Don't forget that MC actually has a shop in Hogsmeade. and the things that you can collect from the animals and plants.
But with the Animals only what they want to give.
That too! MC was a lil moneymaker, lol
The only disappointment was that you couldn't REALLY sell things in the shop. Like, you could sell clothes, but that's normal. I wanted to sell my surplus of plants and things, but I couldn't. We were robbed.
So this is how I imagine the group would be/react...
*in the MC's shop in Hogsmeade*
MC: If you need any potion ingredients, let me know, and I probably have some you can use.
Garreth: Really? Like...mongrel fur and spider fangs?
MC: Yeah, I've got a whole cubby for just jars and jars of spider fangs. I even alphabetized which spiders they came from! I was very bored.
Garreth: Wow...You probably want some payment, right?
MC: Eh, I'll give you a student discount. You don't have to pay. Just don't completely wipe out my storage.
Poppy: Is that...THE giant Venomous Tentacula leaf?
MC: Yep. Hobhouse didn't want to come with and get his own leaf, so I thought some herbalist would love to buy it.
Amit: Wow, you have such an array of scarves.
MC: So many of the same ones. I figured someone would want to buy a few.
Natty: I cannot believe you have your own store! Was it expensive?
MC: Not too expensive. I managed to save up some gold-
Ominis: You mean Galleons.
MC: Yes, those. Anyway, I managed to pay upfront, and now, I've got this place! Oh...what time is it?
Sebastian, checking pocketwatch: It's almost nine.
MC: Okay, everyone out.
Garreth with arms full of jars: I wasn't done perusing your supplies!
MC, once they're all outside: I made an agreement with the poltergeist, and he gets to have the store after nine.
Natty: Wait...what?
Amit: Did you just say poltergeist?
MC: Yeah, when I bought this store, the owner was in cahoots with the poltergeist that lurks in the shop. He drove past owners mad, but I managed to make an arrangement with him.
Poppy: ...Can we go back to the part you said a poltergeist lurks here?
MC: There's a chest that leads you down to his elaborate labyrinth of spooky things. There were mannequins, flipped rooms, and stretched hallways. Then I fought his "monster", which was a troll-sized pile of furniture.
Sebastian: You faced all of that ALONE?
MC: Oh yeah. And then when I went to report to Officer Singer about the owner, the owner easily stopped her, and I had to face that mental witch alone. So, not THAT unusual for me. Just annoying.
The group:
Ominis: ...
Ominis: HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?

It's really sad to think of the Moment of Clarity as a metaphor for an abusive relationship when you think of Smitten's demeanor in that chapter.
While he is overall right in the grand scheme of things, in the individual stories' context, he's incredibly naive.
An abusive partner can and will take advantage of that naivete. And Clarity has already done that.
I feel bad for Smitten during that chapter, okay?
