Welcome to Gaia! ::

Is it alright if I make up a few book titles and such for the shop to sell?

Yep. C: Just make sure if you put the authors, they are made up people as well.

I'm excited to see this shop!! <3

Fancy Foliage: Greenhouse and Apothecary is owned and operated by Basil and Constance Scantlebury. The small shop, located in a small, seaside village in Wales, specializes in both muggle and magical flora from many different regions, including their medicinal properties and potions uses.

--Fiendfyre: Perfect! xDDD

--Ele: Accepted. <3

C: Wonderful.

I'm making this stuff up as I go, since I figure we need more shops and stuff that aren't connected to our characters for some reason or another. I'll add a few more as I think of them, but here's my first idea for you to accept or deny.

World Variety
World Variety is a store run by Atticus and Eloy Coyle. The two men are both major travelers, and over the years, they've collected information and objects from all over the world. When they decided to settle down together, they chose to start the store in hopes of keeping connected to the traveling theme. They use their connections with wizards all over the world to keep their store stocked with good items, as well as to get their stock for cheap.
World Variety is a store found in Diagon Alley that sells both rare and common magical objects from all over the world. They sell things ranging from rare potion ingredients that come from animals that only live in certain countries to things as simple as clothes woven from special materals or created in designs common in other counties. Their major specialty is their selection of books on magical rituals, spells, and other such things that are used in other countries and cultures instead of wands.

Ariose Vox Vocis - The caster rotates their wrist once counterclockwise, finishing with a gentle flicking motion. This spell causes the target to be able to speak only by singing, and when cast properly generally lasts about an hour. When cast, it appears as a golden mist showered upon the target.
((I don't rightfully know the origin of ariose, but it seems to fit.))

Explico - A simple charm meant for the undoing of other simple charms and spells. However, one must know how to cast the original spell as the wand movements for this charm are the exact opposite((Performed backwards, in the opposite order)) of those used to cast the spell the user is attempting to undo. The limited range of spells this charm can affect, combined with the inability to perform it without first knowing the original spell makes Explico rather useless outside of classroom use or for at home. This charm has no visual effect, such as sparks or flashes of light.

I verify that I did indeed come up with these spells on my own, and any similarity to any other fan-made spell is merely coincidental.

EDIT: Alright, I was planning ahead(in case I'm approved for DADA), and noticed that a lot of the hexes have names, but no incantation. Therefore, the following spells are not of my creation, although I did slave over the making of the incantations. And it was only halfway through that I realized it would be a good idea to include how exactly I came up with said incantation.

-Auris Velico - Twitchy Ears Hex

-Ostendo Sum Genu - Knee-Reversing Hex

-Caecus Totus Oculus- Basic Bedazzling Hex
-Omnis Autem Mei Oculus Caecus - more advanced version of the Bedazzling Hex, bedazzling all but the caster

-Obsto - Revulsion Jinx

-Pertingo Minus - Basic Stretching Jinx
-Pertingo Ultum - stronger Stretching Jinx

-Proditicastigo - Hermione's 'Snitch Jinx'; derived from prodit(treason, betrayal) and castigo(reprove, chasten, punish).

-Crucasses - Tripping Hex; derived from crur(leg) and casses(net, trap, spider's web)

-Jugisgarrio - Babbling Curse; derived from jugis(continual, perpetual, ceaseless) and garrio(to chatter, babble)

-Aertueor - Cushioning Charm; derived from aer(air) and tueor(guard, protect) ((Obviously not a hex, but I was just dying to have an incantation for this one, and it's a rather handy spell to know.))

Shops &Businesses

A.H.C- Auror Help Center. (Title up for revision if anyone has a better name.)

A store dedicated to selling potions, spell books, devices, etc. that can help a potential auror. Ex of Merchandise: A potion that can make an auror undetected by a sneakoscope (dont kno if thats possible but its an idea).

Besides unassisted stealth skills that an auror needs this stores merchandise can up the chances of success in an auror's mission. Of course no cheating when it comes to taking the exams.
