Which of course, was that silly fat freaky looking bird. What a joke!

Closing the book and setting it back on the shelf, she turned to look back at the worker. "Actually, you could." She flashed a cunning & wolfish grin. After all, she did come in this shop to well.. shop. "Could you get me one Beaters Bat & a Quaffle?" The last time she had practiced with her father, the bludger went haywire and destroyed her bat. Now that she was here she might as well get a new one. Taking a moment, she looked at the nearest shelf and picked up a copy of Quidditch International Magazine. "Oh, and also your latest broom. The Twigger 101." Wait.. she needed a permission slip for that, right?

Putting a finger up, as if to pause the scene going on at that moment, she turned around and started to dig her long fingers into her rucksack, looking for the paper her father signed. He was busy finding some Rogue Wizard in Budapest. The things he did for that crazy Ministry, she though. Feeling it slip into her fingers, she pulled it out with a great wide grin. "My father couldn't be here, so I hope this consent form will do justice for me to get the broom." She handed out the folded and crumpled paper to the shop keep.
With all of the girls items in toe, she led her up through the shop to the gleaming mahogany counter, laden with cookies, magazines, business cards, and newspaper clippings. As she wrapped up the purchases, Maggie said, "Altogether that's going to come to 13 Galleons, 15 Sickles, and 5 Knuts, if you please."
