5th Floor CR, Saturday Night

[withoutverona]

The broom sweeping the floor around Romeo's feet wasn't so bad; it was silent, and no more distracting from his book than a maid at home would have been. (The fact it seemed to be powering itself was a bit distressing, but less so than talking shoes had been

Ron wandered into the CR looking only somewhat grumpy and not really phased by the whole cleaning supplies thing. "Decided to do some spring cleaning?" Ron asked.

[withoutverona]

"They did so without my help," Romeo said, then his eyes flickered over Ron again. "... you're back to your normal height."

He was an observant one at times.

"Woke up normal sized," Ron said with a cross look. "All because of that idiot Reno."

[withoutverona]

"What did you do to set him off?" Romeo wanted to know, dander up just slightly. Reno was all but his best friend.

[isourking]

"He's always antagonizing me over something," Ron said with a shrug. "We seemed to be okay last class when the professors at that candy but this was a completely unwarranted attack."

Ron may have forgotten the whole Jelly legs jinx thing.

[withoutverona]

Romeo had his suspicions about how innocent Ron was, but they were subsumed by the mention of the candy. "Last class was brilliant," he told Ron. "How did you get the candies to torment the teachers so?"

[isourking]

"My brothers make them for a living," Ron replied. "A lot of gag stuff mostly. Fake wands. That sort of stuff. They also make candy that either makes your nose bleed or vomit. Useful for getting out of classes."

[withoutverona]

"That," Romeo decided, "may be the best way to earn a living I know of. A bit unkind, perhaps, but only when used against the wrong targets."

[isourking]

"They love it," Ron agreed. "The spent their entire academic career tormenting teachers and the student body with their pranks. Who would have thunk that they could make a ton of money off it?"

[withoutverona]

"There's little enough money in jokes," Romeo agreed. "Did they go to school here?" Because he needed to meet them, if they did.

[isourking]

"Nah, they went to my old school," Ron replied. "But if you want a catalog I'm sure they'd be happy to ship you stuff."

[withoutverona]

"Would it work if I am not magical?" Romeo asked doubtfully.

[isourking]

"It should," Ron said with a shrug. "You don't have to invoke it or anything. Just either eat it yourself or give it to someone else."

[withoutverona]

"I'd rather not turn into a canary," Romeo said quickly. "Yellow is not my color."

[isourking]

"Well if you ever want a nose bleed, I think red would look very good on you."

[withoutverona]

"But then my face would be covered in blood," Romeo pointed out.
