*The bell over the door makes musical burping noises when Bolly pushes his way inside, giggling at that and blinking to adjust his eyes to change in light levels. He can't see Grampa Fred, but maybe they can find everything they'll need by themselves.* Maybe a Skiving Snackbox?

[ It takes a minute for her to respond because too busy looking around.] I've never used one. You'll have to explain them.

They're double-ended colour coded chews. One side makes you sick and the other side fixes it. They're pretty disgusting, like they can make you throw up, or have a super hot fever or really bad chills, or give you a nosebleed. But as soon as you take the counter-half, you're all better again.

They always work? The side that makes you better?

Yep. Guaranteed!

They're in the school box section, back here!

[She grabs his hand and heads in that direction.] I don't like being sick

Better sick than Montague. But there are a few options that don't involve throwing up, and anything you take will wear off in a couple of hours even if you don't take the counter agent. Look, there they are, those boxes there, between the colour changing chalk and the invisible quills.

[She takes a couple of fainting fancies and nosebleed nougats.] This is a good plan. Let's go pay.

I need to get home.

If I asked, I'm pretty sure my mum would let you come and stay with us and she would stand up to your dad.

I'm not going to let you or your mother do that. My dad....isn't so bad. But his friends....not people you want to make mad

People keep saying that to me lately. But maybe making these people mad is the right thing to do? Maybe if everyone was less worried about what they might do, and just stood up to them, it would work out better for everyone in the end? Like maybe they only have power because we give it to them?

Well maybe not everyone is that brave! [She turns away so he can't see her face because feels like she might cry.]

I meant adults. You're just a kid, like me. My mum would feed these people to the pigs. You'd think she'd go with a dragon or something, but mum says the best way to dispose of a corpse is a pig, but also if she catches me trying to dispose of a corpse, I'm grounded until I'm thirty. Which is dumb, where would I even get a corpse?
