Default Zonko's Joke Shop


Long before the Weasleys opened their famous shop in Diagon Alley, Zonko's was the premier wizarding joke shop in all of Britain. The outside of the shop is bright red, which purposefully makes the building stick out from the others located on High Street. Stop in to pick up all your prankster supplies and have fun, but be sure to tell the professors at Hogwarts you bought them elsewhere should you happen to be caught breaking the rules.

Vivid colours pop out to your eyes and sounds of all pitches fill your eyes upon entering the shop. Items on display are moving around and whizzing above your head, so keep a watchful eye out for things on the ground and above you. There are also large signs posted around the shop that say "BUY BEFORE YOU PRANK!" and "NO DUNGBOMB WARS INSIDE THE SHOP!" courtesy of the shopkeeper.

She had dropped some of her sugary rings on the parchment, so there were some round milk stains along one side but otherwise the parchment was in pristine condition. Anna's penmanship left much to be desired as well, but since this wasn't for homework it was okay.

Spotting her favorite lizard loving family member, Anna skipped the remaining space between them with great haste while shoving her list into her pocket. This meant that the parchment was now all kinds of crumbled and wrinkled, oh well. "Gueeeeeeess whoooooooooooo," she hummed while covering her Little Lizard's eyes. "Bet you only need one go to know."


Lally had been minding her own business when suddenly everything was dark!! The first year shrieked, first thinking it must be some prank from the joke shop someone had set off, and then realizing that no, it was just someone's hand over her eyes. She heard the whooooo of a familiar voice and quickly wriggled free, beaming when she saw that it was indeed her favorite wisest most fun and reassuring cousin.

"Anna!" she said happily. It wasn't as if she hadn't seen her recently, but after the surprise, it was a relief that it was just Anna. "What are you doing here?" She'd only been in the shop for a little bit, but she would have expected Anna to be in the candy shop or exploring outside instead.

Anna, naturally, did not try to keep Little Lizard captured when she started to wiggle free. At least here she didn't have to worry about loss of tail!

"Good guess," she giggled while hooking her arm around her little cousin's. Her free hand, and arm since they were attached, went to rummage through the oversized pockets of her coat for a very wrinkly bit of parchment with her own loopy handwriting on it. It was, if you could catch enough of a glance at it, was a checklist of sorts with hearts for ticking off instead of squares or circles. "I'm here to go on an adventure with you, of course. Here on this list are fantastical artefacts waiting to be discovered to help you get better acquainted with all the wonders and perks that are Hogsmeade Weekends!" Paper in hand, the third year attempted to smooth it out against her stomach. "That is...if you think you're brave enough to handle it..." she added with a playful smirk and overly exaggerated wiggly brows. "I mean...the first thing on the list is to find something yellow..." she mused with an eager glance around the shop.

Lally wished she was surprised Anna had another adventure for her, but she really wasn't. And after exploring Diagon Alley together, she was almost enthused for a pseudo-guided tour of Hogsmeade. She raised her eyebrows, her best attempt at faking apathy about the idea. "I don't know, Anna..." she started, reeeeally trying to seem disinterested.

She was terrible at this fake apathy, though.

Soon enough, Eulalia was leaning in to see the parchment for herself. "Something yellow?" She dug in her pocket, pulling out a pair of Hufflepuff-yellow mittens. But...she supposed if it was something she already had, that wasn't in the spirit of adventure. Instead, she glanced around the shop, looking for the slightest hint of yellow packaging. She pointed at the NO DUNGBOMBS sign. "Like that?" she looked back to her cousin for approval.

The bad at apathy thing must be genetic because she was bad at it too!

So while Anna did not entirely believe Little Lizard's act, she was quite good at going along with things and pretending so she played her part with wide cruppy eyes and a pouting lower lip while pressing her palms together and fingers pointing right up to the ceiling. She knew she wouldn't really have to beg her to participate, but the build up was part of the fun of an adventure. Sometimes you needed to nourish the anticipation, you know?

Lowering her center of gravity just a little so she could follow her cousin's indication more easily, her eyes brightened and smile widened. "Ding ding ding! We have uncovered our first clue!" she declared triumphantly as she proceeded to take long, exaggerated strides over towards the sign. "Dungs bombs. Hopefully you won't ever have one used on you ooooooooor accidentally have one go off in your hand...because it's pretty nasty. Okay, next clue is...to find something that sparkles and shines!"

Eulalia followed her cousin's long strides with several short, quick steps of her own. Being the youngest, she had quickly gotten used to walking quickly to keep up with longer legs. She wrinkled her nose at the idea of a dungbomb going off. It just sounded gross.

"Something that sparkles and shines?" The first year repeated. She looked around, then swung an arm around her cousin. "Isn't that just yoooou, Anna?" she said with all the sweetness an eleven-year-old could have. More seriously, she looked around the shop some more.

She gestured toward the windows. "Or is it the windows? I guess those are sparkling too."

Lucky for them both, they had pretty similar stride lengths since the fairies at Anna birth had not bestowed her with the gift of height. It was okay though, she already looked up to everyone anyway so now she could literally do so always. Well, unless she had a growth spurt which she supposed was going to happen at some point. Mum may keep a secret or two about things, but Anna would never call her a liar and especially not about something so important as womanhood!

"Eulalia Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaan," the third year giggled as she threw her arms around her little cousin and gave her the more endearing of squeezes that she could muster. This wasn't exactly the way she had imagined the scavenger hunt going, but there also weren't really any rules when it came to creative endeavors so whatever the Little Lizard made from it was what they would do with it. "Next stop...the windows!" she declared with another triumphant point and conquesting stride forward. "Next and final clue to the treasure...is to look for the mark of a beast upon it!"

There were plenty of Zonko products with creatures on them and Anna was very keen to see which it was that caught her little cousin's attention first. Would it be the Chinese Fortune Sticks or Frog Spawn Soap or... or or or or oooooooor....she couldn't wait! AND it would be her treat at the register.

Eulalia smiled as she endured Anna's squeeze. She hoped she could be as confident, sparkling, and exuberant as her cousin one day, but she didn't think it would be anytime soon. Still, she followed her cousin to the windows, grateful for what was becoming essentially a tour of Zonko's.

A pack of trick bubble gum caught her eye on the walk over, and she wondered if it was levitating bubble gum or the sort where the bubbles were fun shapes. She didn't have time to investigate, however, for soon she was being asked to look for...a beastly treasure?

Lally looked blankly at her cousin, then peered at the nearest display. There was some soap with frogs on it, but she didn't like frogs. They were too gooey. Lizards were much better, so she wandered further from the windows, looking for something (anything) with a lizard or a dragon on it. She hoped for a lizard, but soon began to worry she wouldn't find anything that was worth treasuring.

Finally, she stopped by the Nose-Biting Teacups. They did have lots of different designs, so she supposed she might find one with a beautiful, scaly design. One by one, she examined the teacups. There were plenty of floral designs, but she found one that had a menagerie of creatures displayed. Including..... (drumroll please) a salamander! Clearly she couldn't tell what kind of salamander, but if it was a fire dwelling one, it would keep the tea plenty warm. Not that she'd be drinking from it herself, she didn't want to get her nose nipped. Selecting the creature-covered Nose-Biting Teacup, she spun around to show it to her cousin.

"This one has lots of beasts!" she exclaimed.

The search was afoot! Anna wished that she had a nice pair of explorer's boots for the occasion, the sort that were covered in straps with plenty of golden buckles and a sensible heel. She wasn't sure what a sensible heel was...but she had heard mum say it from time to time so it must be elegant and powerful. Anyway! Anna was following her little cousin as she searched the shelves for the source of the sound of the object which called to her...

Standing literally on her tippy toes as she pranced about, the Hufflepuffle took a moment to take in the wares in this particular vicinity - for future play - but soon had her attention back on her Little Lizard. "You found it!" she exclaimed, her arms up in the air and waved them to and fro as a victory dance. "The long lost biting tea cup of the messager to the Snowy Owl Queen herself, Sir Haigha! With it at your table, every tea party will pack quite the bite!" she proclaimed as she extended her hands towards her to accept the teacup. "My treat. And we can grab a sweet on our way to the register too."
