotton sheets in a light cream " ow those will feel so good in summer and warm in winter. she then saw several more. " come on then" she said. (( Cassidy's dream and shopping ))

David had been shopping in Hogsmeade due to exploding his half of the items in his suitcase after a failed experiment involving a jar of mustard and a galleon, don't ask. Most of the things which he was replacing were little luxuries and Messrs Jonkilo's Comfort Supplies seemed to fit the bill. This was obvious when David appeared from the room carrying two bags filled with various magical items.
He placed the bags into his rucksack before beginning on his way, then he realised something. Emma was here, a few paces in front of him, and also another girl who looked quite a lot younger than Delphi. David gave a small wave before walking in her direction with his head to the floor, maybe she wouldn't say anything and he could walk by without any troubles....or breakdowns.

Luna was looking everywhere in her room for her colouring pencils, and she had looked everywhere but they were nowhere to be found. People always loved to hide her things. She would never get mad about it, but it was always quite irataing to her.
The castle was quite limited and was infested with deatheaters, she thought she would get out for the day. Her father had sent her an owl with a letter for her, and within it was some money and a little note. So she thought she would go to hogmeade for the day and spend a little. There was always something going on at Hogsmeade. She grabbed a few things and threw it in her bag and made her way to Hogsmeade.
She was passing by a few shopps not knowing where to go first. She noticed from a bit of a distance a couple of students she reconized. She of course made her way over to them. As she got closer she noticed it was her friend Delphi, which liked to be called Emma and David was there also along with another ravenclaw that she didn't know all that well.
"Well hallo everyone" she said to the trio with a sweet smile and a friendly tone in her voice. "Beautiful out isn't it? She turned to Emma and gave her a small hug. "Where is everyone going right now?...would you all like to come with me and get some ice cream?", she asked the three. "My treat" she said with her happy smile.

"Why not, can't lose anything but this damn rash," She said and showed her her arm. Delphi gasped and took the younger girls arm, looking at it closely.
"Cassidy! You need to go to the nurse! Does it burn at all?" She asked the younger girl. "The one day I don't bring lotion." She frowned at the girls arm, wishing she had something that would help.
"I think those blankets are cursed or hexed or something,"
The older Ravenclaw's nostrils flared and she spoke in a low voice. "If I find out that anyone cursed or hexed your sheets, there would be Hell to pay." If Delphi Emma was pissed at the thought of someone cursing or hexing someones sheets. Perhaps she was feeling a bit protective, but that was how she was. Delphi heard Cassidy say 'come on' and was about to follow her when she looked up and saw David. He waved at her and she replied politely with a wave. "Hello, David."
Delphi wrapped an arm around Cassidy's shoulder and was about to walk into the shop when she then spotted Luna. "Hey Luna!" She waved one of her good friends over.
"The best weather." She grinned widely, moving her arms to hug Luna back, giving her a quick squeeze, she pulled the girl back at arms length. "What are you doing outside of the castle today?"
"Well we are heading into this shop," she pointed over her shoulder, "to get some new linens for Cassidy. Ice cream sounds nice. I think Cassidy and I will join you for sure." She looked down and gave Cassidy an encouraging nod. She hadn't mentioned David going, because he hadn't arrived with Delphi and Cassidy, and Delphi had no idea what his plans were and it wasn't like she could speak for him. Delphi bounced excitedly on her heels. "I hope they have raspberry toppings!"

Messrs Jonkilo's Comfort Supplies. Chyna needed to go there desperately and get a new comforter. The night before, Chyna and Cordelia tried to make a fort. While completely drunk, they had no sense of balance or precision. The outcome was a ripped comforter, almost completely in half, and a cold sleep for Chyna. On a mission, she left Hogwarts' grounds and found herself in Hogsmeade easily within a reasonable time.
Her eyes roamed the streets and she saw the backs of a few students' heads as she scoped the streets out. Her smile shifted into a frown almost. There were a lot of people there. But then a smirk came back around as she spotted David. They had left on an odd note a few days ago, and she felt kind of bad for it. Chyna felt inside her sweater's pockets for the money her family had sent, and she jogged over to the group. Her smile reappeared and she stopped beside a younger Ravenclaw she didn't know.
Chyna's eyes went to her arms and she winced slightly. "Rash, huh?" She nodded and shook her head. "Not pleasant. You might be having a reaction to your sheets-" she looked up to the shop sign, "which is why I assume you guys are all here- new bedsheets? Seems like its that time of the year." She rubbed her neck nervously and walked past everyone, nodding a vague hello, before entering the store.
A small signal bell rang through the shop and the staff shouted out a wave of 'Hello' and 'Welcome' her way. She waved and gave them all a friendly smile before taking her path towards the new comforter sets they had. Chyna turned to look over her shoulder to see if the group was coming in or not, and then let her eyes wander back over the choices.
Why were picking new bedding sets difficult? Maybe having a hangover didn't help. Chyna's hands ran through her messy bun, pulling her bangs to the side and resting her hand on her lips. 'There's so many choices, too many colors.' She shook her head out and rubbed irritably at her forehead, exasperated with her headache.

Asher Herring had been wondering the streets of Hogsmeade for the perfect gift to give his little angel. He had stumbled across a small porcelain doll, and even managed to get it wrapped. It was the perfect gift, as she was his porcelain doll. His girlfriend- yes, after six years of chasing, he could finally call her his. Asher bounded down the streets when he saw the exact girl he had purchased his gift for walk into a store. He didn't even care enough to notice what shop. He approached the store with a grin, noticing a group of students gathered outside.
"Hello ladies." Asher bowed low to the females of the group, a grin wide on his face. After standing straight he turned to the seventh year Hufflepuff named David, "Hello my fine friend. Are you escorting these ladies on this fine day?" He asked the boy. His eyes landed on the youngest member of the group, Cassidy, a young Ravenclaw. He immediately noted the rash and he frowned, walking over to her. "This really is not good. I would suggest you get something for that. A lotion, or a potion." He chuckled at his own accidental rhyme before looking down at the younger girl seriously. "I do hope you feel better." He kissed her sweetly on the forehead before looking back up at the group. Asher glanced over his shoulder. "Are you all coming in?" He asked with a smile before entering the mysterious, to him, store.
The Gryffindor was startled by the sudden greetings, but a grin slowly spread onto his face and waved his hello back. Scanning the store, his Chyna senses tingling, he immediately spotted her loose bun, and he watched with a smile as she messed with it. As he approached he, she shook her head out and rubbed irritably at her forehead. Coming up quietly behind her, he set his bag down and swiftly wrapped his arms around her stomach, kissing gently at her neck.
"Good afternoon, My Love." He whispered into her ear. "What have you and Cordelia done that has brought you here today?" Asher walked around to her front with a grin. It soon fell as he took in her appearance. "You got drunk...without me?" He finished off with a grin, and pecked her nose. He knew that it was bad for them to drink, but there was nothing he could do about it. Getting upset would be pointless, besides, this wasn't the first time Chyna had drank, and it wouldn't be her last. Asher himself liked to drink, and on a few occasions gotten drunk with his fellow Gryffindor housemates. "I hope you are okay?"
Asher looked around the section they were in. Bedspreads. His eyes fell immediately to the deep red one. He walked over to it and held it up. "I think you ought to get this one!" He smiled widely. "Oh, and be careful where you step." He said walking back over to her. "I got you a gift." He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her nose lightly.

A small sigh was the only thing that escaped David's lips as Asher embraced Chyna before kissing her. He didn't "like like" Chyna but he wouldn't have minded getting to know her better and in David's very limited interactions with females, boyfriends usually got in the way.
He was now standing with the group, almost dragged in to it against his will due to the influence of "Loopy Luna" he did hate that nickname though as she was actually quite nice once you got to know her. He imagined anyone.
David stood quiet in the group only looking down so as to avoid eye contact with Emma, Chyna or even Asher just in case he took offence to David as Rhye had obviously done. This wasn't an enjoyable experience for David and leaving this awkward situation seemed to be better for the majority and David would be left to his own devices.
All of a sudden the group were walking towards the ice cream shop and David seemed to gravitate towards the group. Majority Influence was the psychological term, compliance being an even more specific term. Going along with the crowd only in public but privately you could have different thoughts.
That's how David was feeling, he didn't really want to be with this group as previously mentioned and in fact he felt quite jealous of them. He was the only one in the group without an actual "friend". Cassidy had Emma, Chyna had Asher and Luna was liked by everyone in the group bar David as he hadn't got to know her enough to make an assumption.
The shop smelt strange, an overpowering smell which consisted mainly of soap and linen which obviously came from the the various bed sheets. Finally David broke from the group and exited the shop, he stood outside, leaning on one of the brick walls while the others were choosing their various items inside of the shop. The life of an outcast was filled with grief, David's grief was the voices in his head and they were having a field day.....

Luna was excited to see that for once someone was wanting to go with her. It was nice of even though alot of people don't really care for her, that she offered to buy their ice cream, but she really was very nice once you got to know her. She was excited to see what flavours they had and she enjoyed trying a different one each time. She looked over at the others who didn't reply to her offer and asked once more. "Would anyone else like to come aswell...it will be great fun" she said with a smile in hopes it would change their minds. She never did like to leave anyone out. Luna looked over at Delphi and answered her glee all over her face. "Oh they have many kinds and I'm quite sure they have raspberry toppings" she said with a bit of a happy laugh. "Shall we go then?, she asked all who was interested. She than gave a little wave along with her beautiful smile and turned around and headed towards the ice cream shoppe. She couldn't wait to pick out her flavours with some new friends. She was quite happy. Attachments:

Cassidywatched as her simple shopping trip was turning into an all round circus several more had joined her and Delphi in the street and Cassidy was beginning to feel out of her depth as one person took her arm and looked at it others did too. Cassidy looked at her and nodded slowly as she looked at Delphi and the others . " I know but who would be so mean as to do that to bedding that any one uses" she said turning she looked at David who she could see was feeling just as out of it as she did, she saw Luna walking over to them and sighed but some one spoke up before she could and she staid quiet as she was pushed along with them to the ice cream parlor it was not some place she wanted to be.
Cassidy moved to the counter but said nothing she was not in the mood for Ice cream seeing an empty table she moved to it and sat down breathing out as she did. She looked up at David and the others. She felt some what over whelmed she was a social wall flower nobody noticed her in a room and there she was in the same room as four others all talking with Delphi she glanced back at the bedding shop and thought about the bedding she had seen she knew she would go back to get it once Delphi was finished with her ice cream, and every one thinned out a little, not that she was ungrateful at every one had joined them it had been a bit of an overwhelming experience and her mine screamed for her to get out , she pushed it to one side choosing to ignore it and smile listening to the banter of the people in front of her.

David looked at each of the people in their current group. Asher, the confident Gryffindor with complete belief in his own ability. Chyna, the enigmatic Slytherin who was greatly in love with Asher. Luna, the oddball of the group though David couldn't say much but she was a genuinely nice person. Emma, the Ravenclaw with the over protective best friend Rhye Alexander and with Caesar as her boyfriend she was well protected.
Finally David looked at the youngest in the group, Cassidy. Yes, that was her name. David could feel her look at him every now and again, it seemed as though she felt like a loose wheel in this meeting of the older ones. Slowly he stood up and sidled next to Cassidy while everyone was looking away, choosing their various ice-creams.
"I take it that you are feeling a little out of place here? If not then I am sure as hell am. I understand that you are friends with Emma and want to be confident around her but you don't have to tag along. I'm going to stand outside, come with me if you want. I won't be offended if you don't however..."
With that David went outside looking at the streets which were quite empty but it wasn't a strange sight with the whole You-Know-Who and Harry Potter situation.

Chyna's eyes drifted downwards and to a deep red colored comforter set. She was about to re-position herself to grab it when two hands wrapped around her from the back. Her smaller frame jumped within the male's grasp and she squirmed a bit until she took in his scent. Asher. She giggled uncontrollably despite her headache at his kisses and she purred, rubbing her cheek against his embrace.
"Good afternoon, My Love." He whispered into her ear. "What have you and Cordelia done that has brought you here today?" With a laugh that had a million stories behind it, she opened her mouth to speak but she was cut off. "You got drunk...without me?" He finished off with a grin, and pecked her nose.
Chyna giggled again and nodded her head. "Yeah.." she trailed off, looking into his eyes with an innocent smile. "Cordelia and I tried to build a fort out of bedsheets and stuff," she rubbed her neck and winced, "we ripped my comforter. I had to sleep without blankets." She huffed and leaned up to kiss him gently on the lips.
"I hope you are okay?" Chyna beamed at his concern and shook her head. "I'm fine. I feel bad for my poor blankets though." She laughed again and ran her fingers against her temples, her eyes closing with the pressure.
"I think you ought to get this one!" He smiled widely. "Oh, and be careful where you step." He said walking back over to her. "I got you a gift." He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her nose lightly.
Chyna's eyes fluttered as he picked up the red one she was looking at. "I was just thinking the same thing- get out of my head, Asher." She winked and took it from his hands, snuggling against it with her cheek. "Where I step-" Chyna looked down and around her as if something was there and she noticed a bag. "A gift?" Her eyes widened and she giggled, shaking her head. "No, you spoil me too much already."
But his hands were around her waist and she was squealing lightly at his kiss. Pressing against his chest, she fought it playfully and pulled at his arm, dragging him out the door, hoping he'd pick up his present. "I heard Ice Cream outside- come on!" She shrieked, forgetting any pain of her headache because Asher made it all go away. Chyna tossed her money on the counter, paying for the comforter, and she dragged Asher out the door. The pair walked hand in hand towards the shop, following behind the group as they all walked in.
Chyna waited behind David until he left to go sit with the younger Ravenclaw, her eyes following him briefly. Was he always so... independent?

Cassidy was nervous when she noticed David move over to her, but she relaxed when he spoke and she nodded " all I wanted was to get new sheets that would not be hexed or give me a rash " she said as she heard him mention she could walk outside with him if she wanted she felt relived and that he would not be offended if she decided she didn't want to . Watching him leave the shop she slowly stood up and moved carefully out side the shop to lean on the stone window fram.
" Thanks and yeah I did feel that way, I'm not that good in social gatherings one reason I stay by my self, I thought this was going to be just me and Delphi guess I thought wrong, I know her because were both Ravenclaws and got talking in the common room she suggested coming in and do some shopping" she gave a long deep sigh as she looked at David "its David right?" she asked " just call me Cassie please Cassidy sounds all posh and I'm not " she shifted on the spot glancing back in the shop " she's a good friend but all those people .." she shook her head " I just get I guess scared "

David heard the door shut behind him as he walked out the shop, then it happened again. Cassidy had followed him and inside that made David feel quite relieved, finally someone wasn't afraid to chat to him.
She leant against the wall and begun talking, David nodded in the correct places while keeping quiet and looking at the floor. He knew how she felt up to when she said about Emma being a good friend, David had never had a "Friend" except for the voices in his head and they were just an accomplice.
"Nice to meet you Cassie...." David gave a smile as the voices in his head suggested about setting fire to her hair, David believed this wasn't a good way to start a conversation so decided against it.
"So what do you want to do?"

Cassidy smiled when he called her Cassie, ok she had asked him to call her than but nobody did and it sounded pretty good to her " um, well I'd like to go back and get those blankets and sheets then I'd like to look around Hogsmead not been here before" she said and looked around pausing on his face he seem to be struggling with something cassidy put it down to an inner demon she would not ever understand.
" ow and when I get back I'd like to burn those nasty other ones " she said brushing her foot back and forth over the stone of the shop she lent against. She watched him for a moment looking him up and down. " so what do you want to do?" she asked hoping he would have similar thoughts she once she had her sheets and blankets was open to anything he could suggest to do, even something that could potentially get them in trouble, but be fun at the same time she was ready to be a some what bad girl now, well she had found being good we getting her no where. She then felt the pull of disperating and she knew he'd moved them both some place else and she relaxed against him.
