You can't put a price on friendship, for instance, nor for the joy of finding a book you were finding. Perhaps that's why she thought this book's worth to be so little when it came to money, of course.

It was also worth a lifetime. A lifetime of achievements by the author. A lifetime of joy for the new owner.

"Thank you, Daniel, for helping me with the book," she said, while placing the book ever-so-carefully into her tote, "See you around," and she began walking away from Mr. Upstead. Oh, she needed to find out where Jake was and how he was doing. "Oh, and take care." There was a genuine smile on her face as she said this, because apparently things in Diagon Alley weren't that good? She was not letting Treyen come here alone. Her house-elf will tag along for sure.

And then she was out.

"You are very welcome," Daniel nodded, thankful that she was now being careful with the book. That was good... no more heart attacks for at least a few minutes. "You too... be careful," he added, which was now something he said whenever someone left.

That wasn't bad... was it?

...

Anyway, once the girl had gone, Daniel got to putting the books on their rightful shelves in the store.

Which basically meant she had to get the really cheap stuff, because she had virtually no money. Great. 'Just this lot, thanks,' she said to the shopkeep, with a weak attempt at a smile.

It hadn't been long since the evil dude had been in his shop, and Daniel felt a lot safer these days. Probably because the worst of the shock had worn off.

But the scar on his cheek still remained. It didn't totally mar his young features, but it annoyed him. He gave a friendly smile to the girl before him and rang up her purchases. "That'll be 2 galleons then, please. Would you like them all wrapped up and stuff? No extra charge."
