Here, the look on the Arithmancy Professor's face. That was one of the main reasons he had been hesitating to tell anyone. But what had been done was done anyway. So, just avoiding eye contact, he silently nodded at her words.

Budgeting...well...

''Yes, i kinda tried that. But my uncle is a muggle so he gives me muggle money in exchange of my labour.'' Not to mention that he didn't pay extra for making him deal with all the dirty stuff or for those that required lots of his strength and energy. ''So it's hard to be into some budgeting and plan things when the stuff i need to buy require wizarding money.'' Negotiation did not sound like a bad idea. However it was risky for he was not sure if any shopkeeper would negotiate with him about anything. He had a short temper so he might...maybe...punch the man in the face for saying something stupid or refusing and never get a single thing ever. ''I think...i can try that.'' he said though, reconsidering the idea. Maybe he could hold the temper and try to act civilised.

Then, there was that idea of asking a graduating student to purchase his/her books. That was not a bad idea either. Well...a good one to be honest. Simon would give him his books, Josh supposed yet...on the other hand Simon was a bookworm what if he wanted to read them over and over and over again? Plus him asking for the seventh year books would surely lead him to be attacked with questions that he probably would not like to answer. ''Ummm...do you know any graduating student who would give the books and would not ask any questions about it?'' And preferably one Josh did not hate.
