"It would appear you win a gift certificate to a shop," Nigel revealed, placing the bowl, plimpy and all back in place and retrieving said prize from his stash. "Here you are," he added, offering it over.

That was one customer down...or at least a ball. Any more?

Airey was bouncing in anticipation....but tried not to let his face fall too noticeably when he saw that his prize was just a regular run of the mill gift certificate. He had been hoping for something big and bulky. The sort of thing that one looked ridiculous walking around with because of its size. Maybe he could go buy a new tie with this...or some supplies for the lab since things were still lacking there with his tight budget.

Still no telescopes either. Sigh.

"Oh, um, thanks," he said as he took the certificate and pocketed in in his breast pocket.

Note to self not to go for a red plimpy again...or maybe yes since galleons were tight and his wallet was cold.

ANYWAY YES.

Toby grinned at the professor. He was about to introduce the girl to him, before realising he didn't actually know her name. It was the kind of important information necessary when doing introductions.

So, he just... skipped that bit. Tobias couldn't answer for the girl, but he could certainly answer for himself. "I might do. It looks fun!" And not overly expensive either. "Is it difficult to win?" Not that it mattered, given that Tobias was a DEFINITE advocate of the whole 'it's the taking part that counts' saying.

Eyeing the remaining bowls and wondering which one to try for next, he turned his attention to the Hufflepuff boy and chuckled. "100 percent of opportunities not taken are missed," he said with a quick tap on his nose. Truth. He tossed one of his ping pong balls in his hand idly for a few seconds before offering it to Mr. Tempus. "Simple mathematics and science really," he said, offering the ball with a bit more enthusiasm now. "I recommend you toss it underhand and wait for the wind to die down first."

Yes, this WAS his roundabout way of letting you use one of his balls.
