Penny wondered if this was the only quidditch shop in the country - she doubted she would trouble anywhere else...Considering she was 12yrs old now and stood at 5ft 4 inches and looked a lot older than she was...

This broom was supposed to be a treat - reward... Penny had been excited: now though, she just wanted to leave with her dad and go somewhere else - Her previous excitement dissipating quickly.

"Not necessary," Helena said with a smile as she wrapped the items and totaled them together on a piece of paper. Numbers had never quite been her thing. "That'll be 9 Galleons, 4 Sickles, and--- nope, that's it." Well, really it wasn't, but what was another half a Sickle?

Ronnie gaped. She then noticed her mouth was hanging open and she closed it. Yeesh, what if she wasn't even a Beater or Keeper? Oh well! Didn't matter, she could play with her brothers with all this! Her eyes boggled as her mum said "And I think that's it!" Ronnie was finally going to get a broom, since she was a second year

Oh, goodness. This was going to take a lot of totaling, hmmm? Helena started on before the girl and her mother even got to the counter, soon enough so that, once she had wrapped the last item, she said, "18 Galleons, 11 Knuts, if you please!" Phew! Rough first day.

They are buying me the firebolt for my 12th birthday even though it's not for another 3 more months. Aren't I lucky? I'm so sorry for blabbering. I'll keep quiet now so that you can tally up how much we owe you", she said meekly.

Ooooh, lookeh - Helena was already getting better than this. "It's quite alright, dear," she said with a smile at the girl's running of the mouth. Something small panged withing her. "That's 11 Galeons, 6 Sickles, and 26 Knuts, please," Helena said when everything was ready and packaged.
