[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. ♥]

And therein lies the fun part. You can have all that in the palm of your hand without any of the dirty work.

Hands-on only when the moment calls.

[Or when the aggrieved are pretty women. He winks to show he's playing.]

[Fred scoffs. Work. Laaame. What's the point if you can't do what you want and enjoy it?]

A half hour's nothing. Skive off and get your arse down here. I'll slip you a Puking Pastille if you feel the need.

[Complete victory, if you ask him.]

Appropriate as "Explode-y Guy" may be, I tend to go by Fred. And I don't suppose you've a name other than the mysterious Blonde Beauty?

Must have taken time, finding a shop big enough to hold all of that.

Deception's the goal, and it's not exclusive to magic users. I mentioned the Snackboxes, those're intended to deceive tyrannical bosses or unfortunately bothersome acquaintances that you're too ill for that late night shift or one more cuppa.

It's easy enough here, this's only about a third of what we've got back home. Mum's always tossing about phrases like "affront to hygiene" and "messier than a pig's stye."

Because of the products? Or the way you had them arranged?

Home decor was never our strong point. We like to let things just roam about as they please.

They're impressive. You ever make more, you gotta let me watch...

Meh, time warping, what can you do? It does make things easier...sometimes.

You! [ she is so out of breath, you are going to be the death of her ]

You forget I work with friends of mine, I doubt a Puking Pastille would do any good.

[Pause. Thoughtfully, as she watches the display.]

Did you know I crushed those up and slipped them into the Carrows' dinner once?

That says a lot about you as a person.

[No, not seriously.]

It didn't really light my head on fire! You don't have to grow a mustache on my head. Actually, it was a great show.

Even though they're magic? I don't really know anything about magic.

And if I tell you my name then what's the mystery?

But the sound, darling-dear, dear-darling, the sound rips ears and leaves them raw and there's blood somewhere in them, blood from all the chaos.

Now why would you do such a thing, I wonder?

[Hi, Fred. Guess who's browsing your stock for things ~~to steal~~ that catch his fancy?]

That was great! I've been chasing around fireworks for half an hour now, I didn't know who they came from!

Hasn't done too much for me so far.

[Slightly bitter? Maybe. Fred doesn't appreciate this time pocket rubbish.]

At any rate, the inner workings of our products are top secret material, I'm afraid. Can't go about letting too much on, or it'll be hardly a Weasley & Weasley original.

Good point. Ah well, can't blame a guy for asking, right?

You'll get used to the time thing eventually...I mean, I've been here for over a year now, so.

[...Oh, bugger.]

Evening, lovely.

[Foul play. He can't even be disappointed in her staying at work.]

You make an old man so proud, baby sister. I've got to know, how'd it work? We always supposed crushing them would make them more potent.

I should think I say plenty enough about myself as a person.

[...No, seriously. 8|]

Bugger. I was rather looking forward to the experimentation. [Kidding(?)!] Much appreciated, love. With such a positive response, we'll have to look into having another show soon.

Dear Amycus and Alecto had beautiful aim for the Headmaster sitting between them.

[What she doesn't say is she got detention for it because who else would use Weasley products? But it was worth it. It was so worth it.]

Not to worry. All the magic's done for you.
