Open Post: Hogsmeade

[courageous_wit]

[it's Saturday, so it's time to kick back and enjoy the lovely sights of Hogsmeade. Have a drink at the Three Broomsticks, grab some sweets from Honeydukes, or dare to check out the famously haunted Shrieking Shack! Just kick back and enjoy yourselves today!

This is technically only open to third years and above, but if you can sneak out without teachers noticing more power to you!]

[Barney's only been able to get out to Hogsmeade for a year now, but even so, he's already managed to sample most of the wares here. he's currently perusing the shelves near the back, where the less popular Muggle "magic" tricks are kept]

.... fff. Wow. They seriously consider these "magic"?

[kungfuwitch]

[There's the snap of gum behind Barney as someone peers around his shoulder]

Yeah. I don't get it, either.

[bro_codebreaker]

I mean, these rings are about the most ridiculous thing. [he rolls his eyes] A total Squib could get this right. ... Maybe that's why they're here, maybe this is the Squib section.

[She cracks up]

I don't get the whole obsession with muggle stuff, anyway. It's so lame. Why would anyone like any of that junk?

[bro_codebreaker]

I don't know. You know, I hear there are people who get busted by the Ministry for having whole secret caches of Muggle stuff. Seriously, what a waste of space...!

[kungfuwitch]

They should be busted for having no taste.

[She snorts, picking up one of the "trick" decks of cards and turning it over in her hand]

Seriously it's just tacky.

[bro_codebreaker]

Like people who hang giant utensils in their kitchen. .... Hey, I just had a thought. .... What if we added some real magic to these, made them actually worth something?

[kungfuwitch]

Oh that's a wicked idea! [Her face lights up] They should blow up in their faces or something.

[Dairine wasn't interested in the Muggle stuff, what with all the other fantastic goodies to check out. But she is close enough to overhear Barney.]

Not really. More like entertainment.

[oh look it's a Ravenclaw. of course she'd be a know it all and point out rational stuff. Barney rolls his eyes]

That's even dumber. These are boring.

[wizard_redfive]

[Dairine turns to frown at him, revealing her black-eye. This Ravenclaw might look familiar from last night's game, if he was actually paying attention.]

Of course they're boring. They're not being used right now.

[bro_codebreaker]

[paying attention from the bench. rub it in, why don't you]..... Even when they are? Lame.

[wizard_redfive]

That depends on the skill of the "magician." Some can be rather impressive, considering they're not using real magic.
