"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Ron wiped away his tears. He was at some muggle restaurant with his dad. His dad insisted that the whole family followed him to Muggle Cairo. Everyone got bored when Mr. Weasley started asking the muggles about life in the desert. Mrs Weasley decided to go shopping and Ginny followed. Percy decided to check out the muggle bookshop nearby. He wanted to get a book on muggle prefects (boring). Ron, George and Fred stayed in the restaurant to watch television.
"Muggles are funny creatures," Ron commented.
There was a fat man in a tutu dancing what seemed to be ballet on television. He turned to Mr Weasley and said
"Dad, do you think we could get one on these black box thingys? Oh wait, I think they're called the tellilly."
"Whatever for? It's not like we know how to work it and it's a television, Ron. Maybe if you pick up Muggle Studies."
Ron frowned. Ron's dad has been bugging Ron all summer to pick up boring muggle studies. He wanted his son to pick up an interest in muggles. Ron rather die than go for Muggle Studies. He heard that Muggle Studies was dead boring.
"Forge- HAHAHAHAHA!!"
The fat man was twirling and shaking his fat behind.
"Thank you very much. It has been a pleasure talking to you. I must say, your life seems really interesting," Mr. Weasley turned around and said, "Alright! Let's go!"
All three of them groaned in unison.
"Can't we stay a little longer?" Ron pleaded with a sad look on his face.
Mr. Weasley laughed and shooked his head. He hasn't seen that look in years.
"No, Ronnie (that was what he used to call him). Daddy wants to go to the Golden Pyramid."
"Aww.. isn't little Ronnniekins cute?" Fred cooed.
"Shut up! Alright, dad. Let's go"
---------------------------------------------------------
The Golden Pyramid was a really interesting place. The whole places was made out of gold and mud (horrible combination if you asked him). He looked up and saw Fedrotep's.
"Hey, Bill. What's Fedroteps's?" George asked.
"It's a really cool joke shop. I think you'd love it."
The twins were already heading towards the shop.
"Meet us later at the entrance later!" Mrs. Weasley yelled.
"Where should we go first?" Bill asked.
He got different answers at once.
"I tell you what, let's split up. We'll meet at the entrance later, okay?" Mr. Weasley said.
"Okay!"
Everyone went their own ways(except for Mr. & Mrs. Weasley and Bill).
Ron went to Blook Books. Ron was amazed the second he stepped into the bookstore. There were hundreds-no- thousands of selves filled with books, the walls had those ancient Egyptian writing and there was a statue of a lionman. What annoyed Ron was there was a Harry Potter section.
"Geez. I didn't know Egyptians worshipped Harry as well," Ron mumbled.
Ron explored the store. There were all sorts of books. The books were mostly about Curses. Ron picked up 'Ancient Curses' but before he could open it, a man snatched it away from him.
"Hey!"
He turned around and saw a man in a white robe.
"Young boy, you should not read this book. It is a very dangerous book indeed. It contains the most powerful ancient curses in the world."
Ron gave a tight lipped smile and watched away.
"There goes my chance of cursing Malfoy, AGAIN," Ron muttered.
Ron quickly forgot about the spell book. There were many interesting books in the library. He picked up 'History of Egyptian Magic'. It was boring but he was sure Hermione would love this book. Ron didn't buy the book though. He wanted to get her something personal. Something that will tell her how much he loved her.
Ron picked up a little pyramid key chain and smiled. Hermione would definitely like this. He added it into his basket of souvenirs. So far, he got a fake mummy, a little pyramid paper weight (you can put five different colours of ink in it at once) and a pair of floating sandals.
"Now what on earth is this?" Ron wondered. Ron picked up what looked like a little miniature spinning top. He looked at the little sign on the shelf. Pocket Sneakoscope. Lights up and spin when there's someone untrustworthy around.
He suddenly thought of Harry.
"Maybe I should get this for Harry," Ron thought.
He added the Sneakoscope into his basket and went to the counter. It all cost a Galleon, two Sickles and ten knuts. For once, Ron didn't have to worry about the price. He paid and went out. Ron visited a lot of shops after that. The Quidditch Equipment was a disappointment. The best broom in the store was the Nimbus 1005. Really outdated. But he visited lots of interesting shops.
Splash!
"Ugh!" Ron yelled. He was covered with green gunk from head to toe. The shop keeper laughed at him. He ignored him and he started to look around Fedroteps's. Ron ran his hand through his hair. Surprisingly, there wasn't any green gunk in it. He looked at his clothes. Nothing. The green gunk must have been a harmless joke. Fedroteps's was definately a really cool joke shop. It was way cooler than Zonko. There were many differant barrels in the shop. Ron peered into a yellow barrel and saw that it was filled with quills. He picked up a quill and looked at it. Nothing special. He looked at the sign above the barrel. Quagmire quills. Beware. Writing with this quill will sink you into the ground. Lasts for 10 minutes.
Ron went to look into other barrels. There were Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans (not your normal Bertie Botts. You will turn into the flavour), Brawn Brownies (Show your friends your muscular body. Lasts for an hour or so) ,etc. Ron knew that his brothers would have bought lots and lots of jokes so he didn't bother getting any. He probably could swipe one or two from them. Before he left, the shopkeeper offered him a cookie (to apologize for the joke). Ron smiled and took the bulldog shaped cookie.
Pop!
"Woof!Woof!" Ron barked.
Ron had been tricked again! He didn't realize that the shopkeeper offered him Doggie Cookie. The shopkeeper laughed and fished out a mirror from his pocket.
He held it in front of Ron and said ,"Look,You look so handsome."
Ron looked into the mirror and to his horror an angry looking bulldog with red fur stared back at him.
"WOOF! WOOF! WOOF! (TURN ME BACK!),"he barked.
"What? I don't understand you. Run along doggie," the shopkeeper smiled and patted Ron on the head and pushed him out of the shop.
"By the way," the shopkeeper called out, "You'll turn back in sixty minutes. Have fun"
Ron growled. Ron looked at the giant clock and realized that he had to meet his family at the entrance now. He picked up his parcel and started walking.
