the man who laughed in the face of death

[ 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.]
