[At first, the loud crack! that comes from outside does not sound entirely unlike thunder; maybe a storm is brewing? But the first is quickly followed by another, and then dozens more. Strange behavior for thunder, but surely it's not completely unheard of?

Then starts the bright flashes of light, every color imaginable whirring about in sparklers and Catherine wheels, and there is absolutely no mistaking this for lightning.

That's right. A large display of fireworks has been set off in the center of the Square, and if the large, glittering W in the sky is any sort of hint, it's easy to understand this feat to be at the hands of a Weasley - specifically, one wolfishly grinning Fred Weasley, who is standing beneath the W with a vast spread of various objects before him.]

Welcome, ladies and gentlefolk, to the City's first ever Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes! Come on down and take a peek at our stock - we've got Trick Wands, Ton-Tongue Toffees, as well as various Skiving Snackboxes; not to mention the ever popular Wonder Witch Products, such as the Love Potions and Ten Second Pimple Removers. It's guaranteed a good laugh! Just follow the W!

[And just as he says the last word, another thunderous boom! lets loose two enormous dragons composed entirely of fireworks. They circle about the ever crackling W before spreading off and exploding into still more firecrackers that whizz off into the distance. Fred grins wildly, tips an invisible hat upon his head, and the feed shuts off.]

[ooc; Fred set the sky on fire! :D Things to know about these fireworks, as they are they are not normal fireworks and have a few enchantments about them!

they do not dissipate quickly and will last for a few hours after this video
as they crash into each other, they will multiply and combine and any other various nonsense imaginable
any attempts to banish or destroy them will only serve to multiply them
more info can be found here!

That being said, they'll be hanging around for awhile so feel free to have your character watching them from the other side of the City or even being chased there by a rogue sparkler, whatever you please! Just pay mind that no property damage is to take place at any time. These are friendly fireworks, not the sort used to chase away Dolores Umbridge. Replies may be slow, but ither than that, go crazy. ♥]

How did you do that?

One of those caught my head on fire. [No it didn't.] I demand compensation.

[He did. He'd finished them and George wasn't there to celebrate and he got jittery, which always leads to explosions, doesn't it?]

Good answer, little sister. [Wink!] Just a few wary passersby thus far, but there's a definite interest. Or d'you suppose that's just my handsome face drawing them in?

Yeah, yeah, your irresistible good looks and charm. I know how it goes.

[Oh, bugger it all. Perhaps Fred can hear the muffled sound of his sister saying she'll be taking her break now, and she's rushing out the back way of the club so she can watch the fireworks from the street. The proud grin she's wearing is absolutely audible in her voice.]

Fred, they're bloody fantastic. I'm so glad I never set off the last of your boxes, this is brilliant.

I don't mean to boast, but I really am, aren't I?

[So much grinning.]

So. Think I can afford a good mate a free sample, if you should feel so inclined. Fancy a treat?

My lack of understanding prevents a fancy from being developed...

Is there anything that you particularly like? That might be a good starting point.

If they do, just give 'em a good swat and they should head the other way. Or multiply. I'm not entirely sure with half this lot.

Excessive's hardly even in my vocabulary, mate.

Good job?

Thanks for the tip! If any of my feathers get burnt off, I am totally blaming you, though.

Loads of enchantments, as well as some fancy potions-work. Can't give away the whole secret now, can I? Takes all the mystery from it.

Shall I come and kiss it better for you?

You really are. It's brilliant, actually.

[GRIIIN.]

I am so inclined. I'd love to know how you pulled off the dragons, actually. Those were sort of awesome.

[It took him foreeever to get the rune combo for long lasting insult fireworks to work right. So he's quite impressed.]

I said compensation, not molestation.

[Oh, he hears it. Grinning abound, Ginny.]

You oughta be down here with me, you know. Reckon half the glory's yours as well. Or at least a good fourth of it.

[Still with the smiling, but it might just be that he doesn't feelright selling this alone when he's meant to have a partner, his partner.]

Ah, in that case-

[He looks around the spread for a moment and when he can't find what he's looking for, he pulls his wand from his pocket and mutters an incantation. A similar wand flys up into his free hand and he swaps it with the real one, which he tucks back away.]

-this here's one of my favourite spoofs. Suppose it doesn't really mean much here, but you plant one of these on an unsuspecting witch or wizard and when they go to perform a spell-

[He flicks the wand and it turns into a toy airplane, which floats in front of him for a moment before whizzing away.]

Well, that's true. Though even if you were specific, it'd still seem pretty mysterious to me.

It does seem like a nice parlor trick... still, I'm not much of a magic user. Although, I do love the deceptive angle there.

Much appreciated, gorgeous.

[:D]

[Feathers?]

Ah, now, we can't have our products harming beautiful women - that'd go against our policies. If you run into any troubles, I'll be sure to make it up to you.

A hands-on policy, huh? Must be good for business.

I didn't do anything.

[Genuine modesty. She knows she can try to be like her twin brothers, try to match them in creativity and brilliance, and she can come close. But she can't do what she's seeing now and she's more than happy to let Fred and George have all the glory for what they do best.]

And I'm working right now, Fred. You know I'd love to come down there but I've still got a half hour until I'm off.

[The gorgeous doesn't go unnoticed and it even gets a bit of a grin out of her. It's nice to be complimented.]

So what's your name or should I just call you explodey guy?

Bloody difficult to manage, those are. I only just got lucky; we'd already made one by the time I got to the lot. Funny how this whole time warping thing works.

[He seems to miss that Hanna was asking how they make them, distracted by the thought that they already had.]

It was worth a shot.

[No, not seriously.]

Suppose I could tweak the Miracle Mustache potion to grow back your hair if it's truly horrendous. Might give you wicked nasty facial hair for a titch but it could always be worse.
