Harry followed Ron inside noticing everything, taking it all in at once. They were actually doing pretty good for themselves. Maybe things would be okay for them in the long run. At first Harry wasn't quite sure the whole idea of a joke shop would go over well, but they were doing fine.
"All right Syd, you can work behind the cash register and Harry and Ronald, you can walk around and entice our customers into buying things," Fred explained walking to the back of the store and slamming the door behind him. Sydney stood there leaning on her elbows with her head in her hands. Ron flicked the sign on the door so that it said open. "You know, this is going to be the most boring day of our lives?" Ron admitted something no one else would. Harry walked around and looked at everything. "No kidding," he sighed, "but at least we're making money off of this." "Yes, but it's Fred and George, they'll give us a galleon each and make it seem like it's such a big deal that they even gave that to us," Sydney explained. Her American accent sounded off the walls. It almost felt weird to hear it. Unrecognizable.
"I got a letter back from Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon. "They shoved another bed in your room. Guess we're going to be roommates. Lucky us huh?" Harry smiled. "We can complain about Dudley together at least." "Yes, but he'll have more to joke around about now that I'm living there." "Just think one more year after this one and we won't have to put up with them anymore." She nodded as a customer walked in. Seamus Finnigan had a large grin on his face. "Hello fellow Gryffindors'. How are we today?" Sydney leaned back against a shelf. "How do you think we are?" Seamus chuckled and shrugged his shoulders at the same time walking back to the counter.
"Where are Fred and George? I thought this was their joke shop?" "They're in the back probably being jackasses." He nodded. "It's a shame they won't be in school with us this year. I'm going to miss the laughs." "OH, but they will," Ron answered. "What do you mean? They quit." "Oh, you'll see," Harry smirked at the thought.
