I don't think I've ever bought this much candy at one time before! It'll probably last me two school years!" She said as she dug through her purse for the money. "There you go! 12 Galleons, keep the change!" Aly said smiling and winking at the girl. "Thanks for everything!" She said as she grabbed her things.

"Well you wont have to worry about needing to buy candy for a while!" Frida smiled, "I think you have the perfect amount!" As the young girl decided to leave her change, the Swedish girl was touched, "Thank you very much, I hope you have a lovely holiday, or whats left anyway!"

"Thank you!" she said, blushing a little. "I've just met such wonderful new friends today, I can't wait to celebrate with all of them on the train."

"You mean there's a lady on the train whose job it is to supply the Hogwarts' student body with candy?! This school gets better all the time!" exclaimed Melina.

She took the pretty pink bag from Frida and reached out to collect her change. But then she drew her hand back. "Could you keep the change? Maybe a little kid will pick out his candy and be a few sickles short. Then he won't have to go away disappointed." This was the best day Melina had ever had. She could not allow anyone to be disappointed today. Besides, helping out a "little kid" made Melina feel very grown-up for her 11 years.

She smiled once more at Frida and gave a tiny, rapid wave of her hand. "I'll be at Hogwarts until holiday, but I will definitely be back here then! Have a lovely day!" she called out, floating out the door and back into the bustling crowd.

"Well I have never been to Hogwarts myself," the Swedish girl admitted, "I grew up far away from here, but I know for a fact that on the School Train there is a little old lady who has a trolley full of sweets, for those students who forgot to bring a snack from home, or for those who ate all the home-packed ones before London had faded into the distance!"

Here was another young child, who was willing to leave her change behind, and for another child too, "Well aren't you just as sweet as the lollies you have just purchased" Frida smiled, "I will place them in this empty jar, and only allow them to be touched when they are most needed!" It was truly a lovely gesture.

"Enjoy your first term, and enjoy those sweets!"

Connor smiled. "I try to do my best for those I respect and consider friend." He replied.

Connor watched ruefully. "If you insist, I will simply buy her candy myself." he said softly and turned on his heel. He refused to bow down to these people who did not want him to love her and who would be cruel about it.

His eye flicked to the voice that he had clearly etched in his memory from the dinner party a few nights ago. When his eyes landed on the dark haired boy with the piercing blue eyes, he felt like his worst nightmare had come true and his eyes narrowed.

"That will not be necessary," he said stuffing the photo wallet back in his coat pocket. "I admire your generosity however." At least the boy was trying to impress...but that didn't mean he had to like it.

He pushed the money back towards Connor and removed his own wallet from his pocket to pay.

Frida was well and truly uncomfortable.....

From the scene that was unfolding before her, she could gather that the young one wanted to pay from the sweets, to try and impress the older one, so as to be granted permission to woo the girl in the pictures.

Wow! Talk about a soapie! It was like one of those boring television shows one would watch when they had just finished their exams and were free but had nothing to do and just sat in their pj's all day watching bad TV and eating junk food......or what that only Frida who did that.....

Returning her attention to the matter at hand, she watched as the boy turned on his heel and left, it sort of made th situation easier, well for her anyway; Basket One is 27 galleons and 18 Sickles and Basket Two is 7 galleons and 4 Sickles"

"Thank you! As I you, candy counter lady!" Aly said smiling as she skipped out the door.

With an elated grin, she brought her pile of candy to the counter. She pawed through the pile, counting everything. "I've got...two sugar quills, a box of ice mice, a box of pumpkin pasties, I pound of chocolate dragon fudge, one package of Drooble's, a packet of Jumping Gummy Bears, aaaand some Toothflossing Stringmints." She flushed with embarrassment. "Wow, that's a lot...it didn't seem like so much when I was picking it off the shelves." She giggled lightly and pulled out her coin purse which, throughout the day, had become considerably lighter. "So what does that come to?"

Frida grinned at the girl as she began to sort through the pile, "Oh No," she began to say, a look of mock-ashamed-ness upon her face, "if thats alot that I am a greedy guts!" She laughed, hoping to make the girl less embrassed, "All up that comes to 2 Galleons, and 16 Sickles!" She beamed, as he placed the sweets in one of the pink trademark bags of SugarPlums.

This is one of the most shops Lara enjoys being at, after she had wandering around it and checking out the shelves for like a thousands times it was the time that she head to the counter.

Lara stepped towards the counter holding; 10 sugar quills ,two boxes of pumpkin pasties, a box of ice mice and two packets of Jumping Gummy Bears. Lara glanced at them checking in case she forgot something, she wasn't sure if the pumkin pasties are enough so she made a quick to the shelf where they are ,brought another one and out on the counter. She took a deep breath after that jump and said "I've got 10 sugar quills, three boxes of pumpkin pasties" She was out of breath so she inhaled again and went on "a box of ice mice and two packets of Jumping Gummy Bears" Whew.... that was a long sentence Lara looked at what she had bought and it was a large quantity indeed she was curious what would the shopkeeper think of that, well she must be seeing lots and lots of people who buy more quantities.

"So cheap!" Quinn exclaimed delightedly as she dug through her bag and extracted the money. "Back in Marseille this lot would have cost twice that. She took the bag from the shopkeeper and grinned. "Merci! Thank you," she said before leaving the store to continue her shopping.

"De Rien!" called Frida in return as the young girl bounced off on her way.

The Swedish girl, watched with a smile as the young lady had arrived at the counter only to ran away again and return with another box of Pumpkin Pasties, "I think you made a wise choice!" She laughed, "No one can resist Pumpkin Pasties!"
Frida began to tally up the price, the old school cash registry dinging and binging as she went, "That comes to 5 Galleons and 6 sickles!" She nodded, the tonguing S's hard on her accent.

Lara grinned at the Kind shopkeeper "I know right!" Lara said, she was glad that the shopkeeper agreed with her about the pasties, even adults like them, Lara was going to tell her mother about that as it's a very important piece of information.

Lara was watching how the leady counted the price quickly, she always gets impressed of that, she's even thinking of becoming a shopkeeper after she gratuates! Lara was taken with the lady's speed so she kinda forget to get out the money, but eventually she remembered.

She sank her hand into her bag searching for the money, her fingers touched the galleons and then she got them out. She didn't want the shopkeeper to get bored of her so she moved quickly and counted 5 galleons. Then she counted"3....4...5...and 6" she whispered to herself.
She gathered them and slipped them towards the shopkeeper "Here you are!" she grinned at the kind lady.

"Thiiis part?" Gem drew a circle on Damien's chest, around his heart. HAH. Lame, she SO knew it, but she didn't care either.

"Now, where is this shopkeeper? I demand service." Gemini LAUGHED, knowing full well how annoying customers like that were, and the fact that her own shop was CLOSED and NO ONE was getting service there.

Hahaha. She was so witty.

Damien snorted at how corny she was being but leant down and brushed his lips softly across hers. "And this part," he said stealing another kiss.

"You ARE perfect for me, aren't you? Rude, obnoxious, LOUD... I can't believe I waited as long as I did before making you my ball and chain," he said with a wink.

SPOILER!!: The Love Birds!

Bouncing from the Back Room, where she had fixing up a few things; inventories, stock list, re-order forms, her hair, Frida appaered she heard the sounds of lip locking in her store.

"Hello," she smiled at the two love birds, who seemed to be very smitted with one another, "How may I assist you?" she asked, her swedish accent still appearing in flashes.

Ooooh. Ohh la la.

Gemini laughed. "You speak as if you waited at all." Really, when you think about it, they hadn't waited.... at all. AT ALL. Not complaining, just sayin'. She pretended to be put out that he had called her rude, though.

Heh.

Glancing at the woman when she appeared, she nudged Damien's arm, so he would show the woman what they were THERE for. "Just those, please."

It was love at first sight. I'd say I waited long enough," he said quietly and gave her hand a squeeze.

OH! Hahaha. Turning to give the lady a smile and a tip of the hat he placed the package of Jelly slugs on the counter and then asked, "Are those made from real slugs?"

Ellie made her way to the counter and placed all the sweets on it. There were 2 boxes of dark chocolate truffle, 4 packets of invisible gum and about a pound of white chocolate. "I guess I need to weigh this?" she asked pointing at a white chocolate. But she didn't dare to touch the scale, so she waited for shopkeeper's answer while smiling shyly.

When she noticed a little girl approach the counter, a huge smile appeared on Letty's face immediately!! Ooooooh...how much she loved children!!!!! ''I'm coming dear!!!'' the young woman called out as she was wearing her roller blades. She loved roller blades too!!!!!

Once she was done with the roller blades, Letty quickly skated her way to the counter and gave the girl a cheerful grin. ''Hello, there! Welcome to Sugarplum's Sweet Shop!!!! How can i help you, dear?'' Ooooh wait. She had already mentioned how could she help her. Hehehehehe. She eyed all the stuff on the counter before looking back at the girl. She was supposed to weigh the while chocolate? Was she? Ooh yes.

Carefully taking the white chocolate block, Letty weighed it with utmost attention before placing it next to the girl's other sweets on the counter. ''That is a pound of white chocolate, dear. Sooo...those all are...''

She eyed the sweets again

''All are 1 Galleon, 14 Sickles and 48 Knuts''

Right after she placed all her sweats on a counter, she saw a lady approaching her, a shopkeeper. She seemed really happy to see her customers and greeted Ellie with a huge smile across her face. She weighted a chocolate for her and quickly came up with a sum she was supposed to pay for her goods.

Ellie opened her small purse her mum picked up for her in Diagon Alley couple of days before. She collected the money and handed it to a lady behind a counter. "There you go, hope I counted it right!" she said and chuckled awkwardly. After shopkeeper took the money she thanked her and made her way out of her shop. "Goodbye and have a nice day." she said right before leaving the shop.

"Rose, look at all these! Pleeeeaaaasssseeee can we have some bertie botts every flavour beans, some liqurice wands and a few chocolate frogs. Pretty pleeeeaaaassseee!" Lilly begged, not taking her eyes off the colourful shelves.

'Yes, Lilly!' Rose said impatiently. She walked up to the counter. She placed two packets of Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans, a box af liquorice wands and three chocolate frogs on the counter.

OOC: We don't chat at counter! We can chat at aisles and shelves, but it makes life harder for shopkeepers if we chat here!

Scarlett was happy after making two new friends that she would try and catch up with once it was time to head over to school. Placing her 2 packs of Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans and Lollipop on the counter she waited patiently for the Shop Keeper or his assistant.

Still smiling at the kid, Letty carefully watched her as she collected and silently counted the money. She had always tought that wizarding money was a little bit more difficult to count so if the kid did it then she must have been a smart one. Hehehe.

Nodding at the girl once she dropped the money on the counter, Letty quickly checked the amount. ''Yes, dear. That was a quite successful one!'' Ooooh the kid was cute! Taking the money the young woman carefully dropped it into where it was supposed to kept before waving the little girl a cheerful goodbye. ''Hope to see you again.''

Once the kind little girl was gone, the other two, who seemed to be busy with each other standing before the counter, took Leticia's attention. Hmmm... They did not have any sweets that needed to be paid for with themselves though. So, the young woman thought they might be confused. ''Yes, dears how can i help you?''


OOC: That is right. Please do use the other suitable threads for chatting between charries. Happy RPing. Thank you

Oooooooooh...there was another one!!!! Yay! Letty did love kids and yes apparently a sweets shop was a perfect place to work if you loved kids. Hehehe. ''Hello, honey!'' she greeted the little girl cheerfully giving her one of the biggest smiles of her own.

Then she was about to ask how she could help her yet the girl already made it clear by dropping the sweets she wanted to buy on the counter. ''Aaaahaaaa! You are so quick!! They are very delicious i assure you!! And ummm...'' she narrowed his eyes a bit while counting how much money was required for the sweets. ''...those are all should be 17 Sickles or...ummm...one Galleon.''

Scarlett smiled brightly at the cheerful witch. "Hello! Well I hope The Bertie Botts are especially good since last time I got an awful batch. Nearly all were horrid flavours. Except I think that is the excitement in them!"

Scarlett handed over a Galleon from her pocket placing it onto the counter.

"How can you not like Every Flavor Beans? I mean, yeah, they have some nasty ones, but there are a lot that taste really good!" The eleven year old said as he walked to the counter, turning to the clerk, "Hi, I'm ready to pay for this." Cain said, indicating the 3 boxes of Chocolate Frogs, the 2 Licorice wands, 1 Sugar Quill, 4 pieces of Droobles Gum, and 5 boxes of Every Flavor Beans, as he set them on the counter.

"And I don't know where I'll be going next, maybe to Florean's while I wait for my dad?

Isobel shrugged, "They're gross." But then they got to the counter so she stopped talking and put all her candy up there. She had 12 chocolate frogs, 2 licorice wands, 1 sugar quill, and 1 droobles gum. "Hello," she said cheerfully.
