The sixth year beamed at the girl. He figured he needed to try and act happy happy and she would want to buy his eggs. They were the best eggs ever. Although they were the same as everyone elses, so probably didn't stand out too much. He smiled at her.
"Would you like to buy some ashwinder eggs?" He murmured, with a smile, picking up one of the jars, and holding it in his hand. She could take a lot if he wanted. "5 galleons for a jar." So it wasn't that bad of a deal really. Come on laddy. Trying to earn a living here. Or you know. Get some money so he could eat and sleep. "HI!" Again! Marci moved closer to the boy and flashed him a smile of rainbows and fluffy clouds and happy. "Ashwinder eggs? I think I can add an egg or two to my collection. I bet I can get Mrs. Ali to use them in her beauty products, I just wouldn't want which product she would use them in. It's sort of disturbing to look at. Did you try using dark jars for those instead of glass ones? I bet it'd draw more customers this way. I mean, if Papa didn't point out that you're his students, I wouldn't have stopped. OH! You can tie a ribbon around each jar! The kids will love it and nag their parents to get them Ashwinder eggs even if they don't know what it's for. Oh wait a minute, what did you just say?" There was no stop button anywhere, the blonde just continued talking and grabbing one of the jars in the process. "FIVE galleons per egg? What am I buying? An Ellsberry kit?" That was for MUCH MUCH more than 5 galleons but a boy wouldn't know. Unless he wore make up and cared for his... beauty. "But for the sake of your school, I will pay. I actually just had my coins traded in the bank. One would think you won't need your parents' help once you get a job. Big. Lie. Ever. What will seventy galleons a month do to me? You see these boots? They're more than fifty galleons. I don't shop at troll's place for fashion." SNORT. She handed the boy five galleons and waved goodbye. "It was really a pleasure to meet you! I know I haven't introduced myself or my name but I'm sure you don't care. As a vendor, your job is just buying things. And studying in a bankrupt school. I totally get it. But just in case you were curious, my name is Marci. I really wish you luck in your further sales. Try the ribbon thing and dark jar." One last flashing smile and then she skipped away to another table. Quote:

He made his way over to West, because of course, but he was already taken by Dylan. Oh. Theo made a sulky face, then set up a table all on his own. Jealous much? The Slytherin laid out his jar filled with three eggs on the table then paused for a moment to think about how he was going to position it all.
How did everyone have customers already?????!
He pulled out his homemade sign from his bag and laid it upright so that it faced the crowd. 15 sickles each seemed reasonable, since he knew they were more expensive than that in the shops. So obviously, people would go to him for a cheaper deal. See? Theo knew things. He felt a little awkward about shouting at people walking past, so he just stood up straight and beamed at everyone, casually pointing to his sign whenever anyone looked over. MERLIN'S. FLASHY. BELT. She was robbed!
More importantly, though, the boy apparently was either mute or overly quiet! He was not shouting!promoting his eggs but merely pointing at a ghastly looking sign. Marci couldn't imagine anything more horrible than being MUTE. Unable to speak! She stood right in front of the boy and dramatically put a hand to her chest, "Let me just say, holy Merlin's Beard! I do not even begin to imagine the distress you must be in. It's so sad! I kind of understand though. Once Stephanie, she's my best friend but kind of sassy and spoiled but I still love her to bits - anyways, she went ahead and put a silencing charm on ME. Me! For an entire half an hour I was completely silence and it was just torture!" She groaned and leaned closer toward the boy. "I found my wand soon and lifted the spell, though. I didn't understand why she would do such a thing. She does really wicked stunts sometimes, I don't understand her. Like this time when she borrowed my beret and ruined it then claimed to have never borrowed it? HEH. I mean, what did she think? That I don't keep a record of who borrowed what from my wardrobe? I have it locked and concealed behind a wall in my papa's mansion for a reason! It's why I couldn't wear it to my weekend with Papa today. I had to go with the casual outfit and dump the French touch. My Papa doesn't mind, he's a sweet old man. He was actually here just a minute ago." Marci looked around and saw Botros at the eeeeeend of the line, pretending to be interested in a wall crack. Hmmm. Weird man. "Is it true though?" She said after three seconds. "Only fifteen Sickles? Are you kidding? That boy just sold it for me for five galleons. Aren't you two from the same school? Are your eggs smaller than his? Tell you what, give me a jar. I'll pay one galleon for it. I don't mind. You deserve this one galleon. Your hair is nice and it goes with your pale complexion. I work in Madam Malkins, I know those stuff. I would say green would look the best on you. Try the French painter look one day, the girls will just swoon. I know these things!" She giggled and handed him a galleon and was about to open her mouth once again... |
