WHO Everyone (party post!)
WHAT The Grand Opening of WWW & Magic Ally
WHEN Saturday afternoon (forward dated)

WARNINGS hopefully none but kick me if needed
STATUS Party Post

Magic Ally was finally ready to be opened. Hermione and Fred had worked together to get both shops ready for a Grand Opening, with a Floo set up between both shops and instructions clearly laid out next to each of the fireplaces.

Magic Ally itself was decorated with floating orbs of light that changed colors every few minutes and everything was freshly stocked and organized. There were high tops set up with various finger foods and non-alcoholic drinks in turn. Everyone was encouraged to browse and shop, and Hermione provided each person who ventured into the store a coupon discounting any purchase anyone made.

Fred and George were supposed to have their Grand Opening in the middle of January, but with George's departure from Madison Valley, Weasley Wizard Wheezes delayed it's Grand Opening a few weeks. Luckily, Hermione was willing to go in and do a joint opening with him.

He had set up some tables of snacks and drinks at his own shop, and he had made sure there were more than enough products available on the shelves. The shop consisted of a few floors, the bottom floor catering toward the muggles of Madison Valley. The bottom floor consisted of any joke product that anyone could use, regardless of their magic ability. The rest of the shop catered toward the magic users of the town. Anyone could go anywhere in the shop, but there were plenty of signs on the upper floors warning the non-magic users of the dangers of using the magical jokes.

He wanted to encourage anyone who came into the shop to browse wherever they pleased, he just wanted to make sure that everyone understood that some of the products were not meant for some people in the town.

Piper was not going to miss the opening of the magic shop. She pretty much promised Hermione she wouldn't. Besides, she felt like she had to be here. She'd given the other woman some advice on this whole thing. She wanted to see it through.

When she arrived, she took it all in. She was quite impressed with everything, and she was proud of Hermione. All that hard work had paid off. The shop was wonderful.

The only magic Adrian was really familiar with was Moroi magic - control of one of the five elements. It had never really occurred to him before coming to Madison Valley that there were other types of magic, or that humans could do magic at all. Since he'd had Sydney's memories for a week he was now aware that she could do magic as well, of a very different type than the Moroi. And he'd been told there were other types of magic here besides hers. He was both intrigued and a little frightened by it. So when he heard there was a magic shop opening, he decided to check it out.

Naturally, being Adrian, he still noticed and gravitated towards the beautiful women. He definitely wasn't here with the intention of picking someone up, but hey, if it happened he wouldn't complain.

He looked around at the shelves, and picked up an item almost at random. "Do you think this stuff actually works?" He asked the woman who happened to be standing next to him.

Piper had already gathered a few things she was planning to purchase. Mostly, there were some ingredients she wanted to replace. I was always good to be prepared. Who knew when some random magic problem could arise.

She glanced at the guy who was talking to her once she placed another item in her basket.

"I don't just think it does," she said, though not unkindly. "I know it does."

	"Oh really?" Adrian asked, raising one eyebrow. He was intrigued. Perhaps this woman was a witch, like Sydney. "And how do you know, exactly?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I use ingredients like these in spells and potions," Piper said simply. He was correct in his assumption. "I'm a witch, too. Like some of the others here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Really?" Adrian knew that Sydney was a witch, he remembered that much from the week he'd had her memories. But the memories were gone now and he couldn't recall any details. He didn't know what it was actually like when she did magic - what it looked like, the types of things she could do, or anything, really.

"That's fascinating. There do seem to be a lot more of you here than at home. I'm not terribly familiar with your type of magic." He smiled, putting on the charm. "I'd love to see what you can do."

"I can't show you potions or spells right now," Piper admitted. "I'd need a kitchen or a place to make them first."

They weren't near anything like that right now. Sometimes these potions were very involved, at least in her form of magic.

"I can show you this, though." She tossed one of the ingredients in the air, then flicked a wrist toward it. Just like that, it froze mid-air.

Adrian nodded, understanding why she couldn't just do a spell. Sydney needed ingredients and preparation when she did spells too. It didn't work the same as vampire magic, which was more spontaneous.

He smiled in admiration at her trick. "Nice. How do you get it to float like that? Is is by controlling the air currents, or some other method?" He knew Moroi air magic users who could do something similar, but he had a feeling this wasn't the same.

	"My sisters and I were all born with a specific power," Piper explained. "I have the power of molecular manipulation. I can basically slow down whatever it is I want to freeze." She took a moment to unfreeze the object, letting it fall back into her shopping basket. She wasn't sure how it all worked. It was just magic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I've seen people with specific powers. Or actually power over specific elements. But never molecular manipulation or freezing thing like that. That's very impressive. Thank you for showing me."

Adrian deliberately didn't mention his own magic. He still hadn't told many of the humans here about it, and besides, it was hard to demonstrate and came at a cost.

"So the shop owners are friends of yours?"

	Piper didn't mind showing off her magic much anymore. When she first arrived, she was very secretive about it. She had to be at home. But she'd been here long enough now to know it was safe to share here. "I know the owner of the magic shop," she replied. She'd even given Hermione some business advice. She was truly proud of the young woman. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well, tell your friend good luck with the shop. I'm sure with all the magic users here it's bound to be a success." Adrian picked up a few interesting looking items to buy, despite the fact that his kind of magic didn't really use materials like this. It would still come in handy for something.
