31 galleons and 42 sickles for me. She brought out a coin and looked at it then at Mina, Who ever said money can't buy happiness, never had an obsession with candy.
Mina stifled a laugh. One piece a week? That had to be worse than none at all.
'I feel sorry for you,' she said sympathetically.
'Must be bad - you get a taste of something gorgeous and then aren't allowed any more.' Ooh, how horrid it must be! Mina was glad her mother had simply said "no more" and her uncle had tried (and failed) to enforce that.
She pulled a face, jerking her head back to the girl she'd glared at earlier.
'One of the two annoying cousins I was trying to escape from,' she explained.
'She's my uncle's daughter - one of them - and blabs to him about everything. If she follows me and sees what I'm doing, my uncle will find out and I'll be grounded again.' She winced.
'Last time it was because I snuck out after midnight - I got grounded for a month for trying to go to the twenty four hour store and get candy.'
She nodded vehemently.
'Very, very true.' She wrapped her hand fondly around the few loose coins at the very bottom of her bag - Muggle coins, but oh well. They could stay there.
'I'll find that person and bash their head against a stack of brought candy and tempt them to eat it. That'll make them regret it.' She giggled again.
