Shopping

" Our number is 22 and 23 in round 1." Nykaa told me

" Right now no 18 is going on. Let's go in " i spoke and Nykaa nodded.
We went in.

" the old man speaking was headmaster." Nykaa informed me and i did ‘o'. 

And there the man shouted no 21. So we also went towards the door.
As i stepped the other side of door i felt Nykaa's grip lightened. But
she pulled me towards her and i can see many other students like us
there.
After the other two came. The man standing there led us to a big boat we all sat in it. That man gave us all a paper which had list of
things we need and on the other side a map of market.
After a few minutes we reached a much better port.
We got down and there was a big door like structure of stones. We went the other side and there was
diffrent stores on each side of the path. 

" Let's look for pets. " I said to Nykaa as i saw students going in PetCare shops

" No.... Let's start from end. We are the first round, everybody is
getting in the shops at start. There won't be much crowd at last."
Nykaa used her mind and we started from end.

There was a lake at end. Nearby was "Parvati'sWands" we got in as we need wand too.

" You are Krishnan's daughter! " The shopkeeper lady welcomed us
like this

" Uh no , you are mistaken " Nykaa said

" uh sorry. First years. Hmm tell me your naturae vires. I'll get your
wand. " That lady asked us

" Our both's is water." Nykaa told the shopkeeper
“ Hmm take this wand and just wave it. “ She gave Nykaa a wand. She waved it and the wand started glowing. 

" Oh dear, I had a wand appropriate  for you but it got sold a decade ago." Lady said taking the wand back “ I’ll  customize one for you , and deliver it to your school. “

  " I'll get it before semister? " Nykaa asked

" Yes dear soon. Now your turn. " that lady said giving me the same wand.
I waved it and ice flakes came out. “ Hmm there ! Try it.” taking out a wands from a box, she said. I did what she said and some light came out  .

" Good ! So finalized " that lady said cleaning the mess with her wand.

" How much " Nykaa asked taking out her purse 

" 15 gold coins of her wand. And as i have to deliver your it will be 15
gold and 5 silver. " The lady said giving my wand in a pack. I kept it in bag

" There you go 30 gold and 5 silver. " Nykaa said giving coins to
shopkeeper .
And we left.

Next we went for uniforms. We got in and the lady straight came with inch tape and started taking
measurements. 

" Jade ! Forty for dress and 36 for pants " she said after taking
measurements of Nykaa and started checking mine.

"  Hoesour look for the boy. " Lady said as a boy came in. After billing
we head forward. Nykaa was looking in paper.

" Next books ! " Nykaa said pointing at the store on the other side of
path. We headed in. This store was a little crowded.

" First year " I said as a man approached us

" Two sets for first year! " That man shouted to his worker.

"That set will have books,  parchment and ink .what you need is quil should I give ordinary one or you want to customize ones." 

" 2 ordinary for me " i told the shopkeeper 

" Is that a quil too? " Nykaa asked to shopkeeper pointing  at a beautiful blue greenish wand with a peacock feather design.

" Ah , one of the student customised it but she never came to take it
back. you can buy it for 10 silver coins " 

" Okay then how much ? " 

" 60 for two sets, 24 for quil in silver. You can get 42 gold ones "  he replied. Nykaa gave coins and we left.

We went for pet shop.

" Hey ! This hampster looks cute. " Nykaa said pointing at a fluffy
hampster

" Yeah it is " i replied

" It is not only cute. He can do Motus Tardus. " A man told us about it
as we were interested in it.

" He can do what! " Nykaa asked but that man looked at us weirdly

" He can jump in slow motion. Which looks like it’s flying. " The boy spoke whom i saw in uniform shop. As he said so that men made the hamster jump in slo-mo.

" Wow ! I'll get it. You want something " Nykaa said and i shaked my head as no.

" 12 silver coins " that man said. We paid and got out. 

" There's a library. Let's go in it " Nykaa said dragging me toward a
shop.
But we heard the first boat to school is back. 

" Next time baby " i said to Nykaa. We went at port and sat in boat.
