Frowning, Jake stared over at Ross. "C'mon, we should be doing this as a team," he pointed out. "This is people's grades we're talking about..."

Geez, there's plenty of people he could exchange for, Jake thought slightly bitterly.

Sounded simple enough. After that, who knew? It all seemed a bit mysterious really.

Approaching the people that seemed to be doing the exchanging, Nia looked for an exchange rate. She couldn't see one, and was sure exchange rates changed so what they used before wouldn't be right. She'd have to trust that they would get it right. On the plus side, there was no sign about taking commission (at least she thought that was was the cut the banks took was called), so she wouldn't have to worry about that.

"Hi," she said softly, to a money-exchanger that was free. "I'd like this changed to US dollars please." She counted what she had onto the counter. "100 galleons." She flicked her blonde hair back. "I'm assuming there's no commission charged?" she asked. She knew it was best to check -some places charged horrendous commission for foreign currency, and it could be worth an extra mark...

Haha, a second year, time to pounce like the lion he wasn't. "Hey," he grinned. "Nope, we just exchange it," he explained, pulling out a $500 dollar bundle and handing it over, taking in the wizarding currency. "Five hundred dollars there... Use it well, good luck!"

Smiling, Jake passed the five hundred dollars to the girl and nodded as he took the galleons in. "Five hundred American dollars," he explained, looking back up. "Good luck."
