It seems as though Hogwarts isn't the only place where things seem... unusual.

"Things are things," he answered, cryptically as usual. "Got some customers in, askin' bout th' coupons." He nodded toward the stack on her own counter. "And," Saul leaned in for this part, "I been hearin' some whispers 'bout th' other shopkeeps in town." He gave her a serious look, waitin' to see if she'd take the bait on that bit 'o gossip.

Peering down at her own coupons stack she nodded "So have I but not that many seem interested in using the discount." Which in itself was a little weird but it wasn't her problem.
When Saul leaned in closer to mention the whispers about the other shopkeepers in town Emerald's curiosity spiked. Nodding she said seriously. "I've heard the whispers too. Do you think there is any truth to them?" Seriously how could a teenage girl if the whispers were true be allowed to run a shop in Hogsmeade?
The shopkeepers in Hogsmeade seem to be a bit concerned about these rumors..
So it appears as though one of shop keepers has found the secret to... combating grey hair???

He nodded slowly as she seemed to agree. "I can definitely see th' truth in 'em," he murmured darkly. "She ain't got a gray hair on 'er head. And that shop--- Merlin, waddit it established in 1768? How's she even runnin' such a place!" Saul was just bewildered by the gossip he'd heard. Things weren't adding up... and he wasn't just talking about numbers.
Sliding down the counter a little as a girl stepped up to pay, Saul respectfully tipped his hat at the child and zipped his lips. Didn't want ter be overheard. Hogsmeaders supported Hogsmeaders, fer the most part.
