Welcome back to yet another blog of Magic beyond the wand. In the previous one, you might've seen how magic can be found in the smallest of items. In this blog series, I, Carolina Ellsworth, will talk about the magical items, sweets and everything!
On a cold Sunday evening, I was in my dormitory, wrapped up in the blanket. Oh, how comfortable it was! Imagine it's all dark and snowing outside and you're just there cozily eating Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans and chatting with your roommates. Well, we were all full after the meal in the great hall and thankfully all our homework was done as well. Lyra Carter and Monique Tourvene were there as well!
Oh well, since it's an all flavoured bean, you never know which flavour you'd get! So what happened is- Lyra winced as though she'd tasted something utterly disgusting. Well, that was because she had! "Oh what's up there, Lyra?" Monique asked, tilting her head. And oh my, I couldn't have guessed but it was a rotten egg flavoured bean. Disgusting, indeed.
Monique and I burst into laughter when I could feel a weird taste lingering on my tongue as well. Oh no, detergent? It wasn't just weird; it was awful, I repeat, awful. Oh one could never trust this, honestly. Monique was still laughing, clutching her stomach. It isn't anything funny, is it? Monique would say otherwise but nevermind.
Seems interesting? I can assure you it is! You can find them in Honeydukes, Wine Tap Street, Hogsmeade for only a galleon, nine sickles and twenty-four knuts. Yes yes, not expensive at all! And now let's ask Lyra about her opinions!
Carolina: So, Lyra, would you tell us about your experience with the Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans?
Lyra: Oh well, ever since my chilhood, I've loved those! They always have me by surprise with the variety of flavours. Well, I couldn't say all surprises are good like that one night I got a rotten-
Carolina: -Right, right. We know about that one! Since when did you know about those?
Lyra: Since when? You got to be kidding me, Lina! Ever since I could remember! It was great to have mum and dad always bring it for me as a child. Now I could just give Hogsmeade a visit and buy them for myself.
Carolina: Oh well, wish I could say the same, Ly. What's your favourite flavour and when had you tasted that one?
Lyra: Erm, I think it was the bitter-sweet one I'd got at gran's place. I could say, it was heaven. We were all singing christmas carols and seven years old just sat there eating these. I could still recall the taste of it.
Carolina: Wow, that does sound like a memory to preserve. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
This is it for today. As much as tempting and delicious they are, you can find unexpected flavours as well. If you want to be featured in the next blog, owl me for an interview. Don't forget to comment down your opinions and experiences!
