Weasley's Year End Sale!

[which_is_which]

Fred and George have spent the afternoon setting up a small stall in the main hall of the Mansion, displaying some of their most popular products sold at the shop. A rather large sign reads:

"Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes: SALE!"

George sits back in a chair smirking, while Fred calls out to passersby enthusiastically. "Come on folks, it's that

Jackrabbit pointed at the Pygmy Puffs, startled.

"What is that?"

[which_is_which]

"Hey there," Fred waves cheerily, the Wittle-bangs rustling as he walks over. "That's a Pygmy Puff."

"Excellent pets," George chimes in.

"Really cuddly."

"Wanna hold one?" George picks up a medium-sized purple one, and it squeaks gently. He offers it to Jackrabbit with a smile. "They're very affectionate."

[cat_inthe_sun]

He held out his hands hesitantly. "I've never seen them before."

[which_is_which]

George plops the Puff into Jackrabbit's hands, and it instantly shivers, wriggling closer to him and making pleased squeaking noises. "Think it likes you," he grins.

Fred laughs and shakes his head. "They like anybody, big brother."

*had planned to go outside, and is thankful she leashed her pup, as the pigmy puffs have definitely caught his eye*

"Sit, boy," she commands, giving the twins a quick nod and hoping he'll comply.

...and he does, for all of three seconds.

"Hey Ang," George nods warmly. "What you doing?"

"You looking for something in particular?" Fred asks with a friendly wave.

[angie_chaser]

"George," she greets. "I'm trying to teach this beast some tricks...ruddy books must have it wrong," she grouses, though not really upset.

She smiles at Fred. "Uh, not right now, have to--" *notices the Safari Suckers* "--You still make these, huh?"

[which_is_which]

"Yeah? He not picking it up? Hey Shadow, you giving Ang trouble, huh?" George grins at the pup, leaning over to scratch his ears gently.

Fred nods with a wide smile. "Of course! The kids love it, as do some of the adults," he winks.

Oz excitedly examines he wares.* "Did you make all of these yourselves?"

*It's like if you waved some cool new gadget he didn't have infront of a technogeek.

[which_is_which]

"We did indeed!" Fred beams, coming over. "I'm guessing you're not familiar with our products?"

"Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes, please, take a look around."

"Any questions, just ask."

"Anything particular caught your eye?"

[o_z_diggs]

"No, sorry boys, I'm just looking. Haven't carried money for a good long while." He smiles and pats his pockets to prove it, then goes back to examining the wares.

[which_is_which]

"Well if you see something you're curious about, we'll give you a sample. Just pass the word around, we can never have too much business," George nods amiably.

"Got Wittle-Bangs here, wanna try that maybe?" Fred asks, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

Spade's toast curse hasn't worn off yet, but he has managed to procure a notepad and a pen to carry around with him at present. He looks at the stall, critically, his habitual cloud of cigarette smoke trailing behind him like a ghostly halo.

After a moment, he walks up to the twins, and scrawls something on his pad. His handwriting is angular but quite legible, and he hands it to whichever twin is closest. It reads:

Do any of those gadgets remove curses?

[which_is_which]

Fred peers over at the notepad curiously, and reads what's written. "A curse, eh? What kind of a curse?"

George looks over at them, with a thoughtful expression. "What seems to be the problem? Is it for you or someone else?"

[mancalledspade]

Spade gestures for the notepad back, then writes "Cursed toast. I can't speak right anymore. And it's not just me."

[which_is_which]

"Hmmmm, you can't speak anymore?" George rubs his chin curiously.

"I think we might have something for that... but cursed toast? Might work, might not." Fred starts filching around in a chest behind the stand, clinking bottles and strange whirring noises emanating from it.

"Would you be able to pay for a potion? Or is there some other way you could return the favour?"

typist: Polonius is in the toast thread if you'd like to set him on fire. XD He's going to avoid this thread like...a thing which will set him on fire.
