Kaika looked up as someone else spoke, she'd heard that voice before, "Hey Abby!" she greeted, but the girl there had a point, she hadn't thought of that...what if they needed more money? They were left with a limit, therefore, it's time to prioritize somehow, and spend wisely, right?

"I want to think it's enough" she said, not that she truly knew, US dollars were beyond her, "However, we can always help each other if we need to" she was a Hufflepuff and that was enough to receive help from another Huffie if help was needed.

Ross was surprised at this girl "Very well done you have been learning" He said happily as he picked up a pile of green notes then began to count them. When he had found that the right ammount was there he handed it to her then took the 100 galeons and said "Good luck , use it wisely"

Regarding Ross carefully, Jake pulled himself up so he was sitting on the counter. He had a strong mind to tell him to stop copying what Jake was saying but that would just cause conflict. Maybe he was jst getting fed up by the same continuous thing. What the-

"Well, she is a fifth year," Jake pointed out to Ross, swinging his feet back and forth as he sat up on the counter. And we have been giving everyone the same amount...

Jake shrugged. Maybe it's just that he wouldn't take kindly by being praised by someone younger than him.

Looking over to Tobi, Jake resisted the urge to butt in and exchange the money, but Tobi was doing it fine, and Jake was just bored. "Hi Kaika," he ended up nodding to the Quidditch captain, the only person he really knew there right now.

"Come on Miles." Vanessa nodded, as she walked into the Currency Exchange store. They needed to change there 100 galleons into Dollars, before they could get on the planes. Now if she had worked out correctly in her head it would be 500 dollars. She probably hadn't worked it out right though.
Smiling she wandered up to the desk. "Hey....I need to convert this 100 Galleons into US Dollars."

Jumping down off the counter, Jake turned around to face the fifth year. The other two were busy so he thought he may as well take this customer. "Hey," he yawned, pulling the bundle of american dollars from under the counter. "Hand yours over, then, and you can take this; five hundred US dollars."

"Sure" Barry said and he nodded before leaving for the clothing shop. This final was simple!

Abby hears someone calling her name. She turns around and sees Kaika. "Hey, how are you doing? Yeah, I was hoping to have some extra money to buy stuff at the show. Where are you going?"

"I'm comin'." Miles drawled as he finally reached the counter of the ... currency exchange store. Hmm. He had his 100 galleons with him, and now .. to convert them! He watched as people rushed quickly to get there first, as if there would be a prize at the end. When really, Miles was more interested in where he actually was!

A currency exchange store. He'd never been to one. He never needed toconvert wizarding money into english pounds because they had loads at home anyway! Even if his father didn't really approve of Miles having it. "Can you pleeeease convert these galleons into .. dollars? Is it?" That's what Vannie had told him. Miles had never needed dollars either, so this was a whooooole new experience! Yey!

Vanessa smiled, and passed over the 100 galleons she had been given. She just hoped that she wouldn't lose any of the US Dollars, that would be rather stupid.
She looked around, and smiled at Miles as she waited to get get Dollars. "It's a lot of money isn't it Miles?"

Tobi smiled at the kid. "It is. 100 Galleons for 500 US dollars. Pretty cool huh?"

Tobi counted out 500 US dollars in cash, ready for the kid to hand over the shiny shiny monies...

While Ross was waiting for more people to come he began to count out little piles of 500 Dollars before turning to the other two and saying "Do you think there is anybody else?"

Well, look who it is! Ross. He tried out when Rapunzel was Captain. Interesting, she didn't remember him trying out this term...Huh. But that was besides the point. "Yes, well, Prof. Dumont is a great teacher" go figure, she did properly convert the amount...Maybe the whole "currency converter" got stuck in her head somehow.

"Thank you, Ross...I will" she said, as she took the green silly looking paper...because that's what the money was for these muggles, paper.

"Jake! Aren't you going to come?" she asked, considering that he was just sitting there...doing his job, right?

But it seemed quite unfair for them to miss out on the...fun?...yeah, maybe.

And he looked kind of...annoyed. Weird. Jake has never had that look on his face, well, not when Kaika was around. For all she knew, he was still the sweet little Huffie boy. And he'll probably stay that way for a very long time.

Yes, now Abby. "So far so good" she said, while she smiled. "It never occurred to me if it was going to be enough, to be perfectly honest...but Prof. Dumont must know it will be enough" a nod and then she placed the green parchment-looking money inside her bag.

"I still don't know...I want to go to the concert, I think, or the movie thingy...but I'm still torn between those two" because no matter how much she liked Quidditch, which will fall into the 'sports' category, a wrestling match was not too much of her liking.

Stifling a yawn and rubbing at his eye with the back of his fist, Jake shrugged. "Mmmm, I dunno... might do," he nodded, jumping down and turning so he could lean on the counter. They were slowing dooowwwwwn agaaaiiiin. Oyye. "See ya later, maybe, then..." he said with an acknowledging nod, before sitting himself down on the floor against a wall until the place livened up again.

Tobi shrugged, "I know Celandine still hasn't come and done hers," he said, "But it probably won't be as busy as it was up until now."

He had already found time to help out at the Transportation Center, because it was NUTS over there.

Emalyn sidled up to the counter, laying down her 100 galleons. Okay. So. American money. This would be easy enough...right?
She waited for a bit, looking around eagerly.

Qaz walked in to convert her currency. She checked her handy little currency converter (here) to find out how much she should expect and then went up to the counter.

'Hell, I'd like to exchange these 100 galleons for US Dollars, please.' Qaz spoke in her most polite inside voice.

Tobi grinned at Qaz. "Hi! The cake was awesome by the way." He said, "The exchange rate at this very moment is 100 Galleons for 500 US Dollars. Cool eh?"

It was both that way and cool, because Professor Dumont had said so.

"Do you want to exchange that... sorry I don't know your name?" Tobi asked the way younger girl.

Emalyn noticed she hadn't said what she wanted her money converted to. She wanted to smack herself for being so daft. "I'd like these converted to American dollars, please." She bit her lip. She was still trying to figure out in her head what she was going to do. She smiled at her friends Kaika and Ross from her spot at the counter, waving shyly.

"Sure thing," Tobi said taking money and counting out the shiny shinies.. ohh pretty...

100!!!

"500 US Dollars for you." Tobi handed her back the cash in its place. "Use it well," he said conspiratorially.

'That's cool!' Qaz said as she accepted the money. 'and I'm glad that you enjoyed the cake. I really thought you guys played great and why should we be the only ones getting fat on cake. Be seein' ya'

"I'm going to the rock concert. I've never been to a muggle one before, so I figure why not. Besides I already know what to wear. It was part of the homework for class number one. That's why I'm worried about money. I mean you can't go to a concert and not buy souvenirs. I understand they are expensive at those kind of things.

Now, this a voice she was very familiar with. And, yay! No bugs around, that was awesome. And she was not going to let Emalyn go through this on her own, she was in second year! What if she got lost? Well, she was sure the girl could take care of herself...better than Kaika, probably.

Still, "Ema!" she exclaimed as she waved at her teammate, "You just follow me when you're done, 'kay?" because it was better than way? No one really knew.

Kaika nodded, "Yes, I've already seen one of those movies before, in one of those movie theaters and all..." she thought for a moment, she'll be heading to the clothes store after this, better to figure out where she was going before trying to get the clothes, so...."And I've never been to a concert before, well...not a muggle one that is..." because she doesn't really listen to as much muggle music as her brother, "...So, maybe the concert is a better idea, after all" not to mention that most of the clues given by Prof. Dumont are meant for the concert...or so she thinks.

"Maybe that's why we're supposed to spend this wisely...you know, so we can have a little extra money for souvenirs" unless Prof. Dumont didn't want them to fly back with anything other than themselves and their bags.

Miles glanced over to where Vannie was getting her money as it was handed over to her. "Wooooah." He dragged his 'o's out as the pile of green caught the light and into his eyes. It was VERY diffrent from English muggle moneh. "Yeaaah." He agreed to whatever she said.

He quickly turned back to his counter and grinned at the boy who was gunna give him the shineh green stuff.

"Oh wow!" Miles' grin grew wider as his galleons were exchanged for bigger and better and GREEENER money. "Thankyou!" He took the money from the dude behingd the counter, and held it up infront of Vannie's face. "Lookie! I got mine too!" Oh how exciting! He hadn't been this excited since his dad actually let him go to Hogwarts.

Vanessa smiled as she recieved her money, oh it was a lot.
"Woot..." Vannie giggled, as she turned to see Miles waving his dollars in her face. "Don't go losing it." She grinned, knowing that he wouldn't. "Lets go..." She nodded towards the door.

This was definately one of WEIRDEST finals.. EVAH! It seemed pretty cool though, and it was a rather excited Clifford that pulled Evangeline into the currency exchange store.

He was VERY excited at the prospect of getting real life muggle monies!

"Do you think if we've got any left over we'll be allowed to keep it?" He whispered to Evangeline, leading her to one of the counters and emptying his 100 galleons on it.

"I want muggle monies, pweaaase!" Clifford bounced, with big excited eyes. SQUEE!
