Skye walked up to the counter with her lavender Pygmy Puff on her shoulder and a cage in hand. The Pygmy Puff was brushing against her cheek softly so she giggled and took the Puff in her hand to think of a name. She would just call it Lavender. It was simple, yet it fit her furry little friend perfectly. She waited for the shopkeeper to call her to the counter.

Penny walked up to the counter with the little purple Pygmy Puff on her shoulder - a cute little cage for him aswell...

Joining the queue, she couldn't help but admire the little guy... he really was very cute

Natalie walked to the desk and put down what she wanted to buy, a box of fever fudge, a box of puking pastilles and a box of Guaranteed Ten-Second Pimple Vanisher. she blushed as she put that on the counter. "so how much is all of this?" she asked.

Anna made her way to the front counter and patiently waited in line. After looking at all of the gags she wanted to buy she ended up keeping her love potion and two pairs of extendable ears. She daydreamed while waiting in line when she was busy looking around the lively store.

Upon walking past a shop that seemed to sell joke products, Arlo had decided he would take a look around and maybe buy some of the items there if he thought he might find them useful.

Sure enough, half an hour or so later he had several things in his hands and had decided to head to the counter before he bought anything else.

He had a box of fainting fancies, a boy of fever fudge, a box of muggle magic tricks, three bags of hiccup sweets and two packs of extendible ears as he was sure he would end up losing them if he thought he needed them. He was now waiting to pay.

"Aw that's a cute Pygmy Puff you got there" said a nervous first year. "Hello, my name is Anna." she said happily shaking the girls hand. "Is this your first year at Hogwarts too?" she asked the young Gryffindor girl.

Reaching the counter, Louisa stood for a second appreciating the messy stuff behind the shopkeeper's head before trying to catch her attention, "Hi, would you please see what those are for?" She placed the products on the counter, "Oh and could I get a Shield Cloak?"

Skye turned around and smiled at the other girl who looked like a first year also. "Oh, thank you. And yea, this is also my first year. My name is Skye." She said, shaking her hand and smiling at her once again.

"Aw that's such a lovely name!" Anna said happily to Skye after shaking her hand. "Are you excited for Hogwarts? I am! Did your parents go there?" she asked the girl curiously.

"Yea, they went there..." Skye said, smiling at the girl once again. Man, she was smiling alot. She just shrugged slightly to herself and glanced up to look at the little Pgymy Puff that was now falling asleep on her shoulder. Awww. So cute!

"Oh awesome! My parents went their too! My father was a wizard and my mum was a muggle, she was a bit shocked when she got her letter. They both met their first year in Hufflepuff but they didn't date until their fifth. Mum was head girl and father was keeper for quidditch team since his fourth year. What about your parents? What house were they in?" Anna asked curiously then her eyes trailed to the adorable pgymy puff and petted its head.

It had been quite some time since she had last been in her shop, things had been changed here and there, some noticeable and some less so. The place appeared more chaotic to her than ever before, in a bad sort of way, products rearranged and nothing where she'd left it last, and though the lost time and clean up process ahead in more ways than one were certainly on her mind, Artemis couldn't have been happier to be home and where she belonged, in Diagon Alley with Brett and her friends, taking care of her shop alongside her trusty four-legged friend.

Exiting the backroom, Artie's navy blue eyes looked over the line of children waiting for her in front of the counter, bringing a growing smile to her lips as she quickly made her way to slip behind the counter. The great yellow labrador retriever followed faithfully by her side, tail wagging as they past several children.
"Hello, dears. Did you find everything you were looking for?" Artie asked, offering a warm smile to the pair as she searched around a little bit behind her counter, looking for the bags. Those had been moved too, apparently. The half-Greek woman paused in her movements, standing still while observant eyes scanned her work area until she finally found them. "Sorry about that. Will this be all for you?" The shopkeeper added, returning to the two girls after collecting and moving the bags back to where they should have been, and bagging the items the young girls had set on the countertop. Once finished, Artie slid the bag toward them on the counter. "If so, that'll be 9 galleons, 5 sickles."
It was nice to see despite her absence, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes still seemed as popular and busy as ever. Brushing a lock of dark hair from her face, Artemis waved the next little customer forward. "Hello," she greeted with a bright smile, fishing out a bag and placing the items inside once they were set on the countertop for her, calculating the prices in her head as she went. She didn't fail to notice the instant darkness powder, which should have been in the back room rather than on shelves. Artie resisted a frown. She really had a lot of work ahead of her. But for now, back to the children waiting to buy their new toys and such. "Your total comes to 5 galleons and 14 sickles, unless there's something else you need?"
Another pair of young children. Artemis smiled warmly in greeting, "Hello. Will that be all?" as she bagged up the purchases, putting the Headless Hats in last. "That'll be 8 galleons and 8 sickles."
Artie couldn't help but notice that so far, no one had brought up any pygmy puffs, which were usually selling so fast she should be concerned there weren't going to be any left in the pen by the end of the day. That is, until the next young girl approached the counter, holding one of the little furr creatures and a few other objects. "Hello," Artemis greeted, "How can I help you?"
And two more. Artemis noted the young girls and their pygmy puffs, waving both children up to the counter, she offered a friendly smile. "Hello, girls. What can I do for you?"
The children seemed more quiet and shy than the last time she had actually been around to look after her shop, maybe because they were a new bunch of kids to Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, or maybe not. Artie wasn't entirely sure, but didn't really have a moment to be too overly concerned. Hopefully, though, if any of them became regular summer customers she would get them to warm up to seeing her.

Glancing over the counter at the thinning crowd, Artemis' dark, navy bleu eyes came back to rest on the young face in front of her, a gentle smile forming on her lips. "Your total comes to 2 galleon and 7 sickles," She answered, putting the boxes of gag sweets into a bag followed by the tube of pimple vanisher and sliding it over the counter to the young girl. Adding in a softer tone, referring to the last product that had caused the hint of pink in the child's face, "And I wouldn't worry about that so much. It's a normal part of growing up, you'll still be a pretty young girl with or without hiding that."
"Hello there, come right up please," Artemis gestured for the next person waiting in line to approach the counter. "What can I do for you?"

"Hello young man," Artemis greeted warmly, waiting for him to set the items down on the counter before setting to work with putting it all into a bag. Pausing as she set the last bag of hiccup sweets inside, the brunette turned to scan the counter, grabbing her wand when she spotted it and giving the bag a light tap to lighten the weight. "Feather light," She commented with a smile, glancing back up at the young boy as she set the bag down in front of him. "That'll be 6 galleons and 4 sickles."
Feeling Jinx's head bump her hand, Artemis' attetion shifted onto the large dog sitting at her feet for a moment before returning to the young girl setting a couple of things down on the counter. "Hello," Artie replied in greeting, though a slightly puzzled look crossed her features at the question. Did she mean that as in, what did they do? What they were intended for? Or.. "Come again, dear? And sure thing, that'll come to 3 galleons and 6 sickles. I'll be right back with your sheild cloak," Using a bit of magic, the shopkeeper gave a little wave of her wand to enchant a bag to fill itself with the dungbombs and hiccup sweets while she quickly excused herself to retrieve an item from the back room, leaving Jinx, the large labrador retriever to watch from behind the counter.

Penny smiled at the Lady, she seemed to radiate happiness... "Hello, Uhm, I would like to buy this little Pygmy Puff and cage please", she said removing the Puff from her shoulder, and placing the cage on the counter..

"And I was also wondering if you had any leaflets on the proper care of Pygmy Puffs, as I'm buying this one for my sister, it's her birthday nest Tuesday", Penny finished.

Anna walked nervously to the counter and placed her love potion and 2 pairs of extendable ears on it. "How much should this cost?" she asked the nice shopkeeper.

Eris walked up to the counter looking over her shoulder as though she was expecting someone. Her mother was still off collecting her school books for her first year at school...and knowing her mother that was going to take just enough time for Eris to sneak some prank items into her cauldron.

With a smile and excitement at such a buy flashing in her blueish-grey eyes, the vertically challenged witch addressed the shop keeper.

"I would like a variety bag of the collection..." the small girl smiled upwards. Long dark hair cascaded past her shoulders, but if it wasn't for that she might have been confused for a young boy, her body's frame leading many to believe such.

i need a cage!

Alice quickly walked up to the counter as she was greeted. Good afternoon ma'am! I'd like to pay for this here fuzz-ball.." she held up the squirming puff.. "and these three decoy detonators.. I'm VERY excited to have found a mottled purple/blue pygmy here! You don't come across them too often.. You see, I actually breed pygmies myself and hope to create a blue one at some point.. But, that probably won't occur for a while. I'd love to speak to the Weasley's about their pygmy puff breeding regime.. Perhaps they'd be interested in some new Pygmy designs!" she laughed. She placed the pygmy, the cage and the three detonators on to the counter. "So what's the damage? she grinned.

Louisa blushed, "I meant their price, yes." meh, that Adam boy falling on her did something to her head, no doubt. The girl nodded as the shopkeeper excused herself to get the cloak. And meanwhile, Louisa was counting her money on the counter. "Six galleons.." she dragged the coins to one side. And now her ever problem with sickles. She didn't have ANY! Only knuts. meh. And she started to count... her attention was sometimes driven away by the large dog. He seemed... watchful. What did he think she was cheating or something? With a sharp look at him, the girl shifted her eyes back to her Knuts and continued to count. She should be done by the time the shopkeeper was here. Hopefully.

Arlo smiled at her, "Hello Miss," he said to her as he placed the items down (or rather, let them half-fall out of his arms, given that he had quite a few things). He nodded as she told him the price, taking out some of his money and counting out the right amount. He never had been brilliant at counting, even with his own normal currency back in Italy, so he always liked to make sure he handed over the right amount. "Is this right?" he asked, handing the 6 galleons and 4 sickles to her. He had never been allowed to really handle money back home so it was a bit strange for him to be paying for things now.

Orchid approached the counter with a smile on her face, a pigmy puff - correction - her pigmy puff on her shoulder, a cage in her left hand, and everything else in her right arm; which included seven edible dark marks, two extendable ears, two patented daydream charms, four hiccup sweets, five non-explodable luminous ballons, and two mad-eye treatments.
"Hello. I'd like to purchase all of this, I was also wondering where is the Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder? I heard someone mention it and I couldn't find it anywhere in the store." She said now with a confused look on her face.

Skye stepped up to the counter, her Pygmy Puff still on her shoulder as she set the cage down. "I need an Extendable Ear... And then that will be it!" She said, smiling as she took a bag of galleons, sickles, and other various coins out.

Kelly took her love potion up to the counter. " This will be all. How much will it be?" she asked, placing it up near the worker.

The last stop Sage needed to go to in Diagon Ally was Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes! Although her mum won’t be too happy when she finds out Sage stopped there, it was worth it! When she walked into the store she was blown away by the amount of noise and chatter coming from such a small shop.
Sage strolled around the shop before picking out a few of her favorite items, which included Fainting Fancy (7 sickles), pack of Extendable Ears (2 galleons), and a pack of Dungbombs (1 galleon). She quickly made her way to the counter and waited in line.

"This is really something else," murmured Jezabel, taking a moment to stare wide-eyed around the shop while she waited at the counter. Everywhere she looked there were things banging, exploding, spinning, and generally making either a mess or a laugh. She'd had to exert a fair amount of self-control not to blow her carefully saved pocket money all in one go. As it was, she'd decided on a bag of Dungbombs, one bottle of Belch Powder, two bags of Luminous Balloons, and a selections Skiving Snackbox - not that she meant to play truant in her first year of school, but it would be handy to get her out of having to go to those ghastly family reunions every Christmas. Her brother Keegan said that was the best thing about Hogwarts - you could stay for Christmas and avoid the drama!

Kelsey walked up to the counter and said," Can I have a plum pygmy puff,a cage, and a pack of edible dark marks, please?"
