A/N – REALLY sorry that I haven't updated in so long but I don't like to
type that much and these require a lot of typing. I will do my best to
update more often in the future. Hope I still have some faithful readers
out there!
~Chapter 4: Weasley's Wizard Wheezes~
It was about an hour later and the entrance to Diagon Alley was opening before Harry's eyes. He walked through the brick archway and saw a street crowded with witches and wizards. He walked down the street looking at all the familiar shops around him. He wished he had his Hogwarts letter. It would give him something to do.
He turned a corner and saw about 50 people crowded around a new store. He got closer and saw a big sign that read "Weasley's Wizard Wheezes" hanging over the crowds head.
He walked over to the crowd and managed to push through to the front. When he got there he saw Fred and George. Fred was holding a sandwich. Fred bit down on the sandwich and the whole thing disappeared.
George suddenly yelled, "NEW, FEINDISH FOOD!!!!! Buy today at a special low price!"
Harry watched the same thing happen with a cookie and a piece of chicken before he slipped past the demonstration and into the shop.
He opened his mouth in shock. The store was packed with all kinds of joke shop stuff. There was the normal stuff and then there was a whole lot of stuff the twins had made up. There was candy that instantly made teeth rot for a day. There were shoes that started shrinking as soon as you put them on. As Harry walked around the shop he found so many things that he wanted to buy.
Suddenly the front door opened and closed, and a lock clicked.
"Whew!" said George's voice, "I didn't think we would get that big of a crowd! But I am glad we did!"
"Same here," said Fred's voice, " C'mon, I'm starved, especially after all that food kept disappearing from my hands."
"Yea," said George, "Let's eat."
Harry, who was trying to get out of the store unnoticed, was suddenly hit in the head with something very hard.
"OW!" yelled Harry. He turned around and saw a poltergeist swinging a chalk filled sock at him.
"Hello?" called George, "I thought the store was empty."
"Me too," said Fred, "Hello!" He came around the corner to see Harry on the ground trying to dodge the chalk filled sock.
"STOP IT FORGE!" said George. The poltergeist turned around, saluted to the twins, and floated away, leaving Harry with the twins.
"Sorry about that Harry," said George, helping Harry off the ground, "It's one of our products."
"Pretend Poltergeists!" said Fred, "We always let two float around the store for advertisement."
"The one that attacked you is Forge," said George.
"And the other one is Gred," said Fred.
"Oh," said Harry, "They are very realistic."
"Thank you," said the twins.
"Your welcome," said Harry, "Well, I'll just go. You guys deserve a quiet lunch break after that crowd I saw out there."
"No Harry," said George, "Don't leave!"
"We would love for you to join us for lunch," said Fred.
"And besides," said George, "Do you really think our lunch breaks are ever 'quiet'?"
"Alright, I'll stay," said Harry, "I have no where else to go."
"Come with us," said George. Harry followed Fred and George into the back of the shop.
"So Harry," said Fred as he pulled some sandwiches out of the fridge, "What brings you to Diagon Alley?"
"Oh, not much," said Harry, "Two Death Eaters attacked me at my house, and then my aunt, who turned out to be a witch, showed up and killed Lucius Malfoy, and then my uncle kicked us out of the house. So we came here."
"WHAT?!?!" said Fred, dropping the sandwiches as George spit out the pumpkin juice he drinking.
"No way!" exclaimed George.
"Yea," said Harry.
They sat down and started to eat lunch. Fred and George asked Harry a ton of questions about the Death Eater attack and Harry asked them questions about their joke shop.
After lunch the twins let Harry go around the shop and pick out some free joke things. They told Harry that it was just a little bit of thanks for his large investment. Harry thanked them, then left with a full bag.
Harry looked through wizard shops all afternoon then went back to the leaky cauldron for dinner. After dinner he went up to his room and went to bed.
A/N – I know, I know. Boring AND useless. But I wanted Harry to go to the joke shop. The next chapter will be MUCH more exciting! I WILL update in the next few days. I already have the chapter most written up.
