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 if 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. Take your time, walk around, pick up some coupons, and try to not be intimidated by that looming shopkeeper just behind it (he doesn't bite ... much).

~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.

With so many shops to explore, eleven year old Dynah didn’t know where to begin. Like… AAAAAAAHHH! She wanted to run from one of them to the other, taking in all each had to offer just because. Luckily she possessed Daddy Adi’s energy and Dy was extra determined to get around the quaint little village as much as she could today. It didn’t matter if she did it alone or with her two siblings later.

The Hufflepuff randomly chose this ancient, ugly looking shop first. She nearly backed out of it the moment her eyes observed the interior but her fathers didn’t raise no quitter. Nooooo, Sir! Once she got past the dilapidated state, Dy was intrigued by the many objects she saw around. OOoooHHHhh!!! Did they have violin strings???? A couple of hers had busted recently due to intense practice and… well. A girl could use replacements.

Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

Brandon had decided to explore places. Quietly. He just wanted to see everything, to know where everything in the world was, and to know everything that other people missed. Today, he was exploring another shop in Hogsmeade.

He was pretty impressed, honestly- this place was proof that you couldn't judge a book by just its cover. It looked creepy. And... old. And creepy. But it was pretty cool on the inside! Brandon wandered around, looking at everything. There were cauldron repair kits and wand repair kits, that Brandon couldn't use but was drawn to out of a need for independence. Replica goblets of fire, replica Resurrection Stone rings, real(???) but broken time turners. Omnioculars for watching sports. Spectrespecs- what were they for? Remembralls for when he needed to remember things. Sneakoscopes- he took one from the shelf... no, TWO. One for him and one as a Christmas present. As he turned to go pay, he bumped into a girl his age. He wasn't actually sure if she bumped into him or he bumped into her or who was in whose way, but he was happy to blame himself anyway. "...Sorry... didn't see you there." Please don't be mad at him for his mistake!

Creepy and old made a rather nice combination if you asked Dynah.

The creepy vibe was something her instincts were quick to creep up on and it made her think of a haunting melody she had recently taken up practicing on her violin. To her, it spoke of some sort of haunting with a layer of sadness just beneath the surface. Thinking about this made her eager to get back to the Castle to do a rendition of that piece.

The Universe, it seemed, had plans in delaying her because she was suddenly bumped into. This made Dy shuffle to the side without any control of her feet. “Don’t worry about it.” By this time she was clutching at the shelf before her to steady herself. Looking over at the source of the voice, she saw it was her fellow first year Huffleuff. “Oh, it’s you, Brandon. Hi! Excited because of those Sneakoscopes or something? Do they actually work? And did you notice any violin strings around?”

Brandon worried about it anyway, concerned at the fact that he'd made her steady herself. He felt like apologizing more, but he'd figured out by now that people got uncomfortable after two or three sorrys. He just thought them in his head. "Hi, Dynah... I was just going to get a sneakoscope for me and one for my sister as a present. I thought it would be useful, even though I don't really know if they work." He wanted one just in case. He shook his head. "I haven't seen any violin strings. You may have better luck at a music store. But you have to tell me if you see any, because I need some too!" As a backup. Just in case.

"So you're a violinist, then?"

Yes, please don’t apologise again, Brandon. Your apology was received and processed; the result was that you were forgiven.

Dy tilted her head in the Sneakoscopes’ direction. “I doubt everything in here works,’’ she mused, nodding knowingly. “You know… we can test them out right now. We just need to do something untrustworthy.” The girl grinned wickedly at Brandon. She had an idea or two if her Housemate was game.

“Yeah. In Diagon Alley but I really don’t wanna wait that long. Why doesn’t Hogsmeade have a music store?” Ugh! “Since I was seven! My daddy’s into the guitar and I tried that for a bit but it wasn't my thing.” Dy held out her hands, palms up. “My hands aren’t smooth because of all the callouses I’ve gotten since then from playing. How is it that you have not heard me play? I guess sound doesn’t travel that well from the girls' dorm to the boys’? How long have you been playing? Or are the strings not for you? Oh hey!!! We can be violin buddies if you play!’’

Yes, Dynah could rather talk a lot.

Brandon was the complete opposite of game. "I'm not untrustworthy," he answered. And he wasn't going to do anything untrustworthy. Was she untrustworthy? He was worried. "What are you planning?"

Brandon liked violins much more than untrustworthiness. He nodded along at her explanation. "I've played for a long time too. My father made me." He did like the instrument though, when he practiced by himself and not with his tutor. Brandon had to do more forced instrument-playing than his siblings... his brother was too young to suffer through that, and his sister had never needed forcing to play the piano. Nor was her tutor as strict with her. And his brother was too young to have tutors at anything. He resented them sometimes... which made him feel terrible. He loved them! It was just that he was always the worst one off when it came to upbringing, though not always when it came to personal life happenings. And he didn't think it was nice at all to be a middle child. He wondered if Dynah had siblings. He didn't know.

Brandon looked at her hands, noticing that they were not smooth. He had played for almost as long, but his hands were very smooth and soft. Curious. Then he tuned back into her words... which quickly overwhelmed him. He blinked, trying to process. "...I didn't know it was you playing," he said. That was about the only part he caught. She wanted to know how long he'd been playing... violin buddies? He liked to play by himself, so he just pretended he was too overwhelmed by words to respond, which was mostly true anyway.

Dy would have laughed had she known what Brandon was thinking about her. “I’m trustworthy, don’t worry. There’s nothing wrong in having a little fun in life at times, right?” There was a wicked grin on her face. “I was thinking that we knick something. Nothing major.” They may or may not return it later.

“He… made you?” Dynah looked carefully at Brandon, trying to imagine being made to do something by her fathers. She failed spectacularly in that aspect because her fathers always encouraged her and her three siblings to pursue activities that interested them. Sweet dad Adi {whom she took after mostly} and gently papa Benny. “You love playing it though, right?” Because it made no sense doing something one disliked.

There was nothing wrong with having smooth hands even if one spent lots of time playing the violin. The strings had hurt her hands at first, on the very onset of her taking up the instrument but as she practised more, the problem solved itself. The callouses seemed to be a permanent thing but that was okay; Dy used a special salve to prevent them from getting worse. “Yep! That was me!” Ohhkaaay! It didn’t seem that Brandon liked her violin-buddy idea that much so she changed the subject somewhat. “Got any particular genre of music you like playing on your violin?”

Brandon tried not to look as horrified as he felt. "That's wrong. I have money to pay. Don't you?" And also, what if someone found out and came after them to hurt them? And what if it stayed on their conscience forever? Was Brandon going to commit his first ever actual crime? No. "Stealing isn't fun. It's dangerous, Dy. Don't do it." While Brandon had been in lots of danger, he didn't like to put himself in the way of it. He also couldn't let other people do that to themselves when he had the change to stop them.

Brandon secretly wondered if Dynah was going to steal from him too.

"Um... sometimes when you are forced into playing the violin for years, you find a way to like it," Brandon responded carefully. "It's definitely a beautiful instrument, and being musically talented is nice." Brandon didn't quite know if he liked the violin or not. In any case, he played every day, since it was a familiar activity. Brandon found it hard to stop a routine like that. And it wasn't the violin's fault that he felt all conflicted. So... the violin was still being used. ...he felt bad for ignoring her question, and eventually responded. "Maybe not violin buddies, but we could play together sometimes..." As long as she wasn't going to steal from him. Or talk the whole way through when they were supposed to be getting lost in the music. "I just usually play alone."

"I mostly play classical. I have favorite artists and moods within that, but I was never taught anything else."

"I mostly play classical. I have favorite artists and moods within that, but I was never taught anything else."

“I have money, Brandon,’’ Dy assured with maddening calmness and patience. “It was only a suggestion because I wanted to see if the Sneakoscopes would think I’m untrustworthy for wanting to steal and they’ll light up.” The girl eyed the objects through narrowed eyes. “Though I suppose they won’t light up if it senses that I really don’t intend on stealing.” Dy relaxed her gaze. “Oh Brandon, you silly, caring boy. Stealing’s not my thing either.” Brandon was a real friend, wasn’t he? “So, are you going to get one of them? I kinda want one too.

“As long as you like it.” Dynah considered Brandon, considered his words and felt a hint of sadness for him. No one should ever be forced into doing something they didn’t want to. At a very, very tender age she had learnt that from her fathers. “Music’s a good way to cope with stuff though. So your violin will help on bad days.” Her face broke into a smile. “Whenever you want to play, just let me know! I usually play alone too! For now, I just try to play songs that everyone knows but someday, I’m going to write my own pieces.” Don’t worry, Brandon. When Dy hit that first note, she got absolutely lost and forgot the world around her. “Who’re your favourites?”

"Good," Brandon replied, cautiously relieved. He wouldn't have let a friend do that. Or a friendly acquaintance. Stealing was always wrong, except for if you were stealing something you really needed and couldn't get otherwise. Like food or a jacket or bandages or something like that. He did believe her when she said she was only trying to trigger the sneakoscope(mostly because the sneakoscope remained still). But now he had a worry about it.

Brandon wasn't a silly, caring boy! Well... maybe a little. Just not in that tone. "I'm getting two. You should get one as well!" They were supposed to be useful. It certainly didn't hurt to have one.

He nodded at the stuff about coping. Sometimes he played violin to feel better. Other times he did wood carving. Other times he liked to read, or get someone to hug him forever. All of those were nice. "We could do a violin duet. That could be cool." And it made more sense to him than playing a solo song together. Woah! Writing her own songs? Brandon perked up at that. "You should send them to me when you do so I can play them." He hesitated at the question about his favorites. Who were his favorites? "Um... it depends on the day? I can show you my music folder, where I keep my favorite pieces for safekeeping." As long as she didn't steal it. Ha ha.

My, my.

Hadn’t Brandon been a worrywart about this? Dy easily saw how relieved he was when it was relieved she hadn’t actually intended to steal. She didn’t fault him, however. It was a decent thing to want, that need to keep proper friends. Or acquaintances. Oh, he was a silly boy! But only in the best of ways. And caring? Definitely. Dy had a read on you, Brandon! She grabbed one from the shelf. “One for me!’’ the girl announced with a grin. “Are you giving your second to someone?”

Violin duets! “I would like that very much.” Her tone was sincere since there weren’t many friends she had that played the violin, anyway. Dynah was instantly flattered about Brandon wanting to play her future music. “I haven’t written a single thing yet but I promise to let you play it when I do. Right now I’m mainly focusing on taking those dance lessons from Jude before he graduates.” Because Dy wanted to be a performer, and when she found out that Jude was aiming to be the same, she was immediately enamoured by him. “Cool! I’ll be delighted to check that folder out.” It would help her to know more about the other Hufflepuff.

Was this shop a little creepy? Yeah.

But Ezra wasn't afraid of some dingy shop. He might not have any reason to go in there - mostly because he'd never been in previous years so he had no idea what the place sold - but that was all the more reason to check it out! It'd be nice to know what was there in case he needed something in the future.

And so the third year Gryffindor boldly pushed the door open to enter. Maybe a little too boldly, because the door slammed shut a little too loudly behind him. Oops.

It was probably fine though. Even though...it was definitely creepy on the inside too.

The actual items for sale looked fine though. Like those remembralls. And were those Time-Turners??? Ezra went over to examine them.

It was actually the slamming of the door that caught Anna's attention. Her head snapped around just in time to see some snow come tumbling off the rafters. Obviously the door had been shut with quite a bit of force...a clear indication of adventure and havoc amok! Crouching down, since she couldn't use magic here in Hogsmeade, the third year collected two fistfuls of snow and smashed them together to make a big (big compared to her fun sized hands) snowball which she would hurtle at whoever and whatever was waiting behind the door to this particular shop (she hadn't looked at the sign to know exactly). Maybe the shop itself was alive?!

Eyes wide, Anna tiptoed up to the shop and bounced in place a few times to shake out those nerves and bouts of fear before swinging the door open with all her Hufflepuffle strength. Her eyes had not yet adjusted to the darker and slightly danky interior that was...whatever shop this was...and at the first hint of movement (sorry Ezra), Anna shrieked and threw the snowball with all her might towards the source. Her form left much to be desired as she twisted back a bit and held the slightly lopsided blob of snow with both of her hands and then released with a twist from the hips and...it was just a messy throw in general but that was probably a good thing since the target (sorry Ezra...again) was not too far away.

"EEK!"

Pulling his eyes away from the (probably fake, he'd realized) Time-Turners, Ezra glanced over his shoulder upon hearing someone else enter the shop - only to be greeted by a shriek and a large snowball to the face.

"AGH?!?!"

The shock more than the actual strength of the impact made him stumble back a few steps and bump into the shelves behind him, smacking his head against one. The items on the shelves rattled, and a couple of them fell to the ground with a thunk.

"Ow. What the???" Why had someone brought a snowball in to throw at him?? Or had something in the shop come alive and done it???

Elias had an affinity with Hogsmeade, perhaps because it was a quaint Scottish village and so therefore was an environment that he was used to. Not that there was anything ‘quaint’ or ‘quiet’ about the Greenwood estate, it was a grand old house in the Scottish countryside with a scattering of other properties within its grounds. His family, his parents and siblings that was, lived in one of the old workers' cottages although that wasn’t small by any means. He wasn’t an outdoorsy boy but there was something comforting about the small village surrounded by mountains and rolling hills that could explain the briefest hint of a smile gracing his face. It wouldn’t have been noticeable to someone who didn’t know Eli well.

The person he was meeting did know him well however, so well that they lived under the same roof at home as well as at the school. If anyone asked, Elias would deny that he was close to his older brother and that being in separate houses was a good thing to give each other space. He did actually appreciate Ezra’s company however, even if his perpetual positive attitude grated on his nerves sometimes.

Being early (as he always was, tardiness was another thing that irritated him greatly), he slipped into Dervish and Banges to have a brief peruse of its wares before Ezra arrived.

Yeahhh, Mr White! Yeah science!

Ezra was in a chipper mood. Freedom from the castle for a few hours was more than enough to elate the chiefly optimist's disposition further. And there was the added bonus of seeing Elias!

He enjoyed the walk out on his own, oxygen filled his lungs and fuelled his thoughts of dragons and battles. He was blissfully unaware that he was running late and that Eli would be left waiting (and irritated).

As he approached the pretty village of Hogsmeade, his focus shifted back to reality. He strolled his way to Dervish and Bangs were Eli had requested they meet. Why they couldn't have met somewhere fun like Honeydukes or the tea shop was beyond young Ezra, but he had a habit of letting Eli have his way – mainly just for the easy life. Plus, a small single smile from Elias made it all worth while.

He entered the shop and honed in on Eli who was busy perusing the shelves. A mischievous smile crept up his face. He stealthed his was over, quiet as a mouse, and stood behind Eli without a word, with the intention of giving the younger Greenwood a jump scare. He held back a giggle that was threatening to erupt.

Thankfully, for Elias and perhaps more importantly Ezra, it had been drilled into the young lad that ‘constant vigilance’ was one of the most important sayings that a young wizard should remember. The second-year did not enjoy being snuck up on and was extremely adept at a hex or two towards the unfortunate soul who decided to test his boundaries. It was therefore only natural that he heard the muffled footsteps and sensed the less-imposing presence of his eldest brother behind him before anyone said anything.

“Ezra” he muttered, slowly turning over his left shoulder to see the Ravenclaw behind him. “I hope that you were not intending on attempting to scare me. You’d look even worse bald”. The Slytherin’s lips fell into a smirk at the image of casting an instant scalping hex on his brother, not the worst that he had learned but somehow it felt almost illegal to inflict anything more damaging than that on your own sibling. Onto another more annoying student perhaps, Densaugeo was a particular favourite of his. There was something so satisfying about seeing an irritating first year grow walrus like teeth. It was even more satisfying that this far he had also never been caught, it was all in the subtly.

As for deciding on Dervish and not Puddifoots, well it wasn’t exactly the right environment for a pair of brothers to be seen in. It was full of couples and its interior design needed some serious rethinking before Elias would step foot in its vicinity. Honeydukes was likewise full of giddy, sugar-filled imbeciles screeching about how exciting candy was.

Blah blah blah.. Constant vigilance blahh. Those stuffy old Greenwoods were like broken records – if that was the correct expression. A muggle music disc, right? Scratched and worn, repeating those same incessant bars of dirge over and over and over again until you were so used to hearing it, that you no longer heard it.

But alas, Ezra's plan had been foiled! His bright face fell a little, but Eli's next words were met with a giggle. Ezra bald? Oh noo. No thank you. “You wouldn't do that to your own brother.” Although, in reality, he knew that Eli most certainly would. “I'd look like an egg. I don't want to be an egg.”

He took a step back from Eli's personal space and surveyed him and then the shelves he had been busy perusing. “Whatcha looking for?

It might have been constantly drilled into them but there really was an advantage to being hyper aware of your surroundings. Knowing when your older brother was sneaking up on you was one of them. Elias had never seen their grandfather get into a wand fight with another person, he was intimidating without ever getting physical, but it was probably because Ewan would never let anyone get close enough as he was so in tune with his senses. Even if it was heard over and over again, Eli would never stop thinking about it.

That sounded like far too much of a challenge and had they not been stood in the middle of a shop, Eli might have been tempted to give it a go. “You know I would” he smirked a little, turning towards his sibling with a slightly sinister look. “I’m getting very good at hexes, I learned the Bat Bogey Hex the other day.” He’d even got to try them out on the occasion.. silently. Without getting caught of course, he wasn’t stupid. “Would you like to find out? I’m sure you’ll look far more like a chickens egg than a dragons.” His hand twitched towards the wand in his holster. At least it would be a harmless hex without any lasting effects.

“Nothing in particular.” Which was true. He picked up one of the non-working time-turners and turned it over in his hand, his nose wrinkling. “What is the point in having these if they don’t even work?”
