Long before the Weasley's opened their shop in Diagon Alley, Zonko's was the premier joke shop in Great Britain. Stop in to pick up all your prankster supplies, but be sure to tell the professors at Hogwarts you bought them ELSEWHERE.
So this was Zonko's. Conrad wasn't really big on practical jokes but he figured he should stock up on a few in case the guys in his dorm decided to start a prank war or something. Alvy had said he'd better be prepared for anything living away with so many kids and this was a start, or so he hoped.
Hands tucked deep into the pockets of his jeans, the soon to be fifteen year old browsed the selection. He really should've asked Brain to come with him because right now, he wasn't exactly sure what items were best.
As soon as they were allowed out of Hogwarts, Matt DASHED OFF and ran like crazy towards Zonko's joke shop because HEYO, JOKE SHOP, WOOOHOOOOOO!!!! That was ALMOST as good as the Weasley's Wizards Wheezes. Almost. "HELLOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" He called out to no one in particular once he entered the shop. Of course, he was greeting the shopkeeper because Matt was POLITE like THAT, but that was also towards whomever wanted to receive a hello. Hello, hello.
Right, he was after something VERY SPECIFIC. Now, where was it? The boy HURRIED around the shop and accidentally bumped into a boy he had never seen before. "HisorrydoyouknowwheretheScreamingYo-yosare?" Matt spoke as fast as he was moving. HE NEEDED THEM NAO. QUICK! QUIIIICK!!

Emerald was working in the back, putting up wares on her shelves that had just arrived this morning. The delivery guy had been in a grouchy mood since some of the prank items had gone off by themselves and caused a scene in his truck. Emerald had smoothed things over the best she had could while trying to not look too amused. It was just a hazard that came with the prank items she loved.
She had heard the bell ring twice to alert her to her new customers. Drying off her hands on her apron the brunette made her way out into the front of the shop in time to hear someone yelling HELLO at the top of his lungs. Massaging her ears against the ringing in her ears, she made her way towards the sound that turned out to be coming from two boys in Hogwarts age.
Putting her hands on her hips Emerald stopped a few meters away to look from one boy to the other. "Hello, can I be of assistance? We have lots of nice discounts on items that can get you out of class like puking pastilles or maybe some fireworks to get a house party started."

Conrad's mother would've been appalled had she heard just how loud the boy who'd just entered the shop was. The thought alone made the Hufflepuff cringe and he tried very hard not to have her voice in the back of his mind as he did his best to hear what the kid had to say. Errr...."Sorry mate, didn't quite catch that." Also, he wasn't even sure it was in a language he could understand. It sounded very unfamiliar to him.
To make things even more interesting, they were then joined by the shopkeeper and Conrad's ears went pink because she was really very pretty. Pretty females tended to make his brain fuzzy and so he sort of just smiled sheepishly for a moment or two until his brain formulated words. "Oh no, not me. I'm fine. He-that kid-he needs something. I'm fairly certain he mentioned screaming but I didn't really get the rest."

And house party, what? "No- Yeah, no, Scraming Yo-yos, I need Screaming Yo-yos URGENTLY, do you have any? I can demonstrate what they are too, you know, like AAAHHHH and UUURRGHH and OOOOOWWWWW when you do this." The Gryffindor mimicked the movements one did when playing with a yo-yo. "You know?" He asked looking from the shopkeeper to the random boy. "You've had one of these before, right? I mean, they are pretty cool! Do you want one too? I can't buy it for you, but yeah, they're still pretty cool." They WERE pretty cool, did they understand that?

Letting her eyes travel from one boy to the other Emerald wondered who of them had made all the racket? Screaming wasn't something she was fond off and especially not in her shop. Gazing over at the boy who smiled somewhat awkwardly at her she raised a brow at him as she asked. "You don't? Then you're just here to browse around among the prank products?" Or did he want something that he had forgotten?
Turning to the other boy Emerald kept her hands on her hips as he told her what he wanted. Which incidentally was a screaming Yo-Yo, unfortunately for her and the other unluckily boy he felt the need to demonstrate why he needed a Yo-Yo and thus started to scream again. Emerald endured it and then commented a hint of disapproval creeping into her voice. "That demonstration was unnecessary." Moving to the nearest shelves on the left, she searched around until she found what she was looking for. Grabbing a yo-yo Emerald turned around, and held it out towards the boy saying. "Here you are, you're very own screaming yo-yo." She wasn't going to say if she thought it was cool.

Conrad would've answered the shopkeeper but the boy he was standing beside had screamed and he was fairly certain hearing loss was occurring right now. Yes, the Behrmann boy looked downright horrified by the kid's behavior because his parents would've killed him if he'd ever acted like this. Maybe that's WHY the kid felt free to do so-no parental supervision. It was a theory. NOT one he felt comfortable exploring, but still.
Unnecessary demonstration indeed.
"I'm uh...all set with one of those, but thanks for the tip." They were interesting as far as inventions went but Conrad couldn't see himself ever getting any joy out of owning anything like that.
The demonstration had been unnecessary. "WELP." Now they knew what he wanted. And nooooooooooooooo, Matt wasn't going to apologise because PSHHH nope. It was a JOKE SHOP so people there needed to BRIGHTEN UP a bit. SHEESH.
But that didn't matter anymore because "YEEEEEEEEES, THAT'S IT!! THANKS!!" HE NOW HAD HIS VERY OWN SCREAMING YO-YO, WOOHOOOOOO!!! "HOW MUCH IS IT, MA'AM??"
...
Okay, now he was doing it on purpose. Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

"You mentioned the puking pastilles?"
At least one of the boys seemed sensible or maybe he was just protective of his hearing? Emerald couldn't tell which was accurate but she hoped it was both. To protect her own hearing against the screams from the yo-yos she had cast spells on her ears and on the yo-yo's to not let the product drive her nuts. The customers liked them so she had to keep them in stock regardless of how much Emmy despised them.
This boy was more interested in puking pastilles. She couldn't blame him. They had more uses than screaming yo-yo's and were more subtle. Nodding Emerald turned her eyes on the boy and smirked. "I did. Very handy they are too. Puking pastilles are an easy way to get you out of class. Eating some will make you vomit within seconds. You can use them to get back at someone too. Slipping it into someone's food can make for some interesting reactions." It all depended on what you wanted to acheive.

Then the yo-yo boy had the nerve to start screaming again out of pure spite she imagined. Emerald was anything but amused. Ears ringing she muttered eying the boy up. "Stop screaming right this minute or I'll escort you out of my shop without letting you purchase that yo-yo." Yes she could and would do that. Rudeness was something she did not and would not put up with in her shop.
"The yo-yo costs 4 sickles. Do you want anything else?" Emerald asked in a softer tone all though she had to struggle to find it.

Natalia was freezing! Why did she leave the castle? Winters around ehre were hell for her. She never missed Australia, honestly she tried to even hide the accent she carried because everything about that place brought back bad memories. BUT the thing she missed was the weather this time of year. She'd be in shorts and a tank at there, not layered in a thousand different pieces of clothing.
Carrying her candy bag she walked into Zonko's holding Rome's hand. He wanted to go in and she couldn't tell him no. "What are you looking for that would be in here?" She eyed him suspiciously. "I want to go to a few shops to look at outfits. I want to get some new ones for the trip." He didn't mind shopping with her, did he? If he did she could always find Kali and Kelly. It wasn't hard to find them around here and she was sure they both had come.

Roman didn't mind following Nat and accompany her to shop. It was bloody cold outside too but that didn't stop them from having their date. Thankfully, the heating charm worked on his hands. It wasn't all that bad. So far, he had fun walking around with her going into sweet shops and all that jazz. He might have taken a few sweet display samples though, and already eaten them along the way. Why waste precious sickles on them when you could eat them for free?
Smirking back,"You'll see. Come on...let's go in and find out, shall we?" Yes, he was definitely not telling her until she sees it for herself. He entered the shop with her and made his way to the Pygmy Puffs section. He held up one and showed it to her. "I thought maybe you would want one of these, cute little buggers aren't they?"he said, wiggling his eyebrows.

Winter had come and dug its claws into Scotland to show everyone that the cold was not to be played with. It was freezing degrees outside and inside Emerald had to cast numerous heating charms around her shop just to make sure none of her little creatures for sale froze to death. That'd had been a too tragic way to die.
With her apron and arms full off supplies Emerald left the backroom and headed out into the shop to stock some supplies. Hearing voices of customers she sharpened her ears as she headed for the candy section. Shelving the pastilles, she spotted a good looking couple that were eyeing up the pygmy puff selection further down the aisle. Going closer to them she said beaming her best shopkeeper smile "Hello, helo, welcome to Zonkos! If you buy two pygmy puffs. you get one for free. Aren't they just cute and charming?"

Thankfully she didn't see him taking the sweets, she would have made him go back. MMhmm girlfriend would make him do the right thing. "Okay, okay" She giggled a bit at his excitement wondering what sort of prank material he was going to get or what he was doing. One just never knew when it came to Roman and that was what just part of what she liked about him. Though there was so much more than anyone else really ever got to see.
AWWWWWWWWW
They were adorable, she went over to the one he was holding and pet it on its head. "They are so cute." She kept wanting a cat, but was never allowed to have a pet so her smile turned into a frown. "I don't know if Joe would let me." They were so cute though, ugh, maybe he wouldn't even notice it. It was super small.
Seeing the shopkeeper come over to them she laughed, "I don't think my dad would be happy if I brought three of them home." She looked back at Roman though, could one be okay? "They are adorable." She gave him a puppy dog look with her brown eyes. "Yes I want one." He talked her into it. Not that it took much, look at those cute balls of fluff.
Roman grinned, stroking the creature lightly on its head as well. "I knew you would like them. I saw them here the other day, I couldn't resist." He explained to her. Guilty. Holding one up and kissing the top of its head too. Yes...yes...he was a sucker to all things adorable and creatures such as these...sorry not sorry. Especially, puppies! He turned around when the shopkeeper came to greet them. Wow, three for the price of two. Not a bad offer! Unfortunately, her dad wouldn't let her have a pet of her own. But look at her puppy dog eyes, urgh...there was absolutely no way he could say no to that. He nodded, chuckling a little.
"Pygmy puffs are easy to take care of, right?" he asked the shopkeeper. Just to make sure they weren't a handful when adopting these creatures.

Bentley had a decent chunk of change in his pocket. He had been waiting for the moment he'd be allowed to go to Hogsmeade for sooo long and now finally it was happening.
He slipped away from company so he could stack up on some Zonko's stuff, because it was going down later with the stink bombs in the GRyffindor boys dorm.
He cackled to himself as he pulled stuff from the shelves.

The call of a practical joke shop was just too strong for Hadley Denaker to resist. And yet, ironically, she found Wizarding practical joke and prank items to be quite lacking. They weren't that different overall from the stuff you could buy as a muggle. And that to Hadley was rather disappointing.
Stink bombs? Real original there. Where were the really inventive stuff? The stuff that truly magical. If you asked her, there was a lot of potential here that was being wasted. Hads wandered absently from aisle to aisle, hoping deep down to spot something that truly wowed her, and yet, nothing. Nada. It was starting to bore her.

Smiling at him, he really did know her well. She looked at him for a moment before letting her brown eyes fall back on the pygmy puff. "Think if Joe freaks about it we could maybe keep him at your place?" It would just be summer and breaks, the rest of the time the cute little puff would be with here at school. Though it was so small, Joe really wouldn't have an issue, would he? She hoped not, but one only knew when the time came.
Looking at the others she couldn't decided which to pick though. What color was best. Her eyes went back to the one in Roman's hands. He looked so cute with it in his hands. When he asked the shopkeeper how hard they were to take care of, she was only half listening, because her mind was pretty much made up.
"I think the one in your hands is the one I want." He's just so cute. She smiled at the ball of fluff.

The Joke Shop was always a good place to go and waste an afternoon away. There was always something interesting to see or do-- without having to spend a knut. Not even Honeydukes can beat that good of a deal.
So in goes the curly haired Gryffindor, poking about and playing the latest and greatest thingamajig prominently displayed near the door. Obviously it was meant to be used one way, but how typical would it be for the leonine lad to come up with more interesting ways to use it eh? That’s riiiiight.
But ever the observant one -- or ever distracted, depends on who you ask-- Tenacius spotted a familiar back of the head. Sneak sneak sneaking up atchuuuuu...
-- "Whatchudoing??" he surprised his friend as he suddenly clasped the boy's shoulders from behind. Hehehe.

Yawn.
Was he going to miss a trip to Hogsmeade when the students of Hogwarts were allowed to visit? Nope! Not Aditya Rehman! There were so many persons that he had to see. Ilia, Henric, Ava, Janelle, Esme... the entire crowd! But first, he was stopping by at one of his favourite shops- Zonko's! Yep! After Honeydukes, this was his favourite one.
"Got to stock up on those pranking products,'' he said happily as he enthusiastically bounced from shelf from shelf examining the products. Adi was only the look out for new products as well. "I've got a few dungbombs le-''
BUMP!
What was that squishy thing that he had collided with?
Adi looked down, adjusting his spectacles as he did so, spotting a young girl. "Sorry, kiddo! I didn't see you there!'' Maybe if he was a little less bouncy and paid attention to where he had been going...
"Looking to grab some stuff to prank your friends? I suggest the Frog Spawn Soap.''

Did he just need stink bombs or did he need to get anything else? Bentley rubbed his chin as he looked up and down the shelves. It's not like he couldn't take Justin's stuff and use it against him....but having more stuff and taking Justin's was even better.
Bwahahaha
So stink bombs and ------
AHHHHHHH!!!
The Gryffindor almost threw the whole content of his basket in the air.
"Tenacious! Bloody hell man! You almost scared me to death." And he had a good mind to thump the second year boy too.

Thankfully she didn't see him taking the sweets, she would have made him go back. MMhmm girlfriend would make him do the right thing. "Okay, okay" She giggled a bit at his excitement wondering what sort of prank material he was going to get or what he was doing. One just never knew when it came to Roman and that was what just part of what she liked about him. Though there was so much more than anyone else really ever got to see.
AWWWWWWWWW
They were adorable, she went over to the one he was holding and pet it on its head. "They are so cute." She kept wanting a cat, but was never allowed to have a pet so her smile turned into a frown. "I don't know if Joe would let me." They were so cute though, ugh, maybe he wouldn't even notice it. It was super small.
Seeing the shopkeeper come over to them she laughed, "I don't think my dad would be happy if I brought three of them home." She looked back at Roman though, could one be okay? "They are adorable." She gave him a puppy dog look with her brown eyes. "Yes I want one." He talked her into it. Not that it took much, look at those cute balls of fluff. "How much are they?"

Holding one up and kissing the top of its head too. Yes...yes...he was a sucker to all things adorable and creatures such as these...sorry not sorry. Especially, puppies! He turned around when the shopkeeper came to greet them. Wow, three for the price of two. Not a bad offer! Unfortunately, her dad wouldn't let her have a pet of her own. But look at her puppy dog eyes, urgh...there was absolutely no way he could say no to that. He nodded, chuckling a little. "Pygmy puffs are easy to take care of, right?" he asked the shopkeeper. Just to make sure they weren't a handful when adopting these creatures.

Though it was so small, Joe really wouldn't have an issue, would he? She hoped not, but one only knew when the time came.
Looking at the others she couldn't decided which to pick though. What color was best. Her eyes went back to the one in Roman's hands. He looked so cute with it in his hands. When he asked the shopkeeper how hard they were to take care of, she was only half listening, because her mind was pretty much made up.
"I think the one in your hands is the one I want." He's just so cute. She smiled at the ball of fluff.
Unloading the stock of supplies she had in her apron Emerald had briefly stepped away from the couple to put the wares up on the proper shelves. However she was still within ear shot and turned to the woman with a broad smile as she asked for the prize of the pygmy puffs. "One pygmy puff costs 1 galleon 4 knuts and 10 sickles." They didn't seem interested in buying two puffs so Emerald wasn't going to push it. She had though advertised the offer and that was all she could do.
Blue eyes turning to the man Emerald nodded. "Pygmy puffs are very easy to take care of. They eat almost everything from leftovers to spiders and they enjoy being squished and cuddled a lot. They like to squeak and roll around and are very good pets for children and they come in various shades and coloures. The Pygmy puffs are bred from puffskeins so they are very alike their kin in mood and character."
"So what will it be 2 pygmy puffs or just one?"

He slipped away from company so he could stack up on some Zonko's stuff, because it was going down later with the stink bombs in the GRyffindor boys dorm.
He cackled to himself as he pulled stuff from the shelves.

Emerald knew it was Hogwarts weekend when her shop suddenly was filled with laud mouthed younglings. Emerald was making an order of wares by her front desk counter when first one boy and then another entered her shop. She didn't immediately approach either of them. She let them browse around but the high-pitched surprised yelp that came from one of the boy's some seconds later had her on her feet and sprinting on her high heels towards the aisles assuming the worst. Entering the aisle with stink bombs and other smelly wares she let her eyes drift from one boy to the other. "Is everything all right here? Who yelped?"

Stink bombs? Real original there. Where were the really inventive stuff? The stuff that truly magical. If you asked her, there was a lot of potential here that was being wasted. Hads wandered absently from aisle to aisle, hoping deep down to spot something that truly wowed her, and yet, nothing. Nada. It was starting to bore her.
Yawn.

BUMP!
What was that squishy thing that he had collided with?
Adi looked down, adjusting his spectacles as he did so, spotting a young girl. "Sorry, kiddo! I didn't see you there!'' Maybe if he was a little less bouncy and paid attention to where he had been going... "Looking to grab some stuff to prank your friends? I suggest the Frog Spawn Soap.''
Emerald had never been a big fan of Filibuster's Fireworks and her view hadn't changed for the better especially since she had been dealing with a faulty batch all morning. With her hair untidy and all over the place Emerald was tidying up after the firework mess and carrying some in her arms when she entered an aisle where she happened upon a duo of an older boy and a younger girl that was inspecting the frog spawn soaps. In a conversational tone Emerald began saying to them "You could also try the tongue tying g..............................."
When a firework in her arms, ignited itself and soared out of her grasp and towards the boy's head barely missing him with a few inches before it flew towards the girl, made a circle around her and then headed for the ceiling. Emerald yelled in a panicked voice "Watch out! Watch your heads! The firework might soon combust and it will start raining paper and things........." Oh dear. She was so mad at Filibusters right now. No more faulty fireoworks please???????????

Hadley was just about to give up on this aisle and go peruse the fireworks instead, because fireworks were amazing, when SMACK. Some dude just ran into her. "Hey, watch where you're going!"
The young teens expression softened though, when as way of apology the boy offered a suggestion for her to get. Because Sorry, Kiddo, just hadn't cut it. Hadley picked up the frog spawning soap and examined it. "This might be fun to use on Rachel," she said. Hads looked up at the guy, studying him. "You don't go to Hogwarts?" Granted she didn't know everyone, but it was a small enough student body that Hadley did, sorta, usually, recognize the other students to some degree. Did he live here, or know people that lived here or something?
Then, just as the shopkeeper was offering a different suggestion: SCREEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSHHHHHH!!!!! The scream of a firework filled the shop as one of the ones the shopkeeper was holding flew past the guy's head, barely missing him. Then the thing started to circle Hadley's head like a very loud, angry shark before swinging wonkily toward the ceiling.
Out of danger for the moment, Hadley watched it with excitement. "Cool! How much are those!?"
|G&T=<3|Snuggles her ALI!| <3's Saz |Master Lurker|
Echo has never been in the joke shop yet, which was pretty surprising to her. For some weird reason every time she came here she had a nice relaxing time with her books and a nice cup of tea or butterbeer. Opening the door slowly she made her way inside.
There was just so much!!!!! where would she start? it seemed like they had everything that she could think of.
Smiling at him, he really did know her well. She looked at him for a moment before letting her brown eyes fall back on the pygmy puff. "Think if Joe freaks about it we could maybe keep him at your place?" It would just be summer and breaks, the rest of the time the cute little puff would be with here at school.

"So what will it be 2 pygmy puffs or just one?"
Roman nodded and shrugged,"Sure. I mean even if your dad finds out, just tell him you're just looking after it for a friend. Technically, that's not a lie." Besides, he didn't mind taking care of this little one by himself and carrying it around with him. They all seemed to fit snugly inside his coat pockets too. Even got Nat wanting the one he was holding. "You want this, Nat? Are you sure?"he asked again, grinning as he gently set the pygmy puff on her shoulder. He didn't think this small white pygmy puff ball would give them any trouble at all.
"He's really calm, isn't he? Maybe you should give it a gentle squeeze, french-fry...he might like that." A smirk playing against his lips as he said that. Looking back at the shopkeeper,"Maybe just one for now...oh right... what other basic needs we need to get for the pgymy puff? Is the little cage inclusive?" he asked sweetly. Yes, Roman....let's do a bit of haggling while you at it. Not that he couldn't pay for them but he liked a bargain.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!'' Adi told the girl again, bouncing happily on the soles of his feet. He was forever full of energy, yo! She looked fine, no harm done as far as he could see. He laughed. "You like pranks too?" And this Rachel she was planning to pull the prank on was in for a surprise! "Nope, I don't! I graduated two years ago but I always come over on weekend you lot are allowed to visit the village so I can catch up with my friends.''
Hmm? Was the shopkeeper offering a suggestion? Suggestions were always welc- GREAT HIPPOGRIFFS! ROGUE FIREWORK! Adi dodged the thing, his excellent cricket and Gobstones reflexes coming into play. But the girl, was she okay? Yeah, she was! PHEW! Thank Merlin!
Adi's eyes zoned in on the ceiling. Would it explode or was it kind of a dud? "I'm with her!'' He jabbed a finger at Haddie. "I want to know the price for that too!''
Zonko's was of course a required stop for any third year on a Hogsmeade visit, at least according to Henry. Sure, it wasn't quite as amazing as WWW, but it was a very close second and definitely a fun shop. He had a galleon plus change in his pocket reserved just for this very store though he wasn't completely sure what he wanted to get.
Fireworks had been at the forefront of his mind, but could he really set them off anywhere at Hogwarts? He was not the type of boy to ever go looking for trouble or to purposely break the rules, but they sure would be awesome. Certainly it wouldn't be against the rules to buy some smaller ones and find a good place on the grounds to set them off.
And this was what he had in mind to purchase when the Hufflepuff entered the store. Of course, he wouldn't be opposed to buying something else in here as well. This store was awfully cool, after all... Now where were those fireworks?
