Mandrake, on the other hand, had insisted that they take a look around since they had time. Not able to argue with his reasoning because their mum was still Christmas shopping, she agreed - under the condition that they go to the bookstore or Wiseacre's next.

Her brown eyes scanned the shop, taking in all of the colour that was splattered about. Gilly had to admit that, though chaotic, it did make things pop, which she was sure helped with sales. The advertising tactics, though, weren't tempting her at all. Belch Powder? Dungbombs? Nose-Biting Teacups? She was going to pass on all of that, thank you very much.

"Find anything interesting, Drakie?" the curly-haired girl asked her twin. She certainly hadn't.
While his sister was seemingly unimpressed, this nine year old was in heaven. The brightly colored balloons scattered throughout the store, the loud fireworks display with little miniature demos, the bright colored fluff balls that was clearly the Pygmy puffs. He wasn't actually sure where he wanted to look around first, so Gil's question of if there was anything interesting? "Everything looks interesting!" He chirped back at her, turning bright excited eyes towards her before looping his arm through hers and tugging her towards one of the displays.

Fireworks first, he supposed. Perhaps something that was most likely to get his sister also a LITTLE impressed, considering these weren't about 'immaturity' but instead just about enjoying pretty colors. Who didn't like that!? "Ooooh, how much of the sky do you think the Wizarding World Cup fireworks actually take up? Like... is it just ONE pop at a time or do you think they'd go all out and have like... 5-10?" He reached out to pick up one of the boxes, before hearing mums voice in his head reminding him to look with his eyes and not his hands and he stuffed them into his pockets instead. "You think mum would like a firework display for Christmas?"
