"Who came up with the idea? Well, the original Weasleys, of course! Fred and George! Legends, they are." Practically IDOLS to Wesley. They were brilliant masterminds.
One might consider a young teenager buying a demon in a box DANGEROUS and STUPID, but Wesley thought it was exciting that the youngins were so eager to get their pranking lives started. He was like a proud dad. Or something. "Oh, I'm sure this will do the trick." Of course, the woman was bound to dislike this girl even more once the demon was done, but oh well. That was sort of the point, wasn't it? Besides, FUN! Oh, does it hurt people? "Good question. Yes, but not permanent, severe damage. Just minor injuries." Again, nothing that can't be fixed.
Lex waited with an anxious smile as the man tried to think up the price. She would've choked when she heard it but 'cept for the fact that before the left the house earlier she'd gotten into an argument with the woman and ended up 'crying' to her father. Good 'ole crocodile tears, they came in quite handy. Her father ended up giving her 5 galleons to spend how she wanted--of course she still couldn't buy more than one because well, she still had to buy candy and she didn't want to limit the amount of candy she had. The kid would rather be happy than have the woman upset.
"I guess I'll take one then and see how it goes...for now I don't think it's as important as candy." GRIN.
So
those two came up with the idea! Pfft. She should have known. No one else was as brilliant with pranking as them.
"That was a dumb question...wasn't it...?"
This man was pretty neat. He wasn't trying to give her some lecture on buying dangerous pranks or not liking people. He was as nice as the man in the candy shop!!! The smile nearly vanished when he said the damage wouldn't be permanent. That was slightly disappointing. She felt people learnt their lesson well once they had a permanent reminder...still, this thing was pretty cool.
"I see...and there's no way I could get in trouble for it....right? Like it doesn't show the owner or anything...disappears afterwards maybe...or something...?" Something that wouldn't get her grounded when Amanda went crying to her dad.
