He picked a spot he thought of as ideal. He had the goods with him. Concealed by a well-placed charm upon his bag, out of which he was currently producing what looked a bit like a colourful translucent rubber snake. A gummy candy with many different flavours indicated by a colour-change as you ate your way up the snake-mold body. An import amongst many which included but was not limited to nougat and pistachio squares, and two types of chocolates; pyramids and little casted sphinxes. He had also gotten lucky that year and amongst Cutty's treasures to peddle were muggle sweets like malteasers and well known British and American brand chocolate bars.

The young snake would've liked to have taken up a position in the courtyard by this time of year (ideally), but as the weather outside remained ever the angry fist-shaker, Cutty Mordaunt abandoned that idea in favour of the other high-traffic area; the Entrance Hall.

"Sweeets! Foreign, domestics, muggle and magical." Like a funhouse barker, he advertised his wares. Though, it wasn't the only way he'd let the public know.
