I'm glad you liked it! It was just a little thing they had at the new shop. I dunno who brought it originally, but it's yours now.

Oh, by the way, I meant to tell you that Perks was in the queue round the same time I was. Did you know she had brought lists from some of the older kids in Slytherin, with their shopping?

First I thought she was making a little mudblood of herself, doing their shopping like a house-elf. But then I thought of that book you were telling me about, the one set in Hogwarts way back in the 1800s, and how the poorer students used to fag for the older ones, you know, to make a bit of pocket money. I guess that little bit of change she made off those folded valentines gave her the taste for money. That and her association with Stretton - he's always got a scheme going. I'm sure he's been teaching her a thing or two about taking advantage.

Can you imagine? I mean, if Sandoval asked me to fetch her something, of course I'd do it, but that's because she's such a wonderful person, and a great friend. Not because she paid me.

Ooh! D'you think Parkinson pays her to be friends? I know Weasley hasn't any dosh for it, perhaps she just feels grateful that someone pities her enough to be friends without insisting on the benefit of payment.
