| Fortress of Brilliance ღ Mommy Quad It had been quite some time since she had last been in her shop, things had been changed here and there, some noticeable and some less so. The place appeared more chaotic to her than ever before, in a bad sort of way, products rearranged and nothing where she'd left it last, and though the lost time and clean up process ahead in more ways than one were certainly on her mind, Artemis couldn't have been happier to be home and where she belonged, in Diagon Alley with Brett and her friends, taking care of her shop alongside her trusty four-legged friend.
Exiting the backroom, Artie's navy blue eyes looked over the line of children waiting for her in front of the counter, bringing a growing smile to her lips as she quickly made her way to slip behind the counter. The great yellow labrador retriever followed faithfully by her side, tail wagging as they past several children. Quote:

1 pack of ton tounge tofees.
They knew their sister wouldn't be to pleased, but Lily said "you can't please everyone!" grinning! "Hello, dears. Did you find everything you were looking for?" Artie asked, offering a warm smile to the pair as she searched around a little bit behind her counter, looking for the bags. Those had been moved too, apparently. The half-Greek woman paused in her movements, standing still while observant eyes scanned her work area until she finally found them. "Sorry about that. Will this be all for you?" The shopkeeper added, returning to the two girls after collecting and moving the bags back to where they should have been, and bagging the items the young girls had set on the countertop. Once finished, Artie slid the bag toward them on the counter. "If so, that'll be 9 galleons, 5 sickles." Quote:

2 Balls of Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder. It was nice to see despite her absence, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes still seemed as popular and busy as ever. Brushing a lock of dark hair from her face, Artemis waved the next little customer forward. "Hello," she greeted with a bright smile, fishing out a bag and placing the items inside once they were set on the countertop for her, calculating the prices in her head as she went. She didn't fail to notice the instant darkness powder, which should have been in the back room rather than on shelves. Artie resisted a frown. She really had a lot of work ahead of her. But for now, back to the children waiting to buy their new toys and such. "Your total comes to 5 galleons and 14 sickles, unless there's something else you need?" Quote:

Will that be all?" as she bagged up the purchases, putting the Headless Hats in last. "That'll be 8 galleons and 8 sickles." Quote:

She didn't need anything fancy as she had quite a few cages at home anyways. She thought as she patiently waited in line for the shopkeeper.. "Hm.. Winky I think is a proper name for this guy." Yes, Winky it shall be! Just as she was about to pay.. She spotted some decoy detonators on a side display shelf... "You really shouldn't" Alice thought to herself as she was desperately trying to save her spare money for later.. But those detonators sure could come in handy. She decided to grab 3 for now as she knew she'd be back again soon for more Artie couldn't help but notice that so far, no one had brought up any pygmy puffs, which were usually selling so fast she should be concerned there weren't going to be any left in the pen by the end of the day. That is, until the next young girl approached the counter, holding one of the little furr creatures and a few other objects. "Hello," Artemis greeted, "How can I help you?" Quote:

The Pygmy Puff was brushing against her cheek softly so she giggled and took the Puff in her hand to think of a name. She would just call it Lavender. It was simple, yet it fit her furry little friend perfectly. She waited for the shopkeeper to call her to the counter. Quote:

Joining the queue, she couldn't help but admire the little guy... he really was very cute And two more. Artemis noted the young girls and their pygmy puffs, waving both children up to the counter, she offered a friendly smile. "Hello, girls. What can I do for you?" Quote:
Originally Posted by Firebolt2011 Natalie walked to the desk and put down what she wanted to buy, a box of fever fudge, a box of puking pastilles and a box of Guaranteed Ten-Second Pimple Vanisher. she blushed as she put that on the counter. "so how much is all of this?" she asked. The children seemed more quiet and shy than the last time she had actually been around to look after her shop, maybe because they were a new bunch of kids to Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, or maybe not. Artie wasn't entirely sure, but didn't really have a moment to be too overly concerned. Hopefully, though, if any of them became regular summer customers she would get them to warm up to seeing her.
Glancing over the counter at the thinning crowd, Artemis' dark, navy bleu eyes came back to rest on the young face in front of her, a gentle smile forming on her lips. "Your total comes to 2 galleon and 7 sickles," She answered, putting the boxes of gag sweets into a bag followed by the tube of pimple vanisher and sliding it over the counter to the young girl. Adding in a softer tone, referring to the last product that had caused the hint of pink in the child's face, "And I wouldn't worry about that so much. It's a normal part of growing up, you'll still be a pretty young girl with or without hiding that." Quote:

She daydreamed while waiting in line when she was busy looking around the lively store. "Hello there, come right up please," Artemis gestured for the next person waiting in line to approach the counter. "What can I do for you?" Quote:

Sure enough, half an hour or so later he had several things in his hands and had decided to head to the counter before he bought anything else.
He had a box of fainting fancies, a boy of fever fudge, a box of muggle magic tricks, three bags of hiccup sweets and two packs of extendible ears as he was sure he would end up losing them if he thought he needed them. He was now waiting to pay. "Hello young man," Artemis greeted warmly, waiting for him to set the items down on the counter before setting to work with putting it all into a bag. Pausing as she set the last bag of hiccup sweets inside, the brunette turned to scan the counter, grabbing her wand when she spotted it and giving the bag a light tap to lighten the weight. "Feather light," She commented with a smile, glancing back up at the young boy as she set the bag down in front of him. "That'll be 6 galleons and 4 sickles." Quote:

She placed the products on the counter, " Oh and could I get a Shield Cloak?" Feeling Jinx's head bump her hand, Artemis' attetion shifted onto the large dog sitting at her feet for a moment before returning to the young girl setting a couple of things down on the counter. "Hello," Artie replied in greeting, though a slightly puzzled look crossed her features at the question. Did she mean that as in, what did they do? What they were intended for? Or.. "Come again, dear? And sure thing, that'll come to 3 galleons and 6 sickles. I'll be right back with your sheild cloak," Using a bit of magic, the shopkeeper gave a little wave of her wand to enchant a bag to fill itself with the dungbombs and hiccup sweets while she quickly excused herself to retrieve an item from the back room, leaving Jinx, the large labrador retriever to watch from behind the counter.
