Whoever had been in front of the counter, was gone now, and the substitute was a man who was matching her levels of excitement. "Well, of course, I buy toppings from Sugarplums as well as a muggle store for some variety." Well, that's a relief. She thought to herself starting to show off a beautiful smile. She was mouth-watering just imagining it in front of her. As for the muggle candies and chocolates, she wasn't much of a fan, but yes, her mom had taken her to some of those shops before in London.
Allie's eye widened as the man pulled up his wand and with a flick made her enormous ice cream cone materialize. "There you go sweetie." Holly Molly, this is heaven! She lifted her hands and grabbed it very carefully and before she could give the first lick she heard something her ears could not believe. "This one on the house." She froze with the tongue on the ice cream, straightened up, and frowning she said. I never got anything on the house! How come you're so nice? Thank you so so so much sir! You're really kind. Even though I don't know what I did to deserve it. Bye, now.
She left with her spirits even more lifted going towards the entrance of Gringots to meet her parents who should be about done picking up their money. Hey sweetie, how did that go? Wow, that ice cream is a work of art! said her mom giving her a hug while her dad cleaned up her full-of-ice-cream face with a flick of his wand. She told them all about Leo (except she didn't know his name) and felt extremely grown up and able to handle her own business at other shops as well. Can we go to Ollivanders now? Please, say yes... Well, not right now, right now Allie, but soon. Your mom and I will head towards some other shops to get your quills, parchments, ink bottles, cauldron, telescope, all that good stuff you find boring. Why don't you wait for us at the Quality Quidditch Supplies this time? We won't take long. her dad was the commander in chief of their home. Alright then, sounds like a plan. See you two in a bit. Don't worry too much about me. She smiled as they walked separate ways and continued to enjoy her ice cream a bit more carefully now. She didn't want to look like a walking sloppy mess.
