The Bargaining One

Hermione situated herself in her chair with a large tin.

"Whatcha got there?"

"Cookies."

Harry's eyes widened considerably. "Can I have one!"

"Depends on what kind they are."

"Looks like chocolate chunk."

"Hell no! These are mine!"

"But there are dozens in here! I just want one!"

"What're you gonna give me?"

"Now we're bargaining?"

"These are chocolate chunk cookies we're talking about."

"My Cloak."

She pretended to consider. "Not good enough."

"That box of sugar quills."

"No."

"You name something then."

"I want a kiss–after you've had a cookie."

He would have laughed if he wasn't so delighted.

"Deal."
