Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes ~ Open! Now Hiring!

[CatWaffle]

You said, oh girl, it's a cold world
When you keep it all to yourself
I said, you can't hide on the inside
All the pain you've ever felt
Ransom my heart, but baby don't look back
'Cause we got nobody else



Nico looked at his card, an ace of spades. Making sure to remember it he put in the deck again. He watched the shuffle to see if he could keep track of the card. Unfortunately Nico lost sight of his card near immediately. Someday he figure these tricks out. He looked at the two tiny decks and pulled the top card off the stack on the right. "Hey! It is my card!" He said happily showing the ace of spades he had. He did love how one could do this things with no magic involved. Maybe it was how he shuffled it? How it was put into the decks? So many ways it could work!


You know that sometimes, it feels like
It's all moving way too fast
Use every alibi and words you deny
That love ain't meant to last
You can cry tough baby, it's all right
You can let me down easy, but not tonight

☣☢☠Heath watched in slight amazement as Nico pulled his card from the top of the deck but apparently this wasn't supposed to happen from the cross look on his brother's face. "Aww, that's not right, I was supposed to like, double cross and then your card would be on the bottom or something...hmm...maybe I didn't do it right..?" Lukas nibbled on his bottom lip anxiously before squawking as Heath ruffled his hair again."Hey you still did allot better than I would. I would've gotten lost at the card shuffle, you know I can't do those things right." he said with an exaggerated eye roll while Lukas laughed in agreement. It was an unspoken rule in their home that if they wanted to play a card game, they wouldn't allow Heath to shuffle the deck unless they wanted to play fifty-two pick up instead. "Anyway..thanks for doing my trick, Nico. I'll find a better one for you to try later!" Lukas beamed with his promise before collecting his cards and walking back towards the tame muggle tricks. "Soo...besides the wand, what exactly were you looking for in here?" Heath randomly asked with a grin.

Cammy almost sighed in content as she and her brother walked through the doors of what was, without a doubt, her favorite store. With her first year coming up quickly, Cammy had decided to stock up on some fun items to spice up her first year. Of course she had sworn her elder brother to secrecy, since if their mother found out then she would be in deep trouble. No one was scarier than their mother when she was angry.

As the two children browsed, Cammy couldn't help but notice the cute little Pygmy Puffs for sale, and to be honest she was a bit conflicted. Her hair tinging a light shade of purple to match the fur of one of the creatures as she thought. "Hey....Rian, how mad do you think Mom would be if she caught me with a Pygmy Puff? On a scale of One to Ten, Ten being the worst.", she questioned, crossing her arms over her chest as she pursed her lips. Glancing up at her brother she waited for his response.

"Hm....probably about a twenty-five. Since we both know how Mom feels about animals. She only even has Caboose because she was Dad's owl growing up. " Nodding along with his words, Cammy knew he was right. Of course, that didn't mean that it was going to stop her. She stared, determination in her eyes and her mouth forming a confident grin, "I bet you 5 Galleons that I can keep one hidden from her for a month before she finds out.."

"Well, when she finds out in a week you're going to be sorry for taking this bet sis. " He retorted, spitting into his palm and holding his hand out to confirm the wager. To which Cammy followed suit. After the handshake she quickly proceeded to wipe her hand onto her pants before quickly weaving through the crowd determined to get that Pygmy Puff and win her bet. Lost in her thoughts she didn't even notice the boy in her path until she ran into him.

"Hey sorry mate! Spaced out there, didn't hit you too hard did I?" She was honestly only apologizing so he didn't throw a fit...which had happened to her before. She was more worried about going and getting her damn Pygmy pUFF

spaceJack hadn't been paying attention to much of anything, too busy investigating his uncle's newest stock to really care about the other people in the shop. That said, he was a bit on the small side, and maybe shouldn't have been crouched down in the aisle the way he had been. It was, then, completely understandable and almost totally his fault when a girl ran into him. His slightly precarious squat was uprooted, and he managed to fall on his arse.

spaceFlushing slightly, Jack scrambled back up to his feet, dusting his pants off as he did so. "Nah worries," he said cheerfully. "Bruised me aris a lil', maybe. But that's me Whiskey Malt for bein' in way. Wot abaht ya, 're ya alwigh'?" He was pretty sure she hadn't hurt herself by running into him, but he had to check.

spaceHis eyes drifted to her hair and eyes, both of which were very unnatural colors. If it'd just been the hair he might've assumed it was dyed, but her eyes were bright green, and she seemed a bit young for contacts. She looked about his age, actually. Maybe she was going to be a classmate of his at school? "Daan't suppose you're abaht ter start at 'ogwarts, 're ya?" he asked, perking up a little at the thought. He wasn't going to be short friends when he got to school, of course, between all the cousins and sort-of cousins he had in his same year. But he had yet to make any friends that were just friends. Maybe he could start now.

Cammy couldn't help but snort at his choice of words. "Well hopefully your arse, isn't bruised too badly. I'm fine though, I've been through worse." She vaguely remembers the large lump that had been on her forehead for a few weeks when Eirian had hit her head with a baseball while they were playing. It was an accident of course but it had still hurt.

At his second question her hair morphed into a bright sunshine yellow, showing her excitement before quickly returning to the usual Magenta that she prefered. She had known she was probably going to get to meet other student since everyone was getting ready for school but the thought of more people to play with was exciting. "Yeah! My first year, pretty excited. My brother's told me that the castle is huge! Are you a first year too? It'd be nice to go in knowing someone other than 'Rian." It's not like she was worried about making friends or anything, it would just be easier to already know someone and this kid didn't seem to bad. He didn't yell at her for running into him at least, and he was in WWW so he had to not be boring. Boring people didn't shop here!

spaceJack grinned a little at the matter-of-fact way she said she'd had worse, spoken with a tone that only troublemakers ever used. The tired 'this is nothing, you should hear about the time I-' tone that inevitably becomes a competition in which you show off your multitude of scars. Though, looking at her, he'd wager she would win... by cheating. He'd bet his entire comic collection that she would use the powers he was about 90% certain she had to fake a really dramatic scar, in an equally dramatic location, and come up with an even more dramatic story for how she got one. Then again, maybe he was projecting a little, since that also sounded like something his Mum would do. And he would do, if he'd inherited the gene, dammit. Curse his luck and all.

spaceHe offered her a shrug, hand slapping the back of his pants as if there was a build up of dirt. There wasn't, because his family knew how to keep a shop clean, thanks very much, but he couldn't resist. "Oh, it's fine," he reassured her. "Not the first nickle an' dime I've fallen on it, won't be the last. Can't seem ter stay off it, actually." Alright, so he wasn't the most graceful of kids; he was a little too impatient for that. Except when he had a knife in his hand, of course, but that was more because his father had hammered blade safety into his head practically since the day he was born. You'd think he'd come out of the womb with one in his hand. Both by what a natural he was, and by how early that particular training had begun.

spaceHe grinned excitedly when she confirmed that she was a first year like him, nodding to her question. "Yeah, me and me cousins! Loike, four o' 'em, in fact. I fin'. It... huh. It might be more." He paused, tallying in his head. Of course he counted Tally and Tara as cousins, even though they weren't. Then there was Tris, obviously, and Loke, who was probably around here somewhere, now that he thought about it. "I can introduce you ter a couple of them, maybe! Loke, 'is dad owns this lollipop, actually, he might be lurking abaht." Jack winked, thrilled that he had an excuse to casually drop in the fact that his uncle owned the joke shop. She was here, and had clearly been in a hurry to get to something, so obviously that would score points with her. And he was all about scoring points with people.

Hello, wherever you are
Are you dancing on the dance floor
or drinking by the bar?
Tonight we do it big, and shinin' like stars
And we don't give a f*ck 'cause that's just who we are

Cammy snorted a little bit when he mentioned his habit of falling on his rear."Maybe you should get better balance." She joked. Of course she didn't really have any room to talk. Though her problem was mostly because she almost refused to wear her glasses. Well, at least she would wear them around her mother but any other time they were off of her face and hidden in her pocket. She hated those things.

She couldn't stop her hair from returning to that bright yellow once again. She hated that color but she wasn't the best at controlling it so she decided to just let it be. After all she was glad she was meeting another first year, who could introduce her to more first years! This was great! And to top it off, he didn't seem like a tosser so it would be fun to be around him! At the mention of the shop's owner she snapped back to what she had been doing before she had run into the boy, causing her hair to return to the same shade of purple as the pygmypuff ."I would love to meet more people but we can totally talk and walk at the same time right? I have to get me a Pygmypuff! My brother Eirian doesn't think I can't keep one hidden from our Mum and think's she will find it in a week." She explained, a fire in her eyes as she spoke. ."See, Mum hates having animals in the house, it's almost like she can sense them! But I'll prove him wrong. I'm gonna be super sneaky with him or her!"


And we are, we are, we are, we are, we are
The crazy kids, them crazy, them crazy kids
and we are, we are, we are, we are, we are
The crazy kids, we are the
We are the crazy people

FUTURE FIRST-YEAR UNSORTED
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Wyn left her father at the door as she entered Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes. While she loved him very much, some things were better done without parental supervision. Such as browsing a joke shop. She was excited, more than she'd been in a long while. Before now, going to Hogwarts had seemed like some far-off dream, but it was finally time to begin preparations! She'd come with a long list of purchases to make, but was taking her time so she could savor the shopping trip. To Wyn, savoring meant meticulously perusing almost every shop on the alley. She knew that the more time she spent away from home, the less time her father would be moping around. Getting out was as good for him as it was for her, and she liked seeing him perk up a little.

Plus, while she wasn't really a practical jokes kind of person, it couldn't hurt to have a few things stashed away on the off chance she needed a diversion or even a way to cheer up a fellow classmate. Upon entering the store, she was taken aback by the volume of knicknacks and whatsits lining each shelf. She passed by most of the explosives and joke products, pausing to toss a few extendable ears into her shopping bag along with a self-inking quill and a Rubby O'Chicken. She wandered toward the defensive items section, thinking, now this is more like it. Into the bag went two decoy detonators and a pack of Peruvian instant darkness powder. Those oughta come in handy if I end up stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Just as she was turning to leave, one other section caught her eye. Normally, Wyn didn't eat anything she didn't cook. She knew it was a habit she'd have to break once she arrived at school. Regardless, there was one exception to her rule, and that was sweets. There was no denying, the girl had a major sweet tooth. She made a beeline for the sweets section, knowing that there would probably be a few misleading products there, but hoping for something delicious nonetheless. A song her mother used to sing popped into her mind as she browsed, and she caught herself softly singing, "Lollipop, lollipop, ooh lolli, lolli lolli..." Her voice trailed off as she suppressed the thoughts that were sure to follow. As mopey as her father was these days, Wyn knew it didn't take much to put her own self into a downward spiral.

She had a handful of Canary Creams and was eyeing the glow-in-the-dark bubblegum when she heard the voice behind her. Startled, she whirled around and looked him up and down. He was a dark-haired boy and looked no older than she was. A little embarrassed that he had heard her singing, she let out a nervous chuckle. "Well, um, it's really just this song my mum used to sing. I don't know for sure but I think it's just called 'lollipop.' I think it's also a really old song, like from forever ago. Do you like music?" Wyn suppressed further thoughts of her mother. Her wounds were still pretty fresh and she wanted to avoid getting teary-eyed in front of a stranger. Besides, if the kid was around her age, it was likely she'd see him at Hogwarts either this year or next. You don't want everyone at school to think you're a crybaby, she thought.

It seemed to Wyn to be a little bit of an odd start to a conversation. In fact, it was a little bit of an odd way to meet someone new. But, she supposed, it was as good a way to meet a fellow Hogwarts student as any. She did her best to seem warm and smiled as she greeted him.

"My name's Wyn. What's your name?" It still felt a little odd using her nickname, though it had been about a year since she'd made the change. Names that ended with "ie" just felt so common, so overused. Wyn resented her mother for giving her an "ie" name, among other things. She'd sworn to be more creative with her own children's names, if she ever had them. Her thoughts caught up with her, and she realized there was at least one more piece of information she wanted from the boy, in order to decide where she should file this encounter in her memory.

"You look like you're around my age," she noted, "Do you go to Hogwarts, or are you going soon?" It would be nice to know someone beforehand. They were a pretty isolated family, especially since, well, since she'd gone. She hoped it wasn't too many questions, but also she wanted to know if this would be the first or last time she'd talk to the kid. If it was the last, she wouldn't need to remember his name or anything, but if it was the first she wanted to keep track. Names and details came in handy when one needed friends, and Wyn didn't want to spend seven years without friends.

As the boy made his comment about her mother, Wyn felt as though she'd been punched in the side. She tried her best not to show it. Really, it had been nice to have her mother around, and Wyn had taken for granted the sound of her voice. She missed how pleasant it had been. She also missed the warm hugs, the meals she didn't have to cook, the adventures they'd go on... though her father was doing his best to play the role of both parents, a girl Wyn's age needed her mum. And Wyn did not understand why the woman had changed so suddenly. She knew her mother was alive, but it didn't really feel like it. The mum she knew was gone and Wyn doubted she'd ever see her again. It was a mourning she had to do every day, but there hadn't been a funeral and there wouldn't be. She felt her eyes sting with moisture and she choked back the sudden emotion. Now you've done it, she thought. He's gonna think you're weird, and he'll probably tell everyone. Still, she let herself move on. There wasn't much else to be done about it now, and the conversation didn't stop, for which she was very grateful.

"I like all kinds," she responded to his question about music. "Well, not all kinds I guess. It has to at least mean something, it can't be just the obnoxiously repetitive nonsense people only make because it's catchy. It needs to bring some kind of feeling. And you're right that quieter music is nicer." She thought she might be rambling a bit, but it was all she could do to move on from the onslaught of upsetting thoughts and memories. Music was a nicer subject than mothers.

He proceeded to introduce himself, looking back at another boy around his age sitting behind them. She offered a wave to their onlooker who Brian had introduced as Eric. She wondered how long he'd been watching. "Nice to meet you both," she said loud enough that they both could hear.

She was happy to hear that he'd be going to Hogwarts soon. Good, I'll have an acquaintance or two after all, she thought. Her eyebrows wrinkled together a little when he spoke about school. "Wait, have you never been?" she asked him. "To school I mean, like at all?" She thought about her own early school days and wondered what it would have been like if she hadn't gone. There was so much she wouldn't know, both academically and socially. "School's not bad at all, and my dad's told me loads about Hogwarts. It sounds wonderful, and I'm going this autumn. So... if you need a friend, you'll have me." She pushed herself a little at that last. It was, she thought, maybe a little bold to offer a hand in friendship so early, but Brian was at least as nervous about school as she was and maybe a friend would ease those nerves.

He then pointed out that the handful of candies she was holding were not your everyday sweet-tooth satisfiers. She dropped them back in the bin feeling a little foolish. "Oh um, thanks for telling me." She laughed a bit at the absurdity. "Do you know which ones are safe to eat?" She considered it for a minute before amending, "On second thought, I'll just make some sweets at home later, I think I have some dutch-processed cocoa for tootsies."

Wyn nodded in agreement with Brian's musings about music. She'd been listening to it more and more in her spare time. "There are lots of types of music," she offered. If he liked quieter music, he probably wouldn't be into the heavy metal she listened to. He might appreciate some of the oldies, but Wyn felt compelled to share something a little more mellow and a little more meaningful. "Right now, my favorite artist is called 'Sleeping at Last.' A lot of his music sounds kinda sad, but I really like the lyrics. It's like listening to poetry. Maybe I'll send you some songs, do you have an email?"

She was glad when Eric, the white-haired onlooker, joined in. It felt a little odd carrying on conversation with his friend while he just stared. Plus, now she had two acquaintances. The more the merrier. A lot of what he said, however, gave Wyn a little cause for concern. What kind of parent doesn't let their kid go to school? she thought, unsure how to respond. She listened to Eric's slightly vague explanation and wondered if she should pry, but decided it was best not to dive too deep into sensitive subjects. She simply said, "That's odd, about your parents not letting you go to school." She turned to Eric. "I guess I won't tell you too much about Hogwarts, I don't want to spoil the surprise of it. I'm not sure what kind of crazy stuff they're talking about, but it will be great! I'm sure it'll surprise you. If you want, you can find me on the train there and we can sit together."

She shrugged at Brian's mention of the store owner, having been put off the sweets. "That's okay, I probably should just stick to my own sweets. I guess you can't always trust the candy you buy," she laughed, and her smile stretched to her eyes. She was glad Luke had brought them to the store. Wyn, of all people, knew how important it was to get out of the house. She'd also be glad to leave the store having made friends, if the boys were amenable.
