So when she heard the price of her items - 18 Galleons, 8 Sickles, and 7 Knuts - she knew she'd spent nearly £100. Ah well, it was her favourite shop after all... Launna tipped the contents of her purse onto the counter and counted out the right amounts of gleaming gold galleons, sparkling silver sickles and bright bronze knuts. 'Sorry about that,' she apologised awkwardly to the shopkeeper, handing over the money. What's wrong with a good old muggle shopping till? she thought to herself. Launna watched as, with expert skill , the shopkeeper deftly wrapped up the items and pushed them across the counter to her. She squeezed the bundle into her bag and then attempted to pick it up. And failed. 'Um...' she looked up at the shopkeeper. She wondered if there was some sort of charm she could use to make the load lighter. 'Could you help me here please?'
Help her? Help her what? Helena sure wasn't a caddy for all the kids who came through here.
"Uhh, do you want another bag?" she asked uncertainly. What else was she supposed to do? Geez, oh man.

In the end she picked up ‘Bludgers and Broomsticks’ and ‘Quidditch World’, and walked up to the counter.
“How much will this be?”
"13 Sickles and 21 Knuts," Helena said with a smile as she put the two magazines in a bag for the girl and passed them back across the counter to her.
