Magnus nodded and dove into the contents spending a little too long on inspecting items rather than noticing and moving on. But eventually he stumbled on the described watch. "This it?" he asked. "Its really spiffy."
() [img align=left] http://i.imgur.com/L3MuqZF.png [/img]"That is an excellent idea! After you." Aquilino motioned "ladies first." Smiling.
He took the wand in. "What's the design on yer wand? If you don't mind me askin'"

Lee eagerly accepted the box from the man. "Thank you, I might be a few minutes looking through all of these, " he said, smiling, his eyes lit up with excitement and turning bright green. He sat down and started to look through all the ornaments, watching each one do its thing before moving on to the next.

[img align=left]https://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/theatticbox/harperhogsmeade.png[/img]Harper and Aquilino passed by the hairdressing salon and the post office before coming to their first vendor: The Nut Lady. The aroma from the freshly roasted nuts was inticing. Harper couldn't pass up the opportunity.
"Mm... Miss, what kind of nuts do you have today?"
(OOC I am going to bed XD But I WILL be back tomorrow!)
[img align=left] http://i.imgur.com/DQZlKRs.png [/img]"They are Druid Alchemy symbols." He held the wand so Magnus could take a better look "See here? It is the tree of life and from there the symbols continue almost all the way up. it is made of Oak and unicorn hair."
()
"Whoa, thats cool." He took in the details and pulled out his sketch book, made a quick, but detailed sketch of the symbols. "Got anything more like that? Me friend Gaia, I think would be all over it. She's got unicorns in her forest too."
() [img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/OBCHhas.png [/img]"Well all of them darling!" Lydia turned around to see a beautiful girl and Aquilino. "Aren't you a trouble maker! You didn't bring me a tea did you?" She hugged Aquilino and stepped back "I have all my specials for this holiday and the Honeydukes special Nut Lady line. Anything you are interested in? Sweet or spicy, roasted or salted? We have it all!" Lydia smiled as her basket started filling up with options. "Aquilino, darling, I have some chocolate almonds for Alarico. Would you be a dear and take them to him? Thank you."
[img align=left] http://i.imgur.com/DQZlKRs.png [/img]"Let me guess, Irish?" Chrisof smiled "It wouldn't surprise me if she were to be a Kavanagh from the Irish clan that protects one of the Sacred Forests. It was Gwedolen's mother who let me harvest some oak from their forest. Have you ever asked your friend about her wand? I have a feeling it was made by some relative of hers." Chrisof started looking for a book, bringing out a really old looking book well kept, but worn by use. "This is the story and family three of the Kavanagh Clan. They were powerful Druids and protectors. Even the non-magical folks had jobs to do. They have had different variations of the last name, but if she is from this family line she might enjoy this book. I have had it for a while, but I don't visit Ireland much anymore and Gwendolen told me to not stop unannounced since I scare the animals." Chrisof shrug sadly.

Magnus' eyes bugged out and he nodded. He would need to have a conversation with Gaia now. "Awesome, that will be brilliant. Thank you. 'Ow much to I owe you for all this?" He put his hand on the man's shoulder. "Sorry about scarin' the animals. It ain't easy." His cat Kippers who had been circling around the stall came up and gave Magnus a headbutt on his leg, then she went and did the same to Christof and mewed for attention.
[img align=left] http://i.imgur.com/DQZlKRs.png [/img]"Can I write you a note for Gaia? I would like her to stop by before she goes back to the castle." Chrisof bent down and petted the cat. "Well you have the watch, the book, and ... the book. Are you taking anything else?" Chrisof began wrapping the books in brown paper. ()

Lee found he couldn't part with any of them, and selected one of each. He carefully put any duplicates back in the box, and handed it back to the man. "You both do wonderful work, " he said, smiling. Then he picked up the ones he had chosen.
"I will take all of these, please, " Lee said, putting them with the others he had already piled up, "and I think I am ready to be rung up." He planned on bringing all of them to school to place around his room, once the holiday was over and the term started.

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/lUb2YUg.png[/img]"Ah good deal. Let's see how many you have. Right now we have a sale. Buy three ornaments for 2 galleons. In the spirit of Christmas, you know?" Ash did his belly laugh and began wrapping ornaments carefully with his wand.
()
"Sure, I can give it ta 'er. Yeah, oh and the quartz crystals."
[img align=left] http://i.imgur.com/DQZlKRs.png [/img]"Ah yes, that would be 10 galleons. One galleon for the quartz, four for the books, and 6 for the watch." Chrisof winked at Magnus "Gave you the werewolf discount. Just don't tell anyone." Chrisof smiled and show his fangs. ()

Lee dug into his pocket and got out his coins pouch. He wished they had gone to a debit card system like they had back in the States, but this was kind of quaint, using actual money. It looked like after this he was going to have get some more coins.
"That is a wonderful deal, " Lee said, " but I did have a question for you. This is my first time in Hogsmeade, and I was wondering if there was a Gringotts branch up here..? If so, do you think you could point me in the right direction, after you are done, of course. I'm pretty sure I have enough cash for all of this, I'm just not used to using cash, and should probably get some more."

He pulled out his money hand haded it to the vampire, trying not to do another squeal of glee at seeing the fangs. "Fanks for everything. I won't." The boy waved and began wandering towards his next stop. Kippers stayed behind, pawing the vampire for more attention. Magnus laughed at that. His cat would come when she was ready. He needed to go find his mother something and Paddy... but when he spotted Gaia at the art stall, he stopped. He did love art anyway. "Ey Gaia, met a friend of yours." He handed her the note. "You never told me you knew a vamipre, I'd've sat on you till you introduced me."
[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/lUb2YUg.png[/img]"Oh yes, lad. Just walk past the Three Broomsticks, two narrow streets, Las Palmas restaurant, and two shops down is the Gringotts branch. It is almost noon so it should be a fast visit." Ash finished wrapping the ornaments and put them in a box. "Do you want these delivered?" He made a bow with twine to secure the package. "That will be 8 galleons."
(( I have no idea how many of the changing ornaments you got so I took a guess XD))
[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/P4yiyjd.png[/img] Gaia was putting her money away in her purse when she bumped into Magnus () "What'ya'talking'bout?" She looked at her friend slightly annoyed and slightly amused. He had been kind of rude earlier and she was a little hurt, but still it was Magnus. "What friend? You are my only weird friend." she said with a giggle wondering where Harper () had gone to.
"Sorry," he said, realising he hadn't said half the things he thought. "I guess I got so excited, I forgot to say it all out loud. I meant to say, I met a family friend. 'E's the antique dealer, Christof. 'E knows your family. And 'e asked if I'd give you this letter. Also, thanks for earlier." He pulled her into a hug and but released her quickly so as not to get too much on her nerves.
