Faye skimmed the rows of different kinds of lollies and nibbled her thumb nail, undecided once more. She was a superb organizer, party caterer and was generally good at making decisions but when it came to food she needed Laura. She just couldn't find the right type of lollies for the soon to be party that she was going to throw. So standing on her tipy-toes she looked over the shelf and skimmed the room for anyone who she might be able to get help from.

Lyra opened the door of the sweets shop and entered the large selling room. It was - as always - packed with students, and she could hardly get past them.
'So..what do I want? Maybe some chocolate first', she thought and went over to the huge racks filled with chocolate bars of every flavour you could think of. She picked five different flavours and the proceeded to the lollies, where she saw a girl she knew from Transfiguration class. What was her name again? It was something similar to hay, that's all she could remember. So she went over to her and said:
"Excuse me, I know you from Transfiguration class, but I just can't remember your name. What's it again?"
She waited until the girl answered.

"Faye." She smiled. "And you're Lyra." Remembering her from collapsing at the forbidden forest.

"Yeah, I'm Lyra," she said and faimtly smiled. Many people now knew her name because of the Fainting scene...
"So what are you doing here? You look like you're thinking hard - you really shouldn't be, this is a sweets shop, not school."

"I'm chosing sweets for a party." She sighed. "Care to help? I"m never good at chosing food."

"Sure," Lyra said. "A party? What kind of a party? Where will it be?" Lyra was quite curious as to what this party was all about.
"And what do you need me to help you with? Chocolate, lollies, fruitsnacks? I looove sweets! And I'm rather good in choosing them, I'd say. When I was small we often had parties - just for fun - and my motheralways let me chose....." She said distantly. Her concentration faded as she thought about her mother, her mother whom she had talked to last 8 years ago.

Faye saw Lyra's gaze fade into the distance and smiled slightly to herself. "Thanks...that is if it's not too much of a trouble." Faye added, hoping the process of chosing sweets were going to bring upon deep memories of the past. "It's just a get to know people party back in the common room. At night." She smiled. "Nothing big..." Shrugging she skimmed further. "Anything will be good." She added again.

Lyra came back into reality at the sound of Faye's voice. he had to pull herself together.
"Anything you say? ANYTHING? Mad girl. You say it's a getting to know people party in the evening in the Hufflepuff common room? You are so mad if you think anything will do. Right, I know Hufflepuffs generally prefer Dr.Knobble's licorice, trust me, if you give them Fandhi's they won't touch it." She went over to a rack with different kinds of licorice.
"There we go. Now, you know there are moving pictures of different magical animals in there, right? You even hear them. Ok, I'll tell you something, in the evenings people usually want to relax. But if this is a getting to know people party where everyone should stay up pretty long, you better use something that will cause excitement. So: take the dangerous and scary animals. Now you'll think: Hey how am I supposed to see which picture is inside of the sweetwrapper? Well, I'll show you a little trick: "Durcsicto claro," she mumbled.
Suddenly the sweetwrapper looked lie it had been x-rayed and you could see the picture in it. It was a chestnut coloured hippogriff stomping on the ground, snorting loudly.
"Silencio" Lyra said and the sound stopped.
"See, this is not what you would want."

Faye raised a surprised eyebrow. "Wow...you really know a lot about sweets." She smiled. "Hey - if this organizing club happens, you so have to join. We'll be great togehter." She grinned widely, thinking about Loz and her when they were in their young years. They had so much fun planning parties together.
