Khaat kept a large jar of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans in her office, and she was running low on them. She decided she needed to apparate to Hogsmeade and go into Honeydukes and restock. Besides that, Brian had a soft spot for their fudge--especially the chocolate peanut butter fudge--and she decided to spoil him just a little.
She walked into the shop, and she sniffed the air that was rich with the smell of warm chocolate. Well, it always was here--between the chocolates they made and the fudge, it never stopped smelling of warm chocolate in here. It was delightful. Khaat knew if she worked her, she would never be able to stop eating the profits. It was probably a good thing that she worked at St. Mungos full time. At least there, the first priority was not, necessarily, food.
She had put in an order for a large 5 pound bag of the jellybeans, and she knew they would be waiting for her behind the counter. In the meantime, she took a paper sack, unable to resist browsing the thousands of jars on the shelves, just as she had done since she was a little girl. Somehow Honeydukes brought out the kid in everyone.
She came around a corner and saw a couple of people scuffling to retrieve spilled candy off the floor. Well, that happened in here all the time, especially when Hogwarts was in session and the weekend breaks came about. On a Saturday afternoon, one sometimes had to wait just to fit in the door like a sardine with all the other students. When she had lived in the cottage, she had avoided Honeydukes at those hours and had come when the shop was relatively empty.
She looked closer at the people scrambling on the floor and realized one was Sophia. "Soph?" she asked. "What happened?"
