He wasn't sure if frogs were allowed in Zonko's, so he quickly hid Mr.Froggie in his pocket and hoped for the best.
He WAS a loud froggie, but... it'd be fine. Yep. Back to the purchasing and stuff... something new caught something new in the corner of his eye. A Nose-Biting Teacup. Wow.

And so the seventeen years old sneakily peered into the shop after saying good bye to her graduate friends. Vashti would probably disapprove of Louisa's idea of "punishment" but that was old history, the current Ravenclaw got used to disobey her friend's advices.
Seeing that the shop was almost vacant, the Head Girl tiptoed inside as soundlessly as possible. She crept through the aisles looking at the products briefly, she knew what she was looking for and she wasn't going to waste her time browsing. Her reputation was on the line here--
SHE YELPED! Merlin there was a boy in here. Louisa clutched her chest dramatically and leaned on the shelf, breathing. "Merlin you scared me!" She breathed out, heart attack passing by safely. Hopefully this one didn't know her, coz she didn't have her... badge on. He didn't, right? D:

But much like the previous love potion incident, Theodore felt that he needed to test ALL of his equipment before purchasing. WHO KNOWS, this cup could literally rip someone'e entire nose off it's face. And he'd surely get detention for that.
"AH!" Theo stumbled backwards as someone came and yelped right in his face. He'd SCARED her? That's funny cos he was standing there as silent as a mouse, whereas she was screaming at him. Who was scared? HE WAS SCARED, NOT HER. "I didn't do anything!" Silly giiiiiirl. She'd just received a Theo-glare.
Meanwhile, Theo still needed to test this cup out, and the girl who he had 'scared' seemed like a perfect guinea-pig. "Do you want a cup of tea?" He thrust the cup in her face. "It has invisible tea inside, obviously." Uh-huh.
Seemed LEGIT.

Quickly though she removed it, this boy looked like the kind to bite it off. "I didn't see you here is all." Something moving in his pocket caught her attention, her eyes squinted at the brown-- "You have a chocolate frog in your pocket." She pointed out before suddenly something was shoved into her face.

WHAT IN HADES was wrong with this boy. The girl screwed up her face and caught his hand so that he didn't ruin her lipstick face. "Whao whao whao.." Using her hand to wiped off whatever crusts was caught on her, "Okay first, I know those cupcakes. I used them before." SMIRK. "Second, you don't ask someone to eat something in a joke shop. That's a dead give away." Eye roll. "Lastly, you don't have to shove them in my nose to see the effect. I just simply have to take a bite. Or two." Nod nod.
This boy was getting a free tutoring session...
Louisa looked around and spotted something made her smile, "Want me to show you something cooler than those cupcakes?" She grinned down at him.

RIBBIT.
"Huh? I don't have anything in my pocket." Theo tucked the froggie a little further down in his jacket pocket. And even if it was a chocolate frog, he wouldn't give it to a strange girl. RIBBIT. Theo coughed. In fact, he began coughing WHENEVER the thing made a sound. Which was a lot.
"It's a teacup, not a cupcake." He pointed out, then looked curiously at the cup. Was it... edible or something? Theodore was very confused, so he took a bite of the cup. And... SNAP. "Owch! OW, IT BIT ME." She TRICKED him into doing that!? He threw the cup on the floor, and it shattered. Oh well, he wasn't paying for THAT. Don't cry, Theo. Don't cry.
Theodore was about to protest, but whatever she was offering caught his attention. "Like what?" An old person who was into pranking? Theo liked her already.
RIBBIT.

THROW IT! She gasped, her hand going for her mouth and her eyes staring at the shattered unpaid for teacup. Whao! "Merlin! What did you do?" She didn't look at the boy, though. It wasn't his fault entirely, she should've warned him. But the look on his face when he got pinched! Har har har. Priceless. But now to fix the mess. She took her wand out and waved it at the pieces, "There. It lost its joke purpose but at least I can show it to the shopkeeper and pay for it." Louisa took the teacup and motioned for the boy to follow her.

"I used to come here every weekend to restack my storage of joke products." She told him as they headed for the shelf that had punching telescopes... but another look at the boy's pinched nose made her look at the screaming Yo-yos beneath that. Then. AHA! "When you're one of the younger students at Hogwarts, you just need to draw limits for the older ones, ya know." Reaching up for one of the Creepy Crawlies boxes she continued, "Not a real punishment but this could scare the heck out of anyone if taken by surprise." She flashed the box's name to the boy. HEHE.
RIBBIT.
O___________o
Louisa blinked, her grin faded completely as she frowned down a the boy's MOVING pocket. "What's in there?" Probably something that wouldn't jump on her NOW while she held the box of fake creepy insects.

She turned to the woman that had walked up to them. A smiler too. This was good because it meant she most likely didn't mind condoning children pulling pranks during the school year. Lex was already liking this woman so she gave her a smile in return.

"Ah yes....do you know where we could find some fireworks--or rockets--big enough to make a real show in some place like say...the Great Hall of Hogwarts without it causing too much damage?" and getting them expelled.

More people had come in, but there weren't any in the same aisle. Still though, they didn't want anyone else knowing, or watching or spying on them.
She nodded to what Lex said. "We need something big, but not something that'll get up into too much trouble." Seri added. She figured they'd pick up the conversation later, and said to the shop assistant, who surely was not listening to their earlier talking, "Discussing future... victims."Seri smiled mischeviously. Ohh yes, more targets, and she liked the idea of cookies for the teachers a la Puking Pastilles...

Alexa snickered when she heard her friend mentioning more targets. "That's the idea. The castles full of students and Professors we just have to be careful 'cause some are really nice." It would have been a shame to prank the nice ones...they might not have been very nice after that.
She looked around the shelves for a bit more. "Hmm...what else might we need Seri?" Lex contemplated as she began browsing the things once more. All of this stuff looked sooooo tempting but she also had to think of the candy she wanted. Couldn't spend it all here.

It would be funny. Practically the whole school would be turned into canaries, have hiccups, or be ill from the puking pastilles ect. Or preferably all three. It would be hilarious, and they could make it anonymous if they needed; just run in and put some nice-looking brownies on the staff room table when no-one was in there. Appearances can be deceptive.
"Agreed. If possible keep the nice ones out of it." Seri nodded and shrugged. There was no-one she was good enough friends with to be paticularly bothered yet, but she wouldn't give anything to Kennedy, since he wa Head Boy and therefore her protection. She needed someone to look after her.
"I think I'm done, inless there's anything else you an think of...?" Seri raised her eyebrows, she was always up for any more of Lex's ideas. She held up the Hiccup sweets and Canary creams, "I grabbed these for the cookies..." Seri smiled maliciously.

Of course everything bought would be used at one point or another and on one person or another--barring those who she had no intention of harming of course. She could see it now. Offering a cookie and a sweet smile then watching the victims come under the effects of the particular prank chosen. It would be pure gold, priceless really. Oooo, especially when it came to the Professors. Yes she could see herself and Seri getting into trouble but what did that matter as long as they were having fun? The way she saw, Hogwarts had enough goody-two shoeses, they could take a trouble-maker here and there.
"Uh-huh, that's how we'll have to do it but I know for sure that there are some people who will most definitely not be spared!" Nope and begging wouldn't help their case either. "Like that Ariana girl--and that girl that tried making me lose 50 points" Yeahhhhh...she hadn't forgotten about her. There were others too. Merlin, they would need to make a list! "We should keep a record that way we can prank as we go along." Then cross the people off the list one by one. Brilliant!
"Hmmm...." Lex thought for awhile. Was there anything else that they would need...? Her eyes caught something on a low shelf. "I think this could be useful." She said, grabbing a box of instant dark powder. Oh yeah, she could see them having a lot of fun with this one.
