Amara shook her head, "No, I've never been to Hogsmeade before, so I don't even know what there is to do here."

Jungkook gave her a sad look. "Come on, we'll make this day unforgettable." He opened the latch, and they were in a basement. "We're in Honeydukes' cellar. Follow me."

They were in the store a few minutes later, and it was amazing. There was candy everywhere. She didn't want to blink and miss anything. Jungkook was grabbing all kinds of things to buy. He kept mumbling about how Yoongi liked this; this was Joonie's favorite. He was buying them all of their favorite things. "What do you like?"

She just looked at him. Her family had never let her have candy before, and she felt dumb telling him this: "Um, I don't know, honestly. I don't eat candy."

He looked shocked, "you don't eat candy, why?"

She couldn't tell him the truth, that her family didn't want her to have any pleasure or happiness. And all the times she was kicked out, she was more concerned with surviving than eating candy. So she said, "We have a lot of dentists in my family." She laughed at his confused look, "It's how Muggles care for their teeth. Sugar is bad for teeth, so no candy for me." That seemed to appease him.

"Well, today we aren't going to worry about sugar; we are going to eat our fill!" He looked so excited, and it was infectious.

"Sounds like a plan; I can't wait."

He picked out a bunch of things he wanted her to try. Some were fruity, some were sour, and he even had a ton of chocolate. He kept grabbing things, and soon, his and her arms were full. "I think this should be enough," he said with a huge grin.

Amara scoffed, "We are going to get so many cavities from all this candy." He had no idea what that was; most pureblood wizards know little about the muggle world. She made it a point to learn as much as she could. It wasn't easy when she could only be in the muggle world when she was kicked out. But she found books that muggles call Encyclopedias, and they were extremely helpful in teaching her anything that strangers couldn't.

He paid for all the candy, and she tried to protest, but he said this was more for him than her. He wanted to see her face when she tried all the candy. Their haul was bagged up, and off they went to Zonko's. 

It was better than she could have ever imagined. After the war, so many cool things were in there; Ron started working with George after Fred's death. While he wasn't great at making jokes, he was a decent businessman. His idea was to spread the word and have Zonko's sell its merchandise. It was pretty lucrative for them and increased business for both stores.

Jungkook left with another full bag of stuff, "want to see Madame Rosmerta? I could go for a butterbeer right now."

She nodded her head, and he looped his hand around hers. When they walked in, she thought they would be in trouble. "What do you think you do during a school day, Mr. Jeon?"

Jungkook put on his best smile, "I had to come here to see my favorite pretty girl."

She scoffed and flipped her rag in his face, "Pretty girl? I'm old enough to be your grandmother, Jungkook."

He just shrugged his shoulders, "it doesn't bother me."

She blushed a little, "what can I get you two then?"

He held up two fingers, "Two butterbeers, please. My best friend here has never had one before."

Rosemerta's eyes snapped to hers, "you've never had one before?"

She shook her head, "No, this is my first time in Hogsmeade, but I'm excited to try stuff."

She brought them two butterbeers and two Cornish pastries. "Let me know when you are done, and I'll bring you some pudding." They both smiled and thanked her. They spent the next hour eating, drinking, and laughing. They talked about nothing in particular; Amara asked him about his family. He told her he had an older brother and was close to his parents. She flinched when he started asking about her family. She told him that they weren't that close, they didn't like that she was a witch.
