A few moments later she shouted "Merlin's polka-dot underwear!!" She returned with a telescope, an hourglass, and a huge smile. "Check this out! You had exactly the telescope I wanted!" Sure enough, the telescope was a wide cylinder and dark blue. On it was an exact replica of the night sky for whatever date and location one happened to be in. "Isn't it brilliant?" she breathed.

Then she placed the hourglass on the table. She'd found one with colors close enough to match her idea. This hourglass was shaped like a fountain, the dark purple sand flowing over the three levels of petaled platforms before falling to the bottom. The fountain itself was made of blown glass (charmed to make it unbreakable, thank Merlin), the colors a swirling mixture of aqua and purple. She couldn't stop staring at it- it was one of the most beautiful things she'd ever seen.

"They're both so perfect," she smiled, gazing dreamily at the two instruments. Thank you so much for holding my things- I'm definitely ready now. How much will it be, please?"

"Fifteen galleons...and twelve sickles..." Adelyn counted out each coin accordingly, and then handed them to the shopkeeper. Before taking her purchases, she smiled at the woman, and said, "Thank you!" Then left the shop.
