Eight year old Hannah studied the coins in her hand counting them slowly in her head. She lost count twice, but finally managed to add them up. She smiled brightly. Yes, she had just enough. Her mum was allowing her to get an ice cream cone with the money she'd saved up from her allowance. It had been a hot summer and Hannah really wanted an ice cream. Also, Florien's had the best flavors, including her absolute favorite; lemon. It was the only place in Hogsmeade that had lemon ice cream, not that icky icy sherbet stuff. She hated, hated, hated sherbet. It wasn't creamy at all. She turned her attention to the list of flavors in front of her. Slowly she walked over to the counter of Florien's Ice Cream shop. She smiled nervously.
"Good afternoon, would you like to buy something?" he asked. She looked up at him and smiled. She was missing her two front teeth. They had fallen out just recently. Part of her ice cream money had come from the tooth fairy for those two teeth.
"I would like a lemon cone with sprinkles please," she said proud of herself for managing to order her own ice cream. She had been a shy child until recently when she'd finally started to build some confidence in herself. She glanced over to the table where her mum was sitting and gave her a smile. She put her coins on the counter and watched Mr. Florien count them out.
"Did I count them right?" she asked looking a little worried. "I think I had enough."
"You do, young lady, and you get two knuts back in change. Here's your cone, be careful, it's leaning a little to the right." Hannah took it gingerly and started licking it back into a perfect ice cream cone shape.
"Thank you," she said walking back to the table where her mum was waiting for her.
"What kind did you get?" she asked as Hannah carefully slid into the booth.
"Lemon with sprinkles, my favorite," Hannah announced taking a large bite of the cone. She marveled at how it crunched between her teeth.
"It's always lemon with you, isn't it, Hannah?"
"It's the best flavor," Hannah stated with great authority. Her mum laughed as Hannah continued eating her ice cream. When she had finished, they would go buy Hannah a new pair of shoes. Hannah did not like shoe shopping and slowly licked at her ice cream making it take as long as humanly possible. Her mum watched her shaking her head, she knew exactly what Hannah was doing, but eventually the ice cream cone was gone and they were on their way to buy those shoes.
