Next would be a grand tour of Red London soaking up the flowery scents of magic. I’d definitely do a day date to Hogmeade to explore the town and a dinner at the Poison Kitchen from Daughter of Smoke and Bone sounds divine. Obviously a date filled with sweets is always wonderful so ice cream from Meade Creamery in Stay Sweet fits perfectly.
