Not many people know this, but above a certain well-loved sweet shop in Hogsmeade, there appears to be a flat. And it is a flat, or at least, it was. When you head up the stairs at the rear of the building, and open the front door to said flat, you will see it open out into the most spacious, wonderful home you could ever imagine. Enchanted to be much larger inside than it appears from the street, Honeyduke House is magnificent inside. It puts the Hufflepuff common room to shame with it's level of comfort and homeliness. Potted plants line the windows inside and out, beautiful wallpapers hung on every wall. Quaint furniture that you can sink into, solid woods, the softest fabrics, a book nook that's so large it might as well be its own room. And the kitchen. Oh, the kitchen. Straight out of the Shire, it always smells incredible, the Honeyduke family always working on new recipes in their spare time, and cooking delicious meals each night.

Candy and Duke inherited the home and the shop below from Duke's father, who passed away a few years ago, though they already ran the place for him for many years before that. As well as looking after their twin daughters, Melody and Harmony. The girls were raised above the sweet shop in the beautiful family home, never wanting for anything, being taught that sweetness wasn't only for food. They were raised to be good, polite, well-mannered, selfless. They did really well as little ones, running around the shop floor when there was nobody to mind them, and giggling in the back whenever someone spotted them hiding behind the counter. They were beautiful children inside and out. And then one day Melody decided that she was fed up being adorable. It was tiring. She'd never been that good at it, honestly. She was a very blunt child, and as much as her mum and dad tried to stamp it out of her, she always managed to put her foot in it, and by the time she was nine years old, she realised that there was a name for how she felt. Stifled.

So she made the decision that she could still be a good person, but she could also be herself, without having to fake politeness when she didn't want to, or put other people before herself, because... what about her? What about Melody's needs, they were just as important as the next persons! Honestly, it was exhausting, and by the time she was able to make the very short trip down the road to Hogwarts, she was so pent up that she went a bit wild at first. She explored every inch of that castle, she spoke her truth at every opportunity, and she didn't be nice to people she didn't want to be nice to. And you know what? It was fine! Some people can say she's a bit rude when she walks away from a conversation she just doesn't want to be part of - it's boring, okay? - and she's not the best student at the castle. She gets extra tutoring and really does try her hardest, but brains were not dished out generously in her direction. She's a Hufflepuff, though she doesn't know why. The only reason she can think of is that she doesn't fit anywhere else. She's other. Which is... whatever. She has friends. A few. Some people find her hard to swallow, others find her refreshing. She finds herself refreshing. She joined the Quidditch Frog Choir last year, though apparently her singing wasn't up to par. She's having a go at Quidditch now, having recently became the new Hufflepuff Keeper.
