You are wandering through Diagon Alley when you come upon a shop that you were sure wasn't there a second earlier. The peeling aged paper substance on the outside of the small building makes it slightly forbidding, and the smell of old paper meets your nose. The cobble stone flooring leads to a red mat with gold lettering saying "Welcome". A gust of wind slithers through the alleyway, and inside of the empty shop you hear the whispers of crackling paper, beckoning you inside. Drawn to the strange little shop with one red window pane with shutters closed, you push the door in and enter. Instead of bookshelves and walls all you see are what look like newspaper clippings. You lean forward to read one of them, when suddenly a withered old woman jumps up from behind the desk and leans forward, surprising you.
"Hullo!" She cries joyfully. Her graying hair is back in tight bun, and on her nose small spectacles are placed. The folds of wrinkling skin part in a wide smile as she says in a motherly way, "Welcome to the Emporium of forgotten Wizarding Treasures! I'm Chessie, and am more than happy to answer any of your questions. Feel free to look around and enjoy the spectacle. Our little gift shop is in the back, I hope you enjoy yourself." And with that she pulls out a plate of fresh made cookies, with a cup of milk just for you.
The woman is a bit cocky as her sparkling eyes twitch, and as she insistantly shoves the plate of cookies to you. Perhaps she's not in her right mind, but humor the old lady-right?
As you munch into the warm chocolate-filled cookie your eyes begin to wander over the papers covering the walls...

Here's the low-down. You post crazy, made up wizarding world failures!!! It's your time to shine. Use your creativity and show us your harry potter invention! All you have to do is make up an ad, and post it in our emporium. Remember, you are trying to sell some stupid, pointless, or even hazardous object, but you try to make it sound appealing! For example: You could type up an entire ad on a slice of moldy cheese, and post it here. Every old, forgotten and miserable failure that has ever happened is posted in this shop on the walls. You can even make your own ad for the gift shop to sell if you like. Have fun, and make this almost like an rp. People can come in, and read ads- or you can just post one. If you DO post an add, I'd ask that you put it in the "document" format. I'll show you how this goes, so don't worry. Enjoy your chocolate chip cookie, and have fun gazing at the Emporium of forgotten wizarding treasures!

YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT!!
Mr. Iminsane wishes to invite you to his rare egg auction. Prepare to step into a world of your wildest dreams. He is currently offering the Suicide egg!
This little egg has been passed down from family to family for thousands of years-luckily there was a successor before the former suddenly died of some strange cause. After much consideration they have decided to sell it to the highest bidder.
Believe it or not, this egg, which is only one foot in diameter, is full of surprises and power. It can: scream, burst into flames, freeze to your fingers, give you a heart attack, create a minor earthquake (on rare occasions), produce a threatening tornado, make poisonous gases, create a massive explosion, give you food poisoning, cause a car accident (or a broom accident), sprout the black plague, fume the root of evil, sing deafening mermaid songs, grow a twenty foot poisonous tentacula, become the devils snare, make a sixty pound axe grow from inside of your head and eventually rupture through your skull, bite like a werewolf, swallow a human being, sick a ninety foot python on you, cause lightning to strike you from a clear sky, spread disease, cause fevers to soar over 180, bring about sudden death and so much more. (We just don't know it yet, because these are the only ailments that we've seen the family members suffer.)
It's yours for a limited time only-bring your friends, and you may be the lucky purchaser of the suicide egg!!!
WARNING: May cause Death in any shape size or form, brain damage, insanity, pain-and lots of it, birth disfunctions, the fear of everything, permanent hospitalization, broken nails, blood disfunctions, broken or severed limbs, loss of teeth, loss of hearing, loss of sight, fear, sudden aging, the sound of nails being dragged down a chalkboard, transformation of the body, natural disasters, and just about any horrible thing you can imagine...

ARE YOU READY FOR WARM AND FUZZY FEELINGS OF JOY TO SPROUT FROM THE DEEPEST PART OF YOUR INNER CHILD, SO THAT THE LOVE AND KINDNESS OF THE WORLD WILL SPREAD TO EVERY NATION ACROSS THE GLOBE, AND SAVE A WHALE IN RUSSIA?
Neither am I, so shut up and listen. I'm going to sell you something at a rediculously high price that I picked up out of the trash can that my Mother-in-Law's bum half-brother lives in, and I wouldn't pay a ball of lint for:
"NUMB!" The NOT sensation, NOT doing anything fantastic; but draining the innocence from pure souls!
You receive "NUMB" in a box shaped something like a kumquat. If you're lucky, you'll get it at your doorstep when you order at exactly 2:03 a.m., as soon as the world undergoes atomic holocaust, on the Eve of our Lord 307 BC, and your mother is eating a samich while watch the Food channel.
"NUMB" is an indescribable substance that distorts the intelligence of anyone it comes in contact with. The closest we've come to describing it, is what a waterbuffalo looks like when it's playing poker upside-down.
Craving a little insanity? GOOD FOR YOU! ORDER NOW!
WARNING: Victims- I mean . . . CUSTOMERS of "NUMB" are known to vanish without a trace, or found weeks later in a coma surrounded by gorgeous, drunken women and a happy Tongan.

Mmm Mmm Good!
Hungry? Starved? Famished? Ravenous? Just want a Snack? Come buy a COOKIE! Offered only fo a limited time! (They become harder than steel within moments)
These delictable little...er big cookies are the newest rage in town! After the very first bite you will be stuffed to the brim and will never have to eat anything ever again! That's how full you will be. Of course you would die from starvation if you don't but you'll be sick if you do eat something else.
For only 10 galleons you can purchase a whole half of one of these cookies! And the best part is that they are delivered to you by sweet-looking old ladies!
Note: these cookies are poisonous and will kill you within moments of coming into contact with your soon to be boil infested tongue.

XD That was cool. I'd like to order half a cookie, please. Oh, if you look at the currency exchange thread (or something...I forget what it's called...) a Galleon is about $10USD. -laughs-
