Bradly hated visiting Honeydukes. Not for the reason that he absolutly hated sweets, but for the fact he absolutly loved them. He loved them to the point of hilarious obsession. But he had wanted to get a gift...just a friendly gift to Brigitta. A box of Candy Hair, one of his favorites. It was a thank you for actually accpeting him to this job. He moved his way into Honeydukes with his head low. He would not glance to the right or to the left...just straight ahead. He could see the Candy Hair over in its usual corner and he headed right over. He would just grab it and go...don't look to the side...don't look to the side... With a slight sweep of his head, it shown with a heavenly light. He could almost hear the angelic chorus as it floated down from the gates above. Chocolate Frogs His mouth was watering...No! He hurried closer and closer to the Candy Hair...only to find it was gone. "Nine Bloody Hells..." He hissed to himself and turned on his heels and headed to the front desk. Honeydukes, as usual, was packed to the max. He sighed, shifting from one foot to the other in line. It was no use. It seemed that with every step, he wasn't going anywhere at all. He sighed and looked behind the cashier. He could easily slip into the back, hurry out, grab some Hair, put the money on the counter, and get out of there. Anything to get out of here faster...away from those heavenly sweets. Sounded good to him. He quickly glanced this way and that. Seeing that no one was paying attention (pfft...who would?), he quickly darted behind the crowd and into the back storage center. Boxes were piled everywhere. It was like a mini city in the back. He made his way along the bunches of boxes until he found what he wanted. The Candy Hair was on the very bottom of a much larger box. He sighed and bent over to retrieve it....and knocked over the top box. The Potions Master looked up, blinked as color drained from his face, and was hit smack first in the face. Bradly blinked and took a step back. The room began to grow many different shades of violet...and soon, he couldn't remember anything but a sheet of black before his eyes.

It was nearly closing time, but Amanda needed chocolate. She was a woman, and we all know women get that hankering and they have to fulfill it. She left the twins with Pinky, as usual, and made her way down to Huneydukes, still dressed in her business clothing, since she had a meeting with Birgitta, on how magic is not used on children. So she had a little run in with an unruley child? Shouldn't she be allowed to do something? Apparently not. But she had on her deep rich blue colored dress, that came just a bit above the knees, and was a V neck. To match she had on her black pumps. She looked too good to be going out to Hogsmeade.
About two minutes till closing time, Amanda snuck in as everyone else was leaving. The owner of the shop was glaring at her, like she had done something completely wrong, but as soon as she smiled, he smiled back. "I was wondering, if I could just fill up on some nightly chocolate."
"Most of our stock has been taken out today, kids coming in and wiping us clean! Check the back, I trust ya."
Amanda smiled sweetly and moved towards the storage room. She opened the door, closed it behind her and blinked down at a Professor laying on the floor. She knew him as Bradley, the Potions Professor, she had met him once before. She was stuck as to what to do, leave him there? Or wake him? The man was getting ready to close, so she figured she should wake him up, wouldn't want to have him stuck in here all night, though Amanda would be thoroughly pleased if she was.
She stepped close to him and knelt down, "Hey, Bradley, wake up." Her voice was soft, and her hand was a bit firm shaking him, to get up. "You ok?"
As she was trying to wake up a Professor, someone was walking around the shop, locking everything, and forgetting someone was in the storage room, which was now, locked. She heard a door open, someone leave, and the door lock heavily. "Oh no.." she got up and went to the door, tried to opened it by shaking it.

"Hey, Bradley, wake up." A voice seemed to drift through the haziness that was Bradly's life at the moment. He pursed his lips and mumbled a pitiful reply."But mum, I donna wan' go to school toda'...."He said, murming something in Gaelic next.
"You ok?"The voice became a littler clearer and he opened one eye very painfully...and thought an angel had fallen from heaven. He blinked, his mouth agape, to see Amanda Definstine hovering over him. "Umm...uh..."All he could manage was a nod. He sat up, holding his head."Ow...that bloody hurt..."He rubbed his forehead, where a big red welt had formed."Ouch..." He looked up at Amanda again."Where am I?" He looked around him at the piles of boxes...and rememembered.
"GAH!"He jumped up, holding himself steady. Just what he DID NOT need right now. Sugar..and it was bloody everywhere. Curse his obsession. He quickly quieted himself and turned back to Amanda."Ummm...what are you doing here?" Knowing he sounded like a complete idiotic jerk, he added."I mean, back here...er..." He could have slapped himself across his forehead.
His head turned to the door...and noticed that no one was inside. It was completely deserted. He was alone. In a candyhouse. Alone. With sugar...and Amanda.
Bradly almost toppled over again.

"But mum, I donna wan' go to school toda'...."
Amanda looked back at Bradly and blinked at him. She wasn't his mother, she wasn't even related to him. She walked towards him "Are you sure you are ok?" She asked, looking at the red welt on his forehead.
"Ow...that bloody hurt... Ouch... Where am I?"
She giggled and shook her head "Jeez, what hit your head? You are in Honeydukes." She smiled and looked around for something cold to place on his head. After finding candy that needed to be kept cold, she snatched it, and placed it on his forehead gently, "Hold this here."
"GAH!" Amanda watched him jump back and she blinked, biting her lip some. She always bit her lip when she grew nervous.
"Ummm...what are you doing here? I mean, back here...er..."
"I am here, because I had a need for chocolate, and the kind I wanted was back here. But the owner, locked everything down as after about a minute or two I was back here. I guess he forgot I was here..." She looked over at some boxes and snatched out a few chocolate frogs. She opened open and bit into it before it got the change to hope off. "How did you end up back here?"

"How did you end up back here? Bradly rubbed the welt on his head again...and he remembered. "Ummm...to tell you the truth...a box..sorta fell on me..."He looked over at the pile of boxes that had toppled over."I was getting some Candy Hair for Ms. Brigitta...and the boxes decided they didnt' like me."He looked nervously over at Amanda.
He followed her as she opened the chocolate frogs. Again, the heavens seemed to open and the angels came down to sing their anthem of love. Two good things in one place...how the hell was he going to control himself? He rubbed the back of his head, focusing his attention on the pain in his forehead...but it was allready being numbed by the combined narcotic smell of the chocolate and Amanda herself that was wafing through the air. He blinked a few times to rid of the haze and the strange feeling in the pit of his stomach. A primal feeling.
"I'm gonna go check the doors." He said. He moved to the front of Honeydukes, hastily make his way past the tempting sweets. Sure enough, they were locked in tight. Great. He knew all kinds of sealing charms would be placed up on the doors to make sure they were locked and would stay that way. Where was Carlotta when you actually needed her? He sighed and headed back to the storage area. "Yep...we're in here good until mornin'..."He sighed, squatting down into a hunched position.
Slowly, he looked up at Amanda, who was eating the chocolate frogs. His mouth began to water, and before he could stop himself, he asked. "Are you going to eat all of those?"
Uh-oh.

"Ummm...to tell you the truth...a box..sorta fell on me..."
Amanda sucked in her breath and made a pinched up face, "Ouch. Those boxes you gotta be careful with, they just fly out of no where." She smiled up at him. What she said, was of course, sarcastic. But she thought she could make a little humor out of it, maybe make the situation a bit more comfortable. Seeing as how him, and her, were kind of stuck, and were the only company they had. She bit into her very tastey, chocolate frog and kept listening to him.
"I was getting some Candy Hair for Ms. Brigitta...and the boxes decided they didnt' like me."
She smiled and nodded in understanding, only stopped to blink as he looked at her as if she was going to bite him. Which she'd never do, unless, well, it was sexual. Then she might bite or 'seductively' nip someone. After grabbing another chocolate frog from it's box, she slipped out of her high heeled shoes. She was now about three intches shorter then she was before, and only had stockings on her feet. "Much better, " she mumbled, and sat up on an unopened box.
"I'm gonna go check the doors."
"Ok," she watched him leave, and nipping into a chocolate frog as her eyes seemed glued on butt. He did have a good butt, one of the best she had seen. She blinked at her thoughts, and her cheeks turned a slight pink. Where did she start thinking that about a fellow coworker? Or an old Professor of hers.
"Yep...we're in here good until mornin'..."
She looked at the ground as soon as he started coming back, "I imagine so, they must have a spell to block the only unlocking spell I know, Alohamora." Which was true, it was the most common one used, she would think they would have a special lock so nothing, but themselves, could get in.
"Are you going to eat all of those?"
Amanda blinked and looked down at the small box of chocolate frogs in her hands. She wasn't sure, she probably could and never gain a pound, but sharing is generally a good thing. She shook her head, "No, you can have some." She held out the box, but didn't make an effort to get off from the large box she was sitting on. "What's your favorite chocolate? I'd have to say that these are pretty much my all time fave."

"What's your favorite chocolate? I'd have to say that these are pretty much my all time fave."
Bradly reached for the chocolate and smiled. "I like pretty much anything with sugar in it lassie..."He said with a chuckle. It was true. He had a love affair with sugar...until it made him go nuts..so he tries to stay away from it...
So much for that.
He quickly stuffed the chocolate frogs in his mouth and savored the taste. It was like bliss in a small, brown, frog shaped form. He was pretty sure he was purring as he swallowed the sweet sensation. Completely lost now, he reached for another and bit into is slowly, again looking as though heaven had come to earth. Wouldn't be too long now...
Sure enough,as if on cue, he could feel the hairs on the back of his neck rising. Uh oh...not good not good...too...many...endorfins. He was getting waaaay too happy waaay too quick.
Not good...not good.

Amanda swung her legs gently as she bit into more chocolate. It was tastey, and she was rather enjoying herself. For a few seconds she considered the situation. It seemed a lot better than what she could be going home too, which would be two very crabby twins, and eating chocolate alone. When you eat chocolate alone, it's like you are wollowing, and at first you start out not wollowing, but since Amanda's love life is down the drain, it would certainly develope into down right crying. But she wasn't alone, so there was no wollowing. She was with Bradly, whom she never really had a conversation with before, but seemed like a good friend, well at least a very attractive good friend. Which she wasn't sure if it was a good thing to be thinking about. Sure she was lonely, but if she just gets into another relationship, he might leave her, so maybe she could not think about how handsome he is, and just focus on friendship. She could do that, right?
"I like pretty much anything with sugar in it lassie..."
Amanda blushed at being called lassie, why was she blushing? It had to be the most childish thing on the planet. She nodded despite her embarrassedness, "Sugar is always good."
She bit into a last bit chocolate, set the box down on the one she was sitting on, and climbed down to the floor. She didn't realize how close Bradly was till she had gotten off the box. Her whole body was right pressed against him, which made her blush more. Why was she blushing all of a sudden? She was Amanda Definstine, someone well known for her tease and nonshyness. She blinked up at him, he was tall too compared to her. "Heh, sorry," she snuck out from the small sandwitch and slipped out of the candy box room.
"Wonder if they have a music player thingie..." she said aloud, but more to herself. She glanced around and found and old record player. She searched through the old big round discs trying to find something that seemed decent, since she hadn't even heard of half these bands. She picked something out that seemed pretty cool, and slipped it onto the record player. Biting her lip, she put the needle part onto it, and a soft melody spilled out into the candy shop.

Bradly blinked. He could feel the buzz...He gritted his teeth and set himself down harder. No jumping up anymore...but the chocolate smells so good...
I need another bite!
No! I can't...you KNOW what will happen!
But...but...but...
He quickly grabbed for another chocolate frog and snarfed it down. He could tell it was working. His head was becoming light, he was begining to see stars...
He glanced over at Amanda, blinking. "Wonder if they have a music player thingie..."
"I'msure..they..do..."He said, knowing his words were beginning to slur together..
(Sorry it's so short...XD)

Amanda swayed slightly to the music, enjoying the melody. She turned around in a few circles and then stopped, before she the counteres edge. She looked overtowards Bradly and saw him, acting... really funny. He looked like he wanted to eat more, but he was trying to resist. His eyes wide with hunger. Or well... a sugar rush. He grabbed another frog and shoved it into his mouth, making a slightly sigh of relief.
"I'msure..they..do..."
And now his words were being slurred together. Amanda started walking towards him, ignoring the song now. All her focus was on a man, acting like a twelve year old boy. "Um," she muttered, "Are you ok?"
She got closer, about an inch away from his face, and he didn't even seem to notice her. Just the chocolate. Which wasn't normal. Most guys got frozen when she got close, and payed attention to her every move. He, payed attention to chocolate.
Her golden eyes moved towards the box of frogs and snagged the box. "I think you have had enough of these..." She turned away and hid the box somewhere, so he couldn't find it.

"Uh...Are you okay?" He could barely hear her over the ringing in the back of his head. Bradly looked up and blinked, a huge goofy grin covering his face.
"Ohyeah,I'mfine!"He said, overly chipper. He grinned from ear to ear and quickly snarfed down another chocolate frog...until his world came crashing down.
It was utter doom and destruction. The box, the glorious box of chocolaty goodness, was gone from his hands. The world had suddenly become a grim and foreboding place. Bradly felt his eyes dialate and he looked up at Amanda...to see her quickly hiding the box away.
"I think you have had enough of these..."
Enough? He could never have enough. He began to feel the high in his blood began to fade...he couldn't let it...no...
He stood up, growling."Whatdidyoudothatfor?"He said, crossing his arms and glaring at her. She might have been beautiful, but no one, and he meant no one, got in the way of him and Madam Cocoa Bean.

The look on Bradly's face was priceless. It was as if you took away his baby son and told him he would never see him again. Amanda stood a few feet in front of him, watching as he stood up, crossed his arms and glared at her disapproving like. She rolled her eyes and shook her head, was a grown man really upset about having chocolate taken away from him?
"Whatdidyoudothatfor?"
His voice was harsh, and came out more like a growl than words. But she figured out what he was saying pretty clearly. And she looked back at him, her head held high and her hands on her hips. "Because you are slurring your words together and acting like a two year old who had just given a butt load of candy."
And he did seem like that. Amanda was in a place with an adult, and no crying and wailing. It was nice, and she wasn't about to give it up to a box of candy. Nope.

Bradly couldn't believe it. Back talk from her. Sure, she had been at Hogwarts longer than he had...but she had no right to treat him like a kid..
Because you are slurring your words together and acting like a two year old who had just given a butt load of candy."
A two year old?A bit of his thoughts came back to him...and remembered. He was acting a bit foolishly. He always got like this when he had sugar...that was why he had never been allowed to have it as a boy. It made his emotions go hay wire....and he could tell the sugar rush was allready leaving him...
The unusually bright colors that the room had been now became dull and drank...and he could tell he was getting drowsy. He wouldn't make a fool of himself in front of her...no...
"Please...just one more...I'm gonna collapse if..."
THUD!
Too late. He was on the floor, his world spinning around him in a chaos of dark swirls and spinning stars....and one killer sugar headache...
"Oi..."He muttered, holding onto his head. He shouldn't have eaten that frog.
