Clementine Greengrass required very little encouragement in life, and so the boy's Why not? was more than enough to light a fire under her. Without even looking to see if he was behind her, the Hufflepuff made her way over to the nearest shop employee who wasn't behind the counter managing the sweet teeth of the Hogwarts youths.

"Excuse me, Sir," Clementine greeted politely but as though rather on a mission (which, she supposed, she was), "I am afraid my friend has had a bit of an accident." This was said with sympathy, both for the Ravenclaw and for the shopkeep that she now realized was not a shopkeeper at all but Mr. Honeyduke.

Well, it was too late to abort course now.
