The Dervish & Banges shopkeeper was strollin' down th' streets of Hogsmeade, up early as usual, when he came across a differen' sort o' sight fer his olde eyes. Chillren, out standin' by a booth, sellin' somethin' for some strange reason. Wasn't it the shopkeeps' job ter be sellin' stuff ter the kiddos, and not th' other way around? Merlin's great big bushy beard! The school really was broke!
He stepped up to the table full o' kiddos, one hand already rootin' around in his back pocket fer his wallet. "How much-" Saul cleared his gravelly throat, "how much fer th' Ashwinder eggs?"
