There were some small, tiny moments such as right now with the other girl's chuckle at his fright where he almost felt ... angry at Noah and his parents for not sharing this world with him before. Even if he hadn't been magic, he still would have wanted to learn. Hmph. "Well, I'm sure there has to be someone taller than us! Maybe the shop keeper?" And if the shopkeeper was also short, hopefully there was at least a step stool around.

"Picking something first sounds like a good idea. Then you can just tell the shop keeper what you want and they could grab all the ones you can't reach at one time!" And then ring her up and she would be good to go. "How many siblings do you have to buy for?" Noticed she said brother and sisters, but was curious how many that meant. "And how glad were you when you could finally talk to them again!?" He may or may not have cried a little, in private of course, when they finally got a letter from Noah again saying he was safe and would be home soon.

He didn't notice the look of understanding, as he was back to examining the shelves of candy again. Now he was kind of considering putting together a couple of backs of different treats for his sisters layered like a rainbow. He bet Lisa and Maya both would like that! But he didn't want to give them something gross, or too spicy or sour or something. So maybe he'd wait until he had gotten to try more things. Which... "I'd like to try everything eventually! I've only made it through a small portion so far, though. But I appreciate the suggestion on what to try next! I'll definitely get some of those for my stash!" He was a fan of sour gummy worms, so he assumed these would be good as well.

Having always grown up knowing about wizards, it was hard for her to really imagine what it might be like for someone to walk into Diagon Alley and know nothing about the wizarding world but what she did imagine was a whole lot of confusion. With a warm smile, she simply peered around, looking for some type of shop keeper but to her chagrin, no one was in sight. “Don’t worry, I’m sure we could…throw something up at the jars to hit them down?” . She wasn’t really being serious but it did amuse her to imagine the reaction they’d both receive. She knew that if she suggested it to Adam, he’d have done it by now but thankfully, he wasn’t here. Instead, she simply continued browsing the shelves for the Puckering Sour Swirls.

Briefly, her lower lip jutted out as he asked how glad she was to speak to her siblings again, her eyes now fully focused on the shelves in front of her. The real answer was that she missed them more than she could ever put into words! And not just because they were stuck in in school with no way to talk to her. She missed them every year they left her to go to school but this year had been particularly hard. No letters. No magical mirror talks at night whenever she had a question that needed answering. “I missed them a lot this year” she finally replied, her bottom lip now fully on show. [/B] “I’ll be glad to see them when they finally get home” [/B] and give them so many hugs they’d be sick of her! Doing her best not to tear up, she focused once again on searching the jars of sweets for something special.

“I guess you can have chocolate in the muggle world so let’s not get you any of that” . Sure, the chocolate here was nice but it just seemed so…boring. Stretching up on her tippy-toes for a moment, Ingrid peering into as many jars as she could, searching for something that looked interesting. [I]What would someone who’d never had anything here before like to try?]/I] Briefly, her mind flickered back to some of the first things she’d ever tried and a small smile spread across her face. “Why don’t you get some Drooble's Best Blowing Gum. You can make some massive bubbles with them!” and that jar wasn’t even close to the top! Even she could reach that one. Pulling one of the closest jars to her off the shelf, Ingrid pulled off the lid and offered the jar to the boy. “After this, we can get you some Fizzing Whizbees and Sugar Quills. You should be set for the whole summer then!”. Sure, his parents may not be happy he’d spent all of his gold on sweets and gum but at least he could eat it all while he was grounded in his room.
