Roxy blinked, confusion was clear on her face. How did the girl in front of her have time to actually calculate the total of her prices? Had the line up been that long? Or maybe she had just taken so much time? That was bad, clearly the Assistant would have be be quicker. "Ahh sorry for taking so long. You must be really good with math. Let me just double check that." Roxy gave a bright smile to the girl and turned back to the cash. Her eyes fell upon one of the items on the counter and a frown appeared on her face.

"Sorry dear, we don't sell Invisibility Cloaks to anyone under the legal age." She had to be 17. Shame. Picking up the cloak Roxy folded it and put it under the counter. "I'm sorry about that kid. Your new total is 19 galleons solid." There probably would be a lot of first years coming in wanting invisibility cloaks.

Roxy laughed. Back again? This store was obviously popular. "No problem. You must be the nice twin if you're buying all the stuff." She was only joking of course. And she had remembered to get the items! Roxy smiled with pride! Kids weren't so hard to get through to. She had added up the total too? Oh no, another child who wanted an invisible cloak. "I'm sorry kid, but we don't sell Invisibility Cloaks to anyone under 17." She felt so bad! Like she was crushing all the little kid's dreams!

Roxy flicked her wrist and folded the Invisibility cloaks back up and floated them (along with the one under the counter) over back toward their spots on the shelf. "That will be 21 galleons, 8 sickles and 28 knuts."

Putting the money in the register she shook her head. "Don't be silly. Everyone get scared about getting lost at Hogwarts. You just have to pay attention and keep an eye open." Yeah, it was harder to think about before they even started but....Roxy knew a think or two about it. "Trust me. In no time you'll know that castle like it's the back of your hand."

Roxy accepted the money, with a grin at the girl. "Well I hope you continue, to enjoy your day. Come back anytime now." She said happily.

Selina smiled at the lady behind the counter. She felt quite foolish for forgetting that invisibility cloaks were for adults. Surely her mother had mentioned that to her in a previous conversation in preparation for her Diagon Alley outing alone.
"Right, of course you can't sell it to me. Thinking about it, why would you give a child an extremely dangerous magical article? You wouldn't."
With that Silena slid her final purchases into her expansion charmed bag and put her wallet away with the change the lady had returned to her from her previous slip up.
Chest fallen Selina left for the door, then suddenly turned back around.
"When I turn 17 can you have one waiting for me at the counter please? It's kind of a dream of mine to have one."
