For those of you that knew him, Percy Weasley's left the City.

Maybe he'll be back or maybe the lucky git's finally gone home. There's usually something more to say in these sorts of posts but I can't really think of anything.

But basically that means Weasley's Wizard Wheezes will be closed until further notice while things are shuffled around. Don't worry—we'll get back to stocking you lot with pranks and joke sweets in no time.

Thanks.

My brother left the joke shop to the three of us, so if you'd like to talk about that, we can try and suss it out.

And if we haven't been properly introduced: hi. I'm Ginny.

That one wasn't bad. Kinda cute. I know a lotta people would've liked the hippos to stick around.

[hexuality]

Were you one of them?

Re: Video

[trenchknives]

Well, I dunno. If we were back home, my son woulda liked 'em a lot, but around here, my dog probably woulda flipped out if tiny hippos had started buggin' him.

[Oh, Jimmy. She's here feeling bad about her brother and you've got a son?]

You've got a son? What's his name?

Re: Video

[trenchknives]

His name's Tommy. He's four. He'd think the tiny hippos were about the best thing that'd ever happened.

[hexuality]

He likes animals, hm?

Re: Video

[trenchknives]

Sure. He keeps askin' for a pony. Don't think that's gonna fit in our apartment, though.

Bill said Charlie wanted a unicorn when he was little. [Maybe he's just joking, but.] I reckon that's the same, in a way.

Re: Video

[trenchknives]

Are unicorns real, in your world?

Video

[hexuality]

Yeah. Dragons, too—Charlie works with them in Romania, actually.

Re: Video

[trenchknives]

See, that's a hell of a lot more excitin' than anythin' we've got!

[She chuckles, shrugging.]

I don't know. I reckon anything that isn't normal for you is exciting. I think cars and computers and toasters are pretty brilliant.

Re: Video

[trenchknives]

You don't have cars?

[Computers are pretty exciting to him, too, but cars? Isn't she supposed to be from the future?]

Video

[hexuality]

They exist but we don't use them. Magic, you know? Though Dad had one once and he enchanted it to fly.

[She misses him too. :( ]

Re: Video

[trenchknives]

Okay, see, an enchanted flyin' car is a hell of a lot more interestin' than a normal one.

Video

[hexuality]

But getting something to just do that without magic, I mean, move and drive and everything. I think that's really cool.

Re: Video

[trenchknives]

I guess it is pretty cool. I mean, ain't like I know how to make it do that, so it's like magic to me anyway.

Video

[hexuality]

Well, what do you know how to do? I mean, what'd you do back home?

Re: Video

[trenchknives]

Uh.

[Good question! He'd somehow managed to sell his skills to Percy, but like hell he remembers what he said.]

Military stuff. Fightin'. I'm a good bodyguard. Uh... I drive well. 'n I can take apart a vacuum cleaner 'n put it back together.

[Impressive?]

[IMPRESSIVE.]

Shame there aren't too many cars around here.

Re: Video

[trenchknives]

Even if there were, they probably wouldn't be anythin' I'd know about. Futuristic, y'know. Maybe even flyin'.
