It was a Saturday. A Hogsmeade weekend at that they were going to sell Ashwinder eggs because Professor Barlow said that they could keep whatever profit they made. And really, she needed money. She had tons of things to save up for. Moreover, the turnstiles at the school were still standing and probably won't be gone for sometime soon. They required money.
So here she was. Acting all businesslike because she had a business to run.
Beezus ran a hand through her hair then cleared her throat. Time to get the party going....errr....business running.
"
Ashwinder eggs! Ashwinder eggs! Come on and buy some. You can use them for potions or even crack them on your heads!"
That last part wasn't really appropriate but hey...this was business. Rhyming words often caught them ol' customer's attention.
Well, come on then people....

Merlin's great big bushy beard! The school really was broke!
He stepped up to the table full o' kiddos, one hand already rootin' around in his back pocket fer his wallet. "How much-" Saul cleared his gravelly throat, "how much fer th' Ashwinder eggs?"
Oh. Hullo there Mister!
Lexa had snagged him first, she saw that. But.... "
Hello sir! Hello, hello. Would you like to buy a jar of Ashwinder eggs? I can give you two jars for 7 galleons."
Brows. Hey, that was still a lot of money.
SPOILER!!: Kurumi!

Which is precisely why she had come to Hogsmeade today: to see if she could run into a professor or two (or even the Headmistress) and ask if there was anything she could do to help.
And then she saw a tent will some of her former classmates...selling....ashwinder eggs? Hmmm. Lewis could probably use some of those for his stock.
"Hey guys," she smiled as wide as she could muster while approaching the tables. "How much are you selling for?"
And who's that girl?
She knew her. Of course, Beezus did. Duuuh. "
KURUMI!" Frantic waving here. The former Gryffindor Prefect looked....gorgeous! "
How are you? Why are you here? Don't you have classes? Oh...and I can sell one jar for you at four galleons. Do you want one?" Hehe. Maybe business was her calling or something. She was rather ecstatic about this.
