| | |  Zonko's Joke Shop
 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.

| Anyone?
Halloween! Halloween was here and Emerald had spooked out her shop extra much with halloweeny pranks and jokes. She had even put on what she thought was Halloween appropriate music in low tones in the background. She had candy of all sorts in stock both candy to prank people with and the more common sweet kind.
Emerald wasn't exactly a fan of dressing up in costumes but Tony had persuaded her so she was now prancing around her shop in a Wonder Woman costume with the red cape, boots and very short shorts and feminine top to boot while pushing a joke cart ahead of her. Now where were those kids at?

Now where were those kids at? Ollie walked into Zonko's as he usually did. It was the first stop whenever he went to Hogsmeade, thanks to his brother. Although Ollie now did go there on his own account, as he learned to really like the shop too.
The fourteen year-old had enchanted his own forehead to be in a mountain-y shape as he was going to be Worf from Star Trek for the day. He had done a pretty good job at it, if you asked him! He was, however, avoiding touching his forehead for now because that felt really freaky.
Anyhow, Zonko's! Hello!
Oh. And hello, shopkeeper. The boy was momentarily mesmerised by the sight of Wonder Woman pushing a joke trolley thing in front of her. What... an interesting sight.
Blink. | |

Blink. Emerald was singing along to the music playing in the background as she pushed her cart along the aisles restocking products as she went and making mental notes on what was popular and what wasn't and maybe needed to be advertised better.
She first heard the door bell chime and then halted her cart in fright at the sight of the scary mountain-y-shaped head of the student that had just walked into her shop. Taking a long breath not to clam herself and not panic Emerald hastily plastered on a selling smile even if her voice sounded a bit shaky. "Welcome to Zonkos, the wonderland for all pranks and joke needs. What may I assist you to find today? Maybe some slime frogs or freaky skull teeth turning candy?"

It seemed like the lady was as stunned at his sight as he was at hers. Ollie chuckled and fully stepped into the shop, letting the door close behind him. "I do like the sound of slime frogs!" He said, walking towards where she was, but stopping after only a few steps. "Wait, what? Freaky skull what?" Ollie had never heard of those! He still liked the sound of slime frogs better, but who knew, maybe the other stuff was more interesting?
"Can I have a look at whatever that is? And the slime frogs too, please." He added with a grin. "I um... I like your costume!" The Gryffindor said trying not to sound awkward, but he could feel his face starting to turn pink, so he looked at whatever was in the shelf next to him. "And I like this shop too." You know. That was why he was there.
Gah.
Awkward Ollie was awkward. | |

Awkward Ollie was awkward. It was the boy's heads enchanted state and look that had thrown Emerald for a surprise. It was something muggle she was sure. She laughed along with the boy since she had read somewhere that laughing at least once a day was healthy. When he came over she smiled broadly "Of course you can, the slime frogs are right over there by the counter. They're sweet candy frogs with a slime layer that fills up your mouth." Emmy gestured behind her. "There you also find the chewing gum that turns your teeth skull-like for 10 minutes it's a halloween special. Excellent for tricking a peer."
Beaming Emerald did a little twirl on the spot. "Thank you, I like your enchanted head costume too. Is it from a muggle book or film?" The boy's statement made her beam even warmer. "It's so nice to hear that. It warms. I try to make the shop a heaven for everyone's prank and joke supply needs. What do you usually come here to buy?" Polling product popularity was always good.
