The blonde had no idea how it had happened, Cecelia growing up so quickly and with a confidence that both delighted and scared the living daylights out of her mom. She could swear the kid had been three just yesterday and running around the house after the dogs, giggling in girlish delight, and now she was talking about Hogwarts and being on her own and just no. What did you even get a ten year old for her birthday? What had she wanted back when she was ten? Something told her gummy worms and an elephant stuffy weren't going to cut it for her kid.

...Ella needed help.

Heading into Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, lured by the huge sign and the promise of assistance where gifts were concerned, the former Hufflepuff marched straight over to the counter and offered the woman behind it a tired smile. "Please tell me you know something about gifts for ten year old girls." Please.

Busying herself with the things she had been putting off for a while, Galilea was at the counter putting order forms into envelopes and stamps onto packages that she needed to take to the post office later. The individual orders for fireworks had been a hit already and as the competition advanced, they were becoming more and more frequent. She was happy with the progress of it and glad that the idea had worked well. Looking up when the bell over the door went, she was ready for the customer but surprised when she came straight for the counter.

Yikes.

This looked like a woman on a mission. She tucked the envelopes and address forms underneath the counter and out of sight and even hid the betting form under it all. She was an adult. She could put some money on a score if she wanted to. "I sure can try! What does she like?" The truth was, she knew more about gifts for boys.
