[ video || open action ]



[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. ♥]

[He snorts. Not often someone uses a phrase like that back home.]

Yeah, suppose they are. [A thought.] Wonder what's in it for them. D'you think it's just for kicks?

[Video]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

There's a reason, I know there is...but I don't know what. I've been trying to find out for ages, though.

[He's American, Fred. Also, he's Hanna. He doesn't do tact.]

[Video]

[feorge]

Has anyone tried asking outright? We play into their game plenty, they ought to owe a few simple answers.

[Tact's all but out of the question with Fred. It's just the American slang he's unfamiliar with, and it's amusing.]

[Video]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[They'll have to do an international slang exchange at some point.]

Believe me, we've tried. They don't tell us anything. And if they do, they do it all wrapped up in an enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in bullshit.

[Video]

[feorge]

[Alright, he chuckles. That was brilliant.]

Sounds swotty. Where's Luna when you need her and her bloody nargles?

Re: [Video]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

What's a nargle, and why does it sound so awesome?

[Video]

[feorge]

I haven't the foggiest, but once we've proof that they actually exist, I'll be sure to let you know.

Re: [Video]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Please do, you've got me curious now.

[Video]

[feorge]

[Snerk.]

Reckon you'd get right along with her lot.

[Which is not allowed to happen because you need to app her already 8|]

Re: [Video]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Really? Huh. Neat!

[I GET IT I GET IT AAAUGH I'M WORKING ON IT!!]

[Video]

[feorge]

They're not so bad, the Ravenclaws. Undeniably swotty, but they're a clever bunch.

[GOODilu. 8|]

Re: [Video]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Ah, lemme guess. They're the smart house, huh.

[D: I fear to do Luna, I may have to drop Rue. CHOICES AAH.

[Video]

[feorge]

[An offended scoff.]

Hardly, though they'd sure love to call themselves such if they ever stopped to take their noses out of their books.

[WHAT IS THIS CHOICES NONSENSE i cannot handle all the pressure. (ps: there is none!)]

Re: [Video]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Ah, so they're the know it all house, then.

[I AM NOT GOOD WITH CHOICES.]

[Video]

[feorge]

Abso-bloody-lutely, and Merlin be damned if they don't know it, too. Who's proud of being a prat?

[LET ME MAKE IT FOR YOU. APP LUNA. 8)]

Re: [Video]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I've known people who are proud of being prats, trust me.

[[AAAUGH I KNOW I KNOW D: BUT THE DROP WILL HURT]

[Video]

[feorge]

I know a few myself. There's Hermione, of course, and then my- [He hesitates a little, then smiles slightly.] -my brother, Percy. King of all prats, and Head Boy to top it all.

[:( Drops always hurt, but if you can't find anything to do with her, maybe it's for the best?]

Re: [Video]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Oooh, a prat brother. That's gotta suck.

[D: Probably...I just gotta figure out the best way to do this.]

[Video]

[feorge]

[Is it normal to smile when you're talking shit about someone? Even if it's a bittersweet smile?]

It's the worst. Man's got a stick a mile long up his arse.

[/hugs It'll be okay, bb.]

Re: [Video]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Jeez. Sounds like somebody needs to get him drunk or something.

[D: Thanks, bro...]

[Video]

[feorge]

[That has him actually laughing.]

Oh, I'd've paid good money to see that.

[Video]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

You'd be amazed what stick in the muds can say when drunk.

[He just remembers when Conrad was drunk that one time...]

[Video]

[feorge]

Can't imagine Perce getting properly pissed. He'd probably go on and on about the bleedin' Ministry. Boooring!

Re: [Video]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Oooh, he works in government?

That's rough, man.

[Video]

[feorge]

[He laughs - something almost hollow.]

He's actually just resigned.
