[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. ♥]

Couldn't have done it without you lot.

[She sounds SO PROUD right now, Fred, you can't even imagine how glad she is to hear that sort of praise from you.]

They weren't all too pleased, but it was a great laugh. I reckon the only reason they got it on Snape was because they wanted to save their food. Figures, doesn't it?

[It's well deserved. There's no telling how proud Fred is that Ginny carried on their work in their absence.]

Pillocks, the lot of them. How'd they cure it, then? I don't suppose you gave them the other half.

[Only after they threatened her with their wands, and even then she only gave them the purple chews to save her robes from vomit. That's her story and she's sticking to it. (The Cruciated her anyway, but. Details.)]

Only after they stopped throwing up long enough to ask me nicely.

I didn't Death Eaters the type to mind their manners.

[He's got clues, hints of what went down at Hogwarts under their control. But he is not even going to let himself think about it.]

Knew you could hold your own against them. Reckon you might be the better suited out of the lot of us.

[For a while, there's nothing but the echoing booms of the fireworks overhead as Ginny leans against the outside wall of the club and watches the sky. She wonders if Fred knows, really knows, about the castle. She didn't tell them much over Christmas, she didn't want to risk her parents forcing her to stay home (though that happened anyway, over Easter).

And then she laughs.]

What makes you say that?

[She's stronger. She's attached, but objectively so, whereas the twins're always rash and Ron's got no sense of self control whatsoever. She's brilliant in all the ways they should be - knows how to bend without breaking. She's stronger.]

Innit obvious? Innocent face like that, they'd let you off of anything. You've got the Weasley Charm in spades.

[Being the youngest means she got the best and worst of the brothers that came before her. She only ever wants to make them proud because she learned it all from them, everything that makes her who she is. Of course she carried on the twins' mischief, it was her duty.]

I reckon even Mum's started to catch on to my innocent face, Fred. I'm just too fast for them to catch, is all. [And then she snorts.] Or is this the same Weasley Charm that makes people want to date us?

[They aren't the best of role models, that much goes without saying. But Fred's damn proud of his sister, and anyone with objects knows precisely what to do with them.]

Just the same. We've all sorts of innate talents. That's what makes us so brilliant.

Of course. It's probably why all the other pureblood families hate us so much. Our Charm can just about attract anyone into wanting to marry us, but no one likes their lot, so they've got to resort to marrying cousins. Makes perfect sense.

[There is a very attractive snort at that.]

Woe is the life of us 'filthy little blood traitors'. We just can't help how pretty we are.

Everyone else is just jealous. Exactly.

This doesn't mean you're allowed a boyfriend, though. Not 'til you're at least thirty.

No one here's interested in dating a ginger witch like myself, anyway. You've nothing to worry about.

What? Rubbish, everyone loves gingers. Who'm I hexing for telling you otherwise?

[Now she's laughing.]

I thought you didn't want me to have a boyfriend? Shouldn't you be pleased?

'course I don't, but I'll have no less than a hundred boys falling at your feet for a chance to smog that pretty face of yours. How else am I supposed to get proper target practice in?

[Can you hear her eyerolling at you, brother dearest?]

That's why I've set up a place to duel by the cabin. [She's about to ask him to practice with her when she remembers when he's come from. And she goes quiet for a few moments before trying to cover up the pause with humour.] No less than a hundred, huh? Well, I work at a bar, it shouldn't be long now.

[He decidedly thinks nothing of that pause, okay?]

Excellent. I'll start on the traps immediately.

Fred.

No one can find the cabin, anyway.

Shush, Ginny, you'll ruin my fun. I've almost decided where to set up the Swamps.

Swamps? You just want swamps.

Come on, we could have live alligators and everything. I've already planned how to nick them from the zoo!

Just wait for the carousel animals to come to life and start attacking people again. That's just as exciting.

[Her tone of voice says otherwise.]

['Again.' What the bloody Hell is this place?]

Tell me you rode them, in the very least.

[A subtle sort of, 'Tell me you didn't get hurt.']

I may be a Gryffindor but I'm not stupid, Fred.

[No, she was perfectly unscathed. But there are scars on her back she won't be sharing any time soon from other incidents, ahem.]
