Sky stood before the old small building that was now finally hers. She deci ded to start a buisness so she could make some extra money. She used her wand to paint the building and to put on a sign that looked like it was engu lfed in blue and black flames. It would turn orange and red in the evenings.
It took nearly a whole day to stock the shelves with her products. she even carried some of the Weasley's items. She had a special box upfront at the register that was filled with Skiving Snackboxes and fake wands.
Sky had made a snitch that would turn invisable at random moments. It would be fun to use during Quidditch Practice. She had brooms that emitted a smokey fume when they are being used, guarenteed to make everyone but the user sneeze their heads off.
Sky had many more products. She laid out a menu that priced everything. She waited behind the counter for customers.
Jessie walked into the store. She had heard that Sky was making her own store, and so she wanted to visit. *Sky!! Hey! How's the store going!!??* She said giving her friend a hug.
Sky smiled. "Its good.Just slow." Sky took out a cage from under the counter. "I'm also selling Miniature Poorandas." Sky pulled out a small kangaroo panda breed animal that was no bigger than a soda can.
*Oh my gosh!!! They are so cute!!!* Jessie said *Can I..... hold one?* she asked looking at the tiny pooranda.
Sky gently eased one into Jessie's hand. "They can be fiesty little buggers, but they can also be very passionate and loving to their owners." Sky took out a small treat for the creature that was about the size of a chocolate chip. "Here. You can give him a few of these. Just be careful. He may bite when he is teased and stuff."
Jessie nodded while feeding the little creature. He looked almost identical to a chipmunk, but you could see the panda and kangaroo resemblance.
After a while she said *How much do they cost?*
Sky thought for a moment. "For you...hmmm what d'you say....8 sickles?"
Jessie nodded and pulled th money out of her pocket. *Thanks so much Sky!!! I love him!!! I think I'll name him.... Chip!*
Sky handed her a medium sized bag of food and a small bag of treats. "Only 10 treats a day. Or he'll gain too much weight." The food was free as was the cage and a toy. "Enjoy!"
Matt walked in, curious about the store. He saw Sky and Jessie and waved. She walked over to where they were talking. "Hey."
Hey!!* Jessie said. *Oh my goodness Sky there is so much free stuff!! How can I repay you?*
"Can you find me some customers?" She asked hopefully.
Mira walked in and went over to the counter. "Hey sky! Need a worker bee?"
Jessie nodded happily. *Sure Sky! I can do that for you!* Jessie ran out into the street *EVERYBODY! IF YOU'VE EVER WANTED ANYTHING, THEN YOU BELONG IN MASONS JOKE SHOP!!*Jessie screamed. people stopped and stared. *WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? GET IN THE STORE!!* She put her arms up and pointed to the door of the shop. *LETS GET A MOVE ON!*
"Wow." Mira half sighed half giggled.
Jessie whispered *Accio Stereo!* A radio appeared. She set it on the ground and turned the volume way up. *LETS GET IN THERE!!!!!!! SHOPPING TIME!!!!* She said dancing to the music.
Sky laughed and seen an owl zoom by outside. She sighed.
Jessie was really getting into it. She had magically changed all of the words on her radio to ones that advertised Mason's Joke Shop. *WWOOOHOOO!!!!!!!!* She screamed dancing like a maniac. Everyone was stopping to watch her, and she even got a couple people to go into the shop.
One guy had seen the new and improved Joke wands. He had purchased 10 of them. "Jessie! Thank you! Just that customer alone made me 4 Galleons!" Sky was really excited. A student from hogwarts had bought herself some secret note paper for 4 sickles and a secret ink quill for 1 sickle.
Jessie's music was to loud to hear what Sky had said, but she shot her a thumbs up anyways.
Mira started to laugh as customers came in.
Sky watched as George Weasley entered the shop. He smiled as he looked around. "WOW! How'd ya get all of this stuff? I remember the owl you sent me, but I didn't know you could do all of this!" George said in Amazement. Sky laughed. "Pick anything you want, I'll ship it to you."
Jessie countinued to dance, as gradually the croud outside began to thin, and the crowd inside began to grow.
~Hey, Sky! We should have an official Grand Opening!~ Jessie thought to Sky.
Mira just watvhed trying to hold back hysterical laughter.
Sky grinned. *Yeah! Well, tomorrow we could have a special chocolate frog ice cream social!*
Jessie ran inside *Oh my goodness we should!!!* she said *oooh!!!! could we have peeps!!!* she said melting at the glorious idea.
"ahhhh... Peeps..." Mira sighed and leaned against the counter starting off into space.
