Part of the chocolate design, I think.” Which, YES, freaked him out to no end. “D’ya accept special orders?” They’re talking business now, no? And this’ll be good for good ol’ cousin Cutty.
Now…THAT is a good move. “Yeah, keep ‘em Maltesers in stock, and I’ll be your regular customer.” Who else in the whole castle sells muggle goodness like those malt balls, right? A thumbs up for Cutty, and Ethan continued to fill his mouth with the chocolatey goodness.
Chew. Chew. COUGH.
Ethan squinted and slammed his fist against his chest. Merlin, what exactly is going on right now? This week is going to be all about his family, isn’t it? He just had a very honest conversation with Culloden yesterday regarding his real dad, and now Cutty’s here telling him about not meeting his grandparents on his father’s side. No, not just grandparents, but real grandparents. MERLIN. And…did he know that he only met his real gramps and gran-gran, like…three years ago? When the truth was revealed to him? Ethan just stared back at the boy, as the idea of being related to Cutty played inside his head. What if…what if his grandparents were his grandparents too? He needed to know…stuff. “Have you asked…your father about it?” Oh yes, he was pulling a Culloden line right there.
Oh and Egypt? “I’ve never been to Egypt. Mordred did years ago with his parents. Family vacation of some sort. I got the scarab chocolates as a gift.” But…enough about that. He wanted to know more about Cutty’s dad.
But...wait. Before anything else, those Smarties though...it looked...yummy. Never tried those...and so, "You wanna trade after?" he asked Simon, because, why not? Maltesers' good, and Simon definitely should try it. Mhm.
Did he accept special orders. Sure. For Alexa, Cassia and the like. But, at the rate Ethan was going Cutty well considered him the boy who would soon be prefect. It never hurt to start early. "
For as long as I'm supplied I'll do special orders. Not like I'll be gettin' anything new in with the flight of our owls." That meant Ethan could get his supply of Malteasers so long as Cutty hadn't run out. He'd be experimenting on duplication charms with muggle sweets. There were obvious reasons they didn't work on the magical ones.
"
I have, mate. Booht, he's not givin' me a straight answer 'tall. I think maybe he doosen't know 'imself." Or maybe he was ostracized for not using a family reunion as a perfectly good opportunity to pick up girls. "
Or he knows something he doosen't want me to know." He said as if he were getting a sudden epiphany about how to extract afore mentioned information.
Cutty caught the wee Ravenclaw boy out of the corner of his eye. A natural thief if he could actually manage to get his hand quickly past Cutty's own.

But by then the older boys were talking about stuff and Kyroh didn't really care. Not to be rude or anything. But nope. He didn't care. And he wasn't about say that he cared either because that would be lying and he'd much rather tell the truth about him not caring.
So instead of disturbing the older boys and their conversation Kyroh reached out and grabbed a boy of his favourite candy. Opening it he plopped one into his mouth.
...They were for free right? The prices the boy was listing were just suggestions....right?
The Slytherin was expressionless. Neither angry, nor excited for the theft of his product. Emotionally, he was still, but mentally he considered several ways to handle the situation.
He knew how this would be handled in Liverpool.
But this was not Liverpool.
He could use a butter fingers jinx on the box, or perhaps the boy's hands so that he couldn't hold onto it before he coughed over the money, which of course he wouldn't be able to do if he had slippery palms. But then he remembered Cassia Somerlad and with his hand on the little Ravenclaw's shoulder, Cutty did what he often did when he explained calmly, "
The Fizzing Whizzbees turn into bumblebees when a client doosen't pay up." And by bumblebees, he meant cockroaches. He held out his hand palm up. "
Four Sickles, please."

Here are 10 sickles for you, Mr. Shopkeeper," he said with a wide grin playing on his lips. If Cutty kept on getting a lot of customers, perhaps he'd have his own permanent store in Hogwarts by next term. And maybe Ethan, Kyroh, and him could all get discounts?
"
So how have you been, Cutty?"
With the smarties in hand, he couldn't wipe the grin off his face. Hehe. They were all HIS. All his to enjoy. Well they were until Ethan asked to trade him for some Maltesers. He eyed the Maltesers. They were alright candy- they weren't his favourite, but he'd be willing to trade a
few smarties for a few maltesers. They were roughly the same size so it seemed fair. "
Sure," he said and passed the cardboard box filled with the delicious smarties to Holmes.
"
There yew go, lads. Set up a trading standard, mix 'n match!" It was like free samples that didn't have to come out of his own pocket. He endorsed this. Aww, yiss.
"
Comme ci, comme ça." He said it like he meant it in response to Simon's question. "
How 'bout yaself? Have you met Tobias Tempus, yet? I swear that kid has yer exact face. " Or at least, Cutty thought so.
