"Thanks, Madam S," Penny said, smiling at Madam Scrivenshaft as she passed her a mug of tea.
"You're welcome, lass. I know ye like a cuppa first thing."
"I don't wake up without it," Penny grinned.
She took her mug in one hand and her wand in the other went to unlock the door of the shop while Madam S brought the till from the safe in the back room. It had felt weird to be back at work at first, after a week off with the flu, but now Penny was glad to be back to being active. She just got too bored doing nothing. After all, there were only so many books you could read before the words started to swim in front of your eyes and you had to go do something else.
It was good to be doing something but now whenever she looked at Madam S, Penny either felt guilty for taking the Monday off when she had been well enough to come to work or wondered how she was going to tell Madam S she wanted to leave soon. They had become pretty close over the time Penny had worked here and she would miss the place.
Penny shivered at the cold, feeling goosebumps raise on her arms. She quickly waved her wand at the advertising board that stood outside the front of the shop. Penny changed the chalked slogan from Half off Quick Quote Quills! Today Only!, so that it now read, All The Colours Of The Rainbow Ink! Half Price! She charmed the letters to flash in all the colours of the rainbow and added a chalk rainbow with a pot of gold at the end of it.
"I thought we could try and get rid of some of that Rainbow Ink today, Madam S!" Penny called out, as she walked back inside. She pulled the door closed, glad of the warmth of the shop.
"Horrible stuff," muttered Madam Scrivenshaft. "It'd give me a damn headache readin' a letter written in that."
Penny drank down the last of her tea and picked up the box of Rainbow Ink from the back room. If she was going to try and sell some of it, it really ought to be on display.
