its everywhere! (open!)

Lee knew that he shouldn't be in honey dukes seeing as he all ready has a sweat problem, but putting himself into the center of Candy heaven would be very difficult to come back out, but he walked in anyway. when the smell of candy hit his nose Lee had to stop for a bit to center himself again, then he began going straight down every aisle and grabbing what ever hard candy he could afford at the moment. when Lee looked down at all of the hard candy he was holding in his arms he almost laughed t himself seeing as it looked like he was holding at least a year supply of candy in his arms, when he knew that it would only take a week or two for him to finish it all and then he would be back here again to restock.
when Lee went to pay for his candy he wasn't surprised that the lady smiled at him and said 'good morning lee' he just smiled and payed for his candy. Lee had been buying candy here ever since he could come and even before then he would send somebody else with some money just to buy hims some candy, so the people who worked him knew him pretty well.
when Lee was down paying for his candy he grabbed the bags and began walking to the door but it was just his luck when somebody open the door while he was trying to grab the door handle to walk out, and it was just his luck that the door hit him square in the face. with the force of the door Lee fell onto the floor holding onto his nose which had begun to bleed.

Tain had out a long bit if parchment with a list of sweet on it from each if his siblings and he had been standing at the till for the last few minutes reciting what each if the four if them had asked for. He already had three bags hanging from his hands and now was happily down to the last item on his smallest sisters list ,"and three sugar firebolts to finish" he said with a small sigh and the old man behind the counter chuckled and then handed twin the final sweets. "just stick it on my tab and I'll pay when I grow hands again" he said and the man nodded ,it was times like these when tain was thankful be lived in Hogsmead. He turned and walked carefully round all the other people in the shop and tugged on the handle of the door to open it and try to escape while there was still blood in his hands when he heard a yelp from behind him and turned to see a boy on the floor holding his nose and rains eyes widened. "I'm sorry, I'd help you up but these darn sweets would hit you" he said quickly as he let go of the door and let it swing shut behind him

[moon]

when lee saw that the man was holding bags full of sweets he smiled through his hands, "its fine, it happens sometimes," lee said through his hand as he stood back up "i don't suppose you could use a bit of help with those bags?" lee knew that he probably looked like he was all ready holding a lot of bags, but Lee had carried a lot more, and he knew that this man probably would be grateful to feel his arms sooner then later.
Lee picked his bags back up and wiped his hands off in his jeans, that were underneath his school robes and pulled a tissue out of his pocket and held it to his nose knowing that it was still bleeding a bit, but Lee just kept on smiling "by the way, my name is Lee, since i am pretty sure that you would like to at least know the name of the stranger that offered to help you carry your bags" Lee began to think that he might look a bit strange wearing his school robes at the moment but he didn't really care at the moment, so long as he was comfortable he didn't really care.

[tain]

Tain gave a small with of relief as the boy said he was ok and then gave a little grin at his comment bags and shook his head ,"I'm sure I can managed five bags of sweets" he said with a nod to the door. This time the boy who called himself lee could open it to avoid all further injuries to anyone, Tain had enough cut and bruises and scars from qudditch and his broom work to last three lifetimes.

"Lee? You wouldn't happen to be a gryffindor?" he said as the boys name clicked In his head, it was only then that he really looked at the boy only to see him in school robes and Tain shook his head at himself. "ignore that point, I only said it as my adoptive sisters have spoke about you, well the older to have" he said as he recounted nixs comments of a younger boy and graces avoided comments of the same name but older than her.

[moon]

Lee opened the door so then both of them could leave the sweet shop with out getting any more injured. "they do? who are they? maybe we have talked recently" as lee talked he began opening one of the hard candy's from his bags and began eating with a thoughtful look on his face. "by the way, whats your name? seeing as it would be a bit weird if i called you 'stranger' " lee hoped that this man would be kind enough to say his name because if his adoptive sisters had talked him then lee would be able to place a face to a name.
Lee began thinking very thoughtfully about nothing special as he waited for a response from this man, but then lee noticed that this man was kinda cute, but lee was guessing that this man might be a bit old for him so lee gave up and let out a depressed sigh knowing that it would be a bit hard to find a boyfriend but lee was willing to deal with that challenge so long as he gets to be happy for who he is and not what people try to make him be.

[tain]

Tain gave a little smirk at the younger boy and then shifted the bags in his hands and then held out his hand and then nodded his head ,"Tain forest, owner of matchsticks and eldest of the forest adoptive siblings" he said with a smile before one of his bags gave a loud rip And he cursed quickly and then bent over to start picking up Kevins sweets.

"my next eldest forest siblings are twin boys who are in hufflepuff and ravenclaw and then there's grace who's the year under them in year four and in hufflepuff too. Maya's the little one and in hufflepuff too but she only started this year, nix is the eldest of the kids though and she is considered one of us but she still keeps her second name" he said as he tried to pick up he sweets in front of him without ripping any of the other bags that still hung from his arms.

[moon]

as lee listened tain talking lee pulled out a extra bag so then tain could put the sweets in it. lee set down his own bags and began to help pick the sweets up because if they stayed on the ground to long then they would be ruined. "ah Nix, i haven't talked to her lately but i do remember her, she seems like she will grow up fine and have little problems in life, seeing as she seems to be a strong woman." when Lee and Tain finished picking up the sweets Lee stood up and picked up his own bags carefully knowing how easily these bags could rip if you aren't careful with them.
"so what house had you been in when you went to Hogwarts?" Lee was very curious as to why nix was the only one not in hufflepuff but then again it is all the hats choice so Lee couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to but he could try to figure out what held this family together seeing as lee was a bit nervous that his on family might fall apart because he is gay so if he could learn what held the one together then maybe he could figure out a way to keep his own family together.

[tain]

Tain nodded thanks as the younger boy took another bag and then he was able to fill it with his brothers sweets and then he laughed softly at the boys question ,"I was never calm or mellow enough to follow most of my siblings in to hufflepuff and I'm not as smart as Kevin so I was never a ravenclaw. I was always a troublemaker who put his own neck on the line for his friends, supposedly very much like nix so I hear" he said with a smile as he stood up with the bags hanging from his arms once again.

"I was a gryffindor, I was a qudditch captain too. They always said that I would have been a good head boy but then people remembered all the trouble I was always in and that slipped away from me but I was happy on my brooms so it never really cared" he said with a little chuckle at all the memories of being in detention every few days. "what about you? Do you follow the troublemaking path or are you just the good friend side of the house?" he asked with a turn to his head to looked at the younger boy again

[moon]

Lee smiled "well i have never been much of a trouble maker, but my sister seems to be more troublesome then me, but i think that she will grow out of it, and my sister just so happens to be a gryffindor. my older brother is troublesome, but it just might be that he is jealous that he never got to go to Hogwarts." Lee was never to found of talking about his older brother seeing as he always picked on Lee and when ever they met up he would usually ask if Lee had told there parents that he is gay, and Lee always knew that no matter what he did he would never make his brother treat him nicely, but Lee was always fine with that so long as he doesn't need to see him more then he has to, which is usually just on the holidays which is even now iffy seeing as his brother was getting really busy with his work so he would be lucky to even get home in time for Christmas, which made everyone at least a bit sad.

[tain]

Tain tilted his head to one side before smiling softly ,"I'll take it your like my siblings, muggleborn? Well nix isn't but the other four are" he said as the boy spoke of his brother not attending the school. He could of course been born a squib but many people saw that as a massive insult and tain didn't like to touch on the subject unless someone else brought it up.

"hey, you got any free time? I have to take all of these back to the shop and leave them their for my siblings but they are all down on the broom field so you could come in for tea or something if you felt like it" Tain said with a smile before he nodded to his dark red shop that gleamed in the sunlight, he had always wanted to stick a bright coloured shop in Hogsmead and now he had finally done it and was doing an excellent trade too
