"They should make them more noticeable!" whined the young lady using her hands to press her hair back before slipping the headband on, meticulously pushing it back assuring herself that no hair was out of place. "Have an entire wall of them!" declared the stout Gryffindor gathering up her hair to wrap a band around it, forming a low sideways ponytail. It didn't occur to Daphne that not everyone was interested in purchasing fancy pretty ribbons.
Turning around as she felt someone tap her, Daphne stared wide-eyed at the selection of ribbons Celandine was pointing out to her. "Ohhh!" she cooed, inching forward. "They're much prettier than I expected," declared Miss Hopton one hand flying to her chest. "I really like this mint colored one," murmured Daphne turning to look over her shoulder at Cel. "I think it'll look good on you. Well...come here!" exclaimed Daphne finally tugging on Cela's hand.
"They are." Cela agreed before allowing Daphne to tug her over to the display, "Mint." Candies. Mint flavoured candies. Nom. "It's pretty." Celandine agreed, tentatively reaching out a finger and stroking the ribbon, "Do you like the satin or the velvet?" Cela asked, transferring her finger to stroke one of each variety, including a rather frightening lurid orange number that Cela wouldn't wear but found intriguing anyhow.
