Feeling restless? Want to shake things up at Hogwarts? Surely Zonko's has something to tide you over.

[NEW DAY]
Spending her work days in a joke shop was one thing for Verity, but spending her "day off" in one was quite another. It was not as though the knick-knacks had lost their appeal, but every now and again it was good to get away from the prank paraphernalia. Alas, Verity had been ordered by the Twins to "keep an eye on the enemy", which entailed going to Zonko's and perusing the merchandise.
At the moment, Verity was poking through the shelves boredly, wondering if she was getting paid for this little excursion. Reaching to adjust a product (a habit instilled in her from far too many hours in Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes), Verity felt a sharp nip at her finger.
"Oh!" Verity jerked back, cradling her afflicted finger to her abdomen. A droplet of blood pooled from the puncture and Verity stood on her tip-toes to see what had caused her injury…
And there it was- a particularly vicious nose-biting teacup. Frowning, Verity sucked her finger gingerly--it wasn't the most sanitary way to ease the pain, but it was the most convenient.
