'Yeah. I already took a load of it earlier.' Thom said, kicking at a spine. 'Mostly horns... but there's still loads more.' Thom suddenly snapped his head around to look at Zack. 'Don't you even think about trading in the Hogshead now, you little git. That's my spot. No one's going to buy of a two blokes with the same stuff.' he glared threateningly.

Zachary looked enviously at the hairs Helia shoved safely into her bag, before turning his attention to Moen. "Since when does a Hufflepuff like trading in dingy places like the Hogshead?" He said uncaringly, his eyes wandering over the huge display of bones greedily. Then, he turned back to Thom with a smirk, "We'll just have to see who can get there first and win the better price." His voice was challenging, and he moved forward, before his eyes widened and he turned to Helia.
"How on Earth do you know that thing's name?"[/color]

'Since this Hufflepuff came to Hogwarts, you little twat,' Thom growled indignantly. Thom had always prided himself on being a good trader. Well - good in the sense that he had never failed to cheat someone out of their gold without them knowing. 'Stay away!' Thom hissed tensely, stamping a foot towards Zack as if the Slytherin were a pesky cat easily scared off by loud noises.

Zachary smirked, though it was somewhat strained. He really didn't like the idea of getting into any sort of fight with someone years older, but he had never had anything to trade at the Hogshead before. After a long pause, he picked up a luscious piece of hair and looked at Thom.
"How about a deal," he said with flashing eyes. "I've never traded at the Hogshead before, and I certainly don't want to get ripped off." He began icily, collecting another strand of hair in his hands. "Most of the younger Slytherins usually go with someone older their first few times. Unfortunately, I haven't met many-" He glared at anyone who looked as though they were going to comment on this, "And am allowing you to take me. A pleasure I know." He said brightly, standing superiorly in front of the Hufflepuff.
"Unless of course, you want a new trader selling for all the wrong prices and attracting all your customers."[/color]

She couldn't help but smile a bit at the Slytherin's inquiry, "She told me, that's how," she said vaguely. "If ever you learn to keep your temper calm perhaps I'll tell you more," and that was that. She paced slowly around the clearing before sitting down on a log and tried to ignore the fact that both boys had just openly admitted illegal underage blackmarket trading in Hogshead. "You might want to be careful what you say around here. The trees are horrid gossips," she said as she patted a birch's before digging around in the leaves below it.

Thom's face grew dark and sorrid as Zack finished speaking. 'Oh you little flobberworm...' he muttered. 'Alright, fine! Next week's Hogsmede weekend for you kiddies. Meet me in the Three Broomsticks at three when the lunch rush has cleared out. Bring some decent stuff and some gold, and don't act too excited, I don't trust you yet, you little prat...' Thom said gruffly as he marched away into the skeletons, kicking a skull frustratedly.

Zachary rolled his eyes at Helia, his arms crossing over his chest. "I don't have a temper," he said indignantly with narrowed eyes, before they instantly brightened with excitement.
"Of course I'll bring some decent items, I'm a Slytherin after all and we only posess things of finest quality." He said haughtily, before raising his eyebrow and looking around. "I wish there was a way to get some Unicorn Blood." He added airily, the hairs in his hands shining brightly under the full moon. [/color]

Erin sighed as she looked around, ignoring the rest for a little while. She was tired of fighting with them, she thought she might as well get to know them a little seeing they could possibly die. Erin shuddered at the thought of getting to know a hufflepuff then attempted to join back in. "Thom, your just as stuborn as us slytherin's." she muttered.

She glared icily at Zach, "If you even think about hurting a Unicorn..." she left the end of the threat vague. She had dealt with their bickering and arguments of blackmarket trading, but hurting any forest animals was simply out of the question and she would not tolerate it. Even if it meant expulsion, she would keep the creatures safe as long as she could. Perhaps she was being a bit silly, but it was the ollivander blood in her. Anything with that strong a magical essence deserved respect.

Zachary looked at Helia for a moment before letting out an exasperated sigh. "Even I don't think I could walk into a clearing filled with a mass of Unicorns and just cast a quick Sectumsempra on one of them, then walk away unharmed." He paused, seemingly considering the idea, before looking back at Erin.
"I'm not stubborn." He said heatedly, crossing his arms over his chest.[/color]

Erin looked at Zachary and smiled. She nudged him slightly. "Yeah you are, don't even kid yourself." she giggled then looked at the Head girl. "I don't think any of us would have the heart to kill such a magnificant creature." she said refering to the Unicorns. "I know I couldn't do it, no matter how bad I wanted to."

Zachary looked at Erin in disbelief, before scowling. "What sort of Slytherin are you?" He muttered, trudging through a few more murky leaves, knowing full well that if his life were in jepoardy, he'd do anything to save his own neck. The only thing that put him off Unicorn Blood was the cursed life, which couldn't have been any better than death. He really only wanted the blood to trade at the Hogshead, in all honesty.
Then, he smiled darkly, looking back at the group. "That Mooncalf dung was silvery, do you think I could pass it off as Unicorn Blood to some drunkard?"[/color]

Thom smiled at Zack's mention of inicorn blood. 'Lesson one, Daniels - unicorn blood looks exactly like silver paint with a shimmer charm cast on it. The only use for unicorn blood is life enhancement, but no scum at the Hogshead is brave enough to drink the stuff so they can ever tell.' he grinned, whipping up a particularly large horn off the ground and stowing it in his coat pocket.
He looked at Erin. 'I'm just clever.' he said smarmily.

Erin laughed. "Of course you are Thom Moen." she said sarcastically. She looked at Zack. "I'm a girl... not just a Slytherin. I would never have the heart to kill a unicorn." She looked away and caught up to Helia. Why do I like him? she asked herself before shaking the thought out of her head. "Ok... so we're basically looking for anything useful for wand making right?"

Zachary's smile faded and he looked incredibly put-out as he kicked a few leaves, not taking the chance of getting his shoes dirty on anything else. "The dung is more innovative," he mumbled, scowling at Thom.
He turned to Erin, and raised an eyebrow. "Wand-making? Surely you can find something in all of this for yourself."[/color]
