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.

"Ashwinder eggs! Come and get them!"
Ella was going to lose her voice after this, she just knew it. It was worth it, though. She tapped her pocket where her galleons were and smiled a little. The blonde was definitely not horrible at the selling eggs stuff so it shouldn't be too hard to get another customer, right? Right.
Oh! And here was Mr. Firth! The sixteen year old smiled and turned her attention to him.
SPOILER!!: Firth

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.
Aw, wasn't she just precious! So surprised by his gesture of kindness. Why, he was sure that his little sparkling apple pie had given the girl countless hugs. He was simply keeping the Hollingberry tradition alive since clearly his little sunspot was not here now.
"Yes. My little ray of suuuuuuuuunshine," he said while giving her a little squeeze and then letting the young lady go. "She told me that you were one of her favorite people to give cookies to." Which was really saying something considering just how many cookies the child gave out. "AND OH! BEFORE I FORGET! BLESS YOUR LOVELY SOUL FOR GIVING HER COOKIES! BLESS YOU CHILD!"
And another hug was given. A bigger one too. Possibly picked her up just a tad.
"9 it is," he chimed as he handed over the appropriate amount of coins.

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.

The Sixth year smirked a bit and wasted no time as she quickly packed the jar of six Ashwinder eggs into a paper bag. She even had paper bags, what do you know? She had secured those beforehand because she wanted everything to be all business-y. She was even ready to go a receipt if her customers asked for one. Hehe. "Here you go, Kurumi." Beezus handed the paper bag to the former Gryffindor. "That will be four galleons." But if she wanted to add another galleon because she was impressed with Beezus' convincing powers, then she was more than welcome to do so.
Any more customers out there? The Castell still had more jars to sell.
Kurumi began to squirm uncomfortably just a bit. She didn't want to disappoint either of the two, but she only had so many galleons she could spend. Thankfully Jory took her attention away for a bit. "Glad to see you are doing well," she giggled. Almost too well. Had he always been this happy? And then her features were overcome with a rosy hue. "We are good," she managed to squeak out. "Lewis has classes today so he couldn't make it, but he told me to say hello to everyone." So hello, Jory. From Lewis.
And now she was back to her dilemma. Mika WAS offering her a great deal, but the issue wasn't how many eggs, it was the galleons. Yes, she WAS getting more eggs for her money...but...and then Beezus was offering her and practically already selling her eggs for 40 galleons.
She hated confrontation. SO much.
"Mika, I appreciate it, I really do....but I can't let you sell me two jars for that price...." Especially considering what they usually went for. It was sort of counterproductive in her mind in terms of profits. "....sorry....."
And since Beezus had practically gift wrapped her jar, Kurumi handed over the 4 galleons somewhat timidly.

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite
While talking to the Professor she noticed a creepy man approach and start staring intently at the jars. From the corner of her eyes she was watching this creeper. Yeah, creeper, because he was wearing a long black cloak and a hood over his head. Don't tell her she was the only one giving him weird eyes
The eyes turned to her giving him her full attention when he picked up a jar she hadn't opened for sale as yet.
"Can I help you sir?"
He gave the little girl a long stare before returning his gaze to the jar. Ashwinder eggs...he'd been looking for these...needed some too. "Yes, I'll take the whole jar please."
Whaaaaaa? NO. Absolutely not. A jar could only be sold for 5 galleons, she got waaaay more selling them individually. Besides, creeper people made it harder for her to want to sell them anything. She gave him a suspicious look over. "Why? It's a lot you know." Why six? Hm? Hm? Hmmm?
"What does that matter?" He continued in a scratchy voice. "Name your price and I'll pay it."
"Yeah but see, that's the problem. It's only 5 galleons, I want money so you need to...oh I dunno, NOT buy the whole thing. I could give you three, 6 galleons each but I'd much rather sell you 2 for 8 that way I still make a decent profit and you get some eggs." And he got a look too. No. Way. She wanted galleons.
"Look kid, I'm in a bit of a hurry, just let me buy the jar."
"But I'd really rather you just buy a few." She insisted. Her eyes fell to his hand in time to see him briefly touch his wand before releasing it and clearing his throat. "You wouldn't use that on me." She said with a level of confidence only found in a Gryffindor unfortunately. "There's tons of students here as witnesses plus Professors and others. You'd be caught before you could even--"
He just said he was in a hurry. He made that rather clear. Why was she still talking? With a heavy sigh, he pulled several galleons from his pocket and smacked them on the table then took the jar and disappeared into the crowd. Children. No wonder he didn't like them.
"HEY!!" She called after him. Lex looked briefly to the table and counted the galleons he'd dropped. Only 10?! Sure that was twice as much as the jar cost but she could have gotten MORE if he hadn't made off with the whole bloody jar!! "Someone stop him! Thief!!!!"...."Wait no, he didn't steal them but he was being CHEAP!!!!" Why wasn't anyone stopping him??? She WANTED more galleons!!!!!!!!!
Uuuugggggghhhhhhhhh.

Oh, someone was talking to him already! They must be a terrific salesperson to have gotten hold of him so quickly. Now, who was it? There were lots of students here.... Oh, the Hufflepuff Captain!
"Ashwinder eggs, eh? An' tell me, what good will they be doin' me?" In other words, you better sell your goods Bishop. This customer wasn't just going to make a donation.

"Settle down there, Lex," Mo dropped more jars of eggs heavily on the table and arranged them in neat rows across the front. It was just tidier that way and made it look like they had loads of stock available. Which... they kind of did. Mo moved even more eggs to the front of the table and stacked a few jars into a glittering pyramid.
"STEP RIGHT UP, FOLKS. Genuine Ashwinder eggs for sale, going to a great cause," Mo picked up a jar and waved it over Lex's head, smiling his big grinny smile at those who meandered past. No takers yet, but it was early days. "Remember that you're not just buying eggs. You're keeping me from becoming a homeless bum by providing an education!" An older woman who may have been slowing down immediately sped up and disappeared around the corner. Spoilsport.
He spotted his sister's friend and neighbor just down the table, and Mo jostled his way down to say hello. "'lo, Kurumi. I heard that you were sending people cookies, only you haven't sent any to me and I was wondering if it's because you're mad about me dressing up Walnut, but I HAD to dress up Walnut so that Titus wouldn't be uncomfortable. It is SUCH a burden to have a bunny with self-esteem issues, but I'm an excellent bunny papa. Are you buying eggs?"

Grin. "Yup, Ashwinder eggs." Nearly fresh out of the forest, actually. The blonde chose to not mention poor Ghost, the layer of said eggs. Oh and Mr. Firth had questions? Luckily enough, Ella had answers. She was well versed in all things Ashwinder by now.
"Well, Ashwinder eggs just so happen to be ingredients in many potions, y'now." Mhm, they were. "Most notably the Love potions, though I'm sure a man like yourself wouldn't need a potion to help with that." Too much? Eh. Complimenting the customer couldn't hurt. "They can also be consumed if, say, you came down with a terrible case of Ague." Yup. She'd read that too.
"They could make lovely gifts too. Y'know, for your colleagues around the holidays. Surely Professor Lafay or maybe even Healer Tillstorm would appreciate them."
You have bewitched me body and soul, And I love- I love- I love you
Tired. Mackenzie was TIRED. But she put on her best smiling face to get this over with. She knew that she could keep any money she made, so that was an incentive. So much so that she had made a sign to hold.
SPOILER!!: SIGN :D
Talking to strangers had really never been her thing. Her grandparents had taught her at a very young age that talking out of turn was a bad thing.
So this was not her ideal homework assignment. Sigh Holding her sign, while standing away from the others slightly she smiled shyly as witches and wizards walked past, none noticing the lonely girl standing to herself.

And since Beezus had practically gift wrapped her jar, Kurumi handed over the 4 galleons somewhat timidly.
N'awww. Kurumi didn't have to apologize to Mika. At least that was what Beezus thought. She was only going for the one where she wouldn't be running out of galleons but would still pass up as a great deal.
Lookit. Kurumi was handing her out the four galleons now. Beezus accepted the money and grinned at the older girl before giving her a two-finger salute. "Thanks Kurumi. I still have many jars of eggs right here and we might even be able to talk prices out if you ever want to buy more." Hehe.
"Excuse me, young miss...are you selling Ashwinder eggs?" The man of 32 asked with a warm smile on his face. He had been to the Apothecary a few days ago but they've ran out of stock of that ingredient and he needed almost a dozen of those for the potion that he was brewing.
Beezus' attention was then caught by a man who speaking to her. Classic Beezus smile on. "Hello sir. Yes...these are Ashwinder eggs. Freshly frozen too. Would you like to buy a jar? Six eggs for five galleons." Beaming, she started to lift a jar on top of the table to show him.
Six eggs for five galleons, eh? He supposed each jar contained six eggs. Perfect. "All right. I would take two jars." He nodded and rummaged in his pocket and then pulled out a good ten galleons for the two jars. He handed it out to the girl.
Two jars! "Of course. Let me just wrap it up for you, sir." Quickly, the brunette got to work and into the paper bag the two jars went and then she carefully handed it out to the man as she received the payment. "Thank you for buying sir. And have a good day!"
If business was going to run this smoothly, then yes...it was going to be a good day for her too.

Having set up her stand, Alice was quiet and not yelling like the others. She figured that if people wanted to buy Ashwinder eggs and things, they'd come to HER instead of waiting to be screamed at. In her opinion, her jars looked interesting enough to get noticed, seeing as she'd used Colovaria on them to attract attention and all. And then there was just the fact that SHE was the one selling them, and the fifth year just exuded awesome, so customers were going to come pretty soon. Hopefully.
The whole thing was being taken rather seriously, too, see? She even had her good egg hat on, it was so important.
Alice SAW all these people. Before anyone. And she gave looks around to anyone else who showed any notice of claiming them as their customers, because dibs, okay? But no one seemed to care. So she just kept shooting the passers-by expectant looks, even going so far as to clear her throat rather loudly when people were near, waiting for adults to approach her stand (preferably with money, if that needed to be specified).
Because they would, wouldn't they?

This was...almost kinda funny now. Heh. Penelope grinned.

Sweet Merlin, she was even being lifted slightly. "Oh, er...it was no problem." What else really could you say to that? And could we be put back down?
Thank Merlin.
Now the money. "Thank you." She accepted the galleons with a smile, then pushed three of the jars of ashwinder eggs toward him. They were all his now.

While arranging her jars she noticed a creepy woman approach staring like she was going to take a jar... Weird apparel to a bright pink cloak with mismatched socks and shoes... Who kept looking behind her shoulders.
Was this lady okay? "Can I help you ma'am?"
She gave the little girl a long stare before pointing a long bony finger towards one of the jars.
Nerida smiled and said "Five galleons for a jar." She waited for the woman to respond before moving on.
"Ill take one." As the woman was reaching into a rainbow bag, someone came up behind her and said "Grandma, we were supposed to stay in the store together. You dont need anymore ashwinder eggs...The doctor said no more now you say it too." The woman gave a dirty look to her grandson and quitely said "No more."
"Sorry for my grandmother, we will be on our way now." the man said as he took his grandmother's arm and walked her away.
Nerida said "No its okay, thank you."

Kace already had two attempts at selling his eggs. He still have 4 more jars to go. He wondered how bad it could be. "Alright Kace back to work, keep your charm on. You can do this." he thought to himself. Then he noticed a feeble old woman approach him.
"Hello mam! Are you interested in buying Ashwinder eggs?" he asked her and showed her the jar.
"Oh i wish i could see the jars. Here son just let me feel them." she offered and held out her hand for the jar.
Oh wow she was blind? Kace was very inconsiderate but then again he couldn't have known. She seemed like a normal old woman.
"Oh i am very sorry ma'am, here you go." he said moving the jar towards her hands.
"So you say Ashwinder eggs huh sonny?" she asked with a smile. "How much are you looking to get for them?" she asked sweetly. "My husband and I have been looking for some for a long time." she said opening the jar and feeling the eggs.
"I am asking for 5 galleons for the jar." he said nodding toward the jar, not like she could see....
"Oh wow...that is a bargain compared to other stores i have been to. These are very rare. Where did you manage to get them?" she asked him in awe.
"Oh well these are from our class, we had to follow the Ashwinder into the forest and then get the eggs. It was no biggie actually." he shrugged and grinned.
"You got yourself a deal sonny." she said as she reached and felt in her purse for 5 galleons. "Here you go and do not spend it all in one place." she said and placed two hands on him.
"Thank you so much!" he smiled to her. "You will not regret it!" he called after her, after she waved and carried her jar of eggs back to her home.
Huh...she was so sweet...for a blind old woman that is.
"Aswhinder eggs! Buy you own Ashinder eggs’! Fresh eggs!" Sonea smiled at a women with a small child and walked toward her. "Miss, do you want to buy this Ashwinder egg from me?" Sonea showed her the jar she was holding with the Aswhinder egg and smiled her most friendly smile at the women.
Miss: "I'm sorry, but i don't need one".
The women wanted to walk further but Sonea tried it again. "Miss, i have a special price for you if you want to buy it for me! I will sell it to you for only 5 galleons! That is a good price for this egg, normally they are not this cheap and you will never find one again who is so cheap as this one!" Sonea tried to charm the women but she saw that it not worked...
Miss: I'm sorry, but i don't need one.
The woman sounded annoyed because Sonea had tried to sell her the egg again and walked quickly away from her.

Taking her jar of eggs, Kurumi tried to fit it in her bag and grumbled to herself about not charming it before coming here. Sigh.
"I think just the one jar will be enough," she laughed. "Lewis doesn't use them too often in his potions, but thanks." Now to just make sure that Walnut didn't find the jar and knock it over.

Waving bye to Beezus, Kurumi was just about to turn around and head towards Honeydukes when she heard a familiar voice. Oh, look. Vivi's little brother. Smiling at him, she figured she could put off her other shopping for now and chit chat a little. "Oh, um, I think Selina may have eaten the ones that were meant to be sent to you." Maybe her and Vivi had claimed the box for themselves as dessert after their take-out Chinese?
Ah. Yes. Walnut. "I should be the one apologizing to you since, you know, he peed on you." Even though she felt that the act of peeing was justified this time around. Honesly, who put a cape on a kneezle? A cape among other things. "Just bought some from Beezus," she nodded, feeling a little guilty that she hadn't seen him earlier and bought eggs from him. "You should make Vivi and Selina come down and buy from you." Especially Selina, right? Quidditch player salary and all that.

Did everyone hear that? DID EVERYONE HEAR WHAT THIS DARLING LITTLE GRYFFINDOR HAD JUST SAID?! Oh he could just hug her again, but he made himself stop.
"Thaaaaaaaaaaank you and good luck selling the rest of your ashwinder eggs," he said with a wave as his three jars were placed delicately in his bag. And with one last glittering smile, he was off.

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.
Laura looked at the Professor and gave her the biggest smile ever. "1 Galleon, 11 sickles and 20 knuts" Laura said truthfully. "That's the best discount ever and I'm only doing it because your one of the greatest Professor to have ever worked at Hogwarts." Laura said truthfully as she took out one of the Jars that she had stored under her desk, she didn't want them to be stolen so they were hidden until someone wanted one.

Clement had set up his stand, but just watched the others for a few moments first. He figured he'd let them sell out, before he sold any of his. It made sense really. Then the customers would want to come to him. He did this for about five minutes, before he actually got bored himself. Well then. He'd get started. He didn't want to be too bored. He shuffled his jars around a little, before glancing around. There wasn't too many people around, so he figured he'd wait till there were more people around. It didn't take long before a few more adults were wandering down the street. Perfect. "Ashwinder eggs for sale." He began yelling, not too loud though, because he didn't really want to scream his head off. Then he'd have a bit of a sore throat.
The adults seemed to be able to see that they were selling anyway, because they were coming over. Clement smiled at a lady that approached his stand. "Hello. Would you like to buy some ashwinder eggs? Freshly frozen. 5 galleons a jar." Because he'd done them himself.
"Ahh. That seems a good deal" The woman nodded, digging into her hand back before pulling her purse out, and handing 5 galleons over to Clement
"Thank you." The slytherin nodded, pocketing the 5 galleons, before he handed over a jar to the lady. Well. That was his first sale. Good going Clement.

Yeah, so Sky wasn't wasting any time in getting right down to the business of attracting attention to herself and her booth. She cast a impervious charm around her booth to keep the cold air away, then shucked off her coat revealing the top underneath. "ASHWINDER EGGS, FIVE GALLEONS! FIVE GALLEONS FOR ASHWINDER EGGS! GET 'EM BEFORE THEY'RE GONE!" That should get people's attention, right?
What was that? Why was that girl shouting? And shouldn't she be in school instead of shilling Ashwinder eggs? But then Houston remembered what he'd read in the Daily Prophet just that morning. About Hogwarts' being robbed. He'd shaken his head at that piece of information the same way he was shaking his head about this scene that he was now seeing. Because now that he was actually looking, he could see that this girl wasn't the only one out selling. So the school was making the students do their dirty work.
He approached the booth the yelling girl was at. "I'll take one, Ms...... Insert name here.
"Carter-Hope. That'll be five galleons, please," she replied, holding her hand out for the coins. Yeah, she wasn't going to hand the man a jar until he paid. She wasn't a Hufflepuff after all.
Houston had to chuckle at the girl. Clever one, wasn't she? He dug out his wallet and counted five gold coins. Placing them in the girl's hand, he then waited for her to place the jar in his hand. Once she did, he added a Good luck, kid," and walked off with his newly purchased jar of Ashwinder eggs. That he really didn't need.
"Yeah sure, dude." Weirdo. Oh well, one jar down, four more to go.
"ASHWINDER EGGS! GET YOUR ASHWINDER EGGS......!"

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.
Dylan...wasn't too siked about spending some of the Hogsmeade weekend selling eggs. Truth be told, if it were up to him, he'd had personally keep all the ashwinder eggs for himself...and count them as money saved. Surely the Slytherin would find potions to used them in...or just use them for experimentation. There was that, too.
When he got to the center with everyone else, they'd already set up and he was just left to stare at all that they were doing. Did this mean he'd need to make sales pitches, too? That wasn't the line of work Dylan wanted to do...What did THAT matter?
Ugh. Why was he complaining so much? Ergh.
Of course, he had his bag with him...five jars of eggs carefully nestled down into it...He was already pulling his wand to conjure a table when the Captain caught sight of his newly renamed Chaser. Odessa.
"Mate, share a table with me?" It was a question, of course. Dylan didn't want to invade the younger boys space...just in case. They'd had a talk and all was well now...but one could never know about these things. Also, was sharing tables allowed? He had no idea...
...and why were the jars covered? He pondered all these things.

Minerva walked with the rest of the class to the tables in Hogsmeade. She was not very thrilled to have to do this. Not that she didn't think it was interested in the lesson or the class, but selling things to people made her feel a little awkward.
Standing at the table she watched as other students jumped right into selling. What were they suppose to say, how do you approach people to do this. Minerva just wasn't sure. She watched as some of the nonHogwart people started coming over, would they wonder why students were selling things? But it was an good learning experience and Minerva never backed away from learning something new.
Seeing a woman coming up near her, Minerva decided to try. Taking a deep breath she gave her best smile, "Good morning Ma'am, we are selling Ashwinder eggs for a class project. Would you be interested?" Well it wasn't screaming, but it was a nice way to get someone to buy them, right?
The sighing was increasingly occurring by the time Ab and his granddaughter made it to the main street. The girl would not. Stop. Talking. For. A. Minute. Now he knew why her mother preferred her to stay over at his and learn more about something called 'SILENCE'. Only Botros was not one to dampen a youth's spirit. He just pretended to listen some times. Other times he would point out something interesting which cause the twenty one years old to shift the topic to that something, and a new cycle began. There was no escape.
Well, there was! "Oh look! My students are... here!" He spoke quickly, cutting the girl mid-sentence.
"..and then I said, 'no, you didn't' but she wouldn't believe me! And she said, yeah, I-- hmm?" Marci was in the middle of an explanation about why her outfit was incomplete today. Grandpa must've noticed the awful bare top of her head, she caught him looking at her several times as they walked down this village and she just couldn't handle NOT telling him. He had to know about Stephanie and her bratty attitude, the girl was so over-spoiled with a capital O. She even reached the exciting point where he'd know how Marci knew that Stephanie was the last one who borrowed her beret and ruined it! Oh but no worries, there was some kind of rally here!
"Are those your students, papa? They look... hardworking. Isn't it weekend in England at this time? I'm sure it is. I checked. OH. Did I tell you that mom got me this weird calender thingie? It just automatically reminds me of the date, just like a rememberall but fancier. I asked her if they had golden ones with stars, but she didn't answer yet. I don't like this owling thing, it takes ages." Marci made a gesture for her Grandpa as in 'excuse me' and skipped down the line of tables and unkempt students screaming about Ashwinder eggs.
"HI!" She chirped to no one in particular, just ALL of them. She had money! And she liked collecting weird things! besides, grandpa said Hoggie was in a financial crisis and students were trying to help their school. Marci was nothing if not a helper to the unfortunate.

Oooh. A person. Well a girl in particular. And she seemed pretty chirpy. Maybe she would want to buy one of his jars of Ashwinder eggs. If only the bloke who clearly didn't want to buy his jars would walk off. Ahh. Finally. Now he could try and get this girl to buy a jar of his Ashwinder eggs. "Heyy." The sixth year beamed at the girl. He figured he needed to try and act happy happy and she would want to buy his eggs. They were the best eggs ever. Although they were the same as everyone elses, so probably didn't stand out too much. He smiled at her.
"Would you like to buy some ashwinder eggs?" He murmured, with a smile, picking up one of the jars, and holding it in his hand. She could take a lot if he wanted. "5 galleons for a jar." So it wasn't that bad of a deal really. Come on laddy. Trying to earn a living here. Or you know. Get some money so he could eat and sleep.

Minerva waited as the lady looked up at her. She wasn't sure what else to say, so she just repeated herself. "Hello, would you like to buy some Ashwinder eggs?"
"Well this is very interesting, a group of students out selling stuff. The school gotten that bad?"The woman chuckled and then eyed the jars, "How much are you selling them for?"
Well at least she was nice, Min thought, "Oh umm..." how much were they selling them for again? Oh she was horrible at this, then it hit her, "There 5 galleons a jar." Yes, that was it, right? Oh goodness she hoped it was at least.
The woman stood thinking about it, but in the end she smiled, "I will take a jar" pulling at her purse and opening it, the woman handed the girl the 5 galleons.
Smiling Minerva took the money and handed the woman her jar, "Thank you and have a wonderful day." That sounded odd, didn't it. Minerva shook her head at herself as the woman walked away.

Theo was a little behind during the walk to Hogsmeade. He was thinking of strategies of selling, and he definitely already had ideas.
He made his way over to West, because of course, but he was already taken by Dylan. Oh. Theo made a sulky face, then set up a table all on his own. Jealous much? The Slytherin laid out his jar filled with three eggs on the table then paused for a moment to think about how he was going to position it all.
How did everyone have customers already?????!
He pulled out his homemade sign from his bag and laid it upright so that it faced the crowd. 15 sickles each seemed reasonable, since he knew they were more expensive than that in the shops. So obviously, people would go to him for a cheaper deal. See? Theo knew things. He felt a little awkward about shouting at people walking past, so he just stood up straight and beamed at everyone, casually pointing to his sign whenever anyone looked over.

Sarah was nervous about this, who would want to buy from her? Sarah heard what the others were asking for theres and she thought theres was overpriced. Who would want to pay 5 galleons for ashwinder eggs? Sarah would never do it herself.
She then casted sonorus. "Buy a jar of Ashwinder eggs, Help Hogwarts and its all for four galleons" Sarah said. She was smiling,as her mother always said that she looked pretty when she smiled, and it was a great way to make people's day and attract customers.
She looked at the students selling, her grandson was home sick with ague and she knew that only ashwinder eggs will relieve the symptoms. Poor Tommy, he had a bad case, chills and all. Yet Madame Gizelle would only go for the best bargain, that was the way she did things. Then she saw a lovey with a grand smile, it made Madame Gizelle smile to match. She walked over to the table, "how much do you want deary for that?" she said. Even if it was not a bargain the girl had such a sweet smile she could not reesist.
Sarah smiled even more, "that will be four galleons a jar! They are fine quality eggs" Sarah assured her.
"I am sure they are, my grandson has ague and I know these will help. Here is four galleons" she said rummaging in her robes for the money with her shaky hands (she was an old woman already). She handed her things over to that sweet girl.
Sarah felt bad for the boy, having malaria is not fun. She took the payment and handed over the jar in exchange. "I am so sorry for him. i hope he feels better! Have a great day! Thank you for your support!" Sarah said.
"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.
Oh Professor Barlow! Callie hadn't really talked much with the new Professor yet but it seemed she was doing well already at the school planning field trips to the village and all that.
"Oh I see that now." That she wasn't trying to do something wrong, she was just working like she was supposed to. Nothing wrong with that. She finally found her money purse inside her bag and listened to the Gryffindor's price. She had heard some others nearby saying lower prices but the girl had been so kind.
And they were on sale. "Five Galleons it is then." She set the five fat, gold coins into the girl's hand.

Laura on the other hand was really selling her eggs for a bargain.
Because the girl had suggested the price herself, Calista didn't feel bad only paying that much for the egg compared to Alexa's price. She gave the correct coins to the Hufflepuff.
