Pranks are the best (Open)

[Alexa Longbottom]

((Ok so here is something to start the site getting active again. For whoever gets on and is bored or wants to post.))

A Sunday afternoon, raining, and nothing to do. Alexa was really getting bored. She was in the Great Hall with a letter in her hands. She had just recieved a prank fom her two little brothers back home. Instead of being mad, she felt amused and a bit sad. She missed very much. SHe had never been very far away from them for so long until she started Hogwarts. She was used to it, but she still missed them none the less. Apparently that didn't stop them from getting her.

After a couple of minutes she sighed, and got up. She ran up to her dormitory, grabbed a coat, and headed out for Hogsmeade. She decided to get pay back on them. There was only one way to do that. Going to Zonko's. Her favorite place in all Hogsmeade. Not just because of the things in there, but also the people who were in there. Mr. and Mrs. Black were one of the very people she mostly enjoyed talking to. They were very nice people, and also very much like idols to Alexa. She even went there when she didn't want a prank, sometimes just to talk and be in the store. She had memories of always getting into random conversations with starngers inside the store. For no apparent reason.

She went through the rain, almost running inside. The little jingle of the bell on top of the door was very familiar to her. She came in hung up her coat at the entrance and went straight to the front desk. She greeted the owners, explained her purpose, and began to look around for a good prank to pull by mail. Smirking all the while she was looking.

[Robyn Matthews]

Robyn was in Zonko’s trying to find something to get her friends with. She had run out of her supplies from Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes, Her preferred brand of Jokes and pranks. But she couldn’t use her money on mail ordering so early on in the year. Instead she had decided to go to Zonko’s where she knew the owners. Her father had been good friends with the owners wife and she had visited her and Cameron and her mother throughout the years. Especially after her father had died. Emilia Black had been there for the family when Robyn wasn’t even old enough to remember.

She had been in the shop for some time. Having talked to Daniel Black for a while over what he had that was new. He had some things already set aside for her at the counter. Waiting for her to finish her shopping around the store to add more to the pile and buy it all in one go. She heard the chiming of the bell that let everyone know either someone was leaving the store, or entering. The few people that had already been there still seemed to be occupied by what was in their hands. One look at the counter and Robyn smirked good naturedly. It seemed Alexa was here today for a little shopping as well.

Putting a few things back in their respective crates she watched as Alexa moved around the shop. Robyn began to follow her around the store. Each time getting closer. Each time a new idea shooting across her head. She didn’t want to use anything up from the store and have to pay for it before she left. But she wanted to do something. Having to put the thought of pranking Alexa to the side she decided to just appear to her. Maybe get a few ideas on what else she could get to complete her momentary stock. “Alexa” Robyn made herself known in a sing song voice as she picked up an object near her and examined it. Half of her attention on Alexa the other on the jar of miniature singing spiders.
