Kelly nodded and payed the two Galleons. " Thank you!" she said as she grabed her books off of the counter. She was glad she finally got her books, and was ready to go home!
| Jude smiled as he accepted the galleons, nodding at the girl in a polite manner. "It's my pleasure. Have a nice day now. Enjoy your time at Hogwarts" he smiled as she left the shop. How polite these young children were.

"No thanks, I'm fine" Tyler lied shaking out his muscles. "Just the fourth year standard stuff. But I think this one's pretty banged up, odds i can get a discount?" Tyler said pointing to a very 'well loved' version of Modern Magical History that was 2 seconds from falling apart. Again, he felt the heavy pocket full of galleons but still thought the dramatically low price was too high
| The man raised his eyebrow at his response, it wasn't hard to distinguish lies, after all Jude had read many a book about it. But he let it slip, if he did not want to force anything on him after all. "Alright. If you are sure" he nodded. "Ah yes, yes of course. I shall charge you 3 knuts for that instead" he spoke, taking the book in his hand and waving his wand to make sure the binding didn't come undone before the boy even left the shop.

Arlo smiled at the man. He seemed really friendly, and had similar interests to him, such as reading. He liked this guy. "It is," he agreed with his statement. "But sometimes, to pronounce English words is strange," he laughed. Some words just looked nothing like how you would actually say them. Still, he'd get the hang of it eventually. Arlo grinned at the idea of a large library. It sounded like a lot of fun, exploring that and such. "I think I go to the library first!" he said with another grin. "Thanks," he said to him, taking his change and leaving with all of his bags.
| "Ah I know what you mean" he spoke winking. "I'm sure you've already picked up on the accent. I'm fully Irish, moved to England only recently" he said in his distinct accent. "It's no problem" he said as he took the money and put it into his money pouch. "Have a good time at Hogwarts, I'm sure you'll enjoy the Library" he chuckled as the child left.

Kennedy nodded slowly. He was definitely new, but this guys didn't seem so taken aback by that...like others. He managed to keep his nerves down as he waited for the clerk to return with a book, that'll hopefully help him out.
He took the booked and looked it over. "Um, I-I've heard of it," he said, not quite answering his question, but it didn't matter because there were more books where he could do his research.
"Thanks," he said, trully grateful. He shoved his hand inside his trouser pocket and searched for money. "H-How much do I owe you?" he asked.
| He was glad to help new people. But Jude worried that his suggestion wasn't quite what he was looking for. It was a common book after all, it was used often in History lessons and therefore it would be a necessity anyway.
"Are you sure you just want this one?" he asked tilting his head. "I mean, I fully recommend Magic for Beginners if you are a complete novice to the Wizarding World," which would probably be of more use to him. "It's great for explaining a lot of the confusing and wonderful attributes of this place. Give you a few basic spells to read up on and even explain details on what to do here" he explained.
"It's 6 sickles for the History of Magic" he stated. "An extra 4 sickles on top for the other" Seeing as it was classed as a research book.

"It's alright." Anna said watching her brother walk pass the window. "I'm smarter than him anyways." Anna said a bit bossily. Truth is her and her brother did get along quite well just they bickered here and there but so does almost every brother and sister. Anna was also way smarter than her brother and he knew that. She was more like her mother, booksmart with a photographic memory. Michael was similiar since he could wing tests but he was more like Anna's dad who'd rather live for today than plan for the future. "Oh I always would see that book when I would walk around bookstores when I was younger." Anna said talking about Fantastic Beats and where to find them. "Didn't catch my eye though. But I'm sure someday I will read it." Anna finished. Anna was more interested in learning defensive spells, learning how to defend herself, foreshadowing the future or learning how to apparate then learning about flobberworms and how much lettuce they can eat. "My favorite read, so far, would probably be Magic Abroad! or A Study in Dark Arts Anna said. "Magic Abroad! was mainly about the origins of the many wizarding schools around the world and also many historical events and witches and wizards from each." Anna explained. "A Study in Dark Arts was also very interesting but also very horrific. Some of the stories sent chills down my spine." Anna said with a shiver. "I'm going to Hogwarts this year." Anna said to change to subject. "Did you go there too?" Anna asked the shopkeeper.
| Jude chuckled at the young girls statement. "Ah I see. That's always the case isn't it?" he asked with a wink. The mature one was cleverer. Though to be honest, Dylan, although not Ravenclaw material and perhaps not as studious as Jude was, was still as mature as his older brother. "You'll need it for you CoMC lessons at school, its definitely a great help. I guess I liked every book, the Library was simply wonderful" a glisten came to his eye as he spoke. "Do you enjoy Muggle literature?" he asked leaning forward and lowering his voice a fracture. "There's a book, a number one best seller in the Muggle World. It's entitled 'Peace, Love and Magic' It didn't really hit off in the Wizarding world, I guess because a lot of it was considered reality. If you do give it a try, remember to bring it back here" he informed her and left it at that. "I did. Almost a decade ago now I left. Ravenclaw house" he chuckled. She obviously liked a good conversation.

Glenn handed him the money and then took into her arms her now miraculously light books. "I notice you have muggle books here," She said idly as she stuffed her purse back inside her pocket.
| "Thank you" Jude spoke as he accepted the money and shoved it away. That was an interesting question. One he wasn't often asked. "Yes I do. I grew up in the Muggle World, I like a little culture. Plus we tend to get a lot of Muggleborns through these doors, its nice to make them feel comfortable and accepted" he told her. |
