Long before the Weasleys opened their infamous 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, who would be happy to assist you in your pranking needs.
What perfect timing for a Hogsmeade visit! His brother's birthday was coming up in a few days, so that gave Ollie some good time to buy him a nice gift.
The young Gryffindor knew exactly where to go to grab something Matt would love: Zonko's Joke Shop! Ollie knew that his brother would love anything from that shop, so that would be an easy choice.
Only... he wasn't really expecting to have soooooooooooooo many options when he walked in!! "How silly..." Ollie said about himself, shaking his head. How could he expect any less than all of those weird and wonderful things??
The most difficult part would be now. Just what to get Matt???

Lily was happily bouncing along to Hogsmeade, she was so excited! This was her first time here! Her bright blue eyes were wide as she looked around at everything there was to see! She decided on going to the joke shop first, to find something for her Aunt Ava, and a few of her cousins... she'd visit the hair salon later..
Her deep brown locks were bouncing along her shoulders as she walked into the joke shop with a smile..
"Pygmy Puffs.. this is amazing " The young Slytherin said as she slowly turned in a circle..
"Where to start?" She asked herself as she backed up a bit and felt shelf bump straight into someone!
"Ohh! I'm so sorry!" Lily was quick to turn around and apologize to the boy she had run into.

Emerald already regretted that she had said yes to the shipment of wares that was now whizzing around above her head, moving around on her shelves and filling her shop from dawn to dusk with a myriad of sounds. It was good thing that Emerald could cast a spell on her ears to block out the worst of the sounds or she'd get constant headaches. No customer appreciated a cranky shopkeeper.
Pushing a cart full of edible prank sweets, like puking pastilles, nosebleed nougats and edible dark marks and hiccup sweets to name a few Emerald left her storage room to head out among her aisles. If she remembered correctly it was Hogwarts weekend this weekend so it was no surprise when she turned left into an aisle and happened upon two kids. Plastering on her brightest and most inviting smile she greeted "Hello there! Welcome to Zonkos Jokeshop! Are you two looking for some edible pranks to give to some unsuspecting friends or maybe a get out of class pastille?"

Whoa, Hogsmeade weekend already? That was fast! It seemed like they were just here. Not that Fiyero was complaining, of course. He always enjoyed a visit to the village.
Today he decided to check out Zonko's (his favorite shop in Hogsmeade) to see if they had anything new and/or fun. He could use a laugh! And come to think of it, he thought the rest of Hogwarts could too. Too much weird stuff going on! They needed something to lighten the mood, and he was going to give it to them. Nothing too dangerous, though. He wasn't Peeves! He wandered through the store, picking up a few things as he went: some hiccup sweets, a nose-biting teacup, a few dungbombs. What else should he buy?

Ollie wasn't deep in thought or anything. He was more amused at all of the things he was seeing displayed around the shop, but he was slightly startled when someone bumped into him. "That's okay." He replied to the girl who seemed around his age. "I suppose you're wondering what to get too?"
And help was on the way! Yes! Ollie perked up when he saw someone who seemed like a shop worker coming in their direction. He looked into the cart she was pushing and listened to what she was offering. "They sound like a nice add-on to something a little bit bigger." He considered out loud, looking from the stock to the shopkeeper. "I'm looking for something for my brother. He likes pranks and things. I think... I think I can get something for him to play with, but..." Ollie looked back down at all of the prank sweets and thought for a few seconds. "Maybe I could take some of these to prank him with!" The first year turned around at the girl who had bumped into him to get her opinion. "What do you think? Is that too mean?" He asked, not really believing it would be that mean, as he knew Matt himself had already gotten lots of people to eat those things before.
