It's about 9 A.M. on a Saturday morning, and Professor Barlow has led her students into Hogsmeade to attempt to sell the Ashwinder eggs collected during class. The center is no more than a large tent with wooden counters set up to display the jars of eggs.
All of the eggs are already at the center and accounted for, even the jars labeled by the students during class. There's also enough for each student to potentially sell four extra jars. Villagers are walking nearby, and most are eyeing the center and considering a purchase.
Could this just be your lucky day?!
Text Cut: Directions
It's time to make a real profit on the Ashwinder eggs you collected in class!
Directions
Meet Professor Barlow outside the barn this Saturday morning at 9 A.M. sharp. (OOC: You don't actually have to RP doing this, and I won't actually have Barlow there to meet your character.)
Together, we will walk into Hogsmeade and to the center I've set up for us to sell our eggs. (OOC: Again, we won't actually RP this.)
At the center, you'll have the opportunity to sell FIVE jars of eggs. Professor Barlow has added in enough jars, so that everyone has the opportunity to sell five.
You will receive house points for the number of jars you attempt to sell, but you can not sell more than five. You can make as many posts as you wish; however, you must make at least five to get credit. You can RP people either buying or not buying your eggs.
When you are done, please PM me a link to all posts you made either selling or attempting to sell your jars of eggs.
Be realistic. You are RPing a young student wishing to sell an ingredient to adults in the village. They won't be paying hefty amounts, and it's not realistic at all to RP them doing so. I don't want to squish your creativity, but I do want you to keep it realistic. Let's say you can't sell a jar for more than five galleons.
Finally, no one will actually be RPing the adults considering a purchase. You can just RP your own character and the actions of the villager they're trying to sell to.
Most of all, HAVE FUN! Please ready my homework guidelines here, so you'll know exactly how I'd like you to submit this.
Also, I'm really sorry about how fast this will need to go, but you only have until this Friday, May 24, to get this done. Why? Because this is happening at Hogsmeade, and that's when Hogsmeade closes. I'm not sure exactly what time it'll close, so you may want to get this done as soon as possible. The deadline to submit your links via PM is Friday, May 24 at 11:59 PM EST.

So the thing was with everyone selling eggs, West figured he needed to be smart about it. He expected Dylan and Theo to maybe join him later but he said he'd set up so here he was.
... which was where? In a large tent with most everything set up as needed. And students yelling and trying to sell the eggs. West had decided a different approach was needed. For starters : research. West had checked and knew that a single Ashwinder egg cost 1 galleon at Slug and Jiggers, so a jar with at least five Ashwinder eggs in it was reasonable at 5 galleons a pop.
He spread out a green tablecloth over top of the work area he'd been assigned and arranged the jars of eggs on top. Just to be different and catch the eye mind you. After that West covered every single jar with a black cloth.
Finally he sat back and put his sunglasses on and waited.
How mysterious.

Nigel did not have the personality to sell anything. He was okay with numbers and knew that a jar of ashwinder eggs would sell at 5 galleons. But Nigel did not really need the money. So he would sell a jar for 3 galleons.
Nigel went into a the tent and picked an empty counter. He then put his five jars of eggs down. He now had his stand step up. The only thing left to do was wait. He was not going to yell and advertise. That was just not something Nigel did. After a while an older man stood in front of him and his counter. "Can I help You?"
"Well. For starters. You can tell me the price for a jar of your ashwinder eggs" The older man replied. This kid was no salesman. But he did have some good looking eggs.
Nigel knew he had a little attitude and smirked when his guy returned it."It's 3 galleons, Sir"
"Prefect I would like to buy one then" The older man thought this was a really good deal and should not pass it up. Though he had no need for ashwinder eggs anytime soon
"Thank You Sir." Nigel replied as the man handed Nigel the 3 galleon. Nigel watched him walk away. Nigel was a little happy. He was 3 galleon richer than he was a couple minutes ago.

Just as the old woman shuffled off, Jory caught sight of Kurumi once again. He grinned. "It's great! Busy as ever with all the classes, homework and studying but it's still fun.'' As if he needed to confirm that because Kurumi could see that right now. "How are you? And Lewis?'' Because Jory had not forgotten about those two lovebirds.
The badger turned his attention back to his jars as another customer came up. A man this time. And to his relief Jory saw he was smiling. "At least this one is in a good mood,'' he thought. He did not like grumpy people. Aloud he said, "Hello, Sir!Can I interest you in some fresh Ashwinder eggs?'' He waited hopefully for the man to say yes.
"Of course you can, young man,'' he replied. "My wife needs some for her potion brewing. I need two jars, please.'' The man proceeded to select two jars.
Jory was surprised. The man hadn't even asked the price. "I'll give him a discount,'' the boy thought. Usually, customers came back when they received a discount. "They would cost 10 galleons but since you are taking two, I'll give you for 9 galleons and 10 sickles.'' It seemed reasonable.
The man nodded and counted out the coins. "Here you go.''
"Thank you!'' Three jars down. Would he be able to sell all five?

"Fresh Ashwinder eggs here, come and buy"
"Goo' Lord! You've gotcha booming voice!" exclaimed the fair man as he walked towards her counter. He had a very unusual accent and unusually bright grey eyes.
"Oh sorry, didn't mean to..." she trailed. Well it was part of the business, wasn't it? "Would like to buy some ashwinder eggs?" Yes, only ashwinder eggs, no dragon eggs mind you.
"F'corse.. zat's what you've bin shootin'" he said, with a grin. "Aw much eez ay jar, fair lady?" he asked, as he took a look at the jars.
"Five galleons a jar, no less and no more" she said, returning his grin.
"Five gaale-ons" he repeated, as he took his money bag. EYE. EYE. ASSESS THE CONTENTS. "Zer, you're gaale-ons" he said, placing them on the counter.
"Thank you" she exclaimed, taking the galleons. "And here is you're jar for the zee gaaale-ons" she said, trying to imitate him. Fair stuff, it sounded too close. CHUCKLE. She waved after the guy as she flashed her a smile, picked his jar and left.
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite
While she waited on that man to make up his mind she turned to someone else who'd walked up to her. "Hello! Can I interest you in some Ashwinder eggs?" The smile remained on her face as she watched the woman. For now all she was doing was staring. Yeah, stare on your own time lady. Between her and the man, Lex was getting nowhere. Then finally, she spoke.
"How much would I be paying for one?"
Here were go, now they were getting somewhere. "10 galleons each." She'd asked the Professor and that was the price estimated by the woman so she wouldn't question it in anyway. Nope! She'd just sit back and have people either buy it or not. It didn't matter if anyone else bought because she just earned 18 in one go. But still. Buy one lady. "I could let you have 2 for 8 galleons though." Sure she'd made the other guy pay 9 but then she thought about it...and the math involved...and this seemed...easier to calculate and figure out.
The woman gave her a skeptical look. "10 galleons for only one?" And now her eyebrow was raised. What kind of operation are you running here?"
Hm?
Lex blinked up at the woman before settling into her most innocent expression. ]b]"A good operation for a good cause. I'm sure you've heard what's happened to the school, it's awful up there now, this will help make things better if only a little,"[/b] she wasn't about to tell her that they kept all the galleons, NOPE, "you see this is what they're resorting to and if we don't sell these, they might lock us in the dungeons without dinner." She threw in some wibbling too. "it's dark and scary down there."
"You poor thing, I'll take two." She'd heard things about that castle but she didn't think they would have gotten so bad. These poor children. There must have been something else she could do other than report the staff to the authorities
"Thank you ma'am, your support is greatly appreciated." Lex said, trying to maintain the same composure as she fished another two from the jar. She waited for the money to be put on the counter then she handed them to her. "Oh and I'd ask that you not mention the horrid punishment while you help to spread the word. If they find out I told you..." She paused juuuust a bit for dramatic effect, "I don't even want to think about it."
"Oh yes, yes of course, things will get better dear." The woman gave her a sympathetic look and a small smile before walking off. Poor poor children.
Pfffffffffffffffffft. Sucker.

"I gave fire to fire place...la la la
Saw the Ashy coming out....and woo ha ha
Now all the eggs are mine, yes I'm evil alright
Two more to go. Two more to go.
Then I get to go. Then I get to go.
Have fun in candy shop...oh hey hey, you don't get to stop MEEE!"
When she opened her eyes, she saw a horrified looking woman staring at her. She should because the little girl was standing on her chair by the counter, arms raised in the air, eyes closed singing like a maniac.
She got down in a second. ADJUST HAIR. GRIN. GRIN. "Uhm, how may I assist you?" The woman merely pointed at notice and the egg jar. "OH, you need ashwinder eggs?" Ofcourse she did. That's what the counter was for.
"How much?" the woman asked curtly, still visibly dazed, as she picked her money purse.
"Eight galleons" she said, for staring at me, as she pushed a jar towards the disturbed woman. The lady just placed the galleons, snatched the jar and moved as fast as she could, away from the counter and her.
Ha! She had done it, one egg was now gone and she needed to sell 4 more eggs if she wanted to do it good! Sonea took a handkerchief out of her pocket and tried to made the 4 jars more shiny and good looking! When she was done she took one jar in her hand and ran toward a elderly man.
"Sir, will you buy this Ashwinder egg from me? This is a school project and i want to do it good!" Sonea blinked a few times with her eyes when she smiled at the man. "Will you help me and buy this egg from me? You can have it for only 5 galleons, normally they are more expensive but because i hope that you will buy it from me i will sell it cheap" lied Sonea to the man.
Sir: "Oh, are you studying at Hogwarts! Of course i want to help a nice young lady like you!"
"Thank you sir!" said Sonea with a squeaking voice and when the man had paid her the money she gave him the jar with the egg and watched with a big grin how the man walked away with the egg.
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite
So even after dealing with another customer he still wasn't ready to make up his mind. Fine. She could go on selling.
"Aswhinder eggs! Get your ashwinder eggs!"
She shouted that just about every time someone else walked by until finally a man, holding his nose a bit too high walked up to the stall. Ah merlin, she didn't think the sob story would work with this one. "How may I help you sir?" Buy something, yeah?
"I think that'd be obvious. You're selling so what business would I have over here other than to buy? Common sense really."
Lex scowled up at the man. "That's not what I meant."But anyway."Are you interested in buying or are you just looking because that's gonna cost you two galleons." Rude people like him had to pay more for wasting her time. This would either prompt him to buy something, or leeeave. Her face remained neutral as she waited for his response.
The man rolled his eyes. "Are you going to tell me the price or will I have to pay for that too?"
And now she was just plain unamused. "10 galleons, take it or leave."
"With an attitude like that I think I'll leave it." Insolent child. He didn't have to walk over to her, there were plenty of other children selling and not all for 10 galleons from what he was hearing.
"Great, leave, you're blocking people who actually want to buy something." Ruuuuuude. Just very rude. She watched the man shoot her a derisive look before turning and walking off. Yeah. She didn't care. Could you tell?

Just one more. Someone come and get it!
She sat down on her chair, poured her some pumpkin juice. HUM. HUM. The juice tasted sooo good to her. After all the things from Hogwarts, it should really.
"Do you have ashwinder eggs?" she heard a very sweet voice asking. The woman looked young and she had a big baby bump. She was eying the lone jar of eggs standing on the counter.
"OH yes..the very last one" she said, with a smile. She pushed a chair towards the woman. "Please sit down" Add another smile there. She poured another glass of pumpkin juice. OH, I'm running out. She offered it to the woman. "Would you like some juice as well?" Ofcourse, everyone would, they were delicious.
The woman looked pleasantly surprised and she sat down on the chair. When the little girl offered her juice, she smiled widely. "Aw thank you dear" she said, accepting the glass. She took a sip from it. "Mhmm..tastes good" And she sipped some more. "How much for the egss, dear girl?"
"Thanks" And I did nothing to make it tasty. But she returned the smile nevertheless, just because the woman looked very friendly. "That would cost five galleons a jar" she said, as she pushed the jar towards her.
"Fair price.." the woman said, as she placed the empty cup and took the jar. She took out her wallet and scrambled with the galleons "Here you go little girl..seven galleons for you're sweetness" the woman said, cheerfully as she placed the galleons on the counter. "And for the tasty pumpkin juice..." She added another galleon to the little pile.
"OH thank you so much" she exclaimed as she took the galleons and handed the woman her jar. She waved her a cheery good-bye as the woman left.
All jars sold. Amara beamed with happiness. Her money bag was now jingling with so many galleons. She cleared the counter, packed her bag and took off her big notice. The work was done. Turnout was good and she was really happy about it. HONEYDUKES! HERE I COME!
Laura wasn't really sure if she could do this, she was a bit nervous about this and now she was going to try and sort things out, she just hoped that she could do the best that she could.
"Ashwinder Eggs!!" Laura shouted down the street but it seemed no one was listening to her, she would try and sort things out in a bit. "ASHWINDER EGGS, COME GET YOUR ASHWINDER EGGS!!!" Laura shouted down the street again but once again she got ignored, she was surely going to have to do something to try and sell some.
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite
"Here you go, thanks for stopping by." She just gotten through selling another Ashwinder egg, just one, the person didn't seem all that impressed by the deal, didn't matter though because that was one whole jar sold! WOOT!! She beamed down at her 44 galleons she'd earned fair and square...almost. Technically, if you're dull enough to be suckered, you deserved it.
Sorry.
Okay...only slightly sorry.
Lex turned her attention to someone else that had walked up to the stall. Ummm..."Aren't you a bit too young to be walking through Hogsmeade alone?" The kid looked 7...maybe 8. Definitely not old enough to be able to afford an egg.
"I'm here with my Mummy." The little girl looked to the new jar the girl put on the table. "What are those?"
"These? Ashwinder eggs. They're super cool, you want one?" BEAM.
"I do!!" The little girl was now bouncing. "Can I have one, What do they do??"
Er..."Sure you can, if you can pay 10 galleons! And um...they do anything you want really! Super fun these little things." Nodnodnod.
"But I don't have that many..." She paused, her eyebrows knitting in concentration before she finally ran off and came back a few minutes later pulling on a woman she kept calling mummy. "This Mummy, this is what I want, can I have it? Pleeease?" When asked if she was sure the little girl nodded vigorously. "10 Galleons Mummy, please!"
Lex saw the look on the woman's face and quickly spoke up. "It's a Hogwarts initiative ma'am," because she wasn't going to tell her that only the students benefited from this either, "I suspect she'll be headed there one day, right?" And her face was perfectly pleasant. It remained that way too because slowly the woman reached into her bag and put ten galleons on the counter. "Here you go." She said, smiling down at the little girl and handing her the egg. "And thank you Ma'am."
She added the 10 to her existing pile then slinked them all into her small bag. Business was good today. Smirk.

Haruka arranged her Ashwinder eggs so that people who walked by could see them. After making sure that they were all in line, Haruka put on the sweetest smile she could muster. "Freshly frozen Ashwinder eggs! Come and get some Ashwinder eggs!" She stepped in front of her stand to get closer to the people and continued. "Frozen by Hogwart's Care of Magical Creatures class, these eggs are as fresh as they come!" She grabbed a jar and continued. "You can't lose when you buy a jar! You get a quality ingredient for a low price, you're helping the school we all know and love, and you get to go home with the knowledge that you've raised a child's self esteem by helping them with their homework, thus helping them succeed in life!"
An elderly woman who'd stopped a while ago to listen walked up to Haruka. "A very convincing speech, young lady." She pulled out her wallet. "Tug at the heartstrings of the masses. Clever. How much for a jar?"
Haruka smiled at the woman shyly, respecting how quickly she'd caught on. "Just 5 galleons, Ma'am," she replied. The woman nodded her head and handed Haruka the money. Haruka passed her a jar. "Thank you, Ma'am!" She yelled to the woman as she walked off.
A Hogsmeade weekend was exactly what Calista needed after the week she'd had. The lesson on tea leaf reading had gone well but the plastic cups and Merlin awful tea had given her and most likely her students enough headaches to last the rest of the week.
The blonde Divination Professor had walked through the slight chill the day held on her way down form the Castle and was just turning onto the High Street of the village when she saw a bunch of students...selling things to strangers.
What on earth? She walked over to them, not seeing the new Care of Magical Creatures Professor with them as a chaperon, and spoke to the nearest group.
"What are you all selling?" She tried to look around for the merchandise before jumping to conclusions.

Laura jumped when she saw a Professor speaking. "Were selling, eh were selling eh." Laura wasn't sure what to say she wouldn't be in trouble would she. "Professor I don't have a licence to sell anything, I didn't think I would need one since this was eh." Laura blushed, how was she going to get out of this mess. "Professor, Please don't call the police, I don't want to be sent to Azkaban." Laura had heard really bad things about that place. "I got told to sell Ashwinder eggs and that is what I'm doing Professor, surely nothing wrong with that." Laura looked at the Professor, she wouldn't sent her to Azkaban for doing homework would she.
Okay time to sell these jars! Troy was pretty excited...a little too excited, if I may add. He put on a name tag with his name on it, just so the people passing by would know and most likely remember his name. He also made a sign "For Sale, Ashwinder Eggs" for people to know what exactly his purpose here today was.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls! Step right up to Troy's stand of quality sized, Ashwinder eggs! Step right up, don't be shy!" Troy beamed as he noticed he was getting some reactions from different people walking by.
"Hello ma'am, I'm Troy Hawthorne." He tapped his name tag, while introducing himself to a witch that had approached him. "I'll be your seller today, and if I may add you look lovely." Troy was a little charmer and was using that to his advantage. "These aren't just your ordinary Ashwinder eggs. Oh, no, no, no." Troy shook his head "These are the BEST eggs you're ever going to purchase, for the decent charge of 6 galleons. But since you are my first customer, I'll give it to you for 5 galleons." he put up five fingers. 5 galleons was the actual price, he was just using some good ol' selling/bribing skills on this witch. Troy smiled big, so it could look even more convincing.
"5 galleons, huh?" The adult witch grinned "And these are good quality guaranteed?" she asked.
Troy felt as if he was being tested!
"Troy Hawthorne, gives you his word." Troy nodded and smiled.
"Alright then, I'll take one." The Witched responded positively to Troy's smile and gave him 5 galleons for her purchase of one egg.
"Thank you, Ma'am. Have a nice day!" Troy grinned.

She had only just put the galleons away when she saw Professor Elwood walk up them. The woman looked a bit confused if she thought about it and surprize surprize Laura was making things difficult instead of doing what they were meant to be doing; conning people out of their galleonsselling.
"Hello Professor!"She would answer the woman's question since the Puffer was failing to do so. "We're selling the Ashwinder eggs we harvested in CoMC class, along with some others that the Professor had. Can I interest you in buying one as well? I can give you a special Professor's discount for being so lovely."
And of course there was a sweet smile.
Laura may not have wanted to make money but seeing as they kept all the profits she wasn't about to make someone think she was a potential criminal running a shifty business. Nah. That's how people stayed poor and the castle was already poor so she'd like to start making more money, thanks.
"It'd be really nice if you bought something. There was a horrid man here earlier, he was really rude then left without buying anything and that's just de-motivating."
Nodnodnod.

"Ashwinder eggs! Ashwinder eggs for sale!"
Business was certainly slow but Ella didn't lose hope. She also was still wearing a smile because she got to be in Hogsmeade...as part of a homework assignment. Grin. How cool was that? It was also cool that she'd get to keep whatever she earned so she really wanted to lure some customers over to her.
The blonde was prepared to use the puppy-dog eyes if necessary, okay? They always worked on Alec so why not?
Just then, an older looking man approached where she stood and the blonde observed him curiously. His attention was on the jars she had in front of her so Ella was able to take him in. The dude wore a long dark coat and a extremely interesting top hat. He was like some evil character out of a movie with his outfit and curiously long mustache. The blonde immediately wanted him to buy eggs from her. It'd be her challenge and yes, it was accepted. "Hello there, Sir. Interested in buying some eggs today?" BEAM.
"How much for a jar?" The man grunted, his voice hoarse and his eyebrows raised. He wasn't particularly fond of small talk or the way the young blonde was smiling at him. The man disliked children, especially smiley ones.
Uhhh...unfriendly dude was unfriendly. Ella's smile faded as she watched his body language, guessing he wasn't in the mood for her little cheerful speech on how much his purchase would benefit the students of Hogwarts and how much she'd appreciate his business. Instead she said, "Five galleons for a jar, Sir." And she avoided eye contact with him, pretending to be busy arranging the jars in front of her.
Five galleons was a fair price. The man had expected the child to try and rip him off but really, she was being quite level-headed about pricing her merchandise. He considered it for a moment or two before grumbling. "I'll take a jar." And he shoved the money out towards her. She should take it now before he changed his mind.
He was going to buy a jar! REALLY?! Ella tried really hard not to look too excited and casually picked up a jar, handing it over to him. She then gingerly took his money and chanced a glance at him. "Thank you for your bu-"
Laura was waiting for the Professor to speak when suddenly a guy came upto her,
"Hello young lady, can I ask what you are selling?"
Laura looked at the Professor and then the man, she had to sell even if the Professor told her she was braking the law, it was part of her homework. "Well I'm selling Ashwinder Eggs, 3 Galleons per Jar." Laura gave the guy her sweetest smile, hoping that he would either buy or go away because she wanted to speak to the Professor, even if Alexa was just trying to get the Professor to buy her product.
"3 galleons you say, that sounds like a fair deal." He smiled a the girl and handed her 3 galleons over.
Laura smiled back at the guy and handed him a jar of the Ashwinder eggs over, it wasn't as bad as she thought it would be, she watched as the guy walked off with the eggs. "That Professor is what I'm doing and for you Professor you can have a Jar for 1 Galleon, 11 sickles and 20 knuts." Laura hoped that the Professor would buy from her and not Alexa.
"Yes, Mika...right?" Kurumi replied with a smile. The girl was a Ravenclaw if she recalled, which would partly explain why she was not too familiar with her besides seeing her face at lessons and around the Great Hall while she had still been a student. "5 galleons..." she repeated while rubbing the back of her neck anxiously. She knew Lewis needed them for his stock, but she was also pretty sure that he would give her the look if she spent that much on him. She was the same when it came to him getting her gifts. Not to mention neither of them were full time employed because of schooling. But then she said she was willing to make a deal and her eyes looked up a bit. "Oh? How much of a deal?"
She also didn't want to rob the school and its students.
And then her attention was drawn elsewhere. "Ella! Hey!" she smiled while offering the girl a wave. How much was Ella selling her's for?
Oh! There was more waving going on! Turning her head to see who the waving belong to. "Beezus, hey," she smiled, not exactly returning the wave with the same enthusiasm, but return it nonetheless. "I always have Saturdays off, so I thought I would stop by Hogsmeade since Nessie told me it was a Hogsmeade weekend for you guys."
Blink blink. 4 galleons?
She glanced back over at Mika. "That is...a little more affordable I suppose..."
HOLY CRICKET THAT WAS A LOUD VOICE.
Oh hey! Look who it was. "Hey Jory! How is seventh year?" Although he looked rather busy with his own customers and not really able to have a real conversation. Not that that was bad. They were here to sell things after all.
Charles' grin widened when a young witch came to assist him. Hmmm....there was something familiar about her. Tapping his finger against his chin. "AHA! Penelope Greenwell! Gryffindor! You are friends with my little ray of sunshine," he declared while pointing at the girl right between the eyes. "Make that THREE jars." And he even held up three fingers to make sure there was no misunderstanding.
And just for good measure he leaned over the table and HUG the girl. SUCH A LOVELY YOUNG LADY.
Mika smiled as Kurumi got her name right. That was awesome. She smiled brightly when Kurumi asked about the deal, "Well lets see, three galleons for a jar or lets haggle it out? How much are you willing to spend?" She asked kindly. "After all it does go to a good cause - and" she leaned in and whispered "maybe we won't need to pay to enter the common rooms anymore?" She offered with a shrug.
She was just letting her know things had gotten bad. "But still because you are the raining cooking baking champion in the history of Hogwarts I'd say maybe five galleons and you get two jars?" She offered with a bright smile. It was kurumi after all.

And he even held up three fingers to make sure there was no misunderstanding.
And just for good measure he leaned over the table and HUG the girl. SUCH A LOVELY YOUNG LADY.
He seemed eager to buy, from that grin on his face. Penelope waited for a response over the price...and suddenly had a finger pointing in her face. She went cross-eyed for a moment before her eyes straightened out and focused on him again.
Oh. He knew her too? She was friends with...someone. The Gryffindor quickly wracked her brain for someone who would fit the description of "little ray of sunshine"...but of course, inconveniently, she couldn't properly think of every single person she was friends with off the top of her head. Especially not with this extremely happy guy pointing at her.
That didn't matter though because he was buying three now! Cool! Thank Merlin she was friends with- Whoa!
Blink. He was hugging her. Was this normal?
Penelope awkwardly patted the guy's back a couple times, not really sure what else to do. "Um...yeah. Friends with your...little ray of sunshine. Yeah, she's cool." She was assuming it was a she, at least.. Because...would a dad really call his son little ray of sunshine? "Um. And three jars will be nine galleons." And hugs weren't necessary but...appreciated? Sure.

"Ashwinder eggs! Freshly frozen Ashwinder eggs!" Haruka was on the edge of the street, holding the jar up for people to see as they walked by. "Buy some eggs and help out the school!"
A man stopped and walked over to Haruka. "Help the school?" He repeated. "What's wrong with the school?"
Haruka smiled softly at the man and explained. "Well, it seems that Hogwarts has fallen onto hard times recently. Bit of a financial slump." She took a step closer to the man. "The money make here will end up going back to the school, you see." Haruka forgot to mention that the money would get back to the school by way of the tolls, but this guy didn't need to know that. "So what do you say, sir? Only 5 galleons for a jar?"
The man didn't even seem to hesitate in pulling out his wallet. "Take 6. I'll help out in any way I can." He handed Haruka the money and took the jar.
Haruka smiled brightly at the man's donation and nodded. "Thank you very much, sir. It's appreciated."
Laura jumped when she saw a Professor speaking. "Were selling, eh were selling eh." Laura wasn't sure what to say she wouldn't be in trouble would she. "Professor I don't have a licence to sell anything, I didn't think I would need one since this was eh." Laura blushed, how was she going to get out of this mess. "Professor, Please don't call the police, I don't want to be sent to Azkaban." Laura had heard really bad things about that place. "I got told to sell Ashwinder eggs and that is what I'm doing Professor, surely nothing wrong with that." Laura looked at the Professor, she wouldn't sent her to Azkaban for doing homework would she.

"Hello Professor!"She would answer the woman's question since the Puffer was failing to do so. "We're selling the Ashwinder eggs we harvested in CoMC class, along with some others that the Professor had. Can I interest you in buying one as well? I can give you a special Professor's discount for being so lovely."
And of course there was a sweet smile.
Laura may not have wanted to make money but seeing as they kept all the profits she wasn't about to make someone think she was a potential criminal running a shifty business. Nah. That's how people stayed poor and the castle was already poor so she'd like to start making more money, thanks.
"It'd be really nice if you bought something. There was a horrid man here earlier, he was really rude then left without buying anything and that's just de-motivating."
Nodnodnod.
Woah, woah, woah, WOAH.
Callie's head snapped back as the closest Puff, the Hyde girl began to freak out and think that she would be sent to Azkaban for selling the items a Professor told her to do. A former swindler con business-woman herself, Elwood was not one to rat them out anyways. "Miss Hyde, first things first, as a Professor I don't have the authority to send you to prison and secondly you aren't helping your case if you were doing something illegal and I could." The blonde looked for the eggs that were mentioned but didn't see any.
Before she could ask to see them, because they sounded interesting, Alexa Cambridge joined them and told her the real story. "Ahhh, okay. That's nice. I thought you all might have been...........up to something." She paused and then shook her head though, they had not.
"Lovely?" Callie grinned at the Gryffindor. It was obviously a ploy to get her to buy the eggs but it was a GOOD ONE! "That was just plain mean of him wasn't it Alexa?" The man really shouldn't have been rude to them, they were just kids. "What Professor is helping you all out today?" she the woman asked absentmindedly as she rummaged in her purse for some money.
How much were the eggs? "How much dears? I can buy one from each of you." She could use them for experimental Ovamancy or something.
Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

"Up to something? Not this time, no." Again, if people were dull enough to be suckered then they deserved it and she wouldn't be sorry. "Just running an honest business!' BEAM.
For now she would ignore Laura. The girl obviously had no business sense. None if she was running a potential customer with things that weren't even true.
Oooohhh and she got the woman smiling. Good sign, this one. "Quite lovely." She said with a firm and enthusiastic nod. "And it really was. I think he was only here to make fun of us or something but it doesn't matter I guess, he was one of many." Many, much nicer, people who actually bought things!! GRIN. "We're here with Professor Barlow, the new CoMC Professor." Gfjfvkgfbfgbfl. The Professor was buying as well!!! GRIIIIIIN.
Lex heard Laura's price for the Professor; 1 Galleon, 11 sickles and 20 knuts. Pffffft. That wouldn't get her much candy now would it? "Only 5 galleons, since it's you and you've been such an intriguing Divination Professor. It's a bargain really, I've been selling mine for 10." Half price, seeeeeeee, bargain, a rather painful one at that.

Alistaire Firth strode up High Street, though his stride was inhibited by being bent over against the fierce wind that occasionally gusted and threatened to blow off his scarf. A small gathering caught his eye. Oh, this must be what Peyton set up! Feeling sufficiently warm after the firewhiskey at the Three Broomsticks, he meandered over. Yes, he would be testing these students to see if they knew their stuff.
Eliza was really excited about this Hogsmeade trip. She'd even drawn up a little sign to hopefully help her sell her Ashwinder eggs. Since there were a lot of students in the class and only so many shoppers...it only made sense to draw attention to herself. She wanted to earn some money for school and maybe, if she made enough, she could start saving for a kneazle!
Now for the hard part. Speaking loudly and trying to get people to pay attention to you. Here goes nothing, she thought.
"Ashwinder Eeeggggs! Come and get them!" She looked around the rows of tables, hoping to be noticed. "Just hatched the other day! Great for potions!"
A tall, thin man slowly approached the tables, perusing the students' wares. His hands in his pockets, he did not seem to be ready to buy anything.
Maybe with some coaxing, he might? she thought and put on a big smile. "Hello sir! Would you like to buy some Ashwinder Eggs? They're really great for potions and curing ague. Not that you look ill, but you can never be too safe, right?" She grinned and held a jar up for him to inspect.
He chuckled at her poor salesmanship. Feeling sorry for her, he took the jar and looked at the eggs. "These look very fresh indeed." He turned the jar over in his slender hands. Surely he could find a use for these eggs eventually. They were frozen after all, or immobilized rather. "How much are they, Miss?" he asked kindly.
He was starting to look interested. Maybe he'll really buy some!! She watched him look at the jar, the eggs tumbling on top of each other inside. "Oh! How much? Well, sir, how does..." She was going to quote him the full five, but he was so nice, she decided to lower it. "Four galleons?"
The man turned them over once more and raised them with a shake, to show he'd take them. The girl's price wasn't too high, and he could spare a few coins today. "That sounds perfect, Miss. Thank you very much." He counted out the coins and sat them on her table. "You take care now," he said in parting, smiled at her, and went on is way.
Her first sale. I did it! Someone really bought these things! Awesome! She smiled brightly back at him and waited to scoop up the money until he had passed along. "Thank you very much!" she said to him as he turned to leave.
