Hogwarts Pranks

Marcus entered the shop.

He just loved it. It was noisy and full of pranks. I need to stock up on these before teaching.... he thought. He would welcome his class with a lot of fun and give them out to have his kids pull pranks on other teachers. Marcus browsed around passing by love potions, ton-tongue toffees, and more. He decided to grab a bag and put a bunch of pranks in there to buy.

This didn't look right.

A graduate buying pranks. Not that Marcus cared about what people thought of him, anyway. He looked in his bag filled with jokes. With his bag, he approached the counter.

"One headless hat, 3 ton-tongue toffees, and 3 canary creams," he said, placing the bag onto the counter.

Jack was rarely behind the counter in her shop, preferring to be running around whenever she was actually able to come in. Running the shop, holding a job at the Ministry, and carrying out business with the Order pretty much meant Jack went home to sleep, and for no other reason. She spent less time in the store than she would have preferred, so when she was there, she liked to be in the thick of it.

However, her staff did need a break from the clerical duties on occassion. And some little kid had shived a bunch of Puking Pastilles in his mouth, and Jack would be damned if she were the one cleaning that mess. She had volunteered her least favorite employee and took his spot at the register, adding her own advice to each purchase.

"You know, the upgrade box is only a little more."

"If you're buying three of those, you might as well get the half dozen deal for two sickles more."

The next man to come up and order looked familiar. She stopped and raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you a little old for these juvenile pranks. Who is your target? Your kid brother?"
