Song For This Chapter: Mr. Right - A Rocket To The Moon (I remember when this song came out - it was like love at first sight. Don't judge, I love my music xD )

Ch. 12: Mistletoe Make-out 

    "Candy, candy!" I yelled, standing on top of the couch, cupping my hands around my mouth to get everyone's attention. "Get your free candy!" I jiggled a bag in the air filled with the toffees I had just cooked up this morning. 

    Ron's eyes perked up and he jumped from his seat next to the fireplace, holding out a hand. "Alright, Granger. Cough over the candy." The way he practically begged for it made me chuckle and shake my head.

    "Sorry, Ronnie." Fred piped up, yanking me off the couch and into his awaiting arms, making me squeal a little. "But, those are for our volunteers." His brown eyes bore into my own as he held me.

    Blushing, I stepped away and rose a brow. "Oh? You managed to get volunteers?" 

    George clutched his chest and snickered. "What are you trying to say, Elle?" 

    "You don't think people trust us?" Fred finished, mirroring the look of feigned shock and disappointment on his twin's face. Dropping the act, Fred and George called out together, "Oh, first years!" They grinned devilishly as the little tots wandered inside, taking nervous glances around the room, but sitting down as instructed.

    Leaning into one of the girls, I looked her dead in the eyes. "Hun, you did volunteer, right?" Her hazel eyes widened a little, but she quickly nodded, an unsure smile spreading onto her face. "Alright then...I guess." I shrugged, walking to the front of the line. "Will you two do the honours?" I looked towards the Twins, holding up the bag of toffees.

    Grinning wickedly, they nodded and each took a random candy out of the bag, starting at the front of the line and heading down. "Here you are," Fred smirked, handing Nigel a Nose-bleed Nougat. "Enjoy, and do come again." 

    Each first year was handed out a different toffee while I made sure that I had the remedy candies on hand as soon as the reaction took a turn for the worst. Nigel was the first to be affected, his face ran pale and crimson began to drip from his nose, steadily growing more and more profuse as the time continued on. 

    Then, one by one, the first years began dropping like little flies. One threw up into a bucket, another developed a horrible rash on his face and neck, a couple fainted, and the other began seizing. "What is going on here?!" A shrill voice called out behind a rather large book. 

    Hermione jolted out of her chair and raced over to our side of the room, furious at the sight of the violently ill children. 

    "Calm down, 'Mione." I reassured her, even if I did feel a little bad for them. They did volunteer for this. "They volunteered, besides I have the remedies. Watch." Yanking Nigel out of his chair, he swooned from the loss of blood, but I shoved a bright pink toffee into his mouth, immediately stopping the blood flow. 

    Grinning, Ron nodded in appreciation. "That's bloody brilliant, guys." He nodded towards his brothers with a sort of respect, earning a glare from Hermione. "Oh, come on 'Mione. You can't tell me you don't think that's clever."

    Hermione stuck her nose up into the air, earning an eye-roll from me. "Not at all, I believe proper health and school attendance is clever. Not conning your way out of class." She gave me a small smile, showing that she harbored no ill feelings. "Elle, would you like to look through the catalog before I send it off?"
