Just what to buy her brother?
It was nearing on his birthday and she'd yet to buy him something, anything. A loss was what was coming to her, as she hadn't the faintest of clues, though remembered he'd been quite fond of a number of joke items growing up. Waking to find spiders in her bed, frogs in her shoes, and other such nonesenses was common when her dad had been alive. Since his death, her brothers and she were demanded to behave like civilians, which meant hardly a smile in their household. And as her mother hadn't come for her, she was feeling a bit more lax about spending some of her inheritance, and it was for a good cause.
But what to get the poor, dear fellow? Rael had spent the weekend exploring a number of shops in Diagon, but they hadn't anything that sparked her as being just right, so she'd resorted to taking on Hogsmeade. Dervish and Bangs was to be her next stop if nothing here would do, they always had something.
While she'd been in attendance at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, she hardly entered this shop, much preferring to send orders to Weasley's when possible, but this particular joke shop was not out of style. It was just hardly thought of first when trying to find a good gag, and all she needed was to find the worst of them. Though, something a bit more out of style might be just the thing, considering her brother was turning a year older, a bit more mature, and would enjoy a blast from the past. At least if it wasn't his real gift, and she needed to find something more to give him if she couldn't find just the right thing here. Wonderful, more money to spend that she should really be saving.
Rounding an aisle corner of the shop, she came to a halting stop, a large display of some new fangled sparkly, shimmery exploding stars having been dumped in a not so careful spot. One step closer, even a budge, and she would be in the midst of a shooting star finale.
