After they were all done getting their robes at Madam Malkin's, which Céline was grateful to Bill for having his connections at Gringotts, she didn't have to wait for hours just to get to her vault. Instead, while he went to get Harry his money, he got hers at the same time.
As they walked out, where Hagrid was waiting, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and Ginny were coming towards them.
"We got all the supplies and text books. We'll stop by the Apothecary and Eeylopes on the way to the Twin's shop. Come now, lets stay together." Mrs. Wealsey said.
They stop by the Apothecary where Céline, Hermione and Ginny got what they needed. Then Eeylopes Owl Emporium to buy large bags of bird feed for Hedwig, Pigwidgeon and for Céline's two owls she had brought with her. They were a beautiful Great Horned-Owls named Lumière and Sagesse. (In french meant Light and Wisdom)
"Come along children, it should be just around the corner. Ninety-two... ninety-four—"
"Whoa..." Ron said in awe.
Centered in the dull, poster filled store fronts around them, Fred and George's windows were bright and dazzling to the eyes. Passerby would look over their shoulders and completely stop almost being transfixed. In the left window were large displays of goods that revolved, popped, flashed and shrieked and on the right window was a large poster, purple like the ministry's and emblazoned with bright yellow lettering:
WHY ARE YOU WORRYING ABOUT YOU-KNOW-WHO? WHEN YOU SHOULD BE WORRYING ABOUT U-NO-POO—
CONSTIPATION SENSATION THATS GRIPPING THE NATION!
Ron and Harry burst into laughter, while there was a small groan next to them. Céline looked over to see Mrs. Weasley reading the words.
"They'll be murdered in their sleep." She muttered.
"No they won't!" Ron said still laughing? "This is brilliant!"
They led the way into the shop, and outside only partly show the amazing work the twins put into the shop. The place was crowded with so many people that Céline and the others weren't able to get close to the shelves. Céline looked around at the towering boxes of the Skiving Snackboxes the twins perfected last year.
Céline saw that the Nosebleed Nougats were the most popular seeing there was only one box left. There was a clearing in the crowd and she made her way to the counter. She looked behind her to see Harry and Ron off somewhere else, it was Hermione who squeezed her way through. She looked just as impressed as Céline did.
Suddenly she felt someone hug her from behind and she jumped.
"Céline! I missed you!" A feminine voice said brightly from behind her. She instantly recognized her best friend's voice and she turned and returned the hug.
"Daphne!" Céline gasped. "I'm so glad to see you!"
"I saw you walk in with the Weasleys and tried to catch up. Hey Granger!" Daphne said waving and smiled to Hermione who happily greeted back.
"Isnt this place amazing? Just look at this," Hermione said looking a box, "Patented Daydreaming Charms, one simple incantation, that will take you to a top-quality, highly realistic, thirty minute daydream, easy to fit into an average school lesson, virtually undetectable. No sale for under-sixteen. You know, this is extraordinary magic."
"Aw just for that Hermione," a voice came from behind them, "you can have one for free."
They looked behind them to see a beaming Fred standing there wearing a magenta colored suit that clashed with his fiery red hair.
