Fern's eyebrows shot up when Cuthbert named her price, but she quickly schooled them back down into an expression of contempt. Which wasn't too hard, because after she got over her surprise, she started to think about what an idiot Cuthbert was.

By saying Cuthbert wouldn't charge him a Galleon, Charlie had really been saying he would pay anything less than that. Which meant Cuthbert technically could have charged 16 sickles...although Fern didn't know if Charlie, as unintelligent as he appeared to be, would have actually gone for that. But certainly Cuthbert could have charged more than 2 SICKLES!!!

Really. It made her sick.

And now this was all starting to get boring. Fern shifted her stance, stretching out a leg that had started to cramp from all the standing in place.
