APOTHECARY

[bonafide_divinity]

[Don't mind him. He is just casually browsing the shelves in search of the required supplies for fifth year potions. Why would you ever take issue with that? He is definitely not going to steal anything. Move along.]

[syned_a_brik]

[This sixth year doesn't mind him! Not at all. So what if Oggie happens to be on the loud side?]

Hey dere! Vot are hyu doink?

[bonafide_divinity]

[He quickly freezes -having been in the process of stealthily reaching for a nearby vial- before turning to give the other boy a disarming kind of smile. At least he hope's it's disarming. Damnit, Jaeger. Why are you so loud?]

Hey Jaeger... I'm just shopping. For supplies. For potions.

Are you taking potions?

[syned_a_brik]

Yah, I like da teacher. He is fonny guy. [He looks over the items on the shelves, humming a little.]

Ve vas schoppink too! But... [his shoulders slump and he sighs] ...Hy do not know who has da list. Or vere anyvun is. So I kennot schop now.

[bonafide_divinity]

[He quickly casts a glance around the shop as Jaeger starts humming. Once he's confirmed that yes, they are definitely attracting attention, he emits a quick dejected sigh and turns back to look over the shelves. Great. This was like shoplifting with a great dane. ]

Why would you only make one list for the two of you?

[syned_a_brik]

Dimo und Jenka iz schoppink too! Vhy vould ve make more dan vun list? dat is chust vastink paper.

Besides, effen if Hy had da list, Hy couldn't buy anytink. Hy's not de vun mit de schoppink money.

[bonafide_divinity]

[He's going to take a quick moment to stare at you Jaeger in a state of incredulous shock.]

You let someone else hold your shopping money?

[And he lost track of them. And he seems perfectly happy about this! Tulio seethes quietly, slowly letting his head fall into his hands. God, Jaeger was exactly like a great dane; so big and stupid and trusting that you almost feel bad for him.]

Do you remember anything that was on the list?

1/2

[syned_a_brik]

Yah... Hy is not so goot mit money. I tink Dimo or Jenka has it.

2/2

[syned_a_brik]

Yah! Lotsa books! Und... dere vas schtuff for potions. Und a new broom, cause a bear broke mine.

Re: 2/2

[bonafide_divinity]

[He winces at the first comment. But he quickly composes himself, placing a cameraderial hand on Oggie's shoulder and looking up at him with a smile.]

Alright. Jaeger, I'm going to let you in on a secret, so list-- Wait! How did a bear break your broom? How could a bear have-- What the Hell were you doing this summer?!

Re: 2/2

[syned_a_brik]

Hurray!

[bonafide_divinity]

Well....

[He's going to need a moment to process all of that]

My summer was good.

[syned_a_brik]

Hurray!

I'm a cheapskate

[bonafide_divinity]

Alright. I'm glad to hear that yours was so... Eventful.

[He's going to start to back away now]

I'll be seeing you later. In September. Good luck with your shopping.

[syned_a_brik]

[cheldorado]

Hey there, cutie.

[bonafide_divinity]

[Well... He'll be putting that jar right back on the shelf. And he'll be doing it in a manner that isn't at all hasty or panicked.
He's then going to turn and offer Chel a smile that might be just a little strained. ]

Hey... Fancy meeting you here.

[Don't you dare rat him out. Please?]

[clears his throat from behind the boy] I don't believe your pocket is the most efficient way to carry around the goat's weed. You're going to run out of room, my lad.

[bonafide_divinity]

[For a brief moment, he considers either fervently pleading absolute innocence or cutting his losses and making a run for it. However, he has no idea of how long Professor Rhydderch has been watching him. And because he's going to be in his classes for the next nine months, so both of those options are out of the question. Right. He's going to turn to face Rhydderch -who is very tall- and settle for pleading partial innocence.]

Professor Rhydderch!... This isn't what it looks like.

[grandhighwizard]

No? What is it? [raising an eyebrow - he's expecting some sort of amusing excuse]
