[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!

1. they do not dissipate quickly and will last for a few hours after this video
2. as they crash into each other, they will multiply and combine and any other various nonsense imaginable
3. any attempts to banish or destroy them will only serve to multiply them
4. 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. ♥]

Fairly certain I've the advantage when it comes to transportation.

[Hullo, magic user. Everything's easier for him. 'cept maybe tying his shoes.]

[action] \o/ I feel like an A* student

[designedtoparty]

Fine by me. Just don't complain if I start needing you to come out at 3am.

[You mean they don't have a spell for that? Shocking!]

[action]

[feorge]

I'll let the first few off, but after that, pray your mates have enough blood to spare.

[Oh, I'm sure they do. Mum probably swatted it out of them young, though.]

[designedtoparty]

Who do wizards pray to? Merlin?

[Parents are so cruel.]

[action]

[feorge]

Nah, Merlin's more a sort of figure head for magic in general. There're religious folk out there same as Muggles, we just aren't a part of it.

[IKNOWRIGHT?]

[action]

[designedtoparty]

Wait. Merlin's actually real?

I always thought he was just some old guy from a Disney movie.

[action]

[feorge]

The Hell is a Disney move-ey?

'course he's real!

[action]

[designedtoparty]

It's a film. Made by Disney. They're pretty shit, so you're probably better off not knowing them.

Are you sure he's not just like the wizard Santa, or something?

[action]

[feorge]

[Oh. A Muggle thing. Posh.]

That's rubbish, Santa's a children's story. Merlin was a wizard in King Arthur's court and the greatest in all of history.

[Obviously.]

[action]

[designedtoparty]

Merlin's a children's story. That was the point.

[action]

[feorge]

For you lot, maybe. For us, he's a sort of pinnacle of magic. Everything we ought to aspire to be.

[A lot like Dumbledore.]

[action]

[designedtoparty]

So, pretty much exactly like Santa.

[action]

[feorge]

[G I V I N G U P.]

Yes, exactly. Just don't expect any presents from him; he's more like to have you thinking your name is Suzy and going about the city in your knickers.
