"We'll need to figure out a spell to do the announcing... but besides the fireworks, I think we are good."

Fred Weasley - Inactive June 14th 2010, 1:06 am

Fred chuckled. "That's the easy part. Sonorous. So just the fireworks?" he checked before heading over to the display stand and grabbing a variety that would make for a very pretty show. He displayed the armful of fireworks plus two Dragon Goo eggs. "Think this'll do it?"

"Well, nothing else comes to mind unless you have any suggestions..."

[I have dinner soon! I'll be back though... but I need to leave relatively early to study.]

Fred Weasley - Inactive June 14th 2010, 1:21 am

[Ok. I have to leave in about an hour for dress rehearsal for our ballet recital.]

"Hmm." He snatched a couple packets of stink pellets before dumping his load on the counter. "Just for good measure," he said. The person at the counter totaled their items to "One galleon, five sickles." "I can pay for it," Fred said and dug the money out of his pocket and tossed it on the counter.

Nikki Orwell June 14th 2010, 1:32 am

Nikki shook her head. "Fifty-fifty split." She pouted. "I have to at least partially pay for the supplies for my first prank."

Fred Weasley - Inactive June 14th 2010, 6:56 pm

Fred made a face and glared at the money on the counter. "But I don't have the right change to do that. How 'bout I'll pay the galleon and you can pay the five sickles," he suggested.

Nikki Orwell June 14th 2010, 10:18 pm

Nikki struck The Thinker pose. "I guess..." She kissed his cheek. "Thanks for being such a sweetheart." She picked out five sickles, and flipped them onto the counter, each doing three complete flips before landing.

Fred Weasley - Inactive June 15th 2010, 12:52 am

Fred smiled up at her then grabbed up his five sickles that were still sitting on the counter. "This is all," he said to the cashier who rung them up and put their items in a colorful bag with the shop's logo on it. Fred nodded at the worked and turned to head out the door. "So," he asked, "where to, M'lady?"

Nikki Orwell June 15th 2010, 12:59 am

"I don't know. I came up with the plan, milord. You pick the next place." NIkki attempted to curtsy on top of Fred's shoulders. She failed.

Fred Weasley - Inactive June 15th 2010, 1:07 am

Fred laughed at her not-quite-a-curtsy. "Want me to put you down?" he asked. "I think-" he cut himself off to glance around suspiciously. "I think You-Know-Who is gone for now."

Nikki Orwell June 15th 2010, 1:09 am

Nikki was very tempted to start a Hoo's On First routine due to the You-Know-Who thingy, but decided not to. "I think we should be safe."

Fred Weasley - Inactive June 15th 2010, 1:13 am

"Good," he said, bending down to let her off. "As strong as I may look, my shoulder was getting a wee bit tired." He straightened back up and tugged on his shirt to reposition it. "Hmm. And as for where we go next? I really have no idea," he admitted.

Nikki Orwell June 15th 2010, 1:19 am

Nikki raced outside, grabbing Fred's arm and dragging him with her. She began to spin madly when they got outside, her arm outstretched. She stopped, and was pointing at the Shrieking Shack. "Let's go investigate!!!!"

Fred Weasley - Inactive June 15th 2010, 1:20 am

Fred tipped his head for a moment, mulling the suggestion over. "I've always been one fore mystery and adventure," he said with a grin. "Why not?"

Nikki Orwell June 15th 2010, 1:34 am

NIKKE BEAMED AT FRED. "COME ON, LET'S GO!"

[DINNER NOW, SORRY FOR BMK RAPE, BYES!]

Fred Weasley - Inactive June 15th 2010, 2:28 am

Fred chuckled at her enthusiasm and followed her lead.

[You can post at the Shrieking Shack whenever.]

Nikki Orwell June 15th 2010, 2:31 am

[My twin telepathy alerted me to the post, but I have a gazillion things to study for my Chinese final. I'll be back on at nine my time... it that okay?]

Trent Bennett July 19th 2010, 4:46 am

Trent walked in and headed directly towards the fireworks, he wants to buy some but decides against it. He leaves empty handed

Nikki Orwell August 30th 2010, 8:32 am

Nikki raced in, Fred closely at her heels. She grabbed a huge metal display case and chucked it at Mob Boss Gravity's head. Unfortunately, he ducked and vanished. "I was so close to defeating him! So close!"

Fred Weasley - Inactive August 30th 2010, 8:34 am

Fred patted her on the shoulder. "It's okay," he said consolingly. "We'll get him next time. But at least it got us where we were headed," he said. He eyed the racks for a few minutes, grabbed the usual suspects plus a few new toys and had the cashier ring them up quickly. "All set," he said.

Nikki Orwell August 30th 2010, 8:37 am

Nikki kissed his cheek, and then skipped out of the shop, holding Fred's hand.
