Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes is a popular joke shop that started as a small school business created by Fred and George Weasley in the fourth book. It opened its doors at Number 93 Diagon Alley in the summer of the sixth book, using Harry Potter's Triwizard Winnings as starting capital. Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes sells joke and trick items, useful novelties, and Defense Against the Dark Arts items. Fred and George started using the name "Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes" in Goblet of Fire for a mail order business selling merchandise, including sweets to help students skip classes. To run their own joke shop had always been their lives' ambition, an ambition they were able to realise when Harry gave them his Triwizard Tournament winnings of a thousand Galleons. After an early departure from Hogwarts in Order of the Phoenix, the two Weasleys set up their shop in Diagon Alley, which quickly became a huge success. Weasleys' Wizard Weezes has to be temporarily shut down in Deathly Hallows, because the Death Eaters are keeping an eye on all the Weasleys, but Fred and George continue to run an Owl-Order service. After Fred Weasley is killed in the Battle of Hogwarts, George and Ron continue to run the shop. Ron later quits and becomes an Auror.

Ami looked around in awe at the joke shop. She had sneaked out of her summer home to come here.Nobody cared enough about her to notice, although the houseelves were looking for her. That's why she disguised herself by dressing plainly to blend in. All the house-eleves would be looking for a girl in Prada or Gucci etc., but she was wearing a sweatshirt she bought when visiting Harvard, an old jean skirt, and the ugliest pair of shoes she could find. The house was too big for only one person to live in, and she had been lonely and depressed. She needed some laughter and happiness in her life, so she came here. Ami sighed as she notices that the shop was empty. It seems as if everybody was going home merrily to reunite with family. And once again, Ami was all alone. She sighed as she gazed at her galleon filled pockets. If only money could buy happiness.

As they entered the store Drago's jaw dropped. "This place is huge!" He ducked as a paper dragon flew over his head spewing smoke. "AWESOME!"

3rd year Gryffindor Al grinned at the delighted look on Drago's face. "Cmon! I'll buy you a Skiving Snackbox! They're wicked popular. It's a range of sweets that make you just ill enough to miss class, so much fun!" She giggled and skipped over to the Skiving Snackboxes, having to weave through all the people crowding the shop. She grabbed a package that wasn't battered looking and had to pull down her skirt a bit so it wouldn't ride up as she stood on tiptoes to reach it. Taking the package, she handed it to Drago with a grin, letting him read the description.

Drago read the back out loud with a laugh. "Puking Pastilles, Nosebleed Nougat, Fever Fudge, Fainting Fancies? These really work?"

3rd year Gryffindor Al nodded, smiling and grabbed another box that let you have an amazing daydream when you slept in class, hats that made your head vanish, sheild cloaks that let minor jinxes bounce off of you, and showed all of it to Drago. "It's amazing, isn't it!!! It all really works, this store's been around for years."

"Is there anything they haven't thought of that students would love to use? Are those wands?" Drago pointed to what looked like normal wands.

3rd year Gryffindor Al giggled as Drago pointed to the fake wands that turned into rubber chickens. Supressing her laughter and saying in the most serious tone she could manage, "Pick one up and find out."

"ok" Drago said picking one up curiously. He waved the wand and jumped as it clucked and changed into a rubber chicken. "What the... sweet!" He said with a laugh.

3rd year Gryffindor ((Just hurrying it up a little so we can get to the action part you planned, just so I can go to bed fairly early.)) Al smiled and laughed when the wand emitted a loud SQUAWK and transformed, then she showed him the other ones as well. They paraded around the entire shop and Al forced Drago to let her buy him one of the Skiving Snackboxes in return for the lovely necklace he had given her. "I owe you" She kept saying when he protested. At last when he gave in they walked out of the shop, and Al asked with a tone like they were in a Muggle mall rather than a wizarding street filled with strange things, "Now where to go?"

  Zoe Dylan.........Third year
It's about time for some action. Summer was all too friendly this time. Thought Zoe, entering the shop while digging her pockets for gold. I wonder what type of Canneries would Zen and Zach make. She smirked imagining her twin muggle brothers burst in to feathers at the dinner table. Of course, her father would yell at her suppressing a gigantic giggle while her mother shoo offs Zen and Zach the Canneries from the table. But it will worth it. Zoe surf the selves for some Cannery Cream, occasionally ducking from flying objects, humming to her self "leaves on the vine..."
