The Apothecary Shop, Dreamless Sleep (Closed To Cedric Diggory)

Paris had another nightmare, a bad one too. Graphic and violent, it make him wake up half screaming in a cold sweat. He rushed to the bathroom to splash cold water on his face. These dreams were getting bad enough that he was afraid to go to sleep

Cedric was sorting through a small box of charms when he heard the bell ring. Looking at the new arrival, he smiled.

"Welcome to The Apothecary. I'm Cedric, is there something with which I can help you?"

Dear sweet Aphrodite was everyone good looking in this town? "Paris of Troy." He smiled, looking a bit more at home here than in most shops in town. "I was recommended some potion to take away the bad dreams?" He picked up a green bottle and studied it, the smell was repulsive and so he put it back.

"Oh, don't get that one, it'll just take away your appetite." Cedric said chuckling.

"We do have the thing, though." The Hufflepuff came around from the counter, selecting a small bottle of purple liquid and offering it to Paris. "This is our Potion of Dreamless Sleep - one of our more popular items, really. It works very well, though you shouldn't use it for more than two or three nights in a row."

"Paris of Troy, you say?" Cedric paused, thinking the name was familiar, apart from the obvious reason. "Let me check, but I think we've a parcel for you."

He moved back around behind the counter, checking cabinets. "Have you been in the village for long?"

"Yes, that green one does smell something awful. For dieters?" Paris asked.

"Two or three nights of dreamless sleep will be nice." The Trojan prince said with some relief, clutching the bottle as if it were something precious. "I've been here a few months. Yourself?"

What Cedric said next surprised him, "What? I have a parcel?" He raised an eyebrow, who would send him a package? "May I see it?"
