Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite "Here you go, thanks for stopping by." She just gotten through selling another Ashwinder egg, just one, the person didn't seem all that impressed by the deal, didn't matter though because that was one whole jar sold! WOOT!! She beamed down at her 44 galleons she'd earned fair and square...almost. Technically, if you're dull enough to be suckered, you deserved it.
Sorry.
Okay...only slightly sorry.
Lex turned her attention to someone else that had walked up to the stall. Ummm..."Aren't you a bit too young to be walking through Hogsmeade alone?" The kid looked 7...maybe 8. Definitely not old enough to be able to afford an egg. "I'm here with my Mummy." The little girl looked to the new jar the girl put on the table. "What are those?" "These? Ashwinder eggs. They're super cool, you want one?" BEAM. "I do!!" The little girl was now bouncing. "Can I have one, What do they do??"
Er..."Sure you can, if you can pay 10 galleons! And um...they do anything you want really! Super fun these little things." Nodnodnod. "But I don't have that many..." She paused, her eyebrows knitting in concentration before she finally ran off and came back a few minutes later pulling on a woman she kept calling mummy. "This Mummy, this is what I want, can I have it? Pleeease?" When asked if she was sure the little girl nodded vigorously. "10 Galleons Mummy, please!"
Lex saw the look on the woman's face and quickly spoke up. "It's a Hogwarts initiative ma'am," because she wasn't going to tell her that only the students benefited from this either, "I suspect she'll be headed there one day, right?" And her face was perfectly pleasant. It remained that way too because slowly the woman reached into her bag and put ten galleons on the counter. "Here you go." She said, smiling down at the little girl and handing her the egg. "And thank you Ma'am."
She added the 10 to her existing pile then slinked them all into her small bag. Business was good today. Smirk.
