Weasleys' Wizard WheezesFor fun and games, jokes and pranks, come inside and check out everything from skiving snackboxes to the WonderWitch product line.
While it would appear that the front counter is made of wood, especially judging by the hardwood top surface, caution stripes color the sides - but don't worry, they don't flash or anything. The counter's style is no more distracting than anything else within the shop, in fact it blends in pretty well!
The shopkeeper, Galilea Grimaldi, can usually be found sitting or standing behind the counter alone or with the company of her toddler, Fitz. If not, again - don't worry, she's still somewhere in the store; probably in the backroom or off helping a customer. Hold tight and she'll be right with you!
OOC: Please do not chat in this thread unless it's with the shopkeeper (Shanners)! This thread is for check-out as well as asking questions and/or for assistance, and there are two other threads for RP chatter.
"Hello. May I purchase these?" Aly said as she sat her pigmy puffs (a lavender female and a pink female) on the counter in a single cage big enough for the two of them. "I think I'm going to name the lavender one Eva and the pink one Rose. What do you think?" She asked as she placed a pack of Extendable Ears, a pack of Edible Dark marks, three fake wands, two trick wands, three patended daydream charms, two bags of Non-Explodable Luminous Ballons, and one bag of Mad-Eye Treatments all on the table. "I was also wondering, could I possibly get three Instant Darkness Poweders and four Decoy Detonators from the back?"
Jaymie walked up to the front counter with her cute little Pygmy Puff in her hand. "Hello," she said with a smile. "I would like to buy her please?" She guesterred to the Puff; just in case she though she was talking about anything else. "And can I get a variety bag of candy?" She loved candy! But, she was a little wary of this candy.
Natalia walked up to the line forming behind the counter, holding her tiny lavender Pygmy Puff. What am I going to call you? Natalia thought, but their was no time to come up with an answer for she was being summoned forward by the cashier. She hefted up the cage under her arm and went to pay.
Keira made her way carefully through the aisles and customers, balancing a large basket of merchandise in each hand. In each basket, on top of the candy and other assorted tricks, sat a tiny pygmy puff. One was purple, the other was pink. They were happily rolling around in their cages. They were SOOOO CUUUUUTE!!!
Keira set her baskets on the counter and smiled at the shopkeeper. "Hi there, I'd love to get these things please," she said happily. She was so excited about her fluffy pets!
She listed all the things as the shopkeeper took them out of the baskets:
"One box of puking pastilles
One box of edible dark marks
One set of extendable ears
One phial of love potion
One set of nose-biting teacups- hilarious!
One box of Peruvian instant darkness powder
And two beautiful pygmy puffs!"
There were so many crazy candies and objects here- she was glad she got a good assortment to try.
"How much will it be then, please?" she asked politely.
Louisa walked forward to the counter with Aurora at her side. She had the products in her hands and scattered them before the shopkeeper. "Hello.." She started acting all mature and responsible, she was almost 13 now you know. ".. my friend Aurora and myself found a half-brewed potion at the shelves.." Or that was what Aurora said anyways. Louisa looked at the younger girl and gave her the Get-The-Bottle-Out look. ".. we thought it'd be best if you had a look at it before we buy it.. she buys it." It was Louisa's gift and it'd be not appropriate to buy it herself
"And.." Louisa gestured to the stuff on the table. "..I'd like to buy those." The formal smile didn't cease all the time. Just because she was acting according to manners in front of the firstie.
SPOILER!!: Stuff on the table to be bought
One box of Peruvian instant darkness powder.
One box of puking pastilles.
One set of nose-biting teacups.
A bad of JellyLegs.
Nosebleed Nougat- 6 pieces.

Aurora placed the little phial on the counter, it had turned back to a silvery colour. "Yes, it was unlabeled and it's a half brewed Amortentia. I wondered if you knew anything about it, it could have been dangerous if someone had tried to take it home. It's only missing moonstone, it needs fermenting for a week or so but it will be fine then. I was just wondering if I could take it home? I'll pay for it if I have to." Aurora looked up at the shopkeeper. Oh please, please, please, she thought. I have to see where they went wrong with this. She had every intention of giving it to Louisa but she's take the tiniest drop to look at at home.
She placed her skiving snackboxes on the counter after handing over the phial. One box of each, "And I'd like to buy these too please."
Wow- she was the nicest shopkeeper EVER! Melina could almost feel the warmth flowing out of the sweet woman. She obviously loved her job.
She looked at her two puffs. "Oh, ok. These were definitely smaller than many of the others, so I must have gotten girls. Brilliant! Oh, Merlin's polka-dot socks- do you think they'll be in any danger from my parakeet?" she asked fearfully, just remembering her other pet. Oh, please say no, they'll be fine, she thought to herself.
"Thank you so very much!" she exclaimed as she handed over 4 Galleons
Merlin's polka-dot socks. Gretchen laughed a little bit at the girl's interesting choice of words but quieted at the serious question. Hmm. "That would depend on your parakeet, but I don't suggest leaving them out and near each other unsupervised." The end result had potiental to be bad.
"You're welcome, Miss." The woman smiled once more at the young girl, accepting the coins at her thanks.

Gretchen blinked at the woman. Just blinked, and watched her turn and leave.
"Seems someone is having a bad day." She spoke mostily to herself, turning her gaze and attention toward the child behind the grumpy woman.

"I think those are perfect names!" Gretchen happily replied, collecting and adding each item the adorable young child set on the counter to the bag she had gotten out. "I like Rose, especially. Pink roses are beautiful."
Removing several items from the bag and putting others in, and then returning the ones she had taken out to make it all fit, Gretchen finally set the bag on the counter and smiled to the girl. "Yes, give me just a minute." With another glance at the other children behind the young girl, the woman disappeared to grab the requested products from the back.
When she returned a couple minutes later, it was with another bag in hand which was set on the counter beside the other and pygmy puff double-cage. "There you are. Your total comes to 27 galleons and 11 sickles, love."

"Hello!" Gretchen replied as another small girl came up, smiling sweetly. "Of course. Have you picked out a name yet?" Fishing out a keyring, the young woman kneeled behind the counter, jiggling a locked cabinet door as she tried getting the silly key to go in. Really, she had no idea why the shopkeeper before had used such a thing... or why she didn't use magic herself to unlock it. "Here we are. Would you like a bag for this?" Gretchen asked, holding up the bag of candies. "That's 1 galleon for the pygmy puff and 4 sickles for the candy."

"Hello, love." Gretchen greeted the next child, this one being seemingly more quiet than the previous excited ones. Folding her hands in front of her on the counter, Gretchen gestured with one toward the pygmy puff. "Will that be all for you?"

"That little fuzz ball is exactily 1 galleon, love." Gretchen smiled warmly to the child. "Have you named it yet?"

"My goodness, someone had fun exploring the shop!" Gretchen said, though smiling as she looked from the baskets to the child that carried them. Goodness.
Taking out a bag or two, the young woman began to fill both with goodies from the baskets, calculating the prices as she went. Once both were full and both baskets were emptied and removed from the counter, Gretchen set the girls bags in their place near the pygmy puff cages and answered the girl. "8 galleons and 15 sickles, Miss."

After bidding one child goodbye, two more popped up. A potion..? Half brewed? "The only potion sold here is a type of love potion." Gretchen said, but held out her hand for the expected vial. Since she needed her hands to examine what she assumed had to be a love potion, Gretchen gave her wand a flick at the pile of items the girl wished to buy, setting them to dance themselves right into a waiting bag while she kept a running price check in her head.

Taking the vial in hand, Gretchen gave it a good look, turning it over once. Her gaze went to the pair of girls as one of them spoke up. "I don't. It wouldn't have gone up on the shelf, had I noticed." How old was this girl? She certainly knew quite a bit about Potions for how small she looked.. "Here's the deal, I'll let you girls keep it. You appear to know what you're talking about and it sounds like a fun little experiment to have a go with, why ruin your fun? But, you have to make me a promise you won't try it on yourselves or anybody else unless and until you make sure it's good and finished. Right?"
With that said, Gretchen smiled more and offered the vial back. "That's 1 galleon for the skiving snackbox set."

"Sure. That's 8 sickles, love. Would you like a bag for those?" Gretchen asked, preparing to grab one out for the child as she waited.

Taking the two individual boxes of skiving snacks, Gretchen placed them into a bag and then down on the counter. "1 galleon and 14 sickles, love." She answered, offering the young boy a smile.

Aurora grinned widely, "Oh I definitely know what I'm talking about." Well, potions was her thing, she loved everything about it. "We promise, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Aurora took the phial back and thrust it into her pocket. She'd give it to Louisa later.
She took a galleon from the inside of her robes and handed it to the shopkeeper. Then she gave the skiving snackboxes and the little phial of dusted moonstone that she was still holding to Kittsa. The house elf hugged them to her chest as Aurora addressed her. "Kittsa, put the moonstone back in my potions cupboard and the snackboxes on top of it." The elf nodded and vanished with a faint 'pop.' "Thank you!" said Aurora to the shopkeeper. She turned to Louisa, "I'll give you the Amortentia when I'm certain it's properly brewed." She waited for Louisa to pay.
Did you just lose something? The GAME? Sorry... 'Justin Bieber, he is the man!' U mad, Felton!?

She waited for Louisa to pay.
Louisa smiled excitedly at the dancing stuff, she never saw a shopkeeper doing that before. She should ask the one at Flouirsh & Blotts to use it on her books, seeing them walking to the bag on their own was definitely amazing.
She practically stood there like a dumb while Aurora explained the thing to the lady, she had no clue what the younger girl said but she nodded confidently. And guess what? The lady trusted them! She beamed. "Yes, of course." She said regarding the ' won't try it on yourselves or anybody else' matter, although that was a really nice suggestion. Like using it on the handful students who annoyed Louisa so far? That would be fun. But again that was the purpose of the Weasley's products so no need to break the promise.
"What do my things cost, please?" She asked leaving the bag on the counter in case the lady wanted to check the stuff out again. Louisa's hand sank into her jeans pocket ready to get the galleons out. And please don't ask for Sickles, she'll have to convert the Knuts into those and the process will be… not so easy.
"Hello, love." Gretchen greeted the next child, this one being seemingly more quiet than the previous excited ones. Folding her hands in front of her on the counter, Gretchen gestured with one toward the pygmy puff. "Will that be all for you?"
"Hello, yes the Pygmy Puff and this cage please." Natalia placed both upon the counter between herself and the shopkeeper. "How much?" she asked smiling warmly.
"Hello!" Gretchen replied as another small girl came up, smiling sweetly. "Of course. Have you picked out a name yet?" Fishing out a keyring, the young woman kneeled behind the counter, jiggling a locked cabinet door as she tried getting the silly key to go in. Really, she had no idea why the shopkeeper before had used such a thing... or why she didn't use magic herself to unlock it. "Here we are. Would you like a bag for this?" Gretchen asked, holding up the bag of candies. "That's 1 galleon for the pygmy puff and 4 sickles for the candy."
Jaymie smiled shyly. She was always more nervous around adults; not really around people her age. Older kids did kind of scare her though. "I don't know yet," she admitted. "Yes please," Jaymie said about the bag. She pulled 1 galleon and 4 sickles from her pocket and handed them to the shopkeeper.

Adrian walked in to the store and walked up to the counter. He should probably have a clipboard or something, because it would make him look more professional. But he didn't need a clipboard, he had a good memory.
Emyrra walked up to the front counter and set her headless hat on it. She was almost too short to see over the counter, but she managed it. "I'd like to buy this please," she grinned widely.

Isabelle wanted to get a pygmy puff she picked out a pink one her favourite colour and went to the counter the pygmy puff was so cute she saw another girl at the counter and Isabelle was quite friendly it was one of her quailtys along with courage and being brave ''Hello i'm Isabelle pleased to meet you'' Isabelle smiled ''I'm done Hogwarts since last year so ive been wandering around here since September''
Mord walked towards the Counter. He was wearing his gray muggle uniform and was smiling that strange half smile that he always seemed to have.
Mord approached the Counter and said "Hello,I am Mord. I have two questions for you: Are all these tricks approved by the Ministry of Magic? Second: What do you want?"
Lily and Violet walked up to the counter. They were glad thier waiting time was over.They'd been queing for half an hour! They had finally decided on:
2 pairs of extentable ears,
2 headless hats
1 skiving snack box and
1 pack of ton tounge tofees.
They knew their sister wouldn't be to pleased, but Lily said "you can't please everyone!" grinning!
Dave Grohl-Josh Hutcherson-RupertGrint-HP-HG- Marvel-D.C-Taylor Hawkins-Drumming-Foo Fighters-
Ronnie and Rupert walked up to the counter. Ronnie looked up at Rupert and smiled. Rupert placed one Fever Fudge, Two Puking Pastiles, One extendable ear, Two Headless Hats, and and Three Nousebleed Nougats.
Alice hastily walked up to the counter with her new blue-raspberry puff in her hand. On her way up, she took a plain brown cage from the setup along with her. She didn't need anything fancy as she had quite a few cages at home anyways. She thought as she patiently waited in line for the shopkeeper.. "Hm.. Winky I think is a proper name for this guy." Yes, Winky it shall be! Just as she was about to pay.. She spotted some decoy detonators on a side display shelf... "You really shouldn't" Alice thought to herself as she was desperately trying to save her spare money for later.. But those detonators sure could come in handy. She decided to grab 3 for now as she knew she'd be back again soon for more
