Oh, well.

"Hello, mister...I actually think you could be of great help today" he smiled, apparently this was the only shopkeeper that could help him, right? "See, I'm looking for a book, it's supposed to be very old, a Professor lend it to me once...but I had to give it back, see? And I want my own copy" yes, the little boy nodded, and he was going to skip the part of the other Professor making the temporary copy of the book in case he got in trouble for it.

But the Huffie boy forgot to tell the most important part. The title of the book. Yes, the little ringer got him sidetracked as Treyen stopped to look at the little bell, "This looks muggle, I like it" he smiled.

"Right, well... you came to the right place if you want an old book," Daniel chuckled, and leaned forwards to rest on his elbows. The young man humoured the boy for a while, when it came to the bell, and hit it with his palm twice, making it sound like a bus thingie. DINGDING! "Yeah, I got it from this really cool muggle vintage shop. I liked it too... so I brought it."

Anyway, moving on.

"This book you wanted... what was it called?"

Ina opened her mouth, gaped, then shut it and hid her face behind her fortunately long hair -- like a curtain. Or something.

Oh man, she couldn't do this. She couldn't ask -- no, no, no. "I--" Aaah! Nooo, too shy, waaay too shy. Hide now, hide behind hair! Yes, the shopkeeper couldn't see her behind her hair!

Right?

Catching sight of a girl, Daniel looked curiously at her face.

Well... her hair, since it was all up in her grill. "Errr... can I help you?" Daniel asked kindly, keeping his voice soft. Yeah... she seemed shy.

"Ahh, very good. That'll be 2 sickles then," Daniel smiled, till open, ready for him to set the money in.

"I have an English to German dictonary here." she said. She had always wanted to learn German, but never had the time. She was fluent in Italian. "How much do I owe you?" she asked. "Gratzi." she said, quietly. She hardly ever spoke Italian anymore, and, living in England, nobody speaks the beautiful langauge.

"I also have this." she said, pulling out a copy of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and pushing it on the counter towards him. The play was always very close to her. After all, she had played Viola in the play, and her mum was very proud. This was the first play she had acted in after her brother died. She started to tear up, thinking of him, but she wiped her eyes quickly, not wanting the shop keeper to notice.

"Okay, so we haaaaave... a dictionary aaaaand... well, I'll count that as a novel, just because... so that'll be 7 sickles altogether," Daniel calculated, and looked at the girl, pretending he didn't notice her wiping her eyes. It would be unprofessional to point it out.

IN actuality, he didn't care at all about the authenticty of this book. He just wanted to talk to the man. WHen he had laid the book down in front his the clerk, Herod started to talk to him. "So....how long have you worked here? You look very busy....do you have an assitistant?" he asked nonchalatnly.

ooc :: you'll have to tell me what you picked out in your narration or something

"Verify its authenticity?" Daniel asked, looking perplexed. He managed to crack a small smile as he glanced at the tome. "Yep... it's definitely a book."

Ugh, verifying it was effort. "In what way do you want it verified?"

Listening to the man's questions, Daniel wait for him to be done before answering. "Well... I've worked in Diagon Alley for just over a year... but I've had this place for a couple of months. And no, it's just me in here."

She liked this store. It wasn't that she didn't have the money for new books, she just liked old things. Books like the ones she'd picked up, they had character. She also liked that sometimes she could find things the previous owner had left behind: a personalized bookmark, a small note in the margin, scribbles or drawings on the pages. So she had gone to the Third-hand bookstore. And here she was.

Returning the smile to the young girl, Daniel started to ring up her books, placing them into a large bag with a string handle as he did. This was actually the largest collective purchase he'd had so far.

"Okay, so that'll be 2 galleons 5 sickes and 3 knuts altogether," he informed her, standing the bag up for her to take and waiting for payment.
