Oh, goodness. This was going to take a lot of totaling, hmmm? Helena started on before the girl and her mother even got to the counter, soon enough so that, once she had wrapped the last item, she said, "18 Galleons, 11 Knuts, if you please!" Phew! Rough first day.

Ooooh, lookeh - Helena was already getting better than this. "It's quite alright, dear," she said with a smile at the girl's running of the mouth. Something small panged withing her. "That's 11 Galeons, 6 Sickles, and 26 Knuts, please," Helena said when everything was ready and packaged.

Ronnie's eyes popped. 18 galleons 11 knuts?! But her mother looked pretty calm about it. "Alright." she said, handing the lady eighteen galleons and eleven knuts. "There we go!" Marie said smiling. Ronnie's eyes rested on the broom. Wow. The Twigger 101! Marie looked down at Ronnie and smiled. What a birthday this was so far!
