death by chocolate ♥ open

[Sesshy Wood]

She planned a day outside her flat since all she's done so far is work and return home to sleep. For the next several days she was on vacation, much to her enjoyment, and so she decided to make several stops before heading home to see her family since its been awhile. Sesshy dressed casually in a pair of khaki shorts and a dark green camisole with comfortable black flats. She needed to be comfortable and dress lightly since the heat outside was terrible. She swept her hair from over her shoulder and took hold of her bag that contained the essentials like money, identification, and of course her wand. Now she had to decided whether she wanted to travel by floo to Hogsmeade or apparate. Becoming engulfed in flames and dealing with soot didn't sound like a good idea. She liked to keep a clean appearance and also clean lungs. So she chose to apparate and disappeared with a loud pop.

Hogsmeade looked the same as ever. It brought bag childish memories, many that she cherished because most were spent with good friends and family. Sesshy smiled as she walked along the shops, glancing through the window of Honeydukes before entering inside. She was engulfed in the smell of sweet candies and the sight definitely had her mouth watering. This shop would break her account if she didn't have self control. Making her way further inside Honeydukes, she wandered over to her right where anything chocolate was located. If anyone knew Sesshy very well, they would know that her weakness was chocolate, especially chocolate frogs!

Doing inventory had never been her favorite task in the store but, alas, it must be done. Being in the back room for extended periods of time could make any person lose their sanity.....

Six boxes of chocolate frogs.... two crates of Bertie Bott's.... 12 jars of Cockroach Clusters....

The checklist seemed endless and the rows of candy seemed as if they went on forever. She hummed softly to herself, hoping to finish the task quickly, ignoring the fact that once this was done she would have to move on to the daunting task of contacting suppliers to reorder her stock. Maybe there was an easier way to go about this.... but, being raised a Muggle, she sometimes could not part with the "complicated" ways of doing things.

The tinkling of a bell signaled the arrival of a customer. Breathing a sigh of relief, Cassie checked the last boxes she had just counted and set the clipboard down. Stepping back into the front end of the store, she glanced around quickly and spotted the customer. This woman looked familiar.... she puzzled it for a moment before recognizing her as a fellow Hogwarts alum.

"You've got a sweet tooth today then, too?" Cassie smiled as she approached the counter near the chocolates. "Seems like I've been craving chocolate all week, I know the feeling!"

At first she didn't recognize that the owner was around, but a store cannot run on it's own. However, when she glanced up to see the woman, she felt her memory trying to figure where she had seen her before. Sesshy was lucky to have regained all her memories after last year's unfortunate events. She was afraid that the people she once knew and grew up with she wouldn't recognize. A small smile appeared across her lips, and she felt thankful for her close friends and family for all they have done to make sure she returned to a normal life.

"Yes! This sweet tooth came crashing like a tidal wave. Also just coming here reminds me of good memories," she replied while taking a few chocolate frogs off the shelf to purchase. Her blue eyes looked at the woman again, still trying to remember her name. They went to school and she had been a few years above her. Sesshy had troubles with names, but not with faces. She definitely recognized her as a fellow Hogwarts alum, but what was it?! "I know you and not to sound rude or crazy but for the life of me I can't remember your name. But we went to school together. Am I right?"
