"Okay I will," she replies. "And you're right, let's talk about something else. So, what do you want to do now?" she asks.

**Dean Thomas** April 29th 2010, 8:06 am

"Erm.." He looks around the shop, that they really did nothing in.."You hungry at all? We could go eat or something."

Ginny Weasley April 29th 2010, 8:12 am

"Sure," she replies. She also glances around the store that they for some reason came to. "Just something light though, I don't have that large of an appetite right now."

**Dean Thomas** April 29th 2010, 8:28 am

"Right. Let's go then!" He grabs her hand and leads her to a place they have yet to decide on via skype.

Roxanne skipped in and bought some nose-bitting teacups and a few fillibuster fireworks. She paid for them and skipped out.

Nikki Orwell June 12th 2010, 12:25 am

Nikki and Fred spilled in through the door, huge smiles on their faces. Nikki was gesturing wildly, hands flying around her head. "...purple spotted cats."

[You chose what they were talking about outside. Smile

Fred Weasley - Inactive June 12th 2010, 12:32 am

[HAHA. I love you so much!]

Fred's eyes flicked frantically between Nikki's flailing arms and her expressive face while he nodded along, trying too keep up. "So you're saying they have these in the muggle world?" he asked. He'd never heard of them, but he didn't have much contact with muggles but... You never know.

Nikki Orwell June 12th 2010, 12:34 am

"Nononononono! In Wonderland. And it is more striped than spotted, and more purple and magenta, but yeah. It vanishes too!" Nikki was too busy flailing to notice she had gotten dangerously close to a fireworks display. She knocked the entire display over. BANG! ~~KRACK~~ CRACK! WHOOSH!

Fred Weasley - Inactive June 12th 2010, 12:52 am

Fred was about to ask another question when Nikki backed into a shelf of fireworks. A spout of laughter burst out before he ran to help her out of the pile of fireworks that were still going off occasionally. Thank goodness they were safety fireworks. "What was that?" he asked, suppressing a smile.

Nikki Orwell June 12th 2010, 12:54 am

Nikki seemed to ignore Fred's question, eyes darting around the shop. "She grabbed Fred and pulled him back against a wall, whispering into his ear, "Careful, Gravity is after me again. H sent some of his mob after me." She backed up one more step, and her legs went flying out from under her. She looked up at Fred from the floor. "Owch."

Fred Weasley - Inactive June 12th 2010, 1:02 am

"Oh no! He got you!" he exclaimed, hoisting her back into an upright position. "I'm always safe from them. They're afraid of me." He looked at her with an odd gleam in his eye. "I have an idea that might help," he said, "if you are willing."

Nikki Orwell June 12th 2010, 1:04 am

Nikki put on an overly dramatic thinking face. "I guess... I guess I can give it a try." The hesitancy in her voice was completely negated by the wicked gleam in her eyes. "What is the plan?"

Fred Weasley - Inactive June 12th 2010, 1:07 am

He scooped her up. "I carry you," he replied. "Everywhere."

Nikki Orwell June 12th 2010, 1:15 am

Nikki wrapped her arms around his neck. She then warped her body so she somehow ended up on his shoulder. "Ah, the remnants my of gymnastic days." She kissed his cheek.

[I have to go! Dinner at Grandma's.]

Fred Weasley - Inactive June 12th 2010, 1:29 am

He laughed as he looked up at her. "Now you're tall!" he exclaimed with a grin. "So, are you inspired yet?" he asked.

[Ok. I have to leave soon also. I'll be back on around 7pm my time.]

Nikki Orwell June 13th 2010, 11:46 pm

Nikki giggled. "Hmm..." She glanced around, and saw something that looked incredibly dangerous. "What are those?" She pointed to fist-sized sickly green egg-shaped things.

Fred Weasley - Inactive June 13th 2010, 11:50 pm

"Hm?" Fred looked around to where she was pointing. "Oh those. Dragon Goo," he said. "They hatch into little gooey dragons that fly around and drip gunk on people. We sicked one of those on Filch once," he explained with a little chuckle at remembering the look of rage of gooey, oozing Filch's face.

Nikki Orwell June 13th 2010, 11:53 pm

Nikki's eyes lit up. "I want those." She tapped Fred's head. "Forward, my noble steed."

Fred Weasley - Inactive June 14th 2010, 12:02 am

"Full speed ahead!" Fred laughed and wrapped an arm around Nikki's legs to keep her stable before trotting on. He reached the display of Dragon Goo and looked up at Nikki on his shoulder. "Want me to get it or can you do it yourself?" he asked.

Nikki Orwell June 14th 2010, 12:12 am

Nikki reached down, but her arms couldn't close around the Dragon Goo. "You, sir noble steed, are much to tall." She flailed a little trying to reach. "Can you get it?" She pulled herself upright, and glanced around the store.

Fred Weasley - Inactive June 14th 2010, 12:22 am

[This is during the day, right?]

"Oh. I'm sorry," he said, chuckling as he grabbed an egg. He was about to grab another one, but he wasn't sure how many she wanted so his hand just lingered over it as he asked, "How many?"

Nikki Orwell June 14th 2010, 12:24 am

[Yeah... like four o'clockish...]

"I think..." She got a far off look in her eyes. "Two. That is, if they aren't really expensive..."

Fred Weasley - Inactive June 14th 2010, 12:30 am

[Got it.

]

Fred checked the price tag on the bottom of the egg. "Seven sickles," he said. "And I have..." he rummaged around his pocket, "One galleon and... 6 knuts. We're good for two." With that, he picked up another one, making sure not to let go of her legs. Mob boss Gravity would probably love to pull Nikki down from such a height. "Is that all?" he asked.

Nikki Orwell June 14th 2010, 12:38 am

Nikki shook her head, and pulled out a wallet from her bra. "My senile great-uncle sent some funds the other day... he thought it was Christmas. I have five galleons. Let's go all out. See, I am visualizing something big." She held her hands out dramatically, as if framing an image. "Picture this. It is dinner time, everyone is in the Great Hall, except one person. We'll chose the person later. They walk in late, and as they push the door open, a voice booms, 'Ladies and gentleman, we have a late arriver. Please, greet insertnamehere.' And then fireworks go off, swiftly followed by the to Dragon Goo eggs." She sighed dreamily. "It'll be a work of art!"

Fred Weasley - Inactive June 14th 2010, 12:50 am

Fred looked up at her and arched an eyebrow. "Wicked. You seem to have a knack for this. Maybe you should join the pranking business," he said with a smirk. "You, me, and George? We'd be unstoppable." He looked around the shop. "So.. Fireworks. Fillebuster, of course. Only way to go. What else do you need for this perfect plot of yours?" he asked.
