Eliza was really excited about this Hogsmeade trip. She'd even drawn up a little sign to hopefully help her sell her Ashwinder eggs. Since there were a lot of students in the class and only so many shoppers...it only made sense to draw attention to herself. She wanted to earn some money for school and maybe, if she made enough, she could start saving for a kneazle!

Now for the hard part. Speaking loudly and trying to get people to pay attention to you. Here goes nothing, she thought.

"Ashwinder Eeeggggs! Come and get them!" She looked around the rows of tables, hoping to be noticed. "Just hatched the other day! Great for potions!"

A tall, thin man slowly approached the tables, perusing the students' wares. His hands in his pockets, he did not seem to be ready to buy anything.

Maybe with some coaxing, he might? she thought and put on a big smile. "Hello sir! Would you like to buy some Ashwinder Eggs? They're really great for potions and curing ague. Not that you look ill, but you can never be too safe, right?" She grinned and held a jar up for him to inspect.

He chuckled at her poor salesmanship. Feeling sorry for her, he took the jar and looked at the eggs. "These look very fresh indeed." He turned the jar over in his slender hands. Surely he could find a use for these eggs eventually. They were frozen after all, or immobilized rather. "How much are they, Miss?" he asked kindly.

He was starting to look interested. Maybe he'll really buy some!! She watched him look at the jar, the eggs tumbling on top of each other inside. "Oh! How much? Well, sir, how does..." She was going to quote him the full five, but he was so nice, she decided to lower it. "Four galleons?"

The man turned them over once more and raised them with a shake, to show he'd take them. The girl's price wasn't too high, and he could spare a few coins today. "That sounds perfect, Miss. Thank you very much." He counted out the coins and sat them on her table. "You take care now," he said in parting, smiled at her, and went on is way.

Her first sale. I did it! Someone really bought these things! Awesome! She smiled brightly back at him and waited to scoop up the money until he had passed along. "Thank you very much!" she said to him as he turned to leave.
