She reache into her bag and retrieved her purse. She clicked the fastenings and opened it, staring for a moment at the coins. She tried to remember which ones were which- she knew the big ones were galleons, but which were the sickles and knuts? She eventually handed him four galleons, deciding that was best, but also slightly upset at loosing yet more galleons from her purse. Xavier grinned at the child with a comforting grin. "There's nothing to worry about," he said. "Hogwarts has the best team of professors and I bet you ten Galleons they scared that wicked witch away last term," he winked. He's heard great things about the professors from his godson, but wasn't so sure of the Head position since their was going to be a new Headmaster/mistress.
Either way, he was pretty sure the new Head would take care of the students.
The curly haired wizard then took the four Galleons and and took out the proper change. "Your change will be eight sickles, little ma'am," he grinned, handing her the remaining wizard money. Text Cut: EvanescoEllee Quote:

He walked around the room picking up various items and then headed to the counter, taking his place in the line. He had collected about a pound of maple fudge, half a pound of milk chocolate and half a pound of dark chocolate fudge, a pound of white chocolate, a pound of nougat (and he fully planned on eating all of that in the next half an hour; he absolutely adored nougat), two giant gumballs, two packs of invisible gum, four packets of bertie botts every flavour beans, two chocolate frogs and three acid pops. And nobody was going to take it away from him. For once, his dad had no say in what he bought, and he was enjoying himself rather a lot. Woooweeee!
This kid was going to make his personal dentist riiiich! Of course, Xavier didn't say anything because, after all, his business was a sweet shop.
Instead, he grinned at the kid. "Got a bit of a sweet tooth there, don't you?" It was really nothing out of the ordinary because he's seen a more than a dozen kids already passed through with their arms full of sweets.
This was GREAT business, hehe!
After tallying everything up, Xavier looked back up that kid. "It'll be six Galleons, fifteen sickles and fifteen knuts, please." Dang, this made him remember his much, MUCH younger days where his mother would be running around, chasing him and scolding him for buying too many sweets. All the while, he'd run down the street, cackling to himself. Text Cut: GlassXRose Quote:

Kana had cut her hair over the summer, so it was no longer a fluffy mane of koolaid-red hair. Now it was chin-length and smoother. She was wearing a thin, longsleeved grey shirt that had the Ravenclaw crest on it. In one hand, she carried a canvas bag that contained items she had already purchased. She moved it to the bend of her elbow so that she could better carry all the... all the candy.
After a good ten or fifteen minutes of deciding, picking, and choosing, she approached the counter and set everything down. She had two packs of invisible gum, three packets of sour swirls, two boxes of licorice wands, five sugar quills (her favorite), four cockroach clusters, five fudge flies, and two jelly slugs.
Kana might've been thin, but she loved her sugar.
"Good afternoon," she nodded to the shopkeeper. Wait. He looked familliar. Kana tried not to stare as she reached for her back pocket to get her money. He just looked really, really familliar. And handsome. But mostly familliar. Another one with a sweet tooth. Xavier really liked the enthusiasm these kids showed for sweets. It made him feel like...like the Merlin of all sweet things in Diagon Alley, hehe.
"Hello, there," he grinned. "I hope you found everything alright." ...
...wait. She was staring. Why was she staring? Was it his natural good looks? His brilliant, charming smile? His shiny, smooth hair? His bright green eyes? Yeah, he got that a lot. *smug*
He expertly tallied everything up and looked back at the girl. "That'll be three Galleons, two sickles and twenty four Knuts, please." Seriously, kids were his best customers. Not like the greedy adults who were too "mature" for sweets. Pfft.

Ari continued to skip around the shop as she snatched her favorites off of the shelves. She licked her lips in anticipation as she grabbed a Box of Cherry-center Truffles, some of Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, two packets of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Bean, three Chocolate Frogs, and a box of Pumpkin Pasties. With her arms full, Ariella made her way towards the front counter to pay. She could practically taste the surgary sweets already... Ooooh!
This one was trying out his rarities and oddities. This one had guts and in return she received a bright smile from the shopkeeper.
"Great selection of sweets!" said Xavier. He tallied all the sweets together and turned to the girl once more. "It'll be two Galleons and fourteen Sickles, please."
