"Ashwinder eggs! Ashwinder eggs for sale!"

Business was certainly slow but Ella didn't lose hope. She also was still wearing a smile because she got to be in Hogsmeade...as part of a homework assignment. Grin. How cool was that? It was also cool that she'd get to keep whatever she earned so she really wanted to lure some customers over to her.

The blonde was prepared to use the puppy-dog eyes if necessary, okay? They always worked on Alec so why not?

Just then, an older looking man approached where she stood and the blonde observed him curiously. His attention was on the jars she had in front of her so Ella was able to take him in. The dude wore a long dark coat and a extremely interesting top hat. He was like some evil character out of a movie with his outfit and curiously long mustache. The blonde immediately wanted him to buy eggs from her. It'd be her challenge and yes, it was accepted. "Hello there, Sir. Interested in buying some eggs today?" BEAM.

"How much for a jar?" The man grunted, his voice hoarse and his eyebrows raised. He wasn't particularly fond of small talk or the way the young blonde was smiling at him. The man disliked children, especially smiley ones.

Uhhh...unfriendly dude was unfriendly. Ella's smile faded as she watched his body language, guessing he wasn't in the mood for her little cheerful speech on how much his purchase would benefit the students of Hogwarts and how much she'd appreciate his business. Instead she said, "Five galleons for a jar, Sir." And she avoided eye contact with him, pretending to be busy arranging the jars in front of her.

Five galleons was a fair price. The man had expected the child to try and rip him off but really, she was being quite level-headed about pricing her merchandise. He considered it for a moment or two before grumbling. "I'll take a jar." And he shoved the money out towards her. She should take it now before he changed his mind.

He was going to buy a jar! REALLY?! Ella tried really hard not to look too excited and casually picked up a jar, handing it over to him. She then gingerly took his money and chanced a glance at him. "Thank you for your bu-"

...But he was gone.
