| | Wiseacres Counter When your shopping experience, or stay has come to an end, please make your way to the front of the shop, where the check out counter is located. Check out of your room, make your purchases, request gift wrapping, or direct general questions to the shopkeeper.
Once you leave the shop, you will find yourself on the South End of the Street. We hope you enjoyed your time in Wiseacres, and that you come again soon! OOC: Under no circumstances should you RP for the Shopkeeper. Wiseacres is a very large store, and I may be busy with another customer, please wait your turn patiently, everyone will get the proper amount of attention. Invisibility Cloaks, Flying carpets and timeturners will not be sold to underage children, and must go through Ministry clearance. The shopkeeper reserves the right to deny sale of any item she deems worthy.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Arlo Pecatti First Year | 0110100001101001
Arlo was starting to get the hang of wandering around the little magical street by himself. He still needed nearly everything on his list but he didn't really care too much. If all else failed, Silvestro would have to get the things for him when he had already gone to school. It was his fault it wouldn't have been bought already, considering that Arlo barely understood English, let alone how to buy things in English shops, or even what it was he needed for that matter.
Having wandered around yet another shop for quite a long time trying to work out what he needed, he headed to the counter with his arms full of things he thought he might have needed at some point. On his way around the shop, he had picked up a deck of self shuffling playing cards, a pack of exploding snap, a seven-lock trunk, an abacus (mostly because he just liked to play with them, more than because he would need one), a telescope, an hourglass (again, mostly just because he liked them), a magical camera and some spellotape. He had far too many things, really, but he did like to be prepared. He waited for his turn to come to pay, although he really had no idea how much all of this would come to. Sometimes, he liked having a rich parent that paid him to leave him alone. It was very useful when it came to schooling and needing new things.

Nataile put the telescope on the counter. "How much will it cost?" she asked, pulling out her money purse.

What big sellers they were today! Quote:

Arlo smiled at the shopkeeper, sticking his hand into his pocket and pulling out a handful of galleons, counting out 19. He put the remainder back into his pocket and took a handful of sickles out of another pocket, counting out 12 of those. He had actually expected his purchases to come to more than that but he wasn't bothered. He knew he needed to make his money last but he had a lot more on him than his brother realised. If he had known Arlo had this sort of money stashed away, it probably would all have been spent on drinks or something. "Is that right?" he asked the shopkeeper, wanting to be sure he was handing over the right amount.

Alexis stood in line at the counter and placed everything on the counter. She stood and waited patiently for the shopkeeper who was busy helping the other students. She counted up how much everything would cost. "16 galleons and 9 sickles. I hope that's right", she said to herself. "Hello, Miss, whenever you have a moment to spare. I'm ready to check out", she said to the shopkeeper.

Chris grabbed 6 galleons out of his pocket and set them on the counter and grabbed his telescope." Here you are, 6 galleons. Sorry I'm in a bit of rush. Thank you!" Chris said was he fast walked out the door. Quite unusual for him to do that but he just wanted to get his shopping done then gulp down a hot butterbeer.

[QUOTE=Colley ♥;10543988]"Sorry little one, I don't sell invisibility cloaks for the use of children, it's a Ministry restriction." With her wand, she summoned the cloak and placed it back on the display with the others, "19 Galleons and 3 Sickles for the rest of it then." The other items were spinning about in midair, wrapping up themselves and then placing themselves back on the counter top.
Alyssa paid the shopkeeper the 19 Galleons and 3 sickles she owed for her items. "Thank you for letting me know that it was a Ministry restriction that we couldn't own invisibility cloaks. I definitely don't want to break the law". With that she smiled her thanks, picked up her packages and walked out the store.

Would you mind tallying up the amount again? I'm sure that I owe you more than that." she told the shopkeeper shyly.

Arlo hesitated at the question, thinking that if it was wrapped up then he would just end up unwrapping it. On the other hand, it would look neater than a pile of objects. "Uh.. Yes please, Miss," he decided.

Raven walked right up to the telescope that she needed and picked it up. She wasted no time in walking directly to the counter. She wanted to leave quickly. This was the last item she needed to buy on her school supplies list.
"Hello? Can someone help me. I've got what I needed and I'm ready to make a purchase."Raven was very firm with her voice.
Raven's father's hand guided her to the counter and he checked his pocket.
"Yes, I think I have enough money for this." he said, very proud of his precocious daughter.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Laurie Moon First Year |
At the counter Laurie stacked up her new equipment for the shop keeper to add up. She had decided on a telescope, a sneakoscope, wizard's chess (which she chose over gobstones), a magical trunk, and as a last minute decision she added on a lunarscope, and omnioculars.
"i think that will be all" she said to the shop keeper. She pulled out her little yellow coin purse, "how much will it be?" she asked, with twinkles in her eyes.
