Default Dervish and Banges


Dervish and Banges is a small, dusky little outlet located at the end of the street in Hogsmeade. Squatting between a few wooden pillars painted to look like marble, the green and gold building seems to be more of a remodeled mausoleum than a Wizarding place of business. As you enter the hideous, peeling green door and inhale the thick scent of sawdust and mildew, you'll likely question whether or not the shop actually was a mausoleum at some point.

Squeaky floorboards, musty smells, and creepy feelings aside, the place may appear to be in an eternal state of decay, but the sagging shelves stocked full of shiny, brand or like-new knickknacks say otherwise. The shop sells both new and reconditioned items of both the Wizard and Muggle variety, such as...
  • Do-It-Yourself Cauldron Repair Kits (or for a fee, D&B will do it for you!)
  • (kit: 1 galleon, 13 sickles, 11 knuts) (repair: 2 galleons, 11 sickles, 16 knuts)
  • Replicated Goblets of Fire (looks hilarious to drink out of!) (3 galleons, 8 sickles, 2 knuts)
  • Omnioculars (new: 4 galleons, 7 sickles, 28 knuts) or (used: 2 galleons, 8 sickles, 5 knuts)
  • Remembralls (new only) (1 galleon, 8 sickles, 9 knuts)
  • Replicated Resurrection Stone Rings (great gag gift for your grandparents!) (2 galleons, 16 sickles, 18 knuts)
  • Sneakoscopes (handy) (2 galleons, 3 sickles, 4 knuts)
  • Spectrespecs (quirky) (1 galleon, 16 sickles, 22 knuts)
  • Restored But Non-Functional Time-Turners (nerdy) (2 galleons, 8 sickles, 5 knuts)
  • Wand Repair Kits (useful) (1 galleon, 3 sickles, 7 knuts)

Take your time, walk around, pick up one of the coupons off the back counter, and try to not be intimidated by that looming shopkeeper just behind it at the back. He doesn't talk much, but he's got it where it counts, kid. Oh, and don't steal anything. Roundhouse kicks to the face are not fun....for you.
