Date: 2 July 2030 Characters: Fred Weasley, NPC!George, OPEN to you little friends Location: WWW, 93 Diagon Alley Private/Public: Public. Rating: Um Tbd. Warnings: N/A. Summary: What does WWW have now that the black out has occurred?
"Dad, we need more candles," Fred said as he headed to the back of the shop. "We've already sold out of the ones that never stop burning."
Weasleys Wizards Wheezes had only been open for an hour, but they'd never been more busy. Maybe it was that everyone just needed a laugh after moments of sudden darkness, or maybe it was that Fred and George had painted a giant sign on the side of their shop. The sign was similar to the old You-Know-Poo trick, except now it read 'Did you survive the 2030 Black-out?' Inside the shop a whole wall had been taken down and replaced with ever-burning candles, candles that lit off fireworks when they'd nearly burnt out, and loads of other lighted objects. There were also a series of t-shirts, socks, and pointy wizard hats, all of which read 'I survived the 2030 Black-out.'
Fred and George had been up the entire night working on this special project. Fred didn't feel exhausted as he lifted a few boxes of merchandise and carried it onto the sales floor. But the slow way he slumped his shoulders and the bags under his eyes certainly told a different story. As Fred set the boxes down, he glanced at his watch. It was nearly ten o'clock now. A quick glance around the shop told him, however, that the crowd was unlikely to abate anytime soon.
