I smirk as Bridget describes chocolate frogs. While I've never quite had a hatred of frogs (quite honestly, I would sometimes go catch them, just to let them go a few minutes later after I was satisfied taking in their odd, and arguably, ugly beauty), I could relate. They WERE rather slimy. It was sort of like trying to hold onto a giant slug--something we were getting ample practice with in Potions. 

[i]"Well then, how about after this lot is done and we get to make an escape, we go back? I have some studying to do anyway. And, I know a place we can study AND enjoy our sweets. That way Madam Pince won't come rattling down on our heads in the library about it. She can sniff those out from the other side of the castle, no matter how sneaky you are. I'm lucky I haven't been kicked out yet."[/i] I arch an eyebrow for a moment, wondering what place she could have found. [b]"Well,[/b] I say with a smirk and a shake of my head, [b]"You're not [i]wrong.[/i] That, she definitely can. I've attempted to sneak chocolate into the library a time or two. Sometimes I've wondered if she has some sort of chocolate-detecting charm surrounding the place..."[/b] My voice trails off as I rub my chin contemplatively. It wasn't the first time I suspected such a charm. Perhaps I should attempt a detection spell of some sort one of these days...

[b]"ANYWAY,"[/b] I say, shaking my head to bring myself back to reality, [b]"Sounds good to me. Maybe you can help me with a few things myself. I'm up for it!"[/b] I watch as Bridget all but throws 2 Galleons at the wizard behind the register. I almost laugh at his saucer sized eyes before he nods approvingly, slipping the money away. Stepping outside, I shiver slightly. How was the air so damn cold already? It seemed to have dropped at least 10 degrees since we were inside the shop. I watch in amusement for a moment as Bridget attempts to don her hat and gloves while holding her bags. Just as I'm about to volunteer to help her, she all but thrusts them into my arms.

[i]"Mind holding this? I didn't think to get these out before we came outside. Just want to put them on for the walk back to the castle."[/i] I nod, trying to hide the amusement in my eyes and keeping my face smile free. [b]"Yeah sure. Understandable, it sure got cold out all of a sudden."[/b] I gaze at the overcast sky, but my mind is turning back to my dream, back to my...studies. I blink the memory of the dreams away--but I know they will return. They always do.
